Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of processing thousand-layer tofu, and particularly relates to a device for removing thousand-layer tofu from a tray after steaming. Background Art

[0002] Thousand-layer tofu is a soy protein product. Its main raw material is soy protein isolate, and usually it is also combined with auxiliary materials such as water, edible vegetable oil, starch, etc., and may also contain ingredients such as stabilizers, coagulants, thickeners, etc. The production process of thousand-layer tofu includes chopping and emulsifying, flavoring, loading into trays, steaming, cooling, cutting, etc.

[0003] After the thousand-layer tofu is steamed and cooled, the whole piece of thousand-layer tofu in the forming tray needs to be taken out to facilitate putting it into a cutting machine for cutting.

[0004] Currently, the common method for workers to take out the thousand-layer tofu is that the workers hold the two side edges of the forming tray by hand, then control the rapid flipping of the forming tray, place the forming tray upside down on the conveyor belt, and then remove the forming tray. The thousand-layer tofu is conveyed to the next process. Since a tray of thousand-layer tofu has a certain weight, manually flipping the forming tray to take out the thousand-layer tofu has a large workload, and when the operation is improper, it is easy to cause the thousand-layer tofu to break.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a device for removing thousand-layer tofu from a tray after steaming to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the problem that when taking out the thousand-layer tofu in the forming tray currently, the workers hold the two side edges of the forming tray by hand, then control the rapid flipping of the forming tray, place the forming tray upside down on the conveyor belt. Since a tray of thousand-layer tofu has a certain weight, manually flipping the forming tray to take out the thousand-layer tofu has a large workload, and when the operation is improper, it is easy to cause the thousand-layer tofu to break, the present invention provides a device for removing thousand-layer tofu from a tray after steaming.

[0007] The solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: a device for removing thousand-layer tofu from a tray after steaming, including a forming tray, a driving component, two groups of mounting seats and two baffle plates.

[0008] A rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the mounting seat, and a power component for driving the rotating shaft to rotate is installed on the mounting seat.

[0009] The relative ends of the two rotating shafts are respectively fixedly connected with L-shaped supports, and the two side edges of the forming tray are respectively in contact with the two L-shaped supports.

[0010] A rectangular chute is opened in the L-shaped support, the baffle plate is arranged in the rectangular chute, and the two baffle plates cover the open end of the forming tray.

[0011] The driving component is installed on the L-shaped support and can drive the two baffle plates to move away from or close to each other.

[0012] Preferably, the power component includes a speed reducer and a driving motor. The speed reducer and the driving motor are respectively installed on the side surface of the mounting seat. The output shaft of the driving motor is fixedly connected to the input shaft of the speed reducer, and the output shaft of the speed reducer is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0013] Preferably, the driving component includes four cylinders. The four cylinders are divided into two groups, and are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of two L-shaped supports. The telescopic ends of the cylinders are installed on the L-shaped supports, and pipe clamps are sleeved on the cylinder barrels. The bottom of the pipe clamps is fixedly connected to the baffle.

[0014] Preferably, the two cylinders on the same side are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the rotating shaft, and are arranged in a staggered manner with the mounting seat.

[0015] Preferably, it further includes a belt conveyor for conveying the forming tray. The belt conveyor is located between the two L-shaped supports.

[0016] Preferably, it further includes a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes two bases. The two bases are respectively located below the two mounting seats, and a plurality of hydraulic cylinders are installed between the bases and the mounting seats.

[0017] Preferably, it further includes two groups of clamping components for clamping the forming tray. The two groups of clamping components are respectively installed on the two L-shaped supports.

[0018] Preferably, the clamping component includes two electric cylinders. The electric cylinders are installed on the outer side surface of the L-shaped support and are located below the baffle. The telescopic ends of the two electric cylinders are fixedly connected to the same clamping plate.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] 1. By controlling the synchronous operation of the two driving motors, the two rotating shafts on both sides respectively drive the rotation of the two L-shaped supports, and then turn the open end of the forming tray to the lower side. By controlling the elongation of the two cylinders, the two baffles move away from each other, and the baffles no longer block the open end of the forming tray, so that the whole piece of thousand-layer tofu in the forming tray falls on the belt conveyor. By controlling the synchronous elongation of the two hydraulic cylinders, the mounting seat, the rotating shaft, the L-shaped support and the forming tray move upward as a whole, so that the forming tray is completely separated from the thousand-layer tofu, which is convenient for the belt conveyor to convey the thousand-layer tofu. Thus, it is not necessary for workers to manually turn the forming tray to take out the thousand-layer tofu, which reduces the labor intensity of workers and avoids the breakage of the thousand-layer tofu at the same time.

[0021] 2. The present invention covers the open end of the forming tray with two baffles to prevent the thousand-layer tofu from falling during the flipping process of the forming tray, thus avoiding the problem of the thousand-layer tofu breaking.

[0022] 3. By controlling the synchronous elongation of the two electric cylinders, the two clamping plates are moved closer to each other to clamp the forming disk, so as to ensure the stability of the forming disk during flipping and lifting. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS

[0028] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present invention provides a technical solution for a tray removal device for thousand-layer tofu after cooking:

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] According to Figures 1-4 shown, it includes a forming disk 2, a driving component, two groups of mounting seats 41 and two baffles 63.

[0032] Bearings are installed on the mounting seats 41, and rotating shafts 42 are sleeved inside the bearings. A power component is arranged on the mounting seats 41. The power component includes a speed reducer 43 and a driving motor 44. The speed reducer 43 and the driving motor 44 are respectively installed on the sides of the mounting seats 41. The output shaft of the driving motor 44 is fixedly connected to the input shaft of the speed reducer 43, and the output shaft of the speed reducer 43 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 42. Through the cooperation of the driving motor 44 and the speed reducer 43, the rotating shaft 42 is driven to rotate.

[0033] The opposite ends of the two rotating shafts 42 are respectively fixedly connected with L-shaped supports 3, and the two sides of the forming disk 2 are respectively in contact with the two L-shaped supports 3, and the forming disk 2 is supported by the two L-shaped supports 3.

[0034] The L-shaped bracket 3 is internally provided with a rectangular chute 31, and the baffle 63 is arranged in the rectangular chute 31. The two baffles 63 cover the open end of the forming tray 2. By covering the open end of the forming tray 2 with the two baffles 63, it is possible to prevent the thousand-layer tofu from falling during the flipping process of the forming tray 2, thus avoiding the problem of the thousand-layer tofu cracking.

[0035] The driving component includes four cylinders 61. The four cylinders 61 are divided into two groups of two, and are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the two L-shaped brackets 3. The two cylinders 61 on the same side are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the rotating shaft 42, and are arranged in a staggered manner with the mounting seat 41. The telescopic end of the cylinder 61 is installed on the L-shaped bracket 3, and a pipe clamp 62 is sleeved on its cylinder barrel. The bottom of the pipe clamp 62 is fixedly connected to the baffle 63. By controlling the synchronous telescoping of the cylinders 61 on both sides, the two baffles 63 are driven to move away from or close to each other.

[0036] It further includes a belt conveyor 1 for conveying the forming tray 2. The belt conveyor 1 is located between the two L-shaped brackets 3.

[0037] It further includes a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes two bases 52. The two bases 52 are respectively located below the two mounting seats 41. A plurality of hydraulic cylinders 51 are installed between the base 52 and the mounting seat 41. By the synchronous telescoping of the two hydraulic cylinders 51, the mounting seat 41, the rotating shaft 42, the L-shaped bracket 3 and the forming tray 2 move upward or downward as a whole.

[0038] It further includes two groups of clamping components for clamping the forming tray 2. The two groups of clamping components are respectively installed on the two L-shaped brackets 3. The clamping component includes two electric cylinders 71. The electric cylinders 71 are installed on the outer side of the L-shaped bracket 3 and are located below the baffle 63. The telescopic ends of the two electric cylinders 71 are fixedly connected to the same clamping plate 72. By controlling the synchronous elongation of the electric cylinders 71 on both sides, the two clamping plates 72 are made to approach each other to clamp the forming tray 2, so as to ensure the stability of the forming tray 2 during the flipping and lifting processes.

[0039] During specific use, for a thousand-layer tofu tray removal device after steaming of the present invention, first start the belt conveyor 1. The belt conveyor 1 conveys the forming tray 2 (the forming tray 2 contains steamed thousand-layer tofu). When the forming tray 2 moves between the two L-shaped brackets 3, the two groups of hydraulic cylinders 51 and the two groups of electric cylinders 71 extend synchronously. The two groups of electric cylinders 71 extend synchronously, making the clamping plates 72 on both sides approach each other to clamp the forming tray 2, and the two groups of hydraulic cylinders 51 extend to make the mounting seat 41, the rotating shaft 42, the L-shaped bracket 3 and the forming tray 2 move upward as a whole;

[0040] Then, control the synchronous operation of the two drive motors 44 to drive the rotation of the two L-shaped supports 3 by the two side rotating shafts 42 respectively, and then turn the open end of the forming tray 2 to the lower side. Then, control the synchronous contraction of the two groups of hydraulic cylinders 51 to lower the forming tray 2 and reduce the distance between the baffle 63 and the belt conveyor 1. After that, control the extension of the two cylinders 61 to move the two baffles 63 away from each other, so that the baffle 63 no longer blocks the open end of the forming tray 2, and the whole piece of thousand-layer tofu in the forming tray 2 falls on the belt conveyor 1;

[0041] Control the synchronous extension of the two hydraulic cylinders 51 again to move the mounting seat 41, the rotating shaft 42, the L-shaped support 3 and the forming tray 2 upward as a whole, so that the forming tray 2 is completely separated from the thousand-layer tofu, facilitating the belt conveyor 1 to convey the thousand-layer tofu;

[0042] Finally, control the synchronous contraction of the two side electric cylinders 71, and the worker removes the forming tray 2 and orderly controls the reset of each mechanism to facilitate the tray removal process of the subsequent thousand-layer tofu.
