Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fully automatic dried bean curd production technology, specifically to a fully automatic dried bean curd production device. Background Technology

[0002] Dried tofu is widely consumed due to its rich taste and high nutritional value. Currently, most dried tofu on the market is made using fully automated dried tofu production equipment. Automated production not only improves production efficiency but also reduces the workload of workers.

[0003] The prior art patent application with application number "CN201922501299.X" entitled "A Fully Automatic Tofu Making Equipment" discloses an opening and closing unit including a fixed plate, a gate, and a guide plate. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the discharge port and has a limiting block. The gate is slidably connected inside the fixed plate and is fixedly connected to the driving end of the distribution drive component. The guide plate is rotatably connected to the gate, and a positioning block matching the limiting block is provided on the side of the guide plate opposite to the gate. The distribution drive component drives the gate to move within the fixed plate, thereby opening the discharge port to discharge the tofu curd inside. At the same time as opening the discharge port, the guide plate is also opened, so that the tofu curd is stably discharged onto the frame conveying mechanism, preventing splashing that would waste costs and affect the subsequent forming quality.

[0004] During the use of the fully automatic bean curd making equipment mentioned above, because the position of the discharge port is fixed and the frame conveying mechanism can only move left and right, when the discharge port discharges material into the frame conveying mechanism, the material will accumulate in the middle area of ​​the frame conveying mechanism, and the material cannot be evenly dropped into various positions in the frame conveying mechanism, thus affecting the subsequent leveling and extrusion work.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a fully automatic tofu-making device to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic dried bean curd making equipment to solve the problem mentioned in the background art. In the current fully automatic dried bean curd making equipment on the market, the position of the discharge port is fixed and the frame conveying mechanism can only move left and right. As a result, when the discharge port discharges material into the frame conveying mechanism, the material will accumulate in the middle area of ​​the frame conveying mechanism and cannot be evenly distributed to various positions in the frame conveying mechanism, thus affecting the subsequent leveling and extrusion work.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic dried bean curd making equipment, comprising an outer shell and a roller conveyor assembly installed inside the outer shell;

[0008] A placement frame with a mesh-like bottom surface is placed above the roller conveyor assembly;

[0009] A first support frame is slidably connected to the top of the outer shell, a mixing chamber is installed inside the middle of the first support frame, and a feeding pipe is installed at the lower end of the mixing chamber; a push frame with a "U" shaped structure is slidably connected inside the outer shell.

[0010] A second support frame is installed on the upper right side of the outer casing. A third electric push rod is fixed through the interior of the second support frame. A connecting frame is installed below the third electric push rod. A pressing plate is installed on the left end of the connecting frame. A cross plate is installed on the right end of the connecting frame.

[0011] Preferably, the upper interior of both the front and rear sides of the outer casing is provided with a sliding groove;

[0012] The lower end of the first support frame is inserted into the slide groove, and the first electric push rod is installed in the slide groove. The output end of the first electric push rod is connected to the right side of the first support frame. The first support frame and the outer shell form a left-right sliding structure through the first electric push rod.

[0013] With the above structure, the first support frame can drive the mixing chamber to slide left and right together, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the feed pipe.

[0014] Preferably, the front and rear sides of the push frame are connected through to the corresponding roller conveying components, the highest point of the push frame is higher than the lowest point of the placement frame, and a second electric push rod is installed in front of the push frame, with the front end of the second electric push rod connected to the inner wall of the front side of the outer casing.

[0015] With the above structure, the push frame can slide back and forth smoothly, which makes it easy for the push frame to move the placement frame back and forth together. The position of the placement frame can be adjusted so that the falling bean curd can fall evenly in various positions within the placement frame.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom surface of the horizontal plate is equipped with a slitting blade assembly with a "well" shaped structure, and the horizontal plate and the extrusion plate move up and down synchronously.

[0017] With the above-mentioned structure, the horizontal plate and the extrusion plate can be raised and lowered synchronously, which can reduce the use of power source, and at the same time, extrusion and cutting operations can be carried out simultaneously, improving the efficiency of tofu production and shortening the time.

[0018] Preferably, the mixing chamber is equipped with a stirring assembly for stirring and mixing, and the mixing chamber and the outer shell form a sliding structure through a first support frame.

[0019] With the above-described structure, the stirring component effectively stirs and mixes the soy milk inside the mixing chamber into soy milk curd.

[0020] Preferably, limiting plates are symmetrically installed on the left and right interior sides of the outer casing. The outer side of the limiting plates is connected to the inner wall of the outer casing via mounting posts, and the distance between the two limiting plates at corresponding positions is greater than the width of the placement frame.

[0021] The limiting plate restricts the movement of the placement frame by setting the above structure.

[0022] Preferably, the limiting plate is disposed above the roller conveyor assembly, and there is a gap between the lower part of the limiting plate and the upper part of the roller conveyor assembly.

[0023] With the above-described structure, the setting of the limiting plate will not affect the use of the roller conveyor assembly.

[0024] Preferably, a slag discharge pipe is installed on the bottom surface of the outer shell, and a pressing plate is correspondingly located above the slag discharge pipe;

[0025] The second support frame and the connecting frame are both designed with an inverted "U" shape, and the horizontal plate and the extrusion plate are in convex-concave fit with the interior of the placement frame.

[0026] With the above structure, the horizontal plate and the extrusion plate can be lowered into the placement frame to perform the segmentation and extrusion work.

[0027] Preferably, a collar is installed on the lower outer side of the feed tube, and a flat plate is installed on the lower right side of the collar. The flat plate is arranged in a "V" shape, and the lowest point of the horizontal area on the right side of the flat plate is flush with the highest point of the placement frame.

[0028] With the above structure, the smoothing plate can smooth the bean curd above the placement frame, preventing the bean curd from overflowing because its height is higher than the height of the placement frame.

[0029] Preferably, a protrusion is installed on the lower right side of the collar;

[0030] Vertical plates are installed on both the front and rear sides of the left side of the flat surface. The shortest distance between the two vertical plates is greater than the width of the placement frame, and the lowest point of the vertical plate is lower than the highest point of the placement frame.

[0031] A limit rod is installed in the groove on the upper part of the flat plate, and a protrusion is slidably connected to the outer side of the limit rod.

[0032] By setting up the above structure, the smoothing plate can always be aligned with the front and back of the moving placement frame, which facilitates the smoothing effect of the smoothing plate on the bean curd on the placement frame.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the fully automatic tofu making equipment can evenly drop the tofu curd into various positions within the placement frame via the feeding pipe, facilitating the even distribution of the tofu curd within the placement frame and providing convenience for subsequent processing. The specific details are as follows:

[0034] (1) The second electric push rod drives the push frame with a "U" shaped structure to move back and forth, and cooperates with the first support frame to drive the mixing chamber and the feeding pipe to move left and right. Therefore, the feeding pipe can evenly drop the bean curd into various positions in the placement frame, which makes it easier for the bean curd to be evenly spread in the placement frame, which provides convenience for subsequent processing.

[0035] Furthermore, as the feeding pipe moves back and forth, it also moves the smoothing plate along with it. At the same time, when the placement frame above the frame moves back and forth, it will move the smoothing plate along with it through the vertical plate. Therefore, the smoothing plate can further smooth the bean curd on the placement frame and prevent the bean curd from piling up too high.

[0036] The sliding of the protrusion on the outside of the limiting rod facilitates the stable forward and backward sliding of the surface plate, making the surface plate easy to use.

[0037] (2) By setting up the connecting frame, the extrusion plate and the slitting blade assembly can be driven to move downward together, so that extrusion and slitting are carried out synchronously, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire fully automatic dried bean curd making equipment and shortening the time of dried bean curd making.

[0038] (3) By setting the limiting plate, the placement frame can be well limited, ensuring that the placement frame moves stably on the roller conveyor assembly. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0050] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] Please see Figures 1-10 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0052] Example 1: The fully automatic tofu-making equipment in this example can evenly drop the tofu curd onto the placement frame 3, saving time for subsequent production processes. See attached diagram for details. Figures 1-2 and appendix Figure 7 and attached Figures 9-10 As shown, there is an outer shell 1 and a roller conveyor assembly 2 installed inside the outer shell 1; a placement frame 3 with a mesh-like bottom is placed above the roller conveyor assembly 2; a first support frame 4 is slidably connected to the upper part of the outer shell 1, a mixing chamber 5 is installed inside the middle part of the first support frame 4, and a feed pipe 52 is installed at the lower end of the mixing chamber 5; a push frame 7 with a "U" shaped structure is slidably connected inside the outer shell 1; a second support frame 8 is installed on the upper right side of the outer shell 1, a third electric push rod 9 is fixed through the inside of the second support frame 8, a connecting frame 10 is installed below the third electric push rod 9, an extrusion plate 12 is installed at the left end of the connecting frame 10, and a cross plate 11 is installed at the right end of the connecting frame 10.

[0053] The upper interior of both the front and rear sides of the outer casing 1 is provided with sliding grooves 101; the lower end of the first support frame 4 is inserted into the sliding groove 101, and a first electric push rod 41 is installed in the sliding groove 101. The output end of the first electric push rod 41 is connected to the right side of the first support frame 4. The first support frame 4 and the outer casing 1 form a left-right sliding structure through the first electric push rod 41. The front and rear sides of the push frame 7 are connected through to the roller conveyor assembly 2 at the corresponding positions. The highest point of the push frame 7 is higher than the lowest point of the placement frame 3. A second electric push rod 71 is installed in front of the push frame 7, and the front end of the second electric push rod 71 is connected to the inner wall of the front side of the outer casing 1. A slitting blade assembly 111 with a "well" shaped structure is installed on the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 11. The horizontal plate 11 and the extrusion plate 12 rise and fall synchronously.

[0054] The mixing chamber 5 is equipped with a stirring assembly 51 for mixing. The mixing chamber 5 forms a sliding structure with the outer shell 1 through the first support frame 4. Limiting plates 13 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the outer shell 1. The outer sides of the limiting plates 13 are connected to the inner sidewall of the outer shell 1 through mounting columns 131. The distance between two corresponding limiting plates 13 is greater than the width of the placement frame 3. The limiting plates 13 are positioned above the roller conveyor assembly 2, and there is a gap between the lower part of the limiting plates 13 and the upper part of the roller conveyor assembly 2. A slag discharge pipe 102 is installed on the bottom surface of the outer shell 1, and an extrusion plate 12 is positioned above the slag discharge pipe 102. The second support frame 8 and the connecting frame 10 are both arranged in an inverted "U" shape. The horizontal plate 11 and the extrusion plate 12 are in concave-convex fits with the interior of the placement frame 3.

[0055] First, the brine and soy milk are poured into the mixing chamber 5 through the feed inlet above the mixing chamber 5. Then, the stirring component 51 is rotated by the motor, so that the stirring component 51 stirs and mixes the brine and soy milk in the mixing chamber 5 to form soy milk.

[0056] After mixing for a period of time, the placement frame 3 is placed on the roller conveyor assembly 2. At this time, the roller conveyor assembly 2 is driven by the motor to work. The roller conveyor assembly 2 drives the placement frame 3 to move to the right. At this time, the limiting plates 13 on the front and rear sides limit the placement frame 3 to move stably to the upper inner side of the push frame 7. When the right side of the placement frame 3 moves to the bottom of the feeding pipe 52, the roller conveyor assembly 2 stops working. Then, the second electric push rod 71 is started to drive the push frame 7 to move back and forth. At this time, the valve in the feeding pipe 52 is opened, and the feeding pipe 52 drops the bean curd onto the placement frame 3. Then, the first electric push rod 41 is started. The first electric push rod 41 drives the lower end of the first support frame 4 to slide in the slide groove 101, so that the first support frame 4 drives the mixing chamber 5 and the feeding pipe 52 to move left and right together. Therefore, through the left and right reciprocating movement of the feeding pipe 52 and the back and forth reciprocating movement of the placement frame 3, the feeding pipe 52 can evenly drop the bean curd into various positions in the placement frame 3.

[0057] Once the bean curd is evenly distributed in the placement frames 3, the roller conveyor assembly 2 is activated again. This assembly moves the placement frames 3, filled with bean curd, above the push frame 7 to the right, directly below the extrusion plate 12. A new placement frame 3 then moves below the feeding pipe 52. As described above, the bean curd continues to fall into the placement frames 3 through the feeding pipe 52. At this point, there is a placement frame 3 below both the horizontal plate 11 and the extrusion plate 12. The feeding pipe 52 continues feeding. Then, the third electric push rod 9 is activated. Its output drives the connecting frame 10 downwards. The connecting frame 10 then moves the extrusion plate 12 and the horizontal plate 11 downwards together. The extrusion plate 12 squeezes the bean curd in the placement frames 3 below, causing excess water to flow through the mesh inside the bottom of the placement frames 3 into the outer shell 1, and later discharged through the slag discharge pipe 102.

[0058] Then, the roller conveyor assembly 2 is started again, and the roller conveyor assembly 2 conveys the placement frame 3 to the right. At this time, the placement frame 3 below the extrusion plate 12 moves to the direct under the horizontal plate 11. Then, as shown above, the third electric push rod 9 is started again. At this time, the extrusion plate 12 extrudes the bean curd in the placement frame 3 below, and the horizontal plate 11 drives the cutting blade assembly 111 to cut the extruded bean curd in the placement frame 3 below. Since the cutting blade assembly 111 is set in a "well" shape, it can be cut into multiple pieces at one time. Finally, the cut tofu in the placement frame 3 is poured out for further processing, and it can be processed into dried tofu.

[0059] Example 2: In this example, the fully automatic tofu making equipment smooths out the falling tofu curd as it is fed through the feeding pipe 52, preventing it from piling up too high. See attached diagram for details. Figure 3As shown, based on Embodiment 1, a collar 53 is installed on the lower outer side of the feeding pipe 52, and a smoothing plate 6 is installed on the lower right side of the collar 53. The smoothing plate 6 is set in a "V" shape. The lowest point of the horizontal area on the right side of the smoothing plate 6 is flush with the highest point of the placement frame 3. When the feeding pipe 52 moves to the left, the feeding pipe 52 drives the smoothing plate 6 with the "V" shape to move to the left through the collar 53. At this time, the horizontal area on the right side of the smoothing plate 6 can smooth the bean curd in the placement frame 3 while moving, so as to prevent the bean curd in the placement frame 3 from overflowing.

[0060] Example 3: Based on Example 2, the fully automatic tofu-making equipment in this example can further improve the quality of smoothing the tofu curds in the placement frame 3. See attached diagram for details. Figures 4-6 As shown, a protrusion 54 is installed on the lower right side of the collar 53; vertical plates 61 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the left side of the flat plate 6, the shortest distance between the two vertical plates 61 is greater than the width of the placement frame 3, and the lowest point of the vertical plate 61 is lower than the highest point of the placement frame 3; a limit rod 62 is installed in the groove inside the upper part of the flat plate 6, and a protrusion 54 is slidably connected through the outer side of the limit rod 62.

[0061] As the placement frame 3 moves back and forth, it automatically pushes the vertical plate 61 to move back and forth as well. At this time, the vertical plate 61 will drive the smoothing plate 6 to move back and forth as well. Meanwhile, the limiting rod 62 inside the upper part of the smoothing plate 6 slides inside the protrusion 54, thereby ensuring that the smoothing plate 6 and the placement frame 3 move back and forth together, so that the smoothing plate 6 is always directly above the placement frame 3, avoiding the placement frame 3 from being misaligned with the smoothing plate 6 when it moves back and forth. Therefore, the smoothing plate 6 has a better smoothing effect on the tofu in the placement frame 3, thus completing a series of tasks.

[0062] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
