[0032] The cutting mechanism includes a U-shaped frame 2 installed on the rear side of the processing table 1, a cylinder 21 is installed on the upper end of the U-shaped frame 2, the output shaft of the cylinder 21 is connected to the second rotating shaft 22, a connecting plate 23 is installed on the front side of the second rotating shaft 22, a second motor 24 is installed on the upper end of the connecting plate 23, the output shaft of the second motor 24 is connected to a rectangular plate 25, a plurality of linear array cutters 26 are arranged on the lower side of the rectangular plate 25, and the second motor 24 can drive the rectangular plate 25 to rotate ninety degrees.

[0033] When in use, the formed tofu is placed on the supporting platform 13, and the cylinder 21, the second rotating shaft 22, the connecting plate 23 and the rectangular plate 25 drive the plurality of cutters 26 to move downward to cut the tofu into strips. Then, the cylinder 21 drives the plurality of cutters 26 to move upward, and the second motor 24 drives the rectangular plate 25 to rotate ninety degrees, so that the plurality of cutters 26 rotate ninety degrees to a horizontal state, and the cylinder 21 is started again to drive the plurality of cutters 26 to move downward to cut the strips of tofu into blocks, thereby realizing the automatic cutting of tofu. After the processing is completed, the first rotating shaft 12 is driven to rotate by the first motor to make the front end of the supporting platform 13 tilt downward, and the processed tofu will roll down to the inclined platform, and finally be discharged from the processing platform 1 from the discharge port 14 through the inclined surface of the inclined platform. The staff only needs to set a collection frame at the lower side of the discharge port 14 to collect the tofu in a unified manner.

[0034] A plurality of linear array cutters 26 are provided, and the cutters 26 can be detachably connected to the rectangular plate 25, so that the cutters 26 can be easily replaced. Meanwhile, the positions of the plurality of linear array cutters 26 can be adjusted according to actual needs to change the size of the cut blocks.

[0035] The supporting platform 13 is composed of a rectangular frame 131, a slide plate 132 and a supporting plate 133. The rectangular frame 131 is connected to the front side of the first rotating shaft 12. The slide plate 132 slides in the rectangular frame 131. The supporting plate 133 is fixed on the upper side of the slide plate 132. A first spring 134 is provided between the front side of the slide plate 132 and the inner wall of the rectangular frame 131. A push rod 135 is connected to the rear side of the slide plate 132. The push rod 135 slides through the rectangular frame 131. An arc plate 136 is fixed to the rear side of the rectangular groove 11. The push rod 135 abuts against the arc plate 136. The arc plate 136 is provided with a plurality of bosses 137.

[0036] During specific use, the tofu is processed on the upper surface of the supporting plate 133, and when the tofu is cut into pieces, the first motor drives the first rotating shaft 12 to rotate, so that the supporting plate 133 is flipped downward as a whole. At this time, the end of the push rod 135 will abut against the boss 137 on the arc plate 136, pushing the slide plate 132 to slide forward, thereby driving the supporting plate 133 to slide forward, and when the push rod 135 leaves the boss 137, the elastic force of the first spring 134 pushes the slide plate 132 to slide backward and reset, and the supporting plate 133 slides backward. In this way, the supporting plate 133 can continuously shake back and forth during the downward flipping process, which can prevent the tofu from adhering to the supporting plate 133.

[0037] The output shaft of the cylinder 21 is fixed with a sleeve 211, the second rotating shaft 22 rotates in the sleeve 211, and a connecting component is provided between the first rotating shaft 12 and the second rotating shaft 22;

[0038] The connecting assembly includes a circular groove opened inside the U-shaped frame 2, a circular seat 3 is rotatably mounted in the circular groove, a first slide groove 31 is opened on the side wall of the U-shaped frame 2, a second slide groove 32 connected to the first slide groove 31 is opened on the upper side of the circular seat 3, a slider 33 located in the first slide groove 31 is fixed to the end of the second rotating shaft 22, and a transmission member is provided between the circular seat 3 and the first rotating shaft 12;

[0039] The transmission member includes a first transmission wheel 34, which is connected to the circular seat 3. A second transmission wheel 35 is fixed to the end of the first rotating shaft 12. The first transmission wheel 34 and the second transmission wheel 35 are connected to each other through a transmission belt 36.

[0040] The rectangular groove 11 is provided with an arc groove 4 on both sides, a sliding plate 41 is slidably provided in the arc groove 4, a second spring 42 is provided at the lower side of the sliding plate 41 and the bottom of the arc groove 4, iron blocks 43 are fixed to the front and rear side walls of the rectangular plate 25, a magnetic block 44 corresponding to the iron block 43 is fixed to the middle of the sliding plate 41, a sleeve 45 is installed at the bottom of the right arc groove 4, a piston 46 is sealed and slidably provided in the sleeve 45, a push rod 47 is fixed to the upper side of the piston 46, and the upper end of the push rod 47 is movably connected to the lower side of the sliding plate 41;

[0041] A one-way water inlet is provided at the bottom of the sleeve 45, which is connected to an external water source. A one-way water outlet is also provided at the bottom of the sleeve 45, which is connected to a hose 48. A nozzle 49 is installed on the lower side of the sliding plate 41, and the upper end of the hose 48 is connected to the nozzle 49.

[0042] When the cutter 26 on the rectangular plate 25 moves up and down, a slider 33 at the end height of the second rotating shaft 22 slides up and down in the first sliding groove 31. After the cutter 26 abuts against the upper side of the bearing platform 13, the slider 33 is located in the second sliding groove 32 of the circular seat 3. Since the circular seat 3 is connected to the first rotating shaft 12, when the first rotating shaft 12 does not rotate, the circular seat 3 will not rotate either. Therefore, the second rotating shaft 22 will not rotate during normal up and down sliding.

[0043] After the tofu is cut into pieces, the cylinder 21 drives the cutter 26 to move upward away from the support platform 13, and the first motor drives the first rotating shaft 12 to rotate, so that the tofu can be cut into pieces;

[0044] When cleaning the cutter 26 and the carrier 16, the second motor 24 is first used to drive the rectangular plate 25 to rotate, so that the cutters 26 are in a horizontal state. At this time, the iron block 43 is located on the left and right sides of the rectangular plate 25. Then, the cylinder 21 drives the cutter 26 downward to abut against the upper side of the carrier 13. At this time, the slider 33 at the end of the second rotating shaft 22 is located in the second slide groove 32 of the circular seat 3. The first rotating shaft 12 is driven to rotate by the first motor, that is, the carrier 13 will flip downward. At this time, the first rotating shaft 12 can drive the circular seat 3 to rotate synchronously through the first transmission wheel 34, the second transmission wheel 35 and the transmission belt 36, so it will drive the second rotating shaft 22 to rotate synchronously, and the carrier 13, the rectangular plate 25 and the cutters 26 will flip downward synchronously.

[0045] After the rectangular plate 25 enters the rectangular groove 11 downward, the iron block 43 on the side wall of the rectangular plate 25 will be attracted by the magnetic block 44 in the middle of the sliding plate 41, thereby driving the sliding plate 41 to move downward synchronously in the arc groove 4, and the sliding plate 41 will be relatively stationary with the rectangular plate 25 and the cutter 26, and the nozzle 49 on the lower side of the sliding plate 41 is located between the rectangular plate 25 and the bearing platform 13. When the right sliding plate 41 moves downward, the piston 45 will be pushed downward in the sleeve 45 through the push rod 47. The clean water in the sleeve 45 is pushed into the hose 48 through the one-way water outlet, and finally sprayed out from the plurality of nozzles on the nozzle 49, spraying the clean water between the plurality of transverse cutters 26. The impact force of the water flow can wash away the debris attached to the side of the cutter 26, and the supporting plate 133 shakes back and forth under the cooperation of the push rod 15 and the boss 137, and the cutter 26 abuts against the supporting plate 133. The debris attached to the supporting plate 133 will be washed away by the cooperation of the cutter 26 and the clean water.

[0046] Therefore, before the carrier 13 turns downward, the cutters 26 on the rectangular plate 25 abut against it, which can drive the carrier 13 and the cutters 26 to turn downward synchronously as a whole, and automatically spray clean water from the spray pipe 49 to achieve automatic cleaning of the carrier 13 and the cutters 26;

[0047] After the cleaning is completed, the first motor drives the first rotating shaft 12 to flip upward, and the rectangular plate 25 and the plurality of cutters 26 will move upward to reset, and then drive the sliding plate 41 to move upward to reset, and the sliding plate 41 pulls the piston 46 to move upward to reset through the push rod 47, and the external clean water is pumped into the sleeve 45 through the one-way water inlet, and the cutters 26 are cleaned as a whole next time;

[0048] The upper end of the push rod 47 is movably connected to the sliding plate 41. A hinge seat is provided for the sliding of the lower side of the sliding plate 41. The upper end of the push rod 47 is hinged to the hinge seat, so that the push rod 47 and the sliding plate 41 can be movably connected. In this way, when the sliding plate 41 moves downward in the arc groove 41, the piston 46 can be driven to slide in the sleeve 45 normally through the push rod 47.

[0049] A plurality of electrically-controlled telescopic rods 5 are installed at the bottom of the left sliding plate 41, and the electrically-controlled telescopic rods 5 are located between two adjacent cutters 26. A cleaning brush 51 is fixed to the end of the electrically-controlled telescopic rods 5. The sliding plate 41 on the left will synchronously follow the rectangular plate 25 to move downward. When the cutters 26 and the supporting plate 133 are cleaned with clean water, the electrically-controlled telescopic rods 5 can be started to drive the cleaning brush 51 to extend between the two cutters 26. The cleaning brush 51 reciprocates to scrub the side walls of the cutters 26 and the surface of the supporting plate 133, thereby further improving the cleaning effect.

[0050] A method for producing fermented bean curd production equipment comprises the following steps:

[0051] Step 1: using the soybean tofu blanks and cutting the tofu blanks into tofu blocks of uniform size using the above-mentioned production equipment, and then inoculating Mucor on six surfaces of the tofu blocks;

[0052] Step 2: placing the tofu block flat on a clean, moist container, placing the container in a constant temperature, sterile environment for fermentation for 2-3 days, allowing mold to grow on the tofu block, and naturally cooling the temperature to room temperature after fermentation to obtain tofu paste;

[0053] Step 3: Mix fennel, dill and orange peel, cut into small pieces, and stir-fry with fine salt for 3-5 minutes. After the aroma comes out, crush it to make seasoning powder;

[0054] Step 4: Rub the tofu blocks to remove the mold, evenly coat them with seasoning powder, and finally put them into the packaging container.
