Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of tofu processing devices and processing methods thereof, and in particular to a tofu processing device and a processing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Tofu is a traditional soy product that is deeply loved by people. The main raw material of tofu is soybeans. The quality of soybeans has a key influence on the quality of tofu. It is a key step in tofu making. Brine is usually used for brine. When brine or gypsum solution is added to soy milk, the protein in the soy milk will condense under the action of electrolytes to form tofu pudding. Factors such as the amount of brine or gypsum used and the temperature of the brine will affect the taste and texture of tofu. The tofu pudding is scooped into the mold, and the excess water in the tofu pudding is discharged by squeezing or natural drainage to form tofu. Different tofu varieties have different molding methods. For example, when making northern tofu, heavy objects such as heavy stones are used for squeezing, which reduces the water content of the tofu and makes the texture harder; while southern tofu is squeezed less, has a high water content, and tastes more tender and smooth.

[0003] However, the existing tofu processing device requires the ordered tofu curd to be scooped into the mold, and the amount of tofu curd added is not easy to control. In addition, tofu with a high water content is prone to dripping during the scooping process, which is inconvenient to operate.

Sprinklers 16 are equidistantly provided at the inner end of the mold box 10. A clamping groove 9 is provided at the inner end of the mold box 10. The clamping block 8 is slidably installed at the inner end of the clamping groove 9. A mounting plate 22 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the processing table 1. A lower water tank 11 is provided at the inner end of the processing table 1. A water outlet 12 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the processing table 1. A supporting leg 27 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the processing table 1. A supporting frame 13 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the processing table 1. A hydraulic rod 14 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the supporting frame 13. A pressing plate 15 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the hydraulic rod 14. A positioning piece 17 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the processing table 1, and the outer wall of the mold box 10 fits with the outer wall of the positioning piece 17; by pressing the pressing block 7 inward, the bottom plate 4 and the mold box 10 can be quickly separated, so that the tofu can be quickly taken out from the inner side of the mold box 10 to avoid damage to the tofu.

[0035] A positioning piece 17 is provided at the upper end of the collecting box 2, a driving motor 18 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the positioning piece 17, a conveying blade 19 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the driving motor 18, a discharge port 20 is integrally installed at the lower end of the collecting box 2, an electric valve 21 is fixedly installed at the inner end of the discharge port 20, the collecting box 2 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the mounting plate 22, and a support seat 23 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 22; it is convenient to automatically add the tofu curd to the inner side of the mold box 10, thereby improving convenience and processing speed.

[0036] A rack 26 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the feeding box 3, and a gear 25 is meshedly connected to the inner end of the rack 26. A micro motor 24 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the gear 25. A support seat 23 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the micro motor 24, and a rotating wheel 28 is rotatably installed at the inner end of the support seat 23; this facilitates the automatic feeding of tofu pudding into the mold.

[0037] Specific working principle:

[0038] like Figure 1, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, when using the tofu processing device and the processing method thereof, the positioning member 17 is opened upwards, the ordered tofu is added into the collecting box 2, and then the collecting box 2 is closed, and the mold box 10 to be used is placed on the upper side of the processing table 1, so that the two right angles of the mold box 10 are fitted with the positioning member 17 to achieve rapid positioning. After the preparation is completed, the electric valve 21 inside the discharge port 20 is opened, and the tofu falls into the upper side of the discharge box 3. In order to speed up the falling speed of the tofu, the driving motor 18 on the positioning member 17 can be started, and the driving motor 18 drives the conveying blade 19 to rotate inside the collecting box 2 to speed up the falling of the tofu. Because the inner wall of the discharge box 3 is smooth , and the tofu has a high moisture content and is relatively tender and smooth, so the tofu falling on the material box 3 falls into the interior of the mold box 10 along the inclination angle of the material box 3 and quickly leveled, and the staff can also assist in leveling to improve the quality of the tofu. It can be selected according to the needs whether the material box 3 is shaken to speed up the material feeding, and the micro motor 24 can be started when necessary, and the micro motor 24 can be set to rotate forward and reverse. When the micro motor 24 rotates clockwise, the material box 3 moves toward the mold box 10, and when the micro motor 24 rotates counterclockwise, the material box 3 moves in the opposite direction. The micro motor 24 rotates forward and reverse, which drives the material box 3 to shake on the upper side of the mold box 10 to accelerate the falling of the tofu;

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, after the required tofu curd is added to the inside of the mold box 10, the micro motor 24 drives the gear 25 to rotate counterclockwise, the gear 25 meshes with the rack 26, and drives the material box 3 to move away from the mold box 10. The rotating wheel 28 installed on the inner side of the support seat 23 can make the material box 3 move more smoothly, and the hydraulic rod 14 is started. The hydraulic rod 14 drives the pressing plate 15 to move downward, and the pressing plate 15 presses toward the tofu curd to press out the excess water in the tofu curd to make tofu. The water overflows from the water outlet 16 and flows into the inside of the lower water tank 11, and then is discharged from the water outlet 12. When the tofu is pressed, the hydraulic rod 14 drives the pressing plate 15 to move upward, and the mold box 10 together with the bottom plate 4 and the tofu are moved out, and the pressing block 7 is pressed inward, and the pressing block 7 drives the card block 8 to slide on the inner side of the card slot 9. , the part where the bottom plate 4 and the mold box 10 are engaged is loosened, and the mold box 10 can be lifted up to expose the tofu. The operation is simple and quick, and the tofu can be taken out without turning it over to avoid damage to the tofu. When the mold box 10 needs to be connected to the bottom plate 4 again, the pressing block 7 is pressed inwardly, and the mold box 10 is placed on the upper side of the bottom plate 4 with the four sides fitted together. At this time, the card block 8 enters the interior of the card slot 9, and then the pressing block 7 is released. Under the elastic force of the alloy spring 6, the alloy spring 6 drives the pressing block 7 to move outward, and the card block 8 is again engaged with the interior of the card slot 9 to achieve the installation and connection of the bottom plate 4 and the mold box 10. The above completes a series of operations of the tofu processing device and the processing method thereof. The contents not described in detail in this description belong to the prior art known to professional and technical personnel in this field.
