Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, and in particular to a dried bean curd cutting device. Background Art

[0002] Dried bean curd is a traditional soy product. Dried bean curd is the abbreviation of dried tofu. It is made from soybeans as the main raw material. Dried bean curd contains rich protein, and its content can reach about 15-20%. These proteins are essential nutrients for the human body. They can provide the human body with a variety of amino acids and help the repair and growth of human tissues. Dried bean curd also contains minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Calcium is an important element for maintaining bone and tooth health. Eating dried bean curd in moderation can help prevent osteoporosis. Phosphorus is involved in many physiological processes such as energy metabolism in the human body. Iron is a key component for synthesizing hemoglobin and has a certain effect on preventing iron deficiency anemia. In the production process of dried bean curd, in order to ensure palatability, the dried bean curd needs to be cut into cubes for easy eating.

[0003] The invention with application number 202021593144.X discloses a novel tofu cutting device. By setting a pressing plate, a spring, a sliding rod, and a limiting block, it is ensured that the tofu will not move with the cutting of the knife during the cutting process, making it easier to block the tofu. By setting a servo motor located at the center, the knife can be switched to a cross-cutting or longitudinal cutting state during the processing process. The device can directly block the tofu, which is simple and efficient. Secondly, the device adds universal wheels to make the device easy to move and more flexible.

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned new type of dried tofu cutting equipment, after the cutter is lifted and lowered by the cylinder for cutting, the dried tofu is easily adhered to the cutter, which affects the cutting effect of the dried tofu. When the above-mentioned new type of dried tofu cutting equipment is used for cutting, the dried tofu needs to be manually placed on a support plate and then pushed into the corresponding position under the cutter for cutting. After the cutting is completed, the support plate is taken out and the adhered dried tofu debris is cleaned up. Moreover, only one layer of dried tofu can be cut into pieces at a time, which makes the efficiency of the dried tofu cutting process low. Therefore, the present invention proposes a dried tofu cutting device to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0022] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with examples. The examples are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] Cutting tofu into pieces is an important step in the processing or cooking of tofu. Be careful when manually operating the knife to cut pieces to avoid scratching your fingers. When using semi-automatic and fully automatic equipment, strictly follow the equipment's operating procedures and do not touch the running equipment parts at will. When cutting, you need to manually feed the tofu and spread it flat. After cutting, collect and remove the tofu pieces and clean up the corners and debris, which makes the cutting process less efficient.

[0024] Based on this, this embodiment provides a tofu cutting device, according to Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the equipment includes a processing table 1, a through slot 2, a sliding cleaning mechanism, a crushed material collecting mechanism and a material pressing and cutting mechanism. A through slot 2 is provided in the middle of the processing table 1. The sliding cleaning mechanism includes a slide rail 3, a cutting frame 4, a slider 5, a first bracket 6, an air pump 7, an air nozzle 8 and a module replacement mechanism. A through slot 2 is provided in the middle of the processing table 1. The slide rail 3 is symmetrically fixed in the through slot 2. The cutting frame 4 is slidably provided in the through slot 2. The slider 5 is symmetrically fixed in the cutting frame 4. The slider 5 is slidably matched with the slide rail 3. A first bracket 6 is fixed on one side of the processing table 1. An air pump 7 is provided on one side below the processing table 1, and an air nozzle 8 is arranged and fixed on the upper part of the first bracket 6. The air nozzle 8 is connected to the air pump 7 through a pipeline. During the slicing process, the cutting frame 4 and the slider 5 are pulled along the slide rail 3 to slide to one side of the through groove 2, and then the air pump 7 is started and blows out gas through the air nozzle 8 to blow off the dried bean curd crumbs remaining on the grid blade 12, effectively preventing the dried bean curd crumbs from affecting the slicing effect. A module replacement mechanism is provided on the cutting frame 4, a debris collection mechanism is provided at the lower part of one side of the through groove 2, and a material pressing and slicing mechanism is provided at the upper part of the other side of the through groove 2.

[0025] The cutting frame and the slider slide horizontally along the slide rail to achieve rapid feeding, and the air pump supplies air and blows out the air nozzle to quickly clean the corner debris on the grid blade, which solves the problem of manual cleaning of corner debris during the cutting process and effectively improves the cutting efficiency.

[0026] The module replacement mechanism includes a replacement frame 9, a limiting groove 10, a limiting strip 11 and a grid blade 12. The replacement frame 9 is placed on the cutting frame 4. The limiting groove 10 is arranged around the cutting frame 4. The limiting strip 11 is fixed around the bottom of the replacement frame 9. The grid blades 12 are staggered and fixed in the replacement frame 9. The limiting groove 10 and the limiting strip 11 are correspondingly limited in the upper and lower positions. The cutting edge of the grid blade 12 faces upward. When cutting, the grid blade 12 is used to cut the dried tofu into blocks. When the size of the dried tofu blocks needs to be adjusted, the replacement frame 9 together with the grid blade 12 is removed from the cutting frame 4, and the replacement frame 9 with different densities of the grid blades 12 is replaced as needed. When placed, the limiting strip 11 is inserted into the limiting groove 10 to prevent the grid blade 12 from being displaced during cutting.

[0027] The scrap collection mechanism includes a scrap bin 13, a guide bar 14, a scrap box 15, a guide groove 16 and a first handle 17. The scrap bin 13 is fixedly provided at the lower side of the through groove 2. The scrap bin 13 is open at the top and front side and has a guide bar 14 symmetrically fixed inside. A scrap box 15 is slidably provided in the scrap bin 13. Guide grooves 16 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the scrap box 15. The guide grooves 16 and the guide bar 14 slide in correspondence with each other. A first handle 17 is symmetrically fixed on the front side of the scrap box 15. When the air nozzle 8 blows out compressed air to clean the dried tofu scraps attached to the grid blade 12, the scraps fall into the scrap bin 13 with the air flow and are collected by the scrap box 15. After the dicing process is completed, the first handle 17 is pulled along the guide bar 14 to pull out the scrap box 15 for centralized cleaning.

[0028] The material pressing and cutting mechanism includes a second bracket 18, a telescopic cylinder 19, a pressing plate 20, a guide sleeve 21, a guide slide 22 and a material receiving mechanism. The second bracket 18 is fixedly provided on the other side of the processing table 1. The telescopic cylinder 19 is fixedly provided in the middle of the second bracket 18. The pressing plate 20 is fixedly provided at the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 19. The guide sleeve 21 is symmetrically fixedly provided on the second bracket 18. The guide slides 22 are symmetrically fixedly provided on both sides of the pressing plate 20. A material receiving mechanism is provided at the lower part of the other side of the through groove 2. The upper end of the guide slide 22 slides through the guide sleeve 21. The pressing plate 20 corresponds to the size of the cutting frame 4. When cutting, the dried tofu is spread flat on the mesh blade 12 and the cutting frame 4 is pushed to slide along the slide rail 3 to the bottom of the pressing plate 20. Then the telescopic cylinder 19 extends to push the pressing plate 20 down to press the dried tofu toward the mesh blade 12. The dried tofu is cut into pieces by the mutual pressure. The pressing plate 20 descends and drives the guide slide bar 22 to slide along the guide sleeve 21 to keep the pressing plate 20 stable when pressed down. At the same time, the pressing plate 20 is pressed down to cooperate with the mesh blade 12 to facilitate the simultaneous cutting of multiple layers of dried tofu, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of cutting dried tofu.

[0029] The material receiving mechanism includes a material receiving hopper 23, a material receiving box 24, a roller 25 and a second handle 26. A material receiving hopper 23 is fixedly provided at the lower part of the other side of the through groove 2, a material receiving box 24 is provided at the lower part of the other side of the processing table 1, rollers 25 are fixedly provided at the four corners of the bottom of the material receiving box 24, and a second handle 26 is fixedly provided at the front side of the material receiving box 24. The material receiving hopper 23 corresponds to the upper and lower positions of the pressing plate 20, and the material receiving box 24 corresponds to the upper and lower positions of the material receiving hopper 23. When the slicing process is performed, the material receiving box 24 is pushed to move to the lower part of the material receiving hopper 23 by the second handle 26 and the roller 25. When the dried tofu is cut into blocks under the interaction of the pressing plate 20 and the mesh blade 12, it falls and falls into the material receiving box 24 under the guidance of the material receiving hopper 23 to realize the slicing process of the dried tofu.

[0030] A third bracket is fixedly provided on one side of the processing table, and a storage box is fixedly provided under the third bracket. Before cutting into pieces, the whole piece of dried tofu raw material is stacked in the storage box, a feeding trough is opened at the bottom of the other side of the storage box, and a feeding roller is rotatably provided above the feeding trough, a motor is fixedly provided in front of the other side of the storage box, and the output end of the motor is connected to the feeding roller drive, and a pressure sensor is fixedly provided on the other side of the bottom of the storage box, and the pressure sensor corresponds to the height position of the cutting frame. When feeding, the cutting frame slides and contacts the pressure sensor, and the motor starts to drive the feeding roller to rotate and frictionally drive the dried tofu to move from the feeding trough to the grid blade, thereby realizing automatic feeding.

[0031] When the tofu dicing equipment is dicing, a motor drives the feeding roller to rotate and move the tofu out of the feeding trough, and the multiple layers of tofu are flattened and placed on the cutting frame to contact the mesh blade. After feeding, the cutting frame is pushed to drive the slider to slide along the slide rail to the other side under the pressing plate, and the telescopic cylinder is extended to drive the pressing plate to descend to contact the tofu and apply downward pressure, so that the mesh blade cuts the tofu into blocks. The cut tofu automatically falls into the receiving box along the receiving hopper for collection and standby use. After dicing is completed, the telescopic cylinder retracts to drive the pressing plate to rise, and then pulls the cutting frame to slide back to the initial position. At this time, the air pump is started to deliver compressed air to be sprayed from the air nozzle to blow off the corner debris remaining on the mesh blade, so that the corner debris freely falls into the debris bin and is collected by the debris box.
