Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of yuba processing equipment, and particularly to a continuous yuba knotting device. Background Technique

[0002] Yuba, also known as bean curd skin, is a traditional bean product with a strong bean flavor and a unique texture that other bean products do not have. Yuba has a yellowish-white color, is shiny and translucent, and contains rich protein and various nutrients. The main function of knotting yuba is to help yuba better absorb water, making it more uniform during the soaking process, thereby ensuring the texture and taste of yuba. When the knotted yuba is soaked, each knot can fully absorb water, avoiding the uneven soaking of the whole piece of yuba, and making the yuba softer and less likely to break after being cooked.

This kind of knotting method has a low efficiency in knotting yuba, and the knotting of yuba takes a long time, which is likely to affect the subsequent processing of yuba, and it is inconvenient to use. Based on this, a continuous yuba knotting device that solves the above problems is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Such as Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, the continuous knotting device for yuba in this embodiment includes a support plate 1, which is used to provide good support for the operation plate 2 and the components above the operation plate 2. An operation plate 2 is installed at the upper end of the support plate 1, and a vertical plate 3 is installed at the upper end of the operation plate 2. The operation plate 2 and the vertical plate 3 are used to install and support various components. The support plate 1, the operation plate 2 and the vertical plate 3 form a cross shape. A dropping port 4 is arranged at the upper end of the operation plate 2, and the dropping port 4 is used to drop the yuba after knotting treatment, which is convenient for continuous processing of the yuba. At the front end of the vertical plate 3 above the dropping port 4, a feeding pipe 5 is installed, and the feeding pipe 5 is connected to the discharge port of the yuba production device. The yuba produced by the production device can be subjected to subsequent knotting treatment through the feeding pipe 5. At the front end of the vertical plate 3 on one side of the feeding pipe 5, a feeding gripper 6 is installed, and the feeding gripper 6 is used to clamp and position the yuba to avoid the yuba moving to a certain extent during the knotting operation of the yuba. At the front end of the vertical plate 3 on one side of the feeding gripper 6, a scissor assembly 7 is installed, and the scissor assembly 7 is used to cut the yuba to facilitate the knotting operation of the yuba of a specified length. Two stretching grippers 8 are movably installed on the vertical plate 3 on one side of the scissor assembly 7, and the stretching grippers 8 are used for the yuba to be wound around. A rotary gripper 9 is rotatably installed below the stretching grippers 8, and a winding gripper 10 is movably installed in front of the stretching grippers 8. After the feeding gripper 6 is closed, the yuba is clamped and positioned. The winding gripper 10 clamps the head of the yuba and rotates a certain angle with the stretching grippers 8 as the center. The scissor assembly 7 is closed to cut the yuba. The rotary gripper 9 clamps the tail of the yuba and rotates a certain angle to make the tail of the yuba enter the gap between the two stretching grippers 8. Then the stretching grippers 8 are closed to clamp the tail of the yuba, and at the same time the rotary gripper 9 is released, and the stretching grippers 8 retreat to complete the knotting action. Compared with manual knotting, the knotting efficiency of the yuba is effectively improved, and continuous knotting operation can be carried out on the yuba.

[0025] Specifically, two connecting blocks 11 are installed at the front end of the vertical plate 3. The feeding pipe 5 passes through the two connecting blocks 11 through through holes, and fixing bolts are installed at the front ends of the connecting blocks 11. One end of the fixing bolt extends to the surface of the feeding pipe 5. By loosening the fixing bolt, the position of the feeding pipe 5 on the vertical plate 3 can be adjusted.

[0026] Furthermore, a notch 12 is arranged at the front end of the vertical plate 3 on one side of the feeding pipe 5. The feeding gripper 6 and the scissor assembly 7 are both located inside the notch 12. The setting of the notch 12 facilitates the actions of the feeding gripper 6 and the scissor assembly 7, and provides space for the actions of the feeding gripper 6 and the scissor assembly 7. Moreover, the feeding gripper 6 and the scissor assembly 7 are both driven to act by cylinders. The feeding gripper 6 can clamp and position the yuba, and the scissor assembly 7 can cut the yuba under the drive of the cylinder.

[0027] Further, a notch two 13 is arranged at the front end of the vertical plate 3 on one side of the notch one 12. A driving cylinder one 14 is installed on one side of the rear part of the notch two 13. A connecting plate one 15 is installed at the output end of the driving cylinder one 14. The connecting plate one 15 is L-shaped. A fixing block 16 is installed at one end of the connecting plate one 15. A sliding groove 17 is arranged at the upper end of the fixing block 16. Two sliding blocks 18 are slidably installed inside the sliding groove 17. The stretching jaws 8 are respectively installed at the front ends of the two sliding blocks 18, and the two stretching jaws 8 are both located inside the notch two 13. The two stretching jaws 8 can approach and move away from each other under the drive of an external cylinder. When the two stretching jaws 8 move away from and approach each other, the sliding blocks 18 move inside the sliding groove 17, playing a guiding role in the movement of the stretching jaws 8. The dried bean curd sticks can be wound around the surfaces of the two stretching jaws 8 to realize the winding of the dried bean curd sticks. The driving cylinder one 14 can be telescoped. The driving cylinder one 14 can drive the stretching jaws 8 to move back and forth through the connecting plate one 15, facilitating the pulling of one end of the dried bean curd sticks.

[0028] Further, a driving cylinder two 19 is installed on one side of the lower end of the operation panel 2 in front of the dropping port 4. A connecting plate two 20 is installed at the output end of the driving cylinder two 19. A driving cylinder three 21 is installed at the upper end of the connecting plate two 20. An installation plate one 22 is installed at the output end of the driving cylinder three 21. A driving mechanism is installed on the installation plate one 22. The winding jaws 10 are installed at the rear end of the installation plate one 22, and the driving mechanism is connected to the winding jaws 10. By extending and shortening the driving cylinder two 19, the left and right positions of the winding jaws 10 can be adjusted. By extending and shortening the driving cylinder three 21, the front and rear positions of the winding jaws 10 can be driven to move, facilitating the clamping and movement of one end of the dried bean curd sticks by the winding jaws 10. And the winding jaws 10 are driven by a motor in the driving assembly, and the motor drives the winding jaws 10 to rotate and clamp.

[0029] Further, a driving cylinder four 23 is installed at the front end of the support plate 1 below the stretching jaws 8. A driving seat 24 is installed at the output end of the driving cylinder four 23. A rotating seat 25 is installed at the upper end of the driving seat 24. An installation plate two 26 is installed at the upper end of the rotating seat 25. The rotating jaws 9 are installed at one side of the upper end of the installation plate two 26. The driving cylinder four 23 can drive the driving seat 24 to rise and fall. A motor assembly is installed inside the driving seat 24. The motor assembly can drive the rotating seat 25 to rotate. The rotating seat 25 can drive the rotating jaws 9 to rotate through the installation plate two 26, realizing the adjustment of the position of one end of the dried bean curd sticks.

[0030] Further, a plurality of working state indicating operation buttons 27 are installed at the front end of the vertical plate 3 on one side of the rotating jaws 9. The colors of the working state indicating operation buttons 27 are respectively red, green and yellow, corresponding to start, emergency stop / reset, and feeding buttons respectively.

[0031] Further, a plurality of pneumatic valves 28 are installed at the rear end of the support plate 1, and a programmable controller 29 is installed at the rear end of the support plate 1 below the pneumatic valves 28. The pneumatic valves 28 are used to drive and control each cylinder. The programmable controller 29 can write programs, and the programmable controller 29 can control a plurality of pneumatic valves 28 to operate automatically.

[0032] Furthermore, the feeding pipe 5, the loading gripper 6, the scissor assembly 7 and the two stretching grippers 8 are on the same horizontal line. The yuba coming out of the feeding pipe 5 can pass through the loading gripper 6 and the scissor assembly 7, so that the loading gripper 6 can effectively grip the yuba and the scissor assembly 7 can effectively cut the yuba.

[0033] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the programmable controller 29 inputs a pre-programmed program. The programmable controller 29 controls the cylinders through the pneumatic valves 28. The yuba after production is discharged through the feeding pipe 5. The yuba passes through the loading gripper 6 and extends a certain length. Then the cylinder drives the loading gripper 6 to grip and position the yuba. Then the cylinder three 21 is driven to drive the winding gripper 10 to move forward. Then the winding gripper 10 closes to grip the head of the yuba. Then the cylinder two 19 is driven to drive the winding gripper 10 to move to the right. The winding gripper 10 drives the yuba to rotate and wind a certain angle with the stretching gripper 8 as the center. Then the scissor assembly 7 closes, and the scissor assembly 7 cuts the yuba. Then the rotary gripper 9 grips the tail end of the yuba. At the same time, the driving seat 24 drives the rotary gripper 9 on the rotating seat 25 to rotate a certain angle, so that the tail end of the yuba enters between the two stretching grippers 8. Then the cylinder controls the stretching grippers 8 to close, and the stretching grippers 8 grip the tail end of the yuba. At the same time, the cylinder controls the rotary gripper 9 to release the yuba. The cylinder one 14 is driven to drive the stretching grippers 8 to move backward to complete the knotting operation of the yuba. After one knotting operation is completed, each component returns to its original position, and repeating the above steps can perform the cyclic operation of yuba knotting.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
