Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tofu processing technology, specifically to an integrated intelligent pulping and forming device for bitter oak tofu. Background Technology

[0002] Bitter oak tofu is a traditional vegetarian dish from the mountainous areas of southern my country, with a history of thousands of years. It is made from the seeds of the bitter oak tree (a type of oak seed) of the Fagaceae family, and is refined through a series of ancient processes.

[0003] The tofu-making process begins with soaking soybeans, followed by grinding them in a grinding unit with water added. The resulting soy milk flows into a boiling cup. The soy milk is then boiled to sterilize it using electric heating, cooled, and a small amount of coagulant is added. A stirring plate agitates the soy milk, causing it to coagulate into tofu curd. Opening a valve allows the stirring plate to push the tofu curd into a forming box. Finally, gently pressing the forming box lid removes a small amount of water, resulting in tofu. However, existing integrated pulping and forming devices often result in significant surface dirt buildup during the long-term pressing process, requiring regular cleaning, which is quite inconvenient.

[0004] To address this issue, those skilled in the art have proposed an integrated intelligent pulping and forming device for bitter oak tofu, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated intelligent pulping and molding device for bitter oak tofu, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An integrated intelligent pulping and forming device for bitter oak tofu includes a base on which the device body is mounted for integrated pulping and forming of tofu. Two symmetrically distributed mounting frames are mounted on the base, each with a rotating shaft rotatably connected to it. A forming frame is mounted at the bottom of each rotating frame for pressing and forming the tofu. An electric push rod is mounted at the top of each rotating frame, with a movable plate mounted at the telescopic end of the push rod. An extrusion plate that mates with the forming frame is mounted at the bottom of the movable plate. The device also includes: A protective component is disposed on the movable plate and attached to the bottom surface of the extrusion plate for protecting the extrusion plate; A rotating assembly, which is mounted on a mounting bracket, is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the protective component includes storage bins installed on both sides of the top of the movable plate, a winding shaft rotatably disposed inside the storage bins, a winding roller mounted on the winding shaft, a protective film wound on the winding roller, and the protective film covering the bottom surface of the extrusion plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first motor is installed on the outer wall of the storage box, and the output shaft of the first motor is connected to the winding shaft.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotating assembly includes a drive box mounted on a mounting bracket, a worm gear installed at one end of the rotating shaft that passes through the drive box, and a worm gear meshing with the worm gear rotatably disposed inside the drive box.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second motor is installed on the outer wall of the drive box, and the output shaft of the second motor is connected to the worm gear.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a collection box located at the bottom of the rotating frame is installed on the base.

[0012] This invention has the following advantages: The invention realizes the tofu pulping and molding operations through the equipment body. During the tofu molding process, the equipment body transports the coagulated tofu pulp into the molding frame. Then, by activating the electric push rod, the electric push rod extends and drives the movable plate to descend, thereby allowing the movable plate to drive the extrusion plate to move down and extrude the tofu pulp in the molding frame. The extruded water is discharged through the mesh of the molding frame. After extrusion, the drive component drives the rotating shaft to rotate, causing the rotating frame to flip. At this time, the electric push rod returns to its original position and retracts, and the movable plate gradually moves away from the molding frame. The tofu in the molding frame follows the extrusion plate down and separates from the molding frame, thus achieving demolding. Furthermore, during the extrusion molding process, the surface of the extrusion plate is covered with a protective film, which protects the extrusion plate. When the protective film becomes heavily soiled, the protection component directly replaces the protective film, ensuring that the extrusion plate remains clean and thus guaranteeing the quality of the pressed tofu.

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-3 An integrated intelligent pulping and forming device for bitter oak tofu includes a base 1, on which a device body 2 is mounted for integrated pulping and forming of tofu. The device body 2 is an existing mature integrated device, including several processing modules required for tofu forming, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Two symmetrically distributed mounting frames 3 are mounted on the base 1. A rotating shaft 4 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 3, and the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to a rotating frame 5. A forming frame 6 is mounted at the bottom of the rotating frame 5 for pressing and forming the tofu. An electric push rod 7 is mounted at the top of the rotating frame 5. A movable plate 8 is mounted at the telescopic end of the electric push rod 7. An extrusion plate 9 that cooperates with the forming frame 6 is mounted at the bottom of the movable plate 8. The device also includes: A protective component is disposed on the movable plate 8 and attached to the bottom surface of the extrusion plate 9 to protect the extrusion plate 9. A rotating assembly is mounted on the mounting bracket 3 and is used to drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate.

[0019] In one embodiment, the protective component includes storage bins 11 installed on both sides of the top of the movable plate 8. A winding shaft 12 is rotatably disposed inside the storage bins 11. A winding roller 13 is installed on the winding shaft 12. A protective film 10 is wound on the winding roller 13 and covers the bottom surface of the extrusion plate 9.

[0020] The outer wall of the storage box 11 is equipped with a first motor 14, and the output shaft of the first motor 14 is connected to the winding shaft 12.

[0021] The first motor 14 on the two storage bins 11 is synchronously driven by the controller, so that the winding shaft 12 in the two storage bins 11 rotates synchronously, and the protective film 10 between the two storage bins 11 is attached to the extrusion plate 9, thereby protecting the extrusion plate 9. When the protective film 10 becomes dirty due to the formation of tofu, the first motor 14 can be started, and the first motor 14 drives the winding shaft 12 to rotate, so that one winding roller 13 releases a new protective film 10, while the other winding roller 13 rolls up the dirty protective film 10, thereby keeping the protective film 10 covering the surface of the extrusion plate 9 clean.

[0022] Furthermore, the two storage bins 11 are detachably mounted on the movable plate 8, and can be replaced modularly after the protective film 10 is used up.

[0023] In one embodiment, the rotating assembly includes a drive housing 15 mounted on a mounting bracket 3, a worm gear 16 is mounted on one end of a rotating shaft 4 that passes through the drive housing 15, and a worm 17 that meshes with the worm gear 16 is rotatably disposed inside the drive housing 15.

[0024] A second motor 18 is installed on the outer wall of the drive box 15, and the output shaft of the second motor 18 is connected to the worm gear 17.

[0025] When it is necessary to drive the rotating frame 5 to flip to demold the tofu, the second motor 18 is started. The second motor 18 drives the worm 17 to rotate, and the worm 17 will drive the worm wheel 16 to rotate through meshing, thereby driving the rotating shaft 4 to rotate synchronously, so that the rotating frame 5 rotates and the rotating frame 5 is flipped. The worm wheel 16 and the worm 17 can also achieve self-locking to prevent the rotating shaft 4 from moving abnormally.

[0026] In one embodiment, a collection box 19 located at the bottom of the rotating frame 5 is installed on the base 1 for collecting the squeezed water.

[0027] This invention realizes the tofu pulping and molding operations through the equipment body 2. During the tofu molding process, the equipment body 2 transports the coagulated tofu pulp into the molding frame 6. Then, by activating the electric push rod 7, the electric push rod 7 extends and drives the movable plate 8 to descend, thereby allowing the movable plate 8 to drive the extrusion plate 9 to move down and extrude the tofu pulp in the molding frame 6. The extruded water is discharged through the mesh of the molding frame 6. After extrusion, the drive component drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, causing the rotating frame 5 to flip. At this time, the electric push rod 7 returns to its original position and retracts. The movable plate 8 gradually moves away from the molding frame 6, and the tofu in the molding frame 6 descends with the extrusion plate 9 and separates from the molding frame 6, thereby achieving demolding. During the extrusion molding process, the surface of the extrusion plate 9 is covered with a protective film 10, which protects the extrusion plate 9. When the surface of the protective film 10 becomes heavily dirty, the protection component directly replaces the protective film 10, so that the extrusion plate 9 can always be kept clean, thereby ensuring the quality of the pressed tofu.

[0028] The power supply and control of the electrical equipment in this application are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here. The control of each component can be achieved by using the PLC controller disclosed in the prior art, and the model and circuit connection of each component are not specifically limited.

[0029] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention.
