[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bean product processing, in particular to a device for removing acid from slurry-coated tofu. Background Art

[0002] Patinated tofu is made of gypsum tofu, which originated and is popular in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other regions in southwest China. The production process of patinated tofu includes fermentation. The existing fermentation device includes an insulation box, a fermentation box arranged in the insulation box, the top of the fermentation box is open and a cover is arranged, a fermentation liquid box arranged on the side of the fermentation box, connected with the fermentation box, and the upper end surface is connected with a feed pipe, a placement tray arranged in the fermentation box, a heating pipe arranged at the bottom of the insulation box, the fermentation box is placed above the heating pipe, a discharge pipe arranged on the side of the fermentation liquid tank far from the fermentation box, connected with the bottom of the fermentation box, a valve installed at the discharge pipe, the cover plate is opened, the tofu to be soaked is placed on the placement tray, the cover plate is covered, the soaking liquid enters the fermentation liquid tank through the feed pipe, and slowly enters the soaking box to submerge the tofu. In winter, the required temperature can be provided for tofu soaking, and the closed soaking can avoid pollution from external pollution sources.

[0003] The existing fermentation device has the following problems: after the fermentation of the patinated tofu, the fermentation liquid will become acidic, and the patinated tofu needs to be deacidified to avoid affecting the taste.

[0004] Based on the above situation, a device for removing acid from slurry-coated tofu is urgently needed to solve the problem that the acidic fermentation liquid will affect the taste. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the problem that the acidic fermentation liquid will affect the taste of the tofu after fermentation, because the tofu is acidic after fermentation.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A device for removing acid from coated tofu, comprising:

[0008] A cleaning tank is used to remove acid from the coated tofu;

[0009] A carrying rack, arranged in the cleaning tank and used for carrying the coated tofu;

[0010] A plurality of separation units are installed on the supporting frame and are used to separate the coated tofu.

[0011] In the existing fermentation device, the fermentation liquid of the patinated tofu will become acidic after fermentation, and the patinated tofu needs to be drained to avoid affecting the taste. In the present solution, the patinated tofu is separated into multiple layers by a plurality of the separation units, and the supporting frame is operated to immerse the patinated tofu in a cleaning tank to clean the acidic fermentation agent, thereby avoiding surface scratches caused by mutual squeezing of the patinated tofu, increasing the contact area between the cleaning liquid and the patinated tofu, achieving acid drainage, and solving the problem that the acidic fermentation liquid will affect the taste.

[0012] Furthermore, the present solution does not limit the specific structure of the separation unit. One feasible solution is: the separation unit includes a roller installed on a supporting frame and an annular belt is installed on the roller. When this solution is adopted, the glazed tofu is transported to the supporting frame at intervals through the annular belt, so as to further avoid contact and squeezing between the glazed tofu.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the draining of the cleaning liquid, one feasible solution is that a plurality of drain holes are formed on the annular belt. When this solution is adopted, after the supporting frame is lifted, the cleaning liquid can be drained through the drain holes.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to increase the fluidity of the cleaning liquid, one feasible solution is that a water circulation system is installed on the cleaning tank. When this solution is adopted, the fluidity of the cleaning liquid can be increased through the water circulation system, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0015] Furthermore, the present solution does not limit the specific structure of the water circulation system. One feasible solution is: the water circulation system includes a conduit connected to the cleaning tank and the conduit is connected to a peristaltic pump. When this solution is adopted, the cleaning liquid is pumped by the peristaltic pump to realize water circulation. Since the peristaltic pump is isolated from the cleaning liquid, contamination of the cleaning liquid can be avoided.

[0016] Furthermore, the present solution does not limit the supporting method of the carrier rack. One feasible solution is that a hanging ear that cooperates with the cleaning tank is formed on the carrier rack. When this solution is adopted, the carrier rack is placed in the cleaning tank through the hanging ear, and the carrier rack can be lifted conveniently and quickly by operating the hanging ear.

[0017] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0018] 1. The patinated tofu is divided into multiple layers by a plurality of the separation units, and the carrier is operated to immerse the patinated tofu into a cleaning tank to clean the acidic fermentation agent, thereby avoiding the patinated tofu from being squeezed against each other to cause surface scratches, increasing the contact area between the cleaning liquid and the patinated tofu, achieving acid discharge, and solving the problem that the acidic fermentation liquid affects the taste;

[0019] Second, since the separation unit includes a roller mounted on the support frame and an annular belt is mounted on the roller, the mulched tofu is transported to the support frame in intervals by the annular belt, thereby further preventing the mulched tofu from contacting and squeezing each other;

[0020] Third, since the cleaning tank is equipped with a water circulation system, the fluidity of the cleaning liquid can be increased through the water circulation system, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] The features and performance of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0038] Embodiment 1:

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , a device for removing acid from coated tofu, comprising:

[0040] Cleaning tank 1, used for draining acid from the slurry-coated tofu;

[0041] A carrying rack 2 is disposed in the cleaning tank 1 and is used for carrying the coated tofu;

[0042] A plurality of partition units 3 are installed on the supporting frame 2 and are used to separate the coated tofu.

[0043] In the existing fermentation device, the fermentation liquid of the patinated tofu will become acidic after fermentation, and the patinated tofu needs to be drained to avoid affecting the taste. In this solution, the patinated tofu is divided into multiple layers by a plurality of partition units 3, and the carrier frame 2 is operated to immerse the patinated tofu in the cleaning tank 1 to clean the acidic fermentation agent, thereby avoiding the patinated tofu from being squeezed against each other and causing surface scratches, increasing the contact area between the cleaning liquid and the patinated tofu, achieving acid drainage, and solving the problem that the acidic fermentation liquid will affect the taste.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 This solution does not limit the specific structure of the separation unit 3. One feasible solution is: the separation unit 3 includes a roller 31 installed on the support frame 2 and an annular belt 32 is installed on the roller 31. When this solution is adopted, the mulched tofu is transported to the support frame 2 at intervals through the annular belt 32, so as to further avoid contact and squeezing between the mulched tofu.

[0045] In order to drain the cleaning liquid conveniently, one feasible solution is that a plurality of drain holes 33 are formed on the annular belt 32 . When this solution is adopted, after the supporting frame 2 is lifted, the cleaning liquid can be drained through the drain holes 33 .

[0046] Reference Figure 1 In order to increase the fluidity of the cleaning liquid, one feasible solution is: a water circulation system 4 is installed on the cleaning tank 1. When this solution is adopted, the fluidity of the cleaning liquid can be increased through the water circulation system 4, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 This solution does not limit the specific structure of the water circulation system 4. One feasible solution is: the water circulation system 4 includes a conduit 41 connected to the cleaning tank 1, and the conduit 41 is connected to a peristaltic pump 42. When this solution is adopted, the cleaning liquid is pumped by the peristaltic pump 42 to realize water circulation. Since the peristaltic pump 42 is isolated from the cleaning liquid, contamination of the cleaning liquid can be avoided.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 This solution does not limit the supporting method of the carrier 2. One feasible solution is: a hanging ear 21 that cooperates with the cleaning tank 1 is formed on the carrier 2. When this solution is adopted, the carrier 2 is placed in the cleaning tank 1 through the hanging ear 21, and the carrier 2 can be lifted conveniently and quickly by operating the hanging ear 21.

[0049] This solution does not limit the driving method of the endless belt 32 . One feasible solution is that a handle 311 is installed on the roller 31 . When this solution is adopted, the endless belt 32 is rotated by rotating the handle 311 .

[0050] Embodiment 2:

[0051] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to realize the automatic loading and unloading of patinated tofu, the handle 311 in the first embodiment is replaced by a driven wheel 312, and a loading conveyor belt 5 and a unloading conveyor belt 6 are arranged above the cleaning tank 1. The loading conveyor belt 5 is equipped with a fixed gear 51 that rotates synchronously with the loading conveyor belt 5 and an intermediate wheel 52 that meshes with the fixed gear 51. A telescopic rod 11 is installed on the side wall of the cleaning tank 1, and the telescopic rod 11 is connected to the hanging ear 21. When this scheme is adopted, the supporting frame 2 is driven by the telescopic rod 11 to reciprocate in the vertical direction to drive each driven wheel 312 to mesh with the intermediate wheel 52 one by one. When meshing, the driven wheel 312 and the fixed gear 51 rotate synchronously in the same direction, so that the corresponding annular belt 32 rotates synchronously with the loading conveyor belt 5, thereby realizing the loading of patinated tofu. During the loading process, the patinated tofu that has been cleaned in the previous batch is unloaded simultaneously through the unloading conveyor belt 6, thereby realizing the automatic loading and unloading of patinated tofu.

[0052] Embodiment three:

[0053] Reference Figure 7 In order to realize the automatic loading and unloading of the coated tofu, the carrier frame 2 in the first embodiment is connected to a crane 7, and the crane 7 can realize the continuous transportation of multiple carrier frames 2.

[0054] How this solution works:

[0055] After the carrier 2 is lifted, the annular belt 32 is rotated by the handle 311 or the driven wheel 312 to transport the battered tofu into the carrier 2 at intervals, and then the carrier 2 is immersed in the cleaning tank 1, and the peristaltic pump 42 cooperates with the conduit 41 to realize the circulation of the cleaning liquid to drain the acid from the battered tofu. After the acid drainage is completed, the carrier 2 is lifted and the battered tofu is unloaded, and this reciprocating process is repeated.

[0056] In order to solve the problem that the acidic fermentation liquid affects the taste, in the present solution, the patinated tofu is separated into multiple layers by a plurality of partition units 3, and the carrier frame 2 is operated to immerse the patinated tofu into the cleaning tank 1 to clean the acidic fermentation agent, thereby avoiding the patinated tofu from being squeezed against each other and causing surface scratches, increasing the contact area between the cleaning liquid and the patinated tofu, achieving acid discharge, and solving the problem that the acidic fermentation liquid affects the taste.

[0057] In order to further prevent the clad tofu from contacting and squeezing each other, in the present solution, since the separation unit 3 includes a roller 31 installed on the supporting frame 2 and an annular belt 32 is installed on the roller 31, the clad tofu is transported to the supporting frame 2 at intervals through the annular belt 32, further preventing the clad tofu from contacting and squeezing each other.

[0058] In order to improve the cleaning efficiency, in this solution, since a water circulation system 4 is installed on the cleaning tank 1, the fluidity of the cleaning liquid can be increased through the water circulation system 4, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0059] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
