For soybeans, proper soaking can make them fully absorb water and expand, soften the seed coat, activate the internal enzyme activity, and facilitate the extraction of protein and starch in the subsequent soy milk grinding process.

[0003] Some soaking devices cannot stir the soaked soybeans. During the static soaking process of soybeans, due to the action of gravity, the soybeans at the bottom may accumulate too densely, resulting in difficult penetration of water to the center of the soybean grains, while the soybeans on the upper layer may absorb too much water, causing uneven soaking. This not only affects the production efficiency but also may lead to over-soaking, causing some soybeans to start fermenting, and thus affecting the product quality. Content of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a raw material soaking device for soy product processing, comprising a soaking barrel 1. The soaking barrel 1 includes a barrel body 101. A barrel cover 102 is connected to the top of the barrel body 101. A mixing mechanism 2 is provided inside the barrel body 101. The mixing mechanism 2 extends above the barrel cover 102 and is rotatably connected thereto. A power mechanism 3 for driving the mixing mechanism 2 to rotate is fixedly connected to the top of the barrel cover 102:

[0023] The provided barrel body 101 is usually made of stainless steel to ensure the safety and durability of food. The interior of the barrel body 101 has a large space, mainly used to hold soybeans or other bean raw materials and allow them to fully absorb water therein. The barrel cover 102 prevents the water from evaporating too quickly or foreign objects from falling in during the soaking process, and also facilitates the operator to control the soaking environment.

[0024] Furthermore, the mixing mechanism 2 includes a mixing sleeve 201. A plurality of sliding grooves 202 are equidistantly arranged around the mixing sleeve 201. A sliding rod 203 is slidably connected inside the mixing sleeve 201. The top of the sliding rod 203 extends above the mixing sleeve 201 and is fixedly connected with a contact head 204. A spring 205 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the inner wall of the mixing sleeve 201 and the bottom of the sliding rod 203. A plurality of mixing rods 206 are fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod 203, and the mixing rods 206 are slidably connected with the sliding grooves 202.

[0025] When the soybeans are soaked inside the barrel body 101, the operator can start the power mechanism 3 to drive the mixing sleeve 201 to rotate. When the mixing sleeve 201 rotates, it can fully mix the soybeans and water. A plurality of mixing rods 206 are fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod 203. The mixing rods 206 slide up and down in the sliding grooves 202 along with the sliding rod 203. During the process of the mixing rods 206 sliding in the sliding grooves 202, they will dynamically stir the soybeans soaked in the barrel body 101 to ensure full contact and mixing between the soybean grains and between the soybean grains and water, thereby realizing uniform soaking. This device enables the mixing mechanism 2 not only to perform overall rotational stirring during operation, but also to generate vertical vibration and impact, further improving the fluidity of the raw materials during the soaking process and ensuring the uniformity and efficiency of soybean soaking.

[0026] Furthermore, a feeding pipe 103 is fixedly connected to the top of the barrel cover 102, a drain pipe 104 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the barrel body 101, and a fixed support 105 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the barrel body 101.

[0027] The main function of the feeding pipe 103 is to facilitate the addition of soybeans or other raw materials to be soaked into the barrel body 101, and at the same time, it can prevent water or raw materials from splashing out during the feeding process and keep the working environment clean. The drain pipe 104 is used to drain the soaking water after the soaking is completed. The fixed support 105 ensures that the device will not tip over or move when carrying a full load of raw materials and liquid.

[0028] Furthermore, a plurality of electric push rods 106 are fixedly connected to the surface of the barrel body 101. The movable ends of the electric push rods 106 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the barrel cover 102, and a water pump 107 is fixedly connected to one side of the barrel body 101.

[0029] The function of the electric push rod 106 is to realize the automatic opening and closing of the bucket cover 102 through electric drive. The advantage of this is that it can achieve automatic control of the soaking process. For example, before soaking, the bucket cover 102 is automatically closed to maintain the airtight and constant conditions of the soaking environment. After soaking, the bucket cover 102 is automatically opened for the next process, such as liquid drainage, cleaning, etc., greatly improving the processing efficiency and hygiene level. The setting of the water pump 107 is mainly used to control the circulating flow of water during the soaking process or to perform timely water change operations.

[0030] Furthermore, an immersion basket 108 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bucket cover 102, and an electric door 109 is movably connected to the bottom of the immersion basket 108.

[0031] The provided immersion basket 108 is used to hold the soy product raw materials to be soaked. The advantages of the design of the immersion basket 108 are that it can not only ensure that the bean raw materials are fully in contact with water during the soaking process, but also facilitate the loading and unloading of materials. At the same time, the mesh design is conducive to the flow of water and improves the soaking efficiency. The electric door 109 can be switched on and off in a timely manner according to the needs of the soaking process to achieve staged soaking or control the contact degree between the soaking liquid and the bean grains, further optimizing the soaking effect.

[0032] Furthermore, the power mechanism 3 includes a toothed ring 301. A toothed ring 301 is fixedly sleeved on the top of the mixing sleeve 201. One side of the top of the toothed ring 301 is meshed with a bevel gear 302. The inner wall of the bevel gear 302 is fixedly connected with a first rotating shaft 303. One end of the first rotating shaft 303 is fixedly connected with a power motor 304.

[0033] When the power motor 304 is started, the first rotating shaft 303 rotates accordingly, driving the meshed bevel gear 302 to rotate. Due to the meshing relationship between the bevel gear 302 and the toothed ring 301, the toothed ring 301 will also rotate synchronously. The toothed ring 301 is fixed to the top of the mixing sleeve 201, which means that the mixing sleeve 201 will rotate together with the toothed ring 301, thereby driving the slide bar 203 and the mixing rod 206 inside the mixing sleeve 201 to rotate in a circular motion around the center of the barrel 101. Such a design can ensure that the raw materials soaked in the barrel 101 are effectively stirred, accelerating the process of raw material water absorption and chemical reactions and improving the soaking efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, a mounting plate 305 is fixedly connected to one side of the power motor 304. The bottom of the mounting plate 305 is fixedly connected to the top of the bucket cover 102. A first gear 306 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the first rotating shaft 303.

[0035] Further, a second gear 307 is meshed and connected to the top of the first gear 306. A second rotating shaft 308 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second gear 307. One end of the second rotating shaft 308 is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate 305, and the other end of the second rotating shaft 308 is fixedly connected to a cam 309. A contact head 204 is slidably connected to the bottom of the cam 309.

[0036] The first gear 306 sleeved on the surface of the first rotating shaft 303 meshes with the second gear 307 to form a two-stage transmission structure. When the power motor 304 drives the first rotating shaft 303 to rotate, the first gear 306 also rotates accordingly. The second gear 307 is driven to rotate through meshing. A second rotating shaft 308 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second gear 307, and the other end of the second rotating shaft 308 is fixedly connected to a cam 309. A contact head 204 is slidably connected to the bottom of the cam 309, thereby indirectly controlling the up-and-down sliding of the mixing rod 206. In this way, not only can the overall rotation of the mixing sleeve 201 be realized to stir the raw materials, but also the reciprocating motion of the cam 309 can cause the mixing rod 206 to generate vertical vibration or impact, strengthening the mixing effect of the raw materials during the soaking process and ensuring uniform soaking.

[0037] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
