[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application and the above drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application or the above drawings are used to distinguish different objects and not to describe a specific order.

[0032] Reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0033] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a dried bean curd soaking and fishing mechanism, as Figures 1 - 7 shown, the dried bean curd soaking and fishing mechanism includes:

[0034] A soaking pool 100, the soaking pool 100 includes an outer pool wall 130 and a soaking area 110 located in the central area of the outer pool wall 130, the soaking area 110 is an inner depression forming a groove for storing liquid, and a guiding slope 120 is provided between the soaking area 110 and the outer pool wall 130 for connection;

[0035] The inner wall of the outer pool wall 130 and the inner wall of the soaking area 110 are inclinedly connected by a guiding slope 120. The cross-sectional shape of the interior of the soaking pool 100 is the same as the cross-sectional structure of the conical sinkhole. Here, the guiding slope 120 serves as a guiding inclined plane to provide support.

[0036] A fishing component 200, the fishing component 200 includes a connecting plate 210 and a fishing frame hinged to the connecting plate 210. The end face of the outer pool wall 130 forms an annular traction guide rail by a synchronous belt drive mechanism 300 in the prior art. The connecting plate 210 is connected to the synchronous belt drive mechanism 300. Under the traction of the synchronous belt drive mechanism 300, the fishing component 200 performs a reciprocating orbital motion along the outer pool wall 130. A plurality of groups of fishing components 200 are arranged on the synchronous belt drive mechanism 300. The fishing frame of the fishing component 200 extends into the interior of the soaking pool 100, and the dried tofu to be processed is stored in the fishing frame. The synchronous belt drive mechanism 300 pulls the fishing component 200 to perform an annular orbital motion.

[0037] A guiding block 500 is further provided on the guiding slope 120 here. Usually, the fishing frame will deflect and extend into the interior of the soaking pool 100 under its own weight. When the synchronous belt drive mechanism 300 pulls the fishing component 200 to reach near the guiding block 500, the guiding block 500 will generate a lifting force on the fishing frame, forcing the fishing frame to deflect and leave the interior of the soaking pool 100. At this time, the staff observes and operates the dried tofu on the fishing frame. For the dried tofu that is not thoroughly soaked, it is continued to be soaked. After the soaking work is completed, the dried tofu is removed from the fishing frame and enters the subsequent processing link.

[0038] This application mainly relies on the guiding slope 120 to construct an inclined slope surface, and uses the cooperation between the slope surface and the guiding block 500 to deflect the fishing component 200 to complete the transformation between the soaking state and the non-soaking state. Through intermittent operation, it meets the observation and operation requirements of the dried tofu in the soaking link, reduces the need for manual fishing, and improves the work efficiency during the soaking process.

[0039] As a preferred implementation manner in this embodiment, the fishing frame includes an inclined rod 230 and a bracket 240; a hinge seat 220 is provided on the connecting plate 210, the inclined rod 230 is hingedly connected to the hinge seat 220, and the bracket 240 is arranged at one end of the inclined rod 230 away from the hinge seat 220.

[0040] The synchronous belt drive mechanism 300 mainly consists of a synchronous belt 310, a guide plate 320, a guide rail 330, and auxiliary drive mechanisms such as synchronous pulleys. The synchronous belt drive mechanism 300 here is an existing technology device integrated on the end face of the outer pool wall 130. The guide plate 320 is connected to the synchronous belt 310. The guide plate 320 slides on the guide rail 330. The connecting plate 210 is connected to the guide plate 320. The synchronous belt 310 is driven by the synchronous pulley and the auxiliary drive mechanism to rotate. The synchronous belt 310 will ultimately pull the fishing component 200 to rotate along a preset track;

[0041] The bracket 240 is a square frame. A storage basket 400 is arranged inside the bracket 240. The storage basket 400 includes an upper frame 410 and a filter screen surface 420. The filter screen surface 420 is connected below the upper frame 410. The filter screen surface 420 serves as the storage area for dried tofu. The soaking liquid can enter the inside of the filter screen surface 420 through the pores on the filter screen surface 420 to soak the dried tofu. Support plates 430 are provided on the upper frame 410. The storage basket 400 is placed on the bracket 240 through the support plates 430;

[0042] As a preferred implementation method in this embodiment, the guiding block 500 includes a flat end block 510 and an arc end block 520. The arc end block 520 is arranged on both sides of the flat end block 510. The flat end block 510 is connected to the inclined surface of the guiding slope 120 through the arc surface of the arc end block 520. When the fishing component 200 reaches near the guiding block 500, the inclined rod 230 will first reach the arc end block 520 and advance along the arc surface structure of the arc end block 520 until it reaches the flat end block 510. When the inclined rod 230 is in contact connection with the flat end block 510, the inclined rod 230 is perpendicular to the inner wall of the soaking area 110, and the fishing frame leaves the soaking liquid in the soaking area 110. The width of the flat end block 510 determines the time when the fishing frame leaves the soaking liquid in the soaking area 110;

[0043] The number of the guiding blocks 500 is not less than one group, and working positions can be added. The specifications and positions of the guiding blocks 500 can be selected by those skilled in the art. What is given in this application is the structure located in the arc section, and the guiding block 500 structure can also be set in the straight section. The arc structure of the arc end block 520 is not limited. The main purpose is to play a role in guiding and lifting to prevent the flat end block 510 from directly preventing the rotation of the fishing component 200, and to use the arc surface or inclined surface structure as a guide;

[0044] It should be noted that, for the foregoing embodiments, for the sake of simple description, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations. However, those skilled in the art should know that the present utility model is not limited by the described action sequence, because according to the present utility model, some steps may be performed in other sequences or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also know that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily essential to the present utility model.

[0045] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on these embodiments, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.
