Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tofu processing, and specifically relates to a bean curdling device which is convenient for rapid discharging and pumping water. Background Art

[0002] In the process of tofu production, the cooked tofu slurry (i.e., soymilk) is added with a coagulant such as acid water or brine, so that solids such as proteins and starches in the tofu slurry are denatured and coagulated and precipitated. Then, after removing the acid water, brine or other coagulants therein, bean curd is obtained. This technological process is the bean curdling of tofu. After the bean curdling forms bean curd, the excess acid water needs to be removed. Since the bean curd is a solid-liquid mixture, the acid water needs to be filtered out and then drained or pumped out. Currently, the common method is to put one end of a soft rubber tube into the acid water to fill the soft rubber tube with acid water, then block the other end of the soft rubber tube by hand to prevent air from entering, and quickly move this end to a lower position, and at the same time release the hand blocking the soft rubber tube to let the acid water flow out by gravity.

[0003] In the current production situation, when pumping water, due to air in the water inlet pipe, the water pump cannot be directly used to quickly pump the tofu water in a timely manner. Therefore, usually, manual labor is used to suck with a soft tube by mouth and then place it on the ground. Since the temperature of the internal acid water is relatively high during bean curdling, it is very likely to scald the operator by sucking with the mouth manually, and the water flow direction cannot be uniformly fixed when draining water through the hose, and the water is all over the place.

[0004] Moreover, after the bean curdling is completed, it is not convenient for the staff to quickly discharge the bean curd when pumping out the acid water. It is necessary to manually turn over the soymilk cooking bucket and then pour it out. Due to the weight of the internal bean curd, the weight is relatively large during turning, and the operation difficulty is relatively high. In addition, the temperature inside the soymilk cooking bucket is relatively high, and there is a hidden danger of scalding the operator due to heat transfer. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above deficiencies, the utility model provides a bean curdling device which is convenient for rapid discharging and pumping water. The bean curdling device includes a bean curdling bucket which is movably arranged on a support platform and can be turned over. Not only is it convenient to carry out the bean curdling operation after the bean curdling bucket is placed horizontally, but also it is convenient to turn over the bean curdling bucket after the bean curdling is completed. While facilitating rapid discharging of materials, it also protects the operator. In addition, a water pumping structure and a power device are arranged outside the support platform, which are convenient for pumping out the internal acid water and the excess acid water, thereby avoiding the problems of unhygienic and relatively high danger caused by manual sucking with the mouth.

[0006] The utility model is realized as follows: A bean curdling device which is convenient for rapid discharging and pumping water is constructed, including a bean curdling bucket which is movably arranged on a support platform and can be turned over;

[0007] A water pumping structure which is arranged on the outer side surface of the support platform and keeps the water inlet end movably placed inside the bean curdling bucket;

[0008] A power device is arranged on the pumping structure for pumping water and exhausting air.

[0009] Specifically, support plates are arranged at both ends of the outer side of the top of the support table. A sliding groove is arranged on the top of the support plate, and the bottom of the sliding groove extends below the tabletop of the support table. A limit clamping plate is arranged on the other outer side of the top of the support table. An installation plate installed on the bottom of the support table is arranged at the lower end of the limit clamping plate. The pumping structure and the power device are respectively arranged on the limit clamping plate and the installation plate.

[0010] Specifically, the soy sauce curd making bucket is arranged between the two support plates at the top of the support table. A clamping rod is arranged on one side of the bottom of the outer end of the soy sauce curd making bucket. The clamping rod is clamped in the sliding groove of the support plate to keep rotating and lifting. A hand-held rod is arranged on the other side of the bottom of the outer end of the soy sauce curd making bucket. Through the hand-held rod, it is convenient for the staff to drive the soy sauce curd making bucket to flip around the clamping rod manually or in a combination of manual and automatic ways.

[0011] Specifically, the pumping structure includes a water suction pipe, a drain pipe and a water inlet filter head. One end of the water suction pipe is a flexible pipe, and a water inlet filter head is fixed at the end of the flexible pipe. The other end of the water suction pipe is a rigid pipe, and the end of the rigid pipe passes through the limit clamping plate and extends downward for fixation. The power device is connected between the rigid pipe of the water suction pipe and the drain pipe.

[0012] Specifically, the water inlet filter head is also provided with a counterweight.

[0013] Specifically, the power device includes a vacuum tank and a pump body.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] The soy sauce curd making device has a soy sauce curd making bucket that is movably arranged on the support table and can be flipped. It is not only convenient for the soy sauce curd making operation after the soy sauce curd making bucket is placed horizontally, but also convenient for flipping the soy sauce curd making bucket after the soy sauce curd making is completed, which is convenient for rapid discharging of materials and protects the operator at the same time. Moreover, a pumping structure and a power device are arranged outside the support table, which is convenient for pumping out the acid water inside and the excess acid water, thus avoiding the problems of unhygienic and high danger caused by manual suction with the mouth.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be further specifically described below through specific embodiments in combination with the drawings; it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present utility model and do not constitute any limitation to the present utility model; the drawings in the present utility model are only used in combination with the embodiments for description and are convenient for understanding and use, and do not constitute any relevant limitation to the present utility model.

[0023] It should be noted that the structures, ratios, sizes, etc. shown in the drawings of this specification are only used to cooperate with the content disclosed in the specification for those who are familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the implementable conditions of the present utility model. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects that the present utility model can produce and the purposes that can be achieved, should still fall within the scope that can be covered by the technical content disclosed in the present utility model.

[0024] As described in the background art, in the existing soybean milk adding process of tofu production, since the sour water in the soybean milk adding barrel is inconvenient to discharge, it is necessary to insert a hose from the top of the soybean milk adding barrel during drainage. Because there is air in the hose, the existing water pump cannot pump water. Therefore, it is necessary to suck with the mouth manually and use the siphon principle to discharge the sour water. During this process, because the sour water is at a relatively high temperature, it is easy to get scalded by sucking with the mouth, and it is not hygienic. At the same time, when discharging the internal bean curd, the entire soybean milk adding barrel needs to be turned over. The conventional method is to manually lift and turn over the soybean milk adding barrel, which has a large labor intensity and is easy to get scalded.

[0025] For the above reasons, please refer to the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 4 , the present utility model provides a soybean milk adding device that is convenient for rapid discharging and pumping, including a soybean milk adding barrel 2, which is movably arranged on a support platform 1 and can be turned over;

[0026] A water pumping structure, which is arranged on the outer side surface of the support platform 1 and keeps the water inlet end movably placed in the soybean milk adding barrel 2;

[0027] The power device 4 is arranged on the pumping structure for pumping water and exhausting air.

[0028] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 and the attached Figure 4 Specifically, at both ends of the outer side surface of the top of the support platform 1, there are support plates 1.1. On the top of the support plates 1.1, there are sliding grooves 1.2. The bottom of the sliding grooves 1.2 extends below the tabletop of the support platform 1. On the other outer side surface of the top of the support platform 1, there is a limit clamping plate 1.3. At the lower end of the limit clamping plate 1.3, there is a mounting plate 1.4 installed on the bottom of the support platform 1. The pumping structure and the power device 4 are respectively arranged on the limit clamping plate 1.3 and the mounting plate 1.4.

[0029] According to the above paragraph, the support plates and the sliding grooves on the outer side surface of the support platform are provided to facilitate placing the soymilk coagulation bucket between the support plates and keeping the soymilk coagulation bucket rotating around the position of the sliding groove, so as to realize the rotation of the soymilk coagulation bucket within the range of 0° to 180°, which is convenient for quickly discharging the bean curd inside the soymilk coagulation bucket. At the same time, setting the bottom of the sliding groove to extend below the tabletop of the support platform ensures that the soymilk coagulation bucket can be in horizontal contact with the support platform when placed flat, avoiding the inclination of the soymilk coagulation bucket caused by the bottom of the sliding groove being higher than the tabletop of the support platform.

[0030] Specifically, the soymilk coagulation bucket 2 is arranged between the two support plates 1.1 at the top of the support platform 1. On one side of the bottom of the outer end of the soymilk coagulation bucket 2, there is a clamping rod 2.1. The clamping rod 2.1 is clamped in the sliding groove 1.2 of the support plate 1.1 to maintain rotation and lifting. On the other side of the bottom of the outer end of the soymilk coagulation bucket 2, there is a hand-held rod 2.2. Through the hand-held rod 2.2, it is convenient for the staff to drive the soymilk coagulation bucket 2 to rotate around the clamping rod 2.1 manually or in a combination of manual and automatic ways.

[0031] According to the above paragraph, setting the clamping rod on one side of the bottom of the outer end of the soymilk coagulation bucket can facilitate clamping in the sliding groove to maintain rotation and lifting, which is convenient for the soymilk coagulation bucket to rotate and be placed flat. Setting the hand-held rod on the other side of the bottom is convenient for the staff to push the soymilk coagulation bucket to rotate, realizing the manual way to drive the soymilk coagulation bucket to rotate. It can also be achieved by the electric hoist lifting device or the cylinder contacting the hand-held rod, pushing the soymilk coagulation bucket to rotate upward, and then manually rotating again (because the rotation angle of the soymilk coagulation bucket is relatively large, and the electric hoist lifting device or the cylinder alone cannot achieve large-angle rotation), realizing the combination of manual and automatic ways to drive the soymilk coagulation bucket to rotate.

[0032] Specifically, the pumping structure includes a water suction pipe 3, a drain pipe 5, and a water inlet filter head 6. One end of the water suction pipe 3 is a flexible pipe, and a water inlet filter head 6 is fixed at the end of the flexible pipe. The other end of the water suction pipe 3 is a rigid pipe, and the end of the rigid pipe passes through the limit clamping plate 1.3 and extends downward for fixation. The power device 4 is connected between the rigid pipe of the water suction pipe 3 and the drain pipe 5.

[0033] As described in the previous paragraph, one end of the water suction pipe is set as a flexible pipe, which is convenient for inserting into the grouting bucket for pumping water, and it can also be removed for cleaning. The other end of the water suction pipe is set as a rigid pipe for easy fixation, so as to achieve centralized drainage and is also convenient for connecting with the power device.

[0034] Specifically, the water inlet filter head 6 is also provided with a counterweight.

[0035] As described in the previous paragraph, setting the counterweight is convenient for the flexible pipe end of the water suction pipe to insert into the acid water under the action of gravity after inserting into the grouting bucket, facilitating the discharge of the acid water.

[0036] Specifically, the power device 4 includes a vacuum tank and a pump body.

[0037] Furthermore, the principle of the power device is

[0038] 1. Install a sealed vacuum tank on the suction pipeline between the grouting tank and the pump body. Before starting the pump body, fill the vacuum tank with water (the pump is also filled with water).

[0039] 2. After the pump body is started, it will first pump the water in the vacuum tank. The liquid level in the vacuum tank drops, a vacuum is formed in the pipe, and the pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure on the water surface of the water pool. At this time, the water will enter the vacuum tank along the suction pipe. When the liquid discharge of the water pump and the liquid inlet of the suction pipeline reach equilibrium, the liquid level in the vacuum tank will no longer drop and reach a stable working state. The pump reaches its rated working state and continuously transports the water out.

[0040] During the use of this grouting device, first place the grouting bucket 2 flat on the support platform 1 so that the clamping rod 2.1 is stuck in the sliding groove 1.2. Then perform the grouting operation. After the grouting is completed, first insert the flexible pipe of the water suction pipe 3 into the grouting bucket 2, and it will fall into the acid water under the action of the gravity of the water inlet filter head 6. Then start the power device 4 for pumping water. The pumping principle refers to the above two paragraphs. After the pumping is completed, take out the water suction pipe 3, and then drive the grouting bucket 2 to turn upwards around the clamping rod 2.1 through the hand-held rod 2.2, and finally discharge the internal bean curd to complete the discharging and draining process.

[0041] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred and feasible embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the patent application scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications completed under the technical spirit disclosed by the present invention shall fall within the patent scope covered by the present invention.
