Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of dried tofu processing, and in particular to a transfer mechanism for rings used in dried tofu. Background Art

[0002] As a kind of soy product, dried tofu occupies a certain share in the market due to its unique taste and nutritional value. With the development of technology, the food processing industry is gradually moving towards automation and mechanization. This can not only improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, but also ensure the quality and safety of products. Among them, when making dried tofu, the unformed dried tofu needs to be placed in a ring and then heated and plasticized to facilitate processing. When the dried tofu is shaped, the ring is taken out by manual peeling. However, the processed dried tofu emits high-temperature hot air, which is easy to scald people, and the high temperature is not conducive to peeling, thus affecting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to improve the problem of poor efficiency caused by high temperature in the conventional manual peeling of dried tofu rings and the potential safety hazard of scalding caused by high temperature, the present application provides a transfer mechanism for rings used in dried tofu.

[0004] The transfer mechanism for rings used in dried tofu provided by the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A transfer mechanism for rings used in dried tofu includes a main body bracket. Fixed brackets corresponding to the functions of transporting and discharging rings are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom of the main body bracket. A plurality of ring plates for shaping dried tofu are movably arranged on the surfaces of the two fixed brackets.

[0006] A moving block is movably arranged at the position of the bottom of the main body bracket relative to the fixed brackets. A moving plate is connected to the bottom of the moving block. Clamping plates for clamping the ring plates are connected and arranged on both sides of the bottom of the moving plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, the ring plates are translated along the surface of the fixed bracket for the function of transporting in. When the ring plates move to the bottom of the main body bracket, the clamping plates clamp and take out the ring plates, and are driven by the moving block to move synchronously to the top of the fixed bracket for the function of discharging. At this time, the clamping of the ring plates by the clamping plates is cancelled, so as to place the ring plates on the surface of the fixed bracket for the function of discharging, and the operation of taking out and transporting the ring plates is completed automatically.

[0008] Preferably, conveying mechanisms are movably arranged on both sides of the inner walls of the two fixed brackets. The conveyor belts in the plurality of conveying mechanisms are respectively abutted against the bottoms of the ring plates in pairs.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the two conveying mechanisms are in opposite directions and thus respectively have the functions of transporting in and transporting out, and the conveyor belt in the conveying mechanism abuts against the bottom of the ferrule plate to drive the ferrule plate to move.

[0010] Preferably, support plates are fixedly provided at the positions of the bottoms of the two fixed brackets on the main body bracket, electric push rods I are fixedly provided on the upper end faces of the two support plates, and abutting plates are fixedly connected to the tops of the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods I.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate is located at the bottom of the fixed bracket, so as to reserve a fixed fulcrum for the installation of the electric push rod I. At the same time, the telescopic end of the electric push rod I extends to push the abutting plate to move upward, so as to provide power for the separation of the ferrule plate and the dried tofu.

[0012] Preferably, interaction ports are respectively formed through the middles of a plurality of the ferrule plates, the interaction ports extend from the lower end faces of the ferrule plates to form convex shapes, and one interaction port located at the bottom of the main body bracket among the plurality of ferrule plates abuts against the top of the abutting plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the outer surface of the ferrule plate is wrapped with dried tofu, the interaction port is located in the central part of the ferrule plate to play a good ventilation role. At the same time, the bottom of the interaction port protrudes to reserve enough area to abut against the top of the abutting plate, so as to receive the thrust of the abutting plate and rise synchronously, and separate from the dried tofu during the rising process.

[0014] Preferably, a rotation groove is formed inward at the bottom of the main body bracket, a lead screw is rotatably connected in the rotation groove, and the surface of the lead screw is threadedly connected with a moving block.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the lead screw drives the moving block to translate along the surface of the lead screw. At the same time, the moving block is abutted inside the rotation groove to form a limiting effect, so that the moving block moves along the groove of the rotation groove.

[0016] Preferably, limiting convex blocks are respectively protruded on both sides of the moving plate, guide rods are fixedly provided on both sides between the two limiting convex blocks, and the surfaces of the two guide rods are respectively penetrated and connected with the two clamping plates in pairs.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the two guide rods and the two clamping plates are penetrated. When the clamping plates are subjected to thrust, they translate along the rod parts of the guide rods, so as to play a guiding role and prevent the clamping plates from shifting when moving.

[0018] Preferably, two electric push rods II are fixedly provided on the upper end face of the moving plate between the two clamping plates, and the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods II are respectively fixedly connected with the side surfaces of the two clamping plates one by one.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the two electric push rods II drive the clamping plates to perform relative translation, so that the bottoms of the two clamping plates clamp and fix the ferrule plate.

[0020] Preferably, an activity cavity is formed on one side of the side surface of the main body bracket and located at the rotation groove. A servo motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the activity cavity at the position of the lead screw. The rotating end of the servo motor penetrates through the main body bracket and is fixedly connected to the lead screw. A sealing plate is rotatably arranged on the outer surface of the main body bracket at the position of the activity cavity.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the servo motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby providing power for the movement of the ferrule plate. At the same time, the sealing plate is rotatably arranged on the surface of the main body bracket, thereby sealing the rotation groove and maintaining the operating environment of the servo motor.

[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The abutting plate is used to push the ferrule plate upward, so that the ferrule plate is separated from the dried bean curd. At the same time, the ferrule plate is pushed into the space between the two clamping plates. The two clamping plates move towards each other to clamp and fix the ferrule plate, and are driven by the moving plate to perform translation, transporting the ferrule plate to the surface of the transporting mechanism for the function of transporting out, thus completing the automatic extraction and transfer process of the dried bean curd ferrule. While improving the efficiency, it avoids the contact between the manual labor and the high-temperature dried bean curd, reducing the safety hazard. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] The following is a further detailed description of the present application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-4 drawings.

[0031] An embodiment of the present application discloses a transfer mechanism for rings used in dried bean curd.

[0032] The "up, down, left, and right" perspectives of this device are based on Figure 1 the direction of the attached drawings.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , a transfer mechanism for rings used in dried bean curd includes a main body bracket 1. A rotating groove 9 is opened inward on the lower end surface of the main body bracket 1. A lead screw 10 is rotatably connected in the rotating groove 9. And an activity cavity 12 is opened inside the main body bracket 1 on one side of the rotating groove 9. One side of the activity cavity 12 away from the rotating groove 9 penetrates through the main body bracket 1 and communicates with the outside. And a sealing plate 13 is rotatably arranged at the penetration port. The sealing plate 13 rotates on the side surface of the main body bracket 1, so as to form the opening and closing of the activity cavity 12. A servo motor 11 is screwed and fixed on the inner surface of the activity cavity 12 close to the rotating groove 9. And the rotating shaft of the servo motor 11 movably penetrates through the main body bracket 1 and is located in the rotating groove 9. The end of the penetrating end of the servo motor 11 is fixed to the lead screw 10 through a coupling.

[0034] The opening of the activity cavity 12 reserves a fixed space for the installation of the servo motor 11. At the same time, the activity rotating sealing plate 13 opens and closes the activity cavity 12, so as to ensure the operating environment of the servo motor 11, prevent impurities that make the dried bean curd float from flying into the motor interior and causing interference. At the same time, the servo motor 11 drives the lead screw 10 to rotate, so as to provide power for the handling of the rings, and enables the moving block 14 used for handling the rings later to move in the rotating groove 9.

[0035] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , fixed brackets 2 are placed on both sides of the bottom of the main body bracket 1 (the overall length of the fixed brackets 2 is adjusted according to the production site). The two fixed brackets 2 respectively perform the functions of transporting the dried bean curd rings in and out. Through holes are provided in the middle of the two fixed brackets 2. And conveying mechanisms 3 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the through hole. And the transmission belts in the conveying mechanisms 3 are within the range of the through holes. A plurality of ring plates 4 are placed on the upper end surfaces of the two fixed brackets 2. Interaction ports 8 are opened in the middle of the plurality of ring plates 4. The bottom of the interaction port 8 extends out from the bottom surface of the ring plate 4 to form a rectangular protrusion. Under normal conditions, the rectangular protrusion of the interaction port 8 abuts against the surface of the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism 3.

[0036] It should be noted that support plates 5 are fixedly provided at the positions of the bottoms of the two fixed brackets 2 where they are located on the main body bracket 1. The support plates 5 are integrally concave. And electric push rods 6 are fixedly provided on the concave inner surfaces of the two support plates 5. The telescopic ends of the electric push rods 6 extend upward. And the end of the telescopic end is fixedly connected with a butting plate 7. The butting plate 7 is integrally U-shaped. And the width of the U shape is greater than the rectangular protrusion of the interaction port 8.

[0037] Two conveying mechanisms 3 drive multiple ferrule plates 4 to translate respectively. When the conveying mechanism 3 for loading drives the ferrule plate 4 to move to the bottom of the main body bracket 1, one electric push rod 6 at the bottom extends, driving the abutting plate 7 to move upward. As the abutting plate 7 moves upward, a thrust is applied to the rectangular protrusion at the bottom of the interaction port 8, thereby driving the entire ferrule plate 4 to move upward. As the ferrule plate 4 moves upward, it is separated from the dried tofu, and thus is located above the fixed bracket 2, facilitating the rotational movement of the ferrule plate 4.

[0038] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 , a rectangular moving block 14 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 10, and the outer surface width of the moving block 14 is the same as that of the rotating groove 9. The lower end surface of the moving block 14 is fixedly connected with a moving plate 15 through four connecting columns. Both sides of the upper end surface of the moving plate 15 protrude upward to form limiting protrusions 16, and two guide rods 17 are fixedly arranged between the two limiting protrusions 16. Two clamping plates 19 are movably inserted on the surfaces of the two guide rods 17, and the bottoms of the two clamping plates 19 protrude horizontally to form hooks. At the same time, two electric push rods 18 are fixedly arranged on the upper end surface of the moving plate 15 at the position between the two clamping plates 19. The two electric push rods 18 are in opposite directions, and the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods 18 are fixedly connected to the side surfaces of the two clamping plates 19 respectively.

[0039] The two electric push rods 18 contract the telescopic rods respectively, thereby driving the two clamping plates 19 to translate towards each other, so that the hook-shaped protrusions at the bottoms of the two clamping plates 19 form clamping fixation with the outer surface of the ferrule plate 4. At the same time, the entire outer surface of the moving block 14 abuts against both sides of the rotating groove 9. When the lead screw 10 rotates, the moving block 14 translates along the groove of the rotating groove 9 with the lead screw 10 as the center, thereby driving the moving plate 15 to move synchronously, and thus driving the clamped ferrule plate 4 to move, transferring the ferrule plate 4 on the surface of the conveying mechanism 3 for loading to the surface of the conveying mechanism 3 for unloading, thereby completing the rotational movement of the ferrule plate 4.

[0040] The implementation principle of the ferrule transfer mechanism for dried tofu in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: When using this device, the operator needs to first start the left conveying mechanism 3 for the ferrule plate 4. As the left conveying mechanism 3 operates, the conveyor belt continuously drives multiple ferrule plates 4 to translate along the left fixed bracket 2. When one of the ferrule plates 4 is located directly below the main body bracket 1, the left conveying mechanism 3 stops operating. Then, the microcomputer sends a signal to control the left electric push rod 6 to extend. As the left electric push rod 6 extends, it drives the left abutting plate 7 to rise synchronously, thereby applying an upward thrust to the ferrule plate 4. At the same time, the dried tofu fixed in the outer ring of the ferrule plate 4 is in a fixed state. As the abutting plate 7 continues to push, the ferrule plate 4 is separated from within the dried tofu circle;

[0041] After the ferrule plate 4 is separated, the height of the ferrule plate 4 itself increases and is within the range between the two clamping plates 19. The microcomputer sends a signal to control the contraction of the two second electric push rods 18, thereby driving the two clamping plates 19 to move towards each other. As the two clamping plates 19 move, the side surface of the clamping plate 19 abuts against the ferrule plate 4, and the hook-shaped protrusions at the bottom of the two clamping plates 19 form a support for the bottom of the ferrule plate 4 to keep the ferrule plate 4 fixed. Then, the servo motor 11 drives the lead screw 10 to rotate, causing the moving block 14 to translate along the surface of the lead screw 10, driving the moving plate 15 to move synchronously, thereby transporting the ferrule plate 4 to the top of the right fixing bracket 2. At the same time, the first left electric push rod 6 contracts synchronously back to the initial state, so that the abutting plate 7 disengages from the range of the ferrule plate 4 being clamped;

[0042] When the ferrule plate 4 being clamped moves to the top of the right fixing bracket 2, the first right electric push rod 6 extends synchronously, thereby driving the right abutting plate 7 to rise and abut against the bottom of the ferrule plate 4. When the right abutting plate 7 abuts against the ferrule plate 4, the servo motor 11 drives the lead screw 10 to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the moving block 14 moves back to the top of the left fixing bracket 2 again. And as the moving block 14 moves, the first right electric push rod 6 contracts synchronously, so that the right abutting plate 7 returns to its original position. During the return process of the right abutting plate 7, the transported ferrule plate 4 is placed on the conveyor belt surface of the right conveying mechanism 3, and the right conveying mechanism 3 sends the ferrule plate 4 to the subsequent cleaning mechanism, thereby completing the automated separation and transportation process of the dried bean curd ferrule. While improving production efficiency, it avoids manual contact with high temperatures and reduces potential safety hazards.

For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present disclosure. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall be included within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
