[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components.

The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0029] The present invention will be described below through several specific embodiments. To keep the following description of the embodiments of the present invention clear and concise, detailed descriptions of known functions and components may be omitted. When any component of an embodiment of the present invention appears in more than one drawing, the component may be represented by the same reference numerals in each drawing.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 1 This is a front view of a soybean grinding device for making soy milk, provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A magnified view of a portion of region A in the middle. Figure 3 This is a sectional view below the front view of a soybean grinding device for making soy milk provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 4 for Figure 3 A magnified view of a portion of region B. Figure 5This is a sectional view below a side view of a soybean grinding device for making soy milk, provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 6 for Figure 5 A magnified view of a portion of region C. (See diagram below.) Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a soybean grinding device for making soybean milk, including: a barrel 1, a feeding funnel 2 located at the top of the barrel 1, a grinding mechanism 3 disposed inside the barrel 1, and a slurry outlet 4 disposed on the side wall of the barrel 1, the slurry outlet 4 being near the bottom of the barrel 1. It also includes a feeding pipe 5 and a control component 6. The feeding pipe 5 is a square pipe, one end of which is connected to the feeding funnel 2, and the other end of which passes through the barrel 1. Two opposing inner side walls of the feeding pipe 5 are provided with first grooves 50 along their length. The width of the groove 50 is equal to the width of the inner wall of the feed pipe 5. The control component 6 includes two baffles 60 and two stepper motors 61. One end of the two baffles 60 is rotatably connected to one end of the first groove 50 near the feed funnel 2. The other ends of the two baffles 60 abut against each other. The width of the two baffles 60 is equal to the width of the first groove 50. The two stepper motors 61 are respectively connected to one side wall of the feed pipe 5. The output ends of the two stepper motors 61 are respectively connected to the two baffles 60. The stepper motors 61 are used to control the rotation angle of the baffles 60.

[0031] When the soybean feeding speed needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to control the two stepper motors 61 to rotate at the corresponding angle. The two stepper motors 61 drive the baffles 60 to rotate at the same angle, so that a gap of the corresponding size appears between the two baffles 60. By controlling the rotation of the stepper motors 61, the feeding speed of the ground soybeans can be adjusted. This process does not require much force and the stepper motors 61 can achieve precise adjustment, thereby improving the quality of the soy milk.

[0032] Refer again Figure 3 and Figure 4 The present invention also includes two support components 7, which correspond one-to-one with two baffles 60. Each support component 7 includes a support rod 70, a slider 71, and multiple limiting rods 72. The slider 71 is slidably connected to the first groove 50. One end of the support rod 70 is rotatably connected to the slider 71, and the other end of the support rod 70 is rotatably connected to the end of the baffle 60 away from the first groove 50. The multiple limiting rods 72 are sequentially connected to the side wall of the feed pipe 5. One end of the limiting rod 72 extends out of the feed pipe 5, and the other end of the limiting rod 72 extends into the feed pipe 5. The limiting rod 72 is located on the side of the stepper motor 61 away from the feed funnel 2.

[0033] Initially, by controlling the stepper motor 61 to rotate, the rotation angle of the baffle 60 is adjusted, creating a suitable gap between the two baffles 60 to optimize the soybean feeding speed. Then, the first limiting rod 72 below the slider 71 extends into the feed pipe 5. When there are many soybeans on the baffle 60 and the baffle 60 is subjected to a large downward force, even if the baffle 60 rotates, the support rod 70 will drive the slider 71 to move downwards. The slider 71 stops moving when it reaches the limiting rod 72. The support rod 70 provides support for the baffle 60, and the baffle 60 will not rotate too much, thus avoiding a sudden increase in the soybean feeding speed.

[0034] The limiting rod 72 is a threaded rod, which is threadedly connected to the side wall of the feed pipe 5. The threaded rod makes the entry or exit of the limiting rod 72 more stable, and will not cause the limiting rod 72 to automatically move out of the feed pipe 5 due to vibration during use, thus making the limiting function fail. This makes the soybean feeding speed more stable.

[0035] Refer again Figure 5 and Figure 6 One end of the limiting rod 72 extending outside the feed pipe 5 is connected to a limiting plate 73. The limiting plate 73 is an annular plate. The setting of the limiting plate 73 makes it easier for the limiting rod 72 to move out of or into the feed pipe 5, thereby making the limiting rod 72 easier to adjust, making it easier to adjust the baffle 60, and thus making it easier to adjust the feeding speed.

[0036] Refer again Figure 5 and Figure 6 The feed pipe 5, connected to the stepper motor 61, has a second groove 51 on its outer side wall. Multiple threaded holes are formed in the second groove 51, and the limiting rod 72 is threaded into these holes. When the limiting rod 72 is short, it is prone to breakage when limiting the slider 71. However, because the thickness of the feed pipe 5 occupies a certain length of the limiting rod 72, a longer portion of the limiting rod 72 extends outside the feed pipe 5. The second groove 51 reduces the length occupied by the feed pipe 5, making the limiting rod 72 less likely to break during limiting and preventing it from extending too far beyond the feed pipe 5 when not limiting. Furthermore, the second groove 51 allows for a longer length of the limiting rod 72 entering the feed pipe 5, resulting in better limiting of the baffle 60 and improved feeding speed.

[0037] The distance between the threaded holes is 5cm-10cm. This distance avoids the large angle of rotation of the baffle due to the large spacing, thus preventing a sudden increase in the feeding speed.

[0038] Refer again Figure 5 and Figure 6The present invention also includes a connecting plate 8, which is connected between the stepper motor 61 and the baffle 60, thus avoiding the motor being directly connected to the baffle 60. The connecting plate 8 is connected to the stepper motor 61, and the rotation of the stepper motor 61 drives the connecting plate 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the baffle 60 to rotate, making the rotation process more stable and thus making the adjustment of the soybean feeding speed more stable.

[0039] Refer again Figure 1 and Figure 2 The end of the baffle 60 away from the first groove 50 is arc-shaped. The arc is located on the side of the baffle 60 near the feed hopper 2. The arc shape makes it easier for soybeans above the baffle 60 to enter the grinding mechanism 3, reducing the possibility of soybean blockage and reducing the possibility of soybean feed speed reduction.

[0040] Both the baffle 60 and the support rod 70 are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is safer, less prone to rust, and has a longer service life.

[0041] The thickness of the baffle 60 is less than the depth of the first groove 50, so that when the maximum feeding speed is required, the baffle 60 can be fully inserted into the first groove 50 without affecting the feeding speed.

[0042] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of the present utility model. However, the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
