Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cheese extrusion molding, and in particular to an automatic cheese molding device. Background Technology
[0002] Cheese is a fermented milk product, similar in nature to common yogurt. Both are made through fermentation and contain beneficial lactic acid bacteria. However, cheese is more concentrated than yogurt, resembling a solid food, and therefore has a richer nutritional value. Each kilogram of cheese is made from 10 kilograms of concentrated milk, containing abundant protein, calcium, fat, phosphorus, and vitamins. It is a purely natural food. However, the production process requires extruding the solid material to squeeze out the liquid, thus forming the cheese. In current extrusion processes, cheese is extruded directly at room temperature. Excessive temperature can affect the quality of the cheese. Furthermore, the current cheese extrusion process involves directly pressurizing the mold, causing the extruded liquid to spill everywhere, impacting the working environment. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic cheese forming device. The device features a through hole on the lower pressure plate to prevent liquid from splashing during the extrusion process. It also has a larger cover with cool air inside to prevent the cheese from being affected by temperature and thus reducing its quality. The cheese extrusion box is equipped with a corresponding overflow outlet so that the extruded liquid can flow out from one location, thus avoiding affecting the working environment.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic cheese forming device, including a rectangular metal shell, a cold air vent on the side of the rectangular metal shell, a front door at the front of the rectangular metal shell, a hydraulic device at the top of the rectangular metal shell, a pressure plate at the bottom of the hydraulic device, a water tank at the bottom of the rectangular metal shell, a water outlet on the side of the water tank, a receiving platform at the center of the water tank, and a cheese extrusion box on the receiving platform.
[0005] Preferably, the rectangular metal shell is a hollow structure filled with thermal insulation cotton, the front door is made of transparent material, and a sealing strip is provided on the inner edge of the front door.
[0006] Preferably, the hydraulic device is configured in multiple stages, and through holes are provided at the four corners of the lower pressure plate.
[0007] Preferably, the receiving platform is configured from bottom to top as a support column and a tabletop, and the cheese extrusion box is specifically disposed on the tabletop.
[0008] Preferably, a pressure sensor is installed on the platform, and a metal mesh is installed on the upper part of the water tank.
[0009] Preferably, the cheese extrusion boxes are provided in multiple ways, with the size decreasing from bottom to top, and each cheese extrusion box is provided with an overflow outlet at a corner.
[0010] Therefore, the automatic cheese forming device of the present invention, which adopts the above-described structure, has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] In this invention, through holes are provided at the four corners of the lower pressure plate. During the extrusion process, some liquid will flow out from the through holes, preventing liquid splashing. At the same time, a larger metal cover filled with cold air is provided to prevent the cheese from being affected by temperature and thus reducing its quality. For the cheese extrusion box, corresponding overflow outlets are provided so that the extruded liquid can flow out from one position in a unified manner, avoiding affecting the working environment. In addition, a pressure sensor is provided on the table to detect the pressure applied by the hydraulic device and determine the cheese extrusion effect.

[0018] Example
[0019] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic cheese forming device, including a rectangular metal shell 1. The rectangular metal shell 1 is a hollow structure. A cold air vent 5 is provided on the side of the rectangular metal shell 1 to deliver cold air into the interior and reduce the internal temperature. The front of the rectangular metal shell 1 is a front-opening door. The hollow structure is filled with insulation cotton. The front-opening door is made of transparent material. A sealing strip is provided on the inner edge of the front-opening door. The insulation cotton and the sealing strip can form an internal sealed environment. Maintaining a low temperature environment is beneficial to improving the quality of cheese production. A hydraulic device 2 is provided on the top of the rectangular metal shell 1. A lower pressure plate 3 is provided at the bottom of the hydraulic device 2. The hydraulic device 2 adopts a multi-stage setting. The multi-stage setting facilitates the adjustment of the lower pressure distance and improves the same squeezing effect on different numbers of cheese squeezing boxes 12. Through holes 4 are provided at the four corners of the lower pressure plate 3. The through holes 4 can pass liquid and prevent liquid splashing during the squeezing process.
[0020] A water tank 6 is provided at the bottom of the rectangular metal shell 1, and a water outlet 7 is provided on the side of the water tank 6. A metal mesh 11 is provided at the top of the water tank 6. The water tank 6 collects the squeezed liquid for easy and unified processing. A receiving platform is provided in the center of the water tank 6. The receiving platform is provided with a support column 8 and a table 9 from bottom to top. The cheese extrusion box 12 is specifically set on the table 9. A pressure sensor 10 is provided on the table 9. The pressure sensor 10 can observe the pressure on the table 9 to facilitate the measurement of the cheese extrusion effect.
[0021] Multiple cheese extrusion boxes 12 are provided, with their dimensions decreasing from bottom to top. The different sizes allow the cheese extrusion boxes 12 to be nested together. Each cheese extrusion box 12 has an overflow outlet 13 at one corner. The overflow outlet 13 enables unified drainage, preventing the extruded liquid from spilling and affecting the working environment.
[0022] The specific usage process is as follows: First, turn on the air conditioner and adjust the interior of the rectangular metal shell to a low temperature. Then, put the cheese raw materials into the cheese extrusion device and lay the pads in sequence. The pads can ensure a uniform extrusion effect of the cheese. Then, place the cheese extrusion box on the table, close the front door, and start the hydraulic device to extrude. According to the reading of the pressure sensor, determine when the extrusion is complete. After the extrusion is complete, take out the cheese extrusion box to obtain the extruded cheese.
[0023] Therefore, this utility model adopts the above-mentioned structure of an automatic cheese forming device, which provides through holes at the four corners of the lower pressure plate. During the extrusion process, some liquid will flow out from the through holes, avoiding liquid splashing during extrusion. At the same time, a larger metal cover is provided, which is filled with cold air to prevent the cheese from being affected by temperature and thus reducing its quality. For the cheese extrusion box, a corresponding overflow port is provided so that the extruded liquid can flow out from one position in a unified manner, avoiding affecting the working environment. At the same time, a pressure sensor is provided on the table to detect the pressure applied by the hydraulic device, determine the cheese extrusion effect, and improve the cheese yield.
[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it.
