Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tofu processing, and in particular to a tofu processing residue-liquid separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Soy products are foods made primarily from soybeans. Tofu production begins with soaking and grinding soybeans to create soy milk. However, some soybean residue produced during the crushing and grinding process enters the soy milk, affecting the texture of the tofu. Therefore, the soybean residue needs to be separated from the soy milk during processing. In the prior art, a utility model patent with patent application number 202221004784.1 discloses a special equipment for separating residue from soy product processing. This equipment mainly consists of an inner cylinder, handles, support columns, and a motor. However, when cleaning the separated soybean residue, workers still need to manually remove the inner cylinder from the outer cylinder and then manually empty the inner cylinder to remove the residue. In large-scale production, manually cleaning the soybean residue is labor-intensive and inconvenient. Therefore, a convenient filtering device for cleaning soybean residue is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a tofu processing residue-liquid separation device that can not only filter the slurry but also automatically discharge the separated soybean residue, reducing labor intensity, and is easy to use and highly practical.

[0004] This utility model discloses a tofu processing residue-liquid separation device, comprising a base plate, a support frame, a housing, and a drain pipe. The housing is mounted on the base plate via the support frame, and a chamber is provided inside the housing. A drain pipe communicating with the chamber is located at the bottom of the housing, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe. It also includes a conveying mechanism and a filtering mechanism. The filtering mechanism is mounted on the housing and has both filtering and automatic cleaning functions. The conveying mechanism is used to transport the slurry into the filtering mechanism. During tofu processing, the slurry containing soybean residue is conveyed to the filtering mechanism via the conveying mechanism. The slurry is then filtered within the filtering mechanism and discharged into the chamber of the housing. The soybean residue in the slurry remains within the filtering mechanism. When it is necessary to clean the soybean residue in the filtering mechanism, it is automatically discharged through the filtering mechanism. This device not only filters the slurry but also automatically discharges the separated soybean residue, reducing labor intensity, making it convenient to use and highly practical.

[0005] Preferably, the filtration mechanism includes a filter cylinder, a fixed bearing, a connecting frame, a conveying pipe, a rotary joint, a sealing mechanism, and a driving mechanism. The filter cylinder is rotatably mounted on the housing and the fixed bearing. The filter cylinder has an internal cavity. The upper part of the filter cylinder has multiple sets of filter holes communicating with the filter cavity. The lower end of the filter cylinder is open. The sealing mechanism is used to seal the lower opening of the filter cylinder. The sealing mechanism is located below the filter holes and has a movable function. The filter cylinder is rotatably mounted on the fixed bearing. The fixed bearing is fixedly mounted in the cavity of the housing through the connecting frame. The lower end of the conveying pipe is connected to the filter cylinder. The conveying pipe is rotatably mounted on the housing, with its upper part connected to a rotary joint. A drive mechanism is installed on both the conveying pipe and the housing, and is used to drive the conveying pipe to rotate. When filtering the slurry, the slurry containing soybean residue is conveyed through the rotary joint to the conveying pipe via the conveying mechanism. The slurry then enters the cavity of the filter cylinder through the conveying pipe, and is discharged into the chamber of the housing through multiple sets of filter holes on the filter cylinder. The soybean residue in the slurry remains in the cavity of the filter cylinder, and falls onto the sealing mechanism at the bottom of the filter cylinder under gravity. This facilitates the filtration of the slurry.

[0006] Preferably, the sealing mechanism includes a sealing plate, a rotating shaft, a push rod, and a hydraulic cylinder. A bearing is mounted on the upper part of the rotating shaft, and the upper part of the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the bearing. The bearing is fixedly mounted on the sealing plate. The rotating shaft, filter cylinder, and conveying pipe are coaxial. The sealing plate is slidably mounted up and down within the cavity of the filter cylinder, and there is a sealed sliding connection between the sealing plate and the cavity of the filter cylinder. The rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the push rod, and the lower end of the push rod is connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted on the base plate. When the slurry is filtered in the filter cylinder, the soybean residue in the slurry falls onto the sealing plate. After the slurry is filtered, the hydraulic cylinder causes the push rod to lower the rotating shaft and the sealing plate, moving the sealing plate through the opening at the lower end of the filter cylinder to the lower side of the filter cylinder. This allows the soybean residue that has fallen onto the sealing plate to move together with the sealing plate to the bottom of the filter cylinder, whereby workers can collect the soybean residue. This mechanism automatically discharges the filtered soybean residue through the filter cylinder, making it convenient and highly practical.

[0007] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a bevel gear A, a bevel gear B, a drive shaft, and a drive motor. Bevel gear A is fixedly mounted on the conveying pipe, meshing with bevel gear B. Bevel gear B is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft, which is rotatably mounted on the housing. The right end of the drive shaft is connected to the drive motor, which is also fixedly mounted on the housing. When the slurry is filtered in the cavity of the filter cylinder, the drive motor is turned on. The drive motor, through the drive shaft, causes bevel gear B to rotate, which in turn causes bevel gear A to rotate. Bevel gear A, through the conveying pipe, causes the filter cylinder to rotate. During rotation, the slurry in the cavity of the filter cylinder is discharged through multiple sets of filter holes under centrifugal force, thus increasing the filtration speed of the slurry on the filter cylinder. This design is convenient to use and highly practical.

[0008] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a conveying pump, a discharge pipe, and an input pipe. The output end of the conveying pump is connected to the rotary joint through the discharge pipe, and the input end of the conveying pump is provided with an input pipe. When filtering the slurry, the conveying pump is turned on, so that the external slurry enters the rotary joint in sequence through the input pipe, the conveying pump, and the discharge pipe. Then, the slurry is conveyed to the filter cylinder for filtration through the rotary joint and the conveying pipe. This facilitates the conveying of the slurry.

[0009] Preferably, the tank is equipped with a level gauge; this facilitates the monitoring of the slurry level inside the tank chamber and improves convenience.

[0010] Preferably, the filter cartridge is made of stainless steel; this design delays rusting and extends the service life of the filter cartridge.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: it can not only filter the slurry, but also automatically discharge the separated soybean residue, reducing labor intensity, making it convenient to use and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Example 1

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 This utility model discloses a tofu processing residue-liquid separation device, comprising a base plate 1, a support 2, a housing 3, a drain pipe 4, a conveying mechanism, and a filtering mechanism. The housing 3 is mounted on the base plate 1 via the support 2. A chamber is provided inside the housing 3, and a drain pipe 4 communicating with the chamber is located at the lower part of the housing 3. A valve is installed on the drain pipe 4. The filtering mechanism is mounted on the housing 3 and has both filtering and automatic cleaning functions. The conveying mechanism is used to convey the slurry into the filtering mechanism. During tofu processing, the slurry containing soybean residue is conveyed to the filtering mechanism via the conveying mechanism. The slurry is then filtered within the filtering mechanism and discharged into the chamber of the housing 3. The soybean residue in the slurry remains within the filtering mechanism. When it is necessary to clean the soybean residue in the filtering mechanism, it is automatically discharged through the filtering mechanism. This device not only filters the slurry but also automatically discharges the separated soybean residue, reducing labor intensity, making it convenient to use and highly practical.

[0021] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The filtration mechanism includes a filter cylinder 5, a fixed bearing 6, a connecting frame 7, a conveying pipe 8, a rotary joint 9, a sealing mechanism, and a drive mechanism. The filter cylinder 5 is rotatably mounted on the housing 3 and the fixed bearing 6. The filter cylinder 5 has an internal cavity. The upper part of the filter cylinder 5 has multiple sets of filter holes communicating with the filter cavity. The lower end of the filter cylinder 5 is open. The sealing mechanism is used to seal the lower opening of the filter cylinder 5. The sealing mechanism is located below the filter holes and has a movable function. The filter cylinder 5 is rotatably mounted on the fixed bearing 6. The fixed bearing 6 is fixedly mounted in the cavity of the housing 3 through the connecting frame 7. The lower end of the conveying pipe 8 is connected to the filter cylinder 5. The conveying pipe 8 is rotatably mounted on the housing 3, and its upper part is connected to the rotary joint 9. The drive mechanism is mounted on the conveying pipe 8 and the housing 3, and is used to drive the conveying pipe 8 to rotate. When filtering the slurry, the slurry containing soybean residue is conveyed to the conveying pipe 8 through the rotary joint 9 via the conveying mechanism. Then, the slurry enters the cavity of the filter cylinder 5 through the conveying pipe 8. After that, the slurry is discharged into the cavity of the housing 3 through multiple sets of filter holes on the filter cylinder 5. The soybean residue in the slurry remains in the cavity of the filter cylinder 5, and the soybean residue falls onto the sealing mechanism at the bottom of the filter cylinder 5 under the action of gravity. This facilitates the filtration of the slurry.

[0022] like Figure 3 and Figure 5The sealing mechanism includes a sealing plate 10, a rotating shaft 11, a push rod 12, and a hydraulic cylinder 13. A bearing is mounted on the upper part of the rotating shaft 11, and the upper part of the rotating shaft 11 is rotatably mounted on the bearing. The bearing is fixedly mounted on the sealing plate 10. The rotating shaft 11, the filter cylinder 5, and the conveying pipe 8 are coaxial. The sealing plate 10 is slidably mounted vertically within the cavity of the filter cylinder 5, and a sealed sliding connection exists between the sealing plate 10 and the cavity of the filter cylinder 5. The rotating shaft 11 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the push rod 12, and the lower end of the push rod 12 is connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 13. The hydraulic cylinder 13 is fixedly mounted on the bottom... On plate 1; when the slurry is filtered in the filter cylinder 5, the soybean residue in the slurry falls onto the sealing plate 10. After the slurry is filtered, the hydraulic cylinder 13 causes the push rod 12 to drive the rotating shaft 11 and the sealing plate 10 to descend, so that the sealing plate 10 moves to the lower side of the filter cylinder 5 through the opening at the lower end of the filter cylinder 5. Then, the soybean residue that has fallen onto the sealing plate 10 moves together with the sealing plate 10 to the bottom of the filter cylinder 5. Then, the staff can collect the soybean residue on the sealing plate 10. It can automatically discharge the filtered soybean residue through the filter cylinder 5, which is convenient to use and highly practical.

[0023] like Figure 4 The drive mechanism includes bevel gear A14, bevel gear B15, drive shaft 16, and drive motor 17. Bevel gear A14 is fixedly mounted on the conveying pipe 8 and meshes with bevel gear B15. Bevel gear B15 is fixedly mounted on drive shaft 16, which is rotatably mounted on housing 3. The right end of drive shaft 16 is connected to drive motor 17, which is also fixedly mounted on housing 3. When the slurry is filtered in the cavity of filter cylinder 5, drive motor 17 is turned on. Drive motor 17 drives bevel gear B15 to rotate bevel gear A14 through drive shaft 16. Bevel gear A14 rotates filter cylinder 5 through conveying pipe 8. During the rotation of filter cylinder 5, the slurry in the cavity of filter cylinder 5 is discharged through multiple sets of filter holes under the action of centrifugal force, which promotes the filtration speed of slurry in filter cylinder 5. It is convenient to use and highly practical.

[0024] like Figure 4 The conveying mechanism includes a conveying pump 18, a discharge pipe 19, and an input pipe 20. The output end of the conveying pump 18 is connected to the rotary joint 9 through the discharge pipe 19, and the input end of the conveying pump 18 is provided with an input pipe 20. When filtering the slurry, the conveying pump 18 is turned on, so that the external slurry enters the rotary joint 9 in sequence through the input pipe 20, the conveying pump 18, and the discharge pipe 19. Then, the slurry is conveyed to the filter cylinder 5 through the rotary joint 9 and the conveying pipe 8 for filtration. This facilitates the conveying of the slurry.

[0025] A level gauge is installed on the housing 3; this feature facilitates the monitoring of the slurry level inside the housing 3 chamber, improving convenience. The filter cartridge 5 is made of stainless steel.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Based on Example 1, a vacuum pump is installed on the housing 3. The vacuum pump reduces the pressure inside the chamber of the housing 3, promotes the discharge speed of the slurry in the cavity of the filter cartridge 5, and promotes the filtration speed.

[0028] The filter cylinder 5, rotary joint 9, hydraulic cylinder 13, bevel gear A14, conveying pump 18, and input pipe 20 of the tofu processing residue-liquid separation equipment of this utility model are all purchased from the market.
