Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soy sauce production equipment, specifically a soy sauce frame. Background Technology

[0002] In the soy sauce production process, the fermented mash is pumped and piped to the pressing workshop for preparation. During the fermentation process, every step, such as steaming and koji making before fermentation, is precisely controlled. However, even with precise control, there are still some slight differences in the mature mash. These slight differences may affect the folding state of the filter cloth when applying the sauce. The quality of the folding state will directly affect whether bulging occurs during the pressing process. Bulging will cause many problems such as waste due to insufficient pressing, damage to the filter cloth, and poor shaping.

[0003] To monitor the folding state of the filter cloth in the sauce distribution frame during the sauce distribution process, existing technologies use an open, non-enclosed structure for the sauce distribution frame in conjunction with a continuous sauce distribution system. This allows for observation of the filter cloth's folding state during distribution, enabling adjustments to relevant parameters to ensure uniform folding. While this method meets most production needs, the open structure can cause soy sauce to splash everywhere and create unsanitary areas, significantly impacting production.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a sauce-splashing frame that can prevent soy sauce from splashing while allowing observation of the folding state of the filter cloth during the sauce-splashing process. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] refer to Figures 1-3 The cloth frame 100 of this embodiment includes a frame body, which has side walls that enclose its internal space. A viewing window 101 is provided in the side walls, and the viewing window 101 is provided with a transparent element 102.

[0032] Specifically, the frame is a vertically connected rectangular frame with side walls that enclose its internal space. By setting the sauce container 100 as a rectangular frame structure with enclosed sides, soy sauce splashing can be effectively prevented.

[0033] The frame has a visible part 10, a support part 20 and a connecting part 30 arranged sequentially from top to bottom, and a visible window 101 is opened in the side wall of the visible part 10.

[0034] Specifically, the frame is a one-piece stamped part, which can effectively avoid the formation of unsanitary corners. The viewing part 10, the support part 20, and the connecting part 30 are located at the top, middle, and bottom of the frame in the vertical direction, respectively. By opening a viewing window 101 in the viewing part 10 located at the top of the frame, the folding state of the filter cloth input from the top of the cloth frame 100 can be observed in a timely manner.

[0035] Multiple viewing windows 101 are provided and are arranged around the side wall of the viewing section 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, there are a total of eight viewing windows 101. Two viewing windows 101 are evenly arranged in each side wall of the frame. Through multiple viewing windows 101, the folding state of the filter cloth can be completely observed from all directions during the cloth-making process.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The outer side wall of the visible part 10 has a raised edge 11 along the periphery of the visible window 101. The screw 12 is fitted with a spring washer 13 and a flat washer 14 and is sequentially inserted through the connecting flange 15, the transparent element 102 and the raised edge 11, so that the transparent element 102 is closed on the outside of the visible window 101, which can effectively prevent soy sauce from splashing out.

[0038] Specifically, the connecting flange 15 has a through hole at its center that matches the shape and size of the viewing window 101, and the connecting flange 15 has a side that matches the shape and size of the raised edge 11. The dimensions of the viewing element 102 match those of the connecting flange 15 and the raised edge 11. Screws 12 pass through the connecting flange 15 and the side of the viewing element 102 in sequence and are fixed to the raised edge 11, thereby enclosing the viewing element 102 between the raised edge 11 and the connecting flange 15 and placing the viewing element 102 outside the frame, effectively preventing soy sauce from splashing out of the frame.

[0039] Furthermore, a sealing gasket (not shown) may be provided between the viewing element 102 and the raised edge 11. The gasket is inserted through the connecting flange 15, the viewing element 102, the sealing gasket and the raised edge 11 by screws 12 in sequence, which can further ensure the sealing of the viewing window 101 and effectively prevent soy sauce from splashing out.

[0040] In some embodiments, the transparent element 102 can also be fitted into the viewing window 101 by means of a fitting and sealed by a sealing gasket or other sealing element.

[0041] In this embodiment, the transparent element 102 is made of plexiglass. It is understood that the transparent element 102 is used to allow workers to observe the folded state of the filter cloth inside the frame; therefore, other transparent materials that allow for viewing, such as transparent acrylic sheets, can also be used.

[0042] The inner sidewalls of the visible part 10 and the support part 20 are provided with a plurality of vertically arranged first guide strips 103, and the inner sidewalls of the connecting part 30 are provided with a plurality of vertically arranged positioning grooves 104, which abut against the bottom end of the first guide strips 103.

[0043] A flow channel can be formed between adjacent first flow guide strips 103 to guide the soy sauce flowing out of the filter cloth.

[0044] A viewing window 101 is disposed between two adjacent first guide strips 103. In this embodiment, two viewing windows 101 are evenly arranged in the four side walls, which allows for a comprehensive observation of the folding state of the filter cloth inside the frame without affecting the flow of soy sauce.

[0045] refer to Figures 5-7 The connecting part 30 is also movably connected to an auxiliary frame 200. The auxiliary frame 200 includes an outer frame 201 and an inner frame 202 extending from the bottom inner side of the outer frame 201. A plurality of vertically arranged second guide strips 203 are arranged in the inner frame 202. The second guide strips 203 have gaps with the inner wall of the outer frame 201. The side wall of the connecting part 30 is inserted into the gaps. At the same time, the second guide strips 203 are movably inserted into the positioning groove 104, which enables the auxiliary frame 200 and the cloth frame 100 to complete the positioning connection more stably and quickly.

[0046] Furthermore, a transverse side plate is provided between the bottom end of the support part 20 and the top end of the connecting part 30, and each of the four transverse sides of the transverse side plate is provided with a shaft hole. The bottom end of the inner frame 202 is provided with a transverse plate, and the four transverse sides of the transverse plate are respectively provided with a guide shaft 204 and a motion shaft 205 in the vertical direction corresponding to the position of the shaft hole. The guide shaft 204 and the motion shaft 205 are movably inserted into the shaft hole. At the same time, the motion shaft 205 is also connected to a cylinder 206. The cylinder 206 is fixed to the outside of the side wall of the support part 20. The cylinder 206 drives the motion shaft 205 to move up and down in the vertical direction, which can correspondingly drive the auxiliary frame 200 to move closer to or away from the cloth frame 100.

[0047] In this embodiment, the specific process of observing the folded state of the filter cloth through the cloth frame 100 is as follows:

[0048] Before the paste is spread, the bottom end of the auxiliary frame 200 is positioned and connected to a light pressing cage (not shown) for pressing. The paste spreading frame 100, the auxiliary frame 200, and the light pressing cage form a complete hollow container. A height-adjustable support plate is placed in the vertical space inside the paste spreading frame 100, the auxiliary frame 200, and the light pressing cage. During the paste spreading process, the support plate is raised to the visible part 10 position. The filter cloth containing the paste is fed from the top of the paste spreading frame 100 and folded into the support plate. As the folding height of the filter cloth increases, the support plate will gradually move downward.

[0049] During the sauce application process, the folding state of the filter cloth can be fully observed throughout the entire process via the viewing windows 101 located on the side walls of the viewing section 10. This allows for timely adjustment of the sauce application parameters based on the folding state, ensuring a uniform and neat folding of the filter cloth. Furthermore, because the frame of the sauce application frame 100 has side walls that enclose its internal space, and the transparent element 102 is installed enclosed on the outside of the side walls of the viewing windows 101, sauce splattering is effectively prevented. Additionally, the one-piece molding of the sauce application frame 100 effectively avoids the formation of unsanitary corners.

[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
