Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tofu processing technology, specifically relating to a mobile tofu processing scooping machine. Background Technology
[0002] Tofu making is a traditional food production process originating in China, with a history of over two thousand years. Its core steps include selecting soybeans, soaking, grinding, filtering, boiling the soy milk, adding coagulant, and shaping. First, high-quality soybeans are carefully selected and soaked to fully absorb water and soften them. Next, the soaked soybeans are ground into soy milk, which is then filtered to remove the soy pulp. Then, the soy milk is boiled, and a coagulant is added to coagulate the protein. Finally, the coagulated soy milk is pressed into shape to form tofu. This process not only preserves the nutritional components of soybeans but also gives tofu its delicate texture and diverse culinary possibilities.
[0003] Application No. 202410631178.X discloses a novel automatic tofu scooping machine that mimics manual labor, relating to the field of tofu processing technology. It includes a holding structure, a scooping structure, a pushing structure, and a pressing structure. A tofu basket is movably mounted at the top of the pushing structure. The holding structure holds the tofu curd and is movably positioned below the scooping structure. The scooping structure scoops the tofu curd from the holding structure and places it into the tofu basket above the pushing structure. This invention, through its scooping structure, achieves an automated scooping process, improving production efficiency. Compared to traditional manual operation, it saves time and manpower. Furthermore, the scooping structure ensures that the tofu curd is not damaged, improving its water retention and yield, thereby enhancing product consistency and stability. The automated scooping process reduces reliance on manual labor, lowers labor costs, and also reduces the labor intensity and risks associated with manual operation.
[0004] While the aforementioned documents are effective in making tofu, their equipment design and operating procedures are often more suitable for large-scale production. For small tofu processing workshops, there are certain limitations. Small workshops usually have limited space, lower equipment budgets, and require flexible operating methods. In addition, the cleaning and maintenance of the equipment are also more cumbersome, increasing the operating burden of small workshops. Therefore, a mobile tofu processing scooping machine has emerged. Utility Model Content

[0029] The support mechanism 200 includes a mounting plate 201 fixedly installed on the side wall of the support seat 101, a load-bearing plate 202 fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting plate 201, a guardrail 203 fixedly installed on the side wall of the load-bearing plate 202, a handrail 204 fixedly installed on the side wall of the guardrail 203, a mounting component 205 disposed on the side wall of the mounting plate 201, a drive component 206 disposed on the surface of the mounting component 205 for use with the mounting component 205, and a scooping component 207 disposed on the surface of the drive component 206 for use with the drive component 206.
[0030] The mounting assembly 205 includes a column 205a fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate 201, a reinforcing rod 205b fixedly mounted on the side wall of the column 205a, and a horizontal column 205c fixedly mounted on the side wall of the column 205a. The mounting assembly 205 also includes a connecting plate 205d fixedly mounted on the side wall of the horizontal column 205c, and an auxiliary plate 205e fixedly mounted on the side wall of the column 205a.
[0031] Specifically, the end of the reinforcing rod 205b is fixedly connected to the horizontal column 205c. The column 205a, together with the reinforcing rod 205b and the horizontal column 205c, will form a stable triangle, ensuring the stability of the device during use and guaranteeing the service life of the device.
[0032] The drive assembly 206 includes a slide rail 206a fixedly mounted on the side wall of the cross column 205c, a movable seat 206b slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail 206a, a mounting bracket 206c fixedly mounted on the side wall of the movable seat 206b, and a hydraulic cylinder 206d adapted to be mounted on the side wall of the mounting bracket 206c. The drive assembly 206 also includes a cylinder 206e fixedly mounted on the side wall of the auxiliary plate 205e, a limiting block 206f fixedly mounted on the side wall of the auxiliary plate 205e, a limiting rod 206g fixedly mounted on the side wall of the limiting block 206f, and a limiting plate 206h fixedly mounted on the end of the limiting rod 206g.
[0033] Furthermore, the limiting rod 206g passes through the movable seat 206b, ensuring that the moving path of the movable seat 206b will not deviate when the movable seat 206b moves.
