Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to tofu processing equipment, specifically an automatic dispenser for tofu processing. Background Technology

[0002] The processing of tofu involves many steps, including soaking the raw materials, grinding, filtering, boiling, coagulating, and shaping. The soaking process involves soaking the raw soybeans in water to allow them to absorb water and swell. Then, the swelled soybeans are ground to fully dissolve the protein in the water. After that, the mixture is filtered, and then the liquid is boiled. After boiling, coagulation is performed to solidify the liquid into tofu curds, which are then pressed into shape.

[0003] In traditional tofu processing, the semi-solidified slurry after coagulation needs to be manually scooped out when transferred to the mold. This process takes a lot of time, and some yellow liquid remains in the semi-solidified slurry. During scooping, as much water as possible needs to be skimmed off, resulting in low overall efficiency. In large-scale tofu processing, this process consumes a lot of time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention relates to an automatic distributor for tofu processing. It uses automated equipment to pour and distribute semi-solidified slurry, which can minimize manual labor input and improve the stability of the automated distribution operation, thereby reducing the amount of yellow slurry entering the mold to a certain extent.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic dispenser for tofu processing includes a base and a feed cylinder mounted on the base. The base has two columns, and the feed cylinder is hinged between the two columns. The top of the feed cylinder has a stirring section, and the top side of the feed cylinder has a protruding guide plate, which is an integral structure with the feed cylinder. The columns have a drive section for driving the feed cylinder to rotate around the hinge point.

[0007] The stirring unit includes a stirring motor and stirring blades. The stirring motor is mounted on the top of the material cylinder via a bracket. The lower part of the stirring motor is provided with a stirring shaft that extends into the material cylinder, and the bottom of the stirring shaft is provided with the stirring blades.

[0008] The drive unit includes a rack on the material cylinder and a drive motor on the column. The drive motor is equipped with a drive gear, which meshes with the rack on the material cylinder. The drive motor drives the drive gear to rotate, and the drive gear drives the rack and the material cylinder to rotate.

[0009] The rack is a ring-shaped structure, with the hinge point between the cylinder and the column as the center. The teeth on the rack are located on the inner wall of the ring-shaped rack. A reducer is provided between the drive motor and the drive gear. The drive motor drives the drive gear to rotate through the reducer, and the drive gear drives the ring-shaped rack to rotate, thereby rotating the cylinder.

[0010] A rotating mechanism is provided between the column and the base, which drives the column to rotate on the base.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a turntable located at the bottom of the column. The turntable has a ring structure, and two columns are respectively located at opposite positions on the turntable. A pressure plate is provided on the outer side of the turntable to limit its movement. The pressure plate is fixed to the upper part of the base, so that the turntable rotates between the pressure plate and the base. The rotating mechanism also includes a rotating motor that drives the pressure plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the turntable is provided with driven teeth, and the rotating motor is provided with a driving gear. The driving gear and the driven teeth mesh with each other, and the rotation of the rotating motor is transmitted to the driven teeth through the driving gear, thereby driving the turntable to rotate between the base and the pressure plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the turntable has an inclined protrusion on the outer side of its bottom, and the pressure plate has a corresponding recess on the inner side of its bottom.

[0014] The base is equipped with evenly distributed casters at its bottom.

[0015] The present invention, by adopting the above-described technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The overall structure is simple. The internal liquid is distributed by rotating the cylinder through a motor drive, which eliminates the time-consuming and laborious process of manual scooping and greatly improves production efficiency. It has a very good effect on factory mass production.

[0017] The addition of a stirring device allows the slurry to separate into layers of yellow slurry and other materials during the semi-solidification process, making it easier to scoop out the yellow slurry. Alternatively, the yellow slurry at the top of the layers can be poured out first when the slurry cylinder is tilted. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1-3 The automatic dispenser for tofu processing shown includes a base 1 and a feed cylinder 2 mounted on the base 1. The base 1 has two columns 3, and the feed cylinder 2 is hinged between the two columns 3. The top of the feed cylinder 2 has a stirring part 4, and the top side of the feed cylinder 2 has a protruding guide plate 201, which is an integral structure with the feed cylinder 2. The columns 3 have a driving part 5 for driving the feed cylinder 2 to rotate around the hinge point. The bottom of the base 1 has evenly distributed casters 6.

[0023] The stirring part 4 includes a stirring motor 401 and stirring blades 402. The stirring motor 401 is mounted on the top of the material cylinder 2 via a bracket 403. The lower part of the stirring motor 401 is provided with a stirring shaft 404 that extends into the material cylinder 2. The bottom of the stirring shaft 404 is provided with the stirring blades 402.

[0024] The drive unit 5 includes a rack 501 mounted on the material cylinder 2 and a drive motor 502 mounted on the column 3. The drive motor 502 is equipped with a drive gear 503, which meshes with the rack 501 on the material cylinder 2. The drive motor 502 drives the drive gear 503 to rotate, and the drive gear 503 drives the rack 501 and the material cylinder 2 to rotate.

[0025] The rack 501 is a ring structure, and the ring rack 501 is set with the hinge point of the material cylinder 2 and the column 3 as the center. The teeth on the rack 501 are set on the inner wall of the ring rack 501. A reducer 504 is provided between the drive motor 502 and the drive gear 503. The drive motor 502 drives the drive gear 503 to rotate through the reducer 504. The drive gear 503 drives the ring rack 501 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the material cylinder 2.

[0026] A rotating mechanism 7 is provided between the column 3 and the base 1. The rotating mechanism 7 drives the column 3 to rotate on the base 1.

[0027] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism 7 includes a turntable 701 located at the bottom of the column 3. The turntable 701 has a ring structure, and the two columns 3 are respectively located at opposite positions on the turntable 701. A pressure plate 702 is provided on the outer side of the turntable 701 to limit its movement. The pressure plate 702 is fixed to the upper part of the base 1, so that the turntable 701 rotates between the pressure plate 702 and the base 1. The rotating mechanism 7 also includes a rotating motor 703 that drives the pressure plate 702.

[0028] Furthermore, the inner wall of the turntable 701 is provided with a driven tooth 704, and the rotating motor 703 is provided with a driving gear 705. The driving gear 705 and the driven tooth 704 mesh with each other. The rotation of the rotating motor 703 is transmitted to the driven tooth 704 through the driving gear 705, thereby driving the turntable 701 to rotate between the base 1 and the pressure plate 702.

[0029] Furthermore, the turntable 701 has an inclined protrusion 706 on the outer side of its bottom, and the pressure plate 702 has a recess 707 on the inner side of its bottom corresponding to the protrusion 706.

[0030] This device allows for tilting and rotating of the material cylinder during use, facilitating the pouring of materials inside, reducing manpower input and improving work efficiency. In addition, when the soybean slurry forms a semi-solid slurry inside the cylinder, it can achieve good stratification under the action of the stirring section, which facilitates the discharge of yellow slurry water. Furthermore, the stratified material can be discharged by tilting the material cylinder.

[0031] In actual use, the overall rotating structure of the barrel allows multiple sets of molds to be placed around it, automatically completing the rotation and pouring of slurry.
