Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pulping machines, and in particular to a pulping machine that is easy to feed. Background Technology
[0002] A grinding machine is essential for fermented bean curd production because it is one of the key pieces of equipment in the process. In fermented bean curd production, the grinding machine pulverizes raw materials such as soybeans into fine particles and grinds them into a paste through friction and pressure. This process fully releases the protein and starch components in the raw materials, thereby increasing the yield of soy milk and the quality of the fermented bean curd. Furthermore, the grinding machine refines the particles in the soy milk, making subsequent processing steps smoother and resulting in a more delicate texture in the final fermented bean curd. Therefore, the grinding machine plays a vital role in fermented bean curd production.
[0003] In existing technologies, fermented bean curd production mostly involves manually soaking soybeans and then pouring them into a hopper at the top of a grinder. The soaked soybeans then enter the grinder for further grinding. However, this manual feeding method requires workers to be present next to the grinder and continuously feed the soybeans after they have been processed. This feeding operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also increases the workload of workers and reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a pulping machine that facilitates feeding, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A pulping machine for easy feeding includes a pulping machine body, a pulp outlet at the front end of the pulping machine body, and a slag outlet at the rear end of the pulping machine body. A feeding mechanism is provided on the top surface of the pulping machine body, and the feeding mechanism includes a vacuum feeding hopper, a hopper, a suction pipe, a vacuum suction fan, and an air suction pipe. A second valve is connected between the first discharge port on the bottom surface of the vacuum feeding hopper and the feed pipe on the top surface of the pulping machine body, and a suction pipe is connected between the second discharge port on the bottom surface of the hopper and the suction port on the right side wall of the vacuum feeding hopper. An air suction pipe is connected between the input end of the vacuum suction fan and the air suction port on the top surface of the vacuum feeding hopper.
[0007] Preferably, a feed pipe is fixedly installed on the top surface of the pulping machine body, and a water supply pipe is fixedly installed on the side wall of the feed pipe. A first valve is fixedly installed on the left end of the water supply pipe, and a water delivery pipe is also fixedly installed on the first valve.
[0008] Preferably, an air intake port is fixedly installed on the top surface of the vacuum feeding hopper, and a material intake port is fixedly installed on the right side wall of the vacuum feeding hopper. A first discharge port is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the vacuum feeding hopper, and a second valve is fixedly installed between the first discharge port and the feed pipe.
[0009] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly installed on the bottom of the silo, and a second discharge port is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the silo, with a third valve fixedly installed at the bottom of the second discharge port.
[0010] Preferably, the suction pipe is fixedly installed between the suction port and the second discharge port.
[0011] Preferably, a support base is fixedly installed on the right side of the support frame, and a vacuum suction fan is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support base. The suction pipe is fixedly installed between the input end of the vacuum suction fan and the suction port.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] In this invention, the feeding mechanism, in conjunction with the grinding machine body, allows soaked soybeans to be pre-stored in the hopper. When the grinding machine body processes and grinds the soaked soybeans, the first, second, and third valves, as well as the vacuum suction fan, are opened. Water for processing is automatically supplied from the water supply pipe to the feed pipe via the water supply pipe to facilitate the grinding and pulping of the soaked soybeans. The vacuum suction fan draws a vacuum through the suction pipe into the vacuum feeding hopper, creating a negative pressure. The soaked soybeans are then drawn from the hopper into the vacuum feeding hopper through the second discharge port using the suction pipe installed on the suction port. They are then discharged into the grinding machine body along with the added water through the first discharge port for grinding. This provides the grinding machine body with automatic vacuum feeding during fermented bean curd production, eliminating the need for manual feeding. The feeding operation is simple, convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving, thereby reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a pulper for easy feeding includes a pulper body 1, a pulp outlet 2 at the front end of the pulper body 1, and a slag outlet 3 at the rear end of the pulper body 1. A feeding mechanism 5 is provided on the top surface of the pulper body 1, and the feeding mechanism 5 includes a vacuum feeding hopper 9, a hopper 14, a suction pipe 18, a vacuum suction fan 20, and a suction pipe 21. A second valve 13 is connected between the first discharge port 12 on the bottom surface of the vacuum feeding hopper 9 and the feed pipe 4 on the top surface of the pulper body 1. A suction pipe 18 is connected between the second discharge port 16 on the bottom surface of the hopper 14 and the suction port 11 on the right side wall of the vacuum feeding hopper 9. A suction pipe 21 is connected between the input end of the vacuum suction fan 20 and the suction port 10 on the top surface of the vacuum feeding hopper 9.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, a feed pipe 4 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the grinder body 1, and a water supply pipe 6 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the feed pipe 4. A first valve 7 is fixedly installed on the left end of the water supply pipe 6, and a water delivery pipe 8 is also fixedly installed on the first valve 7. When the first valve 7 installed on the water supply pipe 6 is opened, the water delivery pipe 8 can be used to transport water for processing and grinding the soaked soybeans into the feed pipe 4 through the water supply pipe 6. There is no need to manually add water into the grinder body 1. The flow rate of water can be controlled by the first valve 7 to avoid adding too much water and causing the slurry to become thin, so as to increase the concentration of soybean milk.
[0022] like Figure 3As shown, a suction port 10 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the vacuum feeding hopper 9, through which gas can be discharged from the vacuum feeding hopper 9. A suction port 11 is fixedly installed on the right side wall of the vacuum feeding hopper 9, through which soaked soybeans can be sucked into the vacuum feeding hopper 9 for storage. A first discharge port 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the vacuum feeding hopper 9, and a second valve 13 is fixedly installed between the first discharge port 12 and the feed pipe 4. Opening the second valve 13 allows the soaked soybeans in the vacuum feeding hopper 9 to be discharged into the feed pipe 4 through the first discharge port 12 and then enter the grinding machine body 1 for grinding.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, a support frame 15 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the silo 14. The support frame 15 can support the silo 14. A second discharge port 16 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the silo 14. A third valve 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second discharge port 16. Opening the third valve 17 at the bottom of the second discharge port 16 can discharge the pre-soaked soybeans stored in the silo 14 from the silo 14.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the suction pipe 18 is fixedly installed between the suction port 11 and the second discharge port 16. The soaked soybeans in the hopper 14 can be sucked out from the second discharge port 16 through the suction pipe 18 and transported to the vacuum feeding hopper 9 through the suction port 11 to achieve the purpose of automatic feeding.
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, a support base 19 is also fixedly installed on the right side of the support frame 15, and a vacuum suction fan 20 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support base 19. The suction pipe 21 is fixedly installed between the input end of the vacuum suction fan 20 and the suction port 10. When the vacuum suction fan 20 on the top surface of the support base 19 is turned on, the gas in the vacuum feeding hopper 9 can be sucked out from the suction port 10 through the vacuum suction fan 20 installed on the input end, so as to achieve vacuum treatment of the vacuum feeding hopper 9. After the vacuum negative pressure is generated inside the vacuum feeding hopper 9, the material in the bin 14 can be drawn out through the suction pipe 18 and enter the vacuum feeding hopper 9 to achieve the purpose of vacuum feeding, and can be used to replace the traditional manual feeding method.
[0026] The specific operating principle of the feeding mechanism 5 in conjunction with the grinding machine body 1 during fermented bean curd production is as follows:
[0027] Soaked soybeans are pre-stored in the hopper 14 on the right side of the grinder body 1. When the soaked soybeans are ground by the grinder body 1, the second valve 13 at the bottom of the first discharge port 12, the third valve 17 at the bottom of the second discharge port 16, and the vacuum suction fan 20 installed on the top surface of the support base 19 are opened. The vacuum suction fan 20 draws air from the suction port 10 installed on the top surface of the vacuum feeding hopper 9 through the suction pipe 21 installed on the input end to evacuate the interior of the vacuum feeding hopper 9. During the vacuum process, as the air inside the vacuum feeding hopper 9 is gradually extracted and a vacuum negative pressure is generated, the negative pressure formed inside the vacuum feeding hopper 9 will be transmitted through the suction port 11 to the suction pipe 18 installed on the suction port 11. The suction pipe 18 will extract the soaked soybeans through the second discharge port 16 at the bottom of the hopper 14, and allow the soaked soybeans to enter the vacuum feeding hopper 9 through the suction pipe 18 and the suction port 11. After soaking in the vacuum feeding hopper 9, the soybeans will pass through the first discharge port 16 at the bottom of the vacuum feeding hopper 9. After being discharged from the discharge port 12, the soybeans enter the feed pipe 4 installed on the top surface of the grinding machine body 1. At this time, the first valve 7 installed on the water supply pipe 6 on the left side of the feed pipe 4 can be opened, and water can be supplied from the water supply pipe 6 to the inside of the feed pipe 4 through the water supply pipe 8. The water, along with the soaked soybeans, enters the grinding machine body 1 through the feed pipe 4 for processing. The grinding machine body 1 rotates the filter bucket and the grinding disc inside the filter bucket by the motor, so that the lower grinding disc and the upper grinding disc work together to grind the soaked soybeans. The filter bucket filters the soybean residue, which is discharged through the residue outlet 3, while the soybean milk is discharged through the milk outlet 2. In this way, the soaked soybeans in the hopper 14 can be continuously fed into the grinding machine body 1 for processing. Thus, in the production of fermented bean curd, the grinding machine body 1 has an automatic vacuum feeding function, eliminating the need for manual feeding. The feeding operation is simple and convenient, saving time and labor, thereby not only reducing the labor intensity of the workers, but also improving the production efficiency.
[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, various improvements can be made to it without departing from the scope of the present utility model, and components can be replaced with equivalents or some technical features can be replaced with equivalents. All such improvements within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
