Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic cutting and packaging, specifically a tofu turning and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Tofu is a delicious and nutritious food that people often eat in their daily lives. In automated production processes, the produced tofu is often cut into blocks, packaged, and sealed for easy transportation and sale.

[0003] The original tofu cutting process first flips the tofu from the mold box onto a flat plate. The tofu is then placed in the cutting area by hand while the plate is held up. During this process, the tofu is moved manually after being flipped onto the plate. This movement causes the tofu to shift in position on the plate, resulting in inconsistent tofu sizes in the subsequent cutting process. Furthermore, the existing tofu cutting and packaging machine uses a scraper or pusher to convey the tofu after it is flipped onto the plate. During the scraping process, the friction between the tofu and the bottom plate is high, which poses a technical problem of breakage. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a tofu turning and conveying device, which aims to further reduce the breakage problem during the scraping and pushing process of tofu cutting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A tofu turning and conveying device includes: a fixed frame, a turning mechanism for turning a tofu box fixed on one side of the fixed frame, and a conveying motor for conveying tofu fixed on the other side.
