Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing technology, and more specifically, it relates to a tofu processing and cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] A tofu cutting device is a specialized machine used to cut whole blocks of tofu into specific shapes and sizes. This device is widely used in the food processing industry, especially in tofu production plants or large kitchens, to improve the processing efficiency and consistency of tofu products. Existing tofu cutting devices typically use a fixed-size blade module, which cuts the tofu into blocks through the mutual squeezing force between the blades and the tofu. When it is necessary to change the size of the tofu blocks, the entire blade module needs to be replaced to achieve the desired effect.

[0003] Based on the above, existing tofu processing and cutting devices typically require replacing the entire blade module when changing the cutting size. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also increases operational complexity and cost. Each blade module replacement necessitates machine downtime for adjustment, leading to reduced production efficiency. Furthermore, with frequent changes in size requirements, the constant installation and debugging further impacts production continuity. Utility Model Content

[0062] The lead screw and nut block 2 is a block-shaped structure with threaded through holes in the vertical direction. The lead screw and nut block 2 is slidably connected to the inside of the blade spacing adjustment component housing 11. The blade spacing adjustment lead screw 1 is engaged in the threaded through hole of the lead screw and nut block 2. The blade spacing adjustment lead screw 1 and the lead screw and nut block 2 together constitute the lead screw and nut transmission mechanism. In use, if the user wants to adjust the blade spacing to change the size or shape of the tofu block, he can operate the blade spacing adjustment handwheel 14 to rotate and drive the blade spacing adjustment lead screw 1 to rotate.

The angle adjustment drive worm 5 and the angle adjustment drive worm gear 6 together constitute a worm gear transmission mechanism. In use, if the user wants to adjust the angle of the blanking plate 15, he can operate the angle adjustment handwheel 10 to rotate, which drives the angle adjustment drive worm 5 to rotate. Since the angle adjustment drive worm 5 and the angle adjustment drive worm gear 6 together constitute a worm gear transmission mechanism, the angle adjustment drive worm gear 6 rotates. Its function is to transmit the rotation of the angle adjustment handwheel 10 to the rotation of the angle adjustment drive worm gear 6, and at the same time, make the component have a self-locking characteristic.

[0072] The feeding angle adjustment component also includes:

[0073] Angle adjusting screw 7 has its upper end rotating and hinged to the lower end of angle adjusting slider 16.

[0074] The specific usage and function of this first embodiment are as follows:

[0075] In use, if the user wants to adjust the blade spacing to change the size or shape of the tofu blocks, they can operate the blade spacing adjustment handwheel 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the blade spacing adjustment screw 1 to rotate. Since the blade spacing adjustment screw 1 and the screw nut block 2 together form a screw nut transmission mechanism, the screw nut block 2 moves up and down inside the blade spacing adjustment assembly housing 11. Its function is to transmit the rotation of the blade spacing adjustment handwheel 14 to the up and down movement of the screw nut block 2, while also giving the assembly a self-locking characteristic. The up and down movement of the screw nut block 2 drives the rightmost first... The right end of the scissor bar 3 moves up and down. Since the first scissor bar 3 and the second scissor bar 4 together form a scissor mechanism, the scissor mechanism formed by the first scissor bar 3 and the second scissor bar 4 can perform telescopic movement. Its function is to transmit the up and down movement of the lead screw nut block 2 as the telescopic movement of the scissor mechanism. When the scissor mechanism formed by the first scissor bar 3 and the second scissor bar 4 telescopically moves, it can simultaneously drive several vertical blades 18 to adjust the distance by equal distance along the horizontal blade 17 using their own plate-shaped slots. Its function is to utilize the scissor mechanism. The telescopic principle and the cooperation between the horizontal blade 17 and the vertical blade 18 enable the adjustment of the blade spacing between several vertical blades 18, thereby realizing the function of blade spacing adjustment of the device. If the user wants to adjust the angle of the blanking plate 15, the angle adjustment handwheel 10 can be operated to rotate, which drives the angle adjustment drive worm 5 to rotate. Since the angle adjustment drive worm 5 and the angle adjustment drive worm wheel 6 together constitute a worm gear transmission mechanism, the angle adjustment drive worm wheel 6 rotates. Its function is to transmit the rotation of the angle adjustment handwheel 10 to the rotation of the angle adjustment drive worm wheel 6, and at the same time, the component has a self-locking characteristic. When the angle adjustment drive worm wheel 6 rotates, since the threaded through hole of the angle adjustment drive worm wheel 6 and the angle adjustment screw 7 together constitute a screw nut transmission mechanism, the angle adjustment screw 7 can move up and down, thereby driving the angle adjustment slider 16 to slide back and forth along the bottom of the blanking plate 15.
