Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yeast production technology, and in particular to a yeast block pressing mold. Background Technology
[0002] Aspergillus conidia are transferred into strongly cooked white rice, and then kept warm to allow mycelia to grow on the rice grains. This is called yeast starter. Because the amylase produced by Aspergillus saccharifies the starch in the rice, yeast starter is commonly used to make wine, sweet wine, and soy sauce. During the yeast starter production process, loose yeast starter needs to be compressed into blocks for easy transportation and storage.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN215593029U discloses a device for manufacturing brewing koji blocks, including a housing and a first hydraulic cylinder, a second hydraulic cylinder, a mold frame, a push plate, a support platform, a motor, and a hydraulic control box disposed within the housing; the housing sidewall has a feed inlet and a discharge outlet; the first hydraulic cylinder is vertically arranged and connected to the top wall of the housing, and a pressure plate is provided on the bottom surface of the hydraulic rod of the first hydraulic cylinder; the mold frame is disposed below the pressure plate and is adapted to the size of the pressure plate; the mold frame is a hollow structure formed by vertical sidewalls; the push plate is disposed on the bottom surface of the mold frame and is adapted to the size of the mold frame; one end of the push plate is connected to the hydraulic rod of the second hydraulic cylinder, and the other end has a vertical side plate facing downwards, the side plate being opposite to the discharge outlet; the second hydraulic cylinder is horizontally arranged on the support platform; the motor and the hydraulic control box are disposed below the support platform, and the output end of the motor is drivenly connected to the hydraulic control box; the hydraulic control box is drivenly connected to the first hydraulic cylinder and the second hydraulic cylinder. The aforementioned equipment for manufacturing brewing koji blocks can produce koji blocks efficiently and with high quality, thus providing a cost-effective koji block manufacturing equipment for small and medium-sized wineries.
[0004] In the aforementioned utility model patent, the equipment for manufacturing brewing koji blocks is used so that the raw materials are introduced into the receiving cavity formed by the mold frame and the push plate through the feed port. The first hydraulic cylinder is activated to make the pressure plate, mold frame and push plate cooperate to press the raw materials into koji blocks. After pressing is completed, the second hydraulic cylinder is activated and drives the push plate to move horizontally so that the koji blocks fall to the support platform. Then the push plate pushes the koji blocks to be discharged along the discharge port. Because the koji blocks separate from the mold frame under the action of gravity after being pressed and fall from the mold frame to the support platform, they will collide with the support platform, which will cause the koji blocks to break or even crack, affecting the integrity of the koji blocks. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a koji block pressing mold, which solves the problem of koji block breakage during demolding after pressing, affecting the integrity of the koji block.
[0006] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a yeast block pressing mold includes a base and a platform disposed on the base. Two vertical fixed baffles are spaced apart on the platform and are parallel to each other. A vertical guide rod is also provided on the platform. A fixed sleeve and a movable sleeve that can be raised and lowered are sleeved on the guide rod. Movable baffles are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the fixed sleeve, and the two movable baffles are located on opposite sides of the fixed baffle. Two connecting rods are rotatably connected to the movable sleeve. The ends of the connecting rods away from the movable sleeve are rotatably connected to the movable baffles one by one. The base is also provided with a drive assembly that is pulsatorically connected to the movable sleeve. When the drive assembly drives the movable sleeve to move up and down along the guide rod, it drives the movable baffles to rotate and move closer to or away from the fixed baffles. When the movable baffles are close to the fixed baffles and fit against the fixed baffles, the fixed baffles and the movable baffles form a frame shape.
[0007] Furthermore, the platform has mounting grooves on opposite sides, mounting holes in the mounting grooves, and limiting portions on the fixing baffle that cooperate with the mounting grooves, with through holes aligned with the mounting holes.
[0008] Furthermore, the platform is provided with two clearance slots spaced apart, and the two clearance slots are respectively located on opposite sides of the fixed baffle, and the movable baffles are respectively arranged in the clearance slots.
[0009] Furthermore, when the movable sleeve moves the movable baffle away from the fixed baffle, the movable baffle is received into the clearance groove, and the surface of the movable baffle is flush with the upper surface of the platform.
[0010] Furthermore, the movable baffle has a mounting part on the side away from the fixed baffle, and the mounting part is rotatably connected to the fixed sleeve.
[0011] Furthermore, the mounting part is provided with a connecting rod, and the connecting rod extends away from the movable baffle. The end of the connecting rod away from the movable baffle is rotatably connected to the connecting rod.
[0012] Furthermore, the length of the movable baffle is greater than the distance between the two fixed baffles.
[0013] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a cylinder and a piston rod disposed at the output end of the cylinder, wherein the end of the piston rod away from the cylinder cooperates with the movable sleeve.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: By using a driving component to drive the movable sleeve to move vertically on the guide rod, the movable baffle rotates relative to the fixed sleeve. When the movable baffle rotates to the position where it is in contact with the fixed baffle, the two fixed baffles and the two movable baffles form a frame. The raw material is poured into the frame formed by the fixed baffles and the movable baffles and the raw material is pressed compactly to obtain the yeast block. After the yeast block is pressed, the driving component drives the movable sleeve to move and drive the movable baffle to rotate away from the fixed baffle, so that the movable baffle moves away from the pressed yeast block. At this time, the yeast block can be pushed out from the space between the two fixed baffles, avoiding collisions when the yeast block is demolded. It solves the technical problem of damage affecting the integrity of the yeast block when demolding after pressing and forming. It produces the technical effect of making it easy to demold the pressed yeast block and ensuring that the yeast block remains intact during the demolding process. Moreover, it is simple to operate and convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a yeast block pressing mold, which is used to contain the raw materials to be pressed during the yeast block pressing process and to squeeze the raw materials into blocks during pressing.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The yeast block pressing mold includes a base 1 and a platform 11 mounted on the base 1. Two vertical fixed baffles 2 are spaced apart and parallel to each other on the platform 11. A vertical guide rod 12 is also mounted on the platform 11. A fixed sleeve 3 and a movable sleeve 4 are fitted onto the guide rod 12. Movable baffles 5 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the fixed sleeve 3, and the two movable baffles 5 are located on opposite sides of the fixed baffles 2. The movable sleeve 4 rotates... The moving connection has two connecting rods 41. The end of the connecting rod 41 away from the movable sleeve 4 is rotatably connected to the movable baffle 5 in a corresponding manner. The base 1 is also provided with a drive assembly 6 that is pulsatorically connected to the movable sleeve 4. When the drive assembly 6 drives the movable sleeve 4 to move up and down along the guide rod 12, it drives the movable baffle 5 to rotate and move closer to or away from the fixed baffle 2. When the movable baffle 5 is close to the fixed baffle 2 and fits against the fixed baffle 2, the fixed baffle 2 and the movable baffle 5 form a frame shape.
[0023] Specifically, the operation steps for pressing yeast blocks using the yeast block pressing mold provided in this embodiment are as follows: First, start the drive assembly 6 to make the movable sleeve 4 rise vertically on the guide rod 12 under the drive of the drive assembly 6. At this time, the connecting rod 41 drives the movable baffle 5 to rotate relative to the fixed sleeve 3 and move closer to the fixed baffle 2. When the movable baffle 5 rotates to the position where it is in contact with the fixed baffle 2, the two fixed baffles 2 and the two movable baffles 5 form a frame. Then, the raw material is poured into the frame formed by the fixed baffles 2 and the movable baffles 5 to press the raw material firmly and obtain the yeast block. After the yeast block is pressed, start the drive assembly 6 again to drive the movable sleeve 4 to descend along the guide rod 12. At this time, the movable baffle 5 rotates away from the fixed baffle 2, so that the movable baffle 5 moves away from the pressed yeast block and pushes the yeast block out from the space between the two fixed baffles 2. The yeast block pressing mold provided in this embodiment can prevent the yeast blocks from colliding during demolding, prevent the yeast blocks from being damaged or cracked, facilitate the demolding of the pressed yeast blocks while ensuring that the yeast blocks remain intact during the demolding process, and is simple to operate and easy to use.
[0024] like Figure 3As shown, the platform 11 has mounting grooves 13 on opposite sides, each with a mounting hole. The fixed baffle 2 has a limiting part 21 that mates with the mounting grooves 13, and the limiting part 21 has a through hole 22 aligned with the mounting hole. The mounting grooves 13 on opposite sides of the platform 11 allow the fixed baffle 2 to be installed. The limiting part 21 engages with the mounting groove 13 to position the fixed baffle 2. After the limiting part 21 is inserted into the mounting groove 13, the mounting hole aligns with the through hole 22. Screws or other connectors can then be used to pass through the through hole 22 and engage with the mounting hole to install the fixed baffle 2 onto the platform 11. This facilitates operation while ensuring reliable engagement between the fixed baffle 2 and the platform 11.
[0025] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 3 The platform 11 has two clearance grooves 14 spaced apart, with the two clearance grooves 14 located on opposite sides of the fixed baffle 2. The movable baffles 5 are correspondingly positioned within the clearance grooves 14. By providing clearance grooves 14 on the platform 11 for the movable baffles 5 to pass through, the movable baffles 5 enter the clearance grooves 14 when moving away from the fixed baffle 2. This prevents the movable baffles 5 from obstructing the movement of the yeast blocks on the platform 11, allowing the pressed yeast blocks to be smoothly removed from the yeast block pressing mold.
[0026] In this embodiment, when the movable sleeve 4 moves the movable baffle 5 away from the fixed baffle 2, the movable baffle 5 is received into the clearance groove 14, and the surface of the movable baffle 5 is flush with the upper surface of the platform 11. When it is necessary to remove the yeast block, the movable baffle 5 is rotated to a position flush with the upper surface of the platform 11, so that the movable baffle 5 supports the yeast block during the process of the yeast block being pushed, preventing the yeast block from falling from the clearance groove 14 to the bottom of the platform 11 and causing damage to the yeast block.
[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the movable baffle 5 has a mounting part 51 on the side away from the fixed baffle 2, and the mounting part 51 is rotatably connected to the fixed sleeve 3. The mounting part 51 is located on the side of the movable baffle 5 away from the fixed baffle 2, and a first rotating shaft is mounted on the mounting part 51. The rotatable connection between the movable baffle 5 and the fixed sleeve 3 is achieved through the cooperation of the first rotating shaft with the hole on the fixed sleeve 3, ensuring a reliable connection between the movable baffle 5 and the fixed sleeve 3.
[0028] In detail, the mounting part 51 is provided with a connecting rod 52, which extends away from the movable baffle 5. The end of the connecting rod 52 away from the movable baffle 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 41. The mounting part 51 is provided with the connecting rod 52 for connecting the connecting rod 41. The connecting rod 52 extends away from the movable baffle 5, and the end of the connecting rod 52 away from the movable baffle 5 is provided with a second rotating shaft. The connecting rod 41 is rotatably connected to the movable baffle 5 through the cooperation of the second rotating shaft with the hole on the connecting rod 41, ensuring the stable cooperation between the connecting rod 41 and the movable baffle 5.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 The length of the movable baffle 5 is greater than the distance between the two fixed baffles 2. Setting the length of the movable baffle 5 to be greater than the distance between the two fixed baffles 2 ensures that when the movable baffle 5 rotates to a position where it is in contact with the fixed baffles 2 under the drive of the drive assembly 6, both ends of the movable baffle 5 are respectively in contact with the two fixed baffles 2. This improves the sealing of the frame formed by the fixed baffles 2 and the movable baffle 5, preventing raw materials from leaking out from the gap between the fixed baffles 2 and the movable baffle 5 during the pressing process.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 6 includes a cylinder 61 and a piston rod 62 disposed at the output end of the cylinder 61. The end of the piston rod 62 away from the cylinder 61 engages with the movable sleeve 4. The piston rod 62 is extended or retracted into the cylinder 61 by the cylinder 61, causing the movable sleeve 4 to slide on the guide rod 12. When the piston rod 62 extends out of the cylinder 61, it pushes the movable sleeve 4 upward along the guide rod 12, causing the movable baffle 5 to rotate towards the fixed baffle 2. When the piston rod 62 retracts into the cylinder 61, it causes the movable sleeve 4 to descend along the guide rod 12. At this time, the movable baffle 5 rotates away from the fixed baffle 2 under the influence of the movable sleeve 4. Therefore, the rotation of the movable baffle 5 can be easily controlled by moving the piston rod 62 driven by the cylinder 61, facilitating the operation of the yeast block pressing mold.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
