Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tofu preparation technology, and in particular to a tofu preparation coagulation device. Background Technology

[0002] The proteins in soy milk exist in colloidal form. Adding a coagulant to soy milk causes the protein molecules to aggregate and cross-link, forming a network structure that encapsulates water and other substances, thus transforming the soy milk from a liquid state into a solid gel, i.e., tofu. This process involves chemical changes such as protein denaturation and coagulation.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application CN201822209177.9 proposes a soy product coagulation device, including a coagulation tank, a support, and a stirrer. The coagulation tank holds soy milk, the support is installed at the opening of the tank, and the stirrer is mounted on the support and can rotate on the support. The stirrer includes a positioning hole, a soy milk inlet, a soy milk tray, a stirring rod, blades, and a soy milk outlet. The positioning hole is located at the top of the stirrer, and a handle is installed on the positioning hole. Rotating the handle rotates the stirrer. The soy milk tray is located at the position where the stirrer connects to the support. The stirrer has a hollow structure, and the bottom of the stirrer is a closed structure. There is a soy milk inlet at the bottom of the inner side of the soy milk tray. The stirring rod is connected below the soy milk tray, and blades are installed at the bottom of the stirring rod. A soy milk outlet is provided on the blades, and the soy milk outlet connects to the hollow structure of the stirrer. The soy milk from the soy milk tray flows out from the soy milk outlet after passing through the hollow structure of the stirrer. However, this device is prone to spillage when the coagulant is poured in while stirring, and the device requires manual stirring, resulting in low efficiency and uneven coagulation.

[0026] This utility model proposes a tofu preparation coagulation device 100.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the tofu preparation coagulation device 100 includes a rotating base 10 and a support 20. The rotating base 10 is provided with a storage tank 60 for storing cooked soy milk. The rotating base 10 can drive the storage tank 60 to rotate. The support 20 is located on one side of the rotating base 10. The top of the support 20 is provided with a pusher 21. The output end of the pusher 21 is provided with a mounting platform 22. The mounting platform 22 is located directly above the storage tank 60. The bottom of the mounting platform 22 is provided with a high-pressure pump 30. The high-pressure pump 30 is connected to a coagulant tank 32. The output end of the high-pressure pump 30 is provided with a spraying component 40.

[0028] Driven by the pusher 21, the mounting platform 22 moves the spraying component 40 down into the storage tank 60. The high-pressure pump 30 draws coagulant towards the spraying component 40 for grouting, and at the same time as grouting, the rotating base 10 drives the storage tank 60 to rotate.

[0029] In this embodiment, the rotating base 10 is equipped with a driving component 11, and the output end of the driving component 11 is provided with a tray 13, which is used to place the storage bucket 60. The driving component 11 can be a common geared motor, capable of directly driving the tray 13 to rotate, thereby causing the storage bucket 60 to rotate. It should be noted that a load-bearing plate 12 is provided between the rotating base 10 and the tray 13 to prevent the weight of the storage bucket 60 from being borne by the driving component 11, thus preventing damage to the driving component 11.

[0030] The bracket 20 is shaped like a "7". The pusher 21 can be an electric push rod. When the pusher 21 is activated and extends outward, it pushes the mounting platform 22 downward, causing the spraying component 40 to move down into the storage tank 60. The high-pressure pump 30 draws coagulant from the coagulant tank 32 and sprays it out from the spraying component 40 to apply the coagulant. While spraying, the storage tank 60 rotates slowly under the drive of the drive component 11. The spraying component 40 is equivalent to a stirring roller, gently stirring the mixture of soy milk and coagulant in the storage tank 60 to ensure that the soy milk and coagulant are fully mixed. After standing for a period of time, the soy milk will gradually coagulate into tofu.

[0031] It should be noted that the coagulant can be gypsum slurry made from gypsum and water.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the output end of the high-pressure pump 30 is provided with an adapter 31, and the adapter 31 is connected to the spraying component 40.

[0033] In this embodiment, the spraying component 40 includes a main rod 41 and three spraying strips 42, which are detachably connected to the main rod 41. Each spraying strip 42 has a plurality of spraying holes 43, which are arranged along the length of the spraying strip 42 and spaced apart.

[0034] Understandably, the spray holes 43 at different positions on the spray bar 42 can spray material at different heights within the storage container 60, resulting in more uniform dispensing of the slurry. Furthermore, several horizontal strips 44 are located on the spray bar 42 on both sides. These horizontal strips 44 are staggered from the spray holes 43 and are perpendicular to the spray bar 42, allowing the spray component 40 to act as a stirring roller, gently stirring the soy milk and coagulant as the storage container 40 slowly rotates under the drive of the drive component 11.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting platform 22 is provided with two electric heating tubes 50, which are respectively located on one side of the spray bar 42 on both sides and oriented in the same direction as the spray bar 42.

[0036] In this embodiment, a mobile power supply can be provided on the mounting platform 22 to provide power to the heating tube 50 and the high-pressure pump 30. The heating tube 50 controls the temperature inside the storage tank 60, so that a constant temperature is maintained during grouting, thereby improving grouting efficiency.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, a through hole 14 is provided on the side wall of the tray 13, and a fixing member 15 is provided in the through hole 14.

[0038] In this embodiment, the through hole 14 has a built-in thread, and the fixing member 15 can be a bolt, with the two connected by threads. It can be understood that by tightening the fixing member 15 inward, the fixing members 15 on both sides can fix the storage bucket 60 placed on the tray 13, and can ensure that the tray 13 can drive the storage bucket 60 to rotate when it rotates, avoiding slippage that would prevent the storage bucket 60 from rotating.

[0039] Working principle: When the cooked soy milk cools to 80-90℃, it is poured into the storage tank 60. Then, the pusher 21 is activated to push the sprayer 40 downward and into the storage tank 60. Then, the high-pressure pump 30 is activated to draw the coagulant towards the sprayer 40 for coagulation. At the same time, the heating element 50 and the drive unit 11 are activated. When the storage tank is slowly rotated under the drive of the drive unit 11, the sprayer 40 acts as a stirring roller to gently stir the soy milk and coagulant, making the coagulation more uniform.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
