Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of firm tofu production technology, and in particular to a quantitative tofu curd feeding device for a firm tofu production line. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese patent document CN119190888A discloses a quantitative feeding device for a firm tofu production line, including a base, a support box, a processing box, a top plate, a ball screw nut pair, a meshing component, and a quantitative feeding component. One end of the support box is fixedly connected to the base, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top plate. The processing box is movably connected to the base. Because one end of the support box is fixedly connected to the base, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top plate, and the processing box is movably connected to the base, multiple processing boxes can be placed on the base for feeding control. At the same time, the ball screw nut pair is drivenly connected to the base, and a meshing component is provided on the outer periphery of the ball screw nut pair. The quantitative feeding component is located on one side of the support box and controls the feeding frequency of the processing box through periodic motion. Therefore, different quantitative feeding components can be controlled to control the feeding rate, which is convenient for producing firm tofu of different qualities.

[0003] However, the aforementioned equipment, including some existing equipment, uses a fixed height design in the traditional tofu production line, which makes it difficult to adapt to molds and packaging containers of different specifications (such as the depth difference between boxed tofu and slab molds). This rigid structure requires manual adjustment of the workstation layout during production changes, which not only reduces production efficiency but also easily causes material spillage or uneven molding due to height misalignment, thus restricting the demand for flexible upgrades to the production line. Therefore, we propose a quantitative tofu-feeding equipment for traditional tofu production lines. Utility Model Content

[0026] The lifting mechanism 3 also includes a first motor 32, a limiting plate 35, and a limiting groove 36. The first motor 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed plate 31 located on the upper side. The rotating shaft of the first motor 32 is connected to the lead screw 33 for transmission. A set of limiting plates 35 are fixedly installed on both outer surfaces of the movable plate 34. Two sets of limiting grooves 36 are opened on the front side of the mounting plate 1. Both sets of limiting plates 35 are engaged in the corresponding limiting grooves 36. A fixing ring 5 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the feeding cylinder 2. A T-shaped block 6 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixing ring 5. A T-shaped groove is opened on the movable plate 34. The T-shaped block 6 is engaged in the T-shaped groove. A weight sensor 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the T-shaped groove on the movable plate 34. The T-shaped block 6 is mounted on the weight sensor 7. A buzzer alarm 8 is fixedly installed on the outer front surface of the mounting plate 1. The lifting mechanism 3 allows for adjustment of the height of the feeding cylinder 2 on the production line according to production line requirements, enabling adaptive feeding to different molds or packaging containers. This ensures the accuracy and stability of the feeding process, solving the problem of existing equipment in the tofu production line using a fixed height design, which is difficult to adapt to different specifications of molds and packaging containers. This rigid structure requires manual adjustment of the workstation layout during production changes, which not only reduces production efficiency but also easily causes material spillage or uneven molding due to height misalignment. This improves the practicality of the equipment. The quantitative feeding mechanism 4 controls the frequency and speed of the second motor 46, adjusting the amount and frequency of tofu curd fed into the feeding cylinder 2 at one time, improving the flexibility of the equipment, ensuring the effectiveness of the equipment, and facilitating its promotion and use.

[0027] The quantitative feeding mechanism 4 includes a connecting rod 41, a sealing block 42, a connecting plate 43, a spring 44, a vertical plate 45, a second motor 46, and a cam 47. The connecting rod 41 is movably inserted through the top of the feeding cylinder 2. The sealing block 42 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod 41. The bottom of the feeding cylinder 2 has a discharge port, and the sealing block 42 fits into the discharge port.

The cam 47 abuts against the connecting plate 43.

[0028] Working principle: The equipment is installed on the tofu production line via mounting plate 1. As needed, the first motor 32 is started, driving the lead screw 33 to rotate, which in turn moves the movable plate 34 up and down, causing the feeding cylinder 2 to rise and adjust its height. During operation, the second motor 46 is started, driving the cam 47 to rotate. When the cam 47 lifts the connecting plate 43, the connecting plate 43, along with the sealing block 42, is lifted via the connecting rod 41, opening the discharge port at the bottom of the feeding cylinder 2, allowing the tofu to be fed out. When the cam 47 returns to its original position, the sealing block 42 blocks the discharge port under the rebound action of the spring 44. The rotation speed and frequency of the second motor 46 are controlled to achieve quantitative feeding. The T-shaped block 6 presses on the weight sensor 7. When the weight sensor 7 detects that the tofu in the feeding cylinder 2 is almost gone, it sounds an alarm through the buzzer alarm 8 to remind the user to add more tofu.

[0029] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
