Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automated bean curd slicing devices, specifically an automated bean curd slicing device. Background Technology
[0002] Dried tofu is a traditional soy product and a delicacy in various Chinese cuisines. It is rich in nutrients, containing abundant protein, fat, and carbohydrates, as well as various minerals essential for the human body, such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. While soy products are increasingly popular today, existing equipment still has some shortcomings; for example…
[0003] For example, an automatic bean curd slicing device with announcement number CN221271263U, when in use, can complete the slicing of bean curd through the combined action of a first conveying mechanism, a processing plate, and a slicing mechanism. By slidably mounting the cutting blade on one side of the processing plate, and having the first drive assembly drive the mounting frame to move the cutting blade up and down along the trajectory of its guide rod, this slicing method allows the cutting blade to continuously slice the bean curd, preventing the slices from sticking together after being cut into pieces. This ensures the slicing quality of the bean curd and greatly improves the processing efficiency. To improve the efficiency of slicing dried bean curd, a slicing mechanism is installed directly above the processing plate, forming a processing opening between the slicing mechanism and the processing plate. This allows the first conveying mechanism to transport the corresponding dried bean curd to this processing opening for slicing. While this device can be effectively used to slice dried bean curd, it is usually necessary to manually align the dried bean curd when placing it on the conveying structure before slicing. This is cumbersome as it requires manual placement and alignment. Therefore, we propose an automated dried bean curd slicing device to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automated bean curd slicing device, including a base 1 and a frame 2 connected above by bolts;
[0022] The frame 2 has a feeding belt 3 inside, and a motor 9 for driving a single rotating roller 8 is installed on the frame 2. Two sets of rotating rollers 8 are rotatably connected to both ends inside the frame 2. The rotating rollers 8 are used to drive the feeding belt 3. An adjustment assembly 4 for adjusting the position of the dried bean curd is installed above the base 1. The adjustment assembly 4 includes a first cylinder 401, a connector 402, a connecting plate 403, a slider 409, a slide rail 408, a connecting block 404, an adjustment rod 405, a support plate 406, a fixed base 407, an assembly plate 410, and a push plate 411. The first cylinder 401 is installed above the base 1. 01 A connector 402 is provided at the front end. The connector 402 is connected to the connecting plate 403 by bolts. Several sets of slide rails 408 are provided above the base 1. A slider 409 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 408. A fixed seat 407 is provided above the base 1. A support plate 406 is located in the middle of the fixed seat 407. Adjusting rods 405 are symmetrically hinged at both ends of the support plate 406. The other end of the adjusting rod 405 is hinged to the connecting plate 403 through a connecting block 404. Assembly plates 410 are connected to both sides of the connecting plate 403 by bolts. The upper end of the assembly plate 410 is connected to the push plate 411 by bolts.
[0023] In use, the dried bean curd to be sliced is placed on the feeding belt 3. The motor 9 drives the rotating roller 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the feeding belt 3 to rotate, conveying the dried bean curd. Simultaneously, during this conveying process, the first cylinders 401 on both sides of the base 1 drive the connecting piece 402 to move. The connecting piece 402 then drives the connecting plate 403 to move, causing the connecting plate 403 to move the slider 409 within the slide rail 408. This allows the connecting plate 403 to move along the slide rail 408. Simultaneously, the connecting plate 403 is connected via a hinge shaft. The connecting block 404 is adjusted, which in turn drives the adjusting rod 405 to adjust. At this time, the connecting block 404 at the tail of the adjusting rod 405 drives the support plate 406 to rotate around the fixed seat 407 through the hinge shaft, which drives the connecting plates 403 on both sides to move inside the slide rail 408 through the slider 409. At this time, the connecting plate 403 drives the upper assembly plate 410 to move, which in turn drives the upper push plate 411 to move. The push plates 411 on both sides move towards the middle at the same time, and the bean curd above the feeding belt 3 is straightened.
[0024] A guide assembly 5 for guiding the dried bean curd is provided above the frame 2. The guide assembly 5 includes a support frame 501, threaded rods 502, a movable plate 503, and a guide roller 504. The support frame 501 is provided above the frame 2. Two threaded rods 502 are provided on both sides above the support frame 501. The movable plate 503 is provided below the threaded rods 502. The lower end of the threaded rods 502 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the movable plate 503. The movable plate 503 is slidably connected to the support frame 501. The guide roller 504 is provided below the movable plate 503. The two sides of the guide roller 504 are rotatably connected to the movable plate 503. The length of the guide roller 504 is less than that of the frame 2. A guide assembly for guiding the dried bean curd is provided above the base 1. The slicing assembly 6 includes a base 1, a frame 2, a second cylinder 601, a push rod 602, a fixing plate 603, a mounting plate 604, and a slicing blade 605. The second cylinder 601 is arranged on both sides above the base 1. The lower part of the second cylinder 601 is connected to the base 1 by bolts. The push rod 602 is arranged above the second cylinder 601. The push rod 602 is slidably connected to the fixing plate 603. The fixing plate 603 is connected to the frame 2 by bolts. The mounting plate 604 is arranged above the push rod 602. The slicing blade 605 is arranged above the mounting plate 604. The slicing blade 605 is connected to a double-ended bolt. The mounting plate 604 is also connected to the double-ended bolt. The double-ended bolt is connected with a nut.
[0025] After being aligned, the tofu continues to be conveyed by the feeding belt 3 and enters the area below the front support frame 501. It is then guided by the guide roller 504 inside the support frame 501, making the tofu more stable during slicing and ensuring a stable entry during the slicing process. Additionally, due to varying thicknesses of the tofu, the threaded rod 502 above the support frame 501 can be rotated. The threaded rod 502 drives the moving plate 503 below to slide within the support frame 501, allowing adjustment of the height of the guide roller 504. The system guides bean curd of different thicknesses. The bean curd guided by the guide roller 504 is then driven by the second cylinder 601 to slide the top rod 602 inside the fixed plate 603. At the same time, the top rod 602 drives the upper mounting plate 604 to move, which in turn drives the slicing blade 605 on the surface of the mounting plate 604 to move. The slicing blade 605, in conjunction with the feeding belt 3, slices the bean curd. The reciprocating up and down movement of the second cylinder 601 drives the slicing blade 605 to reciprocate up and down, thus completing the continuous slicing of the bean curd.
[0026] Working Principle: When using the automated bean curd slicing device, the bean curd to be sliced is placed on the feeding belt 3. The motor 9 drives the rotating roller 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the feeding belt 3 to rotate, conveying the bean curd. Simultaneously, during this conveying process, the first cylinders 401 on both sides of the base 1 drive the connecting piece 402 to move. The connecting piece 402 then drives the connecting plate 403 to move, causing the connecting plate 403 to move the slider 409 within the slide rail 408. This allows the connecting plate 403 to move along the slide rail 408. Simultaneously, the connecting plate 403 drives the connecting block 404 to adjust via the hinge shaft, causing the connecting block 404 to drive the adjusting rod 405 to adjust. At this time, the connecting block 404 at the tail of the adjusting rod 405 drives the support plate 406 to rotate around the fixed seat 407 via the hinge shaft, causing the connecting plates 403 on both sides to move inside the slide rail 408 via the slider 409. At this time, the connecting plate 403 drives the upper assembly plate 410 to move, causing the two assembly plates 410 on both sides to drive the upper push plate 411 to move. The push plates 411 on both sides move towards the middle at the same time, moving the feed belt 3 above... The tofu is straightened and then conveyed by the feeding belt 3. It then enters the area below the front support frame 501 and is guided by the guide roller 504 inside the support frame 501, making the tofu more stable during slicing and ensuring a stable entry during the slicing process. Additionally, due to varying thicknesses of the tofu, the threaded rod 502 on top of the support frame 501 can be rotated. The threaded rod 502 drives the moving plate 503 below to slide inside the support frame 501, allowing adjustment of the height of the guide roller 504 to facilitate guiding tofu of different thicknesses. The bean curd guided by the guide roller 504 slides inside the fixed plate 603 via the second cylinder 601 driving the top rod 602. At the same time, the top rod 602 drives the upper mounting plate 604 to move, causing the mounting plate 604 to drive the slicing blade 605 on its surface to move. The slicing blade 605, in conjunction with the feeding belt 3, slices the bean curd. The reciprocating up and down movement of the second cylinder 601 drives the slicing blade 605 to reciprocate up and down, completing the continuous slicing of the bean curd, thus completing a series of tasks.
