[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 A suspended waste collection device includes a frame 1, an adjusting frame 2 slidably connected to the inner side of the frame 1, and a pump body 11 fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the frame 1 by bolts; a bearing plate 6 slidably connected to the top of the adjusting frame 2, and one side of the bearing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the adjusting frame 2 by a folded net 18; a square sliding rod 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting frame 2, and a sliding sleeve 8 is sleeved on one end of the square sliding rod 3; a suction pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding sleeve 8; the pump body 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the frame 1 by bolts, and the inlet of the pump body 11 communicates with the top side of the suction pipe 9; a collection frame 12 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 near the outlet of the pump body 11; cylinders 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the frame 1 by bolts, and the output shafts of the two cylinders 17 are fixedly connected between the bottom of the frame 1 and the bottom of the adjusting frame 2.
[0024] In the process of making dried bean curd, fermentation is first carried out in frame 1. When it is necessary to remove suspended waste from the liquid surface, two cylinders 17 are activated. These two cylinders 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting frame 2 through their output shafts, thereby moving the adjusting frame 2 downward so that the suction port of the suction pipe 9 contacts the liquid surface. At this time, the pump body 11 is activated. The inlet of the pump body 11 is connected to the top side of the suction pipe 9 to suck up and collect the suspended waste from the liquid surface. The operator can manually adjust the position of the sliding sleeve 8 on the square sliding rod 3, thereby moving the suction pipe 9 to achieve uniform collection of waste from the liquid surface. The sucked waste is pumped into the collection frame 12 by the pump body 11. Alternatively, the adjusting frame 2 can be submerged in the liquid, and the support plate 6 can be moved to unfold the folded mesh 18, giving the adjusting frame 2 a filtering function. After filtration is completed, the support plate 6 is fixed in place, and the adjusting frame 2 is moved upward again using cylinder 17 to filter out the suspended waste.
[0025] Furthermore, a discharge valve 13 is installed on one side of the lower part of the collection frame 12, and a bottom valve 19 is installed on one side of the bottom of the frame 1. When suspended waste is pumped into the collection frame 12 by the pump body 11, the waste can be discharged by opening the discharge valve 13, while the bottom valve 19 is used to discharge the liquid in the frame 1, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance. This achieves the effect of convenient discharge of waste and liquid, avoids the tedious operation of manual dumping, and improves the ease of use and cleaning efficiency of the equipment.
[0026] Furthermore, sliders 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the adjusting frame 2, and both sliders 4 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1 through the sliding groove 5. When the cylinder 17 drives the adjusting frame 2 to move up and down, the sliders 4 slide in the sliding groove 5, ensuring the smooth movement of the adjusting frame 2 and avoiding shaking or deviation. This improves the stability of the equipment operation and ensures the accuracy of the contact between the suction pipe 9 and the liquid surface, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of suspended waste collection.
[0027] Furthermore, sliding blocks 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the support plate 6, and both sliding blocks 15 are slidably connected to the top of the frame 1 through sliding grooves 16. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the support plate 6 to unfold the folded net 18, the sliding blocks 15 slide in the sliding grooves 16, ensuring the smooth movement of the support plate 6 and avoiding jamming or misalignment. This improves the flexibility of the support plate 6, enabling the folded net 18 to unfold or fold up quickly and accurately, thus enhancing the functionality and ease of operation of the equipment.
[0028] Furthermore, both sides of the support plate 6 are fixedly connected with locking blocks 7, and both sides of the top of the adjustment frame 2 are fixedly connected with locking seats 14 that cooperate with the locking blocks 7. When the support plate 6 is moved into place, the locking blocks 7 and the locking seats 14 cooperate to achieve limiting and fixing, ensuring the stability of the folded mesh 18 after it is unfolded. This achieves the effect of enhancing the structural stability of the equipment, avoiding the problem that the folded mesh 18 will affect the waste collection efficiency due to loosening during the filtration process, and further improving the working reliability of the equipment.
[0029] Furthermore, the pump body 11 is connected to a connecting pipe 10 at its inlet, and one end of the connecting pipe 10 is connected to the top of the suction pipe 9. The output shafts of the two cylinders 17 are slidably connected to the frame 1. The pump body 11 transports the suspended waste sucked in by the suction pipe 9 to the collection frame 12 through the connecting pipe 10. At the same time, the slidable connection between the output shafts of the cylinders 17 and the frame 1 ensures the flexible lifting and lowering of the adjustment frame 2, thereby optimizing the waste transfer efficiency and the smoothness of equipment movement, reducing the risk of pipe blockage and mechanical jamming, and thus improving the overall operating efficiency and service life of the equipment.
[0030] In summary:
[0031] In the process of making dried bean curd, fermentation is first carried out in frame 1. When it is necessary to remove suspended waste from the liquid surface, two cylinders 17 are activated. These two cylinders 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting frame 2 through their output shafts, thereby driving the adjusting frame 2 to move downwards, so that the suction port of the suction pipe 9 contacts the liquid surface. At the same time, the slider 4 slides in the slide groove 5 to ensure the smooth movement of the adjusting frame 2, avoiding shaking or deviation, improving the stability of equipment operation, and ensuring the accuracy of the contact between the suction pipe 9 and the liquid surface, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of suspended waste collection. At this time, the pump body 11 is activated. The inlet of the pump body 11 is connected to the top side of the suction pipe 9 through the connecting pipe 10 to suck up and collect the suspended waste from the liquid surface. The operator can manually adjust the position of the sliding sleeve 8 on the square sliding rod 3, thereby moving the suction pipe 9 to achieve uniform waste collection from the liquid surface. The collected waste is pumped into the collection frame 12 via the pump body 11 and can be discharged by opening the discharge valve 13. The bottom valve 19 is used to discharge the liquid inside the frame 1, facilitating cleaning and maintenance. This achieves the effect of convenient waste and liquid discharge, avoiding the tedious operation of manual dumping and improving the ease of use and cleaning efficiency of the equipment. In addition, the adjusting frame 2 can be submerged in the liquid, and the support plate 6 can be moved to unfold the folded mesh 18, giving the adjusting frame 2 a filtering function. At this time, sliding blocks 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the support plate 6, and the two sliding blocks 15 are slidably connected to the top of the frame 1 through the sliding groove 16, ensuring the smooth movement of the support plate 6, avoiding jamming or misalignment, improving the adjustment flexibility of the support plate 6, and enabling the folded mesh 18 to unfold or retract quickly and accurately, enhancing the functionality and ease of operation of the equipment. After filtration, locking blocks 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate 6, and locking seats 14 that cooperate with the locking blocks 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the adjusting frame 2. The locking blocks 7 and the locking seats 14 cooperate to achieve limiting and fixing, ensuring the stability of the folded net 18 after it is unfolded, enhancing the structural stability of the equipment, avoiding the problem of the folded net 18 becoming loose during the filtration process and affecting the waste collection efficiency, and further improving the working reliability of the equipment. Finally, the adjusting frame 2 is moved upward again by the cylinder 17 to filter out the suspended waste. Through the close cooperation between the various components, such as the cylinder 17 driving the adjusting frame 2 to move up and down, the slider 4 and the slide groove 5 ensuring the smooth movement of the adjusting frame 2, and the movement of the sliding sleeve 8 on the square slide rod 3 to adjust the position of the suction pipe 9, a highly efficient and stable suspended waste collection process is achieved. Meanwhile, the pump body 11 transports the suspended waste sucked in by the suction pipe 9 to the collection frame 12 through the connecting pipe 10, thus optimizing the waste transfer efficiency; the sliding connection between the output shaft of the cylinder 17 and the frame 1 ensures the flexible lifting and lowering of the adjustment frame 2, reducing the risk of mechanical jamming, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency and service life of the equipment.In addition, the design of the discharge valve 13 and the bottom valve 19 facilitates the discharge of waste and liquid, increasing the ease of use and cleaning efficiency of the equipment.
