Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bean curd production equipment, specifically a new type of bean curd drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Bean sticks, also known as bean gluten or bean skewer, are a unique bean product from Sichuan and Chongqing. They are a high-protein by-product extracted from soybeans, rich in nutrients and delicious in taste. Bean sticks are made by soaking selected soybeans, grinding them, boiling them, and filtering the resulting soy milk. The soy milk is then boiled in one corner of a pot over high heat and blown about until a skin forms. This skin is then rolled up with bamboo sticks and dried. Because of its shape, resembling a thin bamboo stick, it is called "bean stick" by the locals. In the production process of bean gluten or bean sticks, the ground and filtered soy milk is poured directly into a rectangular soy milk pot. The machine automatically dispenses, lifts, rolls, shapes, sculpts, dries, packages, and produces the finished product.

[0003] For example, CN217929528U discloses "A Three-Dimensional Bean Curd Drying Rack". This device includes a support cylinder, a support column, and a first telescopic cylinder. The support column is symmetrically installed on the top of the support cylinder. The first telescopic cylinder is installed inside the support column. A sleeve is installed on the outside of the first telescopic cylinder. A second drying rod is installed on the front of the sleeve. A third limiting hole is opened through one side of the sleeve. The second telescopic cylinder is installed inside the support cylinder. A base leg is installed at one end of the second telescopic cylinder. Through the sleeve, the sliding distance provided by the support cylinder, and the contact between the ring and the blocking ring, the sliding of the second telescopic cylinder can be restricted. The base leg is installed at one end of the second telescopic cylinder, and a grounding plate is installed at the bottom end of the base leg to increase the grounding area. A through hole is installed through the top of the grounding plate, which can be used to fix the drying rack, thereby increasing stability and preventing the drying rod from being blown over by the wind during use.

[0004] While the aforementioned three-dimensional rack has certain advantages for drying bean curd sticks, it still has some drawbacks: when using the rack to dry bean curd sticks, the drying poles are easily affected by the wind and tend to clump together, affecting the drying effect and speed, making it inconvenient to use.
