Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bean curd forming technology, specifically to a bean curd forming device that facilitates length control. Background Technology
[0002] Bean curd sticks, also known as bean fibrous skin or bean sticks, are made from the skin produced when soybeans are boiled into soy milk. They are a type of soy product. The raw material is soybeans. Soybeans are ground into soy milk, the residue is filtered out, and then the pure soy milk is filtered through a fine cloth. The pure soy milk is heated over a low flame, and after a while, a bean skin will form on the surface of the soy milk. People then use a special roller to stick the bean skin to the surface. The bean skin sticks to the roller, and people rotate the roller to evenly wrap the bean skin on the roller. After that, it is dried, and then wrapped and dried again.
[0003] Existing bean curd forming devices that facilitate length control are mostly optimized to improve the bean curd winding efficiency. For example, Chinese utility model patent application number CN202122213134.X discloses "An Automatic Bean Curd Making Equipment". In this device, there is a second frame, a conveying device, a third driving device, and a lifting frame. The bean curd tank is installed on the top of the frame. The first connecting plate is connected to the output end of the second driving device. Mounting plates are provided on the top of both sides of the first connecting plate, and a mounting plate is provided at the lower part of one end of the mounting plate. The vertical grooves that mate with the two ends of the winding rod are connected to the upper end face of the mounting plate away from the grooves at both ends of the top rod. A ring-shaped top block is fitted in the middle of the top rod. The two ends of the rotating shaft are connected to the soy milk tank through the first support plate. An S-shaped rod is set on the rotating shaft corresponding to the position of the top block. The extraction rod is set in the soy milk tank, and the sliding guide of the winding rod is used to make it accurately fit into the groove on the side of the rotating sleeve. A fan is installed on the top of the third frame. The fan drives the airflow and blows it towards the surface of the soy milk to accelerate the solidification of the liquid surface and improve the winding efficiency of the bean sprouts.
[0004] Although the aforementioned bean curd forming device, which facilitates length control, has certain advantages in improving bean curd rolling efficiency, it still has some drawbacks: the forming of bean curd requires a series of processes, and after the bean curd rolls are rolled on the rollers, it is usually impossible to control their length. They can only be cut after drying, which makes the operation cumbersome and takes up a lot of the operator's time. Utility Model Content

The cuboid box 5 includes a box frame 51, a swing-folding door 52, a through rod 53, and a length control component 54. The swing-folding door 52 is hinged to the front end of the box frame 51. One side end of the through rod 53 is fixedly connected to the swing-folding door 52. The length control component 54 passes through and is movably engaged with the through rod 53. The side end of the box frame 51 is fixedly connected to the side edge of the long platform 2. The swing-folding door 52 can swing and fold at the front end of the box frame 51 by 90 degrees to control the opening and closing of the front end of the box frame 51.
[0029] Please see Figure 3-4 A bean curd forming device for easy length control includes a length control component 54 comprising an adjusting block 541, a cutting blade 542, and a worm gear 543. The cutting blade 542 is annularly sleeved around the outer periphery of the adjusting block 541, and the worm gear 543 penetrates into the interior of the adjusting block 541. The adjusting block 541 includes a fixed outer ring q1, a movable body q2, a fixed seat q3, and a limiting channel q4. The movable body q2 is located inside the fixed outer ring q1, the fixed seat q3 is fixedly connected to the fixed outer ring q1, and the limiting channel q4 is an integral structure with the fixed seat q3. The adjusting block 541 penetrates through a through rod 53. The cutting blade 542 is a sharp blade with an annular structure. The adjusting block 541 is cylindrical and can be displaced along the through rod 53. The interior of the movable body q2 penetrates through the through rod 53. The cutting blade 542 is connected to the outer periphery of the fixed outer ring q1. The fixed seat q3 is provided in four locations and is evenly distributed in a ring.
[0030] Please see Figure 5A bean curd forming device for easy length control, the movable body q2 includes a worm gear q21, a tension block q22, an arc track q23, a first round rod q24 and a second round rod q25. The arc track q23 and the worm gear q21 are an integral structure. The lower end of the second round rod q25 is fixedly connected to the end face of the tension block q22 and is set vertically. The tension block q22 moves below the worm gear q21 through the arc track q23 and the second round rod q25.

[0031] In summary, the bean curd water to be processed into bean curd shoots is poured into the bean curd water tank 3. The two ends of the roller 4 are placed across the side edges of the long platform 2. The main switch of the device is turned on, so that the side edges of the long platform 2 can drive the roller 4 to rotate and intermittently move forward. This allows the dryer 6 to blow hot air into the inside of the drying and forming box 7, so that the bean curd shoots rolled outside the roller 4 can be conveyed through the inside of the drying and forming box 7 to the conveyor table 8. Under the drive of the conveyor table 8, they are conveyed to the next process. By setting up the length control component 54, before the bean curd shoots are formed, the swing gate 52 is first folded outward by 90 degrees, so that the two length control components 54 are on the same horizontal plane. Then, according to the required length of the bean curd shoots, the two length control components 54 are adjusted. Position adjustment, by controlling the distance between the two cutting blades 542, allows the bean sprouts to be cut simultaneously during the winding process, facilitating control of the bean sprout length. The operator can rotate the worm gear 543, causing the worm wheel q21 to rotate under its meshing drive, thus changing the position of the arc track q23 and generating a pulling force on the second round rod q25. This allows the tension block q22 to move forward or backward under the sliding cooperation of the first round rod q24 and the limiting track q4. The four tension blocks q22 arranged in a ring move synchronously, thereby controlling the size of the circular opening formed by their inner sides, and thus controlling the restraining force of the movable body q2 on the outer periphery of the through rod 53. This allows for convenient adjustment of the position of the length control component 54, and once the position is fixed, the cutting blades 542 can still cut the bean sprouts, controlling the length of the bean sprouts.
