Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soybean product processing, specifically an automatic coagulation component for soybean products. Background Technology

[0002] Coagulation is the process of adding a coagulant to cooked soy milk to coagulate the heat-denatured proteins. It is a crucial step in the production of tofu products. Depending on the quality requirements of the soy products, the methods of coagulation vary greatly, broadly categorized as Northern tofu coagulation and Southern tofu coagulation. The process of coagulation is related to the concentration, temperature, and pH of the soy milk, as well as the type, concentration, amount, and method of addition of the coagulant.

[0003] Currently, in the coagulation stage of soy product production, the common practice is to directly pour the coagulant into the soy milk and stir it with a mixer. However, when the coagulant is poured directly from the top of the soy milk, the top will coagulate first, forming tofu curds. Subsequently, during the stirring process, these pre-coagulated tofu curds will be broken down by the mixer, ultimately resulting in poor-quality tofu curds. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic coagulation component for soybean products to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic coagulation component for soybean products, comprising:

[0007] A stirring mechanism includes a base, a slurry cylinder fixedly connected to the top of the base, a stand fixedly connected to one side of the base, a sliding beam slidingly passing through the interior of the stand, a shaft tube rotatably connected inside the sliding beam, and a series of interconnected stirring tubes fixedly connected in a circular array on the outer side of the shaft tube. A one-way valve is fixedly connected to the end of each set of stirring tubes away from the shaft tube, a gear ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the shaft tube, and a drive motor is fixedly connected to the top side of the sliding beam. A gear that meshes with the gear ring is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor.

[0008] The dispensing mechanism includes a lead screw threaded into the sliding beam and rotatably connected to the support. A stepper motor is fixedly connected to the top of the support, and the output end of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the lead screw. A storage cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the sliding beam, and a pump is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding beam. The input end of the pump is fixedly connected to the storage cylinder, and the output end of the pump is fixedly connected to a rotary joint. The bottom of the rotary joint is fixedly connected to the shaft tube.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an observation port is provided on one side of the injection cylinder, and a transparent glass plate fixedly connected to the injection cylinder is provided inside the observation port.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the top of the slurry cylinder is provided with a cover plate, and a sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the outside of the shaft tube, and the sliding sleeve is rotatably connected to the cover plate.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a spring is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate, and the end of the spring away from the cover plate is fixedly connected to the sliding beam.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: guide rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate, and both sets of guide rods slide through the sliding beam.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] With the above-described structure, this invention utilizes the cooperation of a pump, drive motor, check valve, and stepper motor. When the pump starts, it draws the coagulant from the storage cylinder into the rotary joint, then discharges it through the shaft tube and various stirring tubes via the check valves. The drive motor, upon startup, rotates the gears, gear ring, and shaft tube, which in turn rotates the stirring tubes, thus mixing the soy milk at the corresponding depth with the coagulant discharged from the check valves. The stepper motor, upon startup, rotates the lead screw, which in turn moves the sliding beam, shaft tube, and stirring tubes from bottom to top, allowing the coagulant to be gradually discharged from bottom to top, while the stirring tubes gradually stir from bottom to top. This reduces the probability of the coagulated bean curd being destroyed. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 An automatic coagulation assembly for soybean products includes a stirring mechanism 1. The stirring mechanism 1 includes a base 101, and a coagulation cylinder 102 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 101. The coagulation cylinder 102 is used to hold soybean milk and coagulated soybean curd. An observation port 103 is provided on one side of the coagulation cylinder 102. A transparent glass plate 104 is fixedly connected to the coagulation cylinder 102 inside the observation port 103, allowing for observation of the coagulation status of the soybean milk inside the coagulation cylinder 102. A stand 108 is fixedly connected to one side of the base 101, and a sliding beam 109 slides through the interior of the stand 108, guiding the vertical movement of the sliding beam 109.

[0024] The top of the grouting cylinder 102 is provided with a cover plate 206, and a sliding sleeve 208 is slidably connected to the outer side of the shaft tube 105. The sliding sleeve 208 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 206. The cover plate 206 is provided to cover the grouting cylinder 102 to reduce the probability of dust and debris falling into the grouting cylinder 102. A spring 207 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 206. The end of the spring 207 away from the cover plate 206 is fixedly connected to the sliding beam 109. Specifically, the spring 207 is in a compressed state, so that the elasticity of the spring 207 can push the cover plate 206 to press against the grouting cylinder 102.

[0025] Guide rods 209 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 206. Both sets of guide rods 209 slide through the sliding beam 109. The guide rods 209 are used to guide the cover plate 206. The grouting mechanism 2 includes a screw rod 201 threadedly connected to the inside of the sliding beam 109. The screw rod 201 is rotatably connected to the stand 108. When the screw rod 201 rotates, it can drive the sliding beam 109 to move up and down.

[0026] A stepper motor 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 108. The output end of the stepper motor 202 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 201. The stepper motor 202 is configured to drive the lead screw 201 to rotate when the machine starts working. A shaft tube 105 is rotatably connected inside the sliding beam 109. A series of interconnected stirring tubes 106 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the shaft tube 105 in a circular array. The shaft tube 105 is configured to drive the stirring tubes 106 to rotate when it rotates, so that the stirring tubes 106 can stir the soy milk inside the base 101 and guide the coagulant.

[0027] A storage cylinder 203 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the sliding beam 109. The storage cylinder 203 is used to contain the coagulant. A pump 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding beam 109. The input end of the pump 204 is fixedly connected to the storage cylinder 203, and the pump 204 is used to extract the coagulant from the storage cylinder 203. A rotary joint 205 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump 204. The bottom of the rotary joint 205 is fixedly connected to the shaft tube 105, and the rotary joint 205 is used to connect the output end of the pump 204 to the shaft tube 105. Guide blocks 210 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotary joint 205. Both sets of guide blocks 210 slide through the guide rod 209, and the guide blocks 210 are used to limit and guide the rotary joint 205.

[0028] Each stirring tube 106 has a one-way valve 107 fixedly connected to the end away from the shaft tube 105. The one-way valve 107 allows the coagulant to be discharged while preventing soy milk from entering the stirring tube 106. A gear ring 112 is fixedly connected to the outside of the shaft tube 105. A drive motor 111 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the sliding beam 109. The output end of the drive motor 111 is fixedly connected to a gear 113 that meshes with the gear ring 112. The drive motor 111 is configured to drive the gear 113 and the gear ring 112 to rotate when the machine starts, thereby causing the shaft tube 105 to rotate accordingly.

[0029] In use, soy milk is poured into the coagulant cylinder 102, followed by coagulant into the storage cylinder 203. Then, pump 204 and drive motor 111 are started, causing the drive motor 111 to rotate gear 113 and gear ring 112. The rotation of gear ring 112 then rotates shaft tube 105 and each set of stirring tubes 106, allowing the stirring tubes 106 to stir the soy milk inside the coagulant cylinder 102. Next, pump 204 is started, drawing the coagulant from the storage cylinder 203 into the rotary joint 205, and then through the shaft tube... The coagulant is guided by the stirring tubes 105 and 106 to the corresponding depth inside the dosing cylinder 102 through the one-way valves 107. At the same time, it is stirred and mixed with the soy milk by the stirring tubes 106. Simultaneously, the stepper motor 202 is started, which drives the lead screw 201 to rotate. When the lead screw 201 rotates, it drives the sliding beam 109, shaft tube 105 and stirring tube 106 to move upward, so that the coagulant is gradually discharged into the dosing cylinder 102 from bottom to top. At the same time, the soy milk is gradually stirred from bottom to top, thereby reducing the probability of the coagulated soy milk being damaged.

They are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art who makes partial modifications or alterations to the technical content disclosed in the present utility model without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present utility model.
