Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dried bean curd production technology, and in particular to a compaction device for dried bean curd production with water recovery function. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese document CN212260349U describes a compaction device for making dried bean curd with a water recovery function. The device includes a U-shaped support frame, a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the top of the frame, and a pressing plate at the end of a telescopic rod. A collection box is located near the bottom between the two arms of the U-shaped support frame. Support columns are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate. Each dried bean curd box has a holding slot in the middle, and a filter screen is installed in each slot. A diversion plate is also located near the outer edge of the slot. A spring is also located on the lower surface of the clamping plate corresponding to the circular hole. This compaction device for making dried bean curd with a water recovery function compresses the dried bean curd mixture in the lower dried bean curd box under the action of the pressing plate. The collection box at the bottom of the U-shaped support frame facilitates the collection of excess water. Two adjacent dried bean curd boxes are pressed against each other by the action of a second protrusion. Under the action of the filter screen, the internal water is separated from the dried bean curd. The diversion plate receives the water accumulated on the filter screen and guides it into the collection box.
[0003] After investigation and analysis, the patent has the following drawbacks in actual use:
[0004] During the process of simultaneous compaction of multiple layers, each layer of dried bean curd may be affected by different degrees of pressure. Due to the different thickness and density of each layer of dried bean curd, the pressure distribution may be uneven, resulting in an unsatisfactory compaction effect for some dried bean curd. This uneven compaction will affect the quality of the dried bean curd, especially in terms of the degree of moisture removal and compactness between the outer and inner layers of dried bean curd.
[0005] In summary, this application proposes a compaction device for dried bean curd production with water recovery function to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a compaction device for making dried bean curd with a water recovery function. This device can solve the problem that during the process of compacting multiple layers of dried bean curd at the same time, each layer may be affected by different degrees of pressure. Due to the different thickness and density of each layer of dried bean curd, the pressure distribution may be uneven, resulting in an unsatisfactory compaction effect for some dried bean curd. This uneven compaction will affect the quality of the dried bean curd, especially the difference in the degree of water removal and compactness between the outer and inner layers of dried bean curd.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a compaction device for making dried bean curd with a water recovery function, comprising:
[0008] The frame has a water collection frame fixedly installed on its inner wall, and a placement frame is set inside the water collection frame.

The bottom of the fixed frame is fixedly installed to the inner wall of the water collection frame, and the bottom of the sliding block is fixedly installed with a spring. The other end of the spring is fixedly installed to the inner bottom of the fixed frame. A damper is provided inside the spring. On the one hand, the elastic design of the spring can effectively limit the maximum downward pressure of the placement frame, effectively disperse and buffer the downward pressure, reduce the risk of direct pressure acting on the dried bean curd, thereby protecting the structure of the dried bean curd, ensuring its intact shape, and avoiding damage to the equipment or production quality problems caused by excessive compaction. On the other hand, when the hydraulic rod presses down on the placement frame, the spring provides a counterforce through its elastic characteristics, helping the placement frame to return to its original position after the compaction process is completed, thereby facilitating the removal and placement of the placement frame.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the buffer plate is in contact with the bottom of the placement frame, which can provide support for the placement frame.
[0013] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixedly installed on the rear side of the frame, and a hydraulic rod is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing frame. The free end of the hydraulic rod passes through the fixing frame and a pressure plate is fixedly installed thereon. The hydraulic rod applies stable pressure to squeeze out the moisture and air inside the dried bean curd, thereby making the dried bean curd more compact. This can increase the density of the dried bean curd, making it more firm and the taste more delicate.
[0014] Preferably, a collection frame is provided at the bottom of the frame, and the bottom end of the water collection frame extends to the bottom of the frame, so as to transport the collected water into the collection frame.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a compaction device for making dried bean curd with water collection and recovery function, including a frame 1 and auxiliary components. A water collection frame 2 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frame 1. A placement frame 4 is provided inside the water collection frame 2. The auxiliary components are set on the water collection frame 2. The auxiliary components include a fixed frame 6, a sliding block 7, a sliding rod 9 and a buffer plate 10. The sliding block 7 is slidably installed inside the fixed frame 6. The sliding rod 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding block 7. The top of the sliding rod 9 passes through the fixed frame 6 and is fixedly installed on the buffer plate 10.
[0024] Furthermore, slide rails 3 are fixedly installed on both inner walls of the water collection frame 2, and sliding plates 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the placement frame 4. The sliding plates 5 are slidably installed inside the slide rails 3.
[0025] Furthermore, the auxiliary components also include a spring 8. The bottom of the fixed frame 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water collection frame 2, and the bottom of the sliding block 7 is fixedly installed with the spring 8. The other end of the spring 8 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the fixed frame 6. A damper is installed inside the spring 8. The pressure plate 13 compacts the raw materials inside the placement frame 4. The spring 8 inside the fixed frame 6 enables the buffer plate 10 to effectively disperse and buffer the downward pressure, reducing the risk of direct pressure acting on the dried bean curd. On the one hand, the elastic design of the spring 8 can effectively limit the maximum downward pressure of the placement frame 4, effectively disperse and buffer the downward pressure, and reduce the risk of direct pressure acting on the dried bean curd, thereby protecting the structure of the dried bean curd, ensuring its intact shape, and avoiding damage to the equipment or production quality problems caused by over-compaction. On the other hand, when the hydraulic rod 12 presses down on the placement frame 4, the spring 8 provides a counterforce through its elastic characteristics, helping the placement frame 4 to return to its original position after the compaction process is completed, thus facilitating the removal and placement of the placement frame 4.
[0026] Furthermore, the top of the buffer plate 10 contacts the bottom of the placement frame 4, which can provide support for the placement frame 4.
[0027] Furthermore, a fixing frame 11 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the frame 1, and a hydraulic rod 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing frame 11. The free end of the hydraulic rod 12 passes through the fixing frame 11 and a pressure plate 13 is fixedly installed thereon. The hydraulic rod 12 applies stable pressure to squeeze out the moisture and air inside the dried bean curd, thereby making the dried bean curd more compact. This can increase the density of the dried bean curd, making it more firm and the taste more delicate.
[0028] Secondly, a collection frame 14 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1, and the bottom end of the water collection frame 2 extends to the bottom of the frame 1, so that the collected water can be transported into the collection frame 14.
[0029] Working principle: In use, first align the sliding plate 5 on the placement frame 4 with the slide rail 3, slide the placement frame 4 onto the water collection frame 2 so that the bottom of the placement frame 4 contacts the top of the buffer plate 10, and place the non-woven fabric inside the placement frame 4. Then pour the bean curd raw material into the non-woven fabric and wrap it with the non-woven fabric. Start the hydraulic rod 12, and push the pressure plate 13 downward to make the pressure plate 13 compact the raw material inside the placement frame 4. The squeezed water flows out through the through hole on the placement frame 4 into the water collection frame 2. By setting the spring 8 inside the fixed frame 6, the buffer plate 10 can effectively disperse and buffer the downward pressure, reducing the risk of direct pressure on the bean curd. The water is then transported to the inside of the collection frame 14 through the water collection frame 2 for collection.
