Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dried bean curd processing technology, specifically a device for processing dried bean curd and soaking beans. Background Technology

[0002] Tofu skin is a traditional soy product. It is made from high-quality soybeans that are plump, free of impurities and insect damage, ensuring its quality and texture. The selected soybeans are soaked in water to soften them, allowing them to fully absorb water and soften their texture. This makes them easier to grind into soy milk, reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency. It also results in a smoother, more uniform soy milk. During soaking, impurities such as dust and dirt adhering to the soybean surface fall off and settle to the bottom, facilitating further removal in subsequent processes and improving the purity and quality of the soy product. Proper soaking also allows the protein and other nutrients in the soybeans to dissolve more effectively.

[0003] In existing bean curd processing equipment, some impurities, dust, bad beans, and detached bean skins float on the water surface during the washing and soaking process. The existing equipment is unable to remove the bad beans and detached bean skins, and manual cleaning is time-consuming and labor-intensive, thus reducing its practicality. Utility Model Content

A limit baffle is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod. A guide block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the impurity removal block cavity. An impurity removal pipe is installed through the rear surface of the processing housing.

[0013] Using the above technical solution, the electric push rod of the linkage impurity removal mechanism drives the movement of the limit baffle.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting baffle is concave in design, and the limiting baffle and the impurity removal block are slidably connected.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the concave design of the limiting baffle can close the opening of the impurity removal block.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the bean curd processing and soaking device:

[0019] 1. The device is equipped with a drive screw and guide filter plates. When the device is working, the drive motor drives the drive screw to rotate, which in turn drives the two guide filter plates to move in opposite directions through the threads at both ends of the drive screw. This allows the guide filter plates to carry away impurities floating on the water surface. Subsequently, the lower end of the inclined guide filter plate will abut against the side surface of the impurity removal block, which helps to limit the impurities and improves the subsequent cleaning effect.

[0020] 2. A limit baffle and guide block are provided so that when the device is working, the limit baffle is lowered by the electric push rod, allowing water to flow into the cavity of the impurity removal baffle. At the same time, the water flow carries the surface impurities in, which are guided through the opening of the guide block and discharged into the impurity removal pipe. This increases the practicality of the device and improves the convenience of cleaning impurities.

[0021] 3. Equipped with a stirring motor and a stirring cylinder, the stirring cylinder is rotated by the stirring motor during operation. The raw materials are then stirred by the blades on the surface of the stirring cylinder, thereby increasing the friction between the water flow and the raw materials, improving the cleaning effect on the surface of the raw materials, and enhancing the practicality of the device.

The processing shell 1 has a groove on its upper surface, and the sealing cover 2 is installed at the upper end of the groove. The output end of the stirring motor 6 passes through the lower surface of the processing shell 1, and the stirring motor 6 is rotatably connected to the processing shell 1. The output end of the stirring motor 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the stirring cylinder 7. The upper outer surface of the stirring cylinder 7 is provided with blades. When using this device, the raw materials and water are first introduced into the processing shell 1 through the feeding pipe 3 and the water inlet pipe 4 for bean soaking. Then, the stirring motor 6 drives the stirring cylinder 7 to rotate, which facilitates the stirring of the raw materials by the blades on the surface of the stirring cylinder 7, and facilitates the removal of impurities from the surface of the raw materials.

[0031] A feed pipe 3 and a water inlet pipe 4 are installed through the upper surface of the sealed cover 2. A discharge pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the processing housing 1. Two stirring motors 6 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the processing housing 1. A stirring cylinder 7 is installed on the bottom surface of the groove of the processing housing 1. The output end of the drive motor 8 penetrates the side surface of the processing housing 1. The output end of the drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the drive screw 9. The threads on the outer surfaces of the two ends of the drive screw 9 are in opposite directions. The drive screw 9 and the guide filter plate 10 are threadedly connected. Furthermore, the guide filter plate 10 and the processing housing 1 form a sliding connection. The surface of the guide filter plate 10 is provided with a filter screen, and the lower end of the guide filter plate 10 is designed to be inclined. The lower end of the impurity removal block 11 is designed to be arc-shaped, and the upper side surface of the impurity removal block 11 is provided with two openings. When it is necessary to clean impurities, the transmission screw 9 is first driven to rotate by the transmission motor 8, so that the transmission screw 9 drives the two guide filter plates 10 to slide towards each other through the threads at both ends. After the guide filter plate 10 filters the water flow, it drives the impurities to be pushed against the side surface of the impurity removal block 11.

[0032] A drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the processing housing 1. A drive screw 9 is provided on the inner wall of the groove of the processing housing 1.

[0033] The impurity removal baffle 11 is equipped with a linkage impurity removal mechanism. The limit baffle 13 is driven by the electric push rod 12 to move, so that the guide block 14 guides the impurities to the impurity removal pipe 15 for discharge. The limit baffle 13 is concave and is slidably connected to the impurity removal baffle 11. The upper side surface of the guide block 14 is inclined and is connected to the impurity removal pipe 15. Then, the water flow carries the impurities into the opening of the impurity removal baffle 11.

Finally, the impurities are discharged and cleaned through the impurity removal pipe 15, while the raw material is discharged through the discharge pipe 5.

[0034] Working principle: When using this bean curd processing and soaking device, the raw materials and water flow are introduced into the processing shell 1 through the feed pipe 3 and water inlet pipe 4 of the sealed top cover 2. The stirring motor 6 drives the stirring cylinder 7 to rotate and stir the raw materials. The transmission motor 8 drives the transmission screw 9 to rotate, thereby driving the guide filter plate 10 to slide in opposite directions. This allows the guide filter plate 10 to push impurities against the surface of the impurity removal block 11. The electric push rod 12 drives the limit baffle 13 to descend, allowing the water flow to carry the impurities to the guide block 14. The impurities are discharged and cleaned through the guide block 14 and the impurity removal pipe 15, while the raw materials are discharged from the discharge pipe 5, increasing the overall practicality.
