[0002] The production process of fermented bean curd generally includes the preparation of the bean curd base, initial fermentation, final fermentation, jarring, and final product. Before initial fermentation, the bean curd base needs to be cut into pieces of the desired size. In related technologies, this is usually done using a cutting machine. Workers place the prepared bean curd base on a tray to be fed to the cutting machine's blade, which then cuts the base into pieces. However, the cutting machine has a redundant structure, making cleaning and maintenance difficult. Furthermore, during the cutting process, the blade comes into contact with the hard tray, causing it to wear down easily. When the blade wears down, or the tray surface is uneven, the bottom of the bean curd base is often difficult to cut completely, leading to sticking between the pieces and requiring manual intervention, thus reducing production efficiency.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a fermented bean curd cutting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a conveying assembly 110 and a cutter 123.

[0035] Specifically, the conveying assembly 110 includes a conveyor belt 111, which is movable in the horizontal direction. The conveyor belt 111 has a first surface 112 and a second surface 116 facing each other. The first surface 112 is used to directly place the fermented bean curd cake 150. A cutter 123 is disposed on the side where the first surface 112 is located and is located above the conveyor belt 111, and is movable in the vertical direction. The orthographic projection of the cutter 123 on the first surface 112 forms a working area. The conveyor belt 111 is movable in the horizontal direction to transport the fermented bean curd cake 150 into the working area. When the fermented bean curd cake 150 is located in the working area, the cutter 123 can move downward to abut against the working area to cut the fermented bean curd cake 150 located in the working area. In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 110 further includes at least two spaced rollers 113, around which the conveyor belt 111 wraps, and the second surface 116 contacts the rollers 113. The roller 113 rotates to drive the conveyor belt 111 to move, thereby moving the fermented bean curd blank 150 into the working area, and then the cutter 123 moves downward to cut the fermented bean curd blank 150.

[0036] The conveyor belt 111 can be made of food-grade PU (polyurethane) material. The conveyor belt 111 wraps around the roller 113, which can rotate to drive the conveyor belt 111. The second side 116 of the conveyor belt 111 is used to contact the roller 113 for transmission, and the first side 112 of the conveyor belt 111 is used to directly hold the fermented bean curd cake 150. When the roller 113 rotates, it drives the conveyor belt 111 to move, causing the fermented bean curd cake 150 to move into the working area (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The location of the fermented bean curd embryo 150 (shown by the dotted line on the left side) is used for cutting. Compared with the prior art, placing the fermented bean curd embryo 150 directly on the conveyor belt 111 simplifies the structure of the fermented bean curd embryo cutting device, facilitates cleaning and subsequent maintenance, reduces hygiene dead corners, and reduces the residue of fermented bean curd embryo fragments, slurry, etc. on the fermented bean curd embryo cutting device.

[0037] Cutting blade 123 is used to cut the fermented bean curd base 150 into pieces of the desired size, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the cutter 123 can be formed by connecting multiple horizontally arranged blades and multiple vertically arranged blades, making the cutter 123 have a grid-like structure. The cutter 123 is movable in the vertical direction to cut the fermented bean curd cake 150, thus the cutter 123 has a cutting stroke in the vertical direction. The fermented bean curd cake 150 is placed on the conveyor belt 111 (e.g., Figure 1 After the location of the fermented bean curd cake 150 on the right side of the center, the roller 113 rotates, and the fermented bean curd cake 150 moves to the left along the conveyor belt 111 to below the cutter 123 and within the working area (e.g., the position of the fermented bean curd cake 150 on the right side of the center). Figure 1(The dotted line on the left indicates the location of the fermented bean curd preform 150). When the roller 113 stops rotating and the conveyor belt 111 stops moving, and the cutter 123 moves downward to the bottom of the cutting stroke, the blade of the cutter 123 abuts against the conveyor belt 111 to cut the fermented bean curd preform 150 into pieces of the required size. When the cutter 123 moves upward away from the conveyor belt 111, the small pieces of fermented bean curd preform 150 stick to the cutter 123 to move to the designated position for the next process. When the cutter 123 cuts the fermented bean curd preform 150 into pieces, the blade of the cutter 123 abuts against the conveyor belt 111. Compared to the cutter 123 contacting a hard pallet, the conveyor belt 111 can deform to a certain extent, which can reduce the wear of the cutter 123 and allow the cutter 123 to penetrate the fermented bean curd preform 150, preventing the cut pieces of fermented bean curd preform 150 from sticking together, thus improving the yield and production efficiency.

[0038] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the fermented bean curd cutting device simplifies the structure of the device by directly placing the fermented bean curd 150 on the conveyor belt 111 for cutting, reducing dead corners and facilitating cleaning and maintenance. Furthermore, when the cutter 123 cuts the fermented bean curd 150, the blade of the cutter 123 abuts against the conveyor belt 111. Since the conveyor belt 111 can deform to a certain extent, the wear of the cutter 123 is reduced, allowing the cutter 123 to penetrate the fermented bean curd 150, preventing the cut pieces from sticking together, and improving yield and production efficiency.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the fermented bean curd cutting device further includes a support plate assembly 130. The support plate assembly 130 is disposed on the side where the second surface 116 is located, and the support plate assembly 130 can be attached to the second surface 116 to support the conveyor belt 111 during the cutting of the fermented bean curd 150. When the support plate assembly 130 is attached to the second surface 116, the portion of the conveyor belt 111 that is attached to the support plate assembly 130 corresponds to the working area on the first surface 112. Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor belt 111 wraps around the roller 113, and the side of the conveyor belt 111 that contacts the roller 113 forms an installation space 115. A support plate assembly 130 is disposed within the installation space 115. During the process of the cutter 123 cutting the fermented bean curd cake 150, the support plate assembly 130 can contact the conveyor belt 111 to provide support. Figure 1As shown, when the fermented bean curd cake 150 is located in the working area, the cutter 123, the fermented bean curd cake 150, and the support plate assembly 130 are aligned in the vertical direction. When the cutter 123 moves to the bottom of the cutting stroke, the blade of the cutter 123 abuts against the conveyor belt 111, and the part on the second surface 116 of the conveyor belt 111 corresponding to the working part is in contact with the support plate assembly 130. Thus, the support plate assembly 130 supports the conveyor belt 111, preventing the conveyor belt 111 from being overstretched during cutting, thereby extending the service life of the conveyor belt 111.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the support plate assembly 130 includes a base plate 131 and an elastic plate 132. The upper side of the base plate 131 is in contact with the lower side of the elastic plate 132. The base plate 131 can be a rigid plate to support the elastic plate 132. The elastic plate 132 can contact the second surface 116 of the conveyor belt 111, and the elastic plate 132 can elastically deform. When cutting the fermented bean curd 150 into pieces, the conveyor belt 111 can be in contact with the elastic plate 132, and the elastic plate 132 can generate a certain elastic deformation, reducing the pressure on the blade of the cutter 123 and reducing wear. Furthermore, when the cutter 123 is locally uneven or worn, the elastic deformation of the elastic plate 132 can compensate for the unevenness on the blade of the cutter 123, ensuring that the cutter 123 can cut the fermented bean curd 150 and preventing the cut pieces of fermented bean curd 150 from sticking together. The elastic plate 132 can be a silicone plate.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this utility model, the fermented bean curd cutting device further includes a first lifting drive device 133. The first lifting drive device 133 is connected to the support plate assembly 130 to drive the support plate assembly 130 to move in the vertical direction, so that the support plate assembly 130 is in contact with or away from the conveyor belt 111. The first lifting drive device 133 can be a cylinder or an electric push rod. After the fermented bean curd 150 moves into the working area, the output end of the first lifting drive device 133 moves upward, so that the support plate assembly 130 moves upward and is in contact with the conveyor belt 111 to support the fermented bean curd 150. Then, the cutter 123 moves downward to the bottom of the cutting stroke, the cutter 123 passes through the fermented bean curd 150 and contacts the conveyor belt 111 to cut the fermented bean curd 150 into pieces of the required size.

[0042] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the distance between the upper surface of the support plate assembly 130 and the conveyor belt 111 is H, 0.5cm≤H≤1.0cm, to avoid friction between the conveyor belt 111 and the support plate assembly 130 during movement. For example, H can be equal to 0.5cm, 0.6cm, 0.8cm, or 1.0cm. Figure 4As shown, during the process of cutting the fermented bean curd 150 into pieces, the support plate assembly 130 can remain stationary. The cutter 123 presses down to make the conveyor belt 111 contact the support plate assembly 130. The distance H between the upper surface of the support plate assembly 130 and the conveyor belt 111 is set to 0.5cm≤H≤1.0cm to avoid excessive stretching and deformation of the conveyor belt 111 during the cutting process.

[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the fermented bean curd cutting device further includes a positioning component 140. The positioning component 140 is disposed on the upper side of the conveyor belt 111 and spaced apart from the conveyor belt 111 to prevent the positioning component 140 from affecting the movement of the conveyor belt 111. The positioning component 140 has a positioning surface 143, which is used to position the placement of the fermented bean curd 150 so that the fermented bean curd 150 is flush with the working area. Figure 6 As shown, the front sidewall of the positioning component 140 is the positioning surface 143, which is located on the upper side of the conveyor belt 111. When the fermented bean curd cake 150 is placed on the conveyor belt 111, the front sidewall of the positioning component 140 abuts against the fermented bean curd cake 150, so that the fermented bean curd cake 150 is correctly positioned on the conveyor belt 111. This ensures that after the fermented bean curd cake 150 moves into the working area, the edge of the fermented bean curd cake 150 is aligned with or parallel to the edge of the working area for cutting, thereby improving the yield and reducing the generation of scrap.

[0044] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the conveying assembly 110 further includes a support frame 114, the roller 113 is rotatably connected to the support frame 114, and the positioning assembly 140 includes a fixed seat 141 and a positioning block 142. The fixed seat 141 is fixedly connected to the support frame 114, and the fixed seat 141 and the support frame 114 can be connected by fasteners such as bolts, or the fixed seat 141 can be welded to the support frame 114. Specifically, as... Figure 6 As shown, the fixed base 141 is located on the rear side of the support frame 114. The positioning block 142 is connected to the fixed base 141 and is located on the upper side of the conveyor belt 111, with a positioning surface 143 on the positioning block 142. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the front sidewall of the positioning block 142 is the positioning surface 143, and there are at least two fixing seats 141, which are distributed at intervals along the moving direction of the fermented bean curd 150 (from right to left as shown in the figure).

[0045] In some embodiments, the positioning block 142 is L-shaped, and the positioning surface 143 is formed on the inner sidewall of the positioning block 142. For example... Figure 5As shown, the positioning block 142 has a first arm and a second arm that are perpendicular to each other. The inner sidewall of the positioning block 142 is the sidewall facing the included angle. The sidewall of the first arm facing the included angle is the first positioning surface, and the sidewall of the second arm facing the included angle is the second positioning surface. The two adjacent sides of the fermented bean curd embryo 150 abut against the first and second positioning surfaces, respectively. Thus, when the fermented bean curd embryo 150 is located below the cutter 123, the two adjacent sides of the fermented bean curd embryo 150 can be aligned with the two adjacent edges of the working area. The first arm extends along the movement direction of the fermented bean curd embryo 150, and the second arm extends perpendicular to the movement direction of the fermented bean curd embryo 150. It can be understood that the end of the first arm away from the cutter 123 is connected to the second arm to prevent the positioning block 142 from obstructing the movement of the fermented bean curd embryo 150.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning assembly 140 further includes an adjusting member 144, which passes through the fixed base 141 and is threadedly engaged with the fixed base 141. One end of the adjusting member 144 is rotatably connected to the positioning block 142. By rotating the adjusting member 144, the positioning block 142 is moved relative to the conveyor belt 111 in the front-back direction to adjust the position of the positioning surface 143. The adjusting member 144 can be a screw.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of this utility model, the fermented bean curd cutting device further includes a frame 120 and a second lifting drive device 124. The second lifting drive device 124 is mounted on the frame 120, and the cutter 123 is connected to the second lifting drive device 124. Specifically, the frame 120 is arched and includes a crossbeam 121 and two sets of support components. The two sets of support components are spaced apart, and each set of support components includes two spaced columns 122. The columns 122 of the two sets of support components are connected by the crossbeam 121, making the frame 120 arched. The columns 122 of the same set of support components are connected by the crossbeam 121. A conveying component 110 passes through the frame 120 and is specifically located between the two sets of support components. The second lifting drive device 124 is mounted on the crossbeam 121 of the frame 120, and the cutter 123 is connected to the second lifting drive device 124. The second lifting drive device 124 is used to drive the cutter 123 to move up and down. The second lifting drive device 124 can be a cylinder or an electric push rod, and its output end is connected to the cutter 123. In some embodiments, the support plate assembly 130 is connected to the frame 120, for example, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown, the frame 120 is provided with a crossbar 126 and a connecting rod (not shown in the figure). There are two connecting rods, which pass through the installation space 115 and are connected to the columns 122 of the two sets of support components. The crossbar 126 is connected between the two connecting rods and is located within the installation space 115. The support plate assembly 130 is connected to the crossbar 126.

[0048] In some embodiments, the fermented bean curd cutting device further includes a position sensor 125, which is used to detect the position of the fermented bean curd 150. The position sensor 125 can be mounted on the frame 120, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the position sensor 125 is mounted on the column 122 of the frame 120. The position sensor 125 can be a color mark sensor, a color sensor, or a through-beam photoelectric sensor. The position sensor 125 is communicatively connected to the second lifting drive device 124. The position of the fermented bean curd cake 150 detected by the position sensor 125 determines that the fermented bean curd cake 150 is within the working area, thereby causing the second lifting drive device 124 to drive the cutter 123 downwards to cut the fermented bean curd cake 150. Specifically, the fermented bean curd cake cutting device also includes a control device. The control device is communicatively connected to the position sensor 125, the first lifting drive device 133, the second lifting drive device 124, and the roller 113 to control the cutter 123, the conveyor belt 111, and the support plate assembly 130 to work together to cut the fermented bean curd cake 150 into pieces. In the direction of movement of the fermented bean curd cake 150 (e.g., ...), ... Figure 1 (The fermented bean curd embryo 150 moves from right to left). The cutter 123 is located in front of the position sensor 125, so that during the movement of the fermented bean curd embryo 150 towards the working area, the fermented bean curd embryo 150 first passes the position sensor 125 before continuing to move towards the working area. Figure 5 As shown, the position sensor 125 is located on the side of the cutter 123 near the positioning component 140. After the fermented bean curd cake 150 is placed on the conveyor belt 111, the roller 113 rotates, causing the fermented bean curd cake 150 to move towards the working area. During this process, the fermented bean curd cake 150 first passes the position sensor 125 and then continues to move downwards from the cutter 123. Taking the position sensor 125 as a color mark sensor or color sensor as an example, the conveyor belt 111 uses a blue food-grade PU belt. Since the fermented bean curd cake 150 is generally white, the color difference with the blue conveyor belt 111 is obvious, so the fermented bean curd cake 150 can be accurately detected by the position sensor 125. When the position sensor 125 detects the fermented bean curd cake 150, after a set delay time T, the conveyor belt 111 stops moving, and then the cutting action is performed to cut the fermented bean curd cake 150. In this case, in the direction of movement of the fermented bean curd cake 150, the distance from the edge of the cutter 123 away from the positioning component 140 to the position sensor 125 is L, and the linear speed of the conveyor belt 111 is V. Then, the delay time T is set to L / V. This ensures that the fermented bean curd cake 150 is aligned with the cutter 123 for cutting into pieces, reducing or avoiding the generation of scraps.

[0049] The working process of the fermented bean curd cutting device according to one embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Fermented bean curd 150 is placed on the conveyor belt 111 against the positioning surface 143. The drive roller 113 rotates, causing the fermented bean curd 150 to move towards the working area. Based on the position of the fermented bean curd 150 detected by the position detector, the roller 113 stops rotating when the fermented bean curd 150 has moved into the working area. The first lifting drive device 133 drives the support plate assembly 130 upward until the upper surface of the support plate assembly 130 abuts against the conveyor belt 111. The first lifting drive device 133 stops driving, and the second lifting drive device 124 drives the cutter 123 downward. The cutter 123 moves until it abuts against the conveyor belt 111, and the upper surface of the support plate assembly 130 undergoes a certain deformation, ensuring that the cutter 123 cuts the fermented bean curd 150. Simultaneously, the pieces of fermented bean curd 150 adhere to the cutter 123. Then the second lifting drive device 124 drives the cutter 123 to move upward, and the 150 pieces of fermented bean curd follow the cutter 123 to be transported to the next process.

[0050] In summary, the present invention provides a device for cutting fermented bean curd into pieces, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0051] 1. The structure of the fermented bean curd cutting device is simplified, reducing hygiene dead corners and facilitating cleaning and subsequent maintenance;

[0052] 2. When the cutter 123 cuts the fermented bean curd cake 150, the blade of the cutter 123 contacts the conveyor belt 111, and the conveyor belt 111 contacts the support plate group 130. The conveyor belt 111 or the support plate group 130 can undergo a certain deformation to reduce the wear of the cutter 123 and to compensate for uneven positions of the cutter 123, ensuring that the cutter 123 can cut the fermented bean curd cake 150 and avoid the cut pieces of fermented bean curd cake 150 from sticking together.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate this utility model and are not intended to limit it.
