Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dried tofu production technology, specifically a fixed-distance cutting device for dried tofu production. Background Technology
[0002] Dried tofu is a processed product of tofu, savory and refreshing, firm yet chewy, and keeps well for a long time, earning it the nickname "vegetarian ham." Dried tofu is rich in nutrients, containing abundant protein, fat, and carbohydrates, as well as various minerals essential for the human body, such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. It is especially beneficial for the elderly, as its mild flavor can promote longevity.
[0003] In the production and processing of dried tofu, after the dried tofu is produced, it needs to be cut and then packaged.
[0004] Existing tofu cutting devices typically employ a fixed structure. When conveying uncut tofu, they cannot adaptively adjust to factors such as the thickness and shape of the tofu. This can lead to issues such as poor feeding, compression deformation, or even jamming of tofu of different sizes during the conveying process. This not only reduces production efficiency but also wastes raw materials. Therefore, a fixed-distance cutting device for tofu production is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0018] This utility model provides a fixed-distance cutting device for tofu production. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] (I) This fixed-distance cutting device for tofu production uses a servo motor to drive a reciprocating threaded rod to drive the cutter for reciprocating cutting. At the same time, the self-adaptive structure of the extrusion frame, extrusion spring, damper and limit plate allows the conveying roller to flexibly adjust the fit according to the thickness of the tofu.

A servo motor 29 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the fixed frame 21. The bottom surface of the output end of the servo motor 29 extends through the top surface of the fixed frame 21 to the inner side of the fixed frame 21. The bottom surface of the output end of the servo motor 29 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the reciprocating threaded rod 27. A control block 28 is threaded on the outer wall of the reciprocating threaded rod 27. The side of the control block 28 near the lifting plate 211 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting plate 211. The bottom surface of the reciprocating threaded rod 27 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the base plate 1 through the bearing seat 3. A compression spring 24 and a compression damper 23 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the extrusion frame 26. The top surfaces of the compression spring 24 and the compression damper 23 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed frame 21. Two limiting plates 22 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the extrusion frame 26. The top surfaces of the two limiting plates 22 slide through the inner side of the fixed frame 21 and extend to the top of the fixed frame 21. A guide rail 212 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixed frame 21. The outer wall of the guide rail 212 is slidably connected to the inner side of the lifting plate 211.
[0032] The conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveying device 31. The outer wall of the conveying device 31 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the base plate 1. Two extrusion frames 36 are provided above the conveying device 31. Two sets of rotating rollers 35 are rotatably provided on the inner side of the two extrusion frames 36 through two sets of bearing seats. Two fixed plates 32 are fixedly provided on the top surface of the base plate 1. Two sets of limiting springs 34 and two sets of limiting dampers 33 are fixedly provided on the side of the two fixed plates 32 that are close to each other.

The initial state of the two sets of limiting springs 34 is the extended state.
[0033] In use, the uncut tofu is first placed between the conveying roller 25 and the base plate 1. The conveying roller 25 in the extrusion frame 26 rotates under the drive of the control motor 213, conveying the tofu to the cutting area. The extrusion frame 26 is connected to the fixed frame 21 through the extrusion spring 24 and the extrusion damper 23. The limiting plate 22 on the extrusion frame 26 slides through the fixed frame 21. When conveying tofu of different thicknesses, the extrusion frame 26 can move up and down under the action of the extrusion spring 24 and the extrusion damper 23. The limiting plate 22 ensures the stability of the movement, so that the conveying roller 25 can always be in good contact with the surface of the tofu, ensuring smooth and stable feeding.
[0034] When the servo motor 29 drives the reciprocating threaded rod 27 to rotate, the control block 28 drives the lifting plate 211 to reciprocate up and down along the guide rail 212 under the threaded transmission, thereby enabling the cutter 210 connected to the lifting plate 211 to perform up and down reciprocating cutting action. By controlling the speed and number of rotations of the servo motor 29, the cutting frequency and cutting position of the cutter 210 can be controlled, thereby achieving fixed-distance cutting of tofu.
[0035] After being cut, the tofu is moved to the top of the conveying device 31. The rotating roller 35 provides auxiliary support and guidance during the conveying process. Meanwhile, the two fixed plates 32 on the top surface of the base plate 1 are connected to the extrusion frame 36 via the limiting spring 34 and the limiting damper 33. The limiting spring 34 is initially in an extended state. This structure allows the extrusion frame 36 to move elastically within a certain range. When conveying the tofu, it can apply appropriate pressure to the tofu to ensure stable conveying and can also accommodate tofu of different sizes, avoiding damage to the tofu due to excessive pressure.
