Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of soybean product manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a molding device for soybean protein gel. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of tofu and other soy products, after soybean protein is coagulated to form a gel, it needs to be shaped and dehydrated in a mold using non-woven fabric. Currently, most soy product processing plants still rely on manual operation for the non-woven fabric laying process.

[0003] The traditional manual operation involves laying non-woven fabric inside the mold cavity, filling it with a mixture of soy products, adding a coagulant, folding the non-woven fabric over the top of the mold cavity, and then squeezing out the water to form the product. Because the non-woven fabric needs to be manually removed and re-laid each time, this frequent operation not only slows down the equipment's efficiency but also causes contamination due to contact with the soy products, severely impacting both production efficiency and quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a molding device for soybean protein gel, which solves the problem that the existing equipment cannot automatically and quickly lay non-woven fabric, resulting in a slow gelation efficiency for soybean products.

[0005] This invention is implemented as follows: a molding device for soybean protein gel includes a mold, a pressure plate disposed on the upper side of the mold, a non-woven fabric disposed inside the mold, and further includes:

[0006] A push plate is slidably disposed in the mold for folding nonwoven fabric. Multiple push plates are arranged at equal angles and in a stepped shape.

[0007] A rotating disk is mounted on the mold to drive multiple push plates to slide, and as the rotating disk rotates, the multiple push plates slide alternately in sequence.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a spring for resetting is provided at the connection between the push plate and the mold.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the nonwoven fabric is located inside the mold and is attached to the inner wall of the mold, forming a U-shape with the inner wall of the mold. A support plate is provided on the lower side of the nonwoven fabric, and a winding assembly is provided on the mold for winding the nonwoven fabric.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the winding assembly includes a winding shaft rotatably mounted on the mold, the upper half of the nonwoven fabric is wound around the winding shaft, and a torsion spring is sleeved on one side of the winding shaft.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the end of the take-up shaft is provided with a self-locking assembly, which includes two friction plates. One of the friction plates is fixedly mounted on the mold, and the other friction plate is fixedly mounted on the take-up shaft. The take-up shaft passes through the two friction plates. An electric telescopic rod is provided on the mold, and one of the take-up shafts is installed at the end of the electric telescopic rod.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner side of the rotating disk is provided with a plurality of wedge-shaped extrusion blocks, and the number of extrusion blocks is the same as the number of push plates, and the plurality of extrusion blocks are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the mold is equipped with a drive assembly for rotating the rotating disk.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the drive assembly includes a gear ring mounted on a rotating disk, a drive motor mounted on the mold, and a gear that meshes with the gear ring at the end of the drive motor.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0025] To further understand the utility model content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a molding device for soybean protein gel, including a mold 1, a pressure plate 2 disposed on the upper side of the mold 1, and a non-woven fabric 3 disposed inside the mold 1. The device is characterized by further comprising:

[0028] The sliding arrangement is set inside the mold 1. The push plate 4 is used for folding the nonwoven fabric 3. Multiple push plates 4 are set at equal angles and are arranged in a stepped shape.

[0029] A rotating disk 9 is mounted on the mold 1 to drive multiple push plates 4 to slide. When the rotating disk 9 rotates, the multiple push plates 4 slide alternately in sequence.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a spring 5 for resetting is provided at the connection between the push plate 4 and the mold 1, which facilitates the periodic sliding of the push plate 4, thereby folding the non-woven fabric 3 on top, thus reducing manual operation and making the equipment more convenient to use.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the nonwoven fabric 3 is located inside the mold 1 and is attached to the inner side wall of the mold 1, forming a U-shape with the inner wall of the mold 1. A support plate 14 is provided on the lower side of the nonwoven fabric 3. A winding assembly is provided on the mold 1 for winding the nonwoven fabric 3, which facilitates the formation of a support filter inside the mold 1. At the same time, when the winding assembly 3 winds up, the material inside the nonwoven fabric 3 can be pushed out of the mold 1, making it more convenient to pick up the material.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the winding assembly includes a winding shaft 6 rotatably mounted on the mold 1, the upper half of the nonwoven fabric 3 is wound around the winding shaft 6, and a torsion spring 15 is sleeved on one side of the winding shaft 6 to facilitate the winding of the nonwoven fabric. At the same time, the material inside the nonwoven fabric 3 can be effectively lifted by the support plate 14 at the bottom, further improving the material demolding efficiency.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the end of the take-up shaft 6 is provided with a self-locking assembly, which includes two friction plates 7. One friction plate 7 is fixedly mounted on the mold 1, and the other friction plate 7 is fixedly mounted on the take-up shaft 6. The take-up shaft 6 passes through the two friction plates 7. An electric telescopic rod 8 is provided on the mold 1, and one of the take-up shafts 6 is installed at the end of the electric telescopic rod 8, which facilitates locking the take-up shaft 6 and prevents the take-up shaft 6 from rebounding due to the action of the torsion spring 15, thereby further ensuring the stability of the equipment.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner side of the rotating disk 9 is provided with a plurality of wedge-shaped extrusion blocks 10, and the number of extrusion blocks 10 is the same as the number of push plates 4. The plurality of extrusion blocks 10 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom, which facilitates the sequential movement of the plurality of push plates 4, thereby achieving alternating folding and ensuring the coverage of the top of the mold 1.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mold 1 is equipped with a drive assembly for rotating the rotating disk 9, which facilitates driving the rotating disk 9 to rotate, so that the rotating disk 9 can quickly push the push plate 4 to slide, thereby completing the folding of the non-woven fabric 3, making it more convenient to use.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the drive assembly includes a gear ring 11 mounted on the rotating disk 9, a drive motor 12 mounted on the mold 1, and a gear 13 at the end of the drive motor 12 that meshes with the gear ring 11, further driving the rotating disk 3 to rotate, making the equipment work faster and reducing manual operation.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model:

[0038] refer to Figure 6 Because a support plate 14 is provided at the bottom of the nonwoven fabric 3, when the nonwoven fabric 3 is laid in the mold 1, the support plate 14 is located on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the mold 1. At the same time, the weight of the support plate 14 keeps the bottom of the nonwoven fabric 3 in a stretched state, so that the side of the nonwoven fabric 3 forms a vertical state. Then, the raw material is injected into the mold 1, and a coagulant is added at the same time, so that it solidifies in the mold 1. When the material is in the solidified state, first control Figure 5 The electric telescopic rod 8 pushes one of the friction plates 7 to move, causing the two friction plates 7 to move away from each other, and then controls... Figure 2 The drive motor 12 drives the gear 13 to rotate. When the gear 13 rotates, the gear 13 drives the gear ring 11 to rotate. At this time, the gear ring 11 drives the rotating disk 9 to rotate.

[0039] When the rotating disk 9 rotates, refer to Figure 4Since multiple extrusion blocks 10 are fixedly installed inside the rotating disk 9, and the multiple extrusion blocks 10 are arranged sequentially, when the rotating disk 9 rotates, the rotating disk 9 drives the extrusion blocks 10 to rotate, causing the extrusion blocks 10 to push the push plates 4 on each surface to move sequentially. The specific movement is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, when the rotating disk 9 rotates, the extrusion block 10 on the rotating disk 9 will push A1 to slide. When A1 slides, the push plate 4 will push the upper side of the non-woven fabric 3 to fold. When the upper side of the non-woven fabric 3 is folded, the folded part will cover the upper side of the mold 1. As the rotating disk 9 continues to rotate, when the rotating disk 9 is separated from the push plate 4 in A1, the spring 5 pushes the push plate 4 to reset. At this time, the upper side of the non-woven fabric 3 will remain on the upper side of the mold 1 in a folded shape. At this time, the extrusion block 10 pushes the push plate 4 in A2 to move. When the push plate 4 in A2 moves, since the push plate 4 is set with a stepped height, when the push plate 4 pushes the non-woven fabric 3 to fold, the folded position will cover the upper side of the folded position of A1. As the rotating disk 9 continues to rotate, multiple push plates 4 will form A1, A2, A3, A4 folded coverage until the top of the mold 1 is completely covered.

[0040] When the nonwoven fabric 3 is completely folded and covered, the electric telescopic rod 8 drives one of the friction plates 7 to move, so that the two friction plates 7 form friction, thereby locking the take-up shaft 6. During the folding process of the nonwoven fabric 3, since one end of the torsion spring 15 is fixed on the take-up shaft 6 and the other end is fixed on the mold 1, the torsion spring 15 will be compressed. After the nonwoven fabric 3 is folded, the material can be squeezed by the pressure plate 2 to dehydrate the nonwoven fabric 3.

[0041] After the material is formed, the two friction plates 7 are separated by the electric telescopic rod 8. At this time, the torsion spring 15 drives the winding shaft 6 to wind up the non-woven fabric 3. As the winding shaft 6 winds up, the winding shaft 6 can wind up the non-woven fabric 3 on the upper side of the mold 1. At the same time, the tension generated can lift the non-woven fabric 3, thereby moving the material formed in the mold 1 upward so that the material can be taken out.

[0042] This invention utilizes the alternating movement of multiple push plates 4 within the equipment to effectively fold the nonwoven fabric 3 placed inside the mold 1, forming a cover on the top surface of the mold 1. This effectively reduces manual operation and folding, preventing inefficiency during manual folding and minimizing human contact. After each material is formed, the nonwoven fabric 3 is rolled up, generating tension that allows it to quickly detach from the mold 1, making material removal more convenient and efficient.
