Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soybean product processing technology, specifically a machine for horizontally slicing and splitting dried soybeans. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of dried tofu is basically the same as that of regular tofu, except that the thickness is smaller when pouring, generally 5-6 cm, and the pressing time is 15-30 minutes. The moisture content of the dried tofu after pressing should be 60%-65%. After pressing, it is cut into tofu blanks according to the requirements of different finished products, which are the finished products. Specifically: Soy milk—boiling and cooling—coagulation—curing—pouring—pressing—unpacking—cutting—finished product.

[0003] In the process of making dried bean curd, the block-shaped embryo needs to be horizontally divided into slices. Bean products are relatively soft, so clamps are needed to hold and fix them during the cutting process to ensure the accuracy of the halving. Traditional dried bean curd halving machines need to be adjusted according to the thickness of the embryo when horizontally cutting the bean product embryo, which leads to frequent adjustments to the equipment and makes it impossible to achieve automatic adjustment, thus increasing the workload. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bean curd slicing and splitting machine. Two sets of vertical belts are supported by a drive roller and a driven roller. The position of the drive roller is then fixed, while the driven rollers move flexibly through a connecting frame. With the assistance of an elastic adjustment component, the two sets of driven rollers tilt and move towards the center. This not only gradually reduces the distance between the two sets of vertical belts, allowing for the fitting of different sized bean curd pieces, but also provides a certain degree of elastic compression to the bean curd pieces, ensuring that they are stably conveyed downwards by the vertical belts and split, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tofu slicing and splitting machine, comprising:

[0006] Conveyor lines and cutting equipment for transporting dried bean curd;

[0007] The conveyor line is installed on the side of the operating table, and the cutting equipment is set on the support frame. The cutting equipment includes a feeding frame fixed inside the support frame. The feeding frame is also equipped with two sets of vertical belts for clamping and conveying the dried bean curd. The inner side of the vertical belts is equipped with a drive roller and a driven roller for supporting them. The drive roller is rotatably connected to the feeding frame through a bearing. The driven roller is connected to a connecting frame through the drive roller and one end of the driven roller through a bearing. The driven roller is movably set below the drive roller inside the feeding frame. The support frame is also equipped with an elastic adjustment component for adjusting the distance between the two sets of driven rollers, so as to realize automatic clamping and vertical movement of dried bean curd of different thicknesses.

[0008] A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the support frame via a bearing seat. A cutting blade is fixed on the rotating shaft. The cutting blade extends through the unloading frame and is located between two sets of vertical belts.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic adjustment assembly includes a fixed seat fixed on a support frame, a T-shaped rod hinged to the inner side of the fixed seat, the movable end of the T-shaped rod passing through the driven roller and extending outward, and a support spring sleeved on the outer side of the T-shaped rod, the support spring being located between the driven roller and the fixed seat.

[0010] Preferably, the support frame is provided with a first drive assembly for driving the cutting blade. The first drive assembly includes a first servo motor fixed on the support frame. A first sprocket is fixed to the outer side of both the output shaft and the rotation shaft of the first servo motor. A first chain is driven to the outer side of the first sprocket.

[0011] Preferably, the support frame is further provided with a second drive assembly that drives the two sets of vertical belts in opposite directions. The second drive assembly includes two sets of meshing linkage gears. One end of the drive roller extends through to the outside of the feeding frame and is fixedly connected to the linkage gears. A second servo motor is fixed on the support frame. The output shaft of the second servo motor and the other end of the set of drive rollers are both fixed with a second sprocket.

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

[0016] 1. This utility model connects the fixed seat and the driven roller with a T-shaped rod, and then supports the driven roller to move towards the middle through a support spring. This causes the distance between the two sets of vertical belts to decrease from top to bottom. This makes it convenient for the bean curd to be held by the vertical belts when it falls, preventing it from falling directly and being unable to hold the cut bean curd, which would reduce the cutting accuracy.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-5 The tofu slicing and halving machine shown includes:

[0026] Conveyor line 1 and cutting equipment for conveying dried bean curd;

[0027] The conveyor line 1 is installed on the side of the operating table 2. The cutting equipment is set on the support frame 3. The cutting equipment includes a feeding frame 4 fixed inside the support frame 3. The feeding frame 4 is also equipped with two sets of vertical belts 5 for clamping and conveying the dried bean curd. The inner side of the vertical belts 5 is equipped with a drive roller 6 and a driven roller 7 for supporting them. The drive roller 6 is rotatably connected to the feeding frame 4 through a bearing. The driven roller 7 is connected to a connecting frame 8 through the drive roller 6 and one end of the driven roller 7 through a bearing. The driven roller 7 is movably set below the drive roller 6 inside the feeding frame 4. The support frame 3 is also equipped with an elastic adjustment component 9 for adjusting the distance between the two sets of driven rollers 7, so as to realize automatic clamping and vertical movement of dried bean curd of different thicknesses.

[0028] A rotating shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the support frame 3 via a bearing seat. A cutting blade 11 is fixed on the rotating shaft 10. The cutting blade 11 penetrates into the unloading frame 4 and is located between two sets of vertical belts 5.

[0029] The fixed seat 91 is connected to the driven roller 7 by the T-shaped rod 92, and then the driven roller 7 is moved towards the middle by the support spring 93. This causes the distance between the two sets of vertical belts 5 to decrease from top to bottom. This makes it easier for the bean curd to be held by the vertical belts 5 when it falls, preventing it from falling directly and being unable to hold the cut bean curd, which would reduce the cutting accuracy. At the same time, the support spring 93 can elastically adjust the distance between the two sets of driven rollers 7 within a certain range, which is convenient for automatic clamping and limiting of bean curd of different thicknesses, realizing automatic adjustment and improving the efficiency of splitting bean curd.

[0030] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown:

[0031] The elastic adjustment component 9 includes a fixed seat 91 fixed on the support frame 3. A T-shaped rod 92 is hinged to the inner side of the fixed seat 91. The movable end of the T-shaped rod 92 passes through the driven roller 7 and extends outward. A support spring 93 is sleeved on the outer side of the T-shaped rod 92. The support spring 93 is located between the driven roller 7 and the fixed seat 91. The support spring 93 supports and limits the driven roller 7, pushing the driven roller 7 to swing around the drive roller 6 as the central axis and the connecting frame 8 as the radius, automatically adjusting the distance between the two sets of vertical belts 5, which is convenient for clamping blanks of different thicknesses. The T-shaped rod 92 supports the support spring 93 to prevent the support spring 93 from bending and deforming.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-3 As shown:

[0033] The support frame 3 is equipped with a first drive assembly for driving the cutting blade 11. The first drive assembly includes a first servo motor 12 fixed on the support frame 3. The output shaft of the first servo motor 12 and the outer side of the rotating shaft 10 are both fixed with a first sprocket 13. The outer side of the first sprocket 13 is connected to a first chain 14. The rotating shaft 10 is driven by the cooperation of the first servo motor 12 and the first sprocket 13 with the first chain 14, which drives the cutting blade 11 to rotate, so as to facilitate the halving of the falling blank.

[0034] Preferred, such as Figure 2-3 As shown:

[0035] The support frame 3 is also equipped with a second drive assembly that drives the two sets of vertical belts 5 in opposite directions. The second drive assembly includes two sets of meshing linkage gears 15. One end of the drive roller 6 extends through to the outside of the feeding frame 4 and is fixedly connected to the linkage gear 15. A second servo motor 16 is fixed on the support frame 3. The output shaft of the second servo motor 16 and the other end of the set of drive rollers 6 are both fixed with a second sprocket 17. The second sprocket 17 is connected by a second chain 18. The second sprocket 17 is driven to rotate by the cooperation of the second servo motor 16 and the second chain 18, thereby causing the set of drive rollers 6 to rotate. Subsequently, the other set of drive rollers 6 rotates synchronously in opposite directions by the cooperation of the two sets of linkage gears 15, so that the two sets of vertical belts 5 rotate synchronously in opposite directions, which can stably convey the blank downwards.

[0036] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 5 As shown:

[0037] The conveyor line 1 includes a fixed frame 101 fixed to the side of the operating table 2. Two sets of support rollers 102 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed frame 101 via bearings. A transverse belt 103 is driven to the outer side of the support rollers 102. A drive motor 104 is fixed to the outer side of the fixed frame 101 to drive one set of support rollers 102. The drive motor 104 drives one set of support rollers 102 to rotate, and together with the other set of support rollers 102, it can drive the transverse belt 103, so that the operator can place the bean product embryos on the transverse belt 103 and automatically convey them.

[0038] In a further preferred embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown:

[0039] A slide 19 is connected to one side of the fixed frame 101. The top of the support frame 3 and the feeding frame 4 is provided with a feeding port 20 located directly above the two sets of drive rollers 6. The slide 19 is located above the feeding port 20. An elastic limiting piece 21 is fixed to the outside of the slide 19 by bolts. The slide 19 facilitates the transfer of the bean product embryos on the horizontal belt 103 from the feeding port 20 to the two sets of vertical belts 5, so that they can be split in half during the downward movement. At the same time, the elastic limiting piece 21 is used to prevent the embryos from flying outward due to inertia when they slide out of the slide 19.

[0040] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown:

[0041] A limiting plate 22 is fixed on the support frame 3 to support and limit the driven roller 7. The limiting plate 22 is located between the two sets of driven roller 7. The limiting plate 22 supports the two sets of driven roller 7, limits the minimum distance between the two sets of driven roller 7, and prevents the driven roller 7 from being moved to the middle, causing the two sets of vertical belts 5 to contact the dividing blade.

[0042] In practical use, the processed bean curd pieces are placed on the operating table 2. Then, the operators on both sides place the bean curd pieces one by one onto the horizontal belt 103. The horizontal belt 103 is driven by the drive motor 104 and the support roller 102, conveying the bean curd pieces towards the support frame 3. Then, they fall into the feeding frame 4 from the discharge port 20 along the slide 19. At this time, the thickness of the bean curd pieces is less than the distance between the upper ends of the vertical belts 5. As the bean curd pieces fall, they come into contact with the vertical belts 5 on both sides. At this time, the bean curd pieces do not come into contact with the dividing blades. The second servo motor 16 drives the two sets of second sprockets 17 to rotate through the second chain 18, driving a set of drive rollers 6. The drive rollers 6, with the cooperation of the driven rollers 7, drive a set of vertical belts 5. At the same time, the two sets of linkage gears 15 meshes, causing the two sets of drive rollers 6 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions, thereby causing the two sets of vertical belts 5 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The bean product embryo continues to move downward under the conveying of the vertical belts 5. At this time, the bean product embryo supports the vertical belts 5 outward, increasing the distance between the lower ends of the vertical belts 5. The driven roller 7 squeezes the support spring 93 outward, and the support spring 93, when squeezed, supports the driven roller 7 in the opposite direction, restricting the vertical belts 5 from being tightly attached to the bean product embryo. When the bean product embryo moves above the dividing blade, the first servo motor 12 drives the two sets of first sprockets 13 to rotate in cooperation with the first chain 14, driving the rotating shaft 10. The rotating shaft 10 drives the dividing blade to rotate, dividing the bean product embryo in half. The two halves of dried bean curd continue to fall into the collection box below in the feeding frame 4.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
