Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of konjac processing equipment, specifically to a konjac vegetarian embryo processing and discharging device. Background Technology
[0002] Konjac vegetarian pre-form material, also known as konjac gel, is the basic raw material for making vegetarian tripe, vegetarian kidney, vegetarian shrimp, vegetarian squid, and other imitation meat-based vegetarian dishes. Its processing core utilizes the irreversible gelation properties of konjac glucomannan under alkaline conditions. This requires mixing konjac flour with water and adding alkaline solution for thorough stirring. The resulting gel is then extruded into shape and steamed to set. Traditional vegetarian pre-form material production requires multiple machines and manual assistance, resulting in low production efficiency and a high risk of contamination. Extruded pre-form materials are also prone to sticking together if not steamed promptly, affecting the quality of the final product. A new type of production equipment is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

The sealed rotary joint is installed on the bottom surface of the discharge pipe at the bottom of the refining cylinder. The sealed rotary joint is connected to the stirring shaft inside the refining cylinder. The upper half of the stirring shaft is equipped with a stirring rod, and the lower half of the shaft is equipped with spiral blades. The spiral blades cooperate with the inner wall of the discharge pipe. A control valve B is connected to one side of the bottom of the discharge pipe.
[0006] Furthermore, the drift tube is a downward-sloping spiral pipe, and the drift tube body is equipped with several observation ports, each of which is threadedly connected to a cap with a glass window.
[0007] Furthermore, the middle part of the cooking tank is separated by a perforated baffle, and an electric heating wire B is installed at the bottom of the cooking tank. The bottom of the cooking tank is connected to the input end of the circulation pump, and the output end of the circulation pump is connected to the spray cylinder embedded in the head end of the extrusion tank.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model mixes konjac flour with water in a mixing cylinder, then pumps the resulting konjac sol into a refining cylinder to mix with alkali. The alkali-mixed material is extruded and shaped at the extruder head. The resulting strips are pre-coagulated in a drift tube and then sterilized and heat-cured in a cooking tank.

[0015] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a konjac vegetarian embryo processing and discharging device includes a frame 1, a mixing cylinder 2 installed at the first end of the frame 1, a mixing motor 3 installed at the top of the mixing cylinder 2, the output end of the mixing motor 3 connected to a mixing shaft 4 inside the mixing cylinder 2, several mixing rods provided on opposite sides of the mixing shaft 4, a conveying motor A6 connected to the bottom of the mixing cylinder 2 through a control valve A5, the conveying motor A6 connected to a refining cylinder 7 installed in the middle of the frame 1, an alkali tank 15 of an alkali injection assembly installed on one side of the top surface of the refining cylinder 7, an electric heating wire A16 built into the alkali tank 15, and the bottom of the alkali tank 15 connected to the refining cylinder 7 through a control valve C17.
[0016] In this embodiment, a refining assembly is connected to the bottom of the refining cylinder 7. The refining assembly includes a refining motor 18. The output end of the refining motor 18 is connected to a sealing rotary joint 19. The sealing rotary joint 19 is installed on the bottom surface of the discharge pipe 701 at the bottom of the refining cylinder 7. The sealing rotary joint 19 is connected to the stirring shaft 20 inside the refining cylinder 7. The upper half of the stirring shaft 20 is provided with a stirring rod, and the lower half of the shaft is provided with a spiral blade 2001. The spiral blade 2001 cooperates with the inner wall of the discharge pipe 701. A control valve B8 is connected to one side of the bottom of the discharge pipe 701.
[0017] In this embodiment, control valve B8 is connected to the input end of conveying motor B9, and the output end of conveying motor B9 is threadedly connected to extruder 10. Extruder 10 with different opening shapes can be selected as needed. Extruder 10 is located above extrusion tank 11 connected to the tail end of frame 1. The output end of extrusion tank 11 is connected to cooking tank 13 through drift pipe 12. Drift pipe 12 is a downward spiral pipe. The body of drift pipe 12 is provided with several observation ports 1201. The observation ports 1201 are threadedly connected to a cover 21 with a glass window. The middle part of cooking tank 13 is separated by a perforated partition 22. The bottom of cooking tank 13 is provided with heating wire B23. The bottom side of cooking tank 13 is connected to the input end of circulation pump 14. The output end of circulation pump 14 is connected to the spray cylinder 24 embedded in the head end of extrusion tank 11.
[0018] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0019] Konjac flour and water are injected into mixing cylinder 2 through the top inlet. After feeding is complete, the inlet is closed, and mixing motor 3 is turned on to drive mixing shaft 4 to mix the materials in mixing cylinder 2, ensuring that the glucomannan in the konjac flour is fully hydrated and swollen to form konjac sol. Control valve A5 and conveying motor A6 are opened to draw the konjac sol into refining cylinder 7. At the same time, control valve C17 is opened to allow the alkali solution preheated by heating wire A16 in alkali tank 15 to flow slowly and evenly into refining cylinder 7. Refining motor 18 is started to fully mix the two. At this time, the viscosity of the sol increases sharply, forming a gelled preform. Control valve B8 and feed motor B9 are turned on. After being shaped by extruder head 10, the preform continuously enters extrusion tank 11 to form a preform. Water jets from spray cylinder 24 spray the preform into drift pipe 12. The preform moves downward with the water flow and undergoes preliminary thermal solidification under the high temperature of the water flow. Finally, it enters cooking tank 13 for cooking, shaping, and sterilization. The water in cooking tank 13 is heated by heating wire B23, and part of the water is pumped into spray cylinder 24 by circulation pump 14 to preheat the preform.
[0020] This invention uses a mixing cylinder 2 to mix konjac flour with water, then pumps the resulting konjac sol into a refining cylinder 7 to mix with alkali. The alkali-mixed material is then extruded and shaped at an extruder 10. The resulting strips are pre-coagulated through a drift tube 12 and then sterilized and heat-cured in a cooking tank 13. The entire process requires no manual intervention and can effectively prevent the strips from sticking together, making it highly efficient and clean.
[0021] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
