Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, specifically a small pressing cage. Background Technology

[0002] Existing small-scale pressing cages typically employ a fixed base structure, requiring manual layering of sauces or materials to be pressed into the cage during loading. When the cage height reaches approximately 1 meter, manual layering becomes difficult and inefficient. Furthermore, after pressing, the residue must be manually removed layer by layer, and the considerable cage height also presents challenges for removing the dry residue.

[0003] In addition, in automated pressing integrated systems, the automatic sauce / material dispensing equipment has certain requirements on the height of the sauce / material dispensing. If it is too deep or too shallow, it will affect the use of the automatic sauce / material dispensing equipment. Therefore, small pressing cages with fixed bottom plate structures are often difficult to cooperate with automatic sauce / material dispensing equipment to achieve automated operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a small pressing cage, which solves the difficulties in manual material feeding and slag discharge of small pressing cages. It also enables the small pressing cage to be used in conjunction with automatic sauce / material feeding equipment to achieve automated operation.

[0005] This application provides a small pressing cage, including: a cage body; a bottom plate movably disposed within the cage body; and a lifting assembly with one end fixedly disposed in the cage body and the other end fixedly connected to the bottom plate for raising and lowering the bottom plate.

[0006] According to the technical solution, the bottom plate is movably installed inside the cage. When the sauce / clothing is being spread, the bottom plate is raised to a suitable height by a lifting component that is fixed at one end to the cage and at the other end to the bottom plate. The bottom plate then descends as the sauce / clothing is spread, thus ensuring that the manual or automatic sauce / clothing equipment is always kept at a suitable height for the sauce / clothing operation.

[0007] In the optional technical solution, multiple lifting components are arranged symmetrically about the center of the cage, and each component is fixed at one end to the outside of the side wall of the cage.

[0008] According to this technical solution, by symmetrically arranging multiple lifting components about the center of the cage, the bottom plate is subjected to multi-angle and symmetrical tension, ensuring uniform force distribution during lifting and effectively avoiding potential tilting or jamming issues. Simultaneously, by fixing one end of the lifting component to the outer side wall of the cage, the lifting component's operation is facilitated while avoiding occupying internal space within the small pressing cage, thus increasing the material capacity and improving pressing efficiency.

[0009] In the optional technical solution, the other end of the lifting assembly is fixedly connected to the edge of the base plate.

[0010] According to the technical solution, by fixing the other end of the lifting component to the edge of the base plate, the base plate can obtain a more stable supporting torque during the lifting process, avoiding deformation or tilting caused by uneven force in the middle of the base plate. At the same time, it also ensures that the material can be evenly placed in the middle of the small pressing cage, further improving the stability and durability of the base plate during the lifting process.

[0011] In the optional technical solution, the lifting assembly includes: a drive unit fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the cage; a steel cable wound and fixed to the drive unit, one end of the steel cable being fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the cage, and the other end being fixedly connected to the bottom plate.

[0012] According to this technical solution, a combination structure of drive unit and steel cable is adopted, making the lifting and lowering of the base plate simpler and more flexible. Efficient force transmission is achieved through steel cable drive, reducing the driving force requirement. At the same time, the drive unit is installed on the outside of the cage, facilitating operation while avoiding contact with materials, thus improving the hygiene and ease of maintenance of the equipment.

[0013] In the optional technical solution, the drive unit is a manual winch.

[0014] According to this technical solution, by setting the drive unit as a manual winch, the lifting and lowering operation of the base plate can be completed without the need for an additional power source. The structure is simple and the cost is low, making it suitable for small-scale production scenarios with manual operations.

[0015] In the optional technical solution, the drive unit is an automatic winch.

[0016] According to this technical solution, by setting the drive unit as an automatic winch, the base plate can be automatically raised and lowered in scenarios such as electric or hydraulic drive, which can significantly reduce the intensity of manual operation and provide conditions for small pressing cages to cooperate with automatic sauce / cloth spreading equipment to achieve automated operation, thereby improving the overall system's production efficiency.

[0017] In an optional technical solution, the small pressing cage also includes a sensor disposed inside the cage body, which is communicatively connected to the drive unit and used to detect the lifting height of the bottom plate.

[0018] According to this technical solution, by installing sensors inside the cage and communicating with the drive unit, the height of the bottom plate can be detected in real time. This allows the bottom plate to be raised or lowered at a height that matches the material thickness, achieving precise control and ensuring that manual or automatic sauce / material spreading equipment always maintains the appropriate height for spreading operations. This not only ensures the uniformity of the material layer but also improves the stability of the linkage with automatic sauce / material spreading equipment.

[0019] In the optional technical solutions, the cage body is square in shape.

[0020] In the optional technical solution, multiple lifting components are fixedly installed on the outer sides of the corresponding two side walls of the cage.

[0021] According to this technical solution, by symmetrically installing multiple lifting components on the outer sides of opposite side walls of the cage, the balance of the bottom plate lifting can be further improved, avoiding tilting or jamming caused by unilateral force, ensuring stable operation of the bottom plate during lifting, thereby improving the reliability and lifespan of the equipment. Meanwhile, the absence of lifting components on the other two side walls facilitates manual operation during material / soy sauce distribution and avoids interference caused by lifting components occupying too much space when the small pressing cage enters the press.

[0026] 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.

[0027] <First Implementation Method> Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the small pressing cage provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the bottom plate 102 of the small pressing cage 1 provided in the embodiments of this application after it has been raised. (See attached diagram) Figure 1 and 2As shown, the small pressing cage 1 provided in this application embodiment includes: a cage body 101, a bottom plate 102 movably disposed in the cage body 101, and a lifting component 103 with one end fixedly disposed in the cage body 101 and the other end fixedly connected to the bottom plate 102, which drives the bottom plate 102 in the cage body 101 to be raised or lowered.

[0028] During the sauce / material spreading process, the lifting assembly 103 raises the bottom plate 102 to a specified height above the top of the cage 101, facilitating the even distribution of materials onto the surface of the bottom plate 102. As the spreading process progresses, the lifting assembly 103 lowers the bottom plate 102 to a height corresponding to the material being spread, ensuring that the top surface of the uppermost layer remains at the specified height above the top of the cage 101. This allows workers to spread the sauce / material at a suitable height, improving efficiency. Furthermore, maintaining a suitable working height also enhances the quality of the spreading process, preventing issues such as uneven thickness or density of the material layer, or uneven surface, which can occur due to unsuitable height and operational difficulties.

[0029] After the fabric / steaming process is completed, i.e., when the bottom plate 102 descends to the lowest point of the cage 101, the small pressing cage 1 is sent into the press. The press then presses the material inside the small pressing cage 1, achieving solid-liquid separation. The pressed liquid is collected by an oil receiving tray (not shown) outside the small pressing cage 1, while the remaining, denser dry residue is still loaded inside the small pressing cage 1 after pressing.

[0030] At this point, workers need to further remove the dry residue from the pressing cage. After pressing, the overall density of the dry residue increases and its volume decreases. The lifting component 103 raises the bottom plate 102 to maintain a specified distance between the top of the uppermost dry residue and the top of the cage 101, making it easier for workers to remove the dry residue after pressing. Furthermore, during the removal of the dry residue, the lifting component 103 raises the bottom plate 102 to maintain a specified distance between the top of the uppermost dry residue and the top of the cage 101, further improving the efficiency of the residue removal operation.

[0031] It should be noted that the small pressing cage 1 mentioned in the embodiments of this application is a pressing cage with an overall height of no more than 1.5 meters, so that workers can stand on both sides of the cage 101 to carry out the sauce / clothing operation.

[0032] Furthermore, it should be noted that this application does not limit the distance between the bottom plate 102 and the top of the cage 101 after the bottom plate is raised to its highest point. Different prescribed heights based on the specific structure and height of the small pressing cage 1 should all be included within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] Figure 3 This is a top view of the small pressing cage 1 provided in the embodiments of this application. Further reference is made to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this application, multiple lifting components 103 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the cage 101, and each component is fixed at one end to the outside of the side wall of the cage 101.

[0034] During the process of adjusting the height of the base plate 102 via the lifting assembly 103, multiple lifting assemblies 103 symmetrically arranged around the center of the base plate 102 operate simultaneously, jointly driving the base plate 102 to rise or fall. Simultaneously, by fixing one end of the lifting assembly to the outside of the side wall of the cage 101, the adjustment of the lifting assembly 103 can be completed from the outside of the cage 101. This facilitates the operation of the lifting assembly 103 while avoiding occupying the internal space of the small pressing cage 101, thereby increasing the material capacity within the cage 101 and improving the pressing efficiency.

[0035] Furthermore, through the above-described embodiments, by simultaneously applying tension to the base plate 102 in a symmetrical direction through multiple lifting components 103, the operational difficulty of any one of the lifting components 103 is reduced, and the force on the base plate 102 is uniform during the lifting process, effectively avoiding the problems of tilting or jamming that may occur during the lifting process.

[0036] Furthermore, the other end of the lifting assembly 103 is fixedly connected to the edge of the base plate 102. By simultaneously applying tension at different symmetrical positions on the edge of the base plate 102, the base plate 102 can be smoothly raised and lowered horizontally. This allows the base plate 102 to obtain a more stable supporting torque during the lifting process, avoiding deformation or tilting caused by uneven force distribution in the middle of the base plate 102. At the same time, it also ensures that the material can be evenly placed in the middle of the small pressing cage 1 without interference from the lifting assembly 103, further improving the stability and durability of the base plate 102 during the lifting process.

[0037] Further reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this application, the lifting assembly 103 further includes: a drive unit 1031 fixedly disposed on the outer side wall of the cage 101, and a steel cable 1032 wound and fixed to the drive unit 1031, one end of the steel cable 1032 being fixed to the outer side wall of the cage 101, and the other end being fixedly connected to the bottom plate 102.

[0038] Optionally, the drive unit 1031 is a manual winch.

[0039] Specifically, the manual winch is fixed to the outside of the side wall of the cage 101. One end of the steel cable 1032 coiled around the winch is fixed to the outside of the side wall of the cage 101 in a manner that is located below the height direction of the manual winch, and the other end is fixedly connected to the edge of the bottom plate 102. By rotating and coiling the manual winch, the effective length of the steel cable 1032 between the manual winch and the bottom plate 102 is shortened or increased, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the bottom plate 102.

[0040] Through the above implementation methods, the combination of a manual winch and steel cable 1032 makes the lifting and lowering of the base plate 102 simpler and more flexible. The steel cable 1032 transmission achieves efficient force transfer, reducing the driving force requirement. Meanwhile, the drive unit 1031 is installed on the outside of the cage 101, facilitating operation while avoiding contact with materials, thus improving the hygiene and ease of maintenance of the equipment.

[0041] Furthermore, a pulley 1033 is installed at the top of the cage 101 corresponding to the lifting structure. The pulley 1033 reduces the resistance when the steel cable 1032 is extended or retracted, thus reducing the difficulty of manual operation. It also avoids the problem of potential malfunctions caused by long-term contact between the steel cable 1032 and the cage 101 itself and continuous friction during lifting.

[0042] Furthermore, the manual winch is also equipped with an operating handle 1034. By rotating the operating handle 1034, the manual winch is rotated, thereby adjusting the steel cable 1032 and raising or lowering the bottom plate 102 inside the cage 101. The operating handle 1034 makes the manual operation of the lifting assembly 103 more convenient and reduces the workload of the workers.

[0043] Depending on the number and location of the lifting components 103, the operating handle 1034 can be configured to correspond one-to-one with the manual winches, or one operating handle 1034 can control two or more manual winches simultaneously. This further optimizes the operation of the lifting structure and avoids the waste of manpower caused by requiring multiple people to operate simultaneously. At the same time, controlling two or more manual winches simultaneously with one operating handle 1034 also ensures the stable horizontal lifting of the base plate 102, avoiding problems such as tilting or jamming of the base plate 102 that may occur if not operated simultaneously.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the cage 101 is generally square.

[0045] Furthermore, multiple lifting components 103 are respectively fixedly installed on the outer sides of the corresponding two side walls of the cage 101.

[0046] Through the above-described embodiments, symmetrically installing multiple lifting components 103 on the opposite sidewalls of the cage 101 further improves the balance of the lifting of the bottom plate 102, avoids tilting or jamming caused by unilateral force, and ensures the stable operation of the bottom plate 102 during the lifting process, thereby improving the reliability of the small pressing cage 1. Meanwhile, the absence of lifting components 103 on the other two sidewalls facilitates manual operation during material / soy sauce distribution and avoids interference caused by the lifting components 103 occupying a large space when the small pressing cage 1 enters the press.

[0047] <Second Implementation Method> The small pressing cage 1 of the second embodiment of this application is described with the same name and symbols as the small pressing cage 1 of the first embodiment of this application, and the contents are the same, so they will not be described again here.

[0048] Unlike the first embodiment of this application, the driving part 1031 of the lifting assembly 103 provided in the second embodiment is an automatic winch.

[0049] The small pressing cage 1 in the above embodiments of this application optimizes the automated operation of the lifting system by setting the drive unit 1031 as an automatic winch, and further adapts the small pressing cage 1 to the automated pressing integrated system to achieve automation.

[0050] During the sauce / material spreading process, the automatic winch rotates, shortening the steel cable 1032 and automatically raising the bottom plate 102 to the operating height of the automatic sauce / material spreading equipment in the automated pressing integrated system. This facilitates the automatic sauce / material spreading equipment to spread materials into the small pressing cage 1. As the sauce / material spreading operation proceeds, after each layer of material is spread, the automatic winch rotates to release the steel cable 1032, controlling the bottom plate 102 to descend to the height corresponding to the spread material, thereby ensuring that the top surface of the uppermost layer of material is always kept at the operating height of the automatic sauce / material spreading equipment.

[0051] The automatic slag removal process is the same as the automatic sauce / material spreading process. The automatic winch rotates to keep the bottom plate 102 at a height that is compatible with the automatic slag removal equipment. The specific process will not be described in detail here.

[0052] Furthermore, the small pressing cage 1 is also equipped with a sensor (not shown in the figure). The sensor is communicatively connected to the drive unit 1031 and is used to detect the lifting or lowering height of the bottom plate 102. Each time a layer of sauce / material is applied, the bottom plate 102 is automatically lowered by one layer in conjunction with the drive unit 1031, ensuring that the lifting or lowering height of the bottom plate 102 matches the material thickness. This achieves precise control and ensures that the automatic sauce / material application equipment always maintains a suitable height for application. This not only ensures the uniformity of the material layer but also improves the stability of the linkage with the automatic sauce / material application equipment.

[0053] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
