[0013] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0014] Please see Figures 1-5 In this utility model: a continuous braising device for dried tofu includes a base 1. An electric push rod 2 is inserted into and fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A lifting block 3 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 2. A rotating plate 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting block 3. A motor 5 is embedded inside the lifting block 3. The output shaft of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 4. Two workstations 6 and two circular grooves 7 are opened on the top of the base 1. Four sealing plates 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 4. The bottoms of the four sealing plates 8 are respectively located inside the two workstations 6 and the two circular grooves 7. A circular block 9 is provided at the bottom of each of the four sealing plates 8. Four electric push rods 10 are inserted into and fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 4. The telescopic ends of the four electric push rods 10... Four sealing plates 8 are respectively passed through and fixedly connected to four circular blocks 9. The bottom of each of the four circular blocks 9 is fitted with a storage basket 11 that is threadedly connected to it. A preheating mechanism 12 is set inside the left circular groove 7, and a braising mechanism 13 is set inside the back circular groove 7. The preheating mechanism 12 includes an air inlet pipe 121. The right end of the air inlet pipe 121 passes through the base 1 and is connected to the inner wall of the left circular groove 7. The inner wall of the left circular groove 7 is connected to an air outlet pipe 122. The left end of the air outlet pipe 122 passes through and extends to the outside of the base 1. The braising mechanism 13 includes an electric heating plate 131. The bottom of the electric heating plate 131 is embedded in the inner bottom wall of the back circular groove 7. The inner wall of the back circular groove 7 is connected to two conduits 132. Solenoid valves 133 are installed on both conduits 132.

[0015] In this utility model, the front workstation 6 is used for workers to operate the storage basket 11, the right workstation 6 is used to cool the dried tofu in the storage basket 11, the left circular groove 7 is used to preheat the dried tofu, and the back circular groove 7 is used to braise the dried tofu.

[0016] When processing dried tofu, first rotate the storage basket 11 located in the front work station 6. The storage basket 11 is threadedly connected to the circular block 9, so the storage basket 11 can be removed from the circular block 9. Then, the dried tofu can be placed into the storage basket 11. Then, the storage basket 11 is rotated back to the bottom of the circular block 9, thereby realizing the feeding of dried tofu.

[0017] After the tofu is loaded, the electric push rod 2 is turned on to drive the rotating plate 4 to rise. During this process, the storage basket 11 will be driven upward until the bottom of the storage basket 11 is higher than the base 1. At this time, the motor 5 is turned on to drive the rotating plate 4 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise. At this time, the storage basket 11 containing the tofu will be above the circular groove 7 on the left. Then, the electric push rod 2 is turned on in the opposite direction to drive the rotating plate 4 to descend. During this process, the storage basket 11 will enter the circular groove 7, and the sealing plate 8 will seal the top of the circular groove 7.

[0018] To address the issue that directly braising tofu requires a certain heating time, which affects processing efficiency, this solution provides Example 1: After the storage basket 11 is located inside the circular groove 7 on the left, the user inputs hot steam into the air inlet pipe 121. The hot steam will enter the circular groove 7 on the left and then be discharged from the air outlet pipe 122. During the process of the hot steam flowing inside the circular groove 7, the hot steam will heat the dried tofu, thereby achieving the effect of preheating the dried tofu.

[0019] After the tofu has been heated, the electric push rod 2 is turned on again to raise the rotating plate 4. Then the motor 5 is turned on to rotate the rotating plate 4 90 degrees. At this time, the storage basket 11, along with the preheated tofu, will be located above another circular trough 7. The electric push rod 2 is controlled to move the storage basket 11 into the circular trough 7. The circular trough 7 on the back contains the ingredients required for braising. Before processing begins, the electric heating plate 131 is turned on to heat the ingredients to the required temperature. After the storage basket 11 enters the circular trough 7, it will be submerged in the ingredients, and the braising of the tofu will begin.

[0020] After the tofu is braised, control the electric push rod 2 to drive the rotating plate 4 to rise, and turn on the motor 5 to drive the rotating plate 4 to rotate 90 degrees. At this time, the storage basket 11 will be located at the top of the right station 6. Then control the electric push rod 2 to drive the storage basket 11 into the right station 6. At this time, the storage basket 11 will be naturally cooled.

[0021] When removing the dried tofu, control the electric push rod 2 to drive the rotating plate 4 to rise, and then turn on the motor 5 to drive the rotating plate 4 to rotate 90 degrees. At this time, the storage basket 11 will be located above the front work station 6. Then control the electric push rod 2 to drive the storage basket 11 into the front work station 6, thus completing the feeding of the dried tofu.

[0022] During the processing of dried tofu, multiple storage baskets 11 can be filled with dried tofu at the same time. The dried tofu in each storage basket 11 undergoes different processing steps, thereby achieving continuous processing of dried tofu. Moreover, when the dried tofu in a storage basket 11 located in the circular groove 7 on the back is being braised, the storage basket 11 on the left is being preheated, the storage basket 11 on the front is loading and unloading dried tofu, and the dried tofu in the storage basket 11 on the right is being cooled. This process can effectively improve time utilization and increase the efficiency of braising and processing dried tofu.

[0023] To address the unevenness that occurs during the braising, preheating, and cooling processes of dried tofu, this solution provides Example 2: During the braising, preheating, and cooling of dried tofu, the electric push rod 10 is repeatedly switched between forward and reverse directions, which can drive the storage basket 11 to move up and down. As the storage basket 11 moves up and down, it will drive the dried tofu to move up and down, so that the dried tofu is heated or cooled evenly, thereby improving the processing efficiency and quality of dried tofu.

[0024] During the braising process of dried tofu, the ingredients are continuously heated, and the circular trough 7 is in a sealed state, which generates a certain pressure. When the pressure is too high, a safety accident may easily occur. To avoid dangerous accidents, this solution provides Example 3: Please see Figure 5 The inner wall of the circular groove 7 on the back is connected to an exhaust pipe 14. The left end of the exhaust pipe 14 passes through the base 1 and is connected to the left circular groove 7. A pressure relief valve 15 is installed on the exhaust pipe 14.

[0025] In this invention, if the pressure in the circular groove 7 exceeds the threshold, the pressure relief valve 15 will open, and the pressure in the circular groove 7 will be discharged into the preheating circular groove 7 through the exhaust pipe 14. The air discharged into the preheating circular groove 7 will be discharged from the air outlet pipe 122, thereby achieving the effect of relieving pressure in the circular groove 7 and reducing the occurrence of dangerous accidents.

[0026] Please see Figures 2-5 The bottom wall of the right workstation 6 is provided with a liquid storage tank 16, and the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 16 is connected to a drain pipe 17, on which a valve is installed.

[0027] In this invention, the liquid storage tank 16 is used to collect the ingredients dripping from the storage basket 11, and the collected liquid ingredients can be discharged through the drain pipe 17, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model; however, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
