Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, specifically a multi-functional grinding machine for processing soybean products. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of soy products, the grinding process is one of the crucial steps affecting product quality and production efficiency. Currently, most grinding equipment on the market adopts a single-function design, mainly using a simple mechanical grinding structure to complete the pulping process of soy milk or other soy product raw materials. However, in practical applications, these devices usually require additional auxiliary devices such as filters and stirrers, resulting in a large overall equipment size and high installation and maintenance costs. Furthermore, when processing different types of beans, traditional grinding machines often require manual adjustment of the grinding gap or replacement of parts, making the operation cumbersome and difficult to guarantee product consistency.

[0003] For example, existing pulping equipment typically includes a drive motor, a grinding disc, and a feed hopper. The grinding disc is mostly fixed, only suitable for raw materials of a specific particle size. When processing harder or larger beans, insufficient grinding or clogging can easily occur. Furthermore, due to the lack of multi-functional integrated design, traditional equipment requires separate equipment for separating residues and further refining the pulp after grinding. This not only increases the complexity of the production process but may also lead to resource waste and reduced efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, we propose improvements to address the above problems and design a multi-functional grinding machine for processing soybean products. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of existing grinding equipment for soybean product processing, such as limited functionality, cumbersome operation, insufficient grinding, and low production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives and address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a multi-functional grinding machine for processing soybean products, comprising a main structure and multi-functional components. The main structure includes a drive unit, a grinding unit, and a separation unit. The multi-functional components are located inside the main structure and work collaboratively with each unit. The drive unit drives the grinding unit to crush and refine the raw materials, while the separation unit filters and separates residues from the slurry, thus achieving an integrated grinding and separation process. Adjustable components are provided on both sides of the main structure, and each adjustable component contains a sliding adjustment mechanism.

[0007] The grinding unit includes a spindle and multiple grinding discs mounted on the spindle. Each grinding disc has several conical protrusions on its surface, with these protrusions staggered between adjacent grinding discs to form dynamic gaps. Each grinding disc has an annular baffle on its outer side, which is bolted to the grinding disc. The inner surface of the annular baffle is coated with a wear-resistant coating. One end of the spindle is connected to the output end of the drive unit via a coupling, and the other end is fixed to the bottom of the main structure via a bearing seat.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the drive unit includes a motor and a speed change mechanism. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the input end of the speed change mechanism via a pulley, and the output end of the speed change mechanism meshes with the main shaft via a gear set. An adjustment knob is provided on the housing of the speed change mechanism. The adjustment knob is used to manually adjust the transmission ratio of the gear set, thereby changing the speed of the main shaft to adapt to different types of bean raw materials.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the separation unit includes a filter assembly and a guide plate. The filter assembly is composed of multiple layers of metal filter screens with different pore sizes stacked together, with each layer connected by snap-fit ​​connections. A guide plate is located below the filter assembly, and the guide plate is inclined, with its upper end connecting to the outlet end of the filter assembly and its lower end extending to the slag discharge port of the main structure. A spray device is located above the filter assembly, and the spray device is connected to an external water source via a pipe for rinsing the filter assembly during the separation process.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the adjusting component includes a slide rail and a fixed base. The slide rail is longitudinally arranged along the side wall of the main structure, and the fixed base is fixed to the top of the main structure by bolts. The sliding adjustment mechanism includes a slider and a locking screw. The slider is slidably connected inside the slide rail, and the bottom of the slider is hinged to the top of the grinding unit. The locking screw passes through the slider and is threaded to the side of the slide rail to fix the position of the slider.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the feed hopper is located at the top of the main structure, and the outlet end of the feed hopper is connected to the inlet end of the grinding unit via a flexible hose. The inner wall of the feed hopper is provided with a spiral guide plate, which spirals upward along the inner wall of the feed hopper to guide the raw material to enter the grinding unit evenly.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the bottom of the main structure is provided with a vibration device, which includes a vibration motor and a spring assembly. The vibration motor is fixed at the center of the bottom of the main structure, and the spring assembly is arranged around the vibration motor, with both ends of the spring assembly connected to the bottom plate of the main structure and the ground, respectively.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer shell of the main structure adopts a double-layer structure design, with sound insulation material filling the space between the inner and outer layers to reduce the noise generated during equipment operation.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By incorporating grinding and separation units, the system achieves efficient crushing and refining of raw materials during the grinding process, while simultaneously separating the slurry from the residue. This reduces reliance on independent filtration equipment, lowering equipment size and maintenance costs. The design of adjustable components and a sliding adjustment mechanism allows for flexible adjustment of the grinding unit's working height based on raw material characteristics, optimizing grinding performance. Furthermore, the staggered arrangement of conical protrusions increases the shear force on the grinding disc surface, improving the processing capacity for harder or larger particles. The multi-layered filter design in the separation unit effectively separates residues of different particle sizes, while the introduction of a spray device prevents filter clogging. The vibration device further enhances separation efficiency, while the double-layered shell structure significantly reduces operating noise, improving the comfort of the operating environment. These combined technical features address the issues of limited functionality, complex operation, and low production efficiency in existing grinding equipment, providing a more efficient and convenient solution for soybean product processing.

[0021] This utility model provides a multi-functional grinding machine for processing soybean products, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a main structure 1, a drive unit 2, a grinding unit 3, and a separation unit 4. The main structure 1 serves as the support frame for the equipment, housing all the aforementioned units and achieving integrated operation through a rational layout. The drive unit 2 is installed on one side of the main structure 1 and connected to the main shaft 5 of the grinding unit 3, providing power support. The grinding unit 3 is located in the middle of the main structure 1 and is responsible for crushing and refining the raw materials. The separation unit 4 is located below the grinding unit 3 and is used to filter out residues from the slurry and discharge them. Adjustable components 12 are provided on both sides of the main structure 1, each containing a sliding adjustment mechanism for adjusting the working height of the grinding unit 3.

[0022] The specific structure of grinding unit 3 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, its core components are a main shaft 5 and multiple grinding discs 6 mounted on the main shaft 5. The upper end of the main shaft 5 is connected to the output end of the drive unit 2 via a coupling, and the lower end is fixed to the bottom of the main structure 1 via a bearing seat, ensuring the stability of the main shaft 5 during high-speed rotation. Each grinding disc 6 has several conical protrusions 7 on its surface. The conical protrusions 7 between adjacent grinding discs 6 are staggered to form a dynamic gap, thereby enhancing shearing force and grinding effect. An annular baffle 8 is provided on the outer side of the grinding disc 6. The annular baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the grinding disc 6 by bolts to prevent raw materials from overflowing during the grinding process. The inner surface of the annular baffle 8 is coated with a wear-resistant coating to extend its service life. The rotation of the main shaft 5 drives the grinding discs 6 to perform multiple shearing and extrusion operations on the raw materials, thereby achieving efficient crushing and refining.

[0023] The drive unit 2 includes a motor and a speed-changing mechanism. The motor's output shaft is connected to the input end of the speed-changing mechanism via a pulley, and the output end of the speed-changing mechanism meshes with the main shaft 5 via a gear set. An adjustment knob is located on the housing of the speed-changing mechanism. This knob allows manual operation to change the gear ratio, thereby adjusting the speed of the main shaft 5. This design enables the equipment to adapt to different types of bean raw materials, such as harder soybeans or softer mung beans, allowing users to flexibly adjust the speed according to their needs.

[0024] The structure of separation unit 4 is as follows Figure 3As shown, its core components are the filter assembly 9 and the guide plate 10. The filter assembly 9 is composed of multiple layers of metal filter screens with different pore sizes, and each layer of filter screen is connected by snap-fit, which facilitates disassembly and cleaning. Below the filter assembly 9 is the guide plate 10, which is inclined, with its upper end connecting to the outlet end of the filter assembly 9 and its lower end extending to the slag discharge port of the main structure 1, used to guide the discharge of residue. Above the filter assembly 9 is a spray device 11, which is connected to an external water source through a pipe, used to rinse the filter assembly 9 during the separation process to prevent filter screen clogging. The slurry flows into the collection container after being filtered stage by stage by the filter assembly 9, while the residue is discharged along the guide plate 10.

[0025] The specific structure of the adjusting element 12 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it includes a slide rail 13 and a fixed base. The slide rail 13 is longitudinally arranged along the side wall of the main structure 1, and the fixed base is fixed to the top of the main structure 1 by bolts. The sliding adjustment mechanism includes a slider 14 and a locking screw 15. The slider 14 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 13, and the bottom of the slider 14 is connected to the top of the grinding unit 3 by a hinge. The locking screw 15 passes through the slider 14 and is threadedly connected to the side of the slide rail 13 to fix the position of the slider 14. By loosening the locking screw 15, the user can move the slider 14 up and down along the slide rail 13 to adjust the working height of the grinding unit 3 to adapt to the grinding requirements of different raw materials.

[0026] The feed hopper 16 is located at the top of the main structure 1, and its outlet end is connected to the inlet end of the grinding unit 3 via a flexible hose 18. The inner wall of the feed hopper 16 is provided with a spiral guide plate 17, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the spiral guide plate 17 spirals upward along the inner wall of the feed hopper 16 to guide the raw material into the grinding unit 3 evenly. The flexible hose 18 can buffer the vibration transmission between the feed hopper 16 and the grinding unit 3, avoiding any impact on the stability of the equipment operation.

[0027] A vibration device, comprising a vibration motor and a spring assembly, is installed at the bottom of the main structure 1. The vibration motor is fixed at the center of the bottom of the main structure 1, and the spring assembly surrounds the vibration motor, with its two ends connected to the base plate of the main structure 1 and the ground, respectively. The vibration of the vibration motor is transmitted to the main structure 1 through the spring assembly, causing the filter assembly 9 in the separation unit 4 to vibrate slightly, thereby improving the filtration efficiency. The outer shell of the main structure 1 adopts a double-layer structure design, with sound-insulating material filling the space between the inner and outer layers to reduce the noise generated during equipment operation.

[0028] In actual operation, the user first pours the raw beans to be processed into the feed hopper 16. The raw materials are evenly fed into the flexible hose 18 along the spiral guide plate 17 and finally reach the grinding unit 3. After starting the drive unit 2, the motor drives the main shaft 5 to rotate through the pulley and speed change mechanism. The main shaft 5 drives the grinding disc 6 to rotate at high speed. The raw materials are subjected to shearing and squeezing between the conical protrusions 7 of the grinding disc 6 and are gradually broken into fine particles. After multiple grinding processes, the raw materials form a slurry and flow out from the outlet of the grinding unit 3 into the separation unit 4.

[0029] In the separation unit 4, the slurry is first filtered through multiple layers of filter screens in the filter assembly 9. Larger residues are trapped on the filter screens, while the slurry flows through the filter screens into the collection container. The spray device 11 continuously sprays clean water onto the filter assembly 9 to prevent clogging. At the same time, the vibration generated by the vibration device further improves the filtration efficiency, ensuring that the residue can be smoothly discharged along the guide plate 10. The user can adjust the working height of the grinding unit 3 through the adjusting component 12 to optimize the grinding effect. In addition, the double-layer shell design of the main structure 1 effectively reduces the operating noise of the equipment and improves the comfort of the operating environment.

[0030] This invention achieves integrated grinding and separation in the soybean product processing process through the coordinated operation of the above-mentioned components, which significantly improves production efficiency and product quality, while reducing equipment size and maintenance costs.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the following supplementary explanation of the implementation principle of this utility model is provided in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0032] First, the user pours the raw beans to be processed into the feed hopper 16. The raw materials are evenly distributed along the spiral guide plate 17 in a spiral upward manner and are then conveyed to the grinding unit 3 through the flexible hose 18. The design of the spiral guide plate 17 not only guides the raw materials smoothly into the grinding unit 3 but also avoids uneven feeding caused by raw material accumulation. The flexible hose 18 effectively buffers the vibration transmission between the feed hopper 16 and the grinding unit 3, ensuring the stability of the equipment operation.

[0033] Subsequently, drive unit 2 is activated, and the motor transmits power to the main shaft 5 via pulleys and a speed-changing mechanism. The main shaft 5 drives multiple grinding discs 6 to rotate at high speed. Each grinding disc 6 has several conical protrusions 7 on its surface, and the conical protrusions 7 between adjacent grinding discs 6 are staggered to form dynamic gaps. The raw material is subjected to the combined action of shearing and compressive forces between the conical protrusions 7, and is gradually broken into fine particles. An annular baffle 8 is fixed to the outside of the grinding disc 6 with bolts to prevent the raw material from overflowing during the grinding process, while the wear-resistant coating on its inner side significantly extends its service life. By adjusting the adjustment knob on the speed-changing mechanism, the user can adjust the speed of the main shaft 5 according to different types of bean raw materials, thereby optimizing the grinding effect. For example, when processing harder soybeans, the speed of the main shaft 5 can be increased to enhance the shearing force; while when processing softer mung beans, the speed can be appropriately reduced to avoid over-grinding.

[0034] After multiple grinding processes, the raw materials form a slurry and flow out from the outlet of grinding unit 3, entering separation unit 4. The filter assembly 9 in separation unit 4 is composed of multiple layers of metal filter screens with different pore sizes. The slurry is filtered through each layer of filter screens. Larger residues are trapped on the filter screens, while the slurry flows through the filter screens into the collection container. The spray device 11 continuously sprays clean water onto the filter assembly 9 to prevent clogging. Simultaneously, the vibration device at the bottom of the main structure 1 generates slight vibrations through a vibration motor and spring assembly. This vibration is transmitted to the filter assembly 9, further improving filtration efficiency and ensuring that residues can be smoothly discharged along the guide plate 10. The guide plate 10 is inclined, with its lower end extending to the slag discharge port of the main structure 1, facilitating the centralized treatment of residues.

[0035] In actual operation, if the working height of the grinding unit 3 needs to be adjusted, the user can do so via the adjusting component 12. After loosening the locking screw 15, the slider 14 moves up and down along the slide rail 13, thereby changing the height of the grinding unit 3. After adjustment, tightening the locking screw 15 will fix the position of the slider 14. This design allows the equipment to adapt to the grinding requirements of different raw materials. For example, when processing larger particles, the height of the grinding unit 3 can be appropriately increased to expand the dynamic gap, thereby avoiding clogging.

[0036] Furthermore, the outer shell of the main structure 1 adopts a double-layer design, with sound-insulating material filling the space between the inner and outer layers. This design effectively reduces noise generated during equipment operation and improves the comfort of the operating environment. The introduction of the vibration device not only improves separation efficiency but also reduces resonance during equipment operation to a certain extent, further enhancing the stability of the equipment.

[0037] As can be seen from the above steps, this utility model achieves integrated grinding and separation in the soybean product processing process through the coordinated work of various components. The staggered arrangement of the conical protrusions 7 in the grinding unit 3 significantly enhances the shearing force, thereby improving the processing capacity for harder or larger particles; the multi-layer filter screen combination design in the separation unit 4 effectively separates residues of different particle sizes, while the introduction of the spray device 11 avoids the problem of filter screen clogging. The vibration device further improves the separation efficiency, while the double-layer shell structure significantly reduces the operating noise of the equipment. These technical features work together to significantly improve production efficiency and product quality, while reducing equipment size and maintenance costs, providing a more efficient and convenient solution for soybean product processing.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
