Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of soybean milk grinding, and more particularly to a soybean milk grinding device. Background Technology

[0002] Soybeans, belonging to the legume family, grow to 30-90 cm tall with stout, erect stems densely covered with long, stiff brown hairs. They are a crop whose seeds are rich in plant protein. Native to China, they are cultivated throughout the country and widely grown worldwide. Now one of China's important food crops, soybeans have a cultivation history of 5,000 years, with Northeast China being the main producing area. They are frequently used to make various soy products, extract soybean oil, brew soy sauce, and extract protein. Soybean residue or coarsely ground soybeans are also commonly used as livestock feed. It is the most nutritious of all legumes, ranking first among hundreds of natural foods, containing a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, various trace elements, vitamins, and high-quality protein. Soybeans can be processed into many kinds of soy products, which are beneficial foods for patients with hypertension, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, and other cardiovascular diseases. Because of their diverse uses, high nutritional value, wide cultivation, and ease of export, soybeans have played an important role in alleviating global hunger. During soybean processing, grinding equipment is often used to make soy milk.

[0003] Most existing soy milk grinding equipment works by putting soybeans into a grinder, then feeding the ground soy milk and residue into another grinder through pipes and an auger. This process involves grinding the soy milk and residue multiple times to prevent residue from entering the soy milk. After use, the pipes and auger need to be cleaned to prevent soy milk residue from remaining and spoiling, which would affect the quality of subsequent soy milk. However, when cleaning the pipes and auger, the pipes are difficult to disassemble. Usually, water is added to the pipes to rinse them, which can easily leave soy milk and residue residue, resulting in poor cleaning effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a soybean milk grinding device.

[0005] The soybean milk grinding equipment provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A soybean milk grinding device includes a base plate, a first grinder, and a second grinder. A pipe is provided between the first grinder and the second grinder, and an auger is installed inside the pipe. The base plate is provided with an installation assembly for assembling and disassembling the pipe. The installation assembly includes a first flange fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate on one side of the second grinder. One end of the pipe is fixedly connected to a second flange connected to the first flange. The base plate is provided with a drive assembly for driving the auger to rotate. The pipe is provided with a connecting assembly for connecting the first grinder and the second grinder.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, one end of the pipe is placed on the first flange, and the first flange and the second flange are connected to fix the pipe. Then, the soybean milk and soybean residue ground by the second grinder are sent into the pipe through the connecting assembly. The drive assembly drives the auger to rotate, causing the soybean milk and soybean residue to move in the pipe. The soybean milk and soybean residue are then sent into the first grinder through the connecting assembly for fine grinding of the soybean milk. When it is necessary to clean the pipe and auger, the pipe can be removed by disconnecting the first flange and the second flange, and the auger and pipe can be cleaned. This avoids the problem of adding water into the pipe to flush the pipe and auger, which can easily leave soybean milk and soybean residue residue, resulting in poor cleaning effect.

[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a support plate fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the base plate. A motor is installed on one side wall of the support plate above the first grinding machine. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The end of the auger away from the second flange passes through the pipe and has an installation slot adapted to the connecting rod. A fixing bolt is provided on one side of the connecting rod. The screw end of the fixing bolt passes through the auger and the connecting rod and is threaded with a nut.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the auger is placed in the pipe, with one end of the auger passing through the pipe, and the connecting rod is inserted into the installation slot. Then, the fixing bolt is passed through the connecting rod and the auger, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the auger with a nut. The motor drives the auger to rotate in the pipe, conveying the material entering the pipe. At the same time, it is convenient to disconnect the auger from the motor and remove the auger from the pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a feed inlet formed on one side wall of the pipe, the discharge pipe of the second grinder is inserted into the feed inlet, and a discharge pipe for discharging material in the pipe into the first grinder is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pipe away from the feed inlet.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the pipeline, the discharge pipe of the second grinder is inserted into the inlet, and the discharge pipe is positioned above the first grinder. This allows the material ground by the second grinder to enter the pipeline, and then the material in the pipeline is discharged from the discharge pipe through the auger, sending the material to the first grinder for secondary grinding, thereby improving the grinding accuracy of the material.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of support columns for supporting the pipe are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate, and limit blocks are fixedly connected to one side of the pipe sidewall located on the support column.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the support column can support the pipeline and improve its stability. At the same time, the limiting block can prevent the pipeline from sliding on the support column when the pipeline is placed on it, by having the limiting block stick to one side of the support column.

[0014] Preferably, two fixing blocks are fixedly connected to one end of the pipe near the motor, and two arc-shaped locking blocks are provided between the fixing blocks. Threaded rods are rotatably connected to the opposite sidewalls of the two arc-shaped locking blocks. The end of the threaded rod away from the arc-shaped locking block passes through the fixing block and forms a threaded connection. An annular groove adapted to the arc-shaped locking block is opened on the sidewall of the end of the auger that passes through the pipe.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, after the auger is placed into the pipeline, the two arc-shaped locking blocks are brought closer together by rotating the threaded rod and locked into the annular groove, which can connect the auger to the pipeline and prevent the auger from moving inside the pipeline during pipeline installation.

[0016] Preferably, a positioning rod is fixedly connected to one side wall of the arc-shaped locking block on the side of the threaded rod, and the end of the positioning rod away from the arc-shaped locking block passes through the fixing block and forms a sliding arrangement.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning rod can prevent the arc-shaped locking block from rotating with the threaded rod when the threaded rod is rotated, thus preventing the arc-shaped locking block from being difficult to lock into the annular groove.

[0018] Preferably, the annular groove sidewall is rotatably connected to a plurality of annular arrays of balls, which are in contact with the arc-shaped locking block.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the friction between the arc-shaped locking block and the annular groove can be reduced by the ball bearings, preventing severe wear caused by prolonged friction between the arc-shaped locking block and the annular groove when the auger is rotating.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. This application utilizes the cooperative arrangement of structures such as a first flange, a second flange, and a pipe. In use, one end of the pipe is placed on the first flange, connecting the first and second flanges to fix the pipe. Then, the soybean milk and soybean residue ground by the second grinder are fed into the pipe through the connecting assembly. The drive assembly drives the auger to rotate, causing the soybean milk and soybean residue to move within the pipe. The connecting assembly then feeds the soybean milk and soybean residue into the first grinder for fine grinding. When cleaning the pipe and auger is required, the pipe can be removed by disconnecting the first and second flanges, allowing for cleaning of the auger and pipe. This method avoids the problem of adding water to the pipe and auger for rinsing, which can easily leave soybean milk and soybean residue residue, resulting in a lower cleaning effect.

[0022] 2. After the auger is placed into the pipe, rotate the threaded rod to bring the two arc-shaped locking blocks closer together and lock them into the annular groove. This connects the auger to the pipe and prevents the auger from moving inside the pipe during installation. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a soybean milk grinding device.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2and Figure 3 A soybean milk grinding equipment includes a base plate 1, a first grinding machine 2 and a second grinding machine 3. A pipe 21 is provided between the first grinding machine 2 and the second grinding machine 3. One end of the pipe 21 is open and the other end is sealed. An auger 4 is provided inside the pipe 21. An installation assembly for assembling and disassembling the pipe 21 is provided on the base plate 1. The installation assembly includes a first flange 23 and a second flange 5.

[0031] The first flange 23 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1 and located on one side of the second grinding machine 3. The second flange 5 is fixedly connected to the open end of the pipe 21 and connected to the first flange 23. The first flange 23 is a solid flange. After the first flange 23 is connected to the second flange 5, the open end of the pipe 21 is sealed. The base plate 1 is provided with a drive assembly for driving the auger 4 to rotate. The pipe 21 is provided with a connecting assembly for connecting the first grinding machine 2 and the second grinding machine 3.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The drive assembly includes a support plate 6 fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the base plate 1. A motor 7 is installed on one side wall of the support plate 6 above the first grinding machine 2. A connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 7. The end of the auger 4 away from the second flange 5 passes through the pipe 21 and has an installation slot 9 adapted to the connecting rod 8. A fixing bolt 10 is provided on one side of the connecting rod 8. The screw end of the fixing bolt 10 passes through the auger 4 and the connecting rod 8 and is threadedly connected to a nut 11. By placing the auger 4 into the pipe 21, one end of the auger 4 passes through the pipe 21, and the connecting rod 8 is inserted into the installation slot 9, and then by passing the fixing bolt 10 through the connecting rod 8 and the auger 4, the connecting rod 8 and the auger 4 are fixedly connected by the nut 11, so that the motor 7 drives the auger 4 to rotate in the pipe 21 to transport the material entering the pipe 21. At the same time, it is convenient to disconnect the auger 4 from the motor 7 and remove the auger 4 from the pipe 21.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The connecting assembly includes an inlet 12 opened on one side wall of the pipe 21. The discharge pipe of the second grinder 3 is inserted into the inlet 12. The side wall of the pipe 21 away from the inlet 12 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 13 for discharging the material in the pipe 21 into the first grinder 2. When the pipe 21 is installed, the discharge pipe of the second grinder 3 is inserted into the inlet 12, and then the discharge pipe 13 is positioned above the first grinder 2. This allows the material ground by the second grinder 3 to enter the pipe 21. Then, the material in the pipe 21 is discharged from the discharge pipe 13 through the auger 4 and sent to the first grinder 2 for secondary grinding, thereby improving the grinding accuracy of the material.

[0034] Reference Figure 1Multiple support columns 14 for supporting pipe 21 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. Limiting blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the side wall of pipe 21 on one side of the support column 14. The support columns 14 can support pipe 21 and improve the stability of pipe 21. At the same time, when pipe 21 is placed on support column 14, the limiting blocks 15 are attached to one side of support column 14 to prevent pipe 21 from sliding on support column 14.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 Two fixing blocks 16 are fixedly connected to one end of the pipe 21 near the motor 7. Two arc-shaped locking blocks 17 are provided between the fixing blocks 16. Threaded rods 18 are rotatably connected to the opposite sidewalls of the two arc-shaped locking blocks 17. The ends of the threaded rods 18 away from the arc-shaped locking blocks 17 pass through the fixing blocks 16 and form a threaded connection. An annular groove 19 adapted to the arc-shaped locking blocks 17 is opened on the sidewall of the end of the auger 4 that passes through the pipe 21. After the auger 4 is placed into the pipe 21, the two arc-shaped locking blocks 17 are brought closer together by rotating the threaded rods 18, and the arc-shaped locking blocks 17 are locked into the annular groove 19. This allows the auger 4 to be connected to the pipe 21, preventing the auger 4 from moving inside the pipe 21 during installation.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 A positioning rod 20 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the arc-shaped locking block 17 on the side of the threaded rod 18. The end of the positioning rod 20 away from the arc-shaped locking block 17 passes through the fixing block 16 and forms a sliding setting. The positioning rod 20 can prevent the arc-shaped locking block 17 from rotating with the threaded rod 18 when the threaded rod 18 is rotated, which would make it difficult for the arc-shaped locking block 17 to be locked into the annular groove 19.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 The annular groove 19 has multiple annular arrays of ball bearings 22 rotatably connected to its side wall. The ball bearings 22 fit into the arc-shaped locking block 17. The ball bearings 22 can reduce the friction between the arc-shaped locking block 17 and the annular groove 19, preventing the arc-shaped locking block 17 from rubbing against the annular groove 19 for a long time during the rotation of the auger 4, which would cause severe wear.

[0038] The implementation principle of the soybean milk grinding equipment in this application embodiment is as follows: In use, firstly, the auger 4 is placed into the pipe 21, with one end of the auger 4 penetrating the closed end of the pipe 21. Then, by rotating the threaded rod 18, the two arc-shaped locking blocks 17 are brought closer together and locked into the annular groove 19, making the auger 4 rotatably connected to the pipe 21 to prevent the auger 4 from moving within the pipe 21. Then, by placing the open end of the pipe 21 on the first flange 23, the discharge pipe of the second grinder 3 is inserted into the inlet 12, with the discharge pipe 13 positioned above the first grinder 2. Then, by connecting the first flange 23 and the second flange 5, the pipe 21 is fixed. Simultaneously, the connecting rod 8 is inserted into the mounting slot 9, and the fixing bolt 10 passes through the connecting rod 8 and the auger 4. The connecting rod 8 is then fixed to the auger 4 using the nut 11. The connection allows the motor 7 to drive the auger 4 to rotate inside the pipe 21, allowing the material ground by the second grinder 3 to enter the pipe 21 through the feed inlet 12. Then, the auger 4 discharges the material from the pipe 21 through the discharge pipe 13, sending the material to the first grinder 2 for secondary grinding to improve the grinding accuracy. When it is necessary to clean the pipe 21 and the auger 4, the connection between the first flange 23 and the second flange 5 is disconnected, then the nut 11 is removed, the fixing bolt 10 is removed, and the pipe 21 is disassembled. After that, the threaded rod 18 is rotated to move the arc-shaped clamp 17 out of the annular groove 19, separating the pipe 21 and the auger 4, so that the auger 4 and the pipe 21 can be cleaned. This avoids the problem of the pipe 21 being difficult to disassemble. Adding clean water to the pipe 21 and rinsing the pipe 21 and the auger 4 can easily leave soybean milk and soybean residue, resulting in a low cleaning effect.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
