Background

Commercial soymilk machines currently on the market generally comprise a pulping system, a soymilk and residue separation system and a soymilk boiling system. During operation, the materials such as bean materials are crushed in liquid by a pulping system to form slurry, bean dregs are separated by a pulp-dreg separation system comprising a dreg removing mechanism such as a filter screen, and finally the slurry after the bean dregs are filtered is boiled for drinking. However, the existing commercial soymilk machines have the following problems: firstly, the bean dregs are directly discarded after being separated, and the bean dregs are edible dietary fibers and are directly discarded, so that the nutrition components in the bean materials are not fully utilized, and waste is caused; in addition, according to the different bean dreg separation technologies, the separation degree of the soybean milk and the bean dreg is different, and under the normal condition, the soybean milk and the bean dreg cannot be completely separated, so that a part of the soybean milk is discarded together with the bean dreg, and waste is caused. Secondly, the filter screen is easy to block and damage in the actual use process, and needs to be replaced periodically, so that the maintenance cost is increased, and the filter screen is blocked to cause the operation failure of the machine. Thirdly, the bean dregs separated by the filter screen can only be filtered out, and the bean dregs smaller than the meshes can still flow into the soybean milk, if the selected meshes are not proper, the soybean milk is still provided with a dreg feeling when drunk, and the smooth taste cannot be achieved.

The solid content of the prepared soybean milk is generally 3.0% -5.5% by researching commercial soybean milk machine on the market, the nutritive value is low, the taste is not mellow and thick enough, and the application requirement in high-grade catering cannot be met.

Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Features of the embodiments described below may be combined with each other without conflict.

Referring to fig. 1 to 9, the present application provides a soy milk machine for making soy milk. The soybean milk, also called unadjusted soybean milk, refers to a slurry product with soybean solids content reaching a certain value, such as more than 8%, and is a high-quality soybean milk. The soybean milk machine provided by the application can be used for whole beans, filter residues are not needed, and the soybean milk is prepared by preparing common soybean milk and then further preparing the soybean milk. The present application provides a soybean milk machine, particularly a large-capacity commercial soybean milk machine or an industrial soybean milk machine, wherein the large-capacity commercial soybean milk machine is a machine which is used in a commercial storefront and can be used for manufacturing soybean milk on site in the commercial storefront, and the industrial soybean milk machine is large-scale equipment which is arranged in a production factory and is used for manufacturing soybean milk in the factory and is circulated and sold in the market. In one embodiment of the application, the large-capacity commercial or industrial soybean milk machine comprises a frame 9, a feeding system 1, a coarse grinding system 2, a defoaming system 3, a fine grinding system 4, a pulp boiling system 5 and an electric control system, wherein the feeding system 1, the coarse grinding system 2, the defoaming system 3, the fine grinding system 4, the pulp boiling system 5 and the electric control system are arranged on the frame 9. The following describes the respective systems in a specific embodiment.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3-5, the feeding system 1 is connected to the coarse pulverizing system 2 for feeding bean material and water into the coarse pulverizing system 2. The feeding system 1 comprises a hopper 11 for containing bean materials, a discharging mechanism for discharging the bean materials in the hopper 11 into the coarse crushing system 2, and a water feeding mechanism for adding water into the coarse crushing system 2. The discharging mechanism comprises a charging barrel 14 connected between a discharge hole of the hopper 11 and the coarse crushing system 2, an impeller 13 arranged in the charging barrel 14 and a discharging motor 12 for driving the impeller 13 to rotate so as to discharge bean materials. The hopper 11 is a conical funnel shape, the discharge port is connected with a charging barrel 14 of the discharging mechanism by a clamp, and the discharging motor 12 drives an impeller 13 arranged in the charging barrel 14 to rotate so as to pull down bean materials. The blanking motor 12 does not drive the impeller 13 to rotate, so that blanking is not performed, and control of blanking and stopping blanking is facilitated. The water feeding mechanism includes a water tank 53 and a water feeding pump 15 that pumps water from the water tank 53 and feeds the water into the coarse pulverizing system 2. While the bean material falls into the coarse pulverizing system 2, the water feeding pump 15 draws water amount matching the amount of the discharged material from the water tank 53 into the cartridge 14, and enters the coarse pulverizing system 2 together with the bean material. Wherein, the blanking amount of the blanking mechanism to the coarse crushing system 2 each time and the water feeding amount of the water feeding mechanism to the coarse crushing system 2 each time are in a preset fixed proportion. By setting the bean blanking amount and the water inflow amount each time to be a fixed proportion, the working load of the coarse crushing system 2 can be kept constant, and the working time is kept constant; and because the fluidity of water is better than that of beans, the residual water is removed firstly, so that the pipelines and containers in the later stage of pulping are easily blocked by bean dregs. In a specific embodiment, the matching of the discharging amount and the water feeding amount can be achieved by controlling the rotation speed of the discharging motor 12 to match with the flow of the water feeding pump 15, specifically, a flowmeter can be arranged on the water feeding pump 15, or the water feeding pump 15 adopts a self-sucking pump, and the amount of the bean material is synchronously matched through time or flow, so that a constant bean water ratio is achieved, and the bean material enters the coarse crushing system 2.

With continued reference to fig. 1 and 3-5, the coarse pulverizing system 2 is adapted to pulverize the soy material to a first particle size range to produce a first slurry. The coarse pulverizing system includes a cup 22, a screening drum 23, a pulverizing blade 24, and a second power source for driving the pulverizing blade 24 to rotate. In this embodiment, the second power source is the coarse pulverizing motor 21. The inside of the cup 22 defines a coarse pulverizing chamber in which the pulverizing blade 24 is disposed, and is rotated by the rotation power from the coarse pulverizing motor 21 to cut the beans immersed in water to a first grain size range. The cup 22 comprises a cup holder 221 and a cup cover 222, wherein the cup holder 221 is fixed at the bottom end of the cup 22, and the cup cover 222 is fixed at the top end of the cup 22. The coarse grinding motor 21 is arranged below the cup holder 221 and fixed on a mounting frame 211 of the motor, and an output shaft of the coarse grinding motor 21 is connected with a grinding blade 24 positioned in the cup 22. The screening cylinder 23 is located in the cup 22 and is disposed around the outer periphery of the pulverizing blade 24, and the screening cylinder 23 has a plurality of mesh holes 231 through which the beans of the first particle size range pass. The bean materials crushed to the first particle size range can pass through the sieve holes 231 on the sieving cylinder 23 and be discharged outside the sieving cylinder 23; the soybean material which has not been pulverized into the first particle size range remains in the sieve drum 23 and is cut and pulverized by the pulverizing blade 24. In an embodiment, the first particle size range is not more than 1000 μm, preferably the first particle size range is 400-800 μm. A sealing ring 232 is further arranged between the upper end surface of the screening cylinder 23 and the cup cover 222, and the sealing ring 232 is pressed between the cup cover 222 and the upper end surface of the screening cylinder 23 to realize sealing. Referring to fig. 6, the screen holes 231 are bell mouth-shaped, and the screen holes 231 are gradually increased in diameter from the inside to the outside of the screen cylinder 23; the arrangement is such that the beans which satisfy the first particle size range and can be discharged from the inside to the outside of the sieve holes 231 are quickly separated from the sieve holes 231, and the beans are prevented from being blocked in the sieve holes 231. The wet bean particles are typically 9-16mm, and for compatibility with smaller particle food materials, such as sesame, typically around 2mm, the diameter of the mesh openings 231 is preferably sized to be no greater than 2mm to ensure that the food material does not flow out of the mesh openings 231 as much as possible prior to comminution. Meanwhile, when the diameter of the mesh 231 is smaller than 1.4mm, accumulation of tiny okara is easy to cause hole blocking after long-time work. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the diameter of the mesh 231 at the inner end of the screen cylinder 23 is set to 1.4 to 2.0mm, and the diameter of the mesh 231 at the outer end is set to 2.5 to 3.0mm. In order to make the slurry well disturbed and mixed during the process of crushing the bean material and stirring the slurry by the crushing blade 24, so as to increase the crushing efficiency, the inner side of the screening cylinder 23 is further provided with a plurality of turbulence ribs extending vertically along the wall surface of the inner side. In this embodiment, the number of the spoiler ribs is 4. In other embodiments, the coarse grinding system 2 may be arranged in the pulp cooking vessel 51 of the pulp cooking system 5; in other embodiments, the coarse pulverizing system 2 may employ an axial mill.

The first slurry formed after the coarse crushing system 2 is soybean milk, and can be boiled and drunk under the condition of filter residue or no filter residue. However, the first slurry has low solid content and low nutritive value, and if the first slurry is not drunk after filtering, the first slurry has obvious slag feel and bad taste, and if the first slurry is drunk after filtering, the bean dregs are wasted, so that the whole beans cannot be utilized. In the technical scheme of the application, the slurry crushed by the coarse crushing system 2 is further processed, and the following detailed description is provided.

The coarse pulverizing chamber of the coarse pulverizing system 2 is connected to the defoaming system 3 via a first valve 25. When the coarse grinding system 2 starts to work, a first valve 25 connected with the bottom of the cup body 22 is closed, the coarse grinding motor 21 is started to work to drive the grinding blade 24 to rotate so as to grind the beans immersed in the screening cylinder 23, after the beans are ground to the diameter smaller than that of the screen holes 231, the beans flow out of the screening cylinder 23 under the action of rotating centrifugal force, repeated grinding of the beans is realized through turbulent flow until the size of the beans in the slurry meets a first particle size range, and then the coarse grinding stage is ended; when one coarse pulverizing cycle is completed, the first valve 25 at the bottom of the cup 22 is opened, and the first slurry formed by pulverizing is discharged from the cup 22 to the defoaming system 3.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, the defoaming system 3 includes a defoaming container 31 and a slurry pump 32. The defoaming container 31 is used for eliminating bubbles in the slurry, so that the problem of overflow during the slurry boiling process can be solved. The coarse grinding system 2 outputs the first slurry to the defoaming container 31, and the coarse grinding system 2 is communicated with the slurry boiling system 5 and the fine grinding system 4 through the defoaming container 31. The defoaming container 31 has a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet, the liquid inlet is disposed above the liquid outlet, and the liquid outlet is disposed at the bottom of the defoaming container 31; the arrangement is such that the foam in the pulp floats above and is not pumped from the outlet by the pulp pump 32 into the pulp cooking system 5.

With continued reference to fig. 1 and 3, the pulp boiling system 5 is configured to heat the pulp, where the pulp boiling system 5 may heat the pulp during the grinding process of the bean material, such as the first pulp after coarse grinding or the pulp during the circulating fine grinding process; the pulp cooking system 5 may also heat the ground soy milk that may be discharged for consumption. The heating purposes of the slurry in different stages are different, for example, the slurry in the process of crushing the bean materials is heated to expand the crushed bean materials, so that the subsequent crushing is facilitated, and the crushed bean materials are finer in particles; the crushed slurry which can be discharged for drinking is heated and boiled to meet the drinking requirement. In this embodiment, the pulp boiling system 5 is configured to coarsely crush the coarse crushing system 2 and heat the first slurry after defoaming in the defoaming system 3, so that the soybean particles in the first particle size range in the first slurry are expanded by heating, so that the fine crushing system 4 performs fine crushing. The pulp boiling system 5 is communicated with the fine grinding system 4 through a second valve 512 so as to discharge the heated first pulp to the fine grinding system 4. The soybean milk boiling system 5 is further used for boiling the soybean milk crushed by the fine crushing system 4 and discharging the soybean milk through the third valve 513 for users to drink. In this embodiment, the first valve 25, the second valve 512 and the third valve 513 are all electric ball valves, and are controlled to be opened and closed by an electric control system.

Specifically, the boiling system 5 includes a boiling vessel 51 for boiling soybean milk, a steam heating device 52, and a water tank 53. The pulp boiling container 51 is provided with a temperature detector 511 for detecting the temperature of the pulp in the pulp boiling container 51; the pulp cooking container 51 is communicated with the fine grinding system 4 through the second valve 512, and is communicated with a drinking port through the third valve 513. The capacity of the defoaming container 31 is far smaller than that of the pulp boiling container 51, so that the first pulp after coarse crushing and defoaming is prepared in a small quantity and multiple times and is collected in the pulp boiling container 51 for boiling. In this embodiment, the capacity of the de-foaming vessel 31 is less than 1/5 of the capacity of the cooking vessel 51. The steam heating device 52 is used for delivering high-temperature steam into the soymilk boiling container 51, heating the soymilk by adopting the high-temperature steam to ensure uniform heating, and can drive the soymilk to roll over, thereby preventing the soymilk from generating scorching and sticky during heating. The steam heating device 52 is connected with the water tank 53, and a heating pipe 521 is arranged in the steam heating device 52 to heat the liquid to generate steam. The water tank 53 is provided with a water level detector 531, and a valve which can be automatically opened and closed according to the water level in the steam heating device 52 is arranged between the water tank 53 and the steam heating device 52, so that the water in the water tank 53 can be automatically supplied to the steam heating device 52. The automatic replenishment can be realized by the control of the electric control system according to the water level detected by the water level detector 531, and can also be realized by a floating ball type mechanical water inlet mechanism.

The fine grinding system 4 is configured to further grind the bean material particles in the heated coarsely ground first slurry to form a fine ground slurry, the fine grinding system 4 being connected to the pulp boiling system 5 by a circulation line to convey the fine ground slurry to the pulp boiling system by the circulation line. The coarse pulverizing system 2 communicates with the fine pulverizing system 4 via a fluid passage, and the fine pulverizing system 4 includes a power assembly 41 and a fine pulverizing assembly 42. The fine pulverizing assembly 42 includes a stationary knife 423 having an annular inner wall defining a fine pulverizing chamber 4230; and a movable blade 424 driven by rotational power from the first power source, the power assembly 41, the movable blade 424 being formed with a crushing portion 4241 at a distal end away from the rotational axis thereof. Wherein the movable knife 424 is received in the fine pulverizing chamber 4230 and defines a pulverizing gap 4240 between the pulverizing portion 4241 thereof and the annular inner wall adapted to pulverize the bean material. The movable knife 424 is configured to apply a frictional shear force to grind the beans in the grinding gap 4240 to the second particle size range. The movable blade 424 includes at least two rotating blades 4244 intersecting at a rotational axis thereof. The annular inner wall is uniformly provided with a plurality of tooth-shaped portions 4231 along the circumferential direction thereof, and a crushing gap 4240 is defined between the tooth-shaped portions 4231 and the crushing portion 4241. The crushing gap is smaller than 0.1mm; preferably, the crushing gap is 0.02-0.08mm; still preferably, the crushing gap is 0.06mm. This causes the beans to be crushed into smaller sized particles that exit the fine crushing chamber 4230. In one embodiment, the second particle size range of the finely ground soy material is 50-100 μm.

The power assembly 41 includes a fine grinding motor 411 and a transmission mechanism 412, in this embodiment, the fine grinding motor 411 is an ac asynchronous motor, and the transmission mechanism 412 is a belt transmission mechanism, and the ac asynchronous motor is in transmission connection with the movable knife 424 through the belt transmission mechanism.
