Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a protein processing machine, particularly a soybean protein processing machine.

In conventional soybean protein processing machines of this type, blades rotate within a container containing soybean protein, but the container itself is fixed to the machine frame and does not rotate. In such a soybean protein kneading and processing machine, unkneaded soybean protein remains in a small gap between the outer orbit of the rotary blade and the inner periphery of the container, and the stirring action is also insufficient. In addition, in the case of low speed rotation, mixing was insufficient and coarse particles remained in the mixed product, resulting in lumpiness.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points.

The invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiment.

The housing 1 includes a plurality of casters 2 on the lower surface. A motor 3 is attached to the inner wall of the housing 1, and a sprocket 4 and a pinion 5 are fixed to the motor shaft 3a. On the other hand, a vertical shaft 6 is located at the center of the housing 1, and the vertical shaft 6 is supported by a bearing bracket 7 provided with a bearing metal, and the bearing bracket 7 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1. A similar bearing bracket 7 is also located in the upper region of the vertical shaft 6, and likewise the housing 1.
is fixed to the inside wall. A chain 9 is wound around a sprocket 8 fixed to the vertical shaft 6 and a sprocket 4 on the motor shaft 3a. Tighteners are used when necessary.

A gear 10 fixed to the vertical shaft 6 is a motor shaft 3a.
It meshes directly with pinion 5 above. The gear 10 is connected to a rotary plate 11 by bolts (not shown), and the rotary plate 11 is connected to a bearing metal 1 installed inside.
2 on a vertical shaft 6. The bearing metals 12 are provided at two locations at a constant interval. A container 13 is fixed on the rotating plate 11. The upper part of the container 13 is open for supplying soybean protein. Rotating plate 11 and vertical shaft 6
A vertical shaft 6 passes through the space between the two through a sealing member, and the vertical shaft 6 further passes through the lid 1a of the housing 1 and the bottom 13a of the container 13 and enters inside the container 13. A rotary blade 14 is fitted on the tip of the boss 14a so as not to be relatively rotatable.

In the soybean protein processing machine of the present invention, the rotation of the motor shaft 3a of the motor 3 connects the sprocket 4, the chain 9, and the sprocket 8 on the vertical shaft 6 to the vertical shaft 6.
Rotates clockwise at high speed (approximately 1000r.) when viewed from above.
pm) will be done. As a result, the rotating blade 14 is rotated clockwise. On the other hand, from pinion 5 to gear 10
The rotation direction is opposite to the direction of rotation of the vertical shaft 6, for example, counterclockwise when viewed from above the vertical shaft 6. As a result, the rotating plate 11 fixed to the gear 10, and therefore the container 13, are rotated counterclockwise at high speed (approximately 1000 rpm).

According to the present invention, the soybean protein put into the container 13 is rotated at high speed in one direction by the rotary blade 14, thereby kneading the soybean protein, and on the other hand, the soybean protein put into the container 13 is rotated by the rotary blade 14 by centrifugal force. The part of the soybean protein thrown out against the inner wall collides with the inner wall of the container and falls along the inner wall, but more often than not it is bounced back by the high speed rotation of the inner wall in the opposite direction to the rotating blade 14 and is sent to the rotating blade. 14 and can be kneaded repeatedly.

According to the present invention, defective kneading of soybean protein is less likely to occur, and in addition, the stirring and kneading efficiency of soybean protein is increased, and the quality of soybean protein paste products can be improved.
