In the conventional conventional soymilk production method, each process for producing soymilk is performed by separate and independent apparatuses. That is, crushed soybeans with water with a grinder such as a millstone, to make soybeans, filter the soybeans and break them with a cauldron or directly heated with steam to remove the fishy smell of soybeans and at the same time, so that the protein is dissolved in a lot of soybeans, Soy milk and sesame are separated by heating the heated soybeans into the bag and pressurizing to extract the soy milk.

Since the conventional soymilk production method has a mechanism for each process and has to operate them manually, it is not only time-consuming to prepare soymilk, but also requires a person's own manpower.

Recently, in order to solve the problems according to the conventional method for producing soy milk as described above, a household soy milk / tofu maker that can prepare and eat soy milk or tofu simply and conveniently at home without going through a process called soybean. It is developed and widely used.

A device for making and eating soy milk or tofu at home conveniently has been disclosed under the name 'home tofu manufacturing device' in Korean Patent Registration No. 228659, and 'Home tofu maker' in Korean Utility Model Publication No. 1998-0031967. It has been disclosed under the name.

In addition, since the driving motor, the heating pipe, the grinding blade, and the grinding barrel are all directly mounted to the lid, the weight of the lid is heavy, and it takes a lot of effort to install the lid in the head holder or separate the lid from the head holder. Therefore, the weak women or the elderly are difficult to prepare soy milk to eat.

On the other hand, since the drive motor is embedded in the cover portion that shields the head housing, since water vapor generated during the heating of the juice is blocked only by the cover portion, there is a risk that the drive motor may be corroded as the steam is in direct contact with the drive motor. Pollutants generated during the runoff may be mixed into the soybean juice contained in the tofu container through the cover part.

The present invention has been devised to solve the conventional problems as described above, so that the process of extracting soybean juice by pulverizing soybean and heating the extracted soybean juice is made automatically and continuously made, It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic soymilk manufacturing device that can be easily produced and eaten soy milk at home.

In addition, by embedding the drive motor on the pressing portion that is rotatably installed on the upper portion of the main body to prevent the separation of the container cover and the flow of the heating vessel, steam generated during the heating of the bean juice is doubled by the container cover and the pressing portion As well as being able to prevent corrosion of the driving motor by the water vapor as it is blocked, the weight of the container cover is lighter, there is also an object to provide an automatic soymilk manufacturing apparatus that can be easily mounted or detached container cover in the heating vessel.

In addition, soybean juice is not heated directly by the heating means, but by indirect heating by the heating container, automatic soymilk manufacturing apparatus that can prevent the phenomenon such as contaminated soybean juice by heavy metal of the heating means when the heating means is in direct contact with the bean juice. There is also a purpose to provide.
