Abstract

The soymilk mill is an important food machine, but its volume is too large to be suitable for house using. This study first analyzes some problems in the soymilk mill miniaturization. For these problems, the thinking tools, evolutionary tools and contradiction solving tool of TRIZ theory are used to resolve the conflict in the integration of grinding and boiling and in the keep grinding effect, to tackle the optimization problem in the grinding stria structure and mill plate speed, then the Dwarfs method and substance-field analysis model is used in solving the interference and the conditions water supply problems which are encountered in the design of the global structure and a micro soymilk mill is designed. Finally, the mechanical analysis model about soy granules, soymilk particles in the grinding zone and the computational model of motor starting torque are obtained; they provide the reference data for application of soymilk mill.
