[0002] Tofu is one of the main sources of plant protein for people. Its main production process is to grind soybeans, remove the residue and then add a coagulant to form tofu cubes. It is loved by people because it is rich in protein, unsaturated fatty acids and various trace elements.

[0003] Tofu can be processed into a variety of dishes, such as dried tofu, fermented bean curd, stuffed tofu, etc. Among them, the method of stuffed tofu is to poke a hole in the middle of the tofu with chopsticks or a knife, then fill the hole with stuffing, and finally fry the tofu. However, in the above process, there are still the following problems to be solved:

[0004] The process of poking holes in tofu is usually done manually, which is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0005] Since tofu is relatively soft, if you don’t control the strength properly when poking holes, the tofu may be pierced or broken and unable to be stuffed with fillings, resulting in food waste;

[0006] The holes poked in the tofu are not exactly the same size, which results in different amounts of filling being put in. The time required to fry the tofu cubes is also inconsistent during cooking, making the cooking process difficult to control. Utility Model Content

[0022] In order to make the content of the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model is further described below based on specific embodiments in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inner", "outer" and the like used herein to indicate directions or positional relationships are based on directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0024] Unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model provides a mold for stuffed tofu, including a mold base 1, a plurality of partitions 2 are staggeredly arranged inside the mold base 1, and the partitions 2 divide the inside of the mold base 1 into a plurality of adjacent mold chambers 3, the mold chambers 3 all have open ends 31, and a side of the mold chamber 3 away from the open end 31 is provided with a convex column 32, so that holes are formed inside the tofu formed in the mold chamber 3; a mold cover 4 covers the mold base 1.

[0026] It can be understood that the space inside the mold base 1 is divided into multiple grid-like grids by criss-cross partitions 2, and each grid is a mold chamber 3. After the beans are ground and filtered to obtain soy milk, the soy milk is poured into the mold chamber 3 and a coagulant such as gluconolactone is added, and the soy milk is waited for tofu to solidify. Multiple mold chambers 3 can form multiple blocks of tofu at one time without the need to cut the tofu, which can save manpower and time.

[0027] A convex column 32 is provided at the bottom of the mold chamber 3. When the tofu is formed in the mold chamber 3, a hole will be formed in the tofu at the position of the convex column 32. The hole can be used to fill stuffing to make stuffed tofu, and there is no need to manually poke holes on the surface of the tofu, which reduces the processing steps, saves time and manpower, and the holes are directly formed in the tofu forming process and are not poked out manually, so the tofu will not be damaged, and the loss of food ingredients is avoided. At the same time, since the convex columns 32 in the mold chamber 3 are of the same size and shape, the holes formed on the tofu are also of the same size, so the amount of stuffing filled in the hole is basically the same, and the cooking time is also almost the same, making the cooking process easier to control.

[0028] like Figures 2 to 3As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the diameter of the protrusion 32 gradually decreases along the direction from one end of the protrusion 32 connected to the mold chamber 3 to the free end of the protrusion 32 .

[0029] It can be understood that the boss 32 is a conical structure that gradually becomes thinner from one end to the other end. In the mold chamber 3, the thicker end of the boss 32 is connected to the bottom of the mold chamber 3. Through the above arrangement, on the one hand, the holes formed on the tofu can also be conical, and the closer to the surface of the tofu, the larger the diameter of the hole, which can facilitate the filling of the filling. On the other hand, when the mold is inverted, the tofu can be more easily separated from the boss 32, so that the tofu can be poured out of the mold chamber 3.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, scale lines 33 are provided on the side wall of the mold chamber 3 .

[0031] It can be understood that setting the scale line 33 has the following advantages: it is easy to control the size of tofu. The scale line 33 can help the worker to accurately control the size of the tofu. By marking the scale line 33 on the mold chamber 3, the worker can easily ensure that the size of each piece of tofu is consistent, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality; improving consistency. The scale line 33 can ensure that the shape and size of each piece of tofu are basically the same, thereby enhancing the consistency of the tofu; simplifying operation. Setting the scale line 33 can simplify production operations. The worker only needs to operate according to the scale line 33, thereby reducing the possibility of human error and improving production efficiency.

[0032] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the mold for stuffed tofu further includes a mold cover 4 , and the mold cover 4 covers the mold base 1 .

[0033] It can be understood that the mold cover 4 is covered on the mold base 1. On the one hand, it can protect the tofu in the mold base 1 from being contaminated by impurities such as dust from the outside. On the other hand, since the tofu is tightly attached to the inner wall of the mold chamber 3 after being formed in the mold chamber 3, and the tofu itself is relatively soft and fragile, it is difficult to take it out of the mold chamber 3 with fingers or other tools. At this time, the mold cover 4 can be covered on the mold base 1, and then the entire mold can be inverted with the mold cover 4 at the bottom. At this time, the mold base 1 and the mold cover 4 are separated, and the tofu in the mold chamber 3 is poured out and left on the mold cover 4, which is convenient for the worker to take the tofu away.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a limiting groove 5 is provided on the periphery of the side wall of the mold base 1 , and a limiting strip 6 is provided on the periphery of the mold cover 4 corresponding to the limiting groove 5 , and the limiting strip 6 is inserted into the limiting groove 5 .

[0035] It can be understood that the mold base 1 and the mold cover 4 are connected by plugging the limit strips 6 into the limit grooves 5, which has the following advantages: a firm connection, the limit strips 6 plugged into the limit grooves 5 can provide precise positioning, ensuring that the mold cover 4 is correctly aligned with the mold and firmly connected, and can prevent the mold cover 4 and the mold base 1 from being offset or unstable, thereby improving the accuracy and quality of assembly; it is simple and fast, using the limit strips 6 plugged into the limit grooves 5 can simplify the assembly process, save time and labor costs, and is simpler and more convenient to operate than other complex connection methods; reversibility, this connection method has good reversibility and is easy to disassemble. Since the entire mold needs to be inverted and the mold base 1 and the mold cover 4 need to be separated when pouring the tofu out of the mold chamber 3, at this time, it is only necessary to simply pull the mold base 1 from the mold cover 4 to separate the limit grooves 5 and the limit strips 6, without the need for additional tools or equipment.

[0036] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a convex strip 7 is provided on the periphery of the bottom of the mold base 1 .

[0037] It can be understood that, on the one hand, providing the convex strip 7 can increase the contact area between the bottom of the mold base 1 and the ground or the workbench, making the mold base 1 more stable and increasing the service life of the mold base 1; on the other hand, since the entire mold needs to be inverted and the mold base 1 and the mold cover 4 need to be separated when pouring the tofu out of the mold chamber 3, the convex strip 7 can become a gripping portion at this time, making it convenient for the user to grip the mold base 1 and lift it.

[0038] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, two vertical plates 8 are provided on a side of the mold cover 4 facing away from the limiting strip 6 , and the two vertical plates 8 are respectively located at the edges of two opposite sides of the mold cover 4 .

[0039] It can be understood that the two vertical plates 8 are located at two opposite edges of the mold cover 4, which firstly makes it easy for the user to grasp the mold cover 4, making it convenient to open / close the mold cover 4, and can also effectively support the mold cover 4 when the mold cover 4 is inverted, so that the mold cover 4 can be firmly placed on the ground or on a workbench, thereby increasing the service life of the mold cover 4. Moreover, when the mold cover 4 is inverted, the mold cover 4 can be conveniently picked up by grasping the two edges of the mold cover 4 without the vertical plates 8.

[0040] In summary, the beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: this embodiment arranges protruding columns 32 in a plurality of mold chambers 3 inside the mold, so that when soy milk and the coagulant react in the mold chamber 3, holes can be formed inside the tofu formed in the mold chamber 3, and the tofu can be cooked by directly filling the holes with stuffing without manually poking holes in the tofu, thereby reducing labor consumption and avoiding the waste of food materials caused by manual poking errors, and the generated holes are all consistent in size and shape, so that the amount of stuffing filled in is almost the same, which facilitates the control of the cooking process.

[0041] The embodiments described above are only preferred implementation modes of the present utility model and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Any non-substantial changes and modifications made by technicians in this field on the basis of the utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
