[0032] When the card slots 24 on the connecting plate 22 correspond to the engaging blocks 28, the two springs 30 drive the activity plate 27 to automatically move upward, so that the engaging blocks 28 are engaged with the same-side card slots 24, thereby fixing the position of the connecting plate 22. When it is necessary to move the connecting plate 22, the pull ring 32 can be pulled downward, so that the fixing plate 31 drives the connecting columns 29, the activity plate 27 and the engaging blocks 28 to move downward synchronously, so that the engaging blocks 28 are disengaged from the card slots 24, thereby facilitating the movement of the connecting plate 22.
[0033] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5When the left end of the sliding plate 20 is in contact with the left end of the sliding groove 19, the through holes 18 on the sliding plate 20 are offset from the through holes 18 on the forming frame 16. When the right end of the sliding plate 20 is in contact with the right end of the sliding groove 19, the through holes 18 on the sliding plate 20 communicate with the through holes 18 on the forming frame 16.
[0034] When the through holes 18 on the sliding plate 20 are offset from the through holes 18 on the forming frame 16 and the positions of the bottom plate 1 and the top plate 3 are reversed, the water that has not flowed out inside the lower mold 15 will not flow out through the through holes 18 on the forming frame 16 either, so that the water inside the lower mold 15 will not drip onto the formed tofu.
[0035] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in
[0036] At the left and right ends of the top of the bottom plate 1 and the left and right ends of the top of the top plate 3, storage grooves 5 are provided. At the far ends of the two upper and two lower storage grooves 5 away from each other, a first handle 6 is rotatably connected. Through grooves 7 are provided inside the two upper and two lower storage grooves 5 on the inner side of the first handle 6.
[0037] By inserting a finger into the through groove 7, the first handle 6 can be rotated out of the storage groove 5, facilitating the upward movement of the top plate 3. When the positions of the bottom plate 1 and the top plate 3 are reversed, it is convenient for the bottom plate 1 to move upward, so as to take out the formed small tofu.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
