A chute 28 is provided inside the front side of the collection box 12. The sliding rod 25 and the limiting plate 24 are both slidably connected inside the chute 28, which can make the sliding rod 25 and the limiting plate 24 slide more easily. A counterweight 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressing cover 3. The counterweight 2 can continuously and stably increase the pressure of the pressing cover 3 on the tofu.

[0035] Working principle: When dewatering and pressing tofu is required, first put the tofu into the interior of the dewatering barrel 7, and then start the hydraulic rod 1 to make the pressing cover 3 slide downward inside the dewatering barrel 7. The tofu will be squeezed to separate the bean dregs water. The bean dregs water flows to the bottom of the dewatering barrel 7 through multiple evenly distributed holes inside the dewatering barrel 7, and then flows into the interior of the collection box 12 through the water outlet pipe 11 inside the dewatering barrel 7. The filter plate 23 inside the collection box 12 filters the bean dregs water, which can remove the particulate matter in the bean dregs water. The filtered bean dregs water flows into the interior of the collection box 12. Finally, open the water stop valve 13, and the bean dregs water flows out of the collection box 12 through the drain pipe 14. The filtered bean dregs water can also be used as raw materials in food processing to achieve resource recycling. When the dewatering and pressing of tofu is completed, then start the electric push rod 22. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 22 moves upward to drive the bottom plate 15 to slide upward inside the dewatering barrel 7, pushing the bean dregs upward. While the bottom plate 15 slides upward, the two rotating shafts 18 move upward, simultaneously driving the two rotating rods 17 to rotate. One end of the two rotating rods 17 rotates inside the two rotating shafts 2, so that the two sliders 20 slide toward each other inside the grooves 21, making the bottom plate 15 slide more stably up and down inside the dewatering barrel 7, and the bean dregs are pushed out of the interior of the dewatering barrel 7 and are easier to take out. When the filter plate 23 needs to be cleaned, pull the pull ring 27 to drive the sliding rod 25 to slide out of the interior of the filter plate 23. While the sliding rod 25 slides out, driving the limit plate 24 to slide will compress the spring 26. Then slide the filter plate 23 out for cleaning. After cleaning, slide the filter plate 23 back into the interior of the collection box 12, and then release the pull ring 27. The spring 26 returns to its original state to make the sliding rod 25 slide back into the interior of the filter plate 23, which can prevent the filter plate 23 from sliding inside the collection box 12.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
