SPECIFIC EMBODIMENT

[0030] The following by specific embodiment explains the embodiment of the utility model, and the person skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the utility model from the content disclosed in the specification.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6It is to be understood that the structure, proportion, size and the like shown in the drawings of the present specification are only used to cooperate with the disclosed content, to be understood and read by those skilled in the art, and are not used to limit the implementation of the present application, so they do not have technical significance, any modification of the structure, change of the proportion relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effect and purpose of the present application, should still fall within the scope of the disclosed technology.

[0032] The utility model provides a technical scheme: a tofu forming die mainly is by rectangle outer frame 1, filter screen 2, baffle 3, compression frame 4, first compression mechanism 5a, cover plate 6 and second compression mechanism 5b are constituted.

[0033] The rectangle outer frame 1 is as the main frame of die, and the bottom port is tightly covered with filter screen 2. The aperture of filter screen 2 is carefully set between 0.3-0.9mm, and adopts metal material. The main function of the filter screen 2 is to filter the moisture in the soybean milk efficiently in the tofu forming process. With its fine aperture, it can make the moisture pass smoothly under the premise of ensuring that the solid matter in the soybean milk does not lose a lot, so it does not need to add cloth to wrap the soybean milk. This design simplifies the tofu making process, and the metal material ensures that the filter screen 2 has good durability and can withstand pressure and friction during multiple uses.

[0034] The inner wall of the rectangle outer frame 1 is provided with a plurality of detachable baffles 3. Specifically, the top port of the rectangle outer frame 1 is provided with a slot 101, and the side wall close to the top of the baffle 3 is fixedly connected with a plug 301, which can be accurately inserted into the slot 101. At the same time, the two side walls of the baffle 3 and the two inner walls of the rectangle outer frame 1 are in sliding connection. This design not only facilitates the installation and disassembly of the baffle 3, but also easily controls the size of the tofu block by flexibly adjusting the number of baffles 3 and their positions in the rectangle outer frame 1. When a larger size of tofu block is needed, the number of baffles 3 can be reduced or the distance between the baffles 3 can be adjusted; if a smaller size of tofu block is needed, the number of baffles 3 can be increased and the distance between the baffles 3 can be reduced. In addition, the bottom of the baffle 3 is blocked with the top surface of the filter screen 2, which ensures that the baffle 3 can stably separate the soybean milk during the tofu forming process, providing reliable guarantee for forming tofu blocks of different sizes.

[0035] The bottom of the filter screen 2 is covered by a pressing frame 4, the inner wall of the pressing frame 4 is fixedly connected with a plurality of support bars 401, the top surface of the support bars 401 is in abutment with the bottom of the filter screen 2, the support bars 401 serve to support the filter screen 2, preventing the filter screen 2 from being excessively deformed under pressure, and ensuring the stability of the mold.

[0036] The first pressing mechanism 5a is used to connect the pressing frame 4 and the rectangular outer frame 1. It comprises a mounting block 501 fixedly installed on the side wall of the pressing frame 4. The mounting block 501 is hingedly connected with a movable block 502, the side wall of the movable block 502 is provided with a rectangular opening 503, and the top surface of the movable block 502 is threadedly connected with an adjusting bolt 504. The bottom end of the adjusting bolt 504 is rotatably connected with a pressing block 505 in sliding connection with the inner wall of the rectangular opening 503. The first pressing mechanism 5a further comprises a fixed block 506, the side wall of the fixed block 506 is fixedly connected with the side wall of the rectangular outer frame 1, the top surface of the fixed block 506 is provided with a groove, the side wall of the pressing block 505 is in sliding connection with the inner wall of the groove, and the bottom can be pressed against the bottom of the groove. By rotating the adjusting bolt 504, the pressing block 505 can be pushed to move up and down in the rectangular opening 503 and the groove, thereby adjusting the pressing degree between the pressing frame 4 and the rectangular outer frame 1.

[0037] The top of the rectangular outer frame 1 is covered with a cover plate 6, and the second pressing mechanism 5b is used to connect the cover plate 6 and the rectangular outer frame 1. The second pressing mechanism 5b has the same structure as the first pressing mechanism 5a, the mounting block 501 of the second pressing mechanism 5b is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cover plate 6, and the side wall of the fixed block 506 of the second pressing mechanism 5b is fixedly connected with the side wall of the rectangular outer frame 1. Through the second pressing mechanism 5b, the cover plate 6 can be firmly fixed on the top of the rectangular outer frame 1, providing the necessary pressure during the tofu forming process.

[0038] In actual use of the tofu forming mold, the filter screen 2 is first installed at the bottom port of the rectangular outer frame 1, then according to the desired size of the tofu block, the partition plate 3 is reasonably selected and installed. Then pour the soybean milk into the mold, cover the cover plate 6, and press the cover plate 6 through the second pressing mechanism 5b. At the same time, the first pressing mechanism 5a is used to connect the pressing frame 4 and the rectangular outer frame 1 and adjust the pressing degree, so that the filter screen 2 is in a suitable tight state. Under the action of pressure, the water in the soybean milk seeps out through the filter screen 2, and finally forms the molded tofu. After molding, the first pressing mechanism 5a, the pressing frame 4, the partition plate 3, the second pressing mechanism 5b and the cover plate 6 can be disassembled in turn, and the molded tofu is taken out.

[0039] The outer wall of the rectangular outer frame 1 close to the bottom is provided with a filter hole, and the diameter of the filter hole is 0.3-1mm.

[0040] The cover plate 6 is provided with a filter hole, and the diameter of the filter hole is 0.3-1mm.

[0041] The filter hole is arranged on the partition plate 3, and the aperture of the filter hole is 0.3-0.9mm.
