Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for tofu processing, and in particular to a tofu pressing mold structure. Background Technology

[0002] Tofu is a traditional food made from soybeans or black beans. It is high in protein and popular in the market. The processing of tofu involves pressing, which uses pressure to shape the tofu. A mold is typically used for pressing. Current molds generally consist of an outer frame and a base supporting the frame. Grooves are usually formed on the top surface of the base. The outer shell is placed on the base, with both ends of the grooves outside the outer frame. During pressing, the bean curd (flocculated material) formed after coagulation and settling is scooped out and placed into the mold (which usually contains a filter cloth to trap the bean curd). Then, pressing is performed. During pressing, the liquid flows downwards into the grooves and then outwards, achieving dehydration, while the bean curd forms tofu. However, this dehydration process is relatively slow. If the pressing speed is too fast, water will accumulate at the bottom of the bean curd, and excessive pressure may cause the outer frame to burst. Therefore, the pressing speed cannot be too fast, resulting in relatively low processing efficiency overall. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tofu pressing mold structure, which solves the problem that the low dehydration efficiency in existing technologies leads to the inability to improve the overall processing efficiency.

[0004] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a tofu pressing mold structure includes an outer frame and a support box. A pressure plate is also provided inside the outer frame. The lower end of the outer frame can be fastened to the upper end of the support box. The top surface of the support box is closed and also provided with several first drainage holes. The lower end of the support box is also provided with several connecting holes. It also includes a support frame located inside the support box, on which multiple trays are provided, and the trays can abut against the inner top surface of the support box. In this solution, the support box provides support for the outer frame and the tofu inside. During the pressing process, water flows directly downwards through the first drainage holes into the support box, and then outwards through the connecting holes. Even if there is a large amount of water, it can be temporarily stored in the support box and will not accumulate at the lower end of the outer frame. Therefore, it avoids the outer frame from breaking open, thus appropriately increasing the pressing speed and solving the problem of low dehydration efficiency in the prior art, which leads to a lack of improvement in overall processing efficiency.

[0005] Furthermore, the tray is also equipped with several second drainage holes, which are connected to some of the first drainage holes.

[0006] Furthermore, the pallet is also provided with several protruding positioning heads, and the inner top surface of the lifting box is provided with several positioning grooves for the positioning heads to abut into one by one.

[0007] Furthermore, the positioning head corresponds one-to-one with the second water leakage hole and is also provided with a third water leakage hole that communicates with the second water leakage hole. The positioning groove is located at the lower end of the first water leakage hole corresponding to the second water leakage hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the support frame includes a base plate, which is fixedly connected to each tray via connecting posts.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the lifting box is open and fastened to the support surface, and the connecting hole is formed by the side wall of the lifting box and the support surface.

[0010] Furthermore, a support platform is provided on the lower end of the side wall of the lifting box, and the lower end of the outer frame abuts against the support platform.

[0011] Furthermore, a connecting hole is located at the lower end of the support platform.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] By setting a support box below the outer frame, the outer frame is fastened to the support box. The first drainage hole set at the top of the support box can directly supply water into the support box. Even if the amount of water is large, it can be temporarily stored in the support box, so as not to cause excessive water accumulation at the bottom of the outer frame. This avoids the outer frame from breaking open, thereby appropriately increasing the pressing speed and solving the problem that the low dehydration efficiency in the existing technology leads to the failure to improve the overall processing efficiency.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0020] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a tofu pressing mold structure, which includes an outer frame 1 and a support box 11. A pressure plate 2 is also provided inside the outer frame 1. The lower end of the outer frame 1 can be fastened to the upper end of the support box 11. The pressure plate 2 is used to cover the upper surface of the tofu curd. A separate pressing device (such as a hydraulic press) contacts the pressure plate 2 downwards, applying downward pressure to achieve pressing. The top surface of the support box 11 is closed and also provided with several first drainage holes 3. The closed top surface provides support for the tofu curd, while the first drainage holes 3 supply water to pass through into the support box 11, thus preventing the outer frame 1 from bursting open. This allows for a suitable increase in pressing speed and solves the problem in the prior art where low dehydration efficiency leads to insufficient overall processing efficiency. Several connecting holes 4 are provided at the lower end of the lifting box 11, through which water can be discharged outwards. The mold structure also includes a lifting frame located inside the lifting box 11, on which multiple trays 5 are provided. The trays 5 can abut against the inner top surface of the lifting box 11. The lifting frame provides upward support for the top surface of the lifting box 11, thus improving the stability of the lifting box 11 and preventing it from being crushed. In a more detailed scheme, several second drainage holes 6 are provided on the trays 5. The second drainage holes 6 are connected to some of the first drainage holes 3 one by one. This prevents the trays 5 from blocking some of the first drainage holes 3, allowing the water generated during the pressing process to flow smoothly into the lifting box 11.

[0021] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, in a further embodiment, to make the lifting box 11 and the lifting frame more stable, the tray 5 is provided with several protruding positioning heads 7, and the inner top surface of the lifting box 11 is provided with several positioning grooves for the positioning heads 7 to abut into. When placing the lifting box 11, the positioning heads 7 are simply placed into the corresponding positioning grooves. In this way, the lifting box 11 and the tray 5 are relatively fixed, thus maintaining a more stable structural state during the pressing process and ensuring stable pressing. In a more detailed embodiment, the positioning heads 7 correspond one-to-one with the second drainage holes 6 and are also provided with third drainage holes 8 that communicate with the second drainage holes 6. The positioning grooves are located at the lower end of the first drainage holes 3 corresponding to the second drainage holes 6. This avoids the positioning heads 7 and positioning grooves occupying extra space, allowing for a greater number of second drainage holes 6 and first drainage holes 3, ensuring that water flows smoothly downward into the lifting box 11.

[0022] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in a further embodiment, the lifting frame includes a base plate 12, which is fixedly connected to each tray 5 via a connecting post 9. This ensures that the lifting frame can be stably set up without affecting the temporary storage of water in the lifting box 11.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, in a further detailed scheme, the lower end of the lifting box 11 is open and fastened to the support surface, and the connecting hole 4 is formed by the side wall of the lifting box 11 and the support surface. That is, multiple notches are recessed in the lower side wall of the lifting box 11 and are formed by the support surface (such as the ground) to form corresponding connecting holes 4, so that all water can pass through the connecting hole 4 to the outside.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in a further embodiment, the lower end of the side wall of the lifting box 11 protrudes outward, and the lower end of the outer frame 1 abuts against the support platform 10. The connecting hole 4 is located at the lower end of the support platform 10. With this configuration, the lower end of the lifting box 11 is thicker, and the connecting hole 4 is located on the thicker part, which will not cause adverse effects on the overall structural stability. At the same time, this also provides a more stable support base for the outer frame 1. After pressing, the outer frame 1 can be lifted upward to remove the pressed tofu.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
