Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tofu processing technology, and in particular relates to a tofu cutting mold for tofu processing. Background Technology
[0002] There are currently three common types of tofu on the market: brine tofu, gypsum tofu, and silken tofu. Brine tofu sets quickly and is difficult to control; gypsum tofu contains more magnesium and calcium ions, giving it a bitter taste; silken tofu has a stronger sour taste. Thousand-layer tofu, made primarily from soy protein isolate and starch, with the addition of transglutaminase, is a low-fat, low-carbohydrate, and protein-rich modern food.
[0003] During the processing of tofu, a tofu cutting machine is needed to cut a large block of finished tofu into smaller pieces for easier transportation and packaging. Currently, tofu cutting machines have certain drawbacks when cutting tofu: 1. The cutting blade holder is inconvenient to replace, making it difficult to cut tofu into different shapes, resulting in low production efficiency; 2. During the cutting process, the tofu needs to be manually pressed to allow it to pass through the cutting threads, but when pressing, the operator's palm comes into contact with the cutting threads, which can easily cause injury to the operator. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a tofu cutting mold for tofu processing, which is equipped with multiple cutting templates and pressure plates. When changing the cutting template, it is only necessary to flip the cutting template through the handle groove to achieve quick switching, and it replaces the palm to press the tofu, avoiding injury to the operator.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A tofu cutting mold for tofu processing includes a support frame and columns installed at the four corners of the support frame. Inside the support frame, from top to bottom, there are a holding slot and a receiving slot. A receiving frame is placed in the holding slot. A cutting template is movably installed on the side of the support frame.
[0007] Two parallel T-shaped grooves are provided on one side of the cutting template. A slide rod is installed in the groove. T-shaped sliders for embedding in the groove are provided at both ends of the slide rod. A pressure plate is installed on one side of the slide rod.
[0008] The pressure plate has two lifting grooves inside. A protrusion is provided on one side of the slide rod and inserted into the lifting groove. A lifting rod is provided in the lifting groove and passes through the protrusion. The lifting rod and the protrusion are movably connected. A spring is fitted below the protrusion and outside the lifting rod. The spring force can keep the lower end of the pressure plate in contact with the cutting wire in the cutting template.
[0009] The cutting template is installed between two adjacent columns. A retaining shaft is provided at one end of the cutting template, and a groove for embedding the retaining shaft is provided at the upper end of the column. Through this structure, the cutting template can be installed movably, and the corresponding cutting template can be selected and rotated above the support as needed to cut the shape of tofu.
[0010] The lower end of the cutting template is provided with a handle groove, which allows the operator to easily pull and flip the cutting template to replace different cutting templates.
[0011] The pressing plate adopts a trapezoidal structure, and the outer side of the pressing plate is inclined, which makes it easy to press the tofu during the tofu cutting process and avoids the operator's palm being cut by the traditional manual pressing operation.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This utility model can meet the needs of different cutting shapes of tofu by setting multiple cutting templates. The cutting templates and the columns are movably connected. When changing the cutting templates, you only need to flip the cutting templates through the handle groove to achieve quick switching. The operation is simple and improves the production cutting efficiency.
[0014] 2. This utility model can keep the lower end of the pressure plate in contact with the cutting wire inside the cutting template under the elastic force of the spring. When the tofu is about to pass through the cutting wire completely, the pressure plate can be pulled to press down the tofu and make it pass through the cutting wire to complete the cutting process. This can avoid the palm of the hand coming into contact with the cutting wire and scratching the operator's palm, thus improving the safety of use. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0023] As attached Figures 1 to 5 As shown.
[0024] A tofu cutting mold for tofu processing includes a support 1 and columns 2 installed at the four corners of the support 1. The support 1 has a quadrilateral structure, and a cutting template 3 is installed on each of the four sides of the support 1. Each cutting template 3 is different and can meet the cutting needs of different shapes of tofu.
[0025] Specifically, the cutting template 3 is installed between two adjacent columns 2. A retaining shaft is provided at one end of the cutting template 3, and a groove for embedding the retaining shaft is provided at the upper end of the column 2. This structure allows for the movable installation of the cutting template 3, enabling the cutting of tofu into the desired shape, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, select the corresponding cutting template 3 and rotate it above the bracket 1.
[0026] Furthermore, inside the support 1, from top to bottom, there are a holding slot 12 and a storage slot 11. The holding slot 12 is used to place the receiving frame 6. When the tofu is cut, the tofu cut by the cutting template 3 falls into the receiving frame 6, which is convenient for collection and transfer.
[0027] Further details are attached. Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a handle groove 32 is provided at the lower end of the cutting template 3. The handle groove 32 allows the operator to easily pull the cutting template 3 to flip it, thereby changing between different cutting templates 3.
[0028] Furthermore, two parallel T-shaped grooves 31 are provided on one side of the cutting template 3. A slide rod 4 is installed in the groove 31, and T-shaped sliders for fitting into the groove 31 are provided at both ends of the slide rod 4. A pressure plate 5 is installed on one side of the slide rod 4. The pressure plate 5 adopts a trapezoidal structure, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 , 5As shown, the outer side of the pressure plate 5 is inclined, which makes it easier to press the tofu during the tofu cutting process and avoids the operator's palm being cut by the traditional manual pressing operation.
[0029] Furthermore, two lifting grooves 51 are provided inside the pressure plate 5. A protrusion is provided on one side of the slide rod 4 to insert into the lifting groove 51. A lifting rod 52 is provided inside the lifting groove 51 and passes through the protrusion. The lifting rod 52 is movably connected to the protrusion. A spring 53 is fitted below the protrusion and outside the lifting rod 52. Under the elastic force of the spring 53, the lower end of the pressure plate 5 can be kept in contact with the cutting wire in the cutting template 3. During the tofu cutting process, the tofu placed on the cutting template 3 needs to be manually pressed to complete the cutting. Simply placing it on the cutting wire in the cutting template 3 will not generate enough pressure to complete the cutting.
[0030] Therefore, when using it, the operator needs to select the corresponding cutting template 3 according to the shape of the tofu to be cut, then place the tofu on it and press down on the tofu with their hand. When the tofu is about to pass through the cutting thread, in order to avoid the thread scratching the operator's palm, the pressure plate 5 is pulled to move. Since the lower end of the pressure plate 5 is in contact with the cutting thread in the cutting template 3, the tofu can be pressed down when the pressure plate 5 is pulled, so that it passes through the cutting thread and completes the cutting process.
[0031] The cut tofu falls into the receiving frame 6, and the operator can then easily remove the cut tofu. When it is necessary to change the cutting template 3, the upper cutting template 3 can be easily flipped from a horizontal state to a vertical state using the handle groove 32, and then another cutting template 3 can be flipped above the support 1 to a horizontal state.
[0032] The storage slot 11 can store the slide bar 4 and pressure plate 5 when the cutting template 3 is in a vertical position, preventing the lower end of the cutting template 3 from tilting up.
[0033] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solution described in this utility model, or by designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution described in this utility model, falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
