[0034] The following embodiments are only for illustration. Various embodiments can be combined, which are not limited to the following single embodiment.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides a mold fermentation basket for placing fermented bean curd, which is used for placing bean curd blocks A inoculated with mold on the surface, like a strip basket as shown in Figure 6 The mold fermentation basket also includes

[0036] As shown in Figure 1 The basket body 1 has upper and lower surfaces in communication, which ensures that the bean curd blocks A placed in the basket body 1 are fully fermented.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1 The placing part 2 is fixedly installed in the interior of the basket body 1, and the bean curd blocks A are placed on the placing part 2.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1 The difference between the present mold fermentation basket and the prior art is that the placing part 2 is provided with a plurality of point-shaped support members; the bean curd blocks A placed in the basket body 1 only contact the top of the point-shaped support members; the top to the bottom of the point-shaped support members has a height space for accommodating the mold grown during the fermentation of the bean curd blocks A; the specific value of the widest part of the top of the point-shaped support members is determined according to the size of the fermented bean curd, and cannot be generalized.

[0039] The mold fermentation basket for placing fermented bean curd, through the above design, makes the mold fermentation basket in the fermentation production process of fermented bean curd, unlike the prior art that places the bean curd blocks A in the strip basket as shown in Figure 6 for fermentation, when the bean curd blocks A are placed flat in the strip basket, as shown in Figure 7 The bottom contact surface of the bean curd blocks has three indentation parts without inoculating mold; when the bean curd blocks are placed obliquely in the strip basket, as shown in Figure 8As shown, two sides of the tofu block A each have a line of indentation where there is no inoculation of Mucor; the tofu block without inoculation of Mucor is prone to breaking, and thus the finished fermented beancurd is prone to melting and becoming a muddy soup during the later production and transportation process. The Mucor fermentation basket of the present application has contact with the tofu block A only at the points shown, and these contact points can be completely covered by the Mucor growing nearby, so that the tofu block does not break during the later production and transportation process of the fermented beancurd, and the fermented beancurd does not melt and become a muddy soup, completely solving the industry pain point in the background art. Figure 5 As shown, two sides of the tofu block A each have a line of indentation where there is no inoculation of Mucor; the tofu block without inoculation of Mucor is prone to breaking, and thus the finished fermented beancurd is prone to melting and becoming a muddy soup during the later production and transportation process. The Mucor fermentation basket of the present application has contact with the tofu block A only at the points shown, and these contact points can be completely covered by the Mucor growing nearby, so that the tofu block does not break during the later production and transportation process of the fermented beancurd, and the fermented beancurd does not melt and become a muddy soup, completely solving the industry pain point in the background art. Figure 9 As shown, two sides of the tofu block A each have a line of indentation where there is no inoculation of Mucor; the tofu block without inoculation of Mucor is prone to breaking, and thus the finished fermented beancurd is prone to melting and becoming a muddy soup during the later production and transportation process. The Mucor fermentation basket of the present application has contact with the tofu block A only at the points shown, and these contact points can be completely covered by the Mucor growing nearby, so that the tofu block does not break during the later production and transportation process of the fermented beancurd, and the fermented beancurd does not melt and become a muddy soup, completely solving the industry pain point in the background art.

[0040] At the same time, the tofu block A in the Mucor fermentation basket of the present application is placed flat, so that problems such as the bar-shaped basket shown in Figure 6 which must be placed obliquely during use, making it difficult for the staff to operate, and the tofu block A placed obliquely is prone to tipping over during transportation, etc., do not occur.

[0041] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The placing portion 2 comprises a plurality of sawtooth-shaped members 21 arranged in parallel, both ends of the sawtooth-shaped members 21 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the basket body 1; the point-shaped support members are the sawteeth 211 of the sawtooth-shaped members 21; the present embodiment gives a specific structural form of the placing portion 2 provided with a plurality of point-shaped support members, and more specifically, the sawteeth 211 of the sawtooth-shaped members 21 are "U"-shaped, or "V"-shaped, or pen nib-shaped, etc.

[0042] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 In order to ensure the strength of the plurality of sawtooth-shaped members 21 arranged in parallel in the previous embodiment, a reinforcing strip 23 can be designed to fixedly connect the plurality of sawtooth-shaped members 21 together, both ends of the reinforcing strip 23 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the basket body 1.

[0043] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 There is a gap between adjacent two sawtooth-shaped members 21, the upper and lower surfaces of the basket body 1 being connected through the gap between adjacent two sawtooth-shaped members 21, so as to ensure that the tofu block A placed in the basket body 1 is fully fermented.

[0044] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The placing portion 2 comprises a plurality of placing strips 22 arranged in parallel, each of the placing strips 22 having a plurality of pen-shaped support columns 221 fixedly connected thereto; the point-shaped support members are the pen-shaped support columns 221; the present embodiment gives another specific structural form of the placing portion 2 provided with a plurality of point-shaped support members.

[0045] AsFigure 3 As shown, referring to the design of the placement part 2 as a sawtooth-shaped part 21, the placement part 2 is set as a placement strip 22, and each placement strip 22 is fixed with multiple pen-shaped support columns 221. The multiple placement strips 22 can also be connected by reinforcing strips 23. There is also a gap between two adjacent placement strips 22, which will not be described in detail here.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, compared to the design of the placement section 2 as a placement strip 22, on which multiple pen-shaped support columns 221 are fixedly attached, the design of the placement section 2 as a serrated part 21 has better strength and the entire mold fermentation basket is easier to produce.

[0047] In another implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The top of the dotted support is a smooth surface, ensuring that the dotted support will not puncture the surface of the tofu block A.

[0048] In another implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The top of the support can be a spherical surface, an arc surface, or other smooth surfaces, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] In another implementation, please refer to Figure 4 The cross-section of the basket 1 is quadrilateral, which, combined with the square shape of the tofu block A, makes the cross-section of the basket 1 more convenient for production and transportation.

[0050] In other implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the basket 1 is equipped with a handle on the outside for easy handling by staff.

[0051] In summary, this fermentation basket for tofu has multiple point-like supports fixedly installed on the placement part 2 inside the basket body 1. The tofu block A placed in the basket body 1 only contacts the tops of these point-like supports. The design of the point-like supports, from top to bottom, provides sufficient space to accommodate the mold growth on the tofu block A during fermentation. This design ensures that, unlike placing the tofu block A in a separate container, this fermentation basket does not cause mold growth during the tofu fermentation process. Figure 6 As with existing processes where fermentation takes place in a strip-shaped basket, indentations are produced; however, this mold fermentation basket, because it is only similar to tofu block A... Figure 5 The contact points shown are completely covered by the nearby mold, preventing tofu block A from breaking during the later stages of production and transportation. This avoids the problems of tofu melting and clouding, completely solving this industry pain point in the background technology. Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.
