Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tofu production technology, specifically to a tofu shaping device for tofu production. Background Technology

[0002] In the tofu production process, once the tofu has formed blocks and initially set, it enters a crucial post-processing stage. First, the tofu needs to be manually placed into specific frames. Workers carefully use shovels to lift the tofu from the forming equipment and neatly arrange it into the frames. The purpose of this step is to transfer the tofu to containers more suitable for subsequent processing, while ensuring the integrity of the tofu blocks and preventing breakage or deformation during transfer, thus preparing it for the following processes.

[0003] Multiple frames need to be stacked one on top of the other. The weight of the upper frame and the tofu itself applies pressure to the tofu below, creating a squeezing effect. This squeezing step is crucial for the final shaping of the tofu. It allows for a more even distribution of moisture inside the tofu, removes excess water, and enhances the tofu's toughness and firmness. However, existing frames are usually rectangular containers, which requires the shovel to twist the tofu when it is put in and taken out. If the force is not appropriate, the tofu can easily break, affecting subsequent shaping. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tofu shaping device for tofu production, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a tofu shaping device for tofu production, comprising:

[0006] A limiting shell is provided, with a positioning shell rotatably connected to its top. A protective plate is slidably connected inside the positioning shell. Multiple shaping frames are slidably connected to the top of the positioning shell, and a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shaping frames.

[0007] Furthermore, two positioning frames are symmetrically fixed to the top of the limiting shell, and the positioning shell is rotatably connected to the two positioning frames. Two hydraulic rods are rotatably connected to the top of the limiting shell, and the output end of the hydraulic rods is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the positioning shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting shell has two sliding plates slidably connected inside, and a support block is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plates. One-way screws are rotatably connected to both inner walls of the limiting shell. The one-way screws pass through the adjacent sliding plates and are screwed to them. A dual-axis motor is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the limiting shell, and the two output ends of the dual-axis motor are fixedly connected to the adjacent one-way screws.

[0009] Furthermore, limit frames are fixedly connected to both inner walls of the positioning shell, and the protective plate is slidably connected between the two limit frames. Two hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the positioning shell, and the output end of the hydraulic rods is fixedly connected to the protective plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a fixing frame is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the shaping frame, and ear plates are fixedly connected to both outer side walls of the shaping frame. Two limiting rods are fixedly connected to the top of the positioning shell, and the limiting rods pass through the adjacent ear plates and are slidably connected to them.

[0011] Furthermore, a telescopic grid is provided on the top of the positioning shell, and the bottom end of the telescopic grid is rotatably connected to the positioning shell. A shaft is rotatably connected to the outer wall of each of the multiple shaping frames, and the shaft is rotatably connected to the adjacent node of the telescopic grid. A hydraulic rod three is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning shell, and the output end of the hydraulic rod three is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the uppermost shaping frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressure plate has the same inner bottom profile as the shaping frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] Simultaneous activation of two hydraulic rods tilts multiple shaping frames, while activation of hydraulic rod three lifts the top shaping frame. Driven by a telescopic grid, multiple shaping frames are simultaneously lifted while maintaining equal spacing, ensuring adequate space between them. When adding whole blocks of tofu to the frames, the open-end design of one end of the frame ensures smoother feeding, preventing twisting and breakage, and facilitating subsequent shaping. Moving the protective plate to the front of the frames limits the tofu's movement, preventing it from slipping out. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tofu shaping device for tofu production, including a limiting shell 10, a positioning shell 11 rotatably connected to the top of the limiting shell 10, a protective plate 111 slidably connected inside the positioning shell 11, a plurality of shaping frames 12 slidably connected to the top of the positioning shell 11, and a pressure plate 121 fixedly connected to the bottom of the shaping frame 12.

[0022] In practice, activating two hydraulic rods 113 drives the protective plate 111 to move inside the positioning shell 11, facilitating the loading and unloading of the shaping frame 12. Two positioning frames 101 limit the rotation of the positioning shell 11. Simultaneously activating two hydraulic rods 102 adjusts the angle of the positioning shell 11 and its components, tilting multiple shaping frames 12 so that the end of the shaping frame 12 closest to the hydraulic rod 127 is at a lower position. When adding a whole block of tofu into the shaping frame 12, this guides the tofu and prevents it from slipping out. Activating the hydraulic rod 127 lifts the uppermost shaping frame 12. Driven by the telescopic grid 125, multiple shaping frames 12 can be lifted synchronously. During the process, equal spacing is maintained to allow space between multiple shaping frames 12, facilitating the feeding of materials into the shaping frames 12. The open-end design of the shaping frames 12 makes the feeding of tofu more stable, preventing twisting and breakage of the tofu and facilitating subsequent shaping of the tofu. After adding tofu into the multiple shaping frames 12, the protective plate 111 is moved to the front end of the multiple shaping frames 12 to limit the multiple tofu pieces and prevent them from slipping out. The hydraulic rod 102 is activated to rotate the positioning shell 11 to a horizontal state. The dual-axis motor 105 is activated to synchronously drive the two support blocks 103. When the positioning shell 11 is in a horizontal state, the two support blocks 103 are moved to the bottom of the positioning shell 11 for auxiliary support, thereby sharing the force of the hydraulic rod 102.

[0023] See Figure 4 The top of the limiting shell 10 is symmetrically fixed with two positioning frames 101. The positioning shell 11 is rotatably connected to the two positioning frames 101. The top of the limiting shell 10 is rotatably connected with two hydraulic rods 102. The output end of the hydraulic rods 102 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the positioning shell 11.

[0024] The limiting shell 10 has two sliding plates 104 inside, and a support block 103 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plate 104. One-way screws 106 are rotatably connected to both inner walls of the limiting shell 10. The one-way screws 106 pass through the adjacent sliding plate 104 and are screwed to it. A dual-axis motor 105 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the limiting shell 10. The two output ends of the dual-axis motor 105 are fixedly connected to the adjacent one-way screws 106.

[0025] In practice, the positioning shell 11 is rotated and limited by two positioning frames 101, and the positioning shell 11 and its components can be angled by synchronously activating two hydraulic rods 102. This tilts multiple shaping frames 12, so that the end of the shaping frame 12 closest to the hydraulic rod 127 is in a lower position. When a whole block of tofu is added into the shaping frame 12, the tofu can be guided as a whole to prevent it from slipping out. Activating the dual-axis motor 105 synchronously drives the two support blocks 103. When the positioning shell 11 is in a horizontal state, the two support blocks 103 are moved to the bottom of the positioning shell 11 to provide auxiliary support, thereby sharing the force of the hydraulic rod 102.

[0026] See Figure 2 Limiting frames 112 are fixedly connected to both inner walls of the positioning shell 11. The protective plate 111 is slidably connected between the two limiting frames 112. Two hydraulic rods 113 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the positioning shell 11. The output end of the hydraulic rods 113 is fixedly connected to the protective plate 111.

[0027] In practice, the protective plate 111 is vertically slidably limited by two limiting frames 112. Activating two hydraulic rods 113 can drive the protective plate 111 to move inside the positioning shell 11, facilitating the loading and unloading of the shaping frame 12. Moving the protective plate 111 to the front end of multiple shaping frames 12 can limit multiple tofu pieces, preventing them from slipping out. The opening at one end of the shaping frame 12 makes it easier to avoid breaking the tofu when loading it, making loading safer.

[0028] See Figure 1-2 A fixed frame 122 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the shaping frame 12. Ear plates 123 are fixedly connected to both outer walls of the shaping frame 12. Two limiting rods 124 are fixedly connected to the top of the positioning shell 11. The limiting rods 124 pass through the adjacent ear plates 123 and are slidably connected to them.

[0029] The top of the positioning shell 11 is provided with a telescopic grid 125, the bottom end of the telescopic grid 125 is rotatably connected to the positioning shell 11, and a shaft 126 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of multiple shaping frames 12. The shaft 126 is rotatably connected to the adjacent node of the telescopic grid 125. A hydraulic rod 127 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning shell 11, and the output end of the hydraulic rod 127 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the uppermost shaping frame 12.

[0030] The inner bottom surface contour of the pressure plate 121 is the same as that of the shaping frame 12.

[0031] In practice, the ear plate 123, in conjunction with the limiting rod 124, slides and limits the multiple shaping frames 12 in the vertical direction. The hydraulic rod 127 is activated to drive the uppermost shaping frame 12 to rise. Driven by the telescopic grid 125, the multiple shaping frames 12 can be raised synchronously and maintain equal spacing during the process, so that there is space between the multiple shaping frames 12, which facilitates the loading and unloading of materials inside the shaping frame 12. The setting of the shaping frame 12 with an open end makes the loading of tofu more stable, prevents the tofu from twisting and breaking, and facilitates the subsequent shaping of the tofu.

[0032] Working principle: Activating two hydraulic rods 113 drives the protective plate 111 to move inside the positioning shell 11, facilitating the loading and unloading of the shaping frame 12. Two positioning frames 101 limit the rotation of the positioning shell 11. Simultaneously activating two hydraulic rods 102 adjusts the angle of the positioning shell 11 and its components, tilting multiple shaping frames 12 so that the end of the shaping frame 12 closest to the hydraulic rod 127 is at a lower position. When adding a whole block of tofu into the shaping frame 12, this guides the tofu and prevents it from slipping out. Activating the hydraulic rod 127 lifts the uppermost shaping frame 12. Driven by the telescopic grid 125, multiple shaping frames 12 are simultaneously lifted. Maintaining equal spacing during the process allows for sufficient space between multiple shaping frames 12, facilitating the feeding of materials into the frames 12. The open-end design of the shaping frames 12 ensures more stable feeding of tofu, preventing twisting and breakage, and facilitating subsequent shaping. After adding tofu into the multiple shaping frames 12, moving the protective plate 111 to the front of the frames 12 limits the tofu, preventing it from slipping out. The hydraulic rod 102 is then activated to rotate the positioning shell 11 to a horizontal position. The dual-axis motor 105 synchronously drives the two support blocks 103. With the positioning shell 11 horizontal, the two support blocks 103 are moved below the positioning shell 11 for auxiliary support, thus sharing the load on the hydraulic rod 102.
