Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tofu making technology, specifically referring to a water-squeezing device used in tofu processing. Background Technology

[0002] In tofu processing, after the tofu curds form, they are placed in a mold and pressed to squeeze out excess water, allowing the tofu curds to bind together and form tofu with a certain shape and firmness. If the water is not squeezed out, the tofu will be too loose and cannot be shaped. Moreover, excessive water content will affect the texture and shelf life of the tofu. Squeezing out water appropriately can adjust the texture of the tofu.

[0003] In existing technologies, the common method for squeezing water out of tofu is manual squeezing. This involves wrapping the tofu curd, placing a weight on top, and applying pressure to the tofu curd to squeeze out the water. However, this method has some drawbacks: it is not easy to control the pressure on the tofu curd; excessive pressure can easily cause the tofu to break or become too hard; insufficient pressure results in poor water extraction and low efficiency. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that in the prior art, when manually squeezing water out of tofu, placing heavy objects makes it difficult to control the pressure on the tofu, resulting in poor squeezing effect and low efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above functions, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a water-squeezing device for tofu processing includes an outer frame, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer frame, a water-squeezing groove fixedly connected to the fixing plate, a drain hole provided on the bottom wall of the water-squeezing groove, a water-receiving device provided at the lower end of the water-squeezing groove, and an elastic water-squeezing device provided on the top wall of the outer frame and located directly above the water-squeezing groove to elastically squeeze water from the tofu curd in the water-squeezing groove.

[0006] Furthermore, the elastic squeezing device includes an electric push rod, which is fixed to the top wall of the outer frame. The lower end of the electric push rod is connected to a connecting plate. The upper end of the connecting plate is provided with two sets of guide rods symmetrical to the electric push rod. The guide rods extend upward through the top wall of the outer frame. The lower end of the connecting plate is provided with a spring, and the lower end of the spring is connected to a pressure plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the water receiving device includes a connecting column, which is fixed to the inner wall of the outer frame, and a water receiving trough is fixed to the other end of the connecting column. The water receiving trough is funnel-shaped and located directly below the squeezing trough.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper end face of the pressure plate is provided with a second guide rod, which extends symmetrically upward through the connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the springs are arranged in a linear array on the upper end face of the pressure plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a control panel is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame, and the control panel is electrically connected to the electric push rod.

[0011] The beneficial effects achieved by adopting the above-described structure are as follows:

[0012] 1. This utility model features an elastic squeezing device. An electric push rod pushes the connecting plate downward, and the pressure plate presses the tofu placed in the squeezing trough. The spring gradually increases the pressure on the pressure plate, which can flexibly adjust the squeezing pressure of the pressure plate on the tofu, thereby improving the squeezing effect and efficiency.

[0013] 2. This utility model incorporates a water receiving device, in which a water receiving tank collects the water generated during the squeezing process and discharges it through a discharge valve. Attached Figure Description

[0020] like Figure 1-3 The present invention relates to a water-squeezing device for tofu processing, comprising an outer frame 1, a fixing plate 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer frame 1, a water-squeezing groove 3 fixedly connected to the fixing plate 2, a drain hole 4 provided on the bottom wall of the water-squeezing groove 3, a water-receiving device 5 provided at the lower end of the water-squeezing groove 3, and an elastic water-squeezing device 6 provided on the top wall of the outer frame 1 and located directly above the water-squeezing groove 3 to elastically squeeze water from the tofu curd in the water-squeezing groove 3.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 The elastic squeezing device 6 includes an electric push rod 7, which is fixed to the top wall of the outer frame 1. The lower end of the electric push rod 7 is connected to a connecting plate 8. The upper end of the connecting plate 8 is symmetrically provided with two sets of guide rods 11 on the electric push rod 7. The guide rods 11 extend upward through the top wall of the outer frame 1. The lower end of the connecting plate 8 is provided with a spring 9. The lower end of the spring 9 is connected to a pressure plate 10. The springs 9 are arranged in a linear array on the upper end of the pressure plate 10. The upper end of the pressure plate 10 is provided with a second guide rod 15. The second guide rod 15 extends upward symmetrically through the connecting plate 8. By pushing the connecting plate 8 with the electric push rod 7, the pressure plate 10 can elastically squeeze water out of the bean curd in the squeezing trough 3. At the same time, the squeezing pressure on the bean curd can also be adjusted.

[0022] like Figure 1-3 The water receiving device 5 includes a connecting column 12, which is fixed to the inner wall of the outer frame 1. The other end of the connecting column 12 is fixed to a water receiving trough 13, which is funnel-shaped and located directly below the squeezing trough 3. A discharge valve 14 is provided at the lower end of the water receiving trough 13. When squeezing water from the tofu, water can leak down through the leakage hole 4 and be received by the water receiving trough 13. The water in the water receiving trough 13 can be discharged through the discharge valve 14.

[0023] like Figure 1-2 A control panel 16 is fixedly attached to the outer wall of the outer frame 1, and the control panel 16 is electrically connected to the electric push rod 7.

[0024] In practical use, wrap the tofu curd that needs to be squeezed with a cloth and place it in the squeezing trough 3. Then, drive the electric push rod 7 to move down through the control panel 16, and the connecting plate 8 to move down. The spring 9 pushes the pressure plate 10 to move down, and the pressure plate 10 squeezes the water out of the tofu curd in the squeezing trough 3. As the connecting plate 8 moves down, the spring 9 can adjust the pressure on the pressure plate 10, thereby adjusting the pressure of the pressure plate 10 on the tofu curd in the squeezing trough 3.

[0025] The water produced during the squeezing process leaks through the hole 4 into the water receiving tank 13 and is discharged through the discharge valve 14. The present invention allows for adjustment of the pressure on the tofu during the squeezing process, making it more flexible, ensuring the quality of tofu production, and improving work efficiency.
