Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thousand-layer tofu processing technology, specifically to a refrigeration rack for thousand-layer tofu production. Background Technology

[0002] Thousand-layer tofu is a biomimetic food made primarily from soy protein isolate through high-temperature steaming and rapid cooling to set its shape. It typically has a water content of 88%-92% and a soft texture. In industrial production, after being cut and shaped, thousand-layer tofu needs to be refrigerated at 0-4℃ for 12-24 hours to set its shape. This process requires a support device that can stably support the tofu's shape while minimizing the risk of adhesion between contact surfaces.

[0003] Traditional refrigerated racks often use a grid-like shelf structure, employing flat supports and high-density grid-like plates to provide simple and stable support for tofu. However, this type of flat support has an excessively large contact area with the tofu.

[0004] In practical applications, the flat shelf forms a surface contact with the bottom of the tofu. Under low temperature conditions, water crystallization can cause the tofu skin to stick to the shelf over a large area, making it prone to breakage when peeled off. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a refrigeration rack for the production of thousand-layer tofu, which can alleviate the problem of excessive adhesion between the thousand-layer tofu and the main body of the device after long-term refrigeration.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cold storage rack for producing thousand-layer tofu, including a support frame and a supporting assembly. The supporting assembly includes multiple support rods fixedly connected to the middle of the support frame in an array. Support rods on the same horizontal plane form one layer, and two layers of support rods are provided. The two layers of support rods are distributed vertically, dividing the middle of the support frame into multiple parallelogram intervals in an array. Each interval can hold thousand-layer tofu. Triangular strips are fixedly connected to the top of each support rod. The top width of the triangular strip is smaller than the bottom width, and the bottom width of the triangular strip is larger than the top width of the support rod. This can reduce the effective contact area between the thousand-layer tofu and the device, and can alleviate the situation of excessive adhesion between the thousand-layer tofu and the device body after long-term cold storage.

[0007] Each of the triangular strips has a fixed cushioning pad at the top, and the top of the cushioning pad is curved; this is to prevent the tofu from being damaged due to concentrated pressure during refrigeration.

[0008] Both sides of the triangular strip are fixedly connected with multiple arrayed protrusions; that is, the planar contact is transformed into multi-point contact, reducing the adhesion area between the tofu and the triangular strip.

[0009] Both sides of the bottom of the triangular strip are fixedly connected to extension plates, and the top of the extension plates are all sloping; this expands the support range of the support component for the tofu and improves the support effect for the tofu.

[0010] The bracket has a connecting component in the middle, which includes a retaining ring that is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket, and slots are provided at the bottom of the bracket; multiple refrigerated racks can be stacked one on top of the other to achieve multi-layer expansion.

[0011] The connecting components also include connecting blocks that are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bracket, and each connecting block has a connection port in the middle; this provides additional connection points, enhances the stability and load-bearing capacity of the overall structure, and improves the durability and safety of the refrigerated rack.

[0012] The inner wall of the support frame has multiple arrayed ventilation slots in the middle, which helps to optimize the air circulation efficiency during refrigeration.

[0013] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] 1. Since the tofu has already received initial support, the contact area between its curved part and the triangular strip at the bottom will be further reduced. This can further reduce the effective contact area between the tofu and the device, and alleviate the situation where the tofu sticks excessively to the device body after long-term refrigeration.

[0015] 2. Thousand-layer tofu can be placed in the support rod with the two corners closer together. At this time, the two corners with the larger gap are not covered by the tofu, which can optimize the flow of cold air during the subsequent refrigeration process and make the refrigeration effect better.

[0016] 3. Multiple devices can be installed in a coordinated manner, thus enabling multi-layer expansion and assembly of the refrigerated rack. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-5 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown: This embodiment provides a cold storage rack for producing thousand-layer tofu, including a support frame 100 and a support assembly 200. The support assembly 200 includes multiple support rods 201 fixedly connected to the middle of the support frame 100 in an array. The support rods 201 on the same horizontal plane form one layer, and there are two layers of support rods 201. The two layers of support rods 201 are distributed vertically, dividing the middle of the support frame 100 into multiple parallelogram intervals in an array. Each interval can hold thousand-layer tofu. The top of each support rod 201 is fixedly connected to a triangular strip 202. The top width of the triangular strip 202 is smaller than the bottom width, and the bottom width of the triangular strip 202 is larger than the top width of the support rod 201.

[0028] When the tofu is placed, the bottom of the tofu contacts the triangular strip 202 at the top of the upper support rod 201. The narrower top of the triangular strip 202 effectively reduces the contact area between the tofu and the device. Since the two layers of support rods 201 divide the support 100 into intervals, each interval consists of four support rods 201, the upper support rods 201 and triangular strips 202 can provide initial support for the tofu. The inclined surface of the triangular strip 202 can guide the supported part of the tofu to naturally tilt upwards. The tofu will bend and contact the bottom support rods 201 and triangular strips 202 when supported. Since the tofu has received initial support, the contact area between its bent part and the bottom triangular strip 202 will be further reduced. This can further reduce the effective contact area between the tofu and the device, and alleviate the situation of excessive adhesion between the tofu and the device body after long-term refrigeration.

[0029] The parallelogram interval formed by two layers of support rods 201, with each interval containing four support rods 201, the distance between two corners of the four support rods 201 is smaller than the distance between the other two corners. In this way, the tofu can be placed in the position where the two corners of the support rods 201 are smaller. At this time, the two corners with larger corners are not covered by the tofu, which can optimize the flow of cold air during subsequent refrigeration and make the refrigeration effect better.

[0030] Triangular strip 202 Figure 2 , 3 As shown,

[0031] Each of the triangular strips 202 has a buffer pad 203 at its top, and the top of each buffer pad 203 is an arc surface.

[0032] When the thousand-layer tofu comes into contact with the triangular strip 202, the arc-shaped structure of the buffer pad 203 can disperse local pressure and form a flexible transition contact, ensuring that the bottom surface of the thousand-layer tofu maintains sufficient contact with the triangular strip 202, while avoiding damage to the tofu skin caused by direct contact with hard materials.

[0033] 204 raised strip Figure 2 , 3 As shown,

[0034] Both sides of the triangular strip 202 are fixedly connected with multiple arrayed protrusions 204;

[0035] The array of protruding strips 204 can change the contact surface between the triangular strip 202 and the tofu from a flat surface to a concave-convex surface. This further disperses the contact between the tofu and the triangular strip 202 into multiple contact points during subsequent refrigeration. This not only retains the inclined guiding function, but also effectively avoids large-area surface contact between the tofu and the supporting component 200 through the concave-convex surface formed by the protruding strips 204, thereby reducing the adhesion area between the tofu and the supporting component 200 after refrigeration.

[0036] Extension plate 205 Figure 3 As shown,

[0037] Both sides of the bottom of the triangular strip 202 are provided with extension plates 205, and the top of the extension plates 205 are all inclined.

[0038] The extension plate 205 can extend the support range of the support component 200 for the tofu. When the middle of the tofu is pressed down and contacts the lower support rod 201, the inclined surface of the extension plate 205 will abut against the curved edge of the tofu to form auxiliary support. At this time, the top inclined surface of the extension plate 205 will contact the side of the tofu, which can improve the support effect on the tofu.

[0039] Connection component 300, etc. Figure 1 , 4 As shown in Figure 5,

[0040] A connecting component 300 is provided in the middle of the bracket 100. The connecting component 300 includes a retaining ring 301 provided at the top of the bracket 100 and a retaining groove 302 provided at the bottom of the bracket 100. The retaining ring 301 and the retaining groove 302 have the same shape.

[0041] By using the combination of the retaining ring 301 and the retaining groove 302, multiple devices can be installed in a vertical arrangement, thus enabling multi-layer expansion assembly of the refrigerated rack.

[0042] Connector block 303, for example Figure 1 , 4 As shown in Figure 5,

[0043] The connecting assembly 300 also includes connecting blocks 303 disposed at the four corners of the bracket 100, and each connecting block 303 has a connecting port 304 in the middle.

[0044] Different brackets 100 can be further and reliably connected by connecting block 303 and connecting port 304. After simple positioning by retaining ring 301 and retaining groove 302, connecting block 303 can be further and reliably connected together by bolts. The connection component 300 can effectively improve the expandability of this device.

[0045] Ventilation groove 101 Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4,

[0046] The inner wall of the support 100 is provided with multiple arrayed ventilation grooves 101;

[0047] The ventilation slot 101 can optimize the air circulation efficiency during refrigeration. When the cold air diffuses, the airflow channel formed by the ventilation slot 101 can allow the cold air to enter the refrigeration rack evenly and wrap around the surface of the tofu.

[0048] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0049] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
