Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mold for pressing tofu blocks. Background Technology

[0002] Tofu is a common food, and its production usually involves using a pressing mold. Loose tofu is pressed into relatively stable, cut blocks, allowing for precise control of moisture content and the creation of different types and textures. While commercially available tofu pressing molds suitable for home use are simple in structure and easy to operate, during the pressing and draining process, water drains directly from the bottom of the mold, causing it to overflow and making cleaning inconvenient.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems. We provide a tofu block pressing mold that solves the problem of water overflowing everywhere and has the advantage of facilitating subsequent cleaning by users.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, we provide a tofu block pressing mold, which includes a bottom shell, a support plate, and a pressure plate. The bottom shell has multiple horizontally spaced support platforms that cooperate to support the support plate. There is a water storage area between the bottom of the bottom shell and the support platforms. The support plate has multiple first water passage holes corresponding to the water storage area. The side of the bottom shell has a side pull-out opening corresponding to the support plate, through which the support plate can be pulled out from inside the bottom shell. The pressure plate is placed inside the bottom shell and above the support plate. The distance between the pressure plate and the support plate is adjusted by adjusting a screw.

[0006] In one or more embodiments, the pressure plate has upwardly extending side plates on opposite sides, and the upper end of the side plates is bent outward to form a first lug; the bottom shell has a second lug corresponding to the position of the first lug, the first lug is located above the second lug, the second lug has a threaded hole for screwing with the adjusting screw, the first lug has a through hole for the adjusting screw to pass through corresponding to the threaded hole, and the upper end of the adjusting screw has a hand-tightening part that can be pressed with the first lug.

[0007] In one or more embodiments, the pressure plate is provided with a plurality of second water passage holes, and a drainage gap is provided between the outer edge of the pressure plate and the inner wall of the bottom shell.

[0008] In one or more embodiments, the end of the tray corresponding to the side drawer extends at least to be flush with the outer edge of the side drawer, and a handle portion connecting to the end is provided on the outer side of the bottom shell.

[0009] In one or more embodiments, the tray has a sealing portion at the end of the handle portion, and the sealing portion is fitted and sealed to the side drawer opening.

[0010] In one or more embodiments, the support platform is strip-shaped, and the first water passage hole is offset from the support platform.

[0011] In one or more embodiments, the bottom shell, the support plate, and the pressure plate are all made of stainless steel.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: the tofu block pressing mold is provided with a water storage area for collecting tofu liquid, which can collect the overflowing water during the tofu pressing process. After the tofu block is pressed, the water in the water storage area can be poured out after the user takes out the tofu block, and the inside of the pressing mold can be rinsed. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Fig. 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the pressing mold according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0014] Fig. 2 This is an exploded view of the pressing mold according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0015] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0016] Please refer to Figs. 1-2 This application provides a tofu block pressing mold, which includes a bottom shell 1, a support plate 2, and a pressure plate 3. The bottom shell 1 has multiple horizontally spaced support platforms 4, which cooperate with each other to support the support plate 2. There is a water storage area 5 between the bottom of the bottom shell 1 and the support platforms 4, which is used to collect the water flowing out of the tofu block. The support plate 2 has multiple first water passage holes 6 corresponding to the water storage area 5, and the water flowing out of the tofu block can flow into the water storage area through the first water passage holes. The side of the bottom shell 1 has a side pull-out port 7 corresponding to the support plate, and the support plate 2 can be pulled out from the inside of the bottom shell 1 through the side pull-out port 7. The support plate can be pulled out more easily from the side, and then the inside of the bottom shell can be rinsed. The pressure plate 3 is placed inside the bottom shell 1 and above the support plate 2. The distance between the pressure plate 3 and the support plate 2 is adjusted by adjusting the screw 8. When using it, first remove the pressure plate, put the tofu on the tray, then put the pressure plate back in, and drive the pressure plate closer to the tray by adjusting the screw, and use the pressure plate to squeeze the tofu to remove the water.

[0017] Specifically, the pressure plate 3 has upwardly extending side plates 31 on opposite sides, and the upper end of the side plates is bent outward to form a first lug 32; the bottom shell 1 has a second lug 9 corresponding to the position of the first lug 32, the first lug 32 is located above the second lug 9, the second lug 9 has a threaded hole 10 for screwing with the adjusting screw 8, the first lug 32 has a through hole for the adjusting screw 8 to pass through corresponding to the position of the threaded hole 10, and the upper end of the adjusting screw 8 has a hand-tightening part 81 that can press against the first lug 32. The user can turn the adjusting screw with the hand-tightening part to make the pressure plate and the support plate closer or further apart.

[0018] The pressure plate 3 has multiple second water passage holes 11 distributed on it. A drainage gap is left between the outer edge of the pressure plate 3 and the inner wall of the bottom shell 1 so that the water in the tofu can be discharged from the second water passage holes and flow into the water storage area through the drainage gap.

[0019] The end of the tray 2 corresponding to the side drawer 7 extends at least to be flush with the outer edge of the side drawer. The cooperation between the tray and the side drawer improves sealing and prevents water from the tofu from leaking out. A handle 12 connected to this end is provided on the outer side of the bottom shell 1, allowing the user to easily remove the tray. Preferably, the tray 2 has a sealing part 13 at the end of the handle 12. The sealing part fits snugly against the side drawer and is made of silicone. After the tray is inserted into the bottom shell, the sealing part provides a tight seal against the side drawer, ensuring waterproofing.

[0020] The support platform 4 is strip-shaped, and the first water passage hole 6 is offset from the support platform to avoid the support platform affecting the drainage of the tray.

[0021] The bottom shell 1, the support plate 2, and the pressure plate 3 are all made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has the advantages of being waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean, and 316 food-grade stainless steel can be used.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the content disclosed in the present utility model should be included in the protection scope recorded in the claims.
