Description

A pressing device for processing dried bean curd. Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dried bean curd processing equipment, specifically to a pressing device for processing dried bean curd. Background Technology

[0002] Dried tofu is a traditional folk snack with a long history. It is mainly made by pressing tofu pudding into a dried tofu press.

[0003] In the tofu processing industry, pressing is a crucial step in shaping the texture and form of the tofu. Traditional tofu pressing equipment generally suffers from difficulties in demolding. The pressure plates and trays in traditional pressing devices are mostly in rigid, planar contact. Under high pressure, the tofu blanks tend to adhere tightly to the surfaces of the pressure plates and trays, creating an adhesive effect similar to "vacuum adsorption." This is especially true for older tofu with lower moisture content, which is harder and less elastic. Demolding requires significant external force, and manual removal or prying with tools easily damages the surface, cracks the edges, or even causes the entire tofu to break.

[0004] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this utility model and does not represent an admission that the above content is the closest prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings and provide a pressing device for processing dried bean curd.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a pressing device for processing dried bean curd, comprising a press body and a combined pressing table composed of a base, a guide seat, a pressing chamber and a bottom plate, and further comprising:

[0007] The lifting assembly includes a baffle plate installed on the pressing chamber, a first corrugated pipe installed below the baffle plate, and a second corrugated pipe installed below the bottom plate, used to lift the bottom plate while closing the pressing chamber.

[0008] Furthermore, the baffle is arranged in a rectangular frame, and the side wall of the pressing chamber has a rectangular opening that matches the baffle.

[0009] Furthermore, a symmetrically arranged movable plate is fixedly installed above the baffle, with a threaded shaft passing through one side of the movable plate and a support shaft passing through the other side of the movable plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the threaded shaft is rotatably mounted at the upper end of the pressing chamber, the support shaft is fixedly mounted at the upper end of the pressing chamber, and an internal thread groove adapted to the threaded shaft is provided on the movable plate on the side corresponding to the threaded shaft. A rotating handle is fixedly mounted on one end of the threaded shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, there are multiple corrugated pipes of type one arranged in a rectangular shape below the baffle, and multiple corrugated pipes of type two arranged in a rectangular shape below the bottom plate. A connecting pipe is provided between the corrugated pipes of type one and type two, and the connecting pipe penetrates the inner wall of the bottom end of the pressing chamber.

[0012] Furthermore, the side of the flow guide seat is sloped, and the inner wall of the pressing chamber is provided with a cavity. A flow guide plate is fixedly installed in the cavity, and the side wall of the flow guide plate is provided with multiple holes.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention achieves non-contact demolding by setting up a lifting component, effectively avoiding damage to the dried bean curd from external forces. By pressing down the bottom plate, the first corrugated pipe is compressed, and the internal gas enters the second corrugated pipe through the first corrugated pipe, pushing the bottom plate to rise smoothly. During the lifting process, the dried bean curd rises slowly with the bottom plate and separates from the inner wall of the pressing chamber, avoiding damage to the surface and edges of the dried bean curd caused by manual picking or prying with tools, and effectively improving the overall work efficiency of dried bean curd processing.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4.

[0025] This utility model provides a pressing device for processing dried bean curd: a pressing device for processing dried bean curd includes a press body 1 and a combined pressing table 2 composed of a base 201, a guide seat 202, a pressing chamber 203 and a bottom plate 204. It also includes a lifting component 3 composed of a baffle 301 disposed on the pressing chamber 203, a corrugated pipe 305 disposed below the baffle 301 and a corrugated pipe 306 disposed below the bottom plate 204, which is used to lift the bottom plate 204 while closing the pressing chamber 203.

[0026] In one embodiment, the baffle 301 is arranged in a rectangular frame shape. The side wall of the pressing chamber 203 has a rectangular opening adapted to the baffle 301. A symmetrically arranged movable plate 302 is fixedly arranged above the baffle 301. A threaded shaft 303 is passed through one movable plate 302, and a support shaft 304 is passed through the other movable plate 302. The threaded shaft 303 is rotatably arranged at the upper end of the pressing chamber 203, and the support shaft 304 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the pressing chamber 203. 3. A corresponding movable plate 302 is provided with an internal thread groove that is compatible with the threaded shaft 303. One end of the threaded shaft 303 is fixedly provided with a rotating handle 3031. There are multiple corrugated pipes 305 arranged in a rectangular shape below the baffle 301. There are multiple corrugated pipes 306 arranged in a rectangular shape below the bottom plate 204. A connecting pipe 307 is provided between the corrugated pipes 305 and the corrugated pipes 306. The connecting pipe 307 penetrates the inner wall of the bottom end of the pressing chamber 203.

[0027] This design allows the rotating handle 3031 to drive the threaded shaft 303 to rotate. Utilizing the internal threaded groove of the moving plate 302, the baffle 301 descends smoothly along the rectangular opening, precisely sealing the pressing chamber 203. During this process, the first corrugated pipe 305 below the baffle 301 contracts under pressure, and the internal gas is simultaneously injected into the second corrugated pipe 306 below the bottom plate 204 through the connecting pipe 307, forming a pneumatic linkage. After the second corrugated pipe 306 expands, it evenly lifts the bottom plate 204, causing the bean curd blanks to slowly detach from the inner wall of the pressing chamber 203 along with the bottom plate 204, avoiding the adhesion and damage caused by traditional rigid contact.

[0028] The baffle 301 has a rectangular frame structure, which precisely matches the rectangular opening of the pressing chamber 203 to form a rigid sealed boundary. When the baffle 301 moves down to cover the guide plate 205, the interior of the pressing chamber 203 becomes an independent closed space, preventing pressure leakage during the pressing process. After the guide plate 205 is covered by the baffle 301 during the pressing stage, its upper area (tofu pressing area) is completely isolated from its lower area (drainage area). When the bottom plate 204 lifts and squeezes the tofu blank, the squeezed water flows quickly into the lower cavity through the holes of the guide plate 205, preventing water from accumulating in the upper part of the pressing chamber 203 or splashing back onto the surface of the tofu. The closed structure prevents external dust and foreign objects from entering the pressing chamber 203.

[0029] In one embodiment, the side of the flow guide seat 202 is sloped, and the inner wall of the pressing chamber 203 is provided with a cavity. A flow guide plate 205 is fixedly installed in the cavity, and the side wall of the flow guide plate 205 is provided with multiple holes.

[0030] With this design, the sloping surface of the guide seat 202 guides the water squeezed out during the pressing process to quickly converge to the bottom of the chamber, while the guide plate 205 in the cavity of the inner wall of the pressing chamber 203 accelerates water filtration through dense holes, preventing water accumulation and soaking of the dried bean curd.

[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
