[0021] The present invention will now be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the skewering device for processing tofu skewers according to this utility model includes a skewering platform 1. A first electric cylinder 2 is installed at one end of the skewering platform 1 to control the movement of the tofu placement plate 3 on the skewering platform 1. A pressing frame 4 is installed on one side of the skewering platform 1, and a second electric cylinder 5 is installed on the pressing frame 4. A pressing base 6 is installed at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 5. A skewering mechanism 7 is also installed on the skewering platform 1. The skewering mechanism 7 can adopt the structure disclosed in the patent with authorization announcement number CN221284600U, or a mechanism from the prior art can be selected by those skilled in the art according to their needs. Since the above content is all publicly available prior art and not within the scope of this application's improvement, those skilled in the art can understand it based on the published documents and actual product equipment; therefore, it will not be described in detail further.

[0023] The tofu-skewering platform 1 is equipped with a tofu placement plate 3, which has multiple partitions 8. Each partition 8 is adjustable and can slide on the tofu placement plate 3. Spaces for placing tofu are formed between adjacent partitions 8 and between partitions 8 and the sidewalls of the tofu placement plate 3. This invention, by allowing the partitions 8 to slide and adjust, enables flexible adjustment of the placement space between adjacent partitions 8 and between partitions 8 and the sidewalls, according to the size of the tofu blocks. For example, when small tofu blocks need to be skewered, the spacing between the partitions 8 can be reduced; for large tofu blocks, the spacing can be increased. This eliminates the need to replace the entire tofu placement plate 3, significantly improving the device's adaptability to different sizes of tofu blocks and meeting diverse production needs. Furthermore, the adjustable partitions 8 design allows a single placement plate to accommodate tofu blocks of various sizes, avoiding the procurement and storage costs of multiple placement plates and reducing production input.

[0024] Furthermore, the tofu placement plate 3 is provided with multiple anti-slip raised strips 9 at intervals, and the partition plate 8 has through holes 10 for the anti-slip raised strips 9 to pass through. The anti-slip raised strips 9 are spaced apart on the tofu placement plate 3, and their raised structure can increase the friction of the contact surface, preventing the tofu blocks from sliding due to the pushing force of skewering, cylinder pressing, or other external forces. The height and spacing of the raised strips 9 are usually designed according to the hardness of the tofu blocks, providing sufficient friction while avoiding excessive compression damage to the tofu blocks. Compared with traditional smooth placement plates, the anti-slip raised strips 9 can reduce surface damage to tofu blocks caused by sliding friction, and at the same time prevent tearing caused by positional misalignment during skewering, thereby improving the finished product qualification rate.

[0025] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided on the tofu placement plate 3 between the anti-slip protrusions 9. Preferably, two sliding grooves are provided and distributed between each group of anti-slip protrusions 9 at both ends of the width direction of the tofu placement plate 3. A sliding rod 11 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove, and the number of sliding rods 11 matches the number of partitions 8. After the sliding rod 11 passes through the sliding groove, a limiting plate 12 is provided. The limiting plate 12 and the sliding rod 11 are preferably detachably connected to facilitate disconnection and removal of the partitions 8 from the tofu placement plate 3, providing convenience for the replacement and cleaning maintenance of the partitions 8. Preferably, as shown in the figure... Figure 4 The slide bar 11 is threadedly connected to the limiting plate 12; at this time, the side walls at both ends of the tofu placement plate 3 extend downward to form a support structure, so that a space for the limiting plate 12 to move is formed between the bottom of the tofu placement plate 3 and the skewering platform 1.

[0026] Furthermore, the partition 8 is elastically connected to the slide rod 11. Specifically, the partition 8 has a receiving hole 13, and a spring 14 is installed inside the receiving hole 13. The slide rod 11 extends into the receiving hole 13 and connects with the spring 14. In the initial state, the bottom of the partition 8 is in close contact with the inner bottom wall of the tofu placement plate 3, and the top of the limiting plate 12 is in contact with the outer bottom of the tofu placement plate 3 to fix the position of the partition 8. When adjustment is needed, the partition 8 is pulled up to create a gap between it and the bottom of the tofu placement plate 3 and the anti-slip protrusion 9, allowing for movement and adjustment. At this time, the slide rod 11 is still inside the receiving hole 13, so that when the partition 8 moves, it drives the slide rod 11 and the bottom limiting plate 12 to move, preventing the slide rod 11 from coming out of the receiving hole 13 and causing the spring 14 to twist and deform. Since the partition 8 only needs to move a small distance each time, the upward pulling force will not hinder the movement of the limiting plate 12.

[0027] In addition, a ball bearing 15 is movably mounted on the top of the limiting plate 12. In the initial state, the ball bearing 15 is in contact with the bottom of the tofu placement plate 3. The ball bearing 15 reduces the friction between the limiting plate 12 and the tofu placement plate 3. The ends of the partition plate 8 and the corresponding ends of the tofu placement plate 3 are provided with meshing positioning teeth 16 and positioning grooves 17. That is, the ends of the partition plate 8 are provided with positioning teeth 16 or positioning grooves 17, and the ends of the corresponding tofu placement plate 3 are provided with positioning grooves 17 or positioning teeth 16. The meshing of the positioning teeth 16 and positioning grooves 17 can further improve the stability of the partition plate 8 and prevent the partition plate 8 from moving under force during operation, which would affect the tofu stringing operation. Preferably, two sets of positioning teeth 16 and positioning grooves 17 are arranged, located at both ends of the partition plate 8 and the tofu placement plate 3, respectively. The meshing positioning teeth 16 and positioning grooves 17 at both ends can effectively ensure the stability of the partition plate 8. To improve the accuracy and convenience of each adjustment of the partition 8, a scale line can be set at the end of the partition 8 to facilitate intuitive observation of the distance between two adjacent partitions 8.

[0028] This invention allows for easy adjustment of the distance between two adjacent partitions 8. Simply pull up the partition 8, causing it to move upwards. The positioning teeth 16 and positioning groove 17 of the partition 8 will disengage. Then, move the partition 8 to the designated position and release it. The restoring force of the spring 14 will then drive it to reset. The structure is simple and easy to operate, effectively expanding the flexibility of use and enabling a single placement plate to be compatible with various sizes of tofu blocks. This avoids the procurement and storage costs of multiple specifications of placement plates and reduces production input.
