Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tofu processing technology, specifically a multi-station tofu forming table. Background Technology

[0002] In the tofu-making process in the soy product industry, the curdled tofu is placed into a forming box and pressed into shape.

[0003] Traditional tofu forming processes typically employ a single-station pressing method, which suffers from the following technical drawbacks: manual packaging and pressing of each tofu is cumbersome and difficult to meet the demands of large-scale production; multi-station operations require step-by-step control, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; traditional pressing devices have a simple structure with significant differences in pressure distribution between the center and edges, leading to uneven dehydration and unstable tofu quality (such as surface cracking or internal looseness); the pressing force acts directly on the axle structure, which can easily cause deformation or breakage of the axle with long-term use, resulting in high equipment maintenance costs; and the pressing depth and pressure adjustment rely on manual experience, making it difficult to accurately control the thickness and consistency of the tofu's texture.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tofu forming table that can achieve simultaneous and efficient pressing at multiple workstations, uniform pressure distribution, durable equipment, and precise operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-station tofu forming table that can simultaneously achieve efficient pressing at multiple stations.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments thereof.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-6 In this embodiment of the present invention, a multi-station tofu forming table includes a frame 1. The bottom end of the frame 1 is threaded with support feet to support the frame 1 and allow for leveling. A movable trolley 2 is slidably mounted on the top end of the frame 1. An elastic wheel 3 is mounted below the movable trolley 2, and a pad 202 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the movable trolley 2. During movement, under the elastic action of the spring column 303 of the elastic wheel 3, the movable trolley 2 maintains a certain height with the moving rail 101 on the frame 1, allowing the movable trolley 2 to move freely along the moving rail 101. During pressing and forming, the spring column 303 is compressed and held in place by the pad 202, so the force does not act on the elastic wheel. On the axle 305 of wheel 3, thereby reducing the damage to the axle 305 and ensuring the service life of the mobile trolley 2, the top of the mobile trolley 2 is provided with an integrated mobile box 201, and the top of the frame 1 is fixedly provided with multiple mounting brackets 4. The top of the mounting bracket 4 is provided with a forming cylinder 402, and the telescopic end of the forming cylinder 402 is provided with a pressure frame 5. The telescopic end of the forming cylinder 402 extends to drive the pressure frame 5 to move down and press the tofu inside the integrated mobile box 201 to form it. The top of the pressure frame 5 is fixedly provided with a balance pressure grid connected to the telescopic end of the forming cylinder 402. The balance pressure grid can ensure that the central pressure is evenly transmitted to the surrounding area, ensuring the forming effect of the tofu.

[0022] In this embodiment, preferably, a moving rail 101 is fixedly provided at the top of the frame 1, and the elastic wheel 3 slides with the moving rail 101. The sliding cooperation between the moving rail 101 and the elastic wheel 3 can guide and limit the movement of the moving trolley 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, preferably, the balancing pressure grid includes a first balancing frame 501, which is fixedly installed at the top of the pressure frame 5. The top of the first balancing frame 501 is fixedly provided with a second balancing frame 502 connected to the telescopic end of the forming cylinder 402. The cooperation between the first balancing frame 501 and the second balancing frame 502 can ensure that the central pressure is evenly transmitted to the surrounding area, thus ensuring the forming effect of the tofu.

[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, a mounting base 401 is fixedly provided at the middle of the top of the mounting frame 4, the forming cylinder 402 is fixedly provided at the top of the mounting base 401, and a connecting seat 503 is fixedly provided at the top of the balance frame 502, and the connecting seat 503 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the forming cylinder 402.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, connecting frames 504 are fixedly provided on both sides of the top of the balance frame 501, and guide wheels 505 are provided on the top of the connecting frame 504. Guide rails 403 that slide with the guide wheels 505 are fixedly provided on both sides of the mounting frame 4. The sliding cooperation between the guide rails 403 and the guide wheels 505 plays a guiding and limiting role in the movement of the pressure frame 5.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the elastic wheel 3 includes a mounting plate 301, an upper fixed plate 302, a spring column 303, a lower fixed plate 304, a wheel axle 305, and a movable wheel 306. The mounting plate 301 is fixedly disposed inside the movable trolley 2. The upper fixed plate 302 is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the mounting plate 301. The lower fixed plate 304 is disposed below the upper fixed plate 302, and the spring column 303 is mounted on the top end of the lower fixed plate 304. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the spring column 303 and installed between the upper fixed plate 302 and the lower fixed plate 304. The mounting plate 301 and the upper fixed plate 302 are slidably connected to the top of the spring column 303. The wheel axle 305... The wheel axle 305 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the lower fixed plate 304. A movable wheel 306 is rotatably provided in the middle of the wheel axle 305. When the movable trolley 2 moves, under the elastic action of the spring on the spring column 303 of the elastic wheel 3, the movable trolley 2 maintains a certain height with the moving rail 101 on the frame 1, so that the movable trolley 2 can move freely along the moving rail 101. During the pressing and molding, the spring on the spring column 303 is compressed and held by the pad strip 202. The force does not act on the wheel axle 305 of the elastic wheel 3, thereby reducing the damage to the wheel axle 305 and ensuring the service life of the movable trolley 2. In addition, the lower fixed plate 304 has a wheel groove in the middle that corresponds to the movable wheel 306, so that the rotation of the movable wheel 306 is not interfered with.

[0027] In use, after the integrated moving box 201 is placed on the upper box distribution table, it is pushed into the frame 1. Then, the forming cylinder 402 is activated. The telescopic end of the forming cylinder 402 extends, driving the pressing frame 5 to move downward to press the tofu in the integrated moving box 201, so that the tofu in multiple workstation boxes can be pressed and formed at the same time. This ensures uniform pressure, consistent action, and controllable depth. Under the action of the balancing pressure grid, the central pressure is evenly transmitted to the surrounding area. The guide rail 403 and guide wheel 505 on the frame 1 ensure smooth downward pressing. When the moving trolley 2 moves, under the elastic action of the spring on the spring column 303 of the elastic wheel 3, the moving trolley 2 maintains a certain height with the moving rail 101 on the frame 1, allowing the moving trolley 2 to move freely along the moving rail 101. During the pressing and forming, the spring on the spring column 303 is compressed and held by the pad strip 202. The force does not act on the wheel axle 305 of the elastic wheel 3, thereby reducing the damage to the wheel axle 305 and ensuring the service life of the moving trolley 2.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
