Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of tofu processing technology, and in particular to a tofu pressing device. Background Technology
[0002] Tofu contains a lot of water during its production and preservation. When cooking and frying, it can cause oil to splatter, which can easily burn your hands. In addition, the high water content can also make the food taste worse. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a tofu pressing device to reduce the water content of tofu.
[0004] The technical solution of this application is as follows: This application provides a tofu pressing device, including a placement box with a drainage hole at the bottom, a support leg extending into the placement box, a pressure plate inside the placement box pressing against the surface of the tofu, the pressure plate including a slider inserted into the support leg, and a positioning rod screwed into the support leg to abut against the slider.
[0005] By adopting the technical solution of this application, the pressure plate can maintain the squeezing of tofu by the contact between the positioning rod and the slider. The water that is squeezed out of the tofu due to the squeezing is discharged through the drain hole, which can reduce the water content of the tofu.
[0006] In some implementations, the legs are arranged perpendicular to the base plate of the box.
[0007] In some implementations, the sidewalls of the outriggers are provided with clearance grooves.
[0008] In some implementations, the clearance groove is arranged parallel to the axis of the outrigger.
[0009] In some implementations, the slider has an internal cavity for housing the spring.
[0010] In some implementations, a movable plate is provided in the inner cavity that abuts against the top of the spring.
[0011] In some implementations, the top of the inner cavity has a through hole with a diameter smaller than that of the movable plate.
[0012] In some implementations, the lower end of the positioning rod is provided with a pressure rod that abuts against the movable plate.
[0013] In some implementations, the pressure bar and the positioning bar are arranged coaxially.
[0014] In some implementations, the pressure bar compresses the spring. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0017] In related technologies, tofu contains a lot of water during its production and preservation. When cooking and frying, it can cause oil to splatter, which can easily burn your hands. In addition, the high water content can also make the food taste worse.
[0018] In view of this, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a tofu pressing device to reduce the water content of tofu.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, a tofu pressing device includes a placement box 10 with a drainage hole 12 at the bottom, a support leg 13 extending into the placement box 10, and a pressing plate 20 pressed against the surface of the tofu 30 inside the placement box 10. The pressing plate 20 includes a slider 21 inserted into the support leg 13, and a positioning rod 15 that abuts against the slider 21 is screwed into the support leg 13.
[0020] Using the technical solution of this embodiment, the pressure plate 20 can maintain the squeezing of the tofu 30 by the contact between the positioning rod 15 and the slider 21. The water that is squeezed out of the tofu 30 due to the squeezing is discharged through the drain hole 12, which can reduce the water content of the tofu 30.
[0021] In this embodiment, the placement box 10 is constructed as a rectangular box with an open top. Drainage holes 12 are evenly distributed on the bottom plate 11 of the placement box 10. The tofu 30 is placed inside the placement box 10 and placed on the bottom plate 11. The pressure plate 20 is placed on the upper surface of the tofu 30. The pressure plate 20 squeezes the tofu 30, causing the water inside the tofu 30 to be squeezed out. The squeezed water is discharged through the drainage holes 12.
[0022] In this embodiment, support legs 13 are provided at the four corners of the placement box 10. The support legs 13 pass through the bottom plate 11 and extend into the interior of the placement box 10. The support legs 13 are sealed and welded to the bottom plate 11. The support legs 13 are constructed as hollow cylindrical tubes. The support legs 13 are arranged perpendicularly to the bottom plate 11 of the placement box 10. A clearance groove 14 is provided on the side wall of the support legs 13, and the clearance groove 14 is arranged parallel to the axis of the support legs 13. The clearance groove 14 is arranged inside the placement box 10. A positioning rod 15 is screwed on the top of the support legs 13. A pressure rod 16 is provided at the inner end (i.e., the lower end) of the positioning rod 15, and the pressure rod 16 is arranged coaxially with the positioning rod 15.
[0023] In this embodiment, sliders 21 are welded to the four corners of the pressure plate 20. The sliders 21 are slidably engaged inside the support leg 13. The sliders 21 and the pressure plate 20 are connected at the clearance groove 14. The sliders 21 have an inner cavity in which a spring 22 is placed. At the same time, a movable plate 23 is provided in the inner cavity to abut against the top of the spring 22. The top of the inner cavity has a through hole with a diameter smaller than that of the movable plate 23. The pressure rod 16 passes through the through hole and abuts against the movable plate 23. When the lower end face of the positioning rod 15 abuts against the upper end face of the slider 21, the pressure rod 16 is fully inserted into the inner cavity of the slider 21 and pushes the movable plate 23 downward to further compress the spring 22.
[0024] It should be noted that the positioning rod 15 is screwed into the inside of the support leg 13 and abuts against the top of the slider 21, which can maintain the pressure plate 20 on the tofu 30.
[0025] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this application. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this application.
