Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing technology, specifically a quick-cutting mold for thousand-layer tofu. Background Technology

[0002] At present, thousand-layer tofu products are very popular among consumers. The reasons can be summarized as follows: (1) High protein and low fat characteristics. Every 100 grams of thousand-layer tofu contains 12.2 grams of high-quality plant protein and the fat content is only 1 / 3 of that of traditional tofu, which meets the modern consumer's pursuit of high protein and low calorie food; (2) Functional ingredients. It contains rich soy lecithin, which can promote nerve cell protection and brain development. Soy sterols inhibit cholesterol absorption and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease; (3) Q-elastic and tender unique taste. Thousand-layer tofu uses a special process of combining soy protein isolate and starch to form a dense network structure, which gives it elasticity and toughness far exceeding that of traditional tofu. It does not fall apart after long cooking and can fully absorb the soup, achieving a "flavorful and not dissipated" eating experience.

[0003] To ensure uniformity in shape, manufacturers often use molds for steaming and shaping when producing thousand-layer tofu, followed by manual demolding and cutting. This process is not only complex but also results in a high defect rate, increasing production costs. Furthermore, manual demolding and cutting can introduce microorganisms or pathogens, raising food safety concerns. Additionally, manual cutting cannot guarantee uniform dimensions. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems of manual demolding and cutting of existing thousand-layer tofu, which involves high labor intensity, uneven cut sizes, and unsanitary conditions, this utility model provides a rapid cutting mold for thousand-layer tofu.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A quick-cutting mold for thousand-layer tofu includes a press, a worktable connected to the press, guide rods connected to both sides of the worktable, the two guide rods having through-cutting grooves, a material discharge hole in the center of the worktable, several sliding sleeves slidably connected to both guide rods, a first cutter passing through the cutting grooves connected between corresponding sliding sleeves on both sides, two rotating rods rotatably connected to the side of the sliding sleeves away from the worktable, the rotating rods on adjacent sliding sleeves being scissor-type rotatably connected, a nut block being rotatably connected to the outermost rotating rod, and a screw being threadedly connected to the two nut blocks; The upper side of the workbench is provided with a mold box inserted into the material drop hole, the lower side of the mold box is provided with a second cutter that intersects with the first cutter, and the lower side of the mold box is provided with a slot in which a clamping plate is slidably inserted.

[0006] A further improvement of this utility model is that a handle is installed on the side of the clamping plate.

[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that the handle has anti-slip texture.

[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that a stop block is provided on the lower side of the clamping plate, and a limiting groove corresponding to the stop block is provided on the side walls of the mold box.

[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that a chamfer is provided on the upper side of the material discharge hole.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that the number of sliding sleeves slidably connected on each guide rod is odd, and the middle sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the worktable.

[0011] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: In operation, workers place the tofu sheet material into a mold box, which is then placed in a steaming chamber for steaming. After steaming and shaping, the tofu sheet is removed and cooled. The mold box is then placed on the material discharge hole on the worktable, and the clamping plate is pulled out, allowing the press to drop and press the entire tofu sheet downwards. The tofu sheet passes through the first and second cutters, thus being divided into the required small pieces. When adjusting the required cutting width, simply turn the screw to reduce or increase the distance between the two nut blocks. Rotating the rod drives the sliding sleeve to move synchronously closer or further away, adjusting the distance between the first cutters and changing the cutting size of the tofu sheet. This device allows workers to pass the tofu sheet formed in the mold through the press and cutters into small pieces, achieving machine demolding and cutting. This avoids the inconsistent sizes and food safety risks caused by manual demolding and cutting, greatly reducing labor intensity and improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0021] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a quick-cutting mold for thousand-layer tofu includes a manually operated press 1. The press 1 has a pressure plate at its lower end. A stainless steel workbench 2 is connected and installed on the press 1. Guide rods 3 are connected and installed on both sides of the workbench 2. The two guide rods 3 have through-cutting grooves 4. The workbench 2 has a material drop hole 5 in the center. Several sliding sleeves 6 are slidably connected and installed on both guide rods 3. A first cutter 7 passing through the cutting groove 4 is connected and installed between the corresponding sliding sleeves 6 on both sides. Two rotating rods 8 are rotatably connected and installed on the side of the sliding sleeves 6 away from the workbench 2. The rotating rods 8 on adjacent sliding sleeves 6 are scissor-type rotating connections. Nut blocks 9 are rotatably connected and installed on the outermost rotating rod 8. Screws 10 are threadedly connected and installed on the two nut blocks 9. The threads on the screws 10 are threads with opposite directions at both ends, which can make the nut blocks 9 move closer or separate when the screws 10 are rotated. Alternatively, one side of the nut block 9 can be rotatably connected to the screws 10, and rotating the screws 10 can make the other threaded nut block 9 move closer or further away. The upper side of the workbench 2 is provided with a mold box 11 inserted into the material drop hole 5. Handles are connected and installed on the two outer side walls of the mold box 11 for easy lifting by the staff. The lower side of the mold box 11 is provided with a second cutter 12 that intersects with the first cutter 7. The cutter can be perpendicular to the first cutter 7 to cut out square blocks, or it can be inclined to the first cutter 7 to cut out diamond blocks. The lower side of the mold box 11 is provided with a slot 13, in which a clamping plate 14 is slidably inserted. The first cutter 7 and the second cutter 12 can use blades or thin shreds to ensure sharp cutting of the thousand-layer tofu.

[0022] In use, workers place the tofu sheet raw material into the mold box 11, put the mold box 11 into the steaming chamber for steaming, and after steaming and shaping, remove it and let it cool. Then, place the mold box 11 on the material discharge hole 5 on the workbench 2, pull out the clamping plate 14, and let the press plate of the press 1 drop down, pressing the entire block of tofu downwards. The tofu sheet passes through the first cutter 7 and the second cutter 12, thus being divided into the required small pieces. When it is necessary to adjust the required cutting width, simply turn the screw 10 to reduce or increase the distance between the two nut blocks 9. The rotating rod 8, which rotates in a cross manner, drives the sliding sleeve 6 to move synchronously away or closer, adjusting the distance between the first cutters 7 and changing the cutting size of the tofu sheet. This device allows workers to pass the tofu sheet formed in the mold box 11 through the press 1 and cut into small pieces, achieving machine demolding and cutting. This avoids the inconsistent sizes and food safety risks caused by manual demolding and cutting, greatly reducing labor intensity and improving production efficiency.

[0023] It should be noted that, in order to prevent the thousand-layer tofu from being difficult to demold from the mold box 11, edible lubricating oil should be applied to the inside of the mold box 11 in advance for anti-stick treatment, or the mold box 11 should be made of anti-stick material. After steaming and shaping, it needs to be cooled to allow the thousand-layer tofu to shrink, making it easier to demold. At the same time, it can prevent burns to the operators.

[0024] The clamping plate 14 is equipped with a handle 15 on its side. The handle 15 allows workers to easily pull out the clamping plate 14.

[0025] The handle 15 features anti-slip textures. These textures can be circular or crisscrossed, increasing friction when the operator grips the handle 15, reducing grip strength, and making the removal of the clamp 14 easier.

[0026] The clamping plate 14 has a stop block 16 on its lower side, and the mold box 11 has corresponding limiting grooves 17 on both side walls. The stop block 16 is threaded and detachably connected to the clamping plate 14. When the clamping plate 14 is pulled out, it allows the bottom of the thousand-layer tofu to be fully exposed, facilitating demolding without having to remove the clamping plate 14. This avoids the time and effort of reinstalling the clamping plate 14, improving work efficiency. When cleaning is required, simply remove the stop block 16 to completely pull out the clamping plate 14 for cleaning.

[0027] The material discharge hole 5 has a chamfer 18 on its upper side. The chamfer 18 can enlarge the opening of the material discharge hole 5, making it easier to install the mold box 11, so that the mold box 11 can be locked in place and improving work efficiency.

[0028] In this design, each guide rod 3 has an odd number of sliding sleeves 6 slidably connected to it, with the middle sliding sleeve 6 being fixedly connected to the worktable 2. Fixing the middle sliding sleeve 6 ensures that the adjusted spacing of the sliding sleeve 6 remains fixed without affecting its adjustment, preventing movement of the sliding sleeve 6 from altering the size and shape of the cut tofu sheets and affecting product consistency.

[0029] In operation, workers place the tofu sheet material into mold box 11, then place mold box 11 into a steaming chamber for steaming. After steaming and shaping, the tofu sheet is removed and cooled. The mold box 11 is then secured to the material discharge hole 5 on the workbench 2 by holding the handle bracket. The clamping plate 14 is pulled out by holding the non-slip handle 15, causing the press plate 1 to drop and press the entire tofu sheet downwards, passing it through the first cutter 7 and the second cutter 12, thus dividing it into the required small pieces. When adjusting the required cutting width, simply turn the screw 10 to reduce or increase the distance between the two nut blocks 9. The rotating rod 8, which rotates in a cross pattern, drives the sliding sleeve 6 to move synchronously away or closer, adjusting the distance between the first cutters 7 and changing the cutting size of the tofu sheet. This device allows workers to pass the tofu sheet formed in mold box 11 through the press 1 and cut into small pieces, achieving machine demolding and cutting. This avoids the inconsistent sizes and food safety risks caused by manual demolding and cutting, greatly reducing labor intensity and improving production efficiency.
