Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soybean product manufacturing technology, specifically a soybean product processing mold that allows for rapid demolding. Background Technology

[0002] Soy products are foods made primarily from soybeans, mung beans, green beans, peas, broad beans, and other legumes. Most soy products are reprocessed products of soy milk coagulated from soybeans, such as tofu or dried tofu. Existing technology CN113632928 A discloses a soy product processing mold. Sections 0037-0039 of the specification disclose a structure using a threaded groove on the outer surface of a lifting rod in conjunction with a ball bearing. This allows the ball bearing to roll within the groove, enabling the lifting rod to automatically descend and squeeze out excess water from the tofu, transforming it into tofu.

[0003] Although the aforementioned technical solution converts the mass of the structure into gravitational potential energy to squeeze and drain water without human intervention, this directly increases the weight of the structure. Secondly, dried tofu and tofu are made in the same way, both involving tofu curd being pressed and then demolded. However, dried tofu requires a longer pressing time and greater pressure. Therefore, the aforementioned technical solution itself requires a longer time to make tofu. Once dried tofu is made, its demolding time is even longer. It is actually not as fast as the hydraulic cylinder extrusion disclosed in the existing technology CN 205695380 U. However, the hydraulic cylinder also has the disadvantage of being too large in size and only suitable for large-scale commercial use, which is not suitable for home use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a quick-release mold for processing soybean products, which accelerates the drainage of tofu pudding, shortens the demolding time from tofu pudding to finished tofu or dried tofu, and is more convenient to use than hydraulic presses for pressing tofu or dried tofu, thus solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a quick-release mold for processing soybean products, comprising a box for holding tofu pudding, the box comprising a receiving part and a cover, wherein the cover covers the receiving part, the surface of the receiving part is provided with drainage holes, the cover and the receiving part are detachably connected by a connecting structure, a pressing sheet for downward contact with the tofu pudding is installed below the cover, and an airbag structure for driving the pressing sheet downward is installed at the connection between the pressing sheet and the cover.

[0006] Preferably, the top surface of the tablet is also connected to at least one balance rod that penetrates the cover. The balance rod is a hollow tube and is slidably connected to the cover after penetrating it, with the excess part located above the cover. The top of the balance rod is connected to an air pump.

[0007] Preferably, the airbag structure includes an airbag installed above the pressure tablet, the bottom surface of the airbag is fixedly connected to the top surface of the pressure tablet and the top surface does not contact the cover, the airbag is also connected to an air tube, and the air tube is connected to the inside of the balance bar.

[0008] Preferably, the number of airbags is one, with a single airbag laid flat on top of the pressure plate, and a space reserved at the center of the airbag for the balance bar to pass through.

[0009] Preferably, there are multiple airbags, which are evenly distributed above the tablet and each is connected to the inside of the balance bar through an air tube.

[0010] Preferably, the connection structure between the cover and the receiving part is a pin connection structure or a threaded connection structure.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a bean product processing mold that can be quickly demolded, and has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses an air pump to inflate a balance bar, which in turn supplies air to a single airbag via an air tube. Once inflated, the airbag expands and touches the lid. Because the lid is locked to the box by a pin or bolt structure, the airbag cannot lift the lid; instead, it presses down on the pressing plate. The pressing plate then moves down, squeezing out the tofu curd placed inside. Further, as the pressing plate squeezes out the water from the tofu curd, it is further compressed into tofu. At this point, the tofu can be demolded. To make dried tofu, air is pumped in again. Compared to existing technologies using static pressure, this method is faster and more convenient than traditional heavy-object pressing, achieving the beneficial effects of accelerating tofu curd drainage and shortening the demolding time from tofu curd to finished tofu or dried tofu.

[0012] 2. This utility model is divided into two types based on the air pump: household and commercial. The household type is a manual air pump with a one-way valve. This type of air pump does not leak air and its principle is the same as that of existing air cylinders. The commercial type uses a micro air-liquid booster pump, which achieves the beneficial effect of making tofu or dried tofu lighter and easier to press compared to hydraulic presses.

[0015] Hereinafter, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0016] Please refer to Figure 1-4 , a bean product processing mold capable of rapid demolding, comprising a box body 1 for holding soybean curd slurry, the box body is composed of an accommodating part 2 and a cover body 3, wherein the cover body 3 covers the upper part of the accommodating part 2, a drainage hole is provided on the surface of the accommodating part 2, the cover body 3 and the accommodating part 2 are detachably connected by a connecting structure, a pressing sheet 301 for downwardly contacting the soybean curd slurry is installed below the cover body 3, and an air bag structure 4 for driving the pressing sheet 301 to move downward is installed at the connection between the pressing sheet 301 and the cover body 3. Example 1

[0017] By installing the air bag structure 4 on the top of the pressing sheet 301, the principle of inflation and expansion of the air bag is used to extrude the soybean curd slurry under the pressing sheet 301, which not only avoids oil leakage that may occur when using a hydraulic cylinder for extrusion, but also avoids the long time required for automatic gravity extrusion like the prior art CN113632928 A.

[0018] Further, by pouring the soybean curd slurry into the box body 1, then covering the cover body 3 on the upper part of the accommodating part 2 to form a seal. Since the pressing sheet 301 and the cover body 3 form a "soil"-shaped structure through the balance bar 302, the movement of the cover body 3 can be completed by directly holding the balance bar 302. After the cover body 3 is completely covered, the air pump 303 is activated to inflate the balance bar 302, so that the air pipe 402 supplies air to the integral air bag 401. The air pump 303 is at least a manual air pump with a one-way valve. The principle of this type of air pump that inflates without deflating is equivalent to the existing inflator. Further, the air pump 303 can also use a miniature gas-liquid booster pump, such as Hanperry miniature gas-liquid booster pump M100. The above two air pumps are both structures for realizing the inflation of the air bag 401 by the air pump 303 in the present application. The principle of the manual air pump is well known to the public, and there is no difficulty that those skilled in the art cannot realize it. Further, after the integral air bag 401 is inflated, its volume begins to expand, the enlarged integral air bag 401 touches the cover body 3 first, and as described in the description of the appended Figure 1As shown, since the cover 3 is locked to the box 1 by a pin or bolt structure, the entire airbag 401 cannot lift the cover 3, but can only press down on the pressing plate 301. Then the pressing plate 301 begins to move down and press the tofu placed inside. Furthermore, both the box 1 and the pressing plate 301 in this application have drainage holes for draining water. Since draining water when making tofu is a well-known fact, its drainage principle will not be described in detail and will not be shown in the attached drawings. Furthermore, after the pressing plate 301 presses down on the tofu and squeezes out its water, the tofu begins to be further compressed into tofu. At this time, the complete tofu can be demolded. If tofu jerky is to be made, air can be pumped in again. Compared with the prior art CN 113632928 A, the demolding time is faster and more convenient than traditional heavy object pressing. After pressing, the air nozzle on the surface of the airbag 401 can be opened to release the air. Furthermore, the airbag 401 is made of silicone, which is a food-grade material and will not pose any pollution or safety hazards. Moreover, this application is only a structural innovation and does not involve material innovation. Example 2

[0019] Because using a single airbag 401 with excessively high inflation and deflation frequency can lead to airbag aging and leakage, once leakage occurs, the entire unit needs to be replaced. To avoid this problem, multiple airbags 401 are used to inflate and deflate simultaneously. The multiple airbags 401 are connected by air tubes 402 to balance bars 302, which will prevent uneven distribution. When a particular airbag 401 leaks frequently, it can be replaced directly to avoid the above problems.

[0020] In use, pour the tofu pudding into the container 1, then cover the receiving part 2 with the lid 3 to form a seal. After covering, start the air pump 303 to inflate the balance bar 302, thereby supplying air to the entire airbag 401 through the air tube 402. After the entire airbag 401 is inflated, it begins to expand in volume. The enlarged entire airbag 401 touches the lid 3 first, as per the instruction manual. Figure 1 As shown, since the cover 3 is locked to the box 1 by a pin structure or bolt structure, the entire airbag 401 cannot lift the cover 3. It can only press down on the pressing plate 301. Then the pressing plate 301 begins to move down and press the tofu pudding placed inside. After the pressing plate 301 presses down and squeezes out the water from the tofu pudding, the tofu pudding begins to be further compressed into tofu. At this time, the complete tofu can be demolded. If you want to make dried tofu, you can continue to pump air.

[0021] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
