Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermented bean curd processing technology, and in particular to a tofu cutting and forming equipment for fermented bean curd processing. Background Technology

[0002] Fermented bean curd, with its delicious taste, high nutritional value, pungent aroma, and uniquely fragrant flavor, is a beloved and enduring delicacy. It is generally categorized into three main types: green, red, and white. Stinky tofu belongs to the "green" category. "Large blocks," "red chili," and "rose" flavors belong to the "red" category. "Sweet and spicy," "osmanthus," and "five-spice" flavors belong to the "white" category. In the industrial production of fermented bean curd, cutting the tofu into blocks is a crucial step.

[0003] Traditional manual cutting methods are not only inefficient, but also produce tofu blocks of uneven size and thickness, affecting the growth of microorganisms and the fermentation process, leading to inconsistent product quality. Furthermore, with the ever-expanding market demand for fermented tofu, traditional methods are no longer sufficient for large-scale production. In addition, manual operation poses hygiene risks, making it difficult to guarantee the safety and standardization of food processing.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a tofu cutting and forming equipment that is efficient, precise, hygienic, and suitable for industrial production. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tofu cutting and forming device for fermented bean curd processing, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art. Traditional manual cutting methods are not only inefficient, but also produce tofu blocks of uneven size and thickness, affecting the growth of microorganisms and the fermentation effect during subsequent fermentation, leading to unstable product quality. Furthermore, with the continuous expansion of the market demand for fermented bean curd, traditional methods are no longer sufficient to meet the requirements of large-scale production. In addition, manual operation also poses hygiene risks, making it difficult to guarantee the safety and standardization of food processing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tofu cutting and forming device for fermented bean curd processing, comprising a base, the base being U-shaped, a material box being movably installed inside the base, a fixing frame being fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base, the fixing frame being U-shaped, a horizontal plate being fixedly installed inside the fixing frame, a cutting component being installed below the horizontal plate, a groove being formed on the upper surface of the base, a grid being fixedly installed inside the groove, the grid being made of metal, the cutting component including a protrusion, a protrusion being fixedly installed on one side of the top of the fixing frame, and brackets being rotatably connected to both sides of the protrusion. The bracket is U-shaped, and a limit block is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the fixed frame. The limit block is U-shaped and movably engages with the bracket. A handle is fixedly installed at the top of the bracket. A fixed shaft is fixedly installed inside the bracket. Two connecting rods are rotatably connected to both sides of the bracket. The two connecting rods are rotatably connected to the two ends of the fixed shaft. Two linkage rods are rotatably connected to the bottom ends of the two connecting rods. A fixed rod is fixedly installed on the side of the two linkage rods that are close to each other. A crossbar is fixedly installed below the fixed rod. Ear blocks are rotatably connected to the side of the bottom ends of the two linkage rods that are close to each other. The ear blocks are fixedly connected to the crossbar.

[0007] The fixed frame has a telescopic rod slidably connected inside, and a collar is fixedly installed on the outside of the telescopic rod. A pull rod is rotatably connected to the side of the collar near the connecting rod. The end of the pull rod away from the collar is rotatably connected to the crossbar. A spring is installed on the lower surface of the collar. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod, and the bottom end of the spring is connected to the crossbar.

[0008] The cross plate has a pressure plate movably installed at its bottom end. The pressure plate is fixedly connected to the slide rod and is movably engaged with the groove. Several blocks are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the pressure plate and are movably engaged with the grid.

[0009] This utility model discloses a tofu cutting and forming device for fermented bean curd processing. The cutting component of the device adopts an innovative structure combining linkage transmission and spring buffer. Through the coordinated operation of components such as protrusions, supports, connecting rods, and linkage rods, the operator only needs to press down on the handle to drive the connecting rods and linkage rods to rotate, thereby driving the crossbar to move downward. The crossbar pulls the collar and telescopic rod through the pull rod, causing the pressure plate to move downward. The tofu is cut using blocks and grids fixed at the bottom of the pressure plate. At the same time, the spring sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod plays a buffering role when the pressure plate presses down, avoiding damage to the tofu structure due to excessive pressure and ensuring that the cut tofu blocks are of regular shape. This design is not only easy to operate, but also achieves fast and uniform cutting, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of the cutting process in fermented bean curd processing. Compared with the traditional manual cutting method, it significantly reduces labor costs and cutting errors. The equipment base adopts a U-shaped design. The design features an internal movable material box for easy removal of tofu; the upper surface of the base has grooves and a fixed metal grid, which can be used with the pressure plate and blocks to complete precise cutting. At the same time, the grid facilitates the cleaning of residual tofu residue, keeping the equipment clean. The combination of the fixing frame and the cutting component allows the entire cutting part to be flexibly disassembled and assembled, facilitating equipment maintenance and upkeep, meeting diverse production requirements, and enabling the equipment to play an excellent role in tofu processing scenarios of different scales and processes.
