Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a mold box in which soybean soup is added together with bittern and a coagulant, filtered, and solidified into tofu.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, a mold box for forming tofu has a side frame plate having large punch holes, a bottom plate, and a pressing plate, and the bottom plate is placed on the inner bottom of the side frame plate. After the filter cloth is applied to the inner circumference, the soybean soup and the coagulant are added and filled, and the pressing plate wrapped with the filter cloth is pressed down to filter and coagulate the tofu.

However, since the filter cloth is used, preparation is troublesome and automation cannot be achieved, and since the filter cloth needs to be washed, the tofu molding has a problem that it is troublesome.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, the present invention provides a mold box capable of smoothly and promptly molding tofu by automating without using a filter cloth.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 For this reason, the present invention comprises a side frame plate, a draining bottom plate, and a pressing plate, and in the one in which the soybean soup is input and filtered to be solidified into tofu, a slender plate whose upper surface is a flat surface can be finely filtered with water. A large number of elongated micropores are formed in parallel on the upper surface with a gap, and a draining bottom plate in which the bottom opening width of the elongated microhole is wider than the minute gap in the upper surface and an elongated plate whose bottom surface is flat A large number of elongated micropores are formed in parallel on the lower surface with a minute gap that can be filtered, and a pressing plate in which the upper surface opening width of the elongated micropore is made wider than the minute gap on the lower surface. It is appropriate that the width of the elongated holes on the filtering surface side of the draining bottom plate and the pressing plate is 0.1 to 0.5 mm, and the interval between the elongated holes on the upper surface or the lower surface to be the filtering surface is 2 to 5 mm. The optimum range is that the width of the elongated holes on the filtering surface side is 0.3 to 0.5 mm.

[0006]

[Action]

 After arranging the draining bottom plate on the inner bottom of the side frame plate, fill the soybean soup and the coagulant without covering the filter cloth, and gradually press down the pressing plate to filter through the many elongated fine holes, and then inside the mold box. The tofu is molded into. At this time, the width of the opening surface of the elongated hole on the drainage side is wider than the opening surface of the elongated hole on the upper surface of the draining bottom plate or the lower surface of the push plate, which is the filtering surface, so that draining can be drained smoothly and clogging is prevented. Is done.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the illustrated embodiments of the present invention will be described. In the present example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a non-perforated side frame plate made of stainless steel, in which upper and lower flanges 11 and 12 are projectingly provided, and a mounting material 13 is fixed to an inner bottom. .

Reference numeral 2 denotes a draining bottom plate, in which a plurality of elongated stainless steel plates 21 having a length of 40 mm and an inverted trapezoidal cross section having a width of 2 mm on the upper surface and a width of 1.5 mm on the lower surface are arranged in parallel with a minute gap of 0.5 mm. The lower surface thereof is welded to the connecting square member 22 to be integrated. As a result, a large number of elongated pores 20 are formed, and the elongated pores have a width of 0.5 mm and are opened on the upper surface at intervals of 2 mm.

Reference numeral 3 is a push plate, and a plurality of 40 cm-long stainless steel elongated plates 31 having a trapezoidal cross section having a width of 2 mm on the lower surface and a width of 1.5 mm on the upper surface are arranged in parallel with a minute gap of 0.5 mm. The upper surface is welded to the connecting square member 32 to be integrated. As a result, a large number of elongated micropores 30 are formed, and the width of the elongated micropores is 0.5 mm, which are opened on the lower surface at intervals of 2 mm. That is, the push plate 3 and the draining bottom plate 2 have the same structure and are arranged to face each other.

Next, the operation of this example will be described. The bottom plate 2 is placed on the placing member 13 of the side frame plate 1, the coagulant and the soybean soup are filled, and the push plate 3 is closed to gradually push down. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the tofu is coagulated between the bottom plate 2 and the pressing plate 3 by being filtered through the elongated holes 20 of the bottom plate 2 and also through the elongated holes 30 of the pressing plate 3. It is formed.

In this example, since the solid content which becomes tofu is not filtered due to the fine elongated holes 20 and 30 having a width of 0.5 mm on the filtering surface side, a filter cloth is not required. On the drainage side opposite to the filtration side, the width of the elongated holes 20 and 30 is as wide as 1 mm, so that the filtered water can be discharged smoothly and clogging is prevented. Further, the bottom plate 2 and the push plate 3 can be easily washed by washing with water.

Although the present example is configured as described above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the shapes of the side frame plate, the drainage bottom plate and the push plate are not limited, and the shapes, lengths, and parallel intervals of the elongated plates which are the materials of the drainage bottom plate and the push plate are not limited. It may be formed as shown in FIGS. Alternatively, the draining bottom plate and the pressing plate may be formed in a state in which the elongated plates are wound at a minute interval, or they may be integrally formed by punching.

Therefore, the width and spacing of a large number of elongated micropores are also appropriate, but depending on the type of tofu, the width of the elongated holes on the filtering surface side is 0.1 to 0.5 mm, and the spacing of the elongated holes on the filtering surface side is set to 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm. It should be adjusted between 2 and 5 mm.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, since the solid content that becomes tofu is not filtered due to the filtering action by the minute and fine pores, the filter cloth becomes unnecessary, and the trouble of installing a troublesome filter cloth and cleaning can be greatly reduced. Since the width of the elongated pores on the drain side opposite to the surface side is wide, the filtered water can be discharged smoothly and clogging can be prevented. Further, according to the second aspect of the present invention, the filtration can be carried out smoothly and quickly.
