Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a food cold channel chain tray mechanism that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cold aisles in the food production industry typically use drive chains to support and transport food trays. In order to facilitate the guidance and protection of the chain's movement, chain support mechanisms are often further installed inside the cold aisle support.

[0003] Common chain support mechanisms in the prior art typically include an upper support bar, an upper support bar fixing groove, a lower support bar, a lower support bar fixing groove, and an arc-shaped sprocket cover integrally connected to the upper and lower support bars. The upper and lower support bar fixing grooves are fixed to the cooling track support, while the upper and lower support bars are used to support the upper and lower chain segments of the drive chain, respectively. Each of them is provided with a T-shaped groove for one side of the chain link to be inserted, thereby playing a guiding and protective role. The sprocket cover is usually set at the sprocket to protect the sprocket.

[0004] In actual production, the inner side of the sprocket cover and the bottom surface of the upper and lower support bar fixing grooves of the chain guide mechanism often accumulate oil and dust after a period of use. To prevent food contamination and for food safety and hygiene reasons, it is necessary to clean them regularly. However, the existing chain guide mechanism has the following problems exposed during cleaning:

[0005] 1. Since the sprocket cover is integrated with the upper and lower support bars and cannot be disassembled, it is difficult to clean the dust and oil that accumulate inside. It often requires disassembling the sprocket cover along with the upper and lower support bars, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0006] 2. The gaps inside the upper and lower support strip fixing grooves are already small. In addition, the need to install support blocks to support the template further reduces the gaps inside the fixing grooves, making it difficult to clean the inner bottom surface. After rinsing with water, the sewage is often difficult to drain, which in turn leads to the accumulation of dirt. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient and easy-to-clean food cooling channel chain tray mechanism.

[0008] The technical solution of this utility model is: a convenient and easy-to-clean food cooling channel chain support mechanism, including an upper support bar fixing groove and a lower support bar fixing groove fixed to a cooling channel support, as well as an upper support bar fixed to the upper part of the upper support bar fixing groove and a lower support bar fixed to the upper part of the lower support bar fixing groove. Both the upper support bar and the lower support bar are provided with T-shaped grooves for embedding the chain. It also includes a sprocket cover provided between the upper support bar and the lower support bar for covering the sprocket. The sprocket is rotatably mounted on a sprocket seat, and the sprocket seat is fixed to the cooling channel support. The sprocket cover is separately provided from the upper support bar and the lower support bar, and it is detachably connected to the sprocket seat by a connector. At the same time, several drainage holes are provided on the bottom surface of both the upper support bar fixing groove and the lower support bar fixing groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the sprocket cover described in this utility model includes a baffle and a semi-circular arc cover plate fixed on the baffle for covering the chain fitted on the outside of the sprocket. The baffle is located between the sprocket and the sprocket seat, and has a U-shaped opening in its middle to avoid the sprocket's shaft. A connecting lug is fixed on the baffle, and the connecting lug has a connecting hole for inserting screws or bolts to fix it to the sprocket seat.

[0010] Furthermore, the chain described in this utility model includes chain links, on which support columns for supporting and holding food templates are fixed, and support blocks that abut against the bottom of the template are fixed in both the upper support strip fixing groove and the lower support strip fixing groove.
