Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pastry production technology, specifically to a pastry production cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] When producing pastries in a food workshop, after the pastries are baked at high temperatures, cooling devices (such as air-cooled devices in cooling tunnels) are needed to quickly cool them down to prevent deformation, surface cracks, or sticking, ensuring that the internal structure and taste of the pastries reach their optimal state. At the same time, rapid cooling can also shorten the time to packaging and cold chain transportation, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire production chain.

[0003] Existing cooling devices can cool pastries during transport by blowing cold air downwards. However, considering that pastries are prone to shifting during transport and are limited by the fixed direction of the air outlet, some pastries that are far from the air outlet may not receive uniform cooling. They may also require cooling after being conveyed out, thus affecting the cooling effect of the equipment. Therefore, a new pastry production cooling device is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pastry production cooling device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing cooling devices have poor cooling effect during use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A pastry production cooling device includes a conveying platform. Electric push rods are fixedly installed at the upper left and upper right positions of the conveying platform. A horizontal top plate is fixedly connected to the movable end of each electric push rod. A uniform air distribution box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal top plate. Side air distribution boxes are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the uniform air distribution box. A first air outlet is connected to the bottom of each uniform air distribution box. A guide pipe is fixedly installed at the upper part of the interior of each side air distribution box. A conical air inlet is connected to the air inlet end of the guide pipe, and a conical air outlet is connected to the air outlet end of the guide pipe. A second air outlet is provided at the lower part of the opposite side of the two side air distribution boxes. A guide strip is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of each uniform air distribution box.

[0007] Preferably, a metal bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying platform, a conveyor belt is provided in the middle of the conveying platform, and the two electric push rods are symmetrically arranged along the vertical central axis of the conveying platform.

[0008] Preferably, the vertical ends of the conveying platform are fixedly connected to the adjustment frames on the top of the metal brackets on both sides. The inner side of the adjustment frame is slidably connected to a vertical slide plate that is fixedly connected to the horizontal top plate. The lower side of one side of the vertical slide plate is fixedly connected to a limiting slider that is slidably connected to the adjustment frame. The connection between the two vertical slide plates and the horizontal top plate forms a "U" shaped structure.

[0009] Preferably, the top surface of the horizontal top plate is provided with a hollow groove structure that connects to the interior of the air distribution box. A limiting mesh cover is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal top plate. A cooling fan is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner side of the limiting mesh cover. The air outlet direction of the cooling fan is directly facing the interior of the air distribution box.

[0010] Preferably, the first air outlet has multiple rows, with the air inlet of one row of the first air outlet facing the gap between the front and rear guide strips, and the air outlet of the first air outlet facing downwards and directly facing the conveyor belt. The guide strips are triangular in shape. The conical air inlet is located inside the air distribution box, and the conical air outlet is located inside the side air box. The air distribution box, the conical air inlet, the guide bend, the conical air outlet, and the side air box form a first-class ventilation duct.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] In this invention, the inclusion of a uniform air distribution box, a vertical slide plate, a first air outlet, a guide strip, a side air distribution box, a guide bend, a conical air inlet, a conical air outlet, and a second air outlet facilitates the cooling of high-temperature pastries during transport. The combined use of a uniform air distribution structure (comprised of the uniform air distribution box, vertical slide plate, first air outlet, and guide strip) and a side-end air outlet structure (comprised of the side air distribution box, guide bend, conical air inlet, conical air outlet, and second air outlet) ensures effective and uniform cooling of the pastries upon arrival at the cooling station. This avoids uneven cooling issues caused by a fixed air outlet direction, reduces the need for secondary cooling, and improves the overall cooling effect of the equipment.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0020] A pastry production cooling device includes a conveying platform 1. Electric push rods 2 are fixedly installed at the upper left and upper right positions of the conveying platform 1. A horizontal top plate 3 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the electric push rods 2. An air distribution box 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal top plate 3. Side air distribution boxes 5 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the air distribution box 4. A first air outlet 6 is connected to the bottom of the air distribution box 4. An air guide bend 10 is fixedly installed at the upper part of the inside of the side air distribution box 5. A conical air inlet 11 is connected to the air inlet end of the air guide bend 10, and a conical air outlet 12 is connected to the air outlet end of the air guide bend 10. A second air outlet 13 is provided at the lower part of the opposite side of the two side air distribution boxes 5. A guide strip 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the air distribution box 4.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a metal bracket 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveyor platform 1. A conveyor belt 17 is located in the middle of the conveyor platform 1. Two electric push rods 2 are symmetrically arranged along the vertical central axis of the conveyor platform 1. During production line operation, this equipment can convey high-temperature pastries via the conveyor belt 17. Adjustable outer frames 15 are fixedly connected to the top of the metal bracket 18 on both sides of the vertical end of the conveyor platform 1. A vertical slide plate 14, which is fixedly connected to the horizontal top plate 3, is slidably connected to the inner side of the adjustable outer frame 15. A limiting slider 16, which is slidably connected to the adjustable outer frame 15, is fixedly connected to the lower side of one side of the vertical slide plate 14. The two vertical slide plates 1... The connection between the horizontal top plate 4 and the horizontal top plate 3 forms a "U" shaped structure. When the electric push rod 2 pushes the horizontal top plate 3 to move up and down, the vertical slide plate 14 and the limiting slider 16 are slidably connected to the adjusting outer frame 15, which can play a certain guiding and auxiliary limiting role. The top surface of the horizontal top plate 3 is provided with a hollow groove structure that is connected to the inside of the uniform air box 4. A limiting mesh cover 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal top plate 3. A cooling fan 8 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner side of the limiting mesh cover 7. The air outlet direction of the cooling fan 8 is directly facing the inside of the uniform air box 4. When the cooling fan 8 starts to generate cold air, the limiting mesh cover 7 will play a screening and protection role from the outside of the fan blade assembly of the cooling fan 8.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first air vent 6 has multiple rows. The air inlet of the first air vent 6 is positioned directly opposite the gap between the front and rear guide strips 9, and the air outlet of the first air vent 6 is positioned downwards directly opposite the conveyor belt 17. The guide strip 9 has a triangular prism structure. The conical air inlet 11 is located inside the air distribution box 4, and the conical air outlet 12 is located inside the side air box 5. The air distribution box 4, the conical air inlet 11, the guide bend 10, the conical air outlet 12, and the side air box 5 form a first-class ventilation duct. When some cold air is carried into the side air box 5 through the interior of the conical air inlet 11, the guide bend 10, and the conical air outlet 12, the cold air will be accelerated to a certain extent during the process of flowing into the side air box 5 due to the gradual narrowing of the air duct.

[0023] Workflow: The electrical energy required for the equipment to start and operate in this utility model comes from an external power source. Before use, the equipment needs to be integrated into the pastry production line. Specifically, after the pastries have completed the previous stage of production, they are conveyed to the equipment at a low speed. During the pastry production process in the food workshop, when the cooling equipment is needed to cool the pastries, before starting the equipment, under the connection constraints of the conveyor platform 1 and the metal bracket 18, the electric push rod 2 is activated to push or pull the horizontal top plate 3 up or down according to the specific height of the pastries to be produced. This adjusts the operating gap between the horizontal top plate 3 and the conveyor belt 17, facilitating the subsequent cooling of pastries of different heights. Then, during the operation of the entire production line, the transmission force generated by the equipment through the conveyor belt 17 cools the pastries of different heights. When the warm pastries are conveyed from back to front, once the high-temperature pastries reach a position directly below the horizontal top plate 3, the equipment activates the cooling fan 8 to generate downward cold air. With the assistance of multiple guide strips 9, part of the cold air is evenly carried downward through the air distribution box 4 and the first air outlet 6, which helps the equipment to uniformly cool the high-temperature pastries from top to bottom. The other part of the cold air first passes through the conical air inlet 11, the air guide bend 10, and the conical air outlet 12 in sequence, where it is accelerated, and then sent into the side air box 5, and then carried out from the second air outlet 13. This allows the equipment to cool the high-temperature pastries from the side to the center, thereby further improving the cooling effect of the equipment when processing high-temperature pastries. Finally, the evenly cooled pastries continue to be conveyed forward to enter the next production process.
