Since its refrigerating working principle is a common way for those skilled in the art, it will not be elaborated in detail here. The filter box 4 set facilitates filtering the refrigerated gas through the filter plate 43 after extraction, avoiding the contact between the dust in the air and the materials and affecting the subsequent consumption of the materials. The lifting mechanism 9 set plays a driving role. The dust-proof cover 3 is made of transparent glass material, effectively ensuring the observation of the cooling situation of the materials during cooling.

[0026] Specifically, the side cooling mechanism 5 includes a side intake air pump 51 installed on the side of the filter box 4.

By setting the limit ring 23, a limiting effect is achieved, facilitating the limitation and placement of materials.

[0031] Specifically, the side cooling mechanism 5 further includes a mounting bracket 54 and a fixing piece 55. The bottom of the mounting bracket 54 is fixedly connected to the placement box 1.

During the use of the filter box 4, by setting the air extraction pump 41, an air extraction effect is achieved. By setting the air inlet pipes 42, a gas guiding effect is achieved, facilitating the cooled air in the cooler 6 to enter the filter box 4.

[0033] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 9 includes a connecting piece 91 and a mounting seat 93. The connecting piece 91 is fixed to the side of the placement box 1. The mounting seat 93 is fixed to the side of the dust-proof cover 3. A hydraulic cylinder 92 is installed between the connecting piece 91 and the mounting seat 93.

[0035] The working principle of the present invention: When the device is working, the dust cover 3 is opened by starting the lifting mechanism 9. After opening, the rice cakes are placed on the top of the placement table 2, and then the lifting mechanism 9 is reversely started, so that the lifting mechanism 9 drives the dust cover 3 to move to fit on the top of the placement box 1, thereby achieving the function of dust prevention. When cooling, first start the intake fan 61 to extract the external air into the cooler 6 for cooling. After cooling, start the exhaust pump 41, and then with the cooperation of the intake pipe 42, extract the cooled air in the cooler 6 into the filter plate 43 for filtration. After filtration, the side cooling mechanism 5 is used to cool the side of the material placed at the placement table 2. At the same time, the bottom cooling mechanism 8 is used to cool the bottom of the material. In the use of the side cooling mechanism 5, by starting the side air inlet pump 51, the filtered air in the filter box 4 is extracted to the side air ducts 52, and then sprayed out through the side cooling nozzles 53, thereby achieving the function of cooling the material. In the use of the bottom cooling mechanism 8, by starting the bottom air inlet pump 81, the cold air in the filter box 4 is extracted to the hollow support tube 83 through the bottom air duct 82, and then sprayed out through the shunt tube 84 and the bottom cooling nozzles 85, thereby achieving the function of cooling the bottom of the material. At the same time, the air extraction mechanism 7 is provided to facilitate the extraction of the hot air between the placement box 1 and the dust cover 3, thereby effectively ensuring the cooling effect. In the use of the air extraction mechanism 7, by starting the air extraction pump 71, and then with the cooperation of the annular tube 73 and the extraction pipe 74, the hot air at the bottom of the dust cover 3 is extracted into the cooler 6 for re-cooling, thereby achieving the function of circulating cooling.
