Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a separate vegetable blanching device. Background Technology
[0002] Blanching equipment is an ideal tool for color protection processes in fruit and vegetable processing. It is mainly used for blanching and sterilizing fruits, root vegetables, and fragile products such as carrots, asparagus, mushrooms, and fruit slices. It is an indispensable blanching device for pre-processing such as quick-freezing, dehydration, and freeze-drying. Existing quick-frozen vegetable blanching machines directly send the vegetables to the next process after blanching. However, the internal temperature of quick-frozen vegetables is still high after blanching, making it difficult for operators to remove the vegetables from the inside and reload them. At the same time, blanched vegetables generally have moisture on their surface. Directly carrying them to the next freezing process will cause the surface of the vegetables to freeze, thus requiring moisture control and drying. Existing blanching equipment does not have a moisture control and drying structure. In addition, existing blanching equipment generally inputs hot air from the top or bottom for blanching, which results in poor blanching effect on the inside of piled vegetables. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a separate vegetable blanching device that can quickly cool, control water drying, and achieve good blanching results.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0005] A detachable vegetable blanching device includes a lower fixed frame, an upper blanching tank, a ventilation assembly, a detachable loading mechanism, and a water control and air extraction mechanism. The lower fixed frame is installed on both sides of the lower end of the upper blanching tank. The upper blanching tank has a structure that is closed at the top and sides and open at the bottom. The ventilation assembly is installed inside the upper blanching tank. The ventilation assembly includes a distribution plate, side ventilation pipes, exhaust pipe heads, and a central ventilation hood. The distribution plate is installed inside the upper part of the upper blanching tank. Multiple side ventilation pipes are evenly installed around the lower side of the distribution plate. Multiple exhaust pipe heads are evenly installed from top to bottom on the inner side of the side ventilation pipes. A central ventilation hood is installed in the middle of the lower side of the distribution plate. Ventilation holes are evenly distributed around the central ventilation hood. The detachable loading mechanism includes a sealing plate, floating blocks, a central insertion ring, and an outer isolation ring. The sealing plate is installed between the two lower fixed frames, and a floating block is installed on each side of the sealing plate. The sealing plate rotates. Installed between two floating blocks, the floating blocks slide up and down and engage with the inner side of the lower fixed frame; a central insertion ring is installed in the middle of the upper end of the sealing plate; outer isolation rings are installed around the upper end of the sealing plate; ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the central insertion ring and the outer isolation rings; the central insertion ring and the outer isolation rings form an annular loading groove; the floating block slides upward, driving the sealing plate, the central insertion ring, and the outer isolation rings to move upward, while the sealing plate abuts against the lower perimeter of the upper blanching tank, causing the central insertion ring to insert into the outer perimeter of the central vent, and causing the outer isolation rings to move upward to the inner side of the side vent pipe; the floating block slides downward, driving the sealing plate, the central insertion ring, and the outer isolation rings to move downward, causing the central insertion ring and the outer isolation rings to detach downward from the upper blanching tank; a water control and air intake mechanism is installed on the lower side of the sealing plate, which blows airflow into the annular loading groove.
[0006] Furthermore, the water control and air extraction mechanism includes a blowing pipe, an air extraction box, a suction pipe, and a suction pump; the air extraction box is installed on the lower side of the sealing plate, the suction pipe is connected to the middle of the lower side of the air extraction box, and the suction pump is installed on the suction pipe; multiple blowing pipes are connected around the upper end of the air extraction box, and the upper end of the blowing pipes is fixed to the lower side of the annular loading groove.
[0007] Furthermore, a rotating motor is provided on one side of the sealing plate, the outer side of the rotating motor is connected to the inner side of a floating block, and the inner side of the rotating motor is connected to one side of the sealing plate through a drive shaft. A rotating locking rod is provided on the other side of the sealing plate, and the rotating locking rod is rotatably locked to the inner side of another floating block.
[0008] Furthermore, the two sides of the diversion plate are connected to the inside sides of the upper scalding tank via positioning blocks.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner side of the lower fixed frame is provided with lifting rails, and the floating blocks slide up and down and are engaged with the lifting rails respectively. A lead screw is rotatably connected inside one of the lifting rails, and a lifting motor is connected to the upper end of the lead screw.
[0010] Furthermore, exhaust pipes are provided on both sides of the upper end of the upper scalding tank.
[0011] Furthermore, a hot air flow pipe is provided at the upper end of the diversion plate; the upper end of the hot air flow pipe extends to the outer side of the upper end of the upper scalding tank.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0013] 1. After the vegetables in the annular loading tank of the present invention are blanched, they slide downwards via floating blocks, which in turn move the sealing plate, the central insertion ring, and the outer isolation ring downwards. This causes the central insertion ring and the outer isolation ring to detach from the upper blanching tank, allowing the vegetables in the annular loading tank to be quickly cooled. At the same time, the water control and air blowing mechanism on the lower side of the sealing plate blows air into the annular loading tank, allowing the vegetables in the annular loading tank to be quickly dried. The sealing plate rotates between the two floating blocks, causing the central insertion ring and the outer isolation ring to flip over, allowing the vegetables to be discharged. This achieves rapid cooling, water control, and drying of the blanched vegetables.
[0014] 2. In this invention, vegetables are loaded into an annular loading trough. When the floating block slides upward, it drives the sealing plate, the central insertion ring, and the outer isolation ring to move upward. This causes the sealing plate to abut against the lower perimeter of the upper blanching tank to achieve a seal. The central insertion ring is inserted upward to the outer perimeter of the central vent hood. This allows the hot airflow from the diversion plate to be discharged into the annular loading trough through the central vent hood and the central insertion ring, achieving exhaust from the inside out. At the same time, the outer isolation ring moves upward to the inner side of the side vent pipe, allowing the hot airflow from the diversion plate to be discharged into the annular loading trough through the side vent pipe and the exhaust pipe head, achieving exhaust from the outside in. This greatly increases the blanching effect. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a detachable vegetable blanching device includes a lower fixing frame 1, an upper blanching tank 2, a ventilation component 3, a detachable loading mechanism 4, and a water control and air extraction mechanism 5. The lower fixing frame 1 is installed on both sides of the lower end of the upper blanching tank 2. The upper blanching tank 2 has a structure that is closed at the top and sides and open at the bottom. The ventilation component 3 is installed inside the upper blanching tank 2. The ventilation component 3 includes a diverter plate 31, a side ventilation pipe 32, an exhaust pipe head 33, and a central ventilation hood 34. The diverter plate 31 is installed inside the upper part of the upper blanching tank 2. Multiple side vent pipes 32 are evenly installed around the lower perimeter of the disc 31; multiple exhaust pipe heads 33 are evenly installed from top to bottom on the inner side of the side vent pipes 32; a central vent hood 34 is installed in the middle of the lower side of the distribution disc 31; vent holes are evenly distributed around the central vent hood 34; the separate loading mechanism 4 includes a sealing plate 41, floating blocks 42, a central insertion ring sleeve 43, and an outer isolation ring sleeve 44; the sealing plate 41 is installed between two lower fixed frames 1, and a floating block 42 is installed on each side of the sealing plate 41; the sealing plate 41 is rotatably mounted. Between two floating blocks 42, the floating blocks 42 slide up and down and are engaged with the inner side of the lower fixed frame 1; a central insertion ring 43 is installed in the middle of the upper end of the sealing plate 41; outer isolation rings 44 are installed around the upper end of the sealing plate 41; ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the central insertion ring 43 and the outer isolation rings 44; an annular loading groove 45 is formed between the central insertion ring 43 and the outer isolation rings 44; the floating blocks 42 slide upward, driving the sealing plate 41, the central insertion ring 43, and the outer isolation rings 44 to move upward, while simultaneously causing the sealing plate 41 to move upward. The closing plate 41 abuts against the lower end of the upper scalding tank 2, so that the central insertion ring 43 is inserted into the outer periphery of the central vent 34, and the outer isolation ring 44 moves upward to the inner side of the side vent 32; the floating block 42 slides downward, and drives the closing plate 41, the central insertion ring 43, and the outer isolation ring 44 to move downward, so that the central insertion ring 43 and the outer isolation ring 44 disengage downward from the upper scalding tank 2; a water control and air duct mechanism 5 is installed on the lower side of the closing plate 41, and the water control and air duct mechanism 5 blows airflow into the annular loading trough 45.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in order to control the moisture and dry the separated vegetables, the moisture control and air-guiding mechanism 5 further includes an air-blowing pipe 51, an air-guiding box 52, a suction pipe 53, and a suction pump 54; the air-guiding box 52 is installed on the lower side of the sealing plate 41, the suction pipe 53 is connected to the middle of the lower side of the air-guiding box 52, and the suction pump 54 is installed on the suction pipe 53; multiple air-blowing pipes 51 are connected around the upper end of the air-guiding box 52, and the upper end of the air-blowing pipes 51 is fixed to the lower side of the annular loading groove 45.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in order to rotate and tilt the discharging material from the separate loading mechanism 4, a rotating motor 6 is further provided on one side of the closed plate 41. The outer side of the rotating motor 6 is connected to the inner side of a floating block 42, and the inner side of the rotating motor 6 is connected to one side of the closed plate 41 via a drive shaft 61. A rotating locking rod 411 is provided on the other side of the closed plate 41, and the rotating locking rod 411 is rotatably locked to the inner side of another floating block 42. Furthermore, the two sides of the diversion plate 31 are connected to the inner sides of the upper blanching tank 2 via positioning blocks 311.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in order to drive the entire separate loading mechanism 4 up and down, the inner side of the lower fixed frame 1 is further provided with lifting rails 11, and the floating blocks 42 are respectively slidably engaged with the lifting rails 11. A lead screw 7 is rotatably connected inside one of the lifting rails 11, and the upper end of the lead screw 7 is connected to a lifting motor 8. Furthermore, exhaust pipes 21 are respectively provided on both sides of the upper end of the upper blanching tank 2. Furthermore, a hot air flow pipe 311 is provided at the upper end of the diverter plate 31; the upper end of the hot air flow pipe 311 extends to the outer side of the upper end of the upper blanching tank 2.
[0025] After the vegetables in the annular loading trough 45 of the present invention are blanched, they slide downwards via the floating block 42, which in turn moves the sealing plate 41, the central insertion ring 43, and the outer isolation ring 44 downwards. This causes the central insertion ring 43 and the outer isolation ring 44 to detach from the upper blanching tank 2, allowing the vegetables in the annular loading trough 45 to be quickly cooled. At the same time, the water control and air blowing mechanism 5 on the lower side of the sealing plate 41 blows air into the annular loading trough 45, allowing the vegetables in the annular loading trough 45 to be quickly dried. As the sealing plate 41 rotates between the two floating blocks 42, the central insertion ring 43 and the outer isolation ring 44 are flipped, causing the vegetables to be discharged. This achieves rapid cooling, water control, and drying of the blanched vegetables.
[0026] This invention loads vegetables into an annular loading trough 45. When the floating block 42 slides upward, it drives the sealing plate 41, the central insertion ring 43, and the outer isolation ring 44 to move upward. This causes the sealing plate 41 to abut against the lower end of the upper blanching tank 2 to achieve a seal. The central insertion ring 43 is inserted upward to the outer periphery of the central vent 34. This allows the hot airflow from the diverter 31 to be discharged into the annular loading trough 45 through the central vent 34 and the central insertion ring 43, achieving exhaust from the inside out. At the same time, the outer isolation ring 44 moves upward to the inner side of the side vent pipe 32. The hot airflow from the diverter 31 can also be discharged into the annular loading trough 45 through the side vent pipe 32 and the exhaust pipe head 33, achieving exhaust from the outside in. This greatly increases the blanching effect.
[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
