Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of meat processing, in particular to a rapid thawing device for processing braised chicken. Background Art

[0002] Braised chicken is also known as five-spice boneless braised chicken. Braised chicken is a traditional delicacy in Shandong Province, China, and a classic Shandong cuisine. The braised chicken making technique is a national intangible cultural heritage. The ingredients include chicken, amomum villosum, cloves, and jade fruit. Dezhou braised chicken is characterized by good shape and color, five-spice boneless, tender meat, pure taste, light and elegant, tastes through the bone marrow, and is fresh and nourishing. In terms of shape, the two legs are coiled, the claws are in the chicken's chest, and the two wings cross from the mouth through the neck. The whole chicken is lying down, with a golden color and red in the yellow. From a distance, it looks like a duck floating on the water, with feathers in its mouth. It is very beautiful and is a top-notch food art treasure.

[0003] Braised chicken refers to the production process of braised chicken, which is based on the cooking process of braised pork elbow and braised beef, with braised as the main method. Braised is one of the main cooking techniques in my country. The production process of braised is relatively complicated, and generally requires more than two types of heating treatment. First, boil the raw materials in boiling water to remove blood and dirt, then coat them with sauce and fry them in an oil pan. The latter is to cook with onion and ginger, add seasoning and broth, add the raw materials and boil over high heat, simmer over medium and low heat, then gather the starch and pour into the plate. Large-scale production of braised chicken in factories generally requires the slaughtered chickens to be frozen and stored first, and then thawed after being transported to the factory before being put into production.

[0004] The equipment currently used for fast thawing of large meat can adopt methods such as soaking in water for thawing, idling for slow thawing or microwave thawing. Among them, thawing frozen meat by flowing water in a device with a large water tank is a common and more efficient thawing method. The existing thawing equipment is generally equipped with a water tank, and the thawing water has the effect of circulation and self-heating. However, in the existing equipment, pouring a large amount of frozen meat at the same time will cause the frozen meat to stack together. Although the water can flow, the relative position between the frozen meat remains basically stable, and the contact surface between the frozen meat cannot produce effective heat exchange with the water flow, resulting in low thawing efficiency. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] A plurality of feed guide bars 7 with sloped surfaces are arranged at one end of the water tank 2, and the feed guide bars 7 are arranged in parallel. A discharge structure 5 is arranged at one end of the water tank 2 away from the feed guide bars 7, and the discharge structure 5 is used to receive the thawed chicken output by the transmission structure 6 and send the chicken out;

[0032] A water circulation structure 4 is provided on one side of the thawing pool 1, and the water circulation structure 4 is used to filter and heat the water in the thawing pool 1; a bubble generating structure 3 is provided on the thawing pool 1, and the bubble generating structure 3 is used to generate bubbles in the water.

[0033] A large amount of temperature-stable water is placed in the thawing pool 1 of the device. The internal water tank 2 is used to thaw the frozen chicken. A transmission structure 6 is provided in the water tank 2. The frozen chicken is put in from the feed guide 7 and slowly transmitted to the other end through the transmission structure 6. While moving, the water flow continuously exchanges heat with the frozen chicken to thaw it. Finally, the thawed chicken enters the discharging structure 5 and is discharged through the discharging structure 5.

[0034] The transmission structure 6 of the device uses a plurality of transmission racks 65 located at the same height and staggered in position. The transmission rack 65 is composed of a large number of parallel support frames 651. The support frames 651 are generally fan-shaped structures, and the side where one radius is located forms a horizontal surface. Every two adjacent transmission racks 65 are in a state where one of them remains horizontal and the other is tilted upward. The chicken falls on the inclined surface of the support rack and rolls to one side. The adjustment plate 61 translates, and the height of the corresponding adjustment shaft 652 is changed by the movement of the wave-shaped adjustment groove 611, so that the angle of the transmission rack 65 changes. The transmission rack 65 at the position of the chicken is raised again, pushing the chicken to continue to move, and realizing the transmission of the chicken. While the device can effectively transmit, it can also push the chicken to roll in the water tank 2. At the same time, the relative height relationship between the chickens located at different vertical positions is constantly changing, so that the chickens have continuous position changes, so that the problem of the surfaces of the chickens that are in contact with each other cannot be quickly frozen can be effectively avoided, and the contact frequency between water and chickens is improved as a whole, and the thawing efficiency is improved.

[0035] The device can significantly improve the thawing efficiency and shorten the thawing time. At the same time, since the time the frozen chicken is immersed in water is shortened, the problem of increased water content in the chicken caused by the thawing process can also be reduced, thereby improving the quality and taste of the final braised chicken.

The installation box 23 is used to place the driver 62, and the driver 62 drives the external turntable 63 to rotate, so that the rocker 64 pulls the adjustment plate 61 to move back and forth. The driver 62 can use a bidirectionally drivable motor, or a motor can use gears or other methods to drive the shaft that penetrates the installation box 23, thereby driving the turntable 63 to rotate. The turntable 63 and the rocker 64 are not restrictive structures, and other types of telescopic structures, such as a grooved wheel structure or a hydraulic rod with a telescopic effect, can achieve similar effects.

[0038] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3and Figure 7 The discharging structure 5 includes a gantry 55 fixedly mounted outside the thawing tank 1, a crossbar 51 is slidably mounted on the gantry 55, and ropes 53 are mounted at both ends of the crossbar 51.

The end of the filter frame 54 away from the feed guide bar 7 is provided with a movable side plate 541. The gantry 55 is used to control the lifting and lowering of the filter frame 54. The filter frame 54 itself is hollow and is located below the surface of the transmission frame 65. The transmission frame 65 transmits the chicken to the filter frame 54 and falls into the filter frame 54. After a certain amount of chicken is accumulated, the filter frame 54 is lifted up to pour out the chicken inside. The side plate 541 can be opened to facilitate pouring out the chicken inside. The rope 53 is used to suspend the filter frame 54, and the lifting and lowering of the crossbar 51 controls the lifting and lowering of the filter frame 54.

The mounting grooves 551 are used to install the lifting screw 56. The rotation of the lifting screw 56 drives the lifting and lowering of the threaded barrel 52 and controls the lifting and lowering of the cross bar 51.

[0040] See also Figure 7 The gantry 55 is internally rotatably mounted with a transmission shaft 57, and both ends of the transmission shaft 57 are connected to the lifting screw 56 through bevel gears 59, and a lifting motor 58 is installed on the gantry 55, and the lifting motor 58 is connected to the transmission shaft 57. The lifting motor 58 synchronously drives the lifting screws 56 on both sides through the transmission shaft 57 and the bevel gear 59. The use of the lifting screw 56 in conjunction with the threaded barrel 52 to control the lifting of the filter frame 54 is only a demonstration of an available structure and is not restrictive. The same effect can be achieved by using a hydraulic rod or a winding structure.

The push plate 71 is pulled by the telescopic rod 72, and the frozen meat is placed on the feed guide bar 7, and the push plate 71 is pushed down the slope for feeding. The telescopic rod 72 can use a hydraulic rod or an electric push rod, etc., and can also use a scissor structure or other structures that can achieve telescopic function.

[0044] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0045] In the present device, a long water tank 2 is placed in the thawing pool 1, and a transmission structure 6 is arranged in the water tank 2. The transmission structure 6 is composed of a plurality of transmission racks 65 connected to each other in an interlaced manner. The transmission rack 65 uses a plurality of parallel fan-shaped support frames 651. One end of the support frame 651 located at the center of the circle is installed in a fixed position through a support shaft 653, and the other end can be adjusted in height through an adjustment shaft 652. Therefore, the support frame 651 can form a horizontal plane on the surface, and can also form a slope surface by raising the adjustment shaft 652. The transmission rack 65 is in a staggered form, half of which is in a horizontal state and the other half is in an inclined state. By constantly changing the angle of each transmission rack 65, the frozen chicken can be transmitted. At the same time, due to the change in height, the frozen chicken can also roll, and the relative height position between each frozen chicken changes continuously, so as to avoid the existence of a surface on each frozen chicken that is always adhered to other frozen chickens, so that the water flow can be in more sufficient contact with the frozen chicken, thereby improving the thawing efficiency.

[0046] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
