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.

[0030] When implementing: Figure 1-7 As shown, a bagged jelly cooling device comprises a water tank 1, a circulating water supply system 6 in the water tank, and a chain conveyor 2, wherein the recessed part of the chain conveyor 2 is arranged inside the water tank 1, the chain conveyor 2 is arched at the inlet position of the water tank 1, presenting a hump shape, and extending in a direction away from the inlet, and the chain conveyor 2 gradually rises and extends in the outlet direction at the outlet position of the water tank 1; the chain conveyor 2 circulates back from the bottom of the water tank 1; partitions 4 are equidistantly installed on the perforated chain plates 3 of the chain conveyor 2; the circulating water supply system 6 in the water tank comprises a cold water tank, a water supply pipe, a return water pipe, a water supply pump, and a return water pump, the cold water tank, and the water supply pipe are all connected to the cold water tank and the water tank 1, the water supply pump provides power for the water supply pipe, and pumps the water in the cold water tank into the water tank 1, and the return water pump provides power for the return water pipe, and pumps the water in the water tank 1 back to the cold water tank for cooling.

[0031] In the above, a section of the chain conveyor 2 in the water tank 1 is sunk into the water tank 1, and the parts at both ends of the water tank 1 are arched and raised respectively to form water isolation and drainage, so that the two ends of the chain conveyor 2 can extend to the sterilization equipment and the packing workshop respectively.

[0032] In addition, considering that when there are more jellies, they will pile up together, affecting the heat dissipation effect of the internal jellies, for this reason, the device also includes a surge device 5, which uses the surge device 5 to make the jellies piled on the conveying structure surge, so as to prevent uneven cooling and low cooling efficiency due to accumulation. Specifically: the surge device 5 includes a spring telescopic tube 52 equidistantly installed at the bottom of the water tank 1, a water supply device, and a water distribution pipe 53 equidistantly installed on the chain conveyor 2, the water distribution pipe 53 is between every two adjacent partitions 4, and a plurality of water outlets are arranged on the water distribution pipe 53, the water outlets face upward, and the bottom of the water distribution pipe 53 is connected to a water inlet pipe 531, the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 531 passes through the chain conveyor 2 and is connected to a docking port 1 54, and the outlet end of the spring telescopic tube 52 is connected to a docking port 2 56, the water supply device supplies water to the spring telescopic tube 52, and when the docking port 2 56 is docked with the docking port 1 54, water is discharged from the water supply device, the spring telescopic tube 52 and the water distribution pipe 53 in sequence;

[0033] That is, as the chain conveyor 1 moves, the docking interface 1 54 on the chain conveyor 2 will follow its movement. When the docking interface 1 54 approaches the docking interface 2 56, it will gradually come into contact with the docking interface 2 56 and exert downward pressure on the docking interface 2 56, causing the outlet end of the docking interface 2 56 to drop (here the movement speed of the chain conveyor 2 is slow, and the docking interface 2 56 and the docking interface 1 54 are slowly in contact, so there will be no instantaneous collision between the two and the inability to dock). When the outlet end of the docking interface 2 56 is When the inlet end of docking interface 1 54 corresponds to each other, the inlet end of docking interface 1 54 will not squeeze the outlet end of docking interface 2 56, and docking interface 2 56 will rebound due to the reaction force and be inserted into docking interface 1 54. At this time, the water entering the spring telescopic tube 52 will enter docking interface 1 54 through docking interface 2 56, and then enter the water distribution pipe 53, and be ejected from the water outlet of the water distribution pipe 53, which will impact the accumulated jelly, causing the jelly to float and disperse, thereby accelerating the water cooling of the jelly.

[0034] In the above description, in order to allow the docking interface 1 54 to smoothly press the docking interface 2 56 downward, the docking interface 2 56 and the docking interface 1 54 are both conical in shape, and the size of the docking interface 2 56 is smaller than that of the docking interface 1 54, and the diameter difference between the upper and lower ends of the docking interface 2 56 is smaller than the diameter difference between the upper and lower ends of the docking interface 1 54, that is, the inlet end of the docking interface 1 54 is larger than the outlet end of the docking interface 2 56 to ensure that the outlet end of the docking interface 2 56 can be wrapped. Due to the shape, when the outlet end of the docking interface 2 56 enters the docking interface 1 54, the outer edge of the outlet end of the docking interface 2 56 will fit with the inner wall of the docking interface 1 54 to form a docking connection.

[0035] In addition, since the chain conveyor 2 is arched toward the inlet of the water trough 1, there will be a downhill journey when gradually entering the water trough 1, which will cause the jelly to accumulate between two adjacent partitions 4 and near the corner in the outlet direction. Therefore, the water distribution pipe 53 is close to the partition 4 located in the outlet direction of the water trough 1 among every two adjacent partitions 4, that is, the water distribution pipe 53 is close to the above-mentioned corner.

[0036] In addition, in order to allow the docking interface 1 54 to quickly press the docking interface 2 56 downward, a sliding aid structure is provided on the side of the docking interface 2 56 close to the docking interface 1 54. The sliding aid structure can reduce the resistance of the outer wall of the docking interface 2 56 facing the docking interface 1 54. Specifically, the sliding aid structure includes a recessed groove 7 opened on the side of the docking interface 2 56 close to the docking interface 1 54, and bearings 8 are installed equidistantly on both sides of the inner side of the recessed groove 7. A round roller 9 is installed between the two bearings 8 on the same level. That is, when the bottom of the docking interface 1 54 contacts the outer side surface of the docking interface 2 56, it will contact the round roller 9. As the docking interface 1 54 moves forward, it will gradually contact several round rollers 9, using rolling instead of sliding to reduce resistance.

[0037] In this device, the chain conveyor 2 includes two chains, and the two ends of a plurality of perforated chain plates 3 are respectively connected to the two chain pins, and two adjacent perforated chain plates 3 are hinged. Since the perforated chain plates 3 are hinged to each other, a hinge seam will appear at the hinge of the two perforated chain plates 3 during non-linear motion. In order to prevent the jelly from being clamped by the hinge seam, an elastic pad net 31 is laid on the outer surface of the plurality of perforated chain plates 3, and the elastic pad net 31 is used to cover the hinge seam.

[0038] In addition, in this device, the water supply device is divided into two types:

[0039] Method 1: The water supply device is a high-pressure water pump 51 connected to a spring telescopic tube 52 . The high-pressure water pump 51 is located in the water tank 1 , that is, the high-pressure water pump 51 is used to directly pump water in the water tank 1 into the spring telescopic tube 52 .

[0040] Method 2: The water supply device is a spring telescopic tube 52, and an interface valve 521 is installed at the bottom of the outer wall. The interface valve 521 is connected to the outlet end of the water supply pipe of the circulating water supply system 6 in the water tank, that is, the spring telescopic tube 52 always discharges water. When the docking interface 54 is not reached, the spring telescopic tube 52 is used to continuously supply water to the water tank 1.

[0041] In addition, the spring telescopic tube 52 of the device includes an outer tube 522, an inner tube 523 connected to the outer tube 522 by a sliding sleeve, and a spring 524 sleeved on the outside of the inner tube 523. The top of the inner tube 523 has a flared end 525, and the flared end 525 is connected to the docking port 2 56. The upper and lower ends of the spring 524 are respectively connected to the bottom of the flared end 525 and the top of the outer tube 522, that is, when the docking port 2 56 is pressurized, the inner tube 523 will slide into the outer tube 522, and the height of the entire spring telescopic tube 52 will be reduced. Once the docking port 2 56 loses pressure, the spring 524 will cause the inner tube 523 to rebound.

[0042] In the above, the inlet end of the inner tube 523 in the outer tube 522 is connected to the flared tube 526, and the outer wall of the flared tube 526 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the outer tube 522. The flared tube 526 is added to allow the water in the outer tube 522 to smoothly enter the inner tube 523.

[0043] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
