Common poultry cuts mainly come from poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese. Chain thawing uses a chain transmission mechanism to move the items to be thawed in a specific thawing environment. During the movement, the items receive heat transfer from all directions, usually by spraying warm water, blowing hot air, etc. Since the items continue to move at a uniform speed on the chain and the thawing conditions in the entire thawing space are basically the same, they can absorb heat more evenly, thereby achieving thawing.

[0046] Step 2: Connect the bubble tube 1 to an external high-pressure air pump, and use the high-pressure bubbles ejected from the bubble tube 1 to rapidly churn the cold water in the thawing box, so that the churned cold water is in full contact with the poultry cuts;

[0049] Step 5: Repeat steps 1 to 4 to achieve batch thawing of poultry parts.

[0050] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0051] Inject cold water into the cavity of the thawing box, use the conveyor belt to convey the poultry parts that need to be thawed into the cavity of the thawing box, and then stop the conveyor belt; connect the bubble tube 1 to the external high-pressure air pump, and use the high-pressure bubbles sprayed from the bubble tube 1 to make the cold water in the thawing box churn quickly, so that the churned cold water and the poultry parts are in full contact; start the efficiency-enhancing mechanism and the auxiliary spoiler mechanism to improve the churning effect of the cold water and realize the thawing of the poultry parts; after thawing, start the conveyor belt, use the conveyor belt to output the thawed poultry parts, and use the efficiency-enhancing mechanism to push the floating poultry parts to the discharging side, so that the floating poultry parts can be output by the conveyor belt at the same time; repeat the above steps to realize batch thawing of poultry parts;

[0052] The spring forces the rotating shaft to move along the guide rail, and the spring forces the rotating shaft to move along the guide rail, thereby causing the rotating shaft to move along the guide rail. The disc moves so that the driving handle and the blocking column are staggered. At this time, after the high-pressure gas in the support tube enters the translation tube and the air guide plate, part of the high-pressure gas is discharged through the bubble tube two. Due to the small size of the air holes on the bubble tube two, part of the gas that cannot be discharged in time will push the air guide plate and the translation tube to move away from the winding roller, so that the air guide plate is reset. During the resetting of the air guide plate, the telescopic member two can be used to push the lifting plate downward so that the multiple groups of blocking bars are separated from each other. The setting of the multiple groups of blocking bars can further improve the turbulence effect, so that the cold water can fully contact the poultry cuts, and the degree of downward movement of the lifting plate determines the spacing between the multiple groups of blocking bars. When the spacing between the blocking bars is small, the poultry cuts floating on the water surface can be pushed to the discharging side, and the different spacings between the multiple groups of blocking bars can also achieve different turbulence effects, which is convenient for improving the thawing efficiency.

[0053] The present invention avoids the problem that most existing thawing devices are relatively traditional and it is difficult for poultry cuts to fully contact with cold water for thawing, which affects the thawing efficiency. At the same time, a few scattered poultry cuts after thawing will float on the water surface and are difficult to be discharged by the conveyor belt, which has certain limitations.

[0091] The power module comprises:

[0092] A rotating sleeve 28 is rotatably mounted on the thawing box 1, and a rotating shaft 26 is slidably mounted in the rotating sleeve 28, and the rotating shaft 26 rotates with the rotating sleeve 28, and a through hole for the rotating shaft 26 to pass through is opened in the winding roller 11;

[0093] A motor 13 is fixedly installed in the thawing box 1, and the output shaft of the motor 13 is connected to the rotating sleeve 28 via a gear set 19; wherein the gear set 19 is two sets of mutually meshing spur gears;

[0094] A second retaining ring 31, wherein the second retaining ring 31 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 18;

[0095] A retaining ring 29 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 26, wherein a spring 30 is disposed between the retaining ring 29 and the retaining ring 31;

[0096] A turntable 12, wherein the turntable 12 is fixedly mounted on the side of the winding roller 11, and a plurality of groups of blocking posts 25 are also fixedly mounted on the turntable 12;

[0097] A driving handle 27 for pushing the blocking column 25 to move, wherein the driving handle 27 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 26;
