Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food freezers, and particularly to a multifunctional intelligent spiral freezer. Background Art

[0002] Food freezing is a common method for preserving food. By reducing the temperature of food below the freezing point, the growth of microorganisms and the activity of enzymes can be inhibited, thereby extending the shelf life of food and maintaining its freshness. Food freezing mainly relies on the principle of lowering the freezing point of water. When the water in food freezes, its volume expands, causing certain damage to food cells. However, rapid freezing can minimize the formation of ice crystals and cell damage, thus maintaining the quality and taste of food. Among them, spiral quick-freezers are widely used in many fields such as food preservation, agricultural product processing, seafood processing, and pharmaceutical processing.

[0003] In the prior art, a multifunctional intelligent spiral freezer generally drives food to move for freezing through a track. However, the side of the food close to the track is prone to uneven freezing, and larger foods may pile up during the freezing process, affecting the circulation of cold air and the cooling effect. Smaller foods may be unevenly frozen due to being arranged too closely. Therefore, a multifunctional intelligent spiral freezer is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the drawbacks existing in the prior art that a multifunctional intelligent spiral freezer generally drives food to move for freezing through a track. However, the side of the food close to the track is prone to uneven freezing, and larger foods may pile up during the freezing process, affecting the circulation of cold air and the cooling effect. Smaller foods may be unevenly frozen due to being arranged too closely, and to propose a multifunctional intelligent spiral freezer.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] Multifunctional intelligent spiral freezer, comprising a freezer frame and a conveyor belt. A flipping mechanism is arranged inside the conveyor belt. The flipping mechanism includes a substrate arranged inside the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is composed of multiple groups of small crawler belts. A first motor is fixedly connected to the side of the substrate. An incomplete gear is arranged at the output end of the first motor. A circular ring plate is arranged on the side of the incomplete gear close to the substrate. There are upper and lower two racks in the middle part of the circular ring plate. A first rack plate is fixedly connected to the upper side of the circular ring plate away from the incomplete gear. A gear is meshed and connected above the first rack plate. A second rack plate is meshed and connected to the side of the gear. A single-point convex rod is fixedly connected to the side of the second rack plate away from the gear. A third rack plate is fixedly connected to the side of the circular ring plate away from the first rack plate. A multi-point convex rod is drivingly connected to the side of the third rack plate away from the circular ring plate. After the first motor is started, the circular ring plate is driven to move by the incomplete gear. The circular ring plate drives the gear to rotate through the first rack plate. The gear drives the single-point convex rod to rise through the second rack plate and drives a group of small crawler belts to rise and flip. When the incomplete gear rotates to mesh with the lower rack of the circular ring plate, the single-point convex rod descends. The circular ring plate drives the multi-point convex rod to rise through the third rack plate by the same principle and drives multiple groups of small crawler belts to rise and flip.

[0007] Among them, the groups of small crawler belts of the conveyor belt are interconnected by elastic nylon belts, so that the groups of small crawler belts can be driven by the flipping mechanism to rise.

[0008] The above technical solution further includes:

[0009] A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the freezer frame. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the substrate. The incomplete gear is rotatably connected to the substrate. The circular ring plate is slidably connected to the substrate. The gear is rotatably connected to the substrate.

[0010] A cooling box is fixedly installed above the freezer frame. The cooling box is arranged above the conveyor belt.

[0011] Among them, the cooling box adopts a spiral quick-freezing machine, uses an external transmission system, imported hydrophilic film aluminum fins and an overall site structure to provide a completely clean freezing environment for frozen products. It adopts excellent components and advanced structures, as well as a blowing system and a fully enclosed arc air guiding channel, which can quickly freeze and reduce drying loss.

[0012] A support plate is slidably connected to the side of the second rack plate. The support plate is fixedly connected to the substrate.

[0013] A gantry plate is fixedly connected to the upper side of the side of the freezer frame. A first camera is arranged below the gantry plate for identifying the volume and type of food.

[0014] On one side of the freezer frame away from the gantry plate, there is a driving box assembly fixedly connected. At the output end of the driving box assembly, there is a rotating roller. The rotating roller is provided with the same set at both ends of the conveyor belt and drives the conveyor belt to rotate.

[0015] On one side of the freezer frame close to the conveyor belt, there is a cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes a second motor arranged on the side of the freezer frame. At the output end of the second motor, there is a threaded rod. On the side of the threaded rod close to the freezer frame, there is a moving plate threadedly connected. On the side of the moving plate, there is a cleaning brush fixedly connected.

[0016] A square groove is opened inside the freezer frame. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the square groove, and the moving plate is slidably connected to the square groove.

[0017] Above one side of the freezer frame close to the square groove, there is a second camera.

[0018] Below one side of the freezer frame close to the square groove, there is a waste residue collection box.

[0019] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. In the present invention, through the innovative design of the flipping mechanism, according to the volume and type of food, the flipping method and angle of the small crawler are adjusted. This intelligent operation not only ensures that the food is evenly frozen during the freezing process, but also avoids the problem of uneven freezing on the side of the food close to the crawler in traditional freezers. Whether it is small-sized food or a large pile of food, it can be properly flipped and cooled, thereby improving the freezing efficiency and food quality.

[0021] 2. In the present invention, the cleaning mechanism can automatically identify and remove stains, residues, and frozen frost on the conveyor belt. Through the image recognition technology of the second camera, the cleaning brush can accurately move to the area that needs to be cleaned, realizing all-round and dead-angle-free deep cleaning. This not only reduces the frequency and cost of manual cleaning, but also extends the service life of the equipment and reduces the maintenance cost.

[0022] 3. In the present invention, it can identify the volume and type of food in real time and automatically adjust the rotation speed of the driving box assembly according to the recognition result, thereby controlling the speed of the conveyor belt. This intelligent control strategy ensures that different types of food can be frozen at the optimal speed, improving the production efficiency and reducing food waste and quality problems caused by improper manual operation.

Specific embodiments

[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] As Figures 1 - 7As shown in the figure, the multi-functional intelligent spiral freezer proposed by the present invention includes a freezer frame 1 and a conveyor belt 2. A flipping mechanism is provided inside the conveyor belt 2. The flipping mechanism includes a substrate 4 provided inside the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is composed of multiple groups of small crawler belts. A first motor 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the substrate 4. The output end of the first motor 5 is provided with an incomplete gear 6. A circular ring plate 7 is provided on the side of the incomplete gear 6 close to the substrate 4. The middle part of the circular ring plate 7 has two racks, one above and one below. A first rack plate 8 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the circular ring plate 7 away from the incomplete gear 6. A gear 9 is meshed and connected above the first rack plate 8. A second rack plate 10 is meshed and connected to the side of the gear 9. A single-point convex rod 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the second rack plate 10 away from the gear 9. A third rack plate 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the circular ring plate 7 away from the first rack plate 8. A multi-point convex rod 14 is drivingly connected to the side of the third rack plate 13 away from the circular ring plate 7. After the first motor 5 is started, the circular ring plate 7 is driven to move through the incomplete gear 6. The circular ring plate 7 drives the gear 9 to rotate through the first rack plate 8. The gear 9 drives the single-point convex rod 11 to rise through the second rack plate 10 and drives a group of small crawler belts to rise and flip. When the incomplete gear 6 rotates to mesh with the lower rack of the circular ring plate 7, the single-point convex rod 11 descends. The circular ring plate 7 drives the multi-point convex rod 14 to rise through the third rack plate 13 in the same principle and drives multiple groups of small crawler belts to rise and flip.

[0034] A connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the freezer frame 1. The connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the substrate 4. The incomplete gear 6 is rotatably connected to the substrate 4. The circular ring plate 7 is slidably connected to the substrate 4. The gear 9 is rotatably connected to the substrate 4.

[0035] A cooling box 12 is fixedly installed above the freezer frame 1. The cooling box 12 is arranged above the conveyor belt 2.

[0036] A support plate 15 is slidably connected to the side of the second rack plate 10. The support plate 15 is fixedly connected to the substrate 4.

[0037] A gantry plate 16 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the side of the freezer frame 1. A first camera 17 is arranged below the gantry plate 16 for identifying the volume and type of food.

[0038] A drive box assembly 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the freezer frame 1 away from the gantry plate 16. A rotating roller 19 is provided at the output end of the drive box assembly 18. The same set of rotating rollers 19 is arranged at both ends of the conveyor belt 2 and drives the conveyor belt 2 to rotate.

[0039] In this embodiment, a connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the freezer frame 1. There are two groups of connecting plates 3 arranged symmetrically. A fixed connection relationship is formed between the freezer frame 1 and the substrate 4 through the two groups of connecting plates 3. The flipping mechanism arranged inside the conveyor belt 2 is started. The first motor 5 fixedly installed on the side of the substrate 4 starts to operate. When the first motor 5 operates, it starts to control the incomplete gear 6 arranged at its output end to rotate. The incomplete gear 6 rotates outside the substrate 4. At this time, the incomplete gear 6 meshes with the upper part of the rack on the ring plate 7. When the incomplete gear 6 rotates, it drives the ring plate 7 to move. When the ring plate 7 moves, it drives the first rack plate 8 fixedly connected to its side to move. The other end of the first rack plate 8 is meshed with the gear 9 above. When the first rack plate 8 moves, it drives the gear 9 to rotate outside the substrate 4. When the gear 9 rotates, it drives the second rack plate 10 meshed with its side to move. The second rack plate 10 moves upward and drives the single-point convex rod 11 fixedly connected to its other side to rise. When the single-point convex rod 11 rises, it drives a group of small crawlers inside the conveyor belt 2 to rise and drives small-volume food to flip. When the incomplete gear 6 rotates until it disengages from the meshing connection with the upper part of the ring plate 7, the incomplete gear 6 starts to mesh with the lower part of the rack on the ring plate 7 and drives the ring plate 7 to move in the opposite direction. The first rack plate 8 moves in the opposite direction and drives the single-point convex rod 11 to descend through the gear 9 and the second rack plate 10. At the same time, the third rack plate 13 at the other end of the ring plate 7 starts to move.

[0040] The third rack plate 13 drives the multi-point convex rod 14 drivingly connected to its other side to rise by the same principle. The multi-point convex rod 14 drives multiple groups of small crawlers to rise and drives large-volume food to flip. Then, the food is frozen by the cooling box 12 arranged above the freezer frame 1 and the conveyor belt 2, ensuring that food of any volume size can be evenly frozen.

[0041] A support plate 15 is slidably connected to the side of the second rack plate 10. When the second rack plate 10 moves up and down, it will be outside the second rack plate 10. The other end of the support plate 15 is fixedly connected to the substrate 4 to ensure the stability of the second rack plate 10 when it rises and falls. When the staff puts food above the conveyor belt 2, a gantry plate 16 is fixedly connected above the freezer frame 1. Two first cameras 17 arranged below the gantry plate 16 start to intelligently identify the food above the conveyor belt 2, and then transmit the collected images to the data processing unit. The data processing unit searches for corresponding information in the database, finds the corresponding freezing temperature and time of the food, and then controls the rotation speed of the drive box assembly 18 fixedly connected to the side of the freezer frame 1, thereby controlling the rotation speed of the rotating roller 19 arranged at the output end of the drive box assembly 18. The rotating roller 19 is arranged inside the conveyor belt 2, and the rotation speed of multiple tracks of the conveyor belt 2 is controlled by the rotating roller 19. The rotation speed of the tracks is to freeze different foods, so as to achieve the effect of intelligent identification and control.

[0042] Embodiment 2

[0043] As Figures 1 - 7 shown, based on Embodiment 1, a cleaning mechanism is arranged on one side of the freezer frame 1 close to the conveyor belt 2. The cleaning mechanism includes a second motor 20 arranged on the side of the freezer frame 1. A threaded rod 22 is arranged at the output end of the second motor 20. A moving plate 23 is threadedly connected to the side of the threaded rod 22 close to the freezer frame 1. A cleaning brush 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the moving plate 23.

[0044] A square groove 21 is formed inside the freezer frame 1. The threaded rod 22 is rotatably connected to the square groove 21, and the moving plate 23 is slidably connected to the square groove 21.

[0045] A second camera 25 is arranged above one side of the freezer frame 1 close to the square groove 21.

[0046] A waste residue collection box 26 is arranged below one side of the freezer frame 1 close to the square groove 21.

[0047] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism arranged on one side of the freezer frame 1 close to the conveyor belt 2 is started, and the second motor 20 fixedly installed on the side of the freezer frame 1 starts to operate. When the second motor 20 operates, it starts to control the threaded rod 22 arranged at its output end to operate. A square groove 21 is formed inside the freezer frame 1, and the other end of the threaded rod 22 rotates on the inner wall of the square groove 21. The threaded rod 22 passes through the inside of the moving plate 23 and rotates to generate spiral power by using the threaded connection relationship. Since the moving plate 23 is slidably connected to the square groove 21, the moving plate 23 will not rotate. At this time, the threaded rod 22 drives the moving plate 23 to move. Through the image recognition of the second camera 25 arranged above the freezer frame 1, different types of stains such as oil stains, material residues, and frost on the conveyor belt, as well as frost generated due to the low-temperature environment, are quickly and accurately recognized. Subsequently, according to the recognition results, the cleaning brush 24 is moved to achieve a full-range and dead-angle-free deep cleaning. The residues after cleaning fall into the waste residue collection box 26 arranged below the freezer frame 1 for centralized treatment.

[0048] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and deformations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present invention.
