Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food processing technology, and in particular relates to a honey storage tank and its depreciation device. Background Technology

[0002] Honey stored in a cool place when the temperature drops below 14℃ will crystallize naturally, especially rapeseed honey, vitex honey, and lychee honey, which are prone to crystallization. The preservation temperature is 4℃-6℃. For large-scale storage to meet market demand, manufacturers still choose cold storage, with a storage temperature of -25℃ to -18℃. Honey can be stored at this temperature for 2-3 years without spoiling. After crystallization, the honey thaws slowly after being taken out of storage, making it inconvenient to sell or use directly in the market. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a honey storage tank and a depreciation device thereof.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This invention relates to a honey storage container, comprising a storage bucket, the storage bucket including a sealing lid: The storage container has a recessed area on its circumference, and a handle is provided on the recessed area. The storage container also has two recessed rings on its top. The sealing cap fits into the opening of the storage container.

[0005] There are three handles on the storage bucket.

The support frame has two raceways, and the two concave rings of the storage bucket fit into the raceways, which are in an inclined state. The first connector includes a first ring body and a second ring body. Both the first ring body and the second ring body are provided with bearing brackets. The bearing bracket on the first ring body is provided with a bearing cap, and an inner ring rod is provided inside the bearing cap. The bearing bracket on the second ring body is provided with an outer ring sleeve. The inner ring of the bearing is engaged with the inner ring rod, and the outer ring of the bearing is engaged with the outer ring sleeve. The support frame is submerged in water. The first and second rings are respectively fitted with clearances on the same end of two adjacent storage tanks in a row on the support frame. The level of the warm water is at half the height of the storage tank when it is laid flat at the lowest end of the raceway.

[0007] Furthermore, the water temperature is 40℃-50℃.

[0008] Furthermore, a row of support legs is provided below the raceway, with the height of each support leg decreasing progressively from one end of the raceway to the other.

[0009] Furthermore, the support frame is located inside the thawing tank, which has an inlet at one end and an outlet at the other end.

[0010] Furthermore, the thawing tank has a loading and unloading platform at its front end, and the loading and unloading platform is equipped with two slide rails that connect to the roller track.

[0011] Furthermore, the loading and unloading platform has slots, and the slots are detachably fitted with insert plates. The side plates of the thawing tank are higher than the height of the loading and unloading platform.

[0012] Furthermore, a barrel support is provided at the tail end of the defrosting tank. The barrel support is U-shaped and covered with cushioning sponge.

[0013] Furthermore, in another design of the connector, the second connector includes a third ring body and two connecting frames. The connecting frames include an "X"-shaped frame, each end of which is provided with a concave ring, and a universal ball is welded inside the concave ring. The two end faces of the third ring body are provided with annular tracks that mate with the universal ball.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 and 2As shown, the present invention is a honey storage container. The storage container 2 is a plastic container, including the storage container 2 and a sealing lid 1. Honey is placed in the storage container 2. It can be stacked in a cold storage or placed on a shelf in the cold storage. The temperature of the cold storage can be set between -25℃ and -18℃ for long-term storage, thereby supplying the market from winter to early spring.

[0021] The sealing cap 1 fits into the opening of the storage container 2.

[0022] Specifically, the storage bucket 2 has a recessed portion 201 on its circumferential surface, and a handle 203 is provided on the recessed portion 201. Preferably, three handles 203 are provided on the storage bucket 2, with two handles 203 close to each other and the other handle 203 located on the other side, which facilitates the handling by the staff. The height of the storage bucket 2 is 50-80cm and the diameter is 25cm.

[0023] The storage container 2 is equipped with two concave rings 202. The container is mounted on the roller 302 of the support frame 3 via these concave rings 202 to transport the storage container. In addition, during transportation, the honey can be depreciated and crystallized in warm water at 40℃-50℃, so that the honey becomes a semi-transparent viscous liquid with a bright color, which is convenient for subsequent use.

[0024] like Figure 3-11 As shown, a honey storage tank depreciation device is used to decrystallize, i.e., thaw, honey that has crystallized and precipitated in the aforementioned honey storage tank, such as honey being transferred from urban cold storage centers to shops and businesses, especially large milk tea shops and dessert shops.

[0025] The support frame 3 is placed in the thawing tank 4, and the storage buckets 2 are placed in rows on the support frame 3. Warm water is placed in the thawing tank 4. The roller 302 of the support frame 3 is set at an angle, and the storage buckets 2 slowly roll from the top of the support frame 3 to the bottom. The water temperature is used to thaw the crystals precipitated in the storage buckets 2.

[0026] Specifically, the thawing tank 4 is an open rectangular tank with an inlet at one end and an outlet at the other end, through which warm water is transported by a pump and pipes.

[0027] The support frame 3 has two raceways 302. The two concave rings 202 of the storage bucket 2 are fitted into the raceways 302. The cross-section of the raceways 302 and the concave rings 202 is "C" shaped. A row of support legs 301 is provided below the raceways 302. The height of the row of support legs 301 on one end of the raceway 302 gradually decreases from one end to the other, that is, the raceway 302 is in an inclined state.

[0028] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the storage barrels 2 are laid in rows on the roller track 302 of the support frame 3. The storage barrels 2 located at the higher position gradually roll to the lower position and are then taken out from the lower position. In addition, a loading and unloading platform 403 is provided at the higher position of the thawing tank 4. The platform extends outward from the side plates 401 and end plates of the thawing tank 4. That is, the first end of the thawing tank 4 has a loading and unloading platform 403. The loading and unloading platform 403 is provided with two slide rails 402 that connect to the roller track 302. After the storage barrels 2 are placed on the loading and unloading platform 403, they roll along the slide rails 402 onto the roller track 302.

[0029] Preferably, the loading and unloading platform 403 has a slot, and the slot is detachably fitted with an insert plate 404. The insert plate 404 limits the storage bucket 2 placed on the loading and unloading platform 403, and one storage bucket 2 at the end of the defrosting tank 4 is taken out and placed on the loading and unloading platform 403.

[0030] The two side plates 401 of the thawing tank 4 are higher than the loading and unloading platform 403. The rear of the thawing tank 4 is provided with a barrel support 5, which is U-shaped and covered with a cushioning sponge.

[0031] To prevent the storage containers 2 on the roller 302 from touching each other and sliding down the roller 302, thus preventing the sediment above the storage containers 2 from contacting the warm water and hindering the thawing efficiency of the precipitated honey, thereby increasing the thawing time of the precipitated honey, a connector is installed between the two storage containers 2 to maintain a distance between them.

[0032] There are two connector configurations.

[0033] like Figure 5-10 As shown, the first type of connector for the temporarily adjustable storage tank 2 has a thawing tank 4 with a length of 1000cm. There are 16 storage tanks 2 in this row, 15 connectors, and ample space at the front and back. The support frame 3 is submerged in water. Three-quarters of the storage tanks 2 in the row are in contact with warm water. One storage tank 2 is removed every 10 minutes. The level of the warm water is at half the height of the storage tank 2 when it is laid flat at the lowest end of the roller 302. Thawing begins. The storage tank 2 at the highest point is blocked by the insert plate 404 to prevent it from sliding down. After the storage tank 2 at the lowest point is removed, the storage tank 2 at the highest point can be lowered.

[0034] The first connector 6 includes a first ring body 601 and a second ring body 602. Both the first ring body 601 and the second ring body 602 are provided with a bearing bracket 603. The bearing bracket 603 on the first ring body 601 is provided with a bearing cap 606. An inner ring rod 605 is provided inside the bearing cap 606. An outer ring sleeve 604 is provided on the bearing bracket 603 of the second ring body 602. The inner ring of the bearing is engaged with the inner ring rod 605, and the outer ring of the bearing is engaged with the outer ring sleeve 604.

[0035] The first ring 601 and the second ring 602 of two adjacent storage barrels 2 in a row of storage barrels 2 on the support frame 3 are respectively fitted with a gap at the same end. That is, the storage barrels 2 in the row are connected by the first connector 6 at the end. Since the first ring 601 and the second ring 602 are connected by a bearing in the middle, the bearing is a sealed bearing. During actual thawing, the bearing frame 603 between the first ring 601 and the second ring 602 of the two storage barrels 2 will tilt up or dip down. At this time, the storage barrel 2 can be shaken by pulling the handle 201, so that the unthawed crystallized part in the middle of the storage barrel 2 sinks closer to the warm water, increasing the thawing efficiency. The specific time that the storage barrel 2 is in the thawing tank 4 can be adjusted according to the required amount. In practice, it is best to leave a certain amount of unthawed crystallized part in the storage barrel 2 to allow sufficient transportation time for subsequent transportation and ensure the flavor of the honey when it arrives at the store.

[0036] like Figure 11-12 As shown, the storage bins 2 are arranged in the first manner, and the second method of fixed spacing between the two storage bins 2 is used. Specifically, the second connector 7 includes a third ring body 701 and two connecting frames 702. The connecting frame 702 includes an "X" shaped frame 704. Each end of the "X" shaped frame 704 is provided with a concave ring 707. A universal ball 705 is welded inside the concave ring 707. The two end faces of the third ring body 701 are provided with annular channels 703 that cooperate with the universal ball 705. The middle part of the "X" shaped frame 704 is provided with a hole. The middle part of the "X" shaped frame 704 is provided with a limiting tube 706 with a through hole. The height of the two limiting tubes 706 is slightly greater than the thickness of the third ring body 701. The two connecting frames 702 are connected by bolts to prevent the connecting frames 702 from clamping the third ring body 701 when connected by bolts. The third ring body 701 is respectively fitted with the same end of two adjacent storage bins 2 in a row of storage bins 2 in the support frame 3 with clearance.

[0037] As the storage bucket 2 rolls, the resistance between the concave ring 202 and the raceway 302 increases due to the slight deflection, making it more difficult for the storage bucket 2 to roll.

[0038] By clamping the third ring 701 between the two connecting frames 702, the concave ring 707 of the third ring 701 cooperates with the universal ball 705, that is, the end of the connecting frame 702 can slide relative to the third ring 701, reducing the resistance of the third ring 701 to the lowering of the storage bucket 2, making it easier for the storage bucket 2 to roll on the roller 302, thereby ensuring that the surface of the storage bucket 2 is heated by warm water, and improving the efficiency of honey thawing.
