Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical nutritional food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a medical nutritional food processing and shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] Medical nutritional foods, designed specifically for individuals with unique physiological needs, have stringent requirements regarding shaping effectiveness, hygiene and safety, and processing efficiency during processing. Currently, in existing medical nutritional food processing procedures, shaping and sterilization are typically separate processes requiring different equipment. This not only leads to cumbersome processing and large equipment footprints but also poses a risk of secondary contamination during material transfer.

[0003] Meanwhile, traditional shaping equipment often uses unidirectional air blowing or fixed temperature treatment, which results in uneven temperature distribution and inconsistent material shaping effects, affecting the appearance and quality stability of the product. In the sterilization process, there is a lack of effective heat preservation and isolation structure, which makes sterilization energy easy to be lost, resulting in poor sterilization effect. In addition, the collection of processed materials requires additional manual operation, which further reduces processing efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, there is a need for an integrated medical nutrition food processing and shaping device that offers uniform shaping, reliable sterilization, and convenient collection. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a medical nutrition food processing and shaping device that integrates the shaping, sterilization, and collection processes to improve processing efficiency; ensures material shaping uniformity by optimizing the shaping structure design; enhances the sealing and stability of the sterilization environment to ensure sterilization effect; and simplifies the collection process to reduce labor costs and the risk of secondary contamination.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A medical nutritional food processing and shaping device includes a shaping structure, a sterilization structure, a collection structure, and a conveying structure. These structures work together to complete the shaping, sterilization, and collection processes of the medical nutritional food. The specific structure is as follows:

[0008] Standardized structure

[0009] The shaping structure is used to achieve temperature shaping of medical nutritional foods, including an operating chamber, a hot air blower, a cold air blower, a conveying pipe, a supplementary light, and a conversion component.

[0010] The operating chamber is a rectangular structure made of high-temperature resistant material, with an open bottom for easy integration with the collection structure. A hot air blower and a cold air blower are fixedly installed at the top of the operating chamber. The hot air blower provides the hot air required for shaping, and the cold air blower provides the cold air required for cooling shaping. Both of their output ends are connected to conveying pipes, and the ends of the conveying pipes away from the hot air blower and the cold air blower extend into the interior of the operating chamber to deliver the air source. An observation window is provided on one side of the operating chamber for observing the food shaping process.

[0011] Supplemental lights are installed on the inner wall of the operating chamber to illuminate the interior of the operating chamber, making it easier for operators to observe the state of the material during the shaping process.

[0012] The switching component is located inside the operating chamber and is used to switch between hot and cold air supply. It includes a rotating shaft, a connecting frame, an air concentrator, an air outlet, a rotating pipe, and a motor. The rotating shaft is placed parallel inside the operating chamber, and both ends of the rotating shaft extend out of the side walls of the operating chamber. The motor is fixedly installed on one side of the operating chamber, and its power output end is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0013] Both sides of the rotating shaft are fixedly connected to connecting frames, which adopt a U-shaped design, with their open ends fixedly connected to the shaft body. Rotating tubes are rotatably fitted onto the sides of the two connecting frames away from their open ends. Air-concentrating hoods are fixedly installed on the sides of the rotating tubes. One end of each air-concentrating hood is sealed and connected to the end of each of the two conveying pipes that extend into the operating chamber, ensuring a stable supply of air to the air-concentrating hoods. Air outlets are located on the bottom side of the air-concentrating hoods, with multiple outlets evenly distributed in an array at the bottom, allowing the air source to be evenly directed towards the material below, ensuring consistent shaping results.

[0014] Sterilization structure

[0015] The sterilization structure is used to sterilize the shaped medical nutritional food. It includes two operating chambers, which are fixedly installed at both ends of the operating chamber and connected to the interior of the operating chamber to form a continuous processing channel.

[0016] A sterilization lamp is fixedly installed at the top of the inner side of the second operating chamber. The sterilization lamp is used to generate sterilization light to achieve sterilization treatment of materials. Insulation curtains are installed at the ends of the inner sides of the two operating chambers that are far apart from each other. The insulation curtains are used to isolate the inside of the operating chamber from the external environment, reduce the loss of sterilization energy, and prevent external contaminants from entering, thus ensuring the stability of the sterilization environment.

[0017] Collection Structure

[0018] The collection structure is used to collect materials after shaping and sterilization, and includes a collection box and a door. The top of the collection box is open and is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first operating compartment, corresponding to the open end of the first operating compartment, to facilitate the collection of dropped materials; the side of the collection box is movably installed with a door, which can be opened and closed, making it convenient for operators to take out the finished materials in the collection box.

[0019] Conveying structure

[0020] The conveying structure is used to drive materials through the shaping structure and sterilization structure in sequence, including a rectangular frame, conveyor wheels, mesh conveyor belt and motor.

[0021] A rectangular frame passes parallel to operating chamber one and two operating chambers two. Its two side walls are fixedly installed inside operating chamber one on both sides and located below the conversion component. Multiple conveyor wheels are installed parallel and equidistantly inside the rectangular frame. The shafts at both ends of the conveyor wheels rotate through the two side walls of the rectangular frame. A mesh conveyor belt is fitted on the multiple conveyor wheels. The mesh conveyor belt is used to carry materials. Its mesh structure facilitates the penetration of hot or cold air, ensuring that the upper and lower surfaces of the materials can fully contact the air source and improve the shaping effect.

[0022] Motor 2 is fixedly installed on the side of operating chamber 1. Its power output end rotates and extends into the interior of operating chamber 1 and is fixedly connected to the shaft of one of the conveyor wheels. When motor 2 is working, it drives the conveyor wheel to rotate, thereby driving the mesh conveyor belt to move cyclically along the rectangular frame to realize continuous material conveying.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0024] Integrated design improves processing efficiency: This invention integrates the shaping structure, sterilization structure, collection structure and conveying structure into one unit. The material can continuously complete the shaping, sterilization and collection processes through the mesh conveyor belt, eliminating the need for manual transfer, shortening the processing flow, reducing the risk of secondary contamination, and significantly improving processing efficiency.

[0025] Uniform and stable shaping effect: By setting up a conversion component, the air source of the hot air blower and the cold air blower is delivered to the air gathering hood through the conveyor pipe, and then blown evenly onto the material through the air outlets distributed in an equidistant array; at the same time, the mesh structure of the mesh conveyor belt ensures that the upper and lower surfaces of the material can contact the air source. With the rotation and switching of the conversion component, hot air or cold air shaping can be flexibly selected according to the needs, ensuring that the shaping effect of each part of the material is consistent and improving the stability of product quality.

[0026] Reliable sterilization effect: Sterilization lamps are installed in the second operating chamber, and heat preservation curtains are installed at both ends of the inner side. This can effectively isolate the external environment, reduce the loss of sterilization energy, maintain a stable sterilization environment in the second operating chamber, ensure thorough sterilization of materials, and meet the hygiene and safety requirements of medical nutritional foods.

[0027] Convenient operation and collection: The supplementary lighting in the operation chamber helps operators observe the material's shaping status; the collection box corresponds to the open end of the operation chamber, and the processed material falls directly into the collection box. The finished product can be easily retrieved through the box door, simplifying the collection process and reducing manual labor intensity.

[0028] Obviously, based on the above description of the present invention, and according to common technical knowledge and conventional methods in the field, various other modifications, substitutions or alterations can be made without departing from the basic technical concept of the present invention.

Fix the wind concentrator 163 on the side of the rotating tube 165, ensuring that the two wind concentrators 163 are sealed and connected to the ends of the two conveying pipes 14 that extend into the operating chamber 11. Finally, process the air outlets 164 distributed in an equidistant array on the bottom side of the wind concentrator 163.

[0044] Sterilization structure assembly: Two operation chambers 21, which match the end faces of operation chamber 11, are made and fixedly installed at both ends of operation chamber 11, so that operation chamber 21 is connected to the interior of operation chamber 11; a sterilization lamp 22 is fixedly installed at the top inside the operation chamber 21. The sterilization lamp 22 is an ultraviolet sterilization lamp. Heat insulation curtains 23 are installed at the opposite ends of the inner sides of the two operation chambers 21. The heat insulation curtains 23 are made of high temperature resistant and waterproof material.

[0045] Conveying structure installation: A rectangular frame 41 is fabricated to fit the internal passages of operating chamber 11 and operating chamber 21. The rectangular frame 41 is passed parallel to operating chamber 11 and the two operating chambers 21.
