[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0021] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model provides a rapid thawing device, which comprises a device body 1 provided with a thawing chamber, and a water inlet and a drain outlet (not shown in the figure) connected to an external heating device through a pipeline are provided on the side wall of the thawing chamber, and the heating device adopts a heating tank (the prior art) with a heating pipe inside; when thawing, the material (frozen food) is poured into the thawing chamber, and the water flow in the thawing chamber will thaw the material (frozen food), and at the same time, the water flow in the thawing chamber will continuously enter the heating tank for heating to ensure the temperature of the water flow, and further ensure that the water flow has a stable thawing ability.

[0022] A plurality of auxiliary thawing roller groups 2 are also installed on the side wall of the thawing chamber; each group of the auxiliary thawing roller groups includes a pressure roller 3 that can move up and down and is used to crush the material, and a driving structure that drives the pressure roller 3 to move. The material is crushed by the pressure roller 3 that moves up and down (it needs to be further explained that in the early stage of thawing of the equipment, the auxiliary thawing roller group 2 does not work. When the material is already in a semi-thawed state, the auxiliary thawing roller group 2 is started. At this time, pressing on a single individual in the frozen food will not tear it, ensuring the integrity of the material). The crushed material will increase its contact area with the water flow, further increase the heat transfer effect, and ultimately optimize the thawing rate.

[0023] Preferably, a material outlet 11 is provided on one side of the device body 1 of the utility model; a transmission component (a chain conveyor belt structure can be sufficient) is provided at the bottom of the thawing chamber for transmitting toward the material outlet 11, which is used to output the thawed material from the material outlet 11 to the outside of the device.

[0024] See also Figure 3In addition, the axis of the pressing roller 3 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the transmission component and rotates around a fulcrum on the side wall of the thawing chamber; when the pressing roller 3 is at the lowest point, it has a tendency to move in the transmission direction of the transmission component (clockwise rotation as shown in the figure). Specifically, the driving structure includes a support rod 4 rotatably mounted on the side wall of the thawing chamber and connected to the end of the pressing roller 3 (specifically in this embodiment, support rods 4 are provided at both ends of the pressing roller 3) and a driving motor that drives the support rod 4 to rotate. During the rotation process of the pressing roller 3, the driving motor further drives the pressing roller 3 to rotate around the rotation connection point of the support rod 4 through the support rod 4. By making the pressing roller 3 work according to the above-mentioned working process, it can be ensured that the pressing roller 3 presses and crushes the material while also driving the material to be transmitted to the material outlet 11.

[0025] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In addition, in order to facilitate the installation and replacement of the pressure roller 3, the end of the pressure roller 3 of the utility model only has a threaded hole 31 for connection; the pressure roller 3 is fixed to the support rod 4 through a fixing member 5; one end of the fixing member 5 is provided with a threaded head 51 that cooperates with the threaded hole 31 for assembly; the threaded head 51 passes through the support rod 4 and is installed in the threaded hole 31.
