Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fish intestine production equipment, in particular to a gelling device for fish intestine production and processing. Background Art

[0002] During the production of fish intestines, overheated water can cause the protein in the fish meat to undergo a gelation reaction. When the protein in the fish meat comes into contact with overheated water, the protein will denature and form a gel. This gel has a certain elasticity and plasticity, making the fish intestines less likely to break during the production and cooking process.

[0003] If the fish meat is not gelled, the protein in the fish meat cannot be denatured and form gel, resulting in soft and sticky meat and poor elasticity and taste of the fish intestines. In addition, improper water temperature control during the gelling process: too high a temperature may cause excessive denaturation of the protein, affecting the texture and taste of the fish intestines, while too low a temperature may result in insufficient gelling. The temperature of the warm water cannot be automatically controlled.

[0004] In industrial production, the automatic transfer of fish intestines cannot be formed, and the entire continuous process of warm water causes uneven warm water transfer of fish intestines, low production efficiency, a large amount of manpower and time are invested, and the production cost is high.

The heating coil heats the water in the heating tank through an external heat source, and then effectively controls the water temperature of the water in the heating tank through the temperature measuring device.

[0028] During the heating process of the heating coil, the temperature sensor measures the water temperature and transmits it to the temperature controller. When the water temperature exceeds the reaction water temperature of fish intestine gelation, the temperature controller will feedback the information and the heating coil will stop heating to limit the increase of water temperature. The water temperature is always kept in a constant state.

[0029] The heating coil stops heating, the temperature sensor measures that the water temperature is lower than the reaction water temperature, and transmits it to the temperature controller. The heating coil continues heating to keep the water temperature in the heating tank constant.

A drain outlet is arranged at the bottom of the warm water tank, a drain pipe is arranged on the drain outlet, and a drain valve is arranged on the drain pipe.

[0033] A loading device 5 for fish intestines is provided above the water inlet end of the mesh conveyor belt on the warm water tank, and the loading device includes a horizontally arranged storage box 501, an input mechanism is provided at the bottom of the storage box, and the input mechanism includes an input belt 502, a driving wheel is provided at one end of the input belt, a driving motor is provided on one side of the driving wheel, and a driven wheel is provided at the other end of the input belt.

[0034] The driving motor starts, drives the driving wheel to move, drives the driven wheel to move synchronously, and the input belt rotates unidirectionally toward the guide port. A guide port is provided at the bottom of the storage box near the warm water tank. The input belt conveys the ungelled fish intestines to the guide port 503. An inclined guide pipe is provided at the guide port. The guide pipe port is inclined toward the direction where the fish intestines enter the water. The lower end of the guide pipe faces the mesh conveyor belt upstream of the fish intestines entering the water. The fish intestines fall accurately onto the mesh conveyor belt along the guide port.

[0035] A mesh conveyor belt for holding and transporting fish intestines is provided along the length direction of the warm water tank. The inner circle of the mesh conveyor belt is provided with a plurality of driving rollers and guide rollers. The driving rollers include a first driving roller 201 and a second driving roller 203 installed on both sides above the warm water tank. The first driving roller and the second driving roller rotate in the same direction. The guide rollers also include a first guide roller 204, a second guide roller 205, and a third guide roller 206 for changing the movement direction of the mesh conveyor belt and guiding the movement of the mesh conveyor belt. When the mesh conveyor belt is located in the warm water tank, the bottom is always limited by the two guide rollers in the tank and immersed in water. The mesh conveyor belt guides the fish intestines to be input or output along an inclined direction. The driving roller cooperates with the guide roller to provide guiding force and supporting force to the mesh conveyor belt, so that the fish intestines are uniformly, stably, and continuously transmitted, and the reaction time is reasonably controlled.

[0036] The driving roller and the guide roller cooperate to pull the mesh conveyor belt to rotate unidirectionally along the inside and outside of the warm water tank. When the mesh conveyor belt is in the warm water tank, it is immersed in the warm water due to the gravity of the fish intestines; two horizontally arranged in-tank guide rollers 202 are arranged at both ends of the warm water tank above the stirring blades, and the two in-tank guide rollers are respectively arranged on both sides of the warm water tank, and the mesh conveyor belt passes under the two in-tank guide rollers.

[0037] The fish intestines enter the water and continue to move along the mesh conveyor belt. During the movement, the fish intestines are naturally shaken and changed in position, and are completely wrapped in the warm water for reaction. A stirring mechanism is provided at the bottom of the warm water tank, and the stirring mechanism includes a vertically arranged stirring motor 3. The stirring motor is turned on after the warm water is injected into the warm water tank, and it continues to work. A stirring blade 301 is provided at the upper end of the stirring motor shaft, and the stirring blade rotates continuously. The stirring mechanism stirs the water in the warm water tank, so that the water temperature in the entire tank is uniform, ensuring that the fish intestines are at the best reaction water temperature when entering the water.

[0038] After staying in the warm water tank for gelation, the fish intestines reach the outlet of the mesh conveyor belt and accumulate to the height of the warm water tank slot.

[0039] A fish intestine collection and transfer device 4 is provided just below the outlet end of the mesh conveyor belt. The collection and transfer device comprises a collection tank 401 which is open at the top and bottom. The collection tank is a conical tank whose size gradually decreases from the upper tank opening to the lower tank opening. The upper tank opening of the conical tank is higher than the edge of the opposite side away from the warm water tank. After the fish intestine falls into the upper tank opening, it passes through the collection tank and falls along the lower tank opening.

[0041] The gelled fish intestines fall from the lower notch of the collection tank onto the chain plate. Because the side baffles on both sides of the chain plate are relatively high enough, the fish intestines all fall onto the chain plate, and the water droplets on the surface of the fish intestines fall along the gaps on the chain plate, drying the moisture on the surface of the fish intestines and transporting them to the next processing flow.
