Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of precoolers, in particular to a vacuum precooler for food preservation. Background Art

[0002] An important indicator of food is its freshness, and consumers have higher and higher requirements for its freshness. Storage at room temperature can no longer meet people's requirements for its freshness. Lowering the temperature is a commonly used and effective method. At this time, a vacuum precooler is needed. The vacuum precooler is a cooling processing equipment that uses vacuum precooling technology and uses a vacuum pump to extract air and water vapor in the vacuum tank to reduce the air pressure in the vacuum box. Under low pressure, the boiling point of water decreases, the latent heat of evaporation increases, and the free water on the surface of the cooled object vaporizes, taking away its own and environmental heat to achieve a cooling effect.

[0003] The utility model patent with patent application publication number CN 218736966 U discloses a food preservation vacuum precooling machine, which can adjust the humidity in the precooling box chamber when storing fruits and vegetables, prevent the food from shrinking due to water loss, ensure the taste of the food, ensure the normal promotion and sales of the food, and has high practicality; it includes a bottom plate, a precooling box and a sealed door, the precooling box is fixedly installed on the upper end of the bottom plate, a chamber is arranged inside the precooling box, a vacuum pump is arranged on the precooling box, the input end of the vacuum pump is connected to the chamber of the precooling box, and a sealed door is arranged on the precooling box, which is installed at the front of the precooling box; it also includes a hygrometer, a storage device and a spraying device, the hygrometer is installed on the precooling box, the storage device is installed in the chamber of the precooling box, the storage device is used to store food, the spraying device is installed on the bottom plate and the precooling box, and the spraying device is used to spray water into the precooling box.

[0004] However, the above device still has some shortcomings in actual use. The most obvious one is that when the device is taking out and placing food, the operator needs to fully open the sealing door before taking out and placing the food. After the sealing door is opened, a large amount of air enters the precooler, resulting in the vacuum pump needing to operate for a long time again to extract the air in the precooler after closing the sealing door to achieve the vacuum precooling effect, which wastes a lot of energy and time and is also easy to reduce the preservation effect of the precooler. In addition, the device lacks a drainage mechanism, which causes blood and water in the food to accumulate in the storage tray and the precooler, causing pollution. The storage tray of the device cannot be disassembled, making it difficult to clean.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a vacuum precooling machine for food preservation to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present disclosure can be combined with each other. The technical solution of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0028] Unless otherwise specified, the exemplary embodiments / embodiments shown will be understood as providing exemplary features of various details of some ways in which the technical concept of the present disclosure can be implemented in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the features of the various embodiments / embodiments can be combined, separated, interchanged and / or rearranged without departing from the technical concept of the present disclosure.

[0029] The use of cross-hatching and / or shading in the accompanying drawings is generally used to make the boundaries between adjacent components clear. As such, unless otherwise specified, the presence or absence of cross-hatching or shading does not convey or indicate any preference or requirement for the specific materials, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonalities between the components shown, and / or any other characteristics, attributes, properties, etc. of the components. In addition, in the accompanying drawings, the sizes and relative sizes of the components may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. When the exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, the specific process sequence can be performed in a different order than described. For example, two successively described processes can be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to the described order. In addition, the same figure numbers represent the same components.

[0030] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "over," "connected to," or "coupled to" another component, the component may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other component, or intervening components may be present. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another component, there are no intervening components. For this purpose, the term "connected" may refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, etc., with or without intervening components.

[0031] For descriptive purposes, the present disclosure may use spatially relative terms such as "under," "beneath," "under," "down," "over," "upper," "above," "higher," and "side (e.g., as in "sidewall")," to describe the relationship of one component to another (other) component as shown in the accompanying drawings. The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use, operation, and / or manufacture in addition to the orientation depicted in the accompanying drawings. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is turned over, components described as "under" or "beneath" other components or features would subsequently be positioned "over" the other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term "under" can encompass both the "above" and "below" orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0032] The terms used here are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be restrictive. As used here, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "one (kind, person)" and "said (the)" are also intended to include plural forms. In addition, when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" and their variations are used in this specification, it is explained that there are stated features, integral bodies, steps, operations, parts, assemblies and / or their groups, but it is not excluded that there are or add one or more other features, integral bodies, steps, operations, parts, assemblies and / or their groups. It should also be noted that, as used here, the terms "substantially", "approximately" and other similar terms are used as approximate terms and not as degree terms, so that they are used to explain the inherent deviations of the measured values, calculated values ​​and / or the values ​​provided that will be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art.

The rotation of the rotating shaft 32 drives the mounting frame 33 to rotate. The rotation of the mounting frame 33 drives the connecting rod 34 to rotate synchronously. The connecting rod 34 drives the rotating rod 35 to rotate. At the same time, due to the weight of the storage box 36 itself, the storage box 36 is kept perpendicular to the bottom plate of the shell body 11. When the corresponding storage box 36 is rotated to the position of the retrieval door 14, the operator opens the retrieval door 14 to quickly complete the storage and retrieval of food. The operator rotates the fixing bolt 39 to make the connecting rod 34 pull out the mounting frame 33, which is convenient for the storage box 36 to be disassembled and cleaned, and the stored water and 38 can be pumped out to dump the blood water.
