[0034] As described in the background art, existing blanching devices are not convenient for achieving automatic blanching, and some automatic blanching devices are not convenient for turning over the food during blanching, thus resulting in uneven heating and lower blanching quality.

[0035] Based on the above reasons, the utility model provides an automatic blanching device for food processing, comprising a pool body 1, a feed plate 2 is arranged at the inner end of one side, and the other end is inclined upward to form a discharge end;

[0036] The conveying mechanism 5 is arranged at the inner end of the tank body 1 and the discharge end to support and convey the food;

[0037] The heating pipe 10 is laid at the bottom of the pool body 1 to heat the clean water in the pool body 1;

[0038] A plurality of pushing mechanisms 12 are evenly arranged at the inner end of the conveying mechanism 5 for pushing the food on the conveying mechanism 5 upwards so as to evenly blanch the food.

[0039] Specifically, a water inlet 11 is provided on the outer side of the pool body 1 , a sewage box 6 is also provided on the outer side of the pool body 1 , a filter plate can be placed in the sewage box 6 , and a drain pipe 9 with a valve is also provided at the bottom of the pool body 1 .

[0040] Through the above technical features, the sewage box is provided to facilitate the discharge of blood foam and the like generated on the surface of the water during blanching.

[0041] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 5 is a plurality of parallel support rods arranged in the pool body 1, and both ends of the support rods are respectively fixed on the transmission belt. One end of the transmission belt is tensioned by a rotatable tensioning wheel preset in the pool body 1, and the other end extends to the discharge end of the pool body 1 and is mounted on the transmission wheel. The transmission wheel is driven to rotate by an external drive motor 8.

[0042] Through the above technical features, the specific structure of the conveying mechanism is set to facilitate supporting and conveying the food, and at the same time facilitate the pushing mechanism to push the food upward.

[0043] Specifically, the gaps between the support rods are the same, and a rotating pushing mechanism 12 is provided below the support rod at the upper end of the conveying mechanism 5. The top of the pushing mechanism 12 can be inserted into the gap between the support rods when rotating.

[0044] Specifically, each of the pushing mechanisms 12 specifically includes a rotating rod body 12.1, which is rotatably arranged below the support rod at the upper end of the conveying mechanism 5;

[0045] The push rods 12.2 are evenly arranged at the outer ends of the rotating rods 12.1;

[0046] Connect the rod body 12.3 and install the push rod body 12.2 on the outer end of the rotating rod body 12.1;

[0047] The elastic member 12.4 is arranged between the rotating rod body 12.1 and the connecting rod body 12.3 to keep one end of the connecting rod body 12.3 inserted into the rotating rod body 12.1 for extension and contraction.

[0048] Specifically, the pushing rod body 12.2, the rotating rod body 12.1 and the supporting rod are arranged in parallel.

[0049] Through the above technical features, the specific structure of the pushing mechanism is set to facilitate pushing the items on the conveying mechanism to move upward through rotation. At the same time, the setting of the elastic member prevents the pushing rod from contacting the support rod and causing the support rod to fall off.

[0050] Specifically, a control box 7 for controlling the start and stop of the conveying mechanism 5 and the pushing mechanism 12 and controlling the operating speed is also provided on the outer side of the pool body 1 .

[0051] Specifically, a steam exhaust cover 4 is further provided above the pool body 1 .

[0052] By installing a steam exhaust hood above the pool body, it is convenient to exhaust the heated steam and ensure the external processing environment.

[0053] Specifically, a buffer plate 3 is further provided in the tank body 1 , and the buffer plate 3 is provided between the feed plate 2 and the conveying mechanism 5 .

[0054] The buffer plate is provided to facilitate the smooth movement of food into the pool body, to prevent hot water from splashing when food falls due to a large drop, and to ensure the safety of the staff.

[0055] It is worth noting that in order to ensure that there is no motion interference between the conveying mechanism and the pushing mechanism, the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism is consistent with the rotation direction of the pushing mechanism (ie, if the conveying direction is to the right, the rotation direction is clockwise, and vice versa).

[0056] When the automatic blanching device is in use, the valve of the drain pipe 9 is first closed, and then clean water is added into the tank body 1 through the water inlet 11, and the clean water is heated by the heating tube 10 (the heating tube can be set as an electric heating tube or a steam heating tube), and then the driving motor 8 and the transmission mechanism of the plurality of pushing mechanisms 12 are started by the start button of the control box 7 (the transmission mechanism can be set as a belt transmission mechanism, and it can be kept running synchronously with the conveying mechanism), and then the food is put on the feed plate 2, slides under the action of gravity, and falls on the conveying mechanism 5 in the tank body 1 through the buffer plate 3 for transportation, and then enters into contact with the hot water. During blanching, when the food is transported to the pushing mechanism 12, if the pushing rod body 12.2 of the pushing mechanism 12 passes through the gap between the support rods and contacts the food, it will push the food upward (because the food will generate a certain buoyancy in the water, combined with the elastic member 12.4, it is sufficient to push the food upward), thereby separating the food from the support rod for blanching; if the pushing rod body 12.2 contacts the support rod, it will squeeze the elastic member 12.4, driving the pushing rod body 12.2 to separate from the support rod, thereby protecting the support rod and the pushing rod body from falling off, and finally the food is discharged from the discharge end of the pool body along with the conveying mechanism, realizing automatic blanching.

[0057] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred feasible embodiment of the utility model, but the embodiment is not used to limit the scope of the patent application of the utility model. All equivalent changes or modified changes completed under the technical spirit suggested by the utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the utility model.
