Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processing, and in particular to a rapid thawing pool. Background Art
[0002] Meat generally needs to be frozen to preserve its quality and freshness. Frozen meat becomes very hard and cannot be cut. Therefore, it needs to be thawed when cooking with frozen meat, especially large pieces of meat. Natural thawing is very time-consuming, and long storage time can easily cause food corruption and deterioration. High-temperature electric thawing and hot water soaking can accelerate thawing, but too high a temperature will affect the meat quality and breed bacteria. In addition, when hot water soaking is used, the hot water used for thawing is mixed with the frozen meat, and the temperature of the hot water will gradually decrease. It is necessary to continuously heat the thawing container to ensure the thawing speed. In addition, a large amount of wastewater containing scum and sediment will be generated during the thawing process. The thawed meat needs to be fished out of the thawing container. The whole process requires a lot of labor costs and causes a lot of waste of water resources. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a rapid thawing pool.
[0004] The rapid thawing pool provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a lifting frame is installed on the thawing pool, and the lifting cylinder on the bracket acts on the placement frame, so that the meat to be thawed can be taken and placed in the thawing pool through the lifting frame. The size of the placement frame is adapted to the thawing pool, which can make full use of the space of the thawing pool and increase the amount of single thawing. The heat-conducting water pipes on the walls of the thawing pool are connected to the heating pool, so that the water in the heat-conducting water pipes in the thawing pool can continuously exchange heat with the water in the thawing pool, which not only ensures the efficiency of thawing, but also the water in the heat-conducting water pipes can be continuously circulated without direct contact with the meat, effectively reducing the amount of water and improving the efficiency of thawing. The heating rod continuously heats the water in the heating pool, and the water in the heating pool continuously exchanges heat with the heat-conducting water pipe through the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe, so that there is continuous hot water for heat exchange with the heat-conducting water pipe. The overflow port installed on the side of the thawing pool can discharge excess water and surface scum after thawing, and collect the scum through the scum collecting mechanism. Because the blood produced during the thawing process of meat is very little and will not cover the surface of frozen meat, the water inlet device on the thawing pool can add water to the thawing pool so that the water in the thawing pool can cover the surface of frozen meat during the thawing process, so that the scum on the water surface can be discharged from the overflow port, and the liquid level sensor senses the liquid level in the thawing pool to replenish the water in the thawing pool as needed.
