Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of product conveying and cooling, in particular to a cooling tunnel cover. Background Art

[0002] The cooling tunnel is a highly efficient conveying device that integrates cooling and conveying. It is a type of food or beverage processing equipment. During the transportation through the tunnel, food can be quickly cooled to ensure food temperature and quality, preparing for later storage.

[0003] At present, the existing cooling tunnel has poor insulation effect inside the cover during cooling, which causes a large heat exchange between the cooling tunnel and the outside world, often resulting in a large energy consumption. This not only increases the energy consumption of cooling, but also makes the cooling effect poor, the cooling efficiency of the product low, and the production efficiency low, which has an adverse impact on the production and operation activities of the enterprise.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cooling tunnel cover to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a cooling tunnel cover to ensure the thermal insulation effect of the cooling tunnel in the cover, improve the cooling efficiency and production efficiency of the product, and reduce the production loss of the enterprise.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a cooling tunnel cover, an openable cover is arranged on a tunnel support, and includes at least one group of cover bodies; each group of the cover bodies includes two cover body bodies that are abutted end to end and have the same structure, and the sides of the two adjacent cover body bodies that abut each other are respectively provided with matching sealing strips 1 and 2 along their contours. When covered, the sealing strips 1 and 2 are squeezed and deformed against each other to seal the abutting sides of the two cover body bodies.

[0007] Furthermore, the sealing strip 1 is a hollow structure, which includes a fitting surface 1 and an arcuate surface 1, the fitting surface 1 is tightly fitted with one of the cover bodies, and the arcuate surface 1 is protruded in a direction away from the fitted cover body. The sealing strip 1 is a hollow structure, so that when the sealing strip 2 is squeezed with the sealing strip 1, the sealing strip 1 can reserve deformation space for its deformation under squeezing, so as to ensure the subsequent sealing effect.

[0008] Furthermore, the second sealing strip includes a second fitting surface and a second arc surface, the interior of which is a solid structure, the second fitting surface is tightly fitted with the other cover body, and the second arc surface is protruded in a direction away from the fitted cover body. By setting up this solid structure, when the first sealing strip contacts the second sealing strip, the second sealing strip can exert an extrusion force on the first sealing strip, and then the elasticity of the first sealing strip forms a mutually extruding structure with the second sealing strip, thereby achieving the sealing of the two cover bodies. The second sealing strip is arranged on the second cover body.

[0009] Furthermore, the portion of the sealing strip 1 between the fitting surface 1 and the hollow structure is symmetrically provided with a groove 1 extending outwardly from the edge of the sealing strip 1 along the first direction. While reducing the production cost of the sealing strip 1, it also provides a larger deformation space for the extruded end thereof, thereby ensuring that the gap between the cover body 1 and the cover body 2 is sealed after being extruded with the sealing strip 2. The first direction is a direction perpendicular to the fitting surface 1 on the sealing strip 1.

[0010] Furthermore, the portion of the sealing strip 2 between the fitting surface 2 and the arcuate surface 2 is symmetrically provided with a groove 2 extending outwardly from the edge of the sealing strip 2 along the second direction. While reducing the production cost of the sealing strip 2, it also provides a larger deformation space for the extruded end thereof, thereby ensuring that the gap between the cover body 1 and the cover body 2 is sealed after being extruded with the sealing strip 1. The second direction is a direction perpendicular to the fitting surface 1 on the sealing strip 2.

[0011] Furthermore, the diameter of the arc surface 1 on the sealing strip 1 is larger than the diameter of the arc surface 2 on the sealing strip 2, so as to ensure the best sealing and heat preservation effect.

[0012] Furthermore, the cover body is arranged in an inverted U-shape, and the adjacent cover bodies are connected. The cover body is arranged on the tunnel support, and the cooling tunnel is located on the tunnel support, that is, a limited space for placing and cooling the product is formed between the cover body arranged in an inverted U-shape and the cooling tunnel, and two adjacent cover bodies are connected, so that the product can pass through multiple cover bodies in sequence under the movement of the cooling tunnel, and be cooled in the limited space formed between the multiple cover bodies and the cooling tunnel.

[0013] Furthermore, the cover body is a three-layer structure, and from the inside to the outside, it is a stainless steel layer, a ceramic insulation layer and a stainless steel outer layer. By setting up a multi-layer cover body, the heat preservation effect inside the cover is guaranteed, and the setting of the ceramic insulation layer can effectively prevent the external heat from exchanging with the inside of the cover, thereby maintaining the cooling effect in the cooling tunnel and effectively improving the efficiency of cooling subsequent products.

[0014] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0015] In the utility model, two cover bodies, sealing strip one and sealing strip two cooperate with each other. When covered, the cover body one fits with the side edges of the cover body two. At this time, the sealing strip one and the sealing strip two squeeze and deform each other, so that the gap between the cover body one and the cover body two is sealed, thereby ensuring that the cold air channel defined and formed between the cover body and the cooling tunnel will not exchange with the outside world, ensuring the thermal insulation effect of the cooling tunnel in the cover, improving the cooling efficiency and production efficiency of the product, and reducing the production loss of the enterprise.

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] See attached Figures 1 to 7As shown, a cooling tunnel cover in this embodiment, an openable and closable cover is arranged on a tunnel support 5, and includes at least one group of covers; each group of the covers includes two cover bodies that are abutted end to end and have the same structure, and a matching sealing strip 1 3 and a sealing strip 2 4 are respectively arranged along the contour of the side where the two adjacent cover bodies abut against each other. When covered, the sealing strip 1 3 and the sealing strip 2 4 are squeezed and deformed against each other to seal the abutting sides of the two cover bodies.

[0026] The sealing strip 1 3 is a hollow structure, which includes a fitting surface 1 31 and an arcuate surface 1 32. The fitting surface 1 31 is tightly fitted with one of the cover bodies, and the arcuate surface 1 32 is protruded in a direction away from the fitted cover body. The sealing strip 1 3 is a hollow structure, so that when the sealing strip 2 4 is squeezed with the sealing strip 1 3, the sealing strip 1 3 can reserve deformation space for its deformation under squeezing, so as to ensure the subsequent sealing effect.

[0027] In some embodiments, the sealing strip 3 is attached to the cover body 1, and the sealing strip 3 is arranged in a C shape. At this time, the sealing strip 3 has two opposite fitting surfaces 31 and an arc surface 32. The two fitting surfaces 31 are fitted with the cover body 1, and the arc surface 32 is arranged opposite to the sealing strip 24.

[0028] In some embodiments, the sealing strip 1 3 may also be a semi-annular structure with a hollow interior, and can also cooperate with the sealing strip 2 4 to perform extrusion sealing.

[0029] It should be noted that the specific shapes of the sealing strip 1 3 and the sealing strip 2 4 in the present application are not limited, as long as a space for extrusion and deformation is reserved in the middle of the sealing strip 1 3, when the side where the sealing strip 1 3 and the sealing strip 2 4 are extruded from each other is an arc-shaped surface, a better sealing effect can be achieved relative to the cover body 1 and the cover body 2 2. At the same time, when they are extruded from each other, the surfaces of the sealing strip 1 3 and the sealing strip 2 4 will not be damaged.

[0030] The sealing strip 2 4 includes a fitting surface 2 41 and an arc surface 2 42, and the interior thereof is a solid structure. The fitting surface 2 41 is tightly fitted with the other cover body, and the arc surface 2 42 is protruded in a direction away from the fitted cover body. By setting up this solid structure, when the sealing strip 1 3 contacts the sealing strip 2 4, the sealing strip 2 4 can exert an extrusion force on the sealing strip 1 3, and then the elasticity of the sealing strip 1 3 and the sealing strip 2 4 form a mutually extruding structure, thereby achieving the sealing of the two cover bodies. The sealing strip 2 4 is set on the cover body 2 2.

[0031] The sealing strip 1 3 and the sealing strip 2 4 can be embedded in the strip grooves provided on the cover body, or can be glued to the cover body by glue, as long as it can be ensured that the sealing strip 1 3 and the sealing strip 2 4 will not fall off the cover body, so as to achieve the effect of sealing and heat preservation of the two covers. The sealing strip 1 3 and the sealing strip 2 4 are made of PVC or silicone.

[0032] The portion of the sealing strip 1 3 between the fitting surface 1 31 and the hollow structure is symmetrically provided with a groove 1 extending outwardly toward the edge of the sealing strip 1 3 along the first direction. While reducing the production cost of the sealing strip 1 3, it also provides a larger deformation space for the extruded end thereof, thereby ensuring that the gap between the cover body 1 and the cover body 2 2 is sealed after being extruded with the sealing strip 2 4. The first direction is a direction perpendicular to the fitting surface 1 31 on the sealing strip 1 3.

[0033] The portion of the sealing strip 24 between the fitting surface 21 and the arc surface 22 is symmetrically provided with a groove 2 extending toward the edge of the sealing strip 24 along the second direction. While reducing the production cost of the sealing strip 24, it also provides a larger deformation space for the extruded end thereof, thereby ensuring that the gap between the cover body 1 and the cover body 22 is sealed after being extruded with the sealing strip 13. The second direction is a direction perpendicular to the fitting surface 131 on the sealing strip 24.

[0034] The diameter of the arc surface 1 32 on the sealing strip 1 3 is larger than the diameter of the arc surface 2 42 on the sealing strip 2 4, so as to ensure the best sealing and heat preservation effect.

[0035] The cover body is arranged in an inverted U-shape, and the adjacent cover bodies are connected. The cover body is covered on the tunnel support 5, and the cooling tunnel is located on the tunnel support 5, that is, a limited space for placing and cooling the product is formed between the cover body arranged in an inverted U-shape and the cooling tunnel, and two adjacent cover bodies are connected, so that the product can pass through multiple cover bodies in sequence under the movement of the cooling tunnel, and be cooled in the limited space formed between the multiple cover bodies and the cooling tunnel.

[0036] It should be noted that, according to the temperature at which the product needs to be cooled, the cover body can be provided with multiple covers along its length, thereby increasing the time the product spends in the above-mentioned limited cooling space, and then cooling it to the required temperature, thereby ensuring the cooling effect of the product.

[0037] The cover body is a three-layer structure, and from the inside to the outside, it is a stainless steel layer, a ceramic insulation layer and a stainless steel outer layer. By setting up a multi-layer cover body, the heat preservation effect inside the cover is guaranteed. The setting of the ceramic insulation layer can effectively prevent the external heat from exchanging with the inside of the cover, thereby maintaining the cooling effect in the cooling tunnel and effectively improving the efficiency of cooling subsequent products.

[0038] In some embodiments, the structure of the middle layer of the cover body can also be formed by high-pressure polyurethane foaming. The raw materials for foaming are black material and white material. Through the high-pressure polyurethane foaming process, the black material and the white material are mixed evenly, and the foam pores are fine and uniform, and the thermal insulation effect is better, thereby ensuring that the cooling tunnel will not exchange heat with the outside world, thereby ensuring the cooling effect of the cooling tunnel in the cover.

[0039] The above implementation modes are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the utility model, and their purpose is to allow people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the utility model and implement it. It cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
