[0039] In order to improve the overall stability and firmness of the water bath freezing pattern line equipment, a support frame 15 may also be connected to the lower surface of the tank bottom 21 .

[0040] In some embodiments, there is a first interval 26 between the third tank wall 24 and the third side plate 13, and there is a second interval 27 between the fourth tank wall 25 and the fourth side plate 14. A first connecting member (such as a connecting plate or a connecting rod, etc., not shown) is provided at the first interval 26, and a second connecting member (such as a connecting plate or a connecting rod, etc.) is provided at the second interval 27.

The bottom of the freezing tank 20 is simultaneously connected to the above-mentioned first fixed block 16 and the second fixed block, so that the first fixed block 16 and the second fixed block jointly support and fix the freezing tank 20.

[0042] The horizontal height of the freezing tank 20 does not exceed the horizontal height of the frame 10 .

[0043] In this embodiment, the length direction of the rack 10 can also be understood as the length direction of the freezing tank 20 .

[0044] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 Along the length direction of the frame 10, a water bath water distribution structure 30 is provided in a partial area of ​​the freezing tank 20.

[0045] The water bath water distribution structure 30 includes a water distribution housing 31 and a water distribution plate 32. The water distribution housing 31 is disposed in the freezing tank 20, and the water distribution housing 31 is connected to the bottom surface of the freezing tank 20 to form a water distribution cavity 33.

[0046] The water distribution plate 32 is vertically arranged on the upper surface of the water distribution housing 31 and extends along the length direction of the frame 10. The interior of the water distribution plate 32 has a transition cavity 321 connected to the water distribution cavity 33 (it can be understood that the interior of the water distribution plate 32 is a hollow structure), and the surface of the water distribution plate 32 is provided with a water distribution hole 322 connected to the transition cavity 321, so that the water in the water distribution cavity 33 flows out from the water distribution hole 322 through the transition cavity 321.

[0047] Exemplarily, the cross-sectional shape of the water distribution housing 31 may be a rectangle, or may be a square.

[0048] In some embodiments, the sum of the height of the water distribution plate 32 and the height of the water distribution cavity 33 does not exceed the depth of the freezing tank 20 , so as to achieve sufficient and uniform freezing of the portion of the freezing mold 50 located in the freezing tank 20 .

[0049] In some embodiments, there is only one water distribution plate 32, which is disposed in the middle of the water distribution shell 31 in the width direction. Accordingly, the left side and / or right side of the water distribution plate 32 can serve as a forward passage for the freezing mold 50, and the freezing mold 50 can be frozen in a water bath through the water distribution plate 32 during its forward movement.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the number of water distribution plates 32 is multiple, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17 or more, which are specifically arranged as needed. Multiple water distribution plates 32 are arranged on the upper surface of the water distribution housing 31 at intervals along the width direction of the frame 10. Preferably, multiple water distribution plates 32 are evenly spaced. The interval channel 323 formed between two adjacent water distribution plates 32 serves as a forward passage for the freezing mold 50.

[0051] In some embodiments, each water distribution plate 32 is provided with a plurality of water distribution holes 322 , and at least some of the water distribution holes 322 are spaced apart along the length direction of the water distribution plate 32 , so as to continuously freeze the freezing mold 50 in a water bath as it moves forward.

[0052] In other embodiments, at least some of the water distribution holes 322 may be arranged along the height direction of the water distribution plate 32, so that the freezing mold 50 can be uniformly water-bathed frozen from the root to the top during the forward movement of the freezing mold 50. In some preferred embodiments, multiple water distribution holes 322 may be arranged along the length direction and the height direction of the water distribution plate 32. Further preferably, all the water distribution holes 322 arranged on each water distribution plate 32 are distributed in an array form to obtain a better freezing effect and avoid the problem of false freezing.

[0053] In each of the above-mentioned water distribution plates 32, the water distribution holes 322 can be distributed only on one side surface of the water distribution plate 32, or can be distributed on both side surfaces of the water distribution plate 32 at the same time. In order to obtain a better freezing effect, it is preferred to distribute the water distribution holes 322 on both side surfaces of the water distribution plate 32 at the same time.

[0054] In order to achieve a more uniform freezing effect for the freezing mold 50, the forward direction of the freezing mold 50 is defined as from left to right. Taking the water distribution plate 32 on the left side of the freezing mold 50 as the first water distribution plate 324 and the water distribution plate 32 on the right side of the freezing mold 50 as the second water distribution plate 325 as an example, the position and number of the water distribution holes 322 arranged on the right side (the side facing the freezing mold 50) of the first water distribution plate 324 are the same as the position and number of the water distribution holes 322 arranged on the left side (the side facing the freezing mold 50) of the second water distribution plate 325.

[0055] Exemplarily, the shape of the water distribution hole 322 can be circular, square, triangular or any other shape as long as the water can flow out of the water distribution cavity 33 .

[0056] Exemplarily, the water bath water distribution structure 30 can be located at or near any end of the freezing tank 20, or in the middle of the freezing tank 20. In some typical embodiments, the water bath water distribution structure 30 is located near the middle of the freezing tank 20.

[0057] In some embodiments, the length of the water distribution chamber 33 can be 12% to 20% of the length of the entire freezing tank 20, such as 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19% or 20%, or any other value within the range of 12% to 20%. Within the above range, a better combination of immersion freezing and water bath freezing can be obtained.

[0058] Furthermore, a plurality of liquid inlets 28 for inputting the freezing medium are provided at the bottom of the freezing tank 20 , and at least one liquid inlet 28 is provided in a region of the freezing tank 20 for forming the water distribution cavity 33 .

[0059] The freezing medium may illustratively but not limitatively include salt water, cold water, etc.

[0060] In some embodiments, taking the water bath water distribution structure 30 located in the middle of the freezing tank 20 as an example, along the forward direction of the freezing mold 50, the freezing tank 20 can be divided into a first immersion freezing section 201, a water bath freezing section 202, and a second immersion freezing section 203, which are arranged in sequence. Among them, the first immersion freezing section 201 is correspondingly provided with at least one liquid inlet 28, through which the freezing medium is input into the first immersion freezing section 201. The water bath freezing section 202 is correspondingly provided with at least one liquid inlet 28, through which the freezing medium is input into the water distribution cavity 33 corresponding to the water bath freezing section 202. The second immersion freezing section 203 is also correspondingly provided with at least one liquid inlet 28, through which the freezing medium is input into the second immersion freezing section 203.

[0061] Correspondingly, the water bath freezing color line device also includes a delivery pipe (not shown) for delivering the freezing medium, and the outlet of the delivery pipe is connected to the liquid inlet 28. In some embodiments, the number of delivery pipes can be equal to the number of liquid inlets 28, and different delivery pipes can be respectively provided with valves (not shown) to independently deliver the freezing medium to different positions of the freezing tank 20 as needed.

[0062] Correspondingly, the water bath freezing color line equipment also has a liquid outlet (not shown) for outputting the cooling medium. The location of the liquid outlet can be set accordingly as required and is not specifically limited here.

[0063] In some embodiments, the frame 10 is provided with an introduction hole 18, which is used for the delivery pipe to pass through and is arranged below the freezing tank 20. Exemplarily, the introduction hole 18 can be provided on the first side plate 11 and / or the second side plate 12 of the frame 10.

[0064] Continuing from the above, the present embodiment improves a part of the freezing tank 20 in the prior art into a water bath water distribution structure 30. The unimproved part of the freezing tank 20 can realize immersion freezing of the freezing mold 50 filled with the material to be frozen, and the improved water bath water distribution structure 30 can realize water bath freezing of the freezing mold 50 filled with the material to be frozen. By combining immersion freezing with water bath freezing, the freezing effect of the freezing medium on the frozen material can be effectively improved, and the problem of the root of the frozen product being unsolid can be solved.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] This embodiment provides a freezing system, which includes a freezing mold 50 and the water bath freezing color line equipment in Example 1.

[0067] During the freezing process, at least a portion of the freezing mold 50 is located in the freezing tank 20 .

[0068] In some embodiments, the number of the freezing mold 50 is only one. In other embodiments, the number of the freezing mold 50 is multiple, and the multiple freezing molds 50 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the freezing tank 20.

[0069] Each of the freezing molds 50 may have only one box body 51 for filling the material to be frozen, or may have a plurality of box bodies 51 for filling the material to be frozen. When each freezing mold 50 has a plurality of box bodies 51, the plurality of box bodies 51 may be arranged at intervals along the width direction of the freezing tank 20.

[0070] The freezing mold 50 can be driven by a driving device to move forward along the length direction of the frame 10. For the driving device, reference can be made to the relevant prior art, and no further details will be given here.
