[0022] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant utility model, rather than to limit the utility model. It is also necessary to explain that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides a food cooling device, comprising: a frame 1, a supporting frame 2, a material shifting plate 3, and a turning mechanism 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the food cooling device is used for sheet-shaped sheet materials (food). A belt conveyor 11 is installed on the frame 1. The belt conveyor is a prior art, and its structure is not repeated here.

[0026] The support frame 2 includes a vertical rod and a horizontal rod. In the present embodiment, the number of the vertical rods is three. The vertical rods are welded and connected to the frame.

[0027] Support frames 2 are respectively installed on opposite sides of the frame 1. Three vertical poles are respectively arranged at the input end, the middle part and the output end of the belt conveyor. The upper parts of the three vertical poles are connected with cross bars.

[0028] A crossbeam is connected between the two support frames 2. Specifically, the crossbeam is connected between the crossbars at the tops of the two support frames. A fan 21 is installed on the crossbeam. The fan 21 is aligned with the belt surface 111 of the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 11.

[0029] In this embodiment, four fans are arranged in the length direction of the belt surface of the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor, and the fans cool the sheet materials on the belt surface of the conveyor belt.

[0030] The material-diverting plate 3 is installed on the two support frames 2 in a liftable manner. The material-diverting plate 3 is arranged at the input end of the belt conveyor 11. The distance between the bottom of the material-diverting plate and the belt surface is less than the thickness of two sheets of sheet materials and greater than the thickness of one sheet material. When the sheet materials fed from the input end of the belt conveyor overlap, the material-diverting plate blocks the sheet materials so that the sheet materials are laid on the belt surface respectively, thereby preventing the overlap of the sheet materials.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the support frame 2 is provided with a vertically arranged strip hole. Specifically, a strip hole is provided on the vertical rod at the input end of the belt conveyor. A screw rod is slidably arranged in the strip hole. Screw fittings are screwed at both ends of the screw rod. The screw fittings at both ends of the screw rod are respectively pressed against the opposite sides of the two support frames 2. The material removal plate 3 is connected to the middle of the screw rod.

[0032] The turning mechanism 4 includes a tilting seat 41 and an air pump (not shown in the drawings). The tilting seat is in an elongated strip shape and is arranged along the width direction of the belt surface 111. The tilting seat 41 is connected between the two support frames 2 and is attached to the belt surface 111.

[0033] In this embodiment, the cross section of the tilting seat is triangular. Specifically, the tilting seat 41 has a material-facing side a and a material-receiving side b that are arranged obliquely. The upper side of the material-facing side a intersects with the material-receiving side to form a ridge c.

[0034] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a conveying air passage is formed inside the tilting seat 41. The conveying air passage is arranged along the length direction of the tilting seat 41. A plurality of air outlets d are provided on the side a facing the material. The plurality of air outlets d are connected to the conveying air passage. The air pump is connected to the conveying air passage through a pipeline.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, the width of the material-facing side a is less than 1 / 2 of the length of the sheet material 5 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the width of the back material side b is greater than 1 / 2 of the length of the sheet material 5 and smaller than the length of the sheet material 5 .

[0037] Continue reading Figure 2 As shown, the lower side of the back material side b forms a limiting flange 411. After the sheet material is pushed onto the material-facing side, the front side of the sheet material turns over and rests on the back material side, and the limiting flange abuts against the front side of the sheet material.

[0038] In this embodiment, a support beam 22 is connected between the two support frames 2. The support beam 22 is supported on the inner side of the conveyor belt. The position of the support beam 22 corresponds to the position of the tilting seat 41.

[0039] The tilting seat 41 is located in the middle of the conveying belt.

[0040] See also Figures 4 to 6 When the sheet material passes through the material-shifting plate, the front side of the sheet material (when feeding, the upper surface of the sheet material placed on the belt surface is regarded as the front side) is gradually cooled down by the action of the fan.

[0041] See also Figure 4 When the sheet material gradually cools down on the front side and runs to the middle of the belt conveyor, the sheet material moves upward along the inclined direction of the side facing the material under the push of the belt surface of the belt conveyor, and the front side of the sheet material 5 on the belt surface 111 rolls over the ridge c to the top of the back material side b.

[0042] See also Figure 5 Since the width of the side of the material is less than 1 / 2 of the length of the sheet material, the back side of the sheet material 5 is supported by the ridge, and the ridge is used as a fulcrum to turn down and rest on the side of the material. At this time, the limit flange is against the front side of the sheet material. At the same time, the air pump is started, and multiple air outlets d blow out airflow.

[0043] See also Figure 6 The airflow from the air outlet lifts the rear side of the sheet material 5, so that the sheet material 5 is turned over and placed on the conveying belt. When the airflow lifts the rear side of the sheet material, the sheet material is turned forward in the conveying direction of the belt conveyor with the limit flange as the fulcrum, so that the back of the sheet material is laid on the belt surface upward, thereby completing the turning over of the sheet material.

[0044] Afterwards, the back side of the sheet material is gradually cooled down by the fan in the second half of the belt conveyor.

[0045] The food cooling device of the utility model installs the fan on the belt conveyor to avoid the fan taking up extra space. A material-shifting plate is provided at the input end of the belt conveyor. When the sheet materials are stacked together, the sheet materials are respectively laid on the belt surface through the blocking of the material-shifting plate to avoid the stacking of the sheet materials. In addition, by providing a turning mechanism on the belt surface, the sheet materials can be turned over for cooling, thereby accelerating the cooling of the food in the sheet material and cooling it comprehensively, thereby improving the food cooling efficiency.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and an explanation of the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the present application is not limited to the technical solution formed by a specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the concept of the utility model. For example, the above features are replaced with the technical features with similar functions disclosed in the present application (but not limited to) by each other to form a technical solution.
