Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling tunnels, in particular to a split hinge structure. 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] In order to ensure the cooling effect of food, a cooling cover is usually installed on the tunnel support. One end of the cooling cover needs to be hinged to the tunnel support, and the other end can be rotated relative to the tunnel support with the above-mentioned hinged end as a fulcrum to open or close. This requires that the tunnel support can support the other end while being attached to or separated from it.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a split hinge structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a split hinge structure, which can be installed on the tunnel support and the cooling cover respectively, and can not only play a hinge role thereto, but also support the cooling cover in the covered state.

The inclined surface on the guide portion can further reduce the production cost of the fixing seat.

[0012] One end of the latch first passes through the guide portion, and the guide channel formed between the two opposite guide inner walls on the guide portion can provide guidance for the downward movement of the latch, so that both ends of the latch can be accurately inserted into the left accommodating portion and the right accommodating portion respectively, ensuring the stable closing of the cooling cover body.

[0013] Furthermore, the plug portion is provided with a plug hole for inserting the plug pin along its length direction. The plug hole plays a role in fixing the placement of the plug pin, thereby preventing the plug pin from falling out of the plug hole during the movement of the socket.

[0014] Furthermore, the locking and fixing part 1 and the locking and fixing part 2 are respectively provided with a plurality of screw insertion holes 1 and screw insertion holes 2 along the width direction thereof. By providing the screw insertion holes 1 and screw insertion holes 2, it is convenient to detachably set the fixing seat and the plug-in seat on the cooling cover or the tunnel bracket.

[0015] Furthermore, the fixing seat and the plug-in seat are both made of stainless steel, which effectively prolongs the service life of the split hinge structure.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0017] In the utility model, the fixed seat, the left accommodating part, the right accommodating part, the plug-in seat and the latch cooperate with each other. The opening of the top open end of the left accommodating part is larger than the size of the top open end of the right accommodating part. The larger opening end can facilitate the insertion of the latch into the accommodating part from top to bottom, while the smaller opening can ensure the stability of the fixed seat and the plug-in seat after being plugged in.
