[0001] The utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment, in particular to a tunnel type air cooling box for food processing. Background Art
[0002] The tunnel air cooling box for food processing is a continuous air cooling device. The conveyor belt passes through a long bellows, similar to a tunnel. The food on the conveyor belt is continuously cooled by the bellows and then continuously transported out of the bellows. Compared with natural cooling, it has higher efficiency.
[0003] In the process of food processing, the baked food cannot be directly processed to the next step due to its high temperature, so the food needs to be cooled. Among them, the tunnel-type air cooling box is a widely used one. The existing tunnel-type air cooling boxes for food processing mostly use fans to blow directly on the food, which will make the food cooling uneven, and the air blowing through the food is not discharged from the air cooling box in time, which will cause the temperature in the air cooling box to rise, which is not conducive to the cooling of the food. Secondly, food processing requires the processing equipment to be kept clean to meet the hygiene requirements. The existing tunnel-type air cooling boxes for food processing have the problem of inconvenient equipment cleaning. For this reason, we propose a tunnel-type air cooling box for food processing. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a tunnel type air cooling box for food processing, which can effectively solve the problem that the existing tunnel type air cooling boxes for food processing in the background technology mostly use fans to directly blow food, which will make the food cooling uneven, and the air blown through the food is not discharged from the air cooling box in time, which will cause the temperature in the air cooling box to rise, which is not conducive to the cooling of food. Food processing requires that the processing equipment be kept clean to meet the hygiene requirements. The existing tunnel type air cooling boxes for food processing have the problem of inconvenient equipment cleaning.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0009] Furthermore, the two centrifugal fans are each provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and the air outlets of the two centrifugal fans are respectively movably plugged into the inside of the two mounting holes, and the air outlets of the two centrifugal fans are both fixedly sleeved with abutment rings, and the two abutment rings are each provided with two positioning grooves, and the circumferential outer surfaces of the two mounting holes are each fixedly installed with two positioning blocks, and the four positioning blocks are respectively movably plugged into the inside of the four positioning grooves, and the four positioning blocks are each provided with a second plug-in hole, and the four second plug-in holes are each movably plugged with a second fixing bolt, and one end of the four second fixing bolts are respectively movably plugged into the two centrifugal fans, and the four second fixing bolts are respectively threadedly connected to the two centrifugal fans.

[0011] Furthermore, support plates are fixedly installed in the middle of both ends of the two mounting plates, and the two centrifugal fans and the axial flow fans are electrically connected to the control power supply through electric wires respectively.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. The utility model can solve the problem that the existing tunnel-type air cooling box for food processing mostly uses fans to blow directly on food, which makes the food not cooled evenly, and the air blowing through the food is not discharged from the air cooling box in time, which will cause the temperature in the air cooling box to rise, which is not conducive to the cooling of food. When in use, two centrifugal fans blow the outside air into the inside of the two air guides. Since the several air holes on the two air guide plates are inclined downward, and the several air holes on the two air guide plates are inclined toward the two guides, the air in the two air guides are blown out of the air. The air is blown toward the food on the conveyor belt through the air holes, and the air flow flows between the two air guides. After the air on the food surface accelerates, it quickly takes away the heat on the food, and then the hot air is extracted by the axial flow fan through the exhaust hood and the elbow, which is beneficial for the food to be continuously cooled by the cooler air sucked in by the two centrifugal fans. In addition, the cooler air passing through the several air holes on the two air guides can be blown toward the food more evenly, which is beneficial for uniform cooling of the food, making the device more practical.

By setting the mounting groove, mounting hole, cylinder and connecting groove, the problem of keeping the processing equipment clean during food processing can be solved to meet the hygiene requirements. The existing tunnel-type air cooling box for food processing has the problem of inconvenient equipment cleaning. The mounting groove can be used to flexibly install the air guide plate and the air guide cover, so that the user can remove the air guide plate and the air guide cover from the device for cleaning. Through the movable plug-in mode of the centrifugal fan and the mounting hole, the user can separate the centrifugal fan from the inside of the mounting hole, and then the user can move the bent pipe in the opposite direction of the axial flow fan installation position to disconnect the bent pipe from the axial flow fan. The user can directly pick up the exhaust hood and the bent pipe to disconnect the cylinder from the connecting groove. The user can clean the exhaust hood, the bent pipe and the axial flow fan separately. After completing the removal of the important components of the device, the user can also clean the conveyor belt to meet the hygiene requirements. In addition, the various components of the device can be removed, which can also facilitate the installation and transportation of the equipment to increase convenience.
[0015] The parts not involved in the device are the same as those in the prior art or can be implemented by using the prior art. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] It should be noted that the utility model is a tunnel-type air-cooling box for food processing. Before use, first, the device needs to be placed on a horizontal ground, and the two ends of the conveyor belt 2 correspond to the input conveyor belt and the output transmission belt respectively. Then the user can control the control power supply to energize the two centrifugal fans 11 and the curved pipe 10.

[0037] After the use of this device is completed, if it is necessary to clean the device, the first step requires the user to respectively unscrew the four second fixing bolts 20, and then the user can pull out the two centrifugal fans 11 from the two mounting holes 8 respectively. The next step requires the user to respectively unscrew the eight first fixing bolts 15, and the user can respectively take out the two air guide covers 7 and the two air guide plates 5, and then the user can move the bent pipe 10 in the direction opposite to the installation position of the axial flow fan 12, so that the bent pipe 10 is disconnected from the axial flow fan 12, and the exhaust hood 9 and the bent pipe 10 will rotate with the two cylinders 23 as axes, and then the user can directly pick up the exhaust hood 9 and the bent pipe 10, so that the cylinder 23 and the connecting groove 25 are disconnected, and then the user can clean the two removed centrifugal fans 11, air guide plates 5, air guide covers 7 and exhaust hoods 9, and the user can also clean the conveyor belt 2 and the connecting parts on the conveyor belt 2, and then reverse the above disassembly steps to install the components of this device.
