Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a material blocking mechanism of an automatic blanching device. Background Art

[0002] Blanching means putting the preliminarily processed raw materials in a pot of boiling water and heating them until they are half-cooked or fully cooked, and then taking them out for further cooking or seasoning. It is an indispensable step in cooking, especially for cold dishes. It plays a key role in the color, aroma and taste of the dishes, especially the color. Blanching has a wide range of applications, and most vegetables and meat materials with fishy smells need to be blanched.

[0003] After the meat is blanched, most of the odor can be removed. The existing blanching device usually puts the meat directly into a boiling water bucket for blanching. This method requires manual salvaging, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is not conducive to improving the efficiency of meat processing.

[0004] In order to improve the efficiency of blanching, some food processing plants usually need to be equipped with automatic blanching devices to reduce manual labor and labor costs. At present, the automatic blanching device is equipped with a conveyor belt in the blanching tank, and the discharge end of the conveyor belt can be directly extended to the outside of the blanching tank. When the food is put into the blanching tank for blanching, the food will sink into the water and fall on the conveyor belt and be transported with the conveyor belt. Finally, it is transported out with the conveyor belt to achieve automatic blanching. In this way, it is not only convenient to improve the efficiency of blanching and reduce the difficulty of manual operation, but also convenient to blanch the food evenly to ensure the quality of blanching.

[0005] However, there are some problems with the above-mentioned automatic blanching device:

[0006] 1. Since a conveyor belt is arranged inside the blanching pool, in order to ensure that the conveyor belt can rotate, there is a gap between the conveyor belt and the inner wall of the blanching pool. This causes the food to fall into the gap when it is put into the blanching pool, thereby affecting the transportation, causing the food to accumulate in the gap and causing unnecessary losses, and may also affect the subsequent blanching quality of the food.

[0007] 2. Different foods require different blanching times (for example, chicken feet or pig's trotters require different blanching times due to their different sizes). Since the length of the conveyor belt in the blanching pool is consistent, if you want to adjust the blanching time required for the food, you can only adjust the conveying speed of the conveyor belt, which is not convenient for the staff to make adjustments. In addition, if the conveying speed of the conveyor belt is too fast, it is easy for boiling water to be transported out along the conveyor belt, which may cause safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0008] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, the utility model provides a material blocking mechanism of an automatic blanching device, which is arranged between the feed plate and the conveying device of the blanching pool, so as to prevent food from falling into the gap between the conveying device and the feed plate, thereby avoiding the accumulation of food inside and affecting the blanching. At the same time, the material blocking mechanism can adjust the length to adapt to the different blanching times required for different foods, thereby ensuring the blanching quality of various foods. The whole device is simple to install and easy to use.

[0009] The utility model is implemented in this way: a material blocking mechanism of an automatic blanching device is constructed, comprising a blanching pool, one side of which is provided with a feed plate;

[0010] A conveying device is arranged inside the blanching tank and is used to automatically convey food to achieve automatic blanching;

The length of the material blocking assembly can be adjusted according to the blanching time required for different foods.

[0012] Specifically, the material blocking assembly includes a sliding assembly and a rotating assembly, one end of the sliding assembly maintains linear sliding with the blanching pool, and one end of the rotating assembly maintains rotational connection with the end of the feed plate.

[0013] Specifically, the sliding assembly includes a sliding block and a sliding plate. There are two sliding blocks, which are slidably mounted above the wall of the blanching pool. Connecting columns are arranged between the sliding blocks. One end of the sliding plate slides with the rotating assembly, and the other end is connected to the connecting column through a connecting mechanism.

[0014] Specifically, the rotating assembly is a rotating plate, one end of which is connected to the end of the feed plate through a rotating connector, a slider is provided at the bottom of the other end of the rotating plate, and a sliding groove is provided on the sliding plate to match the slider at the bottom of the rotating plate.

[0015] Specifically, the cross-sections of the slider and the slide groove are dovetail-shaped.

[0016] Specifically, the connecting mechanism includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, the first connecting rod is fixed to the bottom of the connecting column, the second connecting rod is fixed to the top of one end of the sliding plate away from the rotating assembly, and a sleeve is arranged between the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, one end of the sleeve is sleeved on the outer end of the first connecting rod to maintain sliding, and the other end of the sleeve maintains a rotational connection with the end of the second connecting rod, and the rotation direction of the sleeve and the second connecting rod is adapted to the sliding direction of the sliding assembly.

[0017] Specifically, the top of the wall of the blanching pool is provided with several positioning holes distributed in a straight line consistent with the internal material conveying direction, and the sliding block is provided with connecting holes with the same diameter as the positioning holes. The sliding block is fixed to the blanching pool by inserting an external pin into the connecting hole and any one of the positioning holes.

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention is further specifically described below through specific embodiments in combination with the accompanying drawings; it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way; the accompanying drawings in the present invention are only used to assist in the description of the embodiments and to facilitate understanding, and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way.

[0028] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification so that people familiar with this technology can understand and read them, and are not used to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Any structural modification, change in proportional relationship or adjustment of size should still fall within the scope of the technical contents disclosed in the present invention without affecting the effects and purposes that can be achieved by the present invention.

[0029] As described in the background technology, during use, the existing automatic blanching device has a gap between the conveyor belt inside the blanching tank and the inner wall of the blanching tank in order to achieve rotation. This may cause food to fall into the gap during the blanching process and affect subsequent transportation. In addition, the existing automatic blanching device is not convenient to adjust according to the blanching time required for different foods, and thus the blanching quality cannot be guaranteed.

[0030] For the reasons stated above, please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 The utility model provides a material blocking mechanism of an automatic blanching device, comprising a blanching pool 1, a feeding plate 3 is arranged on one side of the inner side;

[0031] The conveying device 2 is arranged inside the blanching pool 1 and is used for automatically conveying the food to achieve automatic blanching;

[0032] The material blocking assembly is movably arranged between the feed plate 3 and the conveying device 2 in the blanching pool 1 and is used for smoothly transferring the food from the feed plate 3 to the conveying device 2 for conveying, and the length of the material blocking assembly can be adjusted according to the blanching time required for different foods.

[0033] Specifically, the conveying device is two chains that are arranged in parallel inside the blanching pool and can realize transmission, and support rods that are arranged at intervals between the chains. The objects can fall onto the support rods and be conveyed along with the transmission of the chains.

[0034] Specifically, the material blocking assembly includes a sliding assembly and a rotating assembly, one end of the sliding assembly maintains linear sliding with the blanching pool 1, and one end of the rotating assembly maintains rotational connection with the end of the feed plate 3.

[0035] Please see attached Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 Specifically, the sliding assembly includes a sliding block 4 and a sliding plate 8. There are two sliding blocks 4, which are slidably mounted on the wall of the blanching pool 1. A connecting column 5 is arranged between the sliding blocks 4. One end of the sliding plate 8 keeps sliding with the rotating assembly, and the other end keeps connected with the connecting column 5 through a connecting mechanism.

[0036] Specifically, the rotating component is a rotating plate 10, one end of which is connected to the end of the feed plate 3 through a rotating connector, a slider is provided at the bottom of the other end of the rotating plate 10, and a sliding groove is provided on the sliding plate 8 that matches the slider at the bottom of the rotating plate 10.

[0037] Specifically, in order to prevent the rotating plate and the sliding plate from falling off when sliding, the cross-section of the slider and the slide groove is dovetail-shaped. By setting the dovetail shape, the two plates can be prevented from falling off and the linkage of the two plates can be easily achieved.

[0038] Specifically, in order to realize that the sliding plate drives the rotating plate to rotate during the linear sliding process, the connecting mechanism includes a first connecting rod 6 and a second connecting rod 9. The first connecting rod 6 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting column 5, and the second connecting rod 9 is fixed to the top of one end of the sliding plate 8 away from the rotating assembly. A sleeve 7 is arranged between the first connecting rod 6 and the second connecting rod 9. One end of the sleeve 7 is sleeved on the outer end of the first connecting rod 6 to maintain sliding, and the other end of the sleeve 7 maintains a rotational connection with the end of the second connecting rod 9. The rotation direction of the sleeve 7 and the second connecting rod 9 is adapted to the sliding direction of the sliding assembly.

[0039] Specifically, in order to achieve the fixation and movement of the sliding plate and the blanching pool, a plurality of positioning holes distributed in a straight line consistent with the internal material conveying direction are opened on the top of the pool wall of the blanching pool 1, and a connecting hole with the same diameter as the positioning hole is opened on the sliding block 4. The sliding block 4 is fixed to the blanching pool 1 by inserting an external pin into the connecting hole and any one of the positioning holes.

[0040] Before using the automatic blanching device, the length of the material blocking mechanism is adjusted in advance according to the required blanching time of the blanching food. During the adjustment process, the pin for fixing the sliding block 4 is first taken out, and then the sliding block 4 is driven to move on the wall of the blanching pool 1. During the movement, the sliding plate 8 is driven to move at the bottom of the rotating plate 10 through the connecting mechanism, thereby realizing telescoping to adjust the length, and finally the sliding block 4 is fixed by the pin.

[0041] During blanching, the food is placed on the feed plate 3 and falls onto the rotating plate 10 under the action of gravity or external thrust. The gravity of the food may drive the rotating plate 10 to rotate, but due to the sliding connection between the first connecting rod 6 and the sleeve 7 in the connecting mechanism, the rotating connection between the sleeve 7 and the second connecting rod 9, and the latch, this does not cause the sliding block 4 to move. The food continues to move on the rotating plate 10, passes through the sliding plate 8 and enters the boiling water in the blanching pool 1, and finally falls onto the conveying device 2 for blanching and transportation, thereby realizing automatic blanching.

[0042] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred feasible embodiment of the utility model, but the embodiment is not used to limit the scope of the patent application of the utility model. All equivalent changes or modified changes completed under the technical spirit suggested by the utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the utility model.
