[0019] Embodiment 1

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a frozen food thawing device, which includes a bracket assembly 1. An outer barrel 3 is arranged above the bracket assembly 1, and a heating device 2 is arranged below the bracket assembly 1. The heat-conducting agent contained in the outer barrel 3 is heated by the heating device 2. The outer barrel 3 is made of heat-insulating material to avoid heat loss. An inner barrel 4 is placed in the outer barrel 3, and frozen food is placed in the inner barrel 4 and thawed by adding water. The heating device 2 heats the inner barrel 4 made of heat-conducting material through the heat-conducting agent in the outer barrel 3, thereby heating the water in the inner barrel 4 and accelerating the thawing speed of the frozen food. A heat-conducting rod 5 is arranged in the outer barrel 3. The heat-conducting rod 5 is composed of a plurality of heat-conducting tubes and a ring tube. The ring tube is arranged between the outer barrel 3 and the inner barrel 4. A plurality of the heat-conducting tubes penetrate through the bottom of the inner barrel 4 and are fixedly connected to the ring tube. By arranging the heat-conducting rod 5, the water in the inner barrel 4 and the heat-conducting agent in the outer barrel 3 are connected, so that the heat of the heat-conducting agent is transferred to the water more evenly and quickly. A sealing cover 6 made of heat-insulating material is arranged on one side of the outer barrel 3 away from the bracket assembly 1. One side of the sealing cover 6 close to the bracket assembly 1 is set as a convex ring. The outer barrel 3 is sealed by clamping the convex ring in the gap between the side walls of the outer barrel 3 and the inner barrel 4, thereby avoiding heat loss and reducing the energy consumption of the device.

[0021] The bracket assembly 1 includes a base 11. One side of the base 11 is provided as a water tank. A plurality of water absorption plates 12 are arranged in the water tank of the base 11. The water absorption plates 12 are arranged vertically in the water tank. The water absorption plates 12 are composed of water absorption materials and heat conduction materials. During the thawing process, the water droplets sublimated on the surface of the outer barrel 3 drip onto the water absorption plates 12 through the bottom of the outer barrel 3. The water droplets are adsorbed by the multi-layer water absorption plates 12, preventing the condensed water from scattering to places outside the device, thus avoiding soiling the working environment and also avoiding contaminating the frozen food being thawed. When the heating device 2 is working, the outer shell will emit heat. The base 11 made of heat conduction materials transfers this heat to the water absorption plates 12. By heating the water absorption plates 12, the adsorbed moisture is dried. The heating device 2 is connected to the outer barrel 3 through a pipe passing through the base 11, a plurality of water absorption plates 12. The outer barrel 3 is arranged on the side of the base 11 away from the heating device 2. A plurality of feet installed at the bottom of the outer barrel 3 pass through a plurality of water absorption plates 12 and are placed on the base 11, so that the outer barrel 3 is placed above the water tank of the base 11, enabling the condensed water to accurately drip onto the water absorption plates 12 along the bottom of the outer barrel 3.

[0022] When the frozen food thawing device of this embodiment is specifically used, water is injected into the inner barrel 4, a heat conduction agent is injected into the outer barrel 3, and then the frozen food is placed in the inner barrel 4. The heating device 2 heats the outer barrel 3 through a pipe. The heat of the heat conduction agent in the outer barrel 3 is evenly and quickly transferred to the water in the inner barrel 4 through the provided heat conduction rod 5, thereby accelerating the thawing process of the frozen food. The outer barrel 3 is covered with a sealing cover 6 to prevent heat loss. The condensed water generated on the surface of the outer barrel 3 is received by the provided base 11, and the condensed water is adsorbed by the provided water absorption plates 12. The waste heat generated by the heating device 2 during operation is utilized by the base 11 and the water absorption plates 12 made of heat conduction materials, thereby drying the water absorption plates 12, enabling the device to continuously thaw while also saving energy consumption.
