[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model;

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-4, in the present utility model: A cooling mechanism for potato chip processing, comprising a box body 1, a feed inlet 2 is provided at the top of the box body 1, two rotating tubes 3 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box body 1, two motors 4 are fixedly connected to the back of the box body 1, the output shafts of the two motors 4 both penetrate the box body 1 and are respectively fixedly connected to the two rotating tubes 3, guide plates 5 fixedly connected thereto are sleeved on the two rotating tubes 3, one side of each of the two guide plates 5 is inclined downward, two air blowing boxes 6 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 1, air outlet grooves 7 arranged at equal intervals are provided at the bottom of each of the two air blowing boxes 6, an air intake mechanism 8 is arranged on the front of the box body 1, and the front of the air intake mechanism 8 is respectively connected to the two air blowing boxes 6, exhaust grooves 9 are provided on both the left and right sides of the box body 1, filter nets are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two exhaust grooves 9, a discharge port 10 is provided on the right side of the box body 1, and a conveyor belt 11 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the box body 1; The air intake mechanism 8 includes a cooling box 801, the back of the cooling box 801 is fixedly connected to the box body 1, two fans 802 are embedded on both the left and right sides of the cooling box 801, two filter plates 803 and two refrigerating sheets 804 are inserted through the front of the cooling box 801, the refrigerating surfaces of the two refrigerating sheets 804 penetrate and are arranged inside the cooling box 801, the top of the cooling box 801 is communicated with an air intake box 805 through a conduit, the back of the air intake box 805 is communicated with two air inlet pipes 806, and one end of the back of each of the two air inlet pipes 806 penetrates the box body 1 and is respectively communicated with the two air blowing boxes 6.

[0028] In the present utility model, during the potato chip processing, the potato chips enter the interior of the box body 1 from the feed inlet 2. The potato chips will first fall on the top guide plate 5. The guide plate 5 is inclined. The potato chips will fall from the top guide plate 5 onto the top guide plate 5, and then the potato chips will fall on the top of the conveyor belt 11. During the sliding process of the potato chips, the user turns on the fan 802 and the refrigerating sheet 804. The refrigerating sheet 804 will cool the air inside the cooling box 801. The cooled air will then be driven by the fan 802 into the air intake box 805. The cold air will then flow into the air blowing box 6 from the air inlet pipe 806. The cold air will then be sprayed from the air outlet groove 7 onto the surface of the sliding potato chips, thereby realizing the cooling of the potato chips. The cooled potato chips will then be carried into the next process by the conveyor belt 11, realizing the automatic feeding of the potato chips;

[0029] The size and thickness of the potato chips will affect the cooling speed of the potato chip surface. The user can drive the rotation of the rotating tube 3 by turning on the motor 4. Then the guide plate 5 will rotate. The greater the inclination degree of the guide plate 5, the faster the potato chips slide downward, and vice versa. By controlling the sliding time of the potato chips, the cooling time of the potato chips by the cold air can be controlled, thereby realizing the control of the cooling effect on the potato chip surface, which is beneficial for the device to cool potato chips of different sizes and thicknesses, and thus improving the practicability of the device.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2, wherein: A control motor 4, a controller 12 for controlling the opening and closing of the blower 802 and the thermoelectric cooler 804 are installed on the left side of the box body 1.

[0031] In the present utility model, the setting of the controller 12 can facilitate the user to control the opening and closing of the motor 4, the blower 802 and the thermoelectric cooler 804, thereby improving the practicability of the device.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 3 , wherein: An infrared temperature sensor 13 is installed on the inner wall of the box body 1, and the output end of the infrared temperature sensor 13 is signal-connected to the controller 12.

[0033] In the present utility model, the setting of the infrared temperature sensor 13 can be used to detect the temperature of the potato chips sliding down from the top guide plate 5. Under normal circumstances, the temperature of the potato chips after sliding over the top guide plate 5 will be at a normal value. For the potato chips within the normal value range, after sliding over the bottom guide plate 5, the temperature of the potato chips will reach the specified temperature. If the temperature exceeds the normal value, the motor 4 on the right side will start to drive the right rotating tube 3 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the inclination angle of the bottom guide plate 5 will decrease, thereby prolonging the falling speed of the potato chips, enhancing the cooling effect on the potato chips, enabling the temperature of the potato chips to reach the specified temperature, and thus improving the practicability of the device.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 2-4 , wherein: One end of the front surface of the rotating tube 3 penetrates through the box body 1 and is connected to the air inlet box 805. One end of the front surface of the rotating tube 3 is rotatably connected to the air inlet box 805. The guide plate 5 is arranged in the air. A circular tube 14 is communicated between the guide plate 5 and the rotating tube 3. Equally spaced through slots 15 are formed in the top of the guide plate 5.

[0035] In the present utility model, since the rotating tube 3 is communicated with the air inlet box 805, the cooling air inside the air inlet box 805 will enter the inside of the rotating tube 3. Then, the cold air will enter the guide plate 5 through the circular tube 14, and then the cooling air will spray onto the potato chips through the through slots 15, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the potato chips and effectively improving the efficiency of cooling the potato chips.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , wherein: An electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the box body 1. One end of the front surface of the electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to a feeding hopper 17, and the bottom of the feeding hopper 17 is communicated with the feeding port 2.

[0037] In the present utility model, during use, the potato chips that need to be cooled will fall from the feeding hopper 17 into the feeding port 2. The user can change the position of the feeding hopper 17 by turning on the electric push rod 16, thereby enabling the potato chips to evenly fall on the surface of the guide plate 5, avoiding the accumulation of potato chips, and thus improving the uniformity of cooling the potato chips and enhancing the cooling effect of the device on the potato chips.

[0038] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present utility model; however, the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its improved concept, making equivalent substitutions or changes, should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
