The other end of the second support delivery pipe 304 is arranged on the support pressurization housing 303.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the thawing part 2 includes a thawing tray 206 arranged on the same side as the heat exchange top outlet 105. The thawing tray 206 is movably arranged on the support collection cylinder 301 through a thawing connecting rod 207. One end of the thawing connecting rod 207 is rotatably arranged on the support collection cylinder 301, and the other end of the thawing connecting rod 207 is rotatably arranged on the thawing tray 206. A plurality of through holes for liquid to flow through are arranged on the thawing tray 206; one end of the thawing tray 206 is rotatably provided with a thawing link 205, and the other end of the thawing link 205 is rotatably arranged on the thawing fixing piece 204. The thawing fixing piece 204 is rotatably arranged on the support collection cylinder 301 through a thawing rotating shaft 203. The thawing rotating shaft 203 is connected to the output shaft of the thawing motor 201 through a thawing transmission belt 202. A thawing pressurization impeller 208 is fixedly arranged on the output shaft of the thawing motor 201, and the thawing pressurization impeller 208 is rotatably arranged in the support pressurization housing 303.

[0028] As Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the heat exchange tube 103 is connected to the inner cavities of the heat exchange water inlet 101 and the heat exchange water outlet 102. The heat exchange tube 103 is a pipe with a curved arc; flanges for connection are arranged on the heat exchange water inlet 101, the heat exchange water outlet 102, and the heat exchange bottom inlet 106.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a filter screen is arranged at one end of the first support delivery pipe 302 connected to the support collection cylinder 301; the height of the heat exchange bottom inlet 106 in the axial direction of the heat exchange water inlet 101 is lower than that of the heat exchange top outlet 105; the heat exchange tube 103 is made of copper, and the heat exchange tubes 103 are distributed in a circular array with the centers of the heat exchange water inlet 101 and the heat exchange water outlet 102; both the support collection cylinder 301 and the heat exchange housing 104 are arranged on the base 4.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 9As shown in the figure, an energy-saving thawing device with a heat exchange function disclosed by the utility model has the following working principle: The hot pepper water with high temperature after cooking hot peppers is introduced from the heat exchange water inlet 101 end, so that the hot pepper water enters the heat exchange water inlet 101. The hot pepper water entering the heat exchange water inlet 101 finally flows out and is collected through a plurality of heat exchange tubes 103 from the heat exchange water outlet 102; during this process, the thawing motor 201 is started, and the thawing motor 201 drives the thawing pressurizing impeller 208. The thawing pressurizing impeller 208 rotates to convey the thawing water for thawing in the support collection cylinder 301 from the bottom of the support collection cylinder 301 through the support conveying pipe 1 302, the support pressurizing housing 303, the support conveying pipe 2 304, and the heat exchange bottom inlet 106 to the heat exchange housing 104 until the thawing water in the heat exchange housing 104 submerges the heat exchange tubes 103, so that the high-temperature hot pepper water in the heat exchange tubes 103 exchanges heat with the thawing water in the heat exchange housing 104, cools down the high-temperature hot pepper water, and at the same time raises the temperature of the thawing water for subsequent thawing; when the thawing water in the heat exchange housing 104 completes the heat exchange, it flows out from the heat exchange top outlet 105 end to the thawing plate 206. At this time, the operator places the item to be thawed on the thawing plate 206. The thawing water that has been heated after passing through the heat exchange from the heat exchange top outlet 105 end flows out to thaw the item to be thawed on the thawing plate 206. The temperature of the water after thawing the item drops and flows into the support collection cylinder 301 for storage, and through the operation of the thawing pressurizing impeller 208 again, the thawing water circulates in the support collection cylinder 301, the support conveying pipe 1 302, the support pressurizing housing 303, the support conveying pipe 2 304, the heat exchange bottom inlet 106, the heat exchange housing 104, and the heat exchange top outlet 105 until the heat exchange work and the thawing work are completed, which not only realizes the cooling of the hot pepper water but also realizes the thawing of the frozen items, saving a large amount of energy.

[0031] While the thawing motor 201 rotates, it drives the thawing rotating shaft 203 to rotate through the thawing transmission belt 202. The rotation of the thawing rotating shaft 203 drives the thawing fixing piece 204 and then drives the thawing connecting rod 205 to pull the thawing plate 206 to swing, generating vibrations; combined with the thawing water flowing out from the heat exchange top outlet 105, the thawing of the item is made more uniform and thorough.
