Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of quick-frozen food production, and particularly relates to a water-draining device for quick-frozen food production. Background Art

[0002] Quick-frozen foods are made from fresh raw materials, processed appropriately and frozen rapidly. The greatest advantage of quick-frozen foods is to preserve the original quality of the food at low temperature without the aid of any preservatives and additives. However, their nutritional value cannot be compared with that of fresh fish, meat, etc. In the processing of quick-frozen foods, a water-draining device is often used to drain the excess water droplets on the surface of the quick-frozen foods to avoid affecting the quality of subsequent freezing work. However, most of the existing water-draining devices for quick-frozen food production use the method of static water drainage for the water-draining work, and the dripping speed of the water droplets is slow. When the number of foods to be drained is large, it is easy to affect the overall efficiency of the quick-frozen food production work. Content of the Utility Model

Specific embodiments

[0025] The following further elaborates on this application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-6 for a more detailed description.

[0026] An embodiment of this application discloses a water draining device for the production of frozen foods. Referring to Figures 1-6 , a water draining device for the production of frozen foods includes a water draining tank 1 with an open top, a hollow water draining cylinder 2, a threaded cylinder 20, and a driving mechanism. A drain pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the water draining tank 1. The water draining cylinder 2 is rotatably arranged inside the water draining tank 1 through a limiting component. The limiting component includes two limiting rings 11, and the two limiting rings 11 are symmetrically and fixedly installed on the outer wall of the water draining cylinder 2. Limiting grooves 18 are symmetrically formed on the side wall of the water draining tank 1, and the two limiting rings 11 are respectively rotatably installed inside the two limiting grooves 18. The normal rotation of the water draining cylinder 2 inside the water draining tank 1 can be ensured through the limiting ring 11 and the limiting groove 18;

[0027] A cover plate 4 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the water draining cylinder 2. A plurality of water draining holes 5 are equally spaced on the water draining cylinder 2 and the cover plate 4. A fixing component for fixing the cover plate 4 is arranged on the water draining cylinder 2. The fixing component includes a connecting strip 13, a bolt 16, and two fixing blocks 15. The connecting strip 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover plate 4. The two fixing blocks 15 are symmetrically and fixedly installed on the outer wall of the water draining cylinder 2. One end of the connecting strip 13 is located between the two fixing blocks 15. The bolt 16 is threadedly installed on the side wall of one of the fixing blocks 15, and a threaded hole 14 matching the bolt 16 is formed on one side of the connecting strip 13;

[0028] The threaded cylinder 20 is arranged inside the water drainage cylinder 2. Threaded grooves 17 adapted to the threaded cylinder 20 are formed in the inner side wall of the water drainage cylinder 2. The thread between the threaded cylinder 20 and the threaded grooves 17 can achieve self-locking. The condition for thread self-locking depends on the helix angle of the thread, the friction coefficient, and the load applied. The condition for thread self-locking can be calculated by the following formula: self-locking condition = friction coefficient × tan (helix angle) ≥ 1. When this condition is met, the threaded connection is self-locking. The above content is all prior art. In actual applications, the corresponding self-locking angle can be set according to the friction coefficient of the material, which will not be elaborated here. One side of the threaded cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 23. A plurality of fixing plates 22 and multiple groups of partition plates 21 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod 23. The fixing plates 22 are located between two corresponding groups of partition plates 21. One group of partition plates 21 is distributed in an annular array with the axis of the connecting rod 23 as the center;

[0029] The driving mechanism is arranged on the water drainage tank 1 and is used to drive the water drainage cylinder 2 to rotate. The driving mechanism includes a stepping motor 9, a first gear 7, and a second gear 8. The stepping motor 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water drainage tank 1 through a fixing frame 10. The first gear 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepping motor 9. One side of the water drainage cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft 6. The second gear 8 is sleeved on the side wall of the connecting shaft 6, and the second gear 8 meshes with the first gear 7.

[0030] During use, the electrical components in this application are externally connected to a power supply and a control switch when in use. The staff inserts the connecting rod 23 into the inside of the water draining cylinder 2 through the threaded cylinder 20. When the threaded cylinder 20 moves to contact the threaded groove 17 in the water draining cylinder 2, it is sufficient. The water draining cylinder 2 is opened by rotating the cover plate 4. Subsequently, the staff can place the food to be quick-frozen between two adjacent partitions 21. When a certain number of foods are placed on multiple horizontal partitions, by rotating the threaded cylinder 20 into the threaded groove 17, the threaded cylinder 20 can drive the partition 21 to rotate. Subsequently, the staff can continue to place food between two adjacent partitions 21. When foods are placed on all the partitions 21, the threaded cylinder 20 can also be completely rotated into the threaded groove 17, so that the threaded cylinder 20 can be installed on the water draining cylinder 2, and the fixing plate 22 and the partition 21 can also be fixed in the water draining cylinder 2. The cover plate 4 is rotated back to its original position, so that the connecting strip 13 moves between the two fixing blocks 15. By rotating the bolt 16 so that one end of it penetrates into the threaded hole 14 on the connecting strip 13, the position of the cover plate 4 can be fixed. By starting the stepping motor 9, the first gear 7 can be driven to rotate. The first gear 7 can drive the connecting shaft 6 to rotate through the second gear 8, so that the water draining cylinder 2 can be driven to rotate. The water draining cylinder 2 can drive the food inside to rotate. The water on the food will be thrown out under the action of centrifugal force, and then the water can be discharged through the water draining holes 5 and the drain pipe 12. When the food has been drained of water, the cover plate 4 and the threaded cylinder 20 are rotated respectively to take out the food from the partition 21, so as to be able to continue the water draining treatment of the food subsequently.

[0031] During this process, the water draining cylinder 2 can be driven to rotate by the stepping motor 9, so that the food to be frozen in the water draining cylinder 2 can be quickly drained. Through the multiple partitions 21, not only can different types of foods be stored separately, but also it can be avoided that too many foods are easily squeezed together to have a water draining blind area, improving the water draining effect and practicality of the water draining device.

[0032] Refer to Figure 4 , one side of the water draining cylinder 2 is fixedly connected with a handle 19. Through the handle 19, it is convenient for the staff to move and rotate the threaded cylinder 20.

[0033] Refer to Figures 1-4 , a handle 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover plate 4. Through the handle 3, it is convenient for the staff to pull the cover plate 4.
