Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of quick-freezing equipment, and more specifically, to a spiral quick-freezing machine. Background Art

[0002] Spiral quick freezer is a type of quick freezing equipment, which is widely used in the food processing industry. It can quickly freeze food. The spiral quick freezer includes a conveyor belt, a shell and a refrigeration mechanism. A power device that provides power for the conveyor belt is fixed on the shell. The conveyor belt is spirally arranged. The shell is provided with a feed port and a discharge port. Food enters from the feed port and is processed by the refrigeration mechanism on the conveyor belt to be frozen. Finally, the food leaves the quick freezer from the discharge port and is collected.

[0003] During the quick-freezing process of food, some debris will remain on the conveyor belt. When passing through the freezing mechanism, this part of the debris will stick to the conveyor belt. In order to prevent the debris from deteriorating and affecting the safety of food in the quick-freezer, people need to clean the conveyor belt regularly. When cleaning the conveyor belt, the quick-freezer needs to be powered off before cleaning the quick-freezer. During the cleaning period, the quick-freezer cannot be used, affecting the production efficiency of the quick-freezer.

[0004] Therefore, new solutions need to be proposed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] Spiral quick freezer, such as Figure 1The utility model comprises a shell 1 and a spiral conveyor belt 2. A cleaning mechanism is provided in the shell 1 below the conveyor belt 2. A power device 3 for providing power for the cleaning mechanism is provided at one end thereof. A collecting bucket 4 for collecting debris is provided below the cleaning mechanism. An opening for the collecting bucket 4 to pass through is opened on the shell 1. A cover plate 5 for closing the opening is rotatably connected to the shell 1. When the quick-freezing machine is in use, the power device 3 can be started to drive the cleaning mechanism to clean the conveyor belt 2. When the quick-freezing machine is in the process of quick-freezing food, the cleaning mechanism can simultaneously clean the conveyor belt 2, so that people do not need to stop the quick-freezing machine to clean the conveyor belt 2, which can effectively improve the production efficiency of the quick-freezing machine. After the cleaning mechanism has been running for a period of time, people can open the cover plate 5, take the collecting bucket 4 out of the shell 1 through the opening, and then dump the debris. The setting of the collecting bucket 4 makes it easy to collect the debris cleaned by the cleaning mechanism from the conveyor belt 2. The setting of the cover plate 5 can better prevent the heat exchange of the air inside and outside the shell 1, thereby maintaining the temperature inside the shell 1.

[0020] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning roller 6, a piece 7 detachably connected to the cleaning roller 6, and bristles 8 fixed on the piece 7. After the cleaning mechanism is used for a long time, some of the bristles 8 will be deformed. At this time, people need to maintain the cleaning mechanism. The piece 7 can be removed from the cleaning roller 6, and then a new piece 7 can be installed on the cleaning roller 6 to complete the replacement of the bristles 8. The bristles 8 are fixed to the piece 7 and the piece 7 and the cleaning roller 6 are arranged to be detachably connected, which makes the replacement of the bristles 8 more convenient. The rotation direction of the cleaning roller 6 is opposite to the travel direction of the conveyor belt 2. This arrangement makes the force of the bristles 8 acting on the debris attached to the conveyor belt 2 greater, which is more conducive to the bristles 8 sweeping the debris off the conveyor belt 2. The power unit 3 is mounted outside the shell 1 by bolts, and one end of the cleaning roller 6 passes through the shell 1 and is connected to the power unit 3 through a coupling. This arrangement makes the power unit 3 exposed outside the shell 1 The heat generated by the power device 3 when it is running is directly dissipated into the air outside the housing 1, which is not easy to affect the temperature inside the housing 1, and can reduce the impact of the cleaning mechanism on food freezing when it is running. A T-shaped groove 9 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the cleaning roller 6, and the T-shaped groove 9 is communicated with the side wall of the cleaning roller 6. The piece 7 is provided with an inlay 10 embedded in the T-shaped groove 9. When removing the piece 7, the inlay 10 is slid out along the T-shaped groove 9 to separate the piece 7 from the cleaning roller 6, and the disassembly of the piece 7 is completed. After aligning the inlay 10 on the new piece 7 with the T-shaped groove 9, it is inserted along the T-shaped groove 9 to install the piece 7 on the cleaning roller 6. The arrangement of the T-shaped groove 9 and the inlay 10 makes it convenient to disassemble and assemble the piece 7 and the cleaning roller 6. The length of the inlay 10 is less than the length of the piece 7, and the length of the T-shaped groove 9 is equal to the length of the inlay 10. This arrangement makes the T-shaped groove 9 not communicate with the side walls at both ends of the cleaning roller 6.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, a bracket 11 is provided in the housing 1, and a bearing 12 is provided on the end of the cleaning roller 6 away from the power device 3. A groove 13 is provided on the bracket 11 to be inserted by the bearing 12. The cross section of the groove 13 is U-shaped, and the groove 13 is provided on the top surface of the bracket 11. The setting of the bearing 12 converts the sliding friction between the cleaning roller 6 and the inner wall of the groove 13 into rolling friction, which can better protect the cleaning roller 6 and the bracket 11. When the cleaning roller 6 needs to be maintained, the power device 3 is first removed from the housing 1 to separate it from the cleaning roller 6, and then the bearing 12 is slid out of the bracket 11 along the inner wall of the groove 13 to complete the cleaning of the cleaning roller 6. Disassembly. After completing the maintenance of the cleaning roller 6, align the bearing 12 with the groove 13 and insert it, and then connect the power unit 3 to one end of the cleaning roller 6 to complete the installation of the cleaning roller 6. At this time, under the action of gravity, the cleaning roller 6 prompts the bearing 12 to conflict with the bottom wall of the groove 13. The opening of the groove 13 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the bearing 12. The cleaning roller 6 is made of aluminum alloy material. Specifically, the cleaning roller 6 is formed by processing and manufacturing aluminum alloy material with a grade of 3003. The 3003 aluminum alloy still has good strength in a low temperature environment, so that the cleaning roller 6 made of this material can better adapt to the working environment of the quick freezer.
