Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vermicelli processing, and particularly relates to vermicelli processing and cooling equipment. Background Art

[0002] Vermicelli noodles are a traditional specialty food made from sweet potatoes and other raw materials. After grinding and settling, they are processed into dried, silky strips. Each region of China has its own unique production process. The finished vermicelli noodles are off-white, yellow, or tan in color. They can be categorized by shape, such as round, thin, or wide. After cooking, the noodles need to be cooled to a suitable temperature for easy handling and drying.

[0003] After being cooked in boiling hot water in a cooking tank, vermicelli noodles need to be immediately cooled in cold water to ensure a chewy texture and achieve the desired cooking effect. A search revealed CN219141253U, a cooling device for processing sweet potato vermicelli noodles. The device comprises a conveyor platform and a frame mounted on the base of the conveyor platform. The frame is provided with a spray assembly, and a corresponding frame is provided with a fixing block for securing the spray assembly. The spray assembly is connected to a water supply device mounted on one side of the conveyor platform. The water supply device supplies water to the spray assembly, thereby cooling the cooked vermicelli noodles on the conveyor roller assembly. This prevents the long-term production process from causing water temperature increases and reducing cooling efficiency. However, this device only uses spraying to cool the cooked vermicelli noodles, resulting in low cooling efficiency and poor cooling effect. Therefore, an improved vermicelli processing cooling device has been designed. Utility Model Content

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model discloses a vermicelli processing and cooling device, used in conjunction with a vermicelli maturation box, comprising a water cooling unit 1 and an air cooling unit 2. The water cooling unit 1 comprises a water cooling box 11, in which a first conveying device 17 for conveying vermicelli is provided. The input end of the first conveying device 17 is connected to the output end of the maturation box, and the water cooling box 11 is connected to a water inlet assembly and a drainage assembly. The air cooling unit 2 comprises a frame 21, on which a second conveying device 22 for conveying vermicelli is mounted. The input end of the second conveying device 22 is connected to the output end of the first conveying device 17, and an air cooling assembly 23 is installed above the second conveying device 22. By adopting the above-mentioned structural design, the vermicelli processing and cooling equipment is used in conjunction with the vermicelli maturation box. The vermicelli matured in the maturation box is conveyed into the water cooling box 11 of the water cooling unit 1 for water cooling, and is conveyed into the second conveying device 22 of the air cooling unit 2 through the first conveying device 17 in the water cooling box 11. The air cooling component 23 above the second conveying device 22 air cools the vermicelli. After two successive water cooling and air cooling, the cooling efficiency of the vermicelli matured by water bath heating can be improved, and the taste and strength of the vermicelli can also be improved, thereby improving the processing quality of the vermicelli.

[0030] In this embodiment, the water-cooling unit 1 further includes a water-cooling box support frame 12, to which the water-cooling box 11 is connected. A material receiving plate 111 is provided above the input end of the first conveyor 17, and an outlet 112 of the water-cooling box 11 is an inclined trough-like structure. The water inlet assembly includes an inlet pipe 13 and a first water pump 14. The outlet of the inlet pipe 13 is located at the top of the water-cooling box 11. One end of the first water pump 14 is connected to the inlet pipe 13, and the other end is connected to an external water source.

[0031] In this embodiment, the drainage assembly includes two drainage pipes disposed at the bottom of the water-cooling tank 11, namely a first drainage pipe 15 and a second drainage pipe 16. The first drainage pipe 15 is disposed near the side of the maturation tank and is connected to the maturation tank. By adopting the above-described structural design, the water cooling tank 11 is supplied with cooling water via the water inlet assembly. After a period of use, the water in the water-cooling tank 11 becomes hot and needs to be replaced. The hot water is drained away through the drainage assembly, and then new cold water is pumped in. The first drainage pipe 15 is disposed near the side of the maturation tank and is connected to the maturation tank, providing the maturation tank with the water required for heating the maturation vermicelli in a water bath. This improves the utilization rate of water resources in the water-cooling tank 11 and saves more energy than transporting room-temperature water to the maturation tank.

[0032] In this embodiment, the air-cooling unit 2 also includes a spray mechanism 24, which is located at the input port of the second conveyor 22. The spray mechanism 24 can be a combination of a water pipe and a spray nozzle. The air-cooling assembly 23 includes a housing 231 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 21 and multiple fans 232 arranged along the conveying direction of the second conveyor 22. Dust screens 233 are installed on the outside of the fans 232. The air-cooling unit 2 also includes a water receiving tank 25, which is located below the second conveyor 22.

[0033] By adopting the above-mentioned structural design, a spray mechanism 24 is set at the input port of the second conveying device 22 for spraying, flushing and cooling, which can ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the vermicelli. At the same time, it is cooled again and then air-cooled. The fan 232 in the air-cooling component 23 blows cool the vermicelli on the second conveying device 22. Since there is water attached to the surface of the vermicelli, blowing can accelerate the loss of moisture, which not only has the effect of air cooling but also the effect of air drying.

[0034] Working principle: The boiling water in the aging box heats the vermicelli in a water bath for aging, and the aging vermicelli is conveyed to the first conveying device 17 in the water cooling box 11. While moving along the conveying direction, the cold water in the water cooling box 11 cools the vermicelli. The water-cooled vermicelli continues to be conveyed by the first conveying device 17 and is conveyed to the second conveying device 22 of the air cooling unit 2. The air cooling component 23 above the second conveying device 22 air cools and dries the vermicelli. After two successive water cooling and air cooling, the cooling efficiency of the vermicelli matured by water bath heating can be improved, and the taste and strength of the vermicelli can also be improved, thereby improving the processing quality of the vermicelli.
