Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of quick freezing, in particular to quick freezing equipment for producing taro balls. Background Art

[0002] Taro, also known as taro or hairy taro, contains a lot of starch, minerals, and vitamins. Taro balls made from taro are also very popular. After being cut into shapes, taro balls need to be coated with flour and quickly frozen. However, if the surface is not sprinkled with enough dry flour (such as tapioca flour), they will easily stick together during quick freezing and may even stick to the conveyor belt.

[0003] Publication No. CN218764169U discloses a quick-freezing device for taro ball production, comprising a shell, a controller is provided on one side of the shell, a workbench is provided on one side of the bottom of the shell, a conveyor belt is provided inside the workbench, the lower layer of the conveyor belt is a mesh belt, the upper layer of the conveyor belt is evenly spaced with a plurality of serial rods, the serial rods are evenly spaced with a plurality of connecting blocks, and both sides of the conveyor belt are provided with sliding connectors. This device uses the toughness and permeability of the K2W chain-belt mesh belt to ensure cold air circulation through the clamping treatment of the double-layer conveyor belt and the conveyor belt edge, and creates an independent space for the taro balls through the connecting blocks, ensuring that the material is evenly spread and not easy to roll down and accumulate, so that the taro balls are evenly cooled, and also avoids the problem that the traditional conveyor belt structure is easy to overturn during transportation.

[0040] Working principle: Before using this kind of quick freezing equipment for taro balls, it is necessary to check the overall condition of the device to ensure that it can work normally. Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, first, the taro balls coated with flour are placed on the perforated conveyor belt 205 outside the discharge port 102, so that the perforated conveyor belt 205 transports the taro balls into the quick-freezing box 1. At this time, the first cold air plate 206 and the second cold air plate 207 will cool the taro balls. At this time, the outer surface of the taro balls will harden, and some of the taro balls will stick to the perforated conveyor belt 205. As the perforated conveyor belt 205 passes the first turning roller 203, most of the taro balls fall freely onto the lifting net 303, and a small part moves with the perforated conveyor belt 205.

[0041] During this process, the electric worm 210 is started to rotate, thereby causing the worm gear 211 to drive the disc 213 to rotate through the central column 212, and then the pusher block 215 and the cleaning frame 217 are pulled back and forth horizontally by the push-pull rod 214. The pusher block 215 will push the sticky taro balls off, thereby achieving smooth production of taro balls. The extrusion wheel 221 will limit the punching conveyor belt 205, so that the scraping blade on the lifting block 220 is in contact with the punching conveyor belt 205, thereby cleaning the taro ball residue remaining on the punching conveyor belt 205, and finally keeping the punching conveyor belt 205 clean to avoid contamination caused by residue.

[0042] When the first motor 305 is started, the central shaft 306 drives the elliptical disk 307 to rotate, thereby squeezing the laminating wheel 308, and then causing the lifting net 303 to rotate upward and fall again, finally shaking off the taro balls that have fallen onto the lifting net 303 to prevent them from sticking to each other. In addition, during this process, the powder spraying nozzle 301 sprays dry powder, which, in conjunction with the cold air sprayed by the third cooling plate 302, causes the taro balls to be cooled for a second time, and the areas on the taro balls where the dry powder is thinner are filled with powder to prevent subsequent sticking.

[0043] When the taro balls fall from the lifting net 303 and move to the horizontal section of the perforated conveyor belt 205 below, they will be cooled for the third time by the first cooling plate 206 and the second cooling plate 207 below, so that the device can fully cool the taro balls.

[0044] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
