[0002] Dried white bamboo shoots are slices of bamboo shoots that have been cooked, cooled, pressed, sun-dried or baked. The bamboo shoots need to be blanched and cooled after being cooked.

[0003] In the prior art, the cooked bamboo shoots need to be removed from the pot during cooling, which is quite cumbersome. Then, they need to be cooled using air cooling. However, during this air cooling process, the surface of the food is easily affected by the dry air, causing moisture to evaporate, making the food soft and affecting the taste. Furthermore, the air cooling process makes the food surface more exposed to air, increasing the risk of oxidation. Utility Model Content

[0030] When using this structure, the cooking bamboo shoots are cooled by water cooling through the provision of cooling device 2. During the water cooling process, the water's uniform and rapid cooling effect effectively reduces the loss of moisture within the food, thereby better preserving the food's original taste and crispness. At the same time, water cooling, through direct contact with the food surface, utilizes the high specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity of water to more quickly remove heat from the food surface, achieving rapid cooling. Water cooling can lower the temperature of the food and reduce the food's contact with oxygen, thereby slowing the rate of oxidation reactions, which helps to preserve the food's color, flavor, and nutritional value.

[0031] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in order to solve the drainage problem after water cooling, improve the convenience of use, and avoid the problem of water loss and poor taste caused by long-term soaking, a lifting device 3 is provided between the water filter frame 22 and the beam 12 to drive the water filter frame 22 to move up and down linearly.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown, the lifting device 3 includes a drive box 31 and a shaft seat located in the drive box 31. The bottom of the drive box 31 is installed on the crossbeam 12. A drive shaft 33 is provided between the shaft seats. A first gear 34 is provided on the outer side of the drive shaft 33. A vertically arranged lifting screw 35 is provided in the drive box 31. A second gear 36 is provided at the bottom of the lifting screw 35. The first gear 34 is engaged with the second gear 36. A worm gear 37 is provided at the center of the drive shaft 33. A worm 38 is provided on the inner wall of the drive box 31. A driving member is also provided on the inner wall of the drive box 31. The output shaft of the driving member is connected to the worm 38, and the worm 38 is engaged with the worm gear 37. The lifting device 3 also includes a positioning plate 39. A lifting sleeve 32 is provided at the bottom of the positioning plate 39. The inner wall of the lifting sleeve 32 is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread of the lifting screw 35. The driving member drives the lifting sleeve 32 to engage the lifting screw 35, thereby realizing the lifting movement of the positioning plate 39.

[0033] Among them, the first gear 34 and the second gear 36 are bevel gears that mesh with each other, and the first gear 34 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the drive shaft 33, the lifting screw 35 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the drive shaft 33, and the lifting device 3 is evenly arranged in multiple groups between the beam 12 and the boss.

[0034] When using this structure, the lifting device 3 is provided, and the elevating water filter frame 22 is utilized, so that the water can be drained automatically after water cooling, and the recovery box 232 is provided for recycling, which facilitates operation. The driving member drives the drive shaft 33 to rotate, and the drive shaft 33 drives the first gears 34 on both sides to rotate. The first gears 34 engage and drive the second gears 36 on both sides to rotate, thereby driving the lifting screw 35 to rotate. The inner wall of the lifting sleeve 32 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread of the lifting screw 35.
