Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of konjac flour processing, and in particular to an automatic cooling device for konjac noodles. Background Technology

[0002] Konjac flour is made from konjac powder, which is then puffed and extruded to form noodles. It typically requires high-temperature cooking, draining, and then further drying before packaging. Because the drying process exposes the konjac flour to air, a secondary sterilization process is necessary after packaging to ensure food safety. To prevent direct contact between the konjac flour and its packaging, current processes usually involve immersing the konjac flour and its packaging in water at approximately 85°C for 5-10 minutes. During this sterilization process, the konjac flour remains sealed within the bag, preventing recontamination.

[0003] After heat sterilization, the high temperature may damage the packaging box if it is directly packed into boxes, and may also cause burns to the staff. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cooling device to cool the packaged konjac powder to room temperature. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an automatic cooling device for konjac noodles, which solves the problem of needing to cool konjac noodles to room temperature after high-temperature sterilization.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an automatic cooling device for konjac noodles, including a frame, a pool body on the frame body, a cooling liquid in the pool body, a ramp frame at one end of the pool body, a first conveyor belt device on the ramp frame, a first air nozzle at the upper end of the pool body, the first air nozzle facing downwards towards the side close to the ramp frame, and a water spray nozzle facing upwards towards the side of the first conveyor belt device at the lower end of the pool body.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, a translational conveyor is provided on one side of the first conveyor belt device, a second conveyor belt device is provided inside the translational conveyor device, and a downward-facing second air nozzle is provided at the upper end of the translational conveyor device.

[0007] In the preferred embodiment, a circulation pump is also provided. The circulation pump has a suction pipe and an outlet pipe. One end of the suction pipe is connected to the bottom of the pool body, and multiple spray nozzles are connected to the outlet pipe.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the first conveyor belt device includes a first driving wheel and a first driven wheel, and also includes a first perforated belt that passes around the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the second conveyor belt device includes a second driving wheel, a second driven wheel, and a second perforated belt. The second perforated belt passes around the second driving wheel and the second driven wheel. A ramp is provided below the second perforated belt, and a collection box is provided at the lower end of the ramp.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the pool body uses water spray nozzles to guide the packaged konjac powder to gather towards the subsequent process side, without the need for an additional drive mechanism; a hollowed-out conveyor belt mechanism is used, which, together with air spray nozzles, initially dries the moisture on the surface of the packaging bags; a hollowed-out second conveyor belt device, together with air spray nozzles, further dries the residual moisture during the transmission process, preventing the packaging from getting wet in the box during packing.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] like Figure 1-4 Among them, an automatic cooling device for konjac noodles includes a frame 1, a pool 2 on the frame 1, a cooling liquid in the pool 2, a ramp 3 at one end of the pool 2, a first conveyor belt device 6 on the ramp 3, a first air nozzle 4 at the upper end of the pool 2, the first air nozzle 4 facing downwards towards the side close to the ramp 3, and a water spray nozzle 201 facing upwards towards the side of the first conveyor belt device 6 at the lower end of the pool 2.

[0018] Packaged konjac noodles fall from the previous disinfection station into pool 2 via an upward-sloping conveyor. The cooling liquid is low-temperature water. After being cooled, the packaged konjac noodles are pushed towards one side of the first conveyor belt device 6 by the liquid sprayed from the spray nozzle 201, and finally reach the bottom of the first conveyor belt device 6. They are then transferred to the next station by the first conveyor belt device 6. During the transfer, the moisture on the surface of the packaging bag is dried by the air blown by the first air nozzle 4.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, a translational conveyor 7 is provided on one side of the first conveyor belt device 6, a second conveyor belt device 701 is provided inside the translational conveyor 7, and a downward-facing second air nozzle 8 is provided at the upper end of the translational conveyor 7.

[0020] Packaged konjac noodles fall from the top of the first conveyor belt device 6 onto the second conveyor belt device 701 inside the translational conveyor device 7. During the conveying process on the second conveyor belt device 701, the surface moisture is continuously dried by the airflow from the second air nozzle 8. The translational conveyor device 7 has a discharge port 9 at the end away from the pool body 2.

[0021] In the preferred embodiment, a circulation pump 5 is also provided. The circulation pump 5 is provided with a suction pipe 501 and an outlet pipe 502. One end of the suction pipe 501 is connected to the bottom of the pool body 2, and multiple spray nozzles 201 are connected to the outlet pipe 502.

[0022] The circulation pump 5 draws water from the lower end of the pool body 2 and distributes it to each spray nozzle 201 through the outlet pipe 502. The spray nozzle 201 sprays the water back into the pool body 2, completing the water circulation.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the first conveyor belt device 6 includes a first driving wheel 601 and a first driven wheel 602, and also includes a first perforated belt 603, which passes around the first driving wheel 601 and the first driven wheel 602.

[0024] A drive motor is connected to one side of the first drive wheel 601. The first perforated belt 603 is provided with multiple mesh holes. Water on the packaging bag is blown onto the surface of the first perforated belt 603 by the first air nozzle 4 and drips through the mesh holes into the inclined frame 3 and flows back into the pool body 2.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the second conveyor belt device 701 includes a second driving wheel 702, a second driven wheel 703, and a second perforated belt 704. The second perforated belt 704 passes around the second driving wheel 702 and the second driven wheel 703. A ramp 705 is provided below the second perforated belt 704, and a collection box 706 is provided at the lower end of the ramp 705.

[0026] The second perforated strip 704 also has multiple mesh holes. The water on the surface of the packaging bag is dried by the second air nozzle 8. A small amount of residual water droplets on the lower surface of the packaging bag drips through the mesh holes onto the ramp plate 705 and then flows into the collection box 706.

[0027] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of this utility model and should not be considered as limitations on this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be the technical solution described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
