AI Technical Summary
When thawing small pieces of meat such as chicken wings, gizzards, and feet, they tend to stick together after thawing, affecting the thawing efficiency.
The defrosting device uses an ice-collecting water basket and a cam mechanism. The defrosting basket is suspended by ropes, and the cam mechanism intermittently pushes the defrosting basket to make it swing, separating the sticky meat and draining the melted water through the lower channel, increasing the contact area with air to accelerate defrosting.
It effectively separates sticky meat, improves thawing efficiency, shortens thawing time, and prevents water soaking from affecting meat quality.

[0002] In the field of meat product processing, in order to ensure the continuous supply of raw materials, a large amount of meat is generally purchased in advance. In order to ensure the quality of the meat and extend the shelf life, the meat needs to be frozen at low temperature. The meat is taken out for thawing on the eve of processing. In order to ensure the quality of the meat product, natural thawing is a good way. Although it is slower than thawing in warm water, the nutrients are better preserved, and the color of the meat is also better. Currently, natural thawing generally involves placing the meat product in a refrigeration chamber to allow it to thaw naturally. When the meat to be thawed is small volume meat such as chicken wings, chicken gizzards and chicken claws, they will all be frozen into a large lump. After thawing, they will still stick to each other and form a pile, affecting the thawing efficiency. SUMMARY

[0007] The pushing device is a cam mechanism, and the cam of the cam mechanism intermittently pushes the thawing basket to the other side during rotation.
[0008] The cam mechanism comprises two cams, and the two cams are arranged at intervals.
[0009] The two cams are driven by a rotating shaft, and the two cams are rotationally fixed at both ends of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is driven to rotate by a power device.
[0010] The cam mechanism is fixed on the ice water receiving basket through a mounting plate. The cam mechanism is mounted on the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is fixed on the ice water receiving basket.
[0011] The ice water receiving basket is provided with upwardly extending vertical columns, and the thawing basket is hung on the vertical columns.
[0012] The vertical columns are four in number and arranged in pairs, and a horizontal rod is fixed between the two vertical columns in each pair, and the ropes are four in number, one end of each rope being fixed to the horizontal rod and the other end being fixed to the thawing basket.
[0013] The thawing basket is hung on the upper end opening of the ice water receiving basket, and the thawing basket is provided with a lower leakage passage on the bottom wall, in use, the meat in the form of ice blocks, especially small-size meat such as chicken wings, chicken gizzards and chicken claws, is put into the thawing basket for thawing, when the ice blocks are thawed, the pushing device intermittently pushes the thawing basket, the thawing basket swings, in this process, the thawed meat is separated and spread in the thawing basket, the volume of the thawed meat in contact with the air of relatively high temperature is increased, the thawing speed is accelerated, and the thawing efficiency is improved, and in the process of swinging of the thawing basket, the broken ice and water leak through the lower leakage passage, and the melted water does not soak the meat.
[0014] The pushing device is a cam mechanism, which is mature in technology, simple in structure and low in cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
