Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a food processing cooling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Some foods require overall heating during processing, followed by cooling before packaging and other subsequent processing. Most existing food processing equipment uses fans for cooling. This cooling method has the following disadvantages:

[0003] Current food cooling systems typically include a belt conveyor with a fan mounted on top. As the food moves along the conveyor, the fan blows air directly onto it for cooling. However, because the fan's position is fixed, the cooling range is limited, and cooling food with a fan alone is not very effective. Furthermore, the conveyor's height is not adjustable, making it unsuitable for food processing equipment with varying discharge port heights. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a food processing cooling mechanism, comprising a U-shaped base, a belt conveyor installed inside the U-shaped base, two lifting support assemblies installed on both sides of the upper surface of the U-shaped base, a top cover fixed to the top of the U-shaped base, a cooling coil fixedly installed inside the top cover, multiple air supply assemblies installed on the top wall of the top cover, a water tank fixed to the lower surface of the U-shaped base, and a pump body connecting the water tank and the cooling coil installed on the outer wall of the water tank, a refrigeration assembly installed on the bottom wall of the water tank, and a stirring assembly installed on the side of the water tank away from the pump body.

[0006] Furthermore, the lifting support assembly includes two vertical rods fixed to the lower surface of the U-shaped seat and an electric telescopic rod, with the electric telescopic rod located between the two vertical rods. The bottom surfaces of the two vertical rods are slidably fitted with sleeves, and the top ends of the two sleeves are jointly fixedly connected to a crossbar. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the crossbar.

[0007] Furthermore, the air supply assembly includes an air duct fixed to the top wall of the hood, and the air duct is designed to be inclined, with a fan installed at the top of the air duct.

[0008] Furthermore, the pump body inlet is connected to the inside of the water tank via a pipe, the pump body outlet is connected to one end of the cooling coil via a pipe, and the other end of the cooling coil is connected to the water tank.

[0009] Furthermore, the cooling assembly includes a plurality of semiconductor cooling chips fixed to the lower surface of the water tank. The semiconductor cooling chips have a plurality of first fins fixed on their cooling side and the first fins extend into the interior of the water tank. The semiconductor cooling chips have a plurality of second fins fixed on their heat dissipation side.

[0010] Furthermore, an inlet pipe and a drain pipe are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the side wall of the water tank, respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the stirring assembly includes a motor fixed to the outer wall of the water tank, and the motor output shaft is fixedly connected to stirring blades through the side wall of the water tank.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In use, this utility model relates to a food processing cooling mechanism comprising a U-shaped base, a belt conveyor, a top cover, a cooling coil, an air supply component, a water tank, a pump body, and a refrigeration component. The refrigeration component continuously cools the water in the water tank, and the pump body pumps the cold water into the cooling coil. The air supply component includes an air duct and a fan that are inclinedly mounted on the top cover. Therefore, when food is conveyed by the belt conveyor, the fan can blow the low temperature from the surface of the cooling coil onto the food surface, thus cooling the food. Furthermore, due to the inclined design of the fan and air duct, the cold air continuously flows along the surface of the belt conveyor, ensuring that the food is continuously cooled on the belt conveyor, thereby improving cooling efficiency.

[0014] In use, this utility model provides a food processing cooling mechanism with a U-shaped base and two lifting support components. The two lifting support components can drive the two ends of the U-shaped base to rise and fall independently, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the mechanism. This allows the mechanism to be matched with the discharge port of food production equipment of different heights, improving its versatility. Attached Figure Description

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a food processing cooling mechanism is disclosed, including a U-shaped base 1, a belt conveyor 2 installed inside the U-shaped base 1, two lifting support assemblies 3 installed on both sides of the upper surface of the U-shaped base 1, a top cover 4 fixed on the top of the U-shaped base 1, a cooling coil 5 fixedly installed inside the top cover 4, multiple air supply assemblies 6 installed on the top wall of the top cover 4, a water tank 7 fixed on the lower surface of the U-shaped base 1, and a pump body 8 connecting the water tank 7 and the cooling coil 5 installed on the outer wall of the water tank 7, a refrigeration assembly 9 installed on the bottom wall of the water tank 7, and a stirring assembly installed on the side of the water tank 7 away from the pump body 8.

[0024] The lifting support assembly 3 includes two vertical rods 31 fixed to the lower surface of the U-shaped seat 1 and an electric telescopic rod 34. The electric telescopic rod 34 is located between the two vertical rods 31. The bottom surfaces of the two vertical rods 31 are slidably fitted with sleeves 32. The top ends of the two sleeves 32 are fixedly connected to a crossbar 33. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 34 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 33.

[0025] The electric telescopic rod 34 drives the horizontal bar 33 to move up and down, which in turn drives the sleeve 32 to move along the vertical rod 31, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the end of the U-shaped seat 1.

[0026] The air supply assembly 6 includes an air duct 61 fixed to the top wall of the top cover 4, and the air duct 61 is designed to be inclined, with a fan 62 installed at the top of the air duct 61.

[0027] The fan 62 can blow cold air from the surface of the cooling coil 5 onto the belt conveyor 2, thereby cooling the food on the surface of the belt conveyor 2.

[0028] The pump body 8 has its inlet connected to the inside of the water tank 7 via a pipe, and its outlet is connected to one end of the cooling coil 5 via a pipe. The other end of the cooling coil 5 is connected to the water tank 7.

[0029] The pump body 8 can pump the cooled water from the water tank 7 into the cooling coil 5.

[0030] The cooling assembly 9 includes a plurality of semiconductor cooling chips 91 fixed to the lower surface of the water tank 7. Several first fins 92 are fixed on the cooling side of the semiconductor cooling chip 91 and extend into the interior of the water tank 7. Several second fins 93 are fixed on the heat dissipation side of the semiconductor cooling chip 91.

[0031] Thus, the water inside the water tank 7 can be cooled by the semiconductor cooling chip 91.

[0032] The top and bottom of the side wall of the water tank 7 are respectively fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe 10 and the drain pipe 11.

[0033] Water can be added to the water tank 7 through the inlet pipe 10, and water can be drained from the water tank 7 through the drain pipe 11. In this embodiment, both the inlet pipe 10 and the drain pipe 11 are equipped with valves.

[0034] The stirring assembly includes a motor 12 fixed to the outer wall of the water tank 7, and the output shaft of the motor 12 passes through the side wall of the water tank 7 and is fixedly connected to a stirring blade 13.

[0035] The water in the water tank 7 can be stirred by the stirring blade 13 driven by the motor 12, so as to ensure that the water temperature in the water tank 7 is uniform.

[0036] Working principle: The two lifting support components 3 can drive the U-shaped seat 1 to lift and lower at both ends independently. When cooling food, one end of the belt conveyor 2 is placed below the discharge port of the food processing equipment. As the food moves along the belt conveyor 2, the cooling component 9 continuously cools the water tank 7. The pump body 8 continuously pumps the water in the water tank 7 into the cooling coil 5. The fan 62 then blows the low temperature on the surface of the cooling coil 5 onto the food to cool it. The water that enters the cooling coil 5 returns to the water tank 7 from the other end for circulation and cooling.
