Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sauce cooling technology, specifically a continuous sauce cooling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Sauce is a type of condiment, which refers to food ingredients that are added in small amounts to other foods to improve their flavor. After the sauce is processed, it usually needs to be cooled down from 80 degrees to about 25 degrees before it can be packaged. A cooling machine is required during the cooling process.

[0003] Chinese patent CN 209484924 U discloses an automatic cooling tank for sauce processing, comprising a cooling tank body, a support base fixedly installed at the bottom of the cooling tank body, an inner tank fixedly installed inside the cooling tank body, a water inlet fixedly connected to the top of the left side of the cooling tank body, and a water outlet fixedly connected to the bottom of the right side of the cooling tank body. This automatic cooling tank for sauce processing uses a vacuum pump to draw the produced sauce into the inner tank, and uses the temperature of tap water from a tap pipe to lower the temperature of the sauce, increasing the cooling rate and ensuring the freshness of the sauce. Simultaneously, the tap water pipe is a circulating pipeline, which is very water-saving during the cooling process, conserving water resources. Furthermore, this device achieves completely automated cooling of the sauce, eliminating the need for manual pouring of the sauce, reducing labor intensity, and improving the practicality of the device.

[0004] Existing cooling machines typically cool sauces by allowing them to stand in batches, which results in poor cooling continuity because continuous cooling is not possible. Therefore, a continuous sauce cooling machine is proposed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and solve the problems existing in the existing technology, this utility model proposes a continuous sauce cooler.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a continuous sauce cooler, including a support frame, a machine housing mounted on the support frame, a control panel mounted on the outer wall of the machine housing, a feed pipe mounted on the top plate of the machine housing, a conveying pipe mounted on the feed pipe, a discharge pipe mounted on the conveying pipe, and the discharge pipe mounted on the bottom plate of the machine housing. Cooling water is placed inside the machine housing, a protective cover is mounted on the side wall of the conveying pipe, a motor is mounted inside the protective cover, a rotating rod is mounted on the output shaft of the motor, the rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the conveying pipe, and a spiral is mounted on the rotating rod. The machine has a feed hopper installed on the feed pipe, a water inlet pipe installed on the side wall of the casing, a first valve installed on the water inlet pipe, and a water outlet pipe installed on the other side wall of the casing, with a second valve installed on the water outlet pipe. By pouring the sauce into the feed pipe, the rotating rod drives the spiral blades to rotate, and the spiral blades push the sauce along the feed pipe at an angle downward until it is discharged from the outlet pipe. During the process of the sauce in the feed pipe, the cooling water exchanges heat with the feed pipe, realizing rapid cooling of the sauce. The sauce can be continuously poured into the feed pipe for cooling, realizing continuous cooling of the sauce and improving the continuity of cooling.

[0007] Preferably, the side wall of the chassis has a first mounting slot and a second mounting slot, and heat insulation plates are installed on the inner walls of the first and second mounting slots. The outer wall of the chassis has a heat dissipation slot. A condenser composed of multiple metal tubes is fixedly installed inside the first mounting slot. An evaporator composed of multiple metal tubes is fixedly installed inside the second mounting slot. A first conduit is installed between the condenser and the evaporator, and an expansion valve is installed on the first conduit. A mounting box is installed on the bottom side of the chassis. A compressor is installed inside the mounting box via a base. A housing is installed inside the mounting box, and refrigerant is placed inside the housing. A second conduit is installed between the housing and the compressor. A third conduit is installed between the compressor and the condenser. A fourth conduit is installed between the housing and the evaporator. The refrigerant enters the evaporator, where the pressure suddenly decreases, changing from a high-pressure liquid to a low-pressure vapor. This process absorbs a large amount of heat, thus achieving a cooling effect. The temperature of the cooling water inside the chassis decreases, and the cooling water exchanges heat with the delivery pipe, achieving efficient cooling of the sauce and improving cooling efficiency.

[0008] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0009] 1. This utility model involves pouring sauce into a conveying pipe, rotating a rod to drive a spiral blade to rotate, and the spiral blade pushes the sauce to move obliquely downward along the conveying pipe until it is discharged from the outlet pipe. During the process of the sauce in the conveying pipe, cooling water exchanges heat with the conveying pipe, which realizes rapid cooling of the sauce. The sauce can be continuously poured into the conveying pipe for cooling, realizing continuous cooling of the sauce and improving the continuity of cooling.

[0010] 2. This utility model introduces a refrigerant into the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the pressure of the refrigerant suddenly decreases, changing from a high-pressure liquid to a low-pressure vapor. This process absorbs a large amount of heat, thereby achieving a cooling effect. The temperature of the cooling water inside the casing decreases, and the cooling water exchanges heat with the conveying pipe, achieving efficient cooling of the sauce and improving cooling efficiency.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, a continuous sauce cooler includes a support frame 1, a housing 2 mounted on the support frame 1, a control panel 3 mounted on the outer wall of the housing 2, a feed pipe 4 mounted on the top plate of the housing 2, a conveying pipe 5 mounted on the feed pipe 4, a discharge pipe 6 mounted on the conveying pipe 5, and the discharge pipe 6 mounted on the bottom plate of the housing 2. Cooling water is placed inside the housing 2. A protective cover 7 is mounted on the side wall of the conveying pipe 5, a motor 8 is installed inside the protective cover 7, a rotating rod 9 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 8, the rotating rod 9 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the conveying pipe 5, and a spiral blade 10 is mounted on the rotating rod 9. A feed hopper 11 is mounted on the feed pipe 4. A water inlet pipe 12 is mounted on the side wall of the housing 2, and a first valve 13 is mounted on the water inlet pipe 12. A water outlet pipe 14 is mounted on the other side wall of the housing 2, and a second valve 14 is mounted on the water outlet pipe 14. 5. During operation, existing cooling machines typically cool sauces by allowing them to stand in batches. This lack of continuous cooling results in poor cooling continuity. By pouring the sauce into the feed hopper 11, the sauce flows along the feed pipe 4 into the conveying pipe 5. The control panel 3 controls the motor 8, which rotates the rotating rod 9. The rotating rod 9 then rotates the spiral blades 10, which push the sauce diagonally downwards along the conveying pipe 5 until it is discharged from the outlet pipe 6. During the process of the sauce in the conveying pipe 5, cooling water is placed inside the machine casing 2, surrounding the conveying pipe 5 and exchanging heat with it, achieving rapid cooling of the sauce. The sauce can be continuously poured into the conveying pipe 5 for cooling, achieving continuous cooling and improving the continuity of cooling.

[0020] Please see Figure 4-5As shown, the chassis 2 has a first mounting slot 16 and a second mounting slot 17 inside its side wall. Heat insulation plates 18 are installed on the inner walls of the first mounting slot 16 and the second mounting slot 17. A heat dissipation groove 23 is provided on the outer wall of the chassis 2. A condenser 19, composed of multiple metal tubes, is fixedly installed inside the first mounting slot 16. An evaporator 20, also composed of multiple metal tubes, is fixedly installed inside the second mounting slot 17. A first conduit 21, also composed of multiple metal tubes, is installed between the condenser 19 and the evaporator 20. An expansion valve 22 is installed on the first conduit 21. A heat dissipation groove 23 is installed on the bottom side of the chassis 2. The mounting box 24 houses a compressor 25 mounted inside via a base. A housing 26 containing refrigerant is also installed inside the mounting box 24. A second conduit connects the housing 26 and the compressor 25, a third conduit 27 connects the compressor 25 and the condenser 19, and a fourth conduit 28 connects the housing 26 and the evaporator 20. During operation, existing cooling machines typically use static cooling to cool sauces, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Water is introduced through the inlet pipe 1... 2. The refrigerant is poured into casing 2. Compressor 25 draws in refrigerant (Freon) from casing 26 and compresses it into a high-pressure gas. During this process, the refrigerant's pressure and temperature both increase. The high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant then enters condenser 19. Multiple metal tubes in condenser 19 allow the refrigerant to dissipate heat. Contact with outside air lowers the refrigerant's temperature, transforming it into a low-temperature, high-pressure liquid. This low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant then enters evaporator 20 through expansion valve 22. The working principle of expansion valve 22 is based on the material... Due to its thermal expansion properties, when the low-temperature refrigerant passes through the expansion valve 22, the internal thermistor expands as the temperature rises, thereby reducing the throttling orifice, limiting the refrigerant's flow rate, and lowering its pressure to achieve a cooling effect. The evaporator 20 consists of multiple metal tubes. Inside the evaporator 20, the refrigerant pressure suddenly decreases, changing from a high-pressure liquid to a low-pressure vapor. This process absorbs a large amount of heat, thus achieving a cooling effect. The cooling water temperature inside the casing 2 decreases, and the cooling water exchanges heat with the feed pipe 5, achieving efficient cooling of the sauce and improving cooling efficiency.

[0021] Working principle: Existing cooling machines typically cool sauces by letting them stand in batches, which results in poor cooling continuity due to the inability to continuously cool the sauces. By pouring the sauce into the feed hopper 11, the sauce flows along the feed pipe 4 into the conveying pipe 5. The control panel 3 controls the motor 8, which rotates the rotating rod 9. The rotating rod 9 drives the spiral blades 10, which push the sauce diagonally downwards along the conveying pipe 5 until it is discharged from the outlet pipe 6. During the process of the sauce in the conveying pipe 5, cooling water is placed inside the machine casing 2, surrounding the conveying pipe 5 and exchanging heat with it, achieving rapid cooling of the sauce. The sauce can be continuously poured into the conveying pipe 5 for cooling, achieving continuous cooling and improving the continuity of cooling. Existing cooling machines typically use a static cooling method for sauce cooling, which... The previous method involved a long cooling time, resulting in low cooling efficiency. Water is injected into the casing 2 through the inlet pipe 12. The compressor 25 draws in refrigerant (Freon) from the housing 26 and compresses it into a high-pressure gas. During this process, the refrigerant's pressure and temperature increase. The high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant then enters the condenser 19. Multiple metal tubes in the condenser 19 allow the refrigerant to dissipate heat. Contact with outside air lowers the refrigerant's temperature, transforming it into a high-pressure liquid. This high-pressure liquid refrigerant then enters the evaporator 20 through the expansion valve 22. The evaporator 20, composed of multiple metal tubes, experiences a sudden pressure drop, transforming from a high-pressure liquid into a low-pressure vapor. This process absorbs a large amount of heat, achieving cooling. The cooling water temperature inside the casing 2 decreases, and the cooling water exchanges heat with the feed pipe 5, achieving efficient cooling of the sauce and improving overall cooling efficiency.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
