Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production technology, and in particular to an air-cooled conveying equipment for fried food. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of fried foods, the cooling step is crucial. Following frying and baking, it aims to rapidly cool the finished product to below room temperature to ensure consistent product quality. This step not only helps maintain the food's texture and flavor but also lays a solid foundation for subsequent processes such as accurate weighing and efficient packaging.

[0003] In the existing processing of fried foods, there is a lack of screening of fried foods during the air-cooling process. Fried foods, especially flour-based fried foods, contain a lot of fried debris. If these debris are not removed and are packaged directly, it will affect the quality of the product. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an air-cooled conveying device for fried foods.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A deep-fried food air-cooled cooling and conveying device includes a base with an inclined frame. The upper part of the inclined frame is connected to the base via two vibration mechanisms. Support frames are rotatably connected to both sides of the lower part of the inclined frame via rotating shafts. The other ends of the two support frames are fixedly connected to the upper part of the base. A cooling mechanism connected to the base is provided above the inclined frame. A screening screen is installed at the inner bottom of the inclined frame. A guide frame fixedly connected to the inclined frame is provided below the screening screen. A vibration motor is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inclined frame.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the vibration mechanism includes a support block fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, a vibration spring fixedly connected to the upper end of the support block, a connecting block fixedly connected to the other end of the vibration spring, and the connecting block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inclined frame.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the cooling mechanism includes a fixed plate disposed above the inclined frame. The fixed plate is supported by four support columns, each of which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base. Multiple air coolers are embedded in the fixed plate.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the sieve mesh has a rectangular aperture structure and is made of stainless steel.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the size of the guide frame needs to be larger than the size of the screening screen to avoid impurities from spilling out.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, an impurity frame is provided at the lower end of the guide frame, the impurity frame is placed at the upper end of the base, and a collection frame is provided at the lower end of the inclined frame.

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

[0013] By incorporating a sieve, fried foods can be effectively cooled and refrigerated while simultaneously removing frying debris and other impurities. This design solves the problem of insufficient sieving during the air-cooling process in existing fried food processing, significantly improving product quality and purity, and preventing frying debris from contaminating the finished product and affecting the consumer experience.

[0014] By incorporating vibration and cooling mechanisms, the vibrating motor not only enhances the flowability of food during transport, preventing accumulation and sticking, but also promotes the effectiveness of air cooling and sieving. Combined with the air cooler, this allows fried foods to cool evenly and rapidly during transport, while maintaining their texture and quality, thus improving the overall performance and efficiency of the equipment.

[0015] This invention effectively improves the processing quality of fried foods by combining the screening mesh and the vibration cooling mechanism, ensuring the purity and taste of the food. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Figures 1-2The fried food air-cooling and conveying equipment includes a base 1, an inclined frame 3, and a collection frame 8 at the lower end of the inclined frame 3 for receiving and centrally processing the air-cooled food for subsequent packaging or further processing. The upper end of the inclined frame 3 is connected to the base 1 through two vibration mechanisms to enhance the flowability of the food during the conveying process and prevent accumulation and sticking. The vibration mechanism includes a support block 2 fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1, and a vibration spring 5 fixedly connected to the upper end of the support block 2. The elastic characteristics of the vibration spring 5 enable the inclined frame 3 to generate regular vibration when subjected to driving force. The other end of the vibration spring 5 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 6, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inclined frame 3 to form a complete vibration transmission path.

[0021] The lower sides of the inclined frame 3 are rotatably connected to support frames 9 via pivots. These two support frames 9 not only provide additional stability but also allow the inclined frame 3 to maintain a certain degree of freedom during vibration, reducing frictional loss. The other ends of the two support frames 9 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1. A cooling mechanism connected to the base 1 is provided above the inclined frame 3 to quickly cool the food passing through it, maintaining its taste and quality. The cooling mechanism includes a fixed plate 12 set above the inclined frame 3. The fixed plate 12 is supported by four support columns 11, each of which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1. Multiple air coolers 13 are embedded in the fixed plate 12. These air coolers 13 blow out cold air, which directly acts on the surface of the food inside the inclined frame 3 to achieve rapid cooling.

[0022] The bottom of the inclined frame 3 is open and fitted with a screening screen 10. The screening screen 10 has a rectangular aperture structure, which is easy to clean and not prone to clogging. The screening screen 10 is made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, ensuring stability and reliability under long-term use. Below the screening screen 10, there is a guide frame 14 fixedly connected to the inclined frame 3. The guide frame 14 is used to guide the screened impurities (such as fried food scraps) into the impurity frame 7 below, preventing impurities from mixing into the finished product. The impurity frame 7 is located at the lower end of the guide frame 14 and is placed on the upper end of the base 1 for easy removal and cleaning. The size of the guide frame 14 must be larger than the size of the screening screen 10 to ensure that all impurities can be effectively collected, avoiding spillage that could cause environmental pollution or equipment failure. A vibration motor 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inclined frame 3 as the power source of the vibration system. By generating periodic vibrations, it pushes the food in the inclined frame 3 to slide down the inclined surface at a uniform speed, while promoting the effect of air cooling and screening.

[0023] When using this invention, the fried food is first conveyed to the inclined frame 3 by the upper-level transport device. Then, the vibration motor 4 is started to drive the inclined frame 3 to vibrate. The fried food will be conveyed forward with the vibration. At the same time, the air cooler 13 is started to cool the food. When the food is conveyed forward with the vibration, it will pass through the screening screen 10. The screening screen 10 can screen out the debris generated during frying and let it fall into the impurity frame 7 through the guide frame 14. The air-cooled and screened food will finally fall into the collection frame 8 for subsequent operations.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
