[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crayfish processing technology, specifically to a crayfish precooling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Crayfish (scientific name Procambarus clarkii) is a crustacean. Crayfish is a popular food in people's daily lives. In the crayfish processing, quick-freezing is an extremely important step. A pre-cooling machine is a device used to quickly cool equipment and ingredients. It mainly achieves rapid and efficient cooling through vacuum cooling technology. In the quick-freezing of crayfish, pre-cooling machines are usually used. With the continuous development of crayfish quick-freezing technology, various quick-freezing machines have emerged, such as a crayfish pre-cooling machine.
[0003] Currently, crayfish pre-cooling machines on the market mainly focus on improving refrigeration technology. Existing crayfish pre-cooling machines generally consist of a cabinet, refrigeration system, control system, placement rack, and placement tray. Crayfish are placed in the placement tray and then placed in the placement rack for quick freezing. However, the bottom of the placement tray is in contact with the crayfish, making it difficult for moisture at the bottom of the crayfish to dissipate. Existing pre-cooling machines generally need to meet the requirement that the cooling substance is rich in water molecules and that the water molecules can easily evaporate and escape from the core to the surface. This can cause small differences in cooling temperature at the bottom of the crayfish, damaging the food. Therefore, a crayfish pre-cooling machine that can use a net frame to hold the crayfish is proposed, which is conducive to the even dissipation of moisture inside the crayfish and reduces food damage. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a crayfish pre-cooling machine that can use a net frame to hold the crayfish, which is beneficial for the even dissipation of internal moisture and reduces food damage. It solves the problem that existing pre-cooling machines generally require the cooling substance to be rich in water molecules, and the water molecules are easy to evaporate and escape from the core to the surface, which will cause a small difference in cooling temperature at the bottom of the crayfish and damage the food.
[0005] To achieve the goal of using a net to hold crayfish, which facilitates the even loss of internal moisture and reduces food damage, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a crayfish pre-cooling machine, including a pre-cooling cabinet, wherein a refrigeration system is installed inside the pre-cooling cabinet, a control system is installed outside the pre-cooling cabinet, and a placement mechanism is installed inside the pre-cooling cabinet;
[0006] The placement mechanism includes a support frame, fixing blocks, a placement frame, a placement plate, a slot, a first net, a second net, and a guide rail.

[0007] Furthermore, two permanent magnets are fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame, and both permanent magnets are located at the top of the guide rail.
[0008] Furthermore, the pre-cooling cabinet has a hinged door at the front, a transparent window on the outside of the door, and a handle on the outside of the door.
[0009] Furthermore, the exterior of the pre-cooling cabinet is equipped with an electromagnetic lock, and the interior of the movable door is equipped with a magnetic component compatible with the electromagnetic lock.
[0010] Furthermore, the number of fixed blocks is several, with four fixed blocks forming a group, and the several fixed blocks divided into eight groups.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the support frame is provided with a sliding groove that is compatible with the guide rail.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This crayfish pre-cooling machine, through its placement mechanism, allows for the following steps: After cleaning the support frame, it slides into the pre-cooling cabinet via guide rails. A portion of crayfish is placed on the second net inside the placement frame. The placement plate is then inserted into the slot of the placement frame, and a second portion of crayfish is placed on top of the first net. This ensures the bottom of the crayfish is in contact with the air, facilitating moisture dissipation. The placement frame is then secured to four fixed blocks, the movable door is closed, and the refrigeration system is activated via the control system, allowing the crayfish to evenly dissipate moisture. This placement mechanism, using a net to hold the crayfish, promotes even moisture loss from the crayfish's interior, reducing food damage. Attached Figure Description

By setting eight groups of fixed blocks 402, more crayfish can be placed. Since the precooling machine has high energy consumption, it is beneficial to save energy by putting in more crayfish at once.
[0025] In the implementation of this case, the control system 3 is electrically connected to all electronic components in this patent via wires, thereby controlling all electronic components in this patent by operating the control system 3.
[0026] When implementing this procedure, please follow these steps:
[0027] 1) When it is necessary to pre-cool the crayfish, clean the support frame 401 and slide it into the pre-cooling cabinet 1 through the guide rail 408.
[0028] 2) Then place a serving of crayfish on the inner net 407 of the placement frame 403;
[0029] 3) Insert the placement plate 404 into the slot 405 of the placement frame 403, and place the second batch of crayfish on top of the net 406, so that the bottom of the placed crayfish is in contact with the air and can easily dissipate moisture;
[0030] 4) Finally, place the placement frame 403 onto the four fixed blocks 402, then close the movable door 6, and turn on the refrigeration system 2 through the control system 3 so that the crayfish can evenly release moisture.
[0031] In summary, this crayfish pre-cooling machine, through the placement mechanism 4, allows for the following steps when crayfish need to be pre-cooled: the support frame 401 is cleaned and then slid into the pre-cooling cabinet 1 via the guide rail 408. A portion of crayfish is then placed on the second net 407 inside the placement frame 403. The placement plate 404 is then inserted into the slot 405 of the placement frame 403, and a second portion of crayfish is placed on top of the first net 406. This ensures that the bottom of the placed crayfish is in contact with the air, facilitating moisture dissipation. The placement frame 403 is then secured to the four fixing blocks 402, and the movable door 6 is closed. The refrigeration system 2 is then activated via the control system 3, allowing the crayfish to evenly dissipate moisture. This placement mechanism 4, by using a net to hold the crayfish, promotes even moisture loss from the crayfish's interior, reducing food damage.
