Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of canned food cooling, specifically to a rapid cooling and sealing device for straw mushroom cans. Background Technology

[0002] Straw mushrooms are rich in nutrients and have a delicious flavor. Canned straw mushrooms made from them are a popular choice for people's tables all year round.

[0003] During the canning process, steam is introduced into the cans to sterilize the mushroom sauce inside. After the lids are quickly closed, steam condensation creates a vacuum zone inside the can, achieving a seal under the combined pressure of the air inside and outside the lid. To quickly return the cans to normal temperature and achieve a faster seal, they are typically cooled after the lids are closed. Since a large number of cans are processed at once, the cooling effect of unilateral cold air intake varies from can to can. If a can is far from the cold source and is removed along with other cans before it has cooled sufficiently, a poor seal will inevitably occur, affecting the quality of the mushroom cans. Therefore, a rapid cooling and sealing device for mushroom cans is provided. Utility Model Content

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Combined with appendix Figure 1-4 To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a rapid cooling and sealing device for straw mushroom cans, including a base 1. A tray 7 is connected to the bottom of the base 1, and a slope 19 is provided on the top of the tray 7. A drain pipe 17 is connected to the side of the base 1 below the tray 7, and a valve 18 is connected to the drain pipe 17. Multiple supports 14 are connected inside the base 1, and a carrying basket 16 is connected above the supports 14. Multiple nozzles 4 are connected inside the base 1, and an adjustment mechanism capable of changing the spray angle of the nozzles 4 is connected inside the base 1. The adjustment mechanism includes an electric telescopic rod 6, which is rotatably connected between the nozzles 4 and the side wall of the base 1. A telescopic hose 5 is connected between the nozzles 4 and the branch pipe 3. A cooling pipe 2 is connected to the outside of one side of the base 1, and an air pump 20 is connected to the cooling pipe 2. A branch pipe 3 is connected between the cooling pipe 2 and the nozzles 4.

[0024] The components carried within the base 1 form the necessary parts of this device and technical solution. Specifically, it can be seen as part of a mushroom canning equipment with a rapid cooling function, or as an auxiliary device providing rapid cooling during the sealing of mushroom cans. The cooling method used here is liquid nitrogen, but dry ice or other coolants can also be used to quickly cool the cans. The coolant is delivered to the nozzle 4 through the cooling pipe 2. Under the action of the nozzle 4, which achieves up-and-down sweeping based on the telescopic effect of the electric telescopic rod 6, the coolant is sprayed towards the cans in the upward-facing support basket 16. This device is used after the mushroom cans have undergone steam sterilization and the lid has been quickly fixed to the cans. Cooling can restore the cans affected by excessively high steam temperature to normal temperature, and can also cause the steam in the closed cans to condense rapidly, forming a large vacuum area in the cans, thus sealing the cans more efficiently and quickly.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 1-3 and appendix Figure 5 The base 1 is equipped with a drive mechanism that enables the carrying basket 16 to rotate. The drive mechanism includes a drive shaft 9, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the base 1. A motor 8, which drives and cooperates with the drive shaft 9, is connected to the bottom of the base 1. The motor 8 is mounted on the tray 7. Multiple support rods 12 are connected to the drive shaft 9. A support shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the end of each support rod 12. A support 14 is located at the top of the support shaft 13. A turntable 10 is connected to the bottom of the drive shaft 9. The turntable 10 and the support 14 are located on the same horizontal plane. Multiple support columns 11 are connected to the edge of the turntable 10. Multiple guide rods 15, which cooperate with the support columns 11, are connected to the edge of the support 14. The guide rods 15 and the support columns 11 are arranged in a mutually perpendicular state.

[0027] The carrying basket 16, which holds the canned goods, is rotated by a drive mechanism. The steps described above, such as pre-cooling sterilization, steam introduction, and sealing the cans, can all be completed by placing the cans in the carrying basket 16. Each carrying basket 16 holds one can. As the can rotates within the base 1, it receives more thorough cooling, resulting in faster cooling and sealing. With the motor 8 running, the drive shaft 9 rotates. Since the carrying basket 16 is connected to the drive shaft 9 via the support rod 12, the cans rotate around the drive shaft 9. Furthermore, a special turntable 10 is installed at the top of the drive shaft 9. This turntable 10 has fixed plates on its upper and lower surfaces, and numerous small holes are evenly distributed between the edges of the fixed plates. Support column 11, and in order to cooperate with the use of turntable 10, a suitable number of guide rods 15 are horizontally and outwardly set on the support 14 below the carrying basket 16. The length of the guide rods 15 is such that their ends reach the internal interlayer of turntable 10 through support column 11. When turntable 10 rotates with drive shaft 9, support column 11 will push guide rods 15, thereby causing support 14 to rotate. Support 14 is rotatably connected to the end of support rod 12 through a support shaft 13. In this way, while the can revolves around drive shaft 9, it also rotates around support shaft 13. In this relatively complex rotation mode, the part below the middle of the can can fully contact the cold air sprayed from nozzle 4, achieving the purpose of uniform overall cooling and rapid individual cooling and sealing.

[0028] In a specific implementation of this invention, when the device is used in the sealing process of straw mushroom cans, the cans with lids are loaded in the carrying basket 16. With the power support provided by the motor 8 to the drive mechanism, the cans rotate in the base 1. At the same time, the nozzles 4 on both sides, under the action of the electric telescopic rod 6, continuously sweep cold air up and down the can holding area. By providing a low-temperature environment for the cans, the cans can quickly return to room temperature or reach a slightly low temperature. The steam in the top of the cans is quickly condensed, forming a large vacuum. Under the action of the air pressure inside and outside the can lid, the seal is achieved. After the purpose is achieved, the operation of the drive mechanism and the replenishment of coolant can be stopped, and the cans can be removed. Since the steam sterilization step can be carried out in the base 1 of the device, the air in the base 1 may also be filled with a large amount of water vapor. Under the action of the coolant spray, the steam outside the cans will also turn into water droplets and remain in the base 1. These water droplets slowly converge towards the bottom plate of the base 1, that is, the position below the tray 7, and are discharged through the drain pipe 17 with valve 18 within a certain period of time.

[0029] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
