Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of food production equipment, and in particular to a cooling device for cooked fast food. Background Technology

[0002] Vermicelli is a common fast food that can be cooked in various ways. The main raw materials for vermicelli are sweet potatoes and potatoes. During processing, sweet potato starch is mixed with water, then added to a vermicelli machine for cooking and extrusion to form vermicelli.

[0003] Cooling devices are usually installed on the extrusion head of a noodle machine to cool down the extruded noodles and reduce sticking. For example, utility model patent CN108851022A discloses a sweet potato noodle machine with a fan on its body facing the base of the machine to cool the noodles after they are extruded.

[0004] The related technology has a certain cooling effect, but in actual use, it was found that the temperature of the side of the vermicelli closer to the fan is lower, while the temperature of the side farther away from the fan is higher than that of the side closer to the fan. This results in uneven cooling of the vermicelli, causing some stickiness after the vermicelli is extruded. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the uniformity of cooling after the vermicelli is cooked, this application provides a cooling device for cooked instant food.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, during the operation of the vermicelli machine, the vermicelli is extruded from the extrusion head and then passes through the air guide ring. Cooling gas is injected into the air guide ring by the blowing device and then blown out from multiple air outlets. This achieves simultaneous cooling of the vermicelli from multiple directions, improving the uniformity of cooling and reducing vermicelli sticking.

[0009] Optionally, a rotating hole is provided on the inner side wall of the air guide ring, and a rotating ball is provided in the rotating hole. The rotating ball is installed in the rotating hole and can rotate arbitrarily, and the air outlet is opened on the rotating ball.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the through direction of the air outlet can be adjusted in multiple directions by rotating the rotating ball, which makes it easier for staff to adjust the direction of the airflow from the exhaust hole and further improves the uniformity of cooling the vermicelli.

[0011] Optionally, the air guide ring is provided with an adjusting component, the adjusting component including a sliding part that is slidably connected to the air guide ring in the vertical direction, the rotating ball is provided with an air guide tube, the air guide tube is parallel to the air outlet, and the length direction of the air guide tube passes through the center of the rotating ball, the air guide tube is rotatably connected to the sliding part, and the sliding part can drive the rotating ball to rotate.

[0013] Optionally, the adjusting component further includes a rotating part, which is a ring-shaped structure coaxial with the air guide ring. It is rotatably connected to the sliding part around its own axis. The air guide pipe is connected to the rotating part and can rotate arbitrarily.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating part can drive the air guide pipe to move, thereby causing the air guide to rotate around the vertical axis. The sliding part causes the rotating part to change its position in the vertical direction, which in turn causes the rotating ball to rotate around the horizontal axis, realizing the adjustment of the rotating ball in multiple directions.

[0015] Optionally, the rotating part is provided with an adjusting ball, which is connected to the rotating part and can rotate arbitrarily, and the air guide tube is slidably inserted through the adjusting ball.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the air guide pipe and the rotating part can be rotated in multiple directions by adjusting the ball.

[0017] Optionally, the sliding part is provided with a first driving member, the first driving member including a rotating rod and a gear. The gear is disposed on the side of the sliding part near the rotating part. The rotating rod passes through the sliding part and is rotatably connected to the sliding part.
