Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing, and in particular to a pre-cooling tank device for braised food. Background Technology

[0002] A precooling tank is a device used to rapidly reduce the temperature of food or other heat-sensitive products. It is widely used in the food processing industry, especially for cooling meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables, and ready-to-eat products. Its main purpose is to quickly remove heat from the product in the early stages of the production process to inhibit microbial growth, maintain product quality and freshness, and extend shelf life. However, the current cooling method is a direct-air cooling line, which uses cold air to blow contaminants onto the food, potentially causing contamination, affecting product quality, and leading to food safety issues. It requires additional use with a sterilization device to ensure food safety, making it relatively inconvenient to use.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a pre-cooling tank device for braised foods that can seal and cool the braising liquid while removing all air to prevent food contamination, accelerate the cooling speed, facilitate product cooling with the broth, reduce product moisture loss, improve product quality, and be easy to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of current methods that use direct cold air for cooling, which easily blows airborne dirt onto food, causing food contamination, affecting product quality, and potentially leading to food safety issues, and require additional sterilization equipment to ensure food safety, this invention provides a pre-cooling tank device for braised foods that can simultaneously seal and cool the braising liquid while removing all air to prevent food contamination, accelerate cooling speed, facilitate cooling of products with the braising liquid, reduce product moisture loss, improve product quality, and is easy to use.

[0005] The pre-cooling tank device for braised food includes an outer cylinder, support feet, an inner cylinder, a steamer bracket, a fixing frame, a top cover, and a cooling and vacuuming assembly. Support feet are connected to the lower sides of the front, back, left, and right sides of the outer cylinder. The inner cylinder is connected to the inside of the outer cylinder, and the steamer bracket is connected to the inside of the inner cylinder. A fixing frame is connected to the upper rear side of the outer cylinder, and the top cover is rotatably connected to the fixing frame. The top cover is snapped into the outer cylinder. Cooling and vacuuming assemblies for vacuuming and cooling the braised food are provided on both the left and right sides of the outer cylinder.

[0006] As a further preferred option, the mounting bracket is L-shaped.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment, the cooling and evacuation assembly includes a heat exchanger, a first connecting pipe, a steam interface, a second connecting pipe, and a vacuum pump. There are two heat exchangers, one on the left and one on the right, placed on the ground. Both heat exchangers are located outside the outer cylinder. The upper front of each heat exchanger is connected to the first connecting pipe, and the front of each first connecting pipe is connected to the steam interface. The upper cover is connected to the second connecting pipe on both the left and right sides, and the second connecting pipe is engaged with the first connecting pipe on the same side. The lower part of each heat exchanger is connected to the vacuum pump.

[0008] As a further preferred option, all second connecting pipes are arc-shaped.

[0009] As a further preferred option, a pressure sensor is also included, with a pressure sensor connected to the upper right side of the top cover.

[0010] As a further preferred option, it also includes a connection port, with a connection port attached to the upper left side of the top cover.

[0011] The beneficial effects are: 1. This utility model allows the brine to enter the inner cylinder, then the top cover is rotated to close the seal, and then the air is extracted by the operation of the vacuum pump. The brine is cooled by the heat exchanger, thus sealing and cooling the brine while removing all the air, preventing food contamination, accelerating the cooling speed, facilitating the cooling of the product with the brine, reducing the loss of product moisture, improving product quality, and making it convenient to use.

[0012] 2. In the cooling process, this utility model connects to external steam through a steam interface, allowing steam to enter the outer cylinder to regulate the temperature. This enables the introduction of steam to regulate the temperature during product cooling, preventing condensation or icing on the product surface due to excessively rapid cooling, and further improving product quality.

[0018] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Pre-cooling tank devices for braised foods, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes an outer cylinder 1, support feet 2, an inner cylinder 3, a steamer bracket 4, a fixing frame 5, a top cover 6, a pressure sensor 7, a connection port 13, and a cooling and exhaust assembly. The support feet 2 are connected to the lower sides of the four sides of the outer cylinder 1. The inner cylinder 3 is connected inside the outer cylinder 1, and the steamer bracket 4 is connected inside the inner cylinder 3. The fixing frame 5 is connected to the upper rear side of the outer cylinder 1. The fixing frame 5 is L-shaped, and the top cover 6 is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 5. The top cover 6 is snapped into the outer cylinder 1. The pressure sensor 7 is connected to the upper right side of the top cover 6 for monitoring the pressure inside the outer cylinder 1. The connection port 13 is connected to the upper left side of the top cover 6 for easy cleaning. The outer cylinder 1 is located on the left... Both right sides are equipped with cooling and vacuuming components for evacuating and cooling the braised food. The cooling and vacuuming components include heat exchangers 8, first connecting pipes 9, steam inlets 10, second connecting pipes 11, and vacuum pumps 12. There are two heat exchangers 8, one on the left and one on the right. The heat exchangers 8 are placed on the ground and are located outside the outer cylinder 1. The first connecting pipes 9 are connected to the front of the upper part of each heat exchanger 8. The steam inlets 10 are connected to the front of each first connecting pipe 9. The second connecting pipes 11 are connected to the left and right sides of the upper cover 6. The second connecting pipes 11 are snapped into the first connecting pipes 9 on the same side. The second connecting pipes 11 are all arc-shaped. The vacuum pumps 12 are connected to the lower part of each heat exchanger 8.

[0020] When it is necessary to cool braised food, this device can be used. The support leg 2 contacts the ground, and then the upper cover 6 is pulled open along the fixing frame 5. The fixing frame 5 is L-shaped, allowing the second connecting pipe 11 to detach from the first connecting pipe 9. Both second connecting pipes 11 are arc-shaped. Insulation material is then filled between the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 3 for insulation. Next, the cage containing the product is moved from the outside by a cage grabber guided by the overhead rail system and accurately placed into the inner cylinder 3, placing the cage on the steamer support 4. The braising liquid then enters the inner cylinder 3. The upper cover 6 is then rotated in the opposite direction to close and seal, causing the second connecting pipe 11 to engage with the first connecting pipe 9. The heat exchanger 8 and the vacuum pump 12 are then started. The operation of the vacuum pump 12 draws air out of the outer cylinder 1 from the second connecting pipe 11 and the first connecting pipe 9, creating a vacuum inside the outer cylinder 1. The heat exchanger 8 cools the product inside the outer cylinder 1, thereby sealing and cooling the brine while removing all air to prevent food contamination, accelerate cooling speed, facilitate cooling of the product with the brine, reduce product moisture loss, improve product quality, and is easy to use. During the cooling process, the pressure sensor 7 monitors the pressure inside the outer cylinder 1, and steam is connected to the steam interface 10 to allow steam to enter the outer cylinder 1 to regulate the temperature. This allows steam to be introduced to regulate the temperature during product cooling, preventing condensation or ice formation on the product surface due to excessively rapid cooling, further improving product quality. After cooling is complete, the heat exchanger 8 and the vacuum pump 12 are turned off, allowing the brine to be discharged from the outlet at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1 for collection. Then, the top cover 6 is rotated to open, disengaging the second connecting pipe 11 from the first connecting pipe 9. The cage is then removed, and a cleaning ball is passed through the connection port 13 to clean the device.
