Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, specifically to an energy-saving and environmentally friendly low-temperature and high-humidity defrosting cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Kitchen utensils refer to tools and equipment used for kitchen activities such as food processing, cooking, cleaning, and storage. A defrosting cabinet is a type of kitchen utensil specifically designed for defrosting food or other items. By precisely controlling parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow, it achieves an efficient, uniform, and hygienic defrosting process. A low-temperature, high-humidity defrosting cabinet is a type of equipment that achieves rapid and uniform defrosting of food by precisely controlling a low-temperature (0-4℃) and high-humidity (90%-98%) environment. This equipment is widely used.

[0003] Currently, thawing cabinets still have some shortcomings, such as the water after thawing being prone to contamination:

[0004] To overcome the problem of pollution caused by thawing water, a prior art Chinese patent (publication number: CN218604891U) discloses an energy-saving frozen shrimp thawing device. By setting a limiting component, after the frozen shrimp are thawed, the limiting post is separated from the basket, allowing the basket to be removed from the partition and the thawed shrimp to be taken out. The whole process is simple and quick, making it easy to remove the basket and improving work efficiency. By setting a collection component, the water dripping after the frozen shrimp are thawed is collected in a collection box, preventing water contaminated with shrimp odor from dripping onto the ground and polluting the environment. The water collected in the collection box can be reused to thaw frozen shrimp, forming a water cycle, which saves water resources and protects the environment.

[0005] However, the thawing cabinets currently in use still have certain shortcomings. The thawing process mentioned above consumes a relatively high amount of power, which increases the cost of use. Secondly, the heat generated by the equipment itself is not well utilized, making the equipment not energy-efficient and potentially impacting the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing structure. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an energy-saving and environmentally friendly low-temperature and high-humidity defrosting cabinet to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as defrosting cabinets not being energy-saving and environmentally friendly enough, increasing energy consumption, and the fact that the heat dissipation gas of the defrosting cabinet is not utilized, thus affecting the environmental performance of the device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an energy-saving and environmentally friendly low-temperature and high-humidity defrosting cabinet, comprising a cabinet body, a cabinet door rotatably connected to the front of the cabinet body via a hinge, an air inlet connected to the back of the cabinet body, and an air outlet connected to the top of the cabinet body.

[0008] The top of the cabinet body is symmetrically connected with straight pipes, a motor is installed on the side of the straight pipe, a guide pipe is fixed on the side of the straight pipe near the motor, and an air guide mechanism is provided on the side of the straight pipe to improve the energy-saving effect of the defrosting cabinet.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1, such as Figures 1-4The present invention provides the following technical solution to address the problem of insufficient energy efficiency and environmental friendliness of defrosting cabinets, which increases energy consumption: a wind-guiding mechanism is disclosed, comprising a cabinet body 1, a cabinet door 2 connected to the front of the cabinet body 1 via a hinge, an air inlet 3 connected to the back of the cabinet body 1, an air outlet 4 connected to the top of the cabinet body 1, a straight pipe 101 symmetrically connected to the top of the cabinet body 1, a motor 102 mounted on the side of the straight pipe 101, a guide pipe 103 fixed to the side of the straight pipe 101 near the motor 102, and a wind-guiding mechanism for improving the energy efficiency of the defrosting cabinet provided on the side of the straight pipe 101. The wind-guiding mechanism includes a temperature sensor 104, which is installed inside the straight pipe 101 and located below the through hole of the guide pipe 103 and the straight pipe 101. A baffle plate 105 is rotatably connected inside the straight pipe 101 and is connected to the output end of the motor 102.

[0030] When using the defrosting cabinet, the food to be defrosted needs to be placed on the rack inside the cabinet body 1. Then, through the defrosting cabinet's own heat exchange system, external gas is introduced and heated through the air inlet 3, and then discharged through the air outlet 4. This heating and humidification method dissipates heat from the frozen food, achieving the defrosting effect. As the gas is discharged through the air outlet 4, the temperature of the food gradually rises due to continuous defrosting, while the heat absorbed by the gas during defrosting gradually decreases. The gas needs to be discharged through the air outlet 4 and the straight pipe 101. During the discharge process, the temperature sensor 104 can monitor the temperature of the flowing gas. The temperature is monitored. During this process, the gas that has not been fully absorbed will be relatively high. When the set temperature range is reached, the motor 102 is started. When the motor 102 is started, the output end can drive the baffle 105 to rotate. When the baffle 105 rotates, it can close the straight pipe 101. After the straight pipe 101 is closed, the gas will be redirected. The gas with a certain temperature can be transported to the area around the air inlet 3 through the guide pipe 103. The air inlet 3 does not need to be heated too much to transport the warm gas back into the cabinet body 1 for defrosting, reducing the power consumption of the defrosting cabinet and achieving the effect of energy saving and environmental protection of the defrosting cabinet.

[0031] Example 2, as follows Figures 1-6The present invention provides the following technical solution to address the problem of unused heat dissipation gas in the defrosting cabinet, which affects the environmental performance of the device: a heat recovery mechanism is disclosed. An external plate 106 is connected to the top of the heat dissipation vent on the back of the cabinet body 1. A heat recovery mechanism for recovering heat energy from the defrosting cabinet is installed inside the external plate 106. The heat recovery mechanism includes a through groove 107, which is formed through the top of the external plate 106. Four through grooves 107 are provided. Symmetrical telescopic grooves 108 are formed near the top of the external plate 106 close to the through grooves 107. A sliding sliding mechanism is slidably inserted inside the telescopic grooves 108. Block 109, sliding block 109 and telescopic groove 108 are connected by a spring, sliding block 109 is fixed with a locking block 110 at the bottom, external plate 106 is fixed with a positioning block 111 at the bottom, positioning block 111 and positioning groove 113 are slidably connected, positioning groove 113 is opened at the top of the cabinet body 1 near the heat dissipation vent, positioning block 111 and positioning groove 113 are respectively connected to four, locking groove 112 is symmetrically opened on the inner side of the cabinet body 1, locking groove 112 and locking block 110 are locked together, and a flexible hose 114 is connected directly above the through groove 107, the flexible hose 114 is installed on the upper surface of external plate 106.

[0032] During the use of the defrosting cabinet, the operation of the device generates heat, which is dissipated through the heat dissipation vents of the cabinet body 1. To avoid wasting heat, the external plate 106 can be moved to the top of the heat dissipation vents of the cabinet body 1 for installation. During installation, the positioning block 111 is aligned with the top of the positioning groove 113 and inserted. When inserted, the positioning block 111 can slide into the positioning groove 113 for lateral positioning. At the same time, the external plate 106 can cause the inclined surface of the locking block 110 to press against the inner wall of the heat dissipation vent of the cabinet body 1. After being pressed, the locking block 110 can drive the sliding block 109 to move. When the sliding block 109 moves, it can slide through the telescopic groove 108. When the sliding block 109 slides, it can compress the spring. After a certain position, the locking block 110 can move to the side of the locking groove 112. At this time, the spring can push the sliding block 109 to reset. When the sliding block 109 resets, it can drive the locking block 110 to reset. When the locking block 110 resets, it can be locked into the locking groove 112 for locking and positioning. When the locking block 110 is positioned, it can be positioned up and down through the cabinet door 2. After the outer plate 106 is fixed, the upper surface of the flexible hose 114 is wound around the surface of the guide pipe 103. The gas emitted by the cabinet body 1 during operation can be discharged through the flexible hose 114. When the gas is heated, it can be absorbed by the gas flowing inside the guide pipe 103 and then transported back to the cabinet body 1 through the guide pipe 103, which can further improve the environmental protection effect of the defrosting cabinet.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
