[0002] Zongzi, also known as zongzi, is a type of rice dumpling, also called "jiaoshu" or "tongzong." It is made by wrapping glutinous rice in bamboo leaves and steaming it, and is one of the traditional festive foods of the Chinese nation. In the production of zongzi, cooling time is a crucial step, especially in large-scale production. The cooling time of zongzi generally refers to the time required from the time it is cooked until it reaches a temperature suitable for safe packaging, storage, and sale. This process directly affects the quality, safety, and shelf life of the product.

[0003] The common cooling method is to spread the rice dumplings out on a shelf and wait for them to cool naturally or use air cooling. The shelf panels are made of multiple stainless steel bars welded together. However, the existing shelves have the following problems: the rice dumplings are of different sizes, but the spacing between the shelves is the same, so they cannot accommodate rice dumplings of different sizes. They also have poor water conductivity, which makes them easy to accumulate water and affect the cooling effect. Utility Model Content

[0026] To resolve the above issues, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a cooling rack for cooling zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), including a rack body 1, multiple shelf plates 2, and a blowing structure 3. The rack body 1 has an installation space 11, and the shelf plates 2 are movably connected to the installation space 11 and are spaced apart along the height direction of the rack body 1. The shelf plates 2 can move along the width direction of the rack body 1. The blowing structure 3 includes a fan 31 and a blowing pipe 32. The air outlet end of the fan 31 is connected to the blowing pipe 32 through an air outlet pipe 33. The end of the blowing pipe 32 away from the air outlet pipe 33 is a closed end. The shelf plates 2 form multiple arc-shaped grooves 21 for placing zongzi. The arc-shaped grooves 21 extend along the length direction of the shelf plate 2 for placing zongzi. The blowing pipe 32 is disposed between two adjacent arc-shaped grooves 21, and the surface of the blowing pipe 32 facing the zongzi is the air outlet surface 321 for blowing air to cool the zongzi. The arc-shaped grooves 21 have drainage holes 211 for draining water from the surface of the zongzi.

[0027] The frame body 1 is welded from multiple stainless steel bars, forming a rectangular frame. The stainless steel bars enclose an installation space 11. The shelf 2 is evenly distributed in the installation space 11 along the height of the frame body 1. The air blowing pipe 32 is a stainless steel pipe. The shelf 2 can be a one-piece molded structure or a multiple arc-shaped mesh plate welded together. The air blowing pipe 32 is welded at the weld or between adjacent arc-shaped grooves 21. In this embodiment, the shelf 2 is a one-piece molded structure obtained by punching holes in a straight steel plate and then pressing it. It can drain water from the rice dumplings, prevent water accumulation, and accelerate the cooling of the rice dumplings. The main function of the fan 31 is to generate airflow by rotating blades for ventilation, exhaust, cooling, drying, and gas transportation. It is widely used in industrial, construction, agricultural, and household fields.

[0028] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a water collection tray 4 is provided on the side of the shelf 2 facing the ground near the ground to collect water dripping through the drain hole 211. Specifically, the water collection tray 4 is made of stainless steel and has an open structure with the opening facing the shelf 2. The water collection tray 4 receives water dripping through the drain hole 211, which can prevent the floor of the work area from becoming slippery, effectively prevent workers from slipping and falling, and improve the safety performance of the work area. Furthermore, the water collection tray 4 can be welded to the frame body 1 or placed directly on the frame body 1 or the ground to collect water.

[0029] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the water receiving tray 4 has a drain outlet 41, which is used to centrally drain the water in the water receiving tray 4. Specifically, the water receiving tray 4 is detachably installed on the frame body 1 using screws, snap-fit, or other methods, facilitating daily disassembly and cleaning. In this embodiment, the water receiving tray 4 is a certain distance from the ground, allowing for the installation of a drainage pipe corresponding to the drain outlet 41, which extends to the wastewater recycling point. Furthermore, the drain outlet 41 has a slope on its periphery to guide water flow towards it. A sealing cover can also be installed at the drain outlet 41, allowing the cooling rack to collect dripping water even in environments without drainage conditions. When the water in the water receiving tray 4 accumulates to a certain level, the operator can manually open the sealing cover, use a container to collect the water, and then empty it into a pool or drain.

[0030] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the shelf 2 is connected to the end face of the frame body 1 and is provided with a limiting protrusion 22. The frame body 1 has a guide groove 12, and the limiting protrusion 22 is disposed in the guide groove 12 and moves along the length direction of the guide groove 12. The shelf 2 is provided with a handle 5 on one long side away from the frame body 1. The shelf 2 is moved along the length direction of the guide groove 12 by pulling the handle 5. In this embodiment, each layer of the frame body 1 is composed of two shelf 2s, and the two shelf 2s are pulled out in opposite directions. The handle 5 is installed on the outer edge of the shelf 2 by welding. Therefore, two workers can be configured on the same cooling rack. The workers can pull the two shelf 2s on the same layer from two directions by pulling the handle 5, so as to place the zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), improve work efficiency, and the shelf 2 can also be removed for cleaning.

[0031] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet duct 33 has multiple interface ends 331, which are inserted into the frame body 1, and the ends of the interface ends 331 correspond to the air inlet ends of the air blower 32. The interface end 331 of the air outlet duct 33 is set on the frame body 1. After the shelf 2 is pushed into place (the alignment of the shelf 2 with the edge of the frame body 1 can be used to determine whether the shelf 2 is in place), it connects with the corresponding air blower 32. At the same time, the interface end 331 of the air outlet duct 33 is hidden, and the neat arrangement makes the cooling rack look beautiful. In this embodiment, the cooling rack is set with three layers, and each air outlet duct 33 is set with three interface ends 331. The number of layers of the cooling rack can be increased or decreased according to the production volume requirements. Furthermore, a sealing ring can be set on the end face of the interface end 331 to improve the sealing between the interface end 331 and the air blower 32 of the shelf 2. When the shelf 2 is pushed into place, the end face of the air blower 32 abuts against the sealing ring, effectively preventing gas leakage from the abutment and accelerating the heat dissipation of the rice dumplings.

[0032] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air outlet surface 321 has an air outlet hole 322. Specifically, the air outlet hole 322 is directed towards the arc-shaped groove 21, blowing air onto the rice dumpling from at least one direction to cool it and accelerate the heat dissipation of the rice dumpling.

[0033] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the air-blowing structure 3 also includes a bracket 34 and a flow box 35. The bracket 34 supports and mounts the fan 31. One end of the flow box 35 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 31, and the other end is connected to the air-blowing pipe 32 for gas diversion. The gas flow box 35 prevents gas from accumulating in a certain area, ensuring that the internal airflow entering each air-blowing pipe 32 is consistent at the same time, thus guaranteeing that the cooling rate is approximately the same at all points on the same cooling rack.

[0034] When in use, the staff pulls the shelf 2 out from the main body 1 toward the person. At this time, part of the shelf 2 is still on the main body 1 to provide support and facilitate one-person operation. The staff places the zongzi on the arc-shaped groove 21 and pushes the shelf 2 in while placing the zongzi. After the zongzi is placed, the fan 31 is turned on, so that the fan 31 transports compressed air through the air outlet duct 33 to the air blowing pipe 32 to cool the zongzi. After the zongzi is cooled, the shelf 2 and the water tray 4 are removed for cleaning to ensure cleanliness for the next use.

[0035] In summary, the shelf 2 is equipped with multiple arc-shaped grooves 21 that resemble the appearance of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), which can accommodate zongzi of different sizes and place them stably. At the same time, the arc-shaped grooves 21 have drainage holes 211 that work together with the water guiding surface of the arc-shaped grooves 21 to guide the water adhering to the surface of the zongzi to the bottom of the grooves 21 and drain it through the drainage holes 211, preventing some zongzi from being soaked in water and accelerating the cooling of the zongzi. At the same time, a blower structure 3 is set up to blow air onto the surface of the zongzi, remove the heat from the zongzi, and improve the cooling speed of the zongzi.
