Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cold water tanks, and in particular to a rapid cooling cold water tank. Background Technology

[0002] In food production and processing lines, cold water tanks are needed for efficient cooling of food. Existing technology, Chinese utility model patent CN214792163U, discloses a chain-type automatic cold water tank. This cold water tank includes a base, with a baffle fixedly connected to the top of the base. A water tank is formed at the top of the base, and multiple chain-driven rollers are rotatably installed inside the water tank. A drain pipe connected to the water tank is attached to one side of the base, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe. A partition plate is fixedly connected inside the water tank. This utility model allows for convenient and rapid water source replacement, preventing the cooling efficiency and food quality from decreasing due to prolonged use of water in the tank, while effectively improving processing efficiency.

[0003] However, the water in the aforementioned cold water tank is used to soak the food as a whole. As the soaking time of the food is extended, the water temperature in the cold water tank gradually increases, while the time the food spends in the cold water tank is not extended. Therefore, the cooling effect of the cold water on the food decreases in the later stages of water replacement. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a rapid cooling cold water tank that allows food to be constantly immersed in low-temperature water by changing the water in a timely manner through a moving cooling grid, thereby achieving rapid and efficient cooling and improving practicality.

[0005] This utility model discloses a rapid cooling water tank, comprising a water tank, a frame, a chain conveyor mechanism, multiple partitions, a circulating pump, a pumping pipe, a cooler, and a water supply pipe. The frame is mounted on the water tank, the chain conveyor mechanism is mounted on the frame, and the multiple partitions are evenly mounted on the chain conveyor mechanism. The lower outer edge and side edges of the multiple partitions slide in contact with the bottom wall and inner side walls of the water tank. When the multiple partitions extend into the water tank, they divide the water tank into several cooling compartments. The circulating pump is located outside the water tank. The output end of the pumping pipe is connected to the inlet of the circulating pump. Multiple input ends of the pumping pipe extend into the bottom of the water tank. The outlet of the circulating pump is connected to the inlet of the cooler. The input end of the water supply pipe is connected to the outlet of the cooler. Multiple output ends of the water supply pipe extend into the water tank, and the multiple output ends of the water supply pipe are respectively located in front of the multiple input ends of the pumping pipe. During operation, the chain conveyor mechanism drives multiple partitions to sequentially enter the water tank from the input end and exit from the output end. As the partitions move within the water tank, they divide it into multiple cooling compartments. These cooling compartments move along the water tank. Food is fed into a cooling compartment located at the front of the tank through the input end. Simultaneously, a circulation pump operates, causing water to enter the cooler and be cooled before being fed into the cooling compartment through a water supply pipe. This rapidly cools the food and transports it backward. When the cooling compartment reaches the input end of the water pump, the water pump extracts the water from the cooling compartment and feeds it into the cooler for further cooling. When the cooled compartment reaches the output end of the next water supply pipe, cold water is replenished again. This cycle continues, ensuring that the food is always immersed in low-temperature water, resulting in rapid and efficient cooling and improved practicality.

[0006] Preferably, it also includes a water level sensor and a water temperature sensor. Both the water level sensor and the water temperature sensor are installed on the side wall of the water tank. The probes of the water level sensor and the water temperature sensor extend into the water tank and are close to the output end of the water supply pipe. Multiple water level sensors detect the water level in multiple cooling grids located at multiple output ends of the water supply pipe, and multiple water temperature sensors detect the water temperature in multiple cooling grids located at multiple output ends of the water supply pipe, thereby realizing the monitoring of the water level and water temperature in the water tank and improving practicality.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a push cylinder and a push plate. The fixed end of the push cylinder is mounted on the frame, and the push plate is mounted on the top of the piston rod of the push cylinder. The push plate is located above the output end of the water tank and is perpendicular to the chain conveyor mechanism. When the partition reaches the output end of the water tank, the partition is driven by the chain conveyor mechanism to lift up from the output end of the water tank and remove the food from the water tank. When the partition contacts the push plate, the piston rod of the push cylinder extends and pushes the push plate along the partition towards the outside of the output end of the water tank, thereby pushing the food on the partition out of the feed. After the push plate reaches the outside of the partition, the partition continues to rotate and reaches above the chain conveyor mechanism and the push plate. The piston rod of the push cylinder retracts to reset the push plate, preparing for the next feeding. It has good practicality.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes two side plates, which are installed opposite each other on the left and right sides of the push plate and are located above the partition. The two side plates gather the food together, preventing the food from falling during feeding and improving the reliability of feeding.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a front arc-shaped part and a rear arc-shaped part, with the input end of the water tank having a front arc-shaped part and the output end of the water tank having a rear arc-shaped part, the front arc-shaped part and the rear arc-shaped part avoiding the partition; by setting the front arc-shaped part and the rear arc-shaped part, the input end and the output end of the water tank avoid the partition while reducing water leakage at the edge of the partition.

[0010] Preferably, the system also includes a filter box, a tubular filter element, multiple partition sealing plates, and a box cover. The filter box is installed at the output end of the pumping pipe, located in front of the inlet of the circulating pump. The filter box contains a filter chamber. Two inlets and two outlets communicating with the filter chamber are respectively located on both sides of the filter box. The tubular filter element is vertically and rotatably installed in the middle of the filter chamber. Multiple partition sealing plates are evenly installed around the outer wall of the tubular filter element, with an even number of plates. The outer edges of the partition sealing plates are slidably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the filter box. The box cover is rotatably installed on the upper port of the filter box. The box cover is connected to the pipe... The filter cartridge is connected in two ways. During operation, the inlet and outlet of the filter box are positioned between two partition sealing plates. Water drawn from the pump pipe enters the filter chamber of the filter box through inlet two. After being gathered and guided by the two partition sealing plates at the front, the water is filtered through the front and rear side walls of the tubular filter cartridge. After being gathered and guided by the two partition sealing plates at the rear, the water is discharged through outlet two. After working for a period of time, the filter holes on the front side of the tubular filter cartridge become clogged. At this time, the tubular filter cartridge is rotated by rotating the box cover, so that the unblocked part of the tubular filter cartridge replaces the clogged part, improving the filtration reliability.

[0011] Preferably, the filter also includes two inner baffles and a cleaning port. The two inner baffles are installed opposite each other on both sides of the middle of the filter chamber of the filter box. The two inner baffles are in sliding and sealing contact with the inner walls of the tubular filter element on both sides. The two inner baffles are located on both sides of the line connecting the second inlet and the second outlet of the filter box. The cleaning port is installed on the side wall of the filter box and is located on the outside of the inner baffles. The two inner baffles guide the water inside the tubular filter element and block the part of the tubular filter element facing the cleaning port. At this time, the cleaning port is opened to clean out the blockage on the outer wall of the tubular filter element. Due to the blocking effect of the inner baffles, the water inside the tubular filter element will not be discharged through the cleaning port, thus achieving uninterrupted cleaning.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During operation, the chain conveyor mechanism drives multiple partitions to enter the water tank sequentially from the input end and exit from the output end. As the partitions move in the water tank, they divide the water tank into multiple cooling compartments. These cooling compartments move along the water tank. Food is fed into a cooling compartment located in front of the water tank through the input end of the water tank. At the same time, the circulation pump runs, allowing water to enter the cooler and be cooled before being fed into the cooling compartment located in front of the water tank through the water supply pipe. This rapidly cools the food and transports it backward. When the cooling compartment reaches the input end of the water pumping pipe, the water pumping pipe extracts the water from the cooling compartment and feeds it into the cooler for further cooling. When the cooling compartment reaches the output end of the next water supply pipe, cold water is replenished again. This cycle continues, ensuring that the food is always immersed in low-temperature water, thereby achieving rapid and efficient cooling and improving practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a rapid cooling water tank includes a water tank 1; it also includes a frame 2, a chain conveyor mechanism 3, multiple partitions 4, a circulating pump 5, a water extraction pipe 6, a cooler 7, and a water supply pipe 8. The frame 2 is mounted on the water tank 1, the chain conveyor mechanism 3 is mounted on the frame 2, and the multiple partitions 4 are evenly mounted on the chain conveyor mechanism 3. The lower outer edge and side edges of the multiple partitions 4 slide in contact with the bottom wall and the inner side walls of the water tank 1. When the multiple partitions 4 extend into the water tank 1, they divide the water tank 1 into several cooling compartments. The circulating pump 5 is located outside the water tank 1. The output end of the water extraction pipe 6 is connected to the inlet of the circulating pump 5, and the multiple input ends of the water extraction pipe 6 extend into the bottom of the water tank 1. The outlet of the circulating pump 5 is connected to... The inlet of the cooler 7 is connected, the input end of the water supply pipe 8 is connected to the outlet of the cooler 7, and multiple output ends of the water supply pipe 8 extend into the water tank 1, with the multiple output ends of the water supply pipe 8 located in front of the multiple input ends of the water pumping pipe 6; it also includes a water level sensor 9 and a water temperature sensor 10, both of which are installed on the side wall of the water tank 1, with the probes of the water level sensor 9 and the water temperature sensor 10 extending into the water tank 1 and close to the output ends of the water supply pipe 8; it also includes a front arc-shaped part 14 and a rear arc-shaped part 15, with the front arc-shaped part 14 provided at the input end of the water tank 1 and the rear arc-shaped part 15 provided at the output end of the water tank 1, with the front arc-shaped part 14 and the rear arc-shaped part 15 avoiding the partition plate 4.

[0023] During operation, the chain conveyor mechanism 3 drives multiple partitions 4 to sequentially enter the water tank 1 from the input end and exit from the output end. As the partitions 4 move within the water tank 1, they divide the water tank 1 into multiple cooling compartments. These cooling compartments move along the water tank 1. By designing a front arc-shaped section 14 and a rear arc-shaped section 15, the input and output ends of the water tank 1 avoid the partitions 4 while reducing water leakage at the edges of the partitions 4. Food is fed into a cooling compartment located at the front of the water tank 1 through the input end. Simultaneously, the circulation pump 5 operates, causing water to enter the cooler 7 for cooling, and then, through the water supply pipe 8, is fed into the cooling compartment located at the front of the water tank 1 for further cooling. The food in the tank is rapidly cooled and then transported to the next stage. Multiple water level sensors 9 detect the water level in multiple cooling cells located at multiple output ends of the water supply pipe 8, and multiple water temperature sensors 10 detect the water temperature in multiple cooling cells located at multiple output ends of the water supply pipe 8, thereby monitoring the water level and water temperature in the water tank 1. When the cooling cell reaches the input end of the water pumping pipe 6, the water pumping pipe 6 pumps out the water in the cooling cell and inputs it into the cooler 7 for cooling. When the cooling cell after the water pumping reaches the output end of the next water supply pipe 8, cold water is replenished again. This cycle continues, so that the food is always soaked in low-temperature water, thereby achieving rapid and efficient cooling.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, based on embodiment 1, it also includes a push cylinder 11 and a push plate 12. The fixed end of the push cylinder 11 is mounted on the frame 2, and the push plate 12 is mounted on the top of the piston rod of the push cylinder 11. The push plate 12 is located above the output end of the water tank 1 and is perpendicular to the chain conveying mechanism 3. It also includes two side plates 13, which are mounted opposite each other on the left and right sides of the push plate 12 and are located above the partition plate 4.

[0026] When the partition 4 reaches the output end of the water tank 1, the partition 4 is driven by the chain conveyor mechanism 3 to lift it from the output end of the water tank 1 and remove the food from the water tank 1. When the partition 4 contacts the push plate 12, the piston rod of the push cylinder 11 extends and pushes the push plate 12 along the partition 4 toward the outside of the output end of the water tank 1, thereby pushing the food on the partition 4 out of the feed. The food is gathered by the two side plates 13 to prevent the food from falling during the feed. After the push plate 12 reaches the outside of the partition 4, the partition 4 continues to rotate and reaches above the chain conveyor mechanism 3 and the push plate 12. The piston rod of the push cylinder 11 retracts to reset the push plate 12, preparing for the next feed.

[0027] Example 3

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, based on Embodiment 1, it further includes a filter box 16, a tubular filter element 17, multiple partition sealing plates 18, and a box cover 19. The filter box 16 is installed at the output end of the water pump 6, and is located in front of the inlet of the circulating pump 5. The filter box 16 has a filter chamber inside, and two inlets and two outlets communicating with the filter chamber are respectively provided on both sides of the filter box 16. The tubular filter element 17 is vertically and rotatably installed in the middle of the filter chamber of the filter box 16. Multiple partition sealing plates 18 are evenly installed on the outer wall of the tubular filter element 17. There are an even number of partition sealing plates 18. The outer edge of plate 18 is slidably sealed to the inner wall of filter box 16. The cover 19 is rotatably installed on the upper port of filter box 16 and is connected to tubular filter element 17. It also includes two inner baffles 20 and a cleaning port 21. The two inner baffles 20 are installed opposite each other on both sides of the middle of the filter chamber of filter box 16. The two inner baffles 20 are slidably sealed to the inner walls of both sides of tubular filter element 17. The two inner baffles 20 are located on both sides of the line connecting the second inlet and the second outlet of filter box 16. The cleaning port 21 is installed on the side wall of filter box 16 and is located outside the inner baffles 20.

[0029] During operation, the inlet and outlet of the filter box 16 are positioned between two partition sealing plates 18. Water drawn from the pump pipe 6 enters the filter chamber of the filter box 16 through the inlet. After being gathered and guided by the two partition sealing plates 18 at the front, the water is filtered through the front and rear side walls of the tubular filter element 17. Two inner baffles 20 guide the water inside the tubular filter element 17 and block the portion of the tubular filter element 17 facing the cleaning port 21. The water then passes through the two rear... After the water is gathered and guided by the partition sealing plate 18, it is discharged through the outlet 2. After working for a period of time, the filter holes on the front side of the tubular filter element 17 are blocked. At this time, the tubular filter element 17 is rotated by the box cover 19 so that the part of the tubular filter element 17 that is not blocked replaces the blocked part of the tubular filter element 17. Then, the cleaning port 21 is opened to clean out the blockage on the outer wall of the tubular filter element 17. Due to the blocking effect of the inner baffle 20, the water inside the tubular filter element 17 will not be discharged through the cleaning port 21, thus achieving uninterrupted cleaning.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model discloses a rapid cooling cold water tank. During operation, the chain conveyor mechanism 3 drives multiple partitions 4 to sequentially enter the water tank 1 from the input end and exit from the output end. As the partitions 4 move within the water tank 1, they divide it into multiple cooling compartments. These cooling compartments move along the water tank 1. Food is fed into a cooling compartment located at the front of the tank through the input end of the water tank 1. Simultaneously, the circulation pump 5 operates, causing water to enter the cooler 7 for cooling. After cooling, the water is fed into the cooling compartment located at the front of the water tank 1 through the water supply pipe 8, rapidly cooling the food and conveying it backward. Then, when the cooling compartment reaches the input end of the water extraction pipe 6, the water extraction pipe 6 extracts the water from the cooling compartment and feeds it into the cooler 7 for further cooling. When the cooled compartment reaches the output end of the next water supply pipe 8, cold water is replenished again. This cycle continues, ensuring the food is always immersed in low-temperature water. Finally, when the partitions 4 reach the output end of the water tank 1... At the outlet, the partition 4 is driven by the chain conveyor mechanism 3 to lift the food from the outlet of the water tank 1. When the partition 4 contacts the push plate 12, the piston rod of the push cylinder 11 extends, pushing the push plate 12 along the partition 4 towards the outside of the outlet of the water tank 1, thereby pushing the food on the partition 4 out of the feed. After the push plate 12 reaches the outside of the partition 4, the partition 4 continues to rotate and reaches above the chain conveyor mechanism 3 and the push plate 12. The piston rod of the push cylinder 11 retracts, causing the push plate 12 to return to its original position. In preparation for the next feeding, after a period of operation, the filter holes on the front side of the tubular filter element 17 become clogged. At this time, the tubular filter element 17 is rotated by the cover 19, so that the unclogged part of the tubular filter element 17 replaces the clogged part. The cleaning port 21 is opened to clean out the blockage on the outer wall of the tubular filter element 17. Due to the blocking effect of the inner baffle 20, the water inside the tubular filter element 17 will not be discharged through the cleaning port 21, thus achieving uninterrupted cleaning.

[0031] The main functions achieved by this utility model are:

[0032] 1. By changing the water in the moving cooling grid in a timely manner, the food is always immersed in low-temperature water, thus achieving rapid and efficient cooling;

[0033] 2. It can automatically unload materials, improving work efficiency;

[0034] 3. The rotatable filter element structure enables efficient filtration and uninterrupted cleaning of filter pore blockage.

Any method that can achieve the beneficial effect can be implemented. The water tank 1, frame 2, chain conveyor mechanism 3, partition 4, circulating pump 5, cooler 7, water level sensor 9, water temperature sensor 10, push cylinder 11, filter box 16, tubular filter element 17, and cleaning port 21 of this utility model are commercially available.
