Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a chicken cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] People in Guangdong love to eat poached chicken, especially for its crisp and chewy skin and tender meat. The current conventional processing method is to put the whole cooked chicken into ice water to cool it down. However, since the chicken itself has a relatively high temperature, rapidly cooling it down to 0 degrees Celsius water cannot achieve a good texture. This is because the cooling water will rise due to the temperature of the chicken itself, making it impossible to maintain a near-0 degree Celsius cooling temperature. Moreover, this cooling method will leave the chicken's inherent gamey smell in the meat, affecting the flavor. Utility Model Content

[0003] The problem solved by this utility model is to provide a chicken cooling device. When warm chicken is put into the liquid in the tank, it will transfer its heat to the liquid in the tank, causing the liquid in the tank to heat up and become difficult to cool effectively. By circulating cold brine, the heat in the liquid in the tank can be quickly removed, so that the temperature of the liquid in the tank can be kept at a low temperature during the soaking of chicken. This can improve the taste of the chicken and improve the food processing effect.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a chicken cooling device, comprising a cooling box body, insulation cotton, a refrigeration unit, an evaporation pipe, a support frame, a submersible pump, and a chicken soaking container. The cooling box body is inlaid with insulation cotton. The support frame is fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the cooling box body. The support frame contains detachable chicken soaking containers. The submersible pump is symmetrically installed on both sides of the support frame. The refrigeration unit is installed on the outer wall of one side of the cooling box body. The refrigeration unit is connected to an evaporation pipe, which is installed on the inner wall of the cooling box body.

[0005] Preferably, a waterproof cover is mounted on the top outer wall of the cooling box body via a hinge, and a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the waterproof cover. Hooks are fixedly distributed on the bottom outer wall of the sealing gasket corresponding to the position of the chicken soaking container.

[0006] Preferably, a salt dispenser is embedded in the waterproof cover, a salinity meter is installed on the bottom outer wall of the salt dispenser, and a dispensing tube is installed on the bottom outer wall of the salt dispenser.

[0007] Preferably, the cooling box body has six adjustable feet distributed on its bottom outer wall.

[0008] Preferably, the cooling tank body can also be connected to a water heater via an external water pipe.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] 1. By replacing traditional ice water with cold brine, the cooling temperature can be effectively controlled below zero degrees Celsius. When warm chicken is put into the liquid in the tank, the heat transferred causes the liquid in the tank to heat up, making it impossible to cool effectively. Through the circulation of cold brine, the heat in the liquid in the tank can be quickly removed, so that the chicken can be continuously and evenly cooled during soaking, achieving a constant temperature freezing effect.

[0011] 2. Cooling with continuously circulating water can improve the flavor of chicken, remove fishy and gamey smells, enhance umami, and improve the processing effect of food.

[0012] 3. It is equipped with a salt dispenser and a salinity meter, which can adjust the salinity of cold brine according to the situation to suit the soaking needs of different foods;

[0013] 4. The entire chicken soaking process is carried out in a sealed environment, which reduces the impact and contamination of the chicken meat on environmental factors during soaking and cooling, and extends the shelf life of the soup. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0021] See Figures 1-3A chicken cooling device includes a cooling box body 1, insulation cotton 2, a refrigeration unit 3, an evaporation pipe 4, a support frame 5, a submersible pump 6, and a chicken soaking container 7. The cooling box body 1 is inlaid with insulation cotton 2. Support frames 5 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the cooling box body 1. Removable chicken soaking containers 7 are installed within the support frames 5. Submersible pumps 6 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the support frames 5. The refrigeration unit 3 is installed on one outer wall of the cooling box body 1, and the refrigeration unit 3 is connected to the evaporation pipe 4, which is installed on the inner wall of the cooling box body 1. A waterproof cover 8 is hinged and rotatably installed on the top outer wall of the cooling box body 1. A sealing gasket 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the waterproof cover 8. Hooks 13 are fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the sealing gasket 9 corresponding to the positions of the chicken soaking containers 7. Opening the waterproof cover 8 and the sealing gasket 9 allows for... The liquid for soaking chicken is poured into the soaking container 7, and the chicken is then hung on the hook 13. A salt dispenser 10 is embedded in the waterproof cover 8. A salinity meter 11 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the salt dispenser 10, and a dispensing tube 12 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the salt dispenser 10. One end of the dispensing tube 12 is connected to the salt dispenser, and the other end extends into the cooling box body 1. The salinity meter 11 is used to detect the salinity of the brine. When the salinity of the brine is insufficient, salt is injected into the cooling box body 1 through the dispensing tube 12 to adjust the salinity. Six adjustable feet 14 are distributed on the bottom outer wall of the cooling box body 1. The height of the cooling box body 1 is adjusted by the adjustable feet 14. When the cooling box body 1 is tilted, it can be leveled by the adjustable feet 14.

[0022] The main body of the cooling tank can be connected to an external water pipe (not shown in the figure). The water pipe is connected to a water activator (not shown in the figure), which can activate the water before injecting it into the main body of the cooling tank. The water activated by the water activator has better thermal conductivity.

[0023] Working principle: Open the waterproof cover 8 and sealing gasket 9, and pour the soaking liquid (which can be filtered ice water, braising liquid, broth, etc.) into the soaking container 7. Pour a certain salinity of ice-cold brine into the cooling tank body, and then test the brine using a salinity meter 11. If the salinity is insufficient, add salt into the cooling tank body 1 through the addition pipe 12 to adjust to a suitable salinity. Start the refrigeration unit 3, and cool the cold brine to sub-zero temperature through the evaporation pipe 4. Turn on the two submersible pumps 6 to create relative flow in the cold brine inside the cooling tank body 1, allowing the cold brine to circulate within the cooling tank body 1. Suspend the chicken on the hook 13, close the waterproof cover 8, and suspend the freshly cooked hot chicken in the soaking container 7, immersing it in the soaking liquid, thus completing the soaking process. Steps: Through the aforementioned steps, the heat generated in the chicken soaking container 7 can be quickly removed. Since the two submersible pumps 6 are staggered at both ends of the support frame 5, the cold brine in the cooling tank body 1 circulates. When the cooling tank body 1 is too long and the pumps at both ends are not powerful enough, a submersible pump 6 can be added in the middle of the cooling tank body 1 to prevent the water flow speed in the middle from slowing down. In this way, the whole chicken is placed in the chicken soaking container 7 for rapid cooling. Since the warm chicken meat will transfer its temperature to the liquid in the tank when it is put into the tank, the liquid in the tank will heat up and cannot be effectively cooled. Through the circulation of cold brine, the heat of the liquid in the tank can be quickly removed, so that the liquid temperature in the tank can be kept at a low temperature during the soaking of the chicken, which can improve the taste of the chicken and improve the processing effect of the food.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
