Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aquatic product processing, and in particular to an automatic aquatic product blanching device. Background Technology

[0002] Blanching is a crucial step in seafood processing, aiming to remove impurities, microorganisms, and fishy odors, while preserving the color and texture of the ingredients and removing sand and other debris. However, existing blanching equipment has several problems. During blanching, impurities such as scales from the seafood easily adhere to the inner walls of the equipment, the conveyor belt, and the surface of the heating elements. Over time, this accumulation can breed bacteria, seriously affecting food hygiene and safety. Moreover, existing equipment is often inconvenient to handle impurities during operation, which may result in an excessive amount of impurities being carried to the surface by the seafood, thus hindering the smooth progress of subsequent processing steps. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic aquatic product blanching device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic aquatic blanching device includes a water tank, multiple sets of rollers rotatably connected to the water tank, a conveyor belt driving the multiple sets of rollers, a frame connected to the water tank, a pump body installed on the frame, a first pipe and a second pipe respectively connected to one end and the other end of the pump body, a water inlet connected to one end and the other end of the first pipe, a mesh plate provided in the water tank, the mesh plate being placed corresponding to the second pipe, and a heating component installed in the water tank.

[0006] Preferably, the conveyor belt is machined with multiple sets of protrusions, the water tank is equipped with a motor, and the output end of the motor is connected to the corresponding roller.

[0007] Preferably, the water tank contains multiple sets of auxiliary rollers and auxiliary wheels that are rotatably connected, and all sets of auxiliary rollers and auxiliary wheels are in contact with the conveyor belt.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the water tank is connected to a block, and one end of the mesh plate is provided with a through groove, with multiple sets of through grooves respectively movably penetrating the corresponding block.

[0009] Preferably, a thermometer is also installed at the water tank.

[0010] Preferably, multiple sets of valve bodies are connected to the water tank.

[0011] Preferably, the water tank is connected to a base at each of its four corners.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. Through the coordination of the water tank, frame, pump, first pipe, second pipe, inlet, screen, and heating component, the water in the tank is heated to boiling. This causes aquatic impurities to float on the surface. With the cooperation of the pump, first pipe, second pipe, and inlet, the inlet continuously draws out the floating aquatic impurities and water, and transports them to the screen through the first pipe. The screen filters out the impurities, and the water flows back into the tank for blanching. This process removes impurities during the blanching of aquatic products, preventing bacterial growth and ensuring food safety. It also prevents excessive impurities from being carried away with the aquatic products, facilitating subsequent processing.

[0014] 2. Through the coordination of the conveyor belt, rollers, auxiliary rollers, auxiliary wheels, and protrusions, and utilizing the transmission between the rollers, auxiliary rollers, and auxiliary wheels and the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt can perform both lateral and upward conveying operations. With the aid of baffles, the aquatic products can move upwards with the conveyor belt. After blanching, the gravity during the upward conveying process allows a significant amount of residual water carried by the aquatic products to flow back to the water tank. This is crucial for subsequent processing stages. For example, during drying, marinating, or packaging, excessive moisture on the surface of the aquatic products can affect drying efficiency, lead to uneven marinating, or damage packaging materials due to moisture, thus affecting the product's shelf life and quality stability. Reducing the amount of water carried helps to precisely control the process parameters of subsequent processing, improving the overall quality and consistency of the product.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Example 1, referring to Figures 1 to 5 An automatic aquatic product blanching device includes a water tank 1, with multiple sets of rollers 2 rotatably connected to the water tank 1. A conveyor belt 3 drives the multiple sets of rollers 2. A frame 4 is connected to the water tank 1, and a pump body 5 is installed on the frame 4. The model of the pump body 5 is selected according to actual working needs, requiring the ability to transport hot water. One end of the pump body 5 is connected to a first pipe 6 and a second pipe 7, respectively. One end of the first pipe 6 is connected to a water inlet 8. A mesh plate 9 is provided in the water tank 1 to filter impurities in the water. When water containing impurities flows out from the second pipe 7 and falls onto the mesh plate 9, the mesh plate 9 can effectively intercept the impurities, allowing the filtered water to flow back into the water tank 1, achieving water recycling and ensuring the cleanliness of the water in the water tank 1. The mesh plate 9 is placed correspondingly to the second pipe 7. A heating component 12 is installed in the water tank 1 to heat the water in the water tank 1 to a boiling state, meeting the temperature requirements for aquatic product blanching. The heating component 12 can take various forms, such as electric heating elements or steam heating, which can precisely control the water temperature and ensure consistent blanching results. When aquatic products are blanched in the water tank 1, impurities will float to the surface. At this time, the pump 5 operates, drawing water containing impurities from the surface through the inlet 8. The water is then transported through the first pipe 6 and the second pipe 7 to the mesh plate 9 for filtration. The design of the inlet 8 effectively draws impurities and water from the surface into the first pipe 6 and transports it to the mesh plate 9 for impurity filtration, preventing impurities from affecting the blanching of aquatic products.

[0023] In this embodiment, multiple sets of protrusions 13 are machined on the conveyor belt 3. The protrusions 13 are used to facilitate the movement of aquatic products along the conveyor belt 3. A motor 14 is installed in the water tank 1. The model of the motor 14 is selected according to the actual working requirements. In addition, the motor 14 needs to have speed control so as to control the speed at which the conveyor belt 3 transports aquatic products, which facilitates blanching at different times according to different aquatic products. The output end of the motor 14 is connected to the corresponding roller 2. Multiple sets of auxiliary rollers 15 and auxiliary wheels 16 are rotatably connected in the water tank 1. The setting of auxiliary rollers 15 and auxiliary wheels 16 further optimizes the running trajectory and stability of the conveyor belt 3. The auxiliary rollers 15 mainly play the role of supporting the conveyor belt 3 and assisting in steering. When the conveyor belt 3 needs to change direction, the auxiliary rollers 15 can make the conveyor belt 3 transition smoothly and reduce the friction and wear between the conveyor belt 3 and other components. The auxiliary wheel 16 is mainly used to guide the conveyor belt 3 at specific positions, ensuring that the conveyor belt 3 maintains the correct position during transverse and inclined conveying, and preventing the conveyor belt 3 from running off-center. Multiple sets of auxiliary rollers 15 and auxiliary wheels 16 are in contact with the conveyor belt 3. Blocks 11 are connected to one end and the other end of the water tank 1. Through grooves 10 are opened at one end and the other end of the screen plate 9. Multiple sets of through grooves 10 are respectively movably connected to the corresponding blocks 11. The blocks 11 serve to position the screen plate 9. The through grooves 10 allow the screen plate 9 to be flexibly installed and removed on the blocks 11, facilitating the cleaning and replacement of the screen plate 9. The water tank 1 is equipped with There is also a thermometer 18, and multiple sets of valve bodies 19 are connected to the water tank 1. The thermometer 18 is used to monitor the temperature of the water in the water tank 1 in real time. The operator can adjust the working status of the heating component 12 in a timely manner according to the display of the thermometer 18 to ensure that the water temperature is always within the appropriate blanching temperature range. The valve bodies 19 can be used to control the inlet and outlet of the water tank 1 and adjust the water level in the water tank 1, which facilitates the management and maintenance of the water in the water tank 1. The setting of multiple sets of valve bodies 19 facilitates faster drainage and prevents other valve bodies 19 from working normally when one set of valve bodies 19 is accidentally blocked. The water tank 1 is connected to a base 17 at each of the four corners.

[0024] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, water is poured into the water tank 1, aligning the water level with the multiple water inlets 8. The water in the water tank 1 is heated to boiling using the heating component 12. At this time, the motor 14 is connected to an external power supply and drive device. The conveyor belt 3, with the cooperation of the rollers 2, auxiliary rollers 15, and auxiliary wheels 16, will then operate. Seafood is continuously fed into the water tank 1, and the conveyor belt 3 transports the seafood, allowing for blanching and transport within the water tank 1. The automatic blanching process is now in operation. In addition, while the aquatic products are being blanched, the pump body 5 is connected to an external drive device and power supply, so that the boiling water can float the impurities of the aquatic products to the surface. The water inlet 8 will transport the water and impurities together through the first pipe body 6 and the second pipe body 7, and drop them to the screen plate 9. The impurities are filtered by the screen plate 9, and the water flows back into the water tank 1 for reuse, which can prevent impurities from affecting the blanching quality. After blanching, the aquatic products will be tilted upward by the conveyor belt 3 and removed from the water, and the water will be controlled for subsequent processing.
