However, it is not possible to control the parameters such as temperature and volume of the water bath very well, which can easily lead to reduced effectiveness of medical supplies and worse taste of beverages. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a precise temperature-controlled water bath multi-compartment thawing machine that can accurately control various parameters of the water in the water bath during thawing, so as to ensure the use effect or taste of the thawed products.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A precision temperature-controlled water bath multi-compartment defrosting machine includes an outer casing and a water tank and a defrosting compartment installed inside the casing. The water inlet of the defrosting compartment is connected to the inside of the water tank via a water pipe. A water bath pump is installed on the water pipe. A water bath temperature probe and the water inlet are installed at the bottom of the defrosting compartment. A controller is also installed inside the outer casing. The water bath temperature probe and the water bath pump are electrically connected to the controller. The water tank has an opening on its upper side, and the defrosting compartment is located on the upper side of the water tank. An overflow hole is provided on the side wall of the defrosting compartment.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is provided at the opening on the upper side of the water tank, and the thawing chamber is mounted on the inner side of the upper part of the water tank via the mounting bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, the thawing chambers are provided in multiple quantities and their cross-sectional areas and / or cross-sectional shapes are not completely consistent.

[0009] Furthermore, the water bath pump is installed on the outer wall of the water tank.

[0010] Furthermore, the water tank is equipped with a water tank temperature probe and a heating plate, and the water tank temperature probe and the heating plate are electrically connected to the controller.

[0011] Furthermore, a circulation pump electrically connected to the controller is installed on the outer wall of the water tank, and the circulation pump is connected to the inside of the water tank through a circulation pipeline.

[0012] Furthermore, a vortex fan electrically connected to the controller is installed on the outer wall of the water tank, and the vortex fan is connected to the inside of the water tank through a main air pipe and multiple branch air pipes.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer casing includes a cover plate hinged to the upper end face of the outer casing, and the cover plate has ventilation holes.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer casing is equipped with a control screen and a barcode scanner, which are connected to the controller via data communication.

[0015] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] In the precision temperature-controlled water bath multi-compartment defrosting machine disclosed in this utility model, the water bath temperature probe detects the temperature of the water in the defrosting compartment in real time. When the water temperature is too low, the water bath pump starts to inject warm water into the defrosting compartment to ensure that the water is at a suitable temperature. Excess water will overflow from the overflow hole and flow back to the water tank along the outer wall of the defrosting compartment to achieve circulation. The overflow hole can keep the volume of water in the defrosting compartment constant, which makes it easy to accurately control the temperature of the water in the defrosting compartment, thereby ensuring the use effect or taste of the defrosted products.

[0017] In this invention, multiple thawing chambers are provided, and their cross-sectional areas and / or cross-sectional shapes are not completely consistent. The appropriate thawing chamber can be selected according to the volume and shape of the items to be thawed, so that the volume of water in the thawing chamber remains constant.

[0018] In this invention, a vortex fan is installed on the outer wall of the water tank. The vortex fan sends air into the water tank through the main air pipe and multiple branch air pipes. In conjunction with the circulation pump, the water temperature in all parts of the water tank is made uniform. The air can flow out through the vent holes on the cover plate, so as to stabilize the air pressure inside the defrosting machine. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the accompanying drawings is to supplement the description of the textual part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present invention, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the precision temperature-controlled water bath multi-compartment defrosting machine includes a casing 1, a water tank 2, and a defrosting compartment 22 installed inside the casing 1. The water inlet of the defrosting compartment 22 is connected to the interior of the water tank 2 via a water pipe, which is equipped with a water bath pump 3. A water bath temperature probe and a water inlet (not shown in the figure) are located at the bottom of the defrosting compartment 22. A controller is also installed inside the casing 1, and the water bath temperature probe and the water bath pump 3 are electrically connected to the controller. The water bath temperature probe monitors the water temperature in the defrosting compartment 22 in real time. When the water temperature is too low, the water bath pump 3 starts to inject warm water into the defrosting compartment 22 to bring the water to a suitable temperature.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the water tank 2 has an opening on its upper side, and the thawing chamber 22 is located on top of the water tank 2. The side wall of the thawing chamber 22 has an overflow hole 23. Excess water overflows from the overflow hole 23 and flows back into the water tank 2 along the outer wall of the thawing chamber 22, keeping the volume of water in the thawing chamber 22 constant. To ensure that excess water flows out quickly, multiple overflow holes 23 are provided on both longer side walls of the thawing chamber 22.

[0026] A mounting bracket 21 is provided at the opening on the upper side of the water tank 2. The thawing chamber 22 is installed on the inner side of the upper part of the water tank 2 through the mounting bracket 21, which can prevent water flowing down the outer wall of the thawing chamber 22 from flowing to the outside of the water tank 2, thus preventing short circuits and other safety issues.

[0027] Furthermore, multiple thawing chambers 22 are provided, and their cross-sectional areas and / or shapes are not entirely consistent. The thawing chambers 22 can simultaneously have different sizes and shapes, including round and square. Users can select the appropriate thawing chamber 22 according to the volume and shape of the items to be thawed, ensuring a constant volume of water within the thawing chamber 22. In this embodiment, an example is given using thawing chambers 22 with two different sizes. Figure 2The two thawing chambers 22 on the right side are larger. The two thawing chambers 22 with different sizes are supplied with water by water bath pumps 3 of different specifications. That is, the larger thawing chamber 22 is supplied with water by a water bath pump 3 with a larger power to ensure the efficiency of adjusting the water temperature in the thawing chamber 22.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the water bath pump 3 is installed on the outer wall of the water tank 2. The water bath pump 3 is connected to the inside of the water tank 2 through the water inlet pipe 31 and to the bottom water inlet of the thawing chamber 22 through the water supply pipe 32.

[0029] In this application, a water tank temperature probe and a heating plate (not shown in the figure) are installed in the water tank 2. The water tank temperature probe and the heating plate are electrically connected to the controller. The water tank temperature probe detects the temperature of the water in the water tank 2 in real time. When the temperature of the water in the water tank 2 is too low, the heating plate is activated to heat the water in the water tank 2 to ensure the heat exchange effect when injected into the defrosting chamber 22.

[0030] A circulation pump 4, which is electrically connected to the controller, is installed on the outer wall of the water tank 2. The circulation pump 4 is connected to the inside of the water tank 2 through a circulation pipeline. The heating plate is located in the middle of the bottom plate inside the water tank 2. After the circulation pump 4 is started, the water in the water tank 2 circulates and transfers the heat emitted by the heating plate to various positions inside the water tank 2.

[0031] Furthermore, a vortex fan 5 electrically connected to the controller is installed on the outer wall of the water tank 2. The vortex fan 5 is connected to the inside of the water tank 2 through the main air pipe 51 and multiple branch air pipes 52. After the vortex fan 5 is started, it delivers air to the main air pipe 51 and flows through the branch air pipes 52 to multiple different positions in the water tank 2, so that the temperature of the water in the water tank 2 is more uniform.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer casing 1 includes a cover plate 11 hinged to the upper surface of the outer casing 1. The cover plate 11 has multiple vent holes 12. The air injected by the vortex fan 5 eventually flows out through the vent holes 12 to avoid excessive air pressure inside the defrost unit.

[0033] The lower end of the water tank 2 is also provided with a drain outlet 24, through which the water in the water tank 2 can be drained, making it convenient to change the water in the water tank 2.

[0034] The outer casing 1 is equipped with a control panel 13 and a barcode scanner 14. The control panel 13 and the barcode scanner 14 are connected to the controller for data communication. The barcode scanner 14 can scan the QR code of the product to be thawed and record it. The control panel 13 can be used to input the required water bath temperature of the product to be thawed and to view parameters such as time and temperature.

[0035] This utility model of a precision temperature-controlled water bath multi-compartment defrosting machine has an opening on the upper side of the water tank. The defrosting compartment is located on the upper side of the water tank and has an overflow hole on its side wall. After the water bath pump is started according to the data detected by the water bath temperature probe, it injects warm water into the defrosting compartment. Excess water will overflow from the overflow hole and flow back to the water tank along the outer wall of the defrosting compartment, so that the volume of water in the defrosting compartment is constant, which makes it easy to accurately control the temperature of the water in the defrosting compartment, thereby ensuring the use effect or taste of the defrosted products.
