Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] To allow modern people to enjoy food as if it were actually cooked, even in their busy daily lives, many types of frozen foods have been developed. In fact, with the advancement of freezing and transportation technologies, the variety of frozen foods is constantly increasing. Frozen foods are foods that users can cook simply by thawing them. These frozen foods typically undergo a flash-freezing process after cooking. This process uses large-scale freezing equipment (freezers) and conveyor belts to supply various foods to the freezing equipment. The cooked foods are flash-frozen as they are continuously transported above the conveyor belt.

[0003] Existing frozen food conveying devices often result in stacking of frozen foods when placed on the conveyor belt. This stacking causes multiple items to freeze together, affecting subsequent packaging and consumption. Furthermore, the height of the stacked food increases the risk of it slipping off the conveyor belt and falling off. The devices fail to prevent the frozen food from stacking or falling off the conveyor belt. Additionally, after transporting frozen food for an extended period, debris and waste accumulate on the surface of the conveyor belt, which, without proper cleaning, contaminates both the conveyor belt and the frozen food, resulting in a lack of cleanliness and hygiene.

[0004] Therefore, a frozen food conveying device is provided. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a frozen food conveying device that can limit the stacking of frozen foods and prevent them from slipping off the conveyor belt, and can scrape and clean debris and waste adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt.

An installation block 26 is slidably installed inside the installation groove 11. The limiting roller 10 is rotatably installed between two installation blocks 26. An installation rod 9 is fixed to the top end of the installation block 26. The top end of the installation rod 9 slides through the first connecting hole 27. A spring 25 is slidably sleeved on its surface. A first nut 24 is connected to its top end.

[0028] The top surface of the side plate 1 has a second connecting hole 19. Support rods 3 are evenly fixed on the outer side of the limiting plate 5. The support rods 3 slide through the second connecting hole 19. A third nut 4 is connected to its surface and at both ends of the second connecting hole 19. The limiting plate 5 is set vertically.

[0029] A drive roller 12 is rotatably mounted at both ends between the two side plates 1. The drive roller 12 rotates through the inside of the conveyor belt 8. A motor 2 is mounted at one end of one drive roller 12.

[0030] Ventilation holes 7 are evenly distributed on the surface of the conveyor belt 8, and anti-slip strips 6 are evenly fixed on the surface of the conveyor belt 8. The anti-slip strips 6 and the ventilation holes 7 are staggered and spaced apart. The cross-section of the anti-slip strips 6 is triangular to prevent relative sliding between the frozen food and the conveyor belt 8, which would affect the conveying of the frozen food.

[0031] In use, above the conveyor belt 8, the limiting plate 5 rotates and the limiting roller 10 is elastically installed. During the conveying process of frozen food placed on the conveyor belt 8, the mounting block 26 is moved up and down along the mounting groove 11 according to the height of the frozen food by the mounting rod 9 and the first nut 24, and the distance between the limiting roller 10 and the surface of the conveyor belt 8 is adjusted to facilitate the passage of single-layer frozen food, limit the stacking of frozen food, and push the stacked frozen food apart. Therefore, the frozen food moving on the conveyor belt 8 can be prevented from stacking and frozen between multiple frozen foods. The limiting plate 5 is slidably set on both sides of the conveyor belt 8 to prevent the frozen food from falling off the conveyor belt 8.

[0032] Example 2: A frozen food conveying device, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the scraping mechanism includes a scraping strip 15. A receiving box 14 is installed at the bottom of the discharge end of the conveyor belt 8. The receiving box 14 has a rectangular structure and is set horizontally. The scraping strip 15 is vertically connected to the top of the inside of the receiving box 14, and its bottom end makes brush contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 8.

[0033] The receiving box 14 has connecting rods 16 fixed at both ends. One side of the side plate 1 has a connecting groove 13. The connecting groove 13 is U-shaped and horizontal. The connecting rod 16 is slidably inserted into the connecting groove 13. A second nut 17 is connected to its surface and located outside the connecting groove 13.

[0034] The air conditioning system includes an air conditioner 18 and an air duct 21.

The other end of the air duct 22 is connected to the middle cavity of the air duct 21. The air duct 21 is installed at the top of the inside of the conveyor belt 8.

[0035] The air duct 21 is a hollow rectangular tube structure and is horizontally slidably installed at the top of the inside of the conveyor belt 8. The top of the air duct 21 has a blow hole 23, which blows upward toward the top of the inside of the conveyor belt 8. The bottom of the air duct 21 is evenly equipped with reinforcing rods 20 fixed between the two side plates 1.

[0036] In use, a scraper 15 is installed below the discharge end of the conveyor belt 8 via a receiving box 14. The receiving box 14 is detachably connected to the side plate 1 via a connecting rod 16, which facilitates disassembly, replacement and cleaning. As the conveyor belt 8 transports frozen food, the top of the scraper 15 scrapes and cleans the surface of the conveyor belt 8 to remove adhering impurities and debris, keeping the surface of the conveyor belt 8 clean and hygienic for transporting frozen food.

[0037] Meanwhile, a cold air duct 21 is installed in the middle of the inside of the conveyor belt 8 by a reinforcing rod 20. The cold air duct 21 is connected to the air conditioner 18 through the air pipe 22. It can blow air to the top of the inside of the conveyor belt 8 through the air blowing hole 23, and in conjunction with the air vent 7 on the surface of the conveyor belt 8, it can blow cold air to cool the surface of the conveyor belt 8, so as to prevent frozen food from thawing and sticking to the conveyor belt 8 when it is transported on the conveyor belt 8.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
