[0002] With social progress and improved living standards, people can enjoy different kinds of seafood in various regions. When selling seafood in shopping malls or seafood supermarkets, it is necessary to refrigerate or freeze it for preservation. Putting it in freezers or cold storage makes it inconvenient for customers to see the actual product and also makes it inconvenient for merchants to promote and advertise.
[0003] Existing seafood refrigerated display cases use a centralized display and storage method, with various seafood products piled up haphazardly together and covered with glass domes. When consumers are viewing or purchasing, some seafood may obstruct each other's view, making it difficult to see and reducing the effectiveness of the display case. To address this, we have developed a controlled-flow seafood freezing display case structure to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0025] 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.
[0026] For a specific implementation example, please refer to Implementation Example 1. Figure 1-8 This utility model is a structure for a controlled-flow frozen seafood display cabinet, including a display cabinet 1, a freezing component 2, an ice storage component 3, and a power component 4. A water tank 101 is installed at the bottom of the display cabinet 1 and is mounted on an external mobile device. Several storage cavities 102 are opened on one side of the display cabinet 1, and each storage cavity 102 is equipped with a freezing component 2. The freezing component 2 includes a drip plate 201, which is fixedly installed inside the corresponding storage cavity 102. Several drip holes 202 are opened on the surface of the drip plate 201. The ice storage component 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank 101. An L-shaped plate 301 is fixedly installed on one side of the ice storage component 3. An ice storage cavity 302 corresponding to the storage cavity 102 is opened on the inner side of the ice storage component 3. The power component 4 includes a worm gear 401 corresponding to the ice storage cavity 302. The worm gear 401 and the L-shaped plate 301 are rotated and engaged by a rotating shaft.
[0027] Specifically, a sliding door 103 is slidably installed on the side of the display cabinet 1 near the storage cavity 102. Each storage cavity 102 is connected to the outside of the storage cavity 102 by a water pipe 104. The water pipe 104 is connected to the inside of the corresponding storage cavity 102 and to the inside of the water tank 101.
[0028] Furthermore, a water receiving box 203 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drip plate 201, and the drip plate 201 is connected to the interior of the corresponding water receiving box 203. The water pipe 104 is also connected to the interior of the corresponding water receiving box 203. The freezing component 2 also includes a display plate 204, which is combined with the drip plate 201 to form a freezing chamber 205. The freezing chamber 205 is connected to the interior of the corresponding ice storage chamber 302. The display plate 204 is fixedly installed inside the corresponding storage chamber 102, and the display plate 204 is combined with the top of the corresponding storage chamber 102 to form a display chamber 206. The sides of the display chamber 206 are made of glass, allowing customers to directly view the seafood inside. The display chamber 206 is compatible with the corresponding sliding door 103. A refrigeration device 303 is installed inside the L-shaped panel 301. The refrigeration device 303 includes a compressor system, a condenser system, an expansion valve system, and an evaporator system. Through the action of each system (this process is existing technology and will not be described here), the refrigeration device 303 achieves a cooling effect. The refrigeration device 303 is connected to each ice storage chamber 302 through a ventilation pipe 304.
[0029] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: ice blocks in the ice storage component 3 are transported to the corresponding freezing chamber 205. Then, the sliding door 103 is opened, and seafood is placed in each display chamber 206 according to type. Then, the sliding door 103 is closed, and the seafood can be displayed. When customers want to view the seafood, they can open the sliding door 103 and take out the corresponding seafood product for display. After a long period of display, the ice blocks inside the freezing chamber 205 melt, and the melted ice water drips into the water collection box 203 along the drip hole 202. The ice water in each water collection box 203 is collected in the water storage tank 101 through the water pipe 104. At the same time, ice blocks are added to the freezing chamber 205 through the ice storage component 3 to continue to refrigerate and freeze the seafood in the display chamber 206.
[0030] In the second specific embodiment, based on the first specific embodiment, the ventilation pipe 304 is connected to the interior of each ice storage cavity 302, and the ventilation pipe 304 is connected to the air outlet of the refrigeration equipment 303. The L-shaped plate 301 has an ice inlet 305 corresponding to the ice storage cavity 302 on the side near the worm gear 401 (when the refrigeration equipment 302 is turned on, cold air enters the interior of each ice storage cavity 302 along the ventilation pipe 304 to prevent the ice in the ice storage cavity 302 from melting).
[0031] Specifically, a fixed inclined plate 306 is fixedly installed inside the ice storage cavity 302. An ice pushing plate 307 is slidably installed between the fixed inclined plate 306 and the bottom of the ice storage cavity 302. Two ear plates 308 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed inclined plate 306. A positioning threaded rod 309 is rotatably installed between the two ear plates 308. The positioning threaded rod 309 is fixedly connected to the corresponding worm gear 401. The positioning threaded rod 309 is threadedly engaged with the corresponding ice pushing plate 307.
[0032] Furthermore, two limiting plates 310 are fixedly installed on one side of the L-shaped plate 301. A drive motor 311 is installed on the top of one of the limiting plates 310. A worm gear 402 is rotatably installed between the two limiting plates 310. The worm gear 402 meshes with each worm wheel 401. The drive motor 311 is fixedly connected to one end of the worm gear 402.
[0033] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: Ice blocks are added from the ice inlet 305 into the ice storage cavity 302. At this time, the ice blocks fall to the top of the fixed inclined plate 306 and slide down the fixed inclined plate 306 into the freezing cavity 205. At this time, the ice blocks tend to accumulate below the fixed inclined plate 306. In the initial state, each ice pushing plate 307 is in contact with the inner side of the L-shaped plate 301. The drive motor 311 is controlled to drive the worm gear 402 to rotate. The rotation of each worm wheel 401 drives the positioning threaded rod 309 to rotate, and the ice pushing plate 307 moves until one side of the ice pushing plate 307 is in contact with the ice block. At this time, the ice pushing plate 307 can continue to move. The ice block below the fixed inclined plate 306 is pushed into the freezing chamber 205. At this time, the area below the fixed inclined plate 306 is blocked by the ice-pushing plate 307, and the ice block above the fixed inclined plate 306 will not fall down. Then, the drive motor 311 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, which drives the worm gear 402 to rotate in the opposite direction. Each worm wheel 401 rotates in the opposite direction, which drives the positioning threaded rod 309 to rotate in the opposite direction. The ice-pushing plate 307 moves in the opposite direction, creating a gap below the fixed inclined plate 306. At this time, the ice block falls down again. Then, the ice-pushing plate 307 is controlled to push the ice block. By moving the ice-pushing plate 307 back and forth, ice blocks can be added to the freezing chamber 205.
