[0033] Reference Figures 1-4 A wind separator for processing quick-frozen vegetables is provided. This wind separator for processing quick-frozen vegetables includes a housing 1. The top of the housing 1 is equipped with a feed inlet 101 for feeding. The outer surface of the housing 1 is provided with a heat insulation structure, which includes a heat insulation cotton layer 601 and a heat insulation board 603 installed on the housing 1. A sandwich layer 602 is provided between the heat insulation cotton layer 601 and the heat insulation board 603. The sandwich layer 602 is filled with polyurethane foam material to prevent rapid heat loss. A discharge port is provided on one side wall of the housing 1. The discharge port includes an impurity outlet 102 and a finished product outlet 103. The impurity outlet 102 is located above the finished product outlet 103. The bottom surface of the finished product outlet 103 is set with an inclined surface 104 to facilitate the discharge of light impurities through the impurity outlet 102. Qualified materials are discharged through the inclined surface 104 and the finished product outlet 103.
[0034] The guide plate 2 is inclinedly installed inside the equipment housing 1 and is located below the feed inlet 101. The guide plate 2 is provided with an anti-stick coating to prevent sticking and guide the quick-frozen vegetables into the air separation area.
[0035] The heating device consists of a heating rod frame 3 installed at the bottom of the guide plate 2, several heating rods 4 installed on the heating rod frame 3, and a temperature controller 5 installed inside the equipment housing 1. The heating device is used to prevent frost from forming. Several heating rods 4 are equidistantly arranged along the width direction of the heating rod frame 3 and are connected in parallel to prevent frost from forming. In application, the temperature of the bottom of the guide plate 2 is controlled at 0℃-5℃ by the temperature controller 5. The guide plate 2 is made of stainless steel. The temperature setting is based on the following: when the temperature of the guide plate 2 is higher than the dew point temperature controlled by the environment, water vapor can be prevented from condensing into liquid water and then freezing. 0℃ is the phase transition point of ice and water. Maintaining the temperature of the guide plate ≥0℃ can prevent the formation of ice crystals. That is, the temperature is controlled at 0℃-5℃, which can effectively prevent frost from forming and ensure the cell integrity and quality stability of quick-frozen vegetables.
[0036] The multi-stage sorting device includes a main fan 7, a first auxiliary fan 8, and a second auxiliary fan 9. The wind speeds of the main fan 7, the first auxiliary fan 8, and the second auxiliary fan 9 gradually increase. The multi-stage sorting device separates light impurities from qualified materials through wind pressure gradient, so as to facilitate the separation of light impurities from qualified materials in multiple stages, while reducing the damage rate of the vegetable surface.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 It also includes a PLC controller 10 installed on the equipment housing 1. The PLC controller 10 has a sub-control function. The PLC controller 10 is electrically connected to an external power supply. The PLC controller 10 is used to control the start and stop of the heating rod 4, the temperature of the temperature controller 5, and the start and stop and wind speed of the main fan 7, the first auxiliary fan 8, and the second auxiliary fan 9, so as to facilitate intelligent regulation.
[0038] In actual use, the heating rod 4 is turned on by the PLC controller 10 and powered by an external power source. At this time, the heating rod 4 heats the outer shell 1 of the equipment until the preset threshold is reached. During this period, the temperature controller 5 plays the role of temperature control, while the heat preservation structure plays the role of preventing rapid temperature loss, thus preventing frost from forming.
[0039] Then, by starting the main fan 7, the first auxiliary fan 8, and the second auxiliary fan 9, the quick-frozen vegetables are fed into the equipment shell 1 through the feed inlet 101. At this time, the quick-frozen vegetables flow into the air separation area of the equipment shell 1 through the inclined guide plate 2. The main fan 7, the first auxiliary fan 8, and the second auxiliary fan 9 perform wind pressure gradient separation on the quick-frozen vegetables, and discharge light impurities through the impurity outlet 102. Qualified materials are discharged through the inclined surface 104 and the finished product outlet 103, which facilitates multi-stage separation of light impurities and qualified materials and reduces the damage rate of the vegetable surface. This device not only helps prevent frost condensation, but also performs multi-stage separation of light impurities and qualified materials, while reducing the damage rate of the vegetable surface.
