Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shrimp processing technology, specifically to a water circulation system for a flowing water thawing tank. Background Technology

[0002] Thawing is a common step in shrimp processing. Running water thawing is a relatively good method for thawing shrimp, as it uses flowing water to accelerate heat transfer, making the thawing process more uniform, reducing the risk of microbial growth, and better maintaining the quality and taste of the food. Natural thawing is slow, easily contaminated by environmental microorganisms, and prolonged thawing may lead to a decline in food quality and loss of nutrients. Therefore, running water circulation thawing is often used.

[0003] Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN222510153U discloses a water circulation device for a flowing thawing tank. This device, through the coordinated arrangement of a thawing tank, a support net, filter cotton, a mesh layer, a water inlet tank, a first water pump, an inlet pipe, a drain tank, a replenishment water tank, a second water pump, a replenishment pipe, a metal mesh trough, and a frame, allows the operator to place the metal mesh trough into the thawing tank, add an appropriate amount of water, and then place the meat to be thawed into the metal mesh trough. The good thermal conductivity of the metal mesh trough facilitates thawing, and the debris generated during thawing sinks through the mesh openings of the metal mesh trough and falls onto the mesh layer, preventing debris from accumulating at the bottom of the thawing tank. However, while this flowing thawing tank water circulation device can achieve thawing, it is not convenient for multiple filtrations of the thawing water source or for recycling, resulting in poor practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a ground-to-ground water circulation system for a water thawing pool, which can effectively solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a ground-to-ground water circulation system for a flowing water thawing tank, including a flowing water thawing tank body, a conveyor belt, a rotating roller and a nozzle assembly. The flowing water thawing tank body has water outlets on both sides near the center line. A filter box is fixedly installed at one end of the flowing water thawing tank body near the water outlet. A first baffle with circular filter holes and a second baffle with elongated filter holes are sequentially inserted and installed at one end of the filter box near the flowing water thawing tank body. A conveying pipe is provided at the other end of the filter box away from the flowing water thawing tank body. A filter assembly fixed to one side of the flowing water thawing tank body is provided at the other end of the conveying pipe away from the filter box.

[0006] The filter assembly includes a fixed box, inside which a partition plate is fixedly installed, and a filter box for filtration is inserted and installed on the inner surface of the fixed box.

[0007] Preferably, the length of the partition plate is shorter than the length of the fixed box, and the fixed box is divided into a filtration area and a water outlet area by the partition plate.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, the filtration zone can centrally filter the incoming water, and the filtered water flows into the outlet zone, realizing the separate operation of filtration and outlet, making the filtration process clearer and more reasonable, and helping to improve filtration efficiency and water quality stability.

[0009] Preferably, a water pump is fixedly installed on the side of the fixed box near the water outlet area, and a water outlet pipe is provided at the other end of the water pump. The other end of the water outlet pipe away from the water pump is connected to the nozzle assembly.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the water pump can extract the filtered water from the outlet area and transport it to the nozzle assembly through the outlet pipe, which can realize the recycling of thawing water, reduce the waste of water resources, and at the same time ensure that the nozzle assembly has sufficient water pressure for water spraying operation, so that the nozzle can evenly spray water onto the items that need to be thawed in the body of the flowing water thawing pool, improving thawing efficiency and uniformity.

[0011] Preferably, a handle is fixedly installed at the end of the filter box away from the fixed box, and fixing bolts extending to the inner surface of the fixed box are threadedly connected at the four corners of the end of the filter box away from the fixed box.

[0012] The above technical solution allows operators to easily install, disassemble, and clean the filter box. When there are many impurities in the filter box that need to be cleaned, the operator can easily remove it from the fixed box using the handle. The fixing bolt ensures the filter box is firmly installed in the fixed box and prevents the filter box from shifting under the impact of water flow.

[0013] Preferably, the nozzle assembly includes a fixed base, a second connecting pipe is provided on the top of the fixed base, a third connecting pipe is provided at the other end of the second connecting pipe away from the fixed base, and a plurality of nozzle bodies are arranged at equal intervals on the side of the third connecting pipe close to the main body of the thawing pool.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the fixed base plays a role in stabilizing and supporting the nozzle assembly, ensuring that the nozzle body is fixed in position during operation. Connecting pipe two and connecting pipe three evenly distribute water from the water outlet pipe to each nozzle body. Multiple nozzle bodies distributed at equal intervals can spray water into the body of the water thawing pool in an all-round and uniform manner, so that the thawing items can fully contact the water flow, effectively improving the uniformity and speed of thawing.

[0015] Preferably, the filter box is interconnected with the filter assembly through a conveying pipe, a connecting pipe is provided on one side of the conveying pipe, and a booster pump is provided at the other end of the connecting pipe away from the conveying pipe.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the conveying pipeline realizes the transportation of thawed water from the filter box to the filter assembly, further purifying the water quality. The booster pump pressurizes the water flow in the conveying pipeline through the connecting pipe, ensuring that the water flow can pass smoothly through the filter assembly, improving the filtration efficiency. The water flow still has enough pressure to reach the nozzle assembly, maintaining the normal operation of the system and a good thawing effect.

[0017] Preferably, a positioning block is provided on the outer edge of the body of the flowing water thawing tank near the filter box. The positioning block is located on the top of the first baffle, and a positioning bolt that penetrates into the interior of the body of the flowing water thawing tank is threaded to the top of the positioning block.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the positioning block and the positioning bolt work together to position and fix the first baffle. When installing the first baffle, the positioning block can quickly determine its installation position to ensure the accuracy of the installation. The positioning bolt firmly fixes the first baffle to the body of the thawing pool and prevents the first baffle from shaking or displacing under the impact of water flow.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a ground-to-ground water circulation system for a flowing water thawing tank, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This water circulation system for a thawing tank can initially filter the water inside the thawing tank through a first baffle with circular filter holes and a second baffle with elongated filter holes. Then, the thawing water can be transported from the filter box to the filter assembly through the delivery pipe for further purification. This makes it easy to filter the thawing water for subsequent use.

[0021] 2. This water circulation system for the thawing tank uses thawing water that has undergone two filtration processes. The thawing water, along with a water pump, enters the nozzle assembly. Multiple nozzles distributed at equal intervals spray water evenly and comprehensively into the thawing tank, ensuring that the thawing items are fully in contact with the water flow. This effectively improves the uniformity and speed of thawing. Furthermore, the recycling of thawing water greatly reduces water waste. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The filter assembly 11 includes a fixed box 1101, a partition plate 1102 is fixedly installed inside the fixed box 1101, and a filter box 1106 for filtration is inserted and installed on the inner surface of the fixed box 1101.

[0033] Specifically, the length of the partition plate 1102 is shorter than the length of the fixed box 1101. The fixed box 1101 is divided into a filtration zone 1103 and an outlet zone 1104 by the partition plate 1102. The advantage is that the filtration zone 1103 can centrally filter the incoming water, and the filtered water flows into the outlet zone 1104, realizing the separate operation of filtration and water outlet, making the filtration process clearer and more reasonable, and helping to improve filtration efficiency and water quality stability.

[0034] Specifically, a water pump 1105 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixed box 1101 near the water outlet area 1104. The other end of the water pump 1105 is provided with a water outlet pipe 12. The other end of the water outlet pipe 12 away from the water pump 1105 is connected to the nozzle assembly 13. The advantage is that the water pump 1105 can extract the filtered water from the water outlet area 1104 and deliver it to the nozzle assembly 13 through the water outlet pipe 12, which can realize the recycling of thawing water, reduce the waste of water resources, and at the same time ensure that the nozzle assembly 13 has sufficient water pressure for water spraying, so that the nozzle 1304 can evenly spray water onto the items that need to be thawed in the body of the flowing water thawing pool 1, improving thawing efficiency and uniformity.

[0035] Specifically, a handle 1107 is fixedly installed at the other end of the filter box 1106 away from the fixed box 1101. At the four corners of the other end of the filter box 1106 away from the fixed box 1101, there are threaded fixing bolts 1108 extending to the inner surface of the fixed box 1101. The advantage is that the handle 1107 makes it convenient for operators to install, disassemble and clean the filter box 1106.

The fixing bolts 1108 ensure the firmness of the filter box 1106 installed in the fixed box 1101 and prevent the filter box 1106 from shifting under the impact of water flow.

[0036] Example 2: Figure 2-7 As shown, this is an improvement on the previous embodiment.

[0037] Specifically, the nozzle assembly 13 includes a fixed base 1301, a connecting pipe 2 1302 is provided on the top of the fixed base 1301, and a connecting pipe 3 1303 is provided at the other end of the connecting pipe 2 1302 away from the fixed base 1301.

The advantage is that the fixed base 1301 plays a role in stably supporting the nozzle assembly 13, ensuring that the nozzle bodies 1304 are fixed in position during operation. The connecting pipe 2 1302 and the connecting pipe 3 1303 evenly distribute water from the water outlet pipe 12 to each nozzle body 1304. Multiple nozzle bodies 1304 arranged in a equidistant manner can spray water into the main body 1 of the water thawing tank in an all-round and uniform manner, so that the thawing items can fully contact the water flow, effectively improving the uniformity and speed of thawing.

[0038] Specifically, the filter box 6 is interconnected with the filter assembly 11 through the conveying pipe 8. A connecting pipe 9 is provided on one side of the conveying pipe 8, and a booster pump 10 is provided at the other end of the connecting pipe 9 away from the conveying pipe 8. The advantage is that the conveying pipe 8 realizes the transportation of thawing water from the filter box 6 to the filter assembly 11, further purifying the water quality. The booster pump 10 pressurizes the water flow in the conveying pipe 8 through the connecting pipe 9, ensuring that the water flow can pass smoothly through the filter assembly 11, improving the filtration efficiency. The water flow still has enough pressure to reach the nozzle assembly 13, maintaining the normal operation of the system and a good thawing effect.

[0039] Specifically, a positioning block 14 is provided at the outer edge of the main body 1 of the thawing tank near the filter box 6. The positioning block 14 is located on the top of the first baffle 5. The top of the positioning block 14 is threaded with a positioning bolt 15 that penetrates into the interior of the main body 1 of the thawing tank. The advantage is that the positioning block 14 and the positioning bolt 15 work together to position and fix the first baffle 5. When installing the first baffle 5, its installation position can be quickly determined by the positioning block 14 to ensure the accuracy of the installation. The positioning bolt 15 firmly fixes the first baffle 5 to the main body 1 of the thawing tank, preventing the first baffle 5 from shaking or shifting under the impact of water flow.

[0040] Working principle: During use, the water outlets 3 on both sides of the main body 1 of the thawing tank near the center line allow the thawed water to flow out. The outflowing water first enters the filter box 6. Inside the box, a first baffle 5 with circular filter holes and a second baffle 7 with elongated filter holes are installed in sequence to filter the thawed water in stages, intercepting impurities of different shapes and sizes. The water that has passed through the initial filtration enters the fixed box 1101 of the filter assembly 11 through the conveying pipe 8. Inside the fixed box 1101, in the filter area 1103 divided by the partition plate 1102, the filter box 110... The water is further purified by the booster pump 10, which pressurizes the water flow in the delivery pipe 8 through the connecting pipe 1 9 to ensure that the water flows smoothly through the filter assembly 11. The purified water flows into the outlet area 1104 of the fixed box 1101, and the water pump 1105 draws it out and delivers it to the nozzle assembly 13 through the outlet pipe 12. The fixed seat 1301 in the nozzle assembly 13 provides stable support. The connecting pipe 2 1302 and the connecting pipe 3 1303 evenly distribute the water to multiple equally spaced nozzle bodies 1304, spraying water into the thawing pool body 1 to realize the circulation of thawing water.
