Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a microwave defrosting device for food processing plants. Background Technology

[0002] Microwave defrosting technology in food processing is an efficient, environmentally friendly defrosting method that can ensure food quality. Because microwaves can penetrate deep into the material and heat it directly without the need for conduction, they can heat the food from the inside out, achieving rapid defrosting.

[0003] A high-efficiency microwave defrosting device for food raw materials, as mentioned in an existing Chinese patent (authorization announcement number: CN221011811U), can transport frozen food to a defrosting box via a conveyor belt for defrosting. The continuous movement of the conveyor belt can continuously transport frozen food into the defrosting box, allowing the device to continuously defrost the frozen food and then convey the defrosted food out of the defrosting box. This eliminates the need for staff to repeatedly take the defrosted food out of the microwave equipment, thus improving the production efficiency of food processing plants.

[0004] While existing microwave defrosting methods can clean the conveyor belt using a water tank, reducing the inconvenience of manual cleaning, food debris removed during the conveyor belt cleaning process may remain in the water tank. This residual food debris may enter the water tank's drain pipes or cleaning nozzles, causing blockages and potentially affecting the normal flow and spraying of cleaning water, thus reducing the cleaning effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a microwave defrosting device for food processing plants to address the problem that food debris remaining in the water tank may enter the drain pipe or cleaning nozzle, causing blockage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A microwave defrosting device for a food processing plant includes a defrosting chamber with a defrosting groove on its inner side. A plurality of microwave tubes are symmetrically installed on the inner side of the defrosting groove. A conveyor belt is installed on the inner side of the defrosting groove. A cleaning water tank is fixedly connected to the bottom of the defrosting chamber. Two sets of fixing blocks are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer side of the cleaning water tank. A guide roller is rotatably connected between the two fixing blocks. Through holes are symmetrically opened on the outer side of the cleaning water tank. A cleaning mechanism is symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the cleaning water tank.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff places the frozen food on the conveyor belt, then starts the conveyor belt to transport the frozen food to the defrosting box. The staff then starts the microwave tube to heat and defrost the frozen food. With the guidance of the guide roller, the conveyor belt enters the cleaning water tank, which cleans the conveyor belt, thus completing the microwave defrosting of the food. The cleaning mechanism can reduce the risk of food debris entering the cleaning water tank.

[0009] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism includes a horizontal plate symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning water tank. Several springs are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the top of the horizontal plate. A lifting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the springs. A scraper is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate. The scraper abuts against the conveyor belt.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic potential energy of the spring is released so that the scraper can always contact the conveyor belt with appropriate force, thereby scraping off food scraps, stains and other impurities on the conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer side of the lifting plate is symmetrically fixedly connected with sliders, and the outer side of the cleaning water tank is symmetrically opened with two sliding grooves. The sliders are adapted to the sliding grooves and are slidably connected to the sliding grooves.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the slider and the slide provide a guiding function for the lifting plate, so that the lifting plate can maintain the correct movement trajectory when moving.

[0013] Furthermore, a placement seat is fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning water tank, a placement groove is provided on the top of the placement seat, a collection box is slidably arranged on the inside of the placement groove, the top of the collection box is open, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outside of the collection box.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting the top of the collection box to be open, food scraps will fall directly into the collection box.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer side of the collection box is symmetrically and fixedly connected with a connecting plate, and the outer side of the placement seat is symmetrically and fixedly connected with a connecting frame. The connecting plate and the connecting frame are slidably disposed. The top of the connecting frame is threadedly connected with a threaded rod, and the top of the threaded rod is fixedly connected with a knob. The bottom end of the threaded rod passes through the connecting frame and is rotatably connected to a limit block. The bottom of the limit block is fixedly connected with a metal plate, and the bottom of the metal plate is set with a rough metal surface.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, rotating the knob causes the limiting block to move downward and contact the connecting plate to fix it, ensuring that the collection box can stably collect food scraps.

[0017] Furthermore, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the top of the metal plate, the top of the guide rod passes through the connecting frame, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the connecting frame.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rod provides an additional support point for the limiting block, so that the limiting block can remain stable when moving.

[0019] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects;

[0020] 1. In this application, when cleaning the conveyor belt, a scraper is used to scrape off food scraps, stains and other impurities by contacting the conveyor belt, thereby reducing the risk of food scraps entering the cleaning water tank, thus ensuring the normal use of the drainage pipe or cleaning nozzle, and ensuring the cleaning effect of the conveyor belt.

[0021] 2. In this application, when scraped food crumbs fall, the top of the collection box is designed to be open, so that the falling food crumbs will fall directly into the collection box, thereby reducing the impact of food crumbs on the working environment and helping to maintain the cleanliness of the working environment.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a microwave defrosting device for a food processing plant.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A microwave defrosting device for a food processing plant includes a defrosting box 1, a defrosting groove 2 on the inner side of the defrosting box 1, a plurality of microwave tubes 3 symmetrically installed on the inner side of the defrosting groove 2, a conveyor belt 4 installed on the inner side of the defrosting groove 2, a cleaning water tank 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the defrosting box 1, two sets of fixing blocks 6 symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer side of the cleaning water tank 5, a guide roller 7 rotatably connected between the two fixing blocks 6, through holes 8 symmetrically opened on the outer side of the cleaning water tank 5, and a cleaning mechanism symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the cleaning water tank 5.

[0031] When defrosting food in the microwave, the staff places the frozen food on the conveyor belt 4, then starts the conveyor belt 4 to transport the frozen food to the defrosting box 1. The staff then starts the microwave tube 3 to heat and defrost the frozen food. Guided by the guide roller 7, the conveyor belt 4 enters the cleaning water tank 5. The cleaning water tank 5 can clean the conveyor belt, thus completing the microwave defrosting of the food. The cleaning mechanism can remove food debris from the conveyor belt 4, reducing the risk of food debris entering the cleaning water tank 5.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The cleaning mechanism includes a horizontal plate 9 symmetrically fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning water tank 5. Several springs 10 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the top of the horizontal plate 9. A lifting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the springs 10. A scraper 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 11. The scraper 12 abuts against the conveyor belt.

[0033] Among them, the outer side of the lifting plate 11 is symmetrically fixedly connected with sliders 13, and the outer side of the cleaning water tank 5 is symmetrically opened with two sliding grooves. The sliders 13 are adapted to the sliding grooves and are slidably connected to the sliding grooves.

[0034] When cleaning the conveyor belt 4, the scraper 12 will move with the movement of the conveyor belt 4, thereby driving the lifting plate 11 to move. The movement of the lifting plate 11 will squeeze the spring 10, causing the spring 10 to compress and generate elastic potential energy. Through the release of the elastic potential energy of the spring 10, the scraper 12 can always be in contact with the conveyor belt 4 with appropriate force, thereby scraping off food scraps, stains and other impurities on the conveyor belt 4.

[0035] When the lifting plate 11 moves, the slider 13 and the slide groove provide guidance for the lifting plate 11, so that the lifting plate 11 can maintain the correct movement trajectory when moving.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4A placement seat 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning water tank 5. A placement groove 15 is provided on the top of the placement seat 14. A collection box 16 is slidably arranged on the inside of the placement groove 15. The top of the collection box 16 is open. A handle 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the collection box 16.

[0037] The outer side of the collection box 16 is symmetrically and fixedly connected with a connecting plate 18, and the outer side of the placement seat 14 is symmetrically and fixedly connected with a connecting frame 24. The connecting plate 18 and the connecting frame 24 are slidably arranged. The top of the connecting frame 24 is threadedly connected with a threaded rod 19. The top of the threaded rod 19 is fixedly connected with a knob 20. The bottom end of the threaded rod 19 passes through the connecting frame 24 and is rotatably connected with a limit block 21. The bottom of the limit block 21 is fixedly connected with a metal plate 22. The bottom of the metal plate 22 is set with a rough metal surface.

[0038] In addition, a guide rod 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the metal plate 22, and the top of the guide rod 23 passes through the connecting frame 24, and the guide rod 23 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 24.

[0039] When scraped food scraps fall, they fall downwards under the influence of gravity. The top of the collection box 16 is open, so the falling food scraps fall directly into the collection box 16. When the scraps in the collection box 16 reach a certain amount, the staff can pull the collection box 16 out of the placement slot 15 through the handle 17 for cleaning, thereby reducing the impact of food scraps on the working environment and helping to maintain the cleanliness of the working environment.

[0040] When the collection box 16 is installed, the collection box 16 moves and drives the connecting plate 18 into the connecting frame 24. At this time, the knob 20 is turned to drive the threaded rod 19 downward. The threaded rod 19 drives the limiting block 21 downward to abut and fix the connecting plate 18, which reduces the risk of the collection box 16 being displaced or falling off due to vibration, collision or other reasons during use, and ensures that the collection box 16 can stably collect food scraps.

[0041] When the limit block 21 moves, the guide rod 23 provides an additional support point for the limit block 21, so that the limit block 21 can remain stable when moving.

[0042] Working principle: The operator places frozen food on the conveyor belt 4 and starts the conveyor belt 4 to transport the frozen food to the defrosting box 1. Then, the operator starts the microwave tube 3 to heat and defrost the frozen food. With the guidance of the guide roller 7, the conveyor belt 4 enters the cleaning water tank 5. The cleaning water tank 5 can clean the conveyor belt, thus completing the microwave defrosting of the food. When cleaning the conveyor belt 4, the scraper 12 will move with the movement of the conveyor belt 4, thereby driving the lifting plate 11 to move. The movement of the lifting plate 11 will squeeze the spring 10, causing the spring 10 to compress and generate elastic potential energy. Through the release of the elastic potential energy of the spring 10, the scraper 12 can always keep in contact with the conveyor belt 4 with appropriate force, thereby scraping off food debris, stains and other impurities on the conveyor belt 4.
