[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] This embodiment provides a thawing device, mainly to solve the problem that current bubble thawing machines require users to remove meat pieces one by one after thawing, which is not only cumbersome but also labor-intensive. The following technical solution is provided, which will be discussed in conjunction with... Figures 1-4 Please provide a detailed explanation:

[0023] A thawing device for food processing includes: a processing chamber 1 with a placement chamber 2 rotatably mounted on its inner wall. In use, the user introduces water into the inner wall of the processing chamber 1 through a water injection pipe (a valve is provided on the surface of the water injection pipe to control its flow) via a water injection pipe on the surface of the processing chamber 1. Then, meat pieces are placed inside the processing chamber 1, and finally, air bubbles are introduced into the processing chamber 1 through an air bubble unit 5 to quickly thaw the meat pieces (the air bubbles can be introduced into the inner wall of the processing chamber 1 through several small holes 3 all opened on the inner wall of the placement chamber 2). When it is necessary to remove the meat pieces, the user controls the rotation of the placement chamber 2 through a first drive unit 4, thereby pouring the meat pieces out from the inner wall of the placement chamber 2 without manual removal. The main component of the placement chamber 2 is a mounting ring 21 rotatably mounted on the surface of the processing chamber 1. In use, the user slides and inserts the main chamber body 22 into the inner wall of the mounting ring 21, and then restricts it through a limiting unit 23. The main component of the first drive unit 4 is a first liquid... The pressure rod 41 and the empty tube 42 have a slidably inserted tube 43 at one end of the empty tube 42. The other ends of both the first hydraulic rod 41 and the tube 43 are rotatably mounted on the surface of the mounting ring 21. During use, the user controls the extension and retraction of the first hydraulic rod 41 via a controller 44 fixedly mounted on the surface of the processing chamber 1, thereby driving the mounting ring 21 to rotate and thus driving the main chamber 22. During this process, the tube 43 slides against the inner wall of the empty tube 42, ensuring the stability of the mounting ring 21 during movement. The main component of the bubble unit 5... The components are: an air outlet pipe 52 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the processing chamber 1, and several aeration pipes 53 fixedly passing through the surface of the air outlet pipe 52. In use, the user controls the fan 51 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the processing chamber 1 through the controller 44 to introduce gas into the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 52 and then discharge it from the several aeration pipes 53, thereby realizing the generation of bubbles inside the processing chamber 1. It should be noted that the fan 51 and the aeration pipes 53 are existing technologies, and this method of generating bubbles is also a common manufacturing method of existing bubble defrosting machines.

[0024] By rotating and installing a placement chamber 2 on the inner wall of the processing chamber 1, the user needs to introduce water into the processing chamber 1 and then add meat pieces. This will activate the bubble unit 5, generating bubbles inside the processing chamber 1, thereby quickly thawing the meat pieces. After thawing, the user needs to control the placement chamber 2 to rotate on the surface of the processing chamber 1 through the first drive unit 4, which will quickly pour out the meat pieces, effectively saving time and manpower.

[0025] By rotating and installing an installation ring 21 on the surface of the processing chamber 1, the user can slide the main chamber body 22 into the inner wall of the installation ring 21 during use, so that the limiting edge 231 slides into the inner wall of the limiting groove 232. Finally, several limiting bolts 233 are threaded into the inner wall of the limiting edge 231 and the limiting groove 232, thereby limiting the main chamber body 22 on the inner wall of the installation ring 21. The main chamber body 22 can also be replaced in this way.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a slot 6 is provided on the inner wall of the processing chamber 1, and a baffle 7 is slidably inserted into the inner wall of the slot 6. When it is necessary to drain the water inside the processing chamber 1, the user needs to drive the baffle 7 to rotate through the second drive unit 8, thereby opening the slot 6 so that the water inside the processing chamber 1 can be drained quickly. The main components of the second drive unit 8 are: a fixed frame 81 fixedly installed on the surface of the baffle 7. In use, the user controls the extension and retraction of the second hydraulic rod 82 rotatably installed on the surface of the fixed frame 81 through the controller 44, thereby driving the fixed frame 81 rotatably installed on the other end of the second hydraulic rod 82 to rotate (the other end of the fixed frame 81 is rotatably installed on the surface of the processing chamber 1), thereby opening the slot 6.

[0027] The working process of this utility model:

[0028] First, the user needs to place both water and meat pieces inside the processing chamber 1 (the water is introduced through a water injection pipe installed on the surface of the processing chamber 1, and a valve is installed on the surface of the water injection pipe). Then, the user starts the blower 51 through the controller 44, which sprays air bubbles into the processing chamber 1 through the aeration pipe 53. The air bubbles pass through several small holes 3 to quickly thaw the meat pieces.

[0029] Secondly, after thawing, the user needs to control the extension and retraction of the first hydraulic rod 41 through the controller 44, which further drives the insertion tube 43 to slide on the inner wall of the empty tube 42, thereby driving the installation ring 21, that is, adjusting the position of the main compartment.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
