Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of baking food cooling equipment, and in particular to a baking food cooling component. This utility model also relates to a baking food cooling system. Background Technology

[0002] Cooling is a crucial step in the baking process. It not only affects the taste and quality of the food but also directly impacts its shelf life and safety. Traditional baking cooling systems typically use a single cooling space. When different types or batches of baked goods are cooled in the same space, cross-contamination of odors and flavors can easily occur. For example, if a strongly scented food (such as scallion bread) is cooled simultaneously with a mildly flavored food (such as a cream cake), the former's odor may permeate the latter, affecting its flavor.

[0003] Existing cooling devices use partitions to divide the cooling space into multiple zones to reduce cross-contamination of odors. However, the partition design of these cooling devices does not completely isolate the airflow between different zones, and the problem of cross-contamination of odors has not been completely solved. Furthermore, traditional cooling devices are usually unable to provide targeted cooling based on the characteristics of different foods (such as shape, size, and moisture content), which means they cannot meet different cooling needs and result in unsatisfactory cooling effects. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a baking food cooling component to solve the problems of cross-contamination of odors and poor cooling effect when different baked foods are cooled.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A baking food cooling assembly includes a box, ventilation ducts and air vents. The box has several compartments inside, each of which is used to hold the baking food to be cooled. The box also has several air inlets, which are arranged one-to-one with each of the compartments.

[0007] A door structure is provided on the box body. The door structure consists of several doors that correspond one-to-one with each of the boxes, and each door structure is openable and closable at the corresponding box body.

[0008] The ventilation ducts are a number of ones that correspond one-to-one with each of the air inlets, and each ventilation duct is used to introduce cooling gas into the corresponding chamber.

[0009] The air vent structure consists of several vents that correspond one-to-one with each of the air inlets; each air vent structure includes several baffles and a drive unit that is motive-connected to each baffle, the drive unit being used to drive each baffle to block and adjust the air intake of the air inlet.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the baffles in the air vent structure is rotatably mounted on the housing; the air vent structure also includes a transmission rod connected to the drive unit, the transmission rod being connected to each of the baffles, and the transmission rod being able to drive each of the baffles to rotate under the drive unit, so as to adjust the shading area of ​​each of the baffles on the air inlet.

[0011] Furthermore, the door structure includes a door body disposed on the container body and a protrusion disposed on the door body, the protrusion being disposed on the side of the door body facing the container body; a groove is formed on the side of the container body facing the door body, and when the door structure is closed on the container body, the protrusion is embedded in the groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the storage compartment is equipped with several food racks, which are spaced apart along the height direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the food rack is provided with several ventilation holes.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a removable recycling tray located at the bottom of the container, below each of the food storage racks.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner wall of the chamber is covered with an insulation layer.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] (1) The baking food cooling component of this utility model divides the box into several independent compartments and equips each compartment with an independent ventilation duct and compartment door structure to achieve complete isolation and cooling of different foods, avoid cross-contamination of odors, and by setting an air vent structure, the ventilation volume in each compartment can be precisely controlled so that different baking foods can be cooled in a targeted manner, that is, it can meet different cooling needs, thereby improving the cooling effect of different baking foods and improving the applicability of the baking food cooling component.

[0018] (2) By setting the protrusion, the seal between the door body and the chamber body is more tight when the chamber is closed, which further improves the cooling effect and also prevents the odor of baked goods in the chamber from escaping and avoids cross-contamination of the odor of different baked goods.

[0020] (4) By opening ventilation holes on the food rack, the bottom of the baked food can also be fully ventilated, which helps to improve the cooling effect of the baked food.

[0021] (5) By setting a recycling tray at the bottom of the chamber, food crumbs that fall during the cooling process can be collected and recycled, preventing food crumbs from remaining in the chamber for a long time and contaminating the baked goods to be cooled next time. At the same time, it can also prevent food crumbs from entering the ventilation duct and affecting the cooling effect.

[0022] (6) By setting an insulation layer on the inner wall of the chamber, heat transfer between adjacent chambers is avoided, which helps to improve the cooling effect of baked goods in each chamber.

[0044] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] This embodiment relates to a cooling component for baked goods, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a box body 1, a door structure 2, a ventilation duct 3, and an air vent structure 4. The box body 1 has several compartments 101 inside, each of which is used to hold baked goods to be cooled, and the box body 1 also has several air inlets, which are arranged one-to-one with each compartment 101.

[0047] Furthermore, the door structure 2 is installed on the housing 1, and there are several door structures 2 corresponding one-to-one with each of the compartments 101, and each door structure 2 is closable and installed at its corresponding compartment 101. Several ventilation ducts 3 are installed one-to-one with each air inlet, and each ventilation duct 3 is used to introduce cooling gas into its corresponding compartment 101. Several air outlet structures 4 are installed one-to-one with each air inlet. Each air outlet structure 4 includes several baffles 401, and a drive unit 403 drivenly connected to each baffle 401. The drive unit 403 is used to drive each baffle 401 to block and adjust the air intake of the air inlet.

[0048] At this point, with the above configuration, the cabinet 1 can be divided into several independent compartments 101, and each compartment 101 can be equipped with an independent ventilation duct 3 and a compartment door structure 2. This allows for complete isolation and cooling of different foods, avoiding cross-contamination of odors. Furthermore, by setting up an air vent structure 4, the ventilation volume in each compartment 101 can be precisely controlled, enabling different baked goods to be cooled in a targeted manner. This meets different cooling needs, thereby improving the cooling effect of different baked goods and enhancing the applicability of the baking food cooling components.

[0049] Based on the above general introduction, in this embodiment, specifically, the number and size of the compartments 101 in the baking food cooling component can be adjusted according to actual needs, and are not limited here. For example, the box 1 includes a three-layer structure arranged along its own height direction, and each layer structure is provided with three compartments 101 arranged sequentially along the width direction of the box 1, etc.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, several ventilation ducts 3 are configured one-to-one with each air inlet, that is, each ventilation duct 3 is configured one-to-one with each compartment 101, and each ventilation duct 3 is connected to a common duct 6. The other end of the common duct 6 should be connected to an external cooling device. This cooling device can be, for example, a cooling fan well known to those skilled in the art.

[0051] Specifically, as a preferred embodiment, in this example, such as Figure 1 As shown, a regulating valve 7 is also installed on the main pipe 6. The regulating valve 7 can be an electric air valve or a manual air valve. The ventilation volume of each ventilation pipe 3 can be adjusted by controlling the opening of the regulating valve 7.

[0052] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each baffle 401 in the air vent structure 4 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1. The air vent structure 4 also includes a transmission rod 402 connected to the drive unit 403. The transmission rod 402 is connected to each baffle 401, and the transmission rod 402 can drive each baffle 401 to rotate under the drive unit 403, so as to adjust the blocking area of ​​each baffle 401 on the air inlet.

[0053] Thus, the drive unit 403 can drive the transmission rod 402 to move, thereby driving each baffle 401. The structure is simple and easy to implement. Specifically, the drive unit 403 can be a drive component capable of driving the transmission rod 402 to make linear motion, such as a motor or cylinder.

[0054] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the door structure 2 includes a door body 201 disposed on the container body 1, and a protrusion 202 disposed on the door body 201, the protrusion 202 being disposed on the side of the door body 201 facing the container body 101. A groove 1014 is formed on the side of the container body 101 facing the door body 201, and when the door structure 2 is closed on the container body 101, the protrusion 202 is embedded in the groove 1014.

[0055] By providing the protrusion 202, the seal between the door body 201 and the compartment body 101 is made more tight when the compartment is closed, which further improves the cooling effect. At the same time, it can prevent the odor of baked goods inside the compartment body 101 from escaping, thereby preventing cross-contamination of odors from different baked goods.

[0056] Specifically, the door body 201 is also provided with a handle 203, which facilitates the opening and closing of the door body 201 by the operator. Meanwhile, the protrusion 202 can preferably be an elastic element. When the door body 201 is closed, the protrusion 202 contacts the compartment body 101 and undergoes elastic deformation, allowing the door body 201 to move further into the compartment body 101 until the protrusion 202 is completely inserted into the groove 1014. The elastic deformation of the protrusion 202 then returns to its original state, tightly fitting against the inner wall of the groove 1014, thus completely closing the door body 201. When it is necessary to open the door body 201, only an outward pulling force needs to be applied to the door body 201. Driven by the elastic force, the protrusion 202 disengages from the groove 1014, opening the door body 201. This elastic element can be made of rubber, for example.

[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown above, the door structure 2 is specifically configured as a plurality of units, and the plurality of door structures 2 correspond to the plurality of compartments 101. By setting the plurality of door structures 2 corresponding to the plurality of compartments 101, each compartment 101 is made independently sealed, thereby further avoiding cross-contamination of odors from different baked goods.

[0058] In specific implementation, the door body 201 of this embodiment can be made of transparent material to facilitate observation of the cooling status of the baked goods inside the compartment 101. A sealing strip can also be provided at the edge of the door body 201, so that when the door body 201 is closed, the interior of the compartment 101 is completely sealed, preventing the leakage of odors from the baked goods and contamination of the other baked goods waiting to be cooled in the compartment 101.

[0059] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the storage compartment 101 is provided with a plurality of food racks 1011, which are spaced apart along the height direction. By providing a plurality of food racks 1011 along the height direction within the storage compartment 101, the space of the storage compartment 101 can be fully utilized, increasing the number of baked goods to be cooled that can be placed within one storage compartment 101, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the baked goods.

[0060] Specifically, the food rack 1011 can be made of food-grade stainless steel, with a smooth and easy-to-clean surface. Preferably, the food rack 1011 is detachably connected to the compartment 101 to facilitate cleaning and replacement of the food rack 1011.

[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the food rack 1011 has several ventilation holes 10111. By providing ventilation holes 10111 on the food rack 1011, the bottom of the baked goods can also be adequately ventilated, thereby improving the cooling effect on the baked goods.

[0062] See also Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the baking food cooling assembly of this example also includes a detachable recycling tray 1012 disposed at the bottom of the chamber 101, located below each food rack 1011. By providing the recycling tray 1012 at the bottom of the chamber 101, food crumbs that fall during the cooling process can be collected and recycled, preventing food crumbs from remaining in the chamber 101 for extended periods and contaminating the baking food to be cooled next time. Simultaneously, it also prevents food crumbs from entering the ventilation duct 3 and affecting the cooling effect.

[0063] Specifically, the recycling tray 1012 in this embodiment can also be made of the same food-grade stainless steel material as the food rack 1011.

[0064] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, the inner wall of the chamber 101 is covered with an insulation layer. Thus, by providing an insulation layer on the inner wall of the chamber 101, heat transfer between adjacent chambers 101 is avoided, which helps improve the cooling effect on the baked goods in each chamber 101.

[0065] Specifically, the insulation layer should be made of environmentally friendly materials that meet food contact standards, can come into direct or indirect contact with food, and will not cause harm to the environment or human health. The material itself should not have a pungent or other odor, so as not to affect the smell and quality of the food.

[0066] Example 2

[0067] This embodiment relates to a cooling system for baked goods, such as... Figure 5 As shown, it includes the baking food cooling assembly as in Embodiment 1. The baking food cooling system also includes an operation component 5 and a control component. The control component is connected to the operation component 5 and each drive unit 403. The operation component 5 sends operation signals to the control component, and the control component controls the operation of each drive unit 403.

[0068] By setting up the operation component 5 and the control component, the ease of control over each drive unit 403 can be improved, which also makes it easier to adjust the air intake of each air inlet, so as to adjust the cooling efficiency and ensure the cooling effect.

[0069] It is understandable that the drive unit 403 in the air vent structure 4 is electrically connected to the control component, thereby further precisely controlling the blocking area of ​​each baffle 401 on the air inlet, thereby precisely controlling the ventilation volume in the chamber 101, providing targeted cooling for different baked goods, and improving the applicability of the baking food cooling system.

[0070] It should be noted that when one or more of the chambers 101 do not require cooling, the operating component 5 can directly send a command to the control component, which will then control the drive unit 403 in the corresponding number of air outlet structures to adjust the rotation angle of the corresponding baffle 401, thereby completely sealing the corresponding air inlet and preventing the flow of cooling gas, thus saving energy and avoiding waste of resources.

[0071] In specific implementation, as described in Embodiment 1, the baking food cooling system of this embodiment also includes a main pipe 6 connected to each ventilation pipe 3, and a regulating valve 7 provided on the main pipe 6, which is connected to a control component. Thus, the opening degree of the regulating valve 7 can be adjusted by the control component to change the total ventilation volume to each ventilation pipe 3.

[0072] In specific implementation, the regulating valve 7 in this embodiment is preferably an electric air valve, which is electrically connected to the control component to regulate the opening and closing of the ventilation duct 3. The control component can preferably be a tablet computer, PLC, or other device well known to those skilled in the art, while the operation component 5 can be a touch panel or button panel integrated on the control component.

[0073] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the baking food cooling system of this embodiment also includes a sensing unit 1013 disposed in each compartment 101. Each sensing unit 1013 is connected to the control component and is used to sense the temperature and humidity inside the compartment 101. By setting the sensing unit 1013 in the compartment 101, the temperature, humidity, etc. inside the compartment 101 can be monitored in real time, which is conducive to the adjustment of the temperature inside each compartment 101, thereby ensuring that the cooling environment of the baking food is in a normal state.

[0074] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
