Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of colostrum thawing technology, specifically relating to a colostrum thawing heating device. Background Technology

[0002] Colostrum refers to the milk secreted by a female animal within 72 hours after giving birth. It is rich in nutrients such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and growth factors, and has high immune protection and nutritional value. It plays an important role in livestock and poultry breeding and early animal immunity enhancement. Because colostrum is produced in a concentrated period, is easily perishable, and requires strict storage, it is usually stored by freezing in practice, and then thawed and heated before use.

[0003] Current methods for thawing colostrum often involve directly immersing frozen colostrum bags in hot water or using a constant-temperature water bath. These methods have the following drawbacks: First, static immersion thawing is inefficient, especially when the colostrum bags are large or produced in large batches. The thawing time is long, and uneven heating in some areas can affect the quality of the colostrum. Second, there is a lack of effective anti-drop and temperature control mechanisms. If the colostrum bag accidentally slips during thawing, it may come into contact with the heating element, posing a safety hazard. In addition, traditional devices generally lack a bag swinging structure, making it difficult to control the uniformity of thawing and the flow of hot water circulation. Uneven water temperature distribution during thawing can easily lead to the phenomenon of the colostrum bag being hot on the outside and cold on the inside, affecting the thawing quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a colostrum thawing and heating device that is structurally sound, has good thawing effect, high safety, and is adjustable, thereby improving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a colostrum thawing and heating device, comprising a heating box, wherein linear cylinders are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer surface of the heating box, and cover plates are installed on the output ends of the plurality of linear cylinders, the cover plates sealing the top opening of the heating box;

[0006] A protective shell is provided on the upper surface of the cover plate, a sealing cap is installed on the top of the protective shell, and rotating shafts are evenly screwed onto the surface of the cover plate. Multiple rotating shafts are placed inside the protective shell and penetrate the cover plate.

[0007] A swing plate is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft, and a hook is provided at the lower end of the swing plate. The hook is used to suspend the colostrum bag. The rotation of the rotating shaft is controlled to make the colostrum bag swing inside the heating box.

[0008] Furthermore, an electrical control box is fixed to one side of the heating box, an electric heating rod is installed inside the lower part of the heating box, and a mesh plate is installed inside the heating box, with the mesh plate positioned above the electric heating rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting plate is provided at the top of the rotating shaft, and a control rod is fixed on the side of the limiting plate away from the swing plate. The end of the control rod is spherical. The rotating shafts are distributed in groups, and each group of rotating shafts is symmetrically arranged. The two control rods in the same group correspond to each other.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper surface of the cover plate is symmetrically provided with protrusions, and a slide rod is slidably installed between two of the protrusions, with the slide rod positioned between two limiting plates in the same group.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple sets of fixing plates are evenly arranged on both sides of the slide rod, with two fixing plates in each set, and the spherical end of the control rod is placed between the two fixing plates in the same set.

[0012] Furthermore, an extension platform is provided on one side of the cover plate, and a turntable is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the extension platform. The turntable is mounted on a motor, and a sliding groove is formed on the surface of the turntable. A screw is rotatably mounted inside the sliding groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a slider is slidably installed inside the groove, the slider is screwed onto the screw, and a connecting rod is hinged to the top of the slider, with the end of the connecting rod away from the slider hinged to the end of the slider rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention achieves rapid opening and closing control of the top opening of the heating box by symmetrically arranging multiple linear cylinders on the outside of the heating box and cooperating with the cover lifting structure at the cylinder output end. Before use, the cover can be raised to the highest position to facilitate the hanging of colostrum bags. During operation, a sealed heating environment can be formed, effectively reducing heat loss and improving heating efficiency. This solves the problems of serious heat loss and inconvenience in loading and unloading colostrum bags in the prior art.

[0016] This invention, by setting multiple rotating shafts and corresponding swing plates and hook structures, can suspend multiple colostrum bags separately and drive them to swing synchronously back and forth. The swinging motion can not only accelerate the heat conduction rate inside and outside the colostrum, but also drive the heated water to flow, breaking the static heating state and improving the thawing efficiency and uniformity. This solves the problems of long thawing time and uneven heat distribution in traditional thawing methods.

[0017] This invention features an electric heating rod inside the heating chamber and a mesh plate structure above it. The electric heating rod serves as a heat source to provide a constant temperature heating environment, while the mesh plate prevents the colostrum bag from accidentally slipping off and coming into direct contact with the electric heating rod, thus enhancing the safety of the device's operation and avoiding the risk of the colostrum bag falling and getting burned, which exists in existing devices.

[0018] This invention, by setting a limiting plate, control rod, slide rod, and fixing plate structure on the cover plate, and cooperating with the motor to drive the turntable, slider, and linkage mechanism to form a linkage transmission system, can convert rotational motion into reciprocating linear motion of the slide rod, which in turn drives the control rod to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, realizing the automatic swing function of the colostrum bag; at the same time, the eccentric distance of the slider in the slide groove can be adjusted by rotating the screw, thereby controlling the reciprocating amplitude of the slide rod and achieving the purpose of adjusting the swing angle of the colostrum bag, effectively solving the problems of the inability to dynamically control the heating uniformity and the lack of bag movement adjustment function in the prior art.

[0026] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0027] refer to Figures 1-6 As shown, a colostrum thawing and heating device includes a heating chamber 1. Linear cylinders 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer surface of the heating chamber 1. Cover plates 2 are installed at the output ends of multiple linear cylinders 12, and the cover plates 2 seal the top of the heating chamber 1. When the device is in the state of installing colostrum bags, the multiple linear cylinders 12 lift the cover plates 2 to a preset height through stroke control, so as to facilitate the operator to open the heating chamber 1 for internal operation. After installation, the linear cylinders 12 drive the cover plates 2 to move down and form a closed space with the upper end of the heating chamber 1 to prevent heat loss and improve heating efficiency.

[0028] A protective housing 21 is provided on the upper surface of the cover plate 2. A sealing cover 3 is installed on the top of the protective housing 21. The sealing cover 3 is used to seal and protect the protective housing 21 when the equipment is not running, preventing dust and foreign objects from entering the device. Rotary shafts 4 are evenly screwed onto the surface of the cover plate 2. Multiple rotating shafts 4 are placed inside the protective housing 21. The rotating shafts 4 pass through the cover plate 2 and extend to the space below it to connect to the lower swing structure. The rotation of the rotating shafts 4 is transmitted through the upper structure to control the lower suspended colostrum bags. The protective housing 21 provides safety protection to prevent personnel from accidentally touching the rotating parts during operation.

[0029] A swing plate 42 is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft 4, and a hook 43 is provided at the lower end of the swing plate 42. The hook 43 is used to suspend the colostrum bag 5. By controlling the rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the colostrum bag 5 is driven to swing inside the heating box 1. The swing plate 42 swings back and forth within a certain angle range under the drive of the rotating shaft 4, causing the colostrum bag 5 suspended by the hook 43 to sway accordingly. This breaks the static environment of the warm water inside the heating box 1, makes the water flow, enhances heat transfer, promotes uniform heating inside the colostrum, and improves the thawing efficiency.

[0030] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an electrical control box 11 is fixed on one side of the heating box 1. The electrical control box 11 controls the heating on / off and temperature adjustment of the electric heating rod 14 through a built-in circuit system, and simultaneously controls the start / stop and speed of the motor, thereby achieving synchronous control of colostrum heating and oscillation. The electric heating rod 14 is installed at the bottom inside the heating box 1. After the electric heating rod 14 is powered on, it heats the water inside the heating box 1, providing a constant heat source for colostrum thawing. A mesh plate 13 is installed inside the heating box 1. The mesh plate 13 is placed above the electric heating rod 14 and can provide effective isolation in the event that the colostrum bag 5 accidentally slips off, preventing it from directly contacting the electric heating rod 14 and ensuring safe use.

[0031] refer to Figures 4-6 As shown, a limiting plate 41 is provided on the top of the rotating shaft 4. A control rod 411 is fixed on the side of the limiting plate 41 away from the swing plate 42. The end of the control rod 411 is spherical. The spherical structure is used to improve the flexibility of the rotational connection and reduce frictional resistance, so as to ensure transmission stability. The rotating shafts 4 are distributed in groups, and each group of rotating shafts 4 is symmetrically arranged. The two control rods 411 in the same group correspond to each other. The symmetrically arranged control rods 411 work together on the sliding mechanism to achieve coordinated transmission and effectively improve the consistency and synchronicity of the colostrum bag swing.

[0032] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, protrusions 23 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the cover plate 2. A slide rod 6 is slidably installed between two protrusions 23. The slide rod 6 is placed between two limiting plates 41 in the same group. The slide rod 6 slides linearly within the guide rail structure formed by the protrusions 23. Its movement is restricted by the limiting plate 41 to maintain the stability of the sliding trajectory, thereby improving the reliability of the overall mechanism operation.

[0033] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, multiple sets of fixing plates 61 are evenly arranged on both sides of the slide bar 6, with two fixing plates 61 in each set. The spherical end of the control rod 411 is placed between the two fixing plates 61 in the same set. Through the cooperation and connection between the multiple sets of fixing plates 61 and the spherical end control rod 411, multiple rotating shafts 4 can be driven to rotate synchronously during the reciprocating sliding of the slide bar 6, so that multiple swing plates 42 can swing in a unified rhythm, thereby ensuring that the heating state of all colostrum bags 5 in the heating box 1 remains consistent.

[0034] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, an extension platform 22 is provided on one side of the cover plate 2. A turntable 7 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the extension platform 22. The turntable 7 is mounted on a motor, and the motor controls the rotation direction and speed of the turntable 7 to form a drive source. A groove 71 is opened on the surface of the turntable 7. A screw 72 is rotatably mounted inside the groove 71. The screw 72 is used to adjust the relative distance between the slider 8 and the center of the turntable 7. By changing the rotation angle of the screw 72 to adjust the position of the slider 8, the sliding range of the slider 6 can be precisely controlled.

[0035] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a slider 8 is slidably installed inside the slide groove 71. The slider 8 is screwed onto the screw 72, and the threaded engagement enables its position adjustment function. A connecting rod 9 is hinged to the top of the slider 8, and the end of the connecting rod 9 away from the slider 8 is hinged to the end of the slide rod 6. The connecting rod 9 converts the eccentric motion generated by the rotation of the turntable 7 into the reciprocating linear motion of the slide rod 6, realizing the power output of the entire swing structure. The connection relationship between the slider 8 and the connecting rod 9 ensures that efficient and stable power transmission can be achieved in different adjustment states, assisting in completing the continuous swinging action of the colostrum bag during the thawing process.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The lifting and lowering of the cover plate 2 is controlled by linear cylinders 12 on both sides, thereby controlling whether it seals the top of the heating box 1. During use, the cover plate 2 is raised to its highest position to facilitate the installation of the colostrum bags 5. The colostrum bags 5 to be thawed are hung on hooks 43. Initially, the two swing plates 42 in the same group are opposite to each other to increase the distance between the hooks 43 for easier installation. After the colostrum bags 5 are installed, the cover plate 2 is lowered to seal the heating box 1. Power is supplied to the electric heating rod 14 through the electrical control box 11 to improve heating efficiency. The water temperature inside the heating box 1 is used to thaw and heat the colostrum bag 5. At the same time, the motor is started to control the rotation of the turntable 7. Since the axis of the slider 8 is eccentric with that of the slide groove 71, the slider 6 can be driven to slide back and forth through the connecting rod 9 when the turntable 7 rotates. The slider 6 is limited by the protrusion 23 to ensure its sliding stability. When the slider 6 slides back and forth, the control rod 411 can be driven to swing through the multiple sets of fixing plates 61 on its surface, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 4 to swing back and forth within a certain angle. At this time, the swing plate 42 also swings to control the colostrum bag 5 to shake, thereby accelerating the thawing.

[0037] The mesh plate 13 can prevent the colostrum bag 5 from accidentally falling and coming into contact with the electric heating rod 14. At the same time, the swing amplitude of the colostrum bag 5 can be freely adjusted according to the usage. When adjusting, rotate the screw 72 to control the distance between the slider 8 and the center of the turntable 7, thereby controlling the amplitude of the reciprocating sliding of the slide rod 6 to adjust the swing amplitude of the colostrum bag 5. The swing of the colostrum bag 5 can not only accelerate the thawing but also stir the warm water inside the heating box 1 to make the internal water temperature uniform, ensuring that the colostrum bag 5 is heated evenly during the thawing process.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
