Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beef preservation technology, specifically a frozen storage device for beef preservation. Background Technology
[0002] The common processing flow for meat products includes raw meat, thawing and cutting, marinating, filling, heat processing, heat dissipation packaging, sterilization and cooling, labeling, and warehousing. During meat product processing, raw materials, intermediate stages, and final products typically require storage for a certain period. During storage, meat products are highly susceptible to microbial growth and spoilage, leading to a loss of nutritional value and, in severe cases, even food poisoning. Therefore, it is essential to preserve meat products during storage to prevent microbial growth and spoilage.
[0003] According to a public notice (CN212813940U) of a storage device for beef processing, the above application includes a diversion plate with its lower surface tightly attached to the upper surface of the liner. Ice blocks are placed above the first partition, which is perforated. A small amount of ice blocks absorb heat and melt into water, which drips onto the diversion plate. The diversion plate is tilted towards the drain pipe, so the melted water flows to the drain pipe side under the influence of gravity, facilitating drainage of the device.
[0004] However, cold air, being denser, naturally sinks, while the beef is above the ice, resulting in a relatively higher temperature in the area where the beef is located, which affects the preservation effect. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a frozen storage device for preserving beef, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a frozen storage device for beef preservation, comprising an insulated box, an inlet provided on the top of the insulated box, a cap fitted onto the top of the inlet, an ice-carrying assembly provided inside the insulated box, the ice-carrying assembly comprising a partition, the partition being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insulated box, a dispersing plate being fixedly connected to the surface of the partition, both the dispersing plate and the partition having strip-shaped holes on their surfaces, the dispersing plate being wavy in shape with the peaks decreasing from the middle to both sides, a conical truncated platform being fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the partition, and a gap being left between the conical truncated platform and the inner wall of the insulated box.
[0007] Preferably, the interior of the insulated box is provided with a placement assembly, which includes four sets of support columns. The support columns are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insulated box, and a placement plate is fixedly connected to the top of the support columns. The size of the placement plate is smaller than the size of the bottom surface of the cone. A surrounding plate and multiple sets of arrayed partition plates are fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate.
[0008] Preferably, the surface of the placement plate has multiple sets of arrayed water-permeable holes.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom surface of the insulated box is inclined, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the side wall of the insulated box.
[0010] Preferably, the enclosure is C-shaped, and a sealing door is provided on the side wall of the insulated box, with the opening of the enclosure facing the sealing door.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom surface of the insulated box is fixedly connected with four sets of casters, and the side wall of the insulated box is fixedly connected with a handle.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a frozen storage device for preserving beef, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This frozen storage device for beef preservation uses a corrugated dispersion plate to evenly distribute ice blocks, avoiding local accumulation that affects the release of cold energy; the conical platform guides the melted ice water along the surface to the inclined bottom of the insulated box and drains it through the drain pipe, while not obstructing the sinking of cold air. Combined with the water-permeable holes in the placement plate, it ensures that the beef is in a low-temperature environment and prevents moisture from soaking and causing the meat to deteriorate, thus improving the stability of beef preservation.
[0014] 2. This frozen storage device for beef preservation divides the space into independent areas by partitions on the placement plate, allowing for the categorized storage of beef from different batches and cuts, thus avoiding cross-contamination; the C-shaped partitions, combined with the openings facing the sealed door, prevent beef from slipping off and facilitate quick retrieval.

[0019] like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a frozen storage device for preserving beef, including an insulated box 1. Four sets of casters 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the insulated box 1, and handles 12 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the insulated box 1. The four sets of casters 11, together with the handles 12 on the side walls, facilitate flexible movement of the device, adapting to the needs of processing workshops, transportation, and other scenarios. The bottom of the insulated box 1 is inclined, and a drain pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the side walls of the insulated box 1. The inclined inner wall, combined with the drain pipe 13, facilitates the collection and drainage of melted ice water from the device. An inlet 2 is provided on the top of the insulated box 1, and a cap 21 is fitted onto the top of the inlet 2. The inlet 2 is used to replenish ice, and the cap 21 ensures insulation and reduces heat exchange.
[0020] The interior of the insulated box 1 is equipped with an ice-carrying assembly, which includes a partition 3. The partition 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insulated box 1. A dispersing plate 31 is fixedly connected to the surface of the partition 3. Both the dispersing plate 31 and the partition 3 have strip-shaped holes 32. The shape of the dispersing plate 31 is wavy, and the peaks decrease from the middle to both sides. The partition 3 is used to support the upper dispersing plate 31 and the lower conical platform 4. The peaks of the dispersing plate 31 disperse the ice blocks falling from the inlet 2 and prevent them from piling up. The strip-shaped holes 32 allow cold air to sink and the melted water from the ice blocks to fall, ensuring that the cold energy is effectively transferred to the beef storage area below, while preventing the ice blocks from directly contacting the beef.
[0021] A conical platform 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the partition 3, and a gap is left between the conical platform 4 and the inner wall of the heat preservation box 1. The conical structure of the conical platform 4 can guide the melt water from the partition 3 to flow along the surface of the conical platform 4 to the inclined bottom surface of the heat preservation box 1, and finally discharge it through the drain pipe 13, so as to prevent the melt water from dripping directly onto the beef.
[0022] The interior of the insulated box 1 is equipped with a placement component, which includes four sets of support columns 5. The support columns 5 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insulated box 1. The top of the support columns 5 is fixedly connected to a placement plate 6. The size of the placement plate 6 is smaller than the size of the bottom surface of the cone 4. Multiple sets of arrayed water permeable holes 61 are opened on the surface of the placement plate 6. The support columns 5 and the placement plate 6 lift the beef away from the bottom surface of the insulated box 1 to avoid contact with water accumulation. The water permeable holes 61 can drain the blood water or condensed water vapor that seeps out of the beef itself, keeping the meat dry.
[0023] A surrounding plate 62 and multiple arrays of partition plates 63 are fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate 6. The surrounding plate 62 is C-shaped, and a sealing door 7 is provided on the side wall of the insulated box 1. The opening of the surrounding plate 62 faces the sealing door 7. The opening of the C-shaped surrounding plate 62 facing the sealing door 7 not only prevents the beef from slipping off the edge of the placement plate 6, but also facilitates the opening of the sealing door 7 for loading and unloading. The multiple arrays of partition plates 63 divide the placement plate 6 into multiple independent areas, which can classify and store beef from different batches and different parts, avoid cross-contamination, and improve retrieval efficiency.
[0024] In this invention, during use, the device is first moved to a suitable position using the handle 12 and the casters 11 to ensure the insulation box 1 is placed stably. Next, the cover 21 of the top inlet 2 is opened, and an appropriate amount of ice is added through the inlet 2. The ice falls onto the dispersing plate 31. Because the dispersing plate 31 is wavy with the peaks decreasing from the middle to the sides, the ice will be dispersed along the wavy surface, avoiding local accumulation and ensuring a uniform contact area between the ice and the air, which is conducive to the continuous release of cold energy.
[0025] Next, open the sealed door 7 on the side wall of the insulated box 1, and place the beef to be preserved into the independent areas divided by the partition plate 63 on the placement plate 6. The C-shaped partition plate 62 prevents the beef from slipping off the edge of the placement plate 6, and its opening faces the sealed door 7 for easy and quick loading and unloading. After placement, close the sealed door 7, ensuring it fits tightly against the insulated box 1 to reduce cold loss.
[0026] As the ice absorbs heat, it gradually melts. The water produced by the melting falls through the strip holes 32 on the dispersion plate 31 and the partition plate 3, landing on the surface of the conical platform 4. Due to the inclined structure of the conical platform 4, the water flows along its surface to the inclined bottom surface inside the heat preservation box 1, eventually collecting at the drain pipe 13. Opening the valve of the drain pipe 13 will drain the accumulated water, preventing the water from contacting the beef.
[0027] Meanwhile, the cold air released from the ice blocks sinks through the strip-shaped holes 32 and diffuses into the placement plate 6 area through the gap between the conical platform 4 and the inner wall of the insulated box 1. Because the size of the placement plate 6 is smaller than the bottom size of the conical platform 4, the cold air can fully cover the beef, achieving uniform cooling. The blood or condensed moisture that seeps out of the beef falls through the water-permeable holes 61 on the placement plate 6, further ensuring that the beef is in a dry environment and improving the preservation effect.
[0028] When beef is needed, open the sealed door 7 and take out the beef from the corresponding section directly from the opening of the partition 62. After taking out or placing the beef, quickly close the sealed door 7. If there is not enough ice, you can open the lid 21 at any time to replenish it through the inlet 2. After replenishing, close the lid 21 tightly in time to reduce heat exchange between the inside and outside and extend the heat preservation time.
[0029] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
