Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a plate chain water receiving device for a food purification machine, specifically to a water receiving device for a plate chain conveyor in a purification tank of food purification equipment, belonging to the field of food purification technology. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, industrial food purification equipment is widely used in central kitchens, catering services, and food processing plants. Existing food purification equipment typically features a chain conveyor system within a purification tank to move food. This system has several drawbacks: firstly, since both the upper and lower chain conveyors are submerged, a high water level is required to clean the food above the chain; secondly, because the chain is submerged while the core purification components are located in enclosed compartments on the side of the chain, cleaning these components is difficult. Cleaning requires lifting the chain conveyor system out, causing significant inconvenience. Therefore, the applicant's patent application No. 2024209612577 discloses a modular industrial food purification device. This device places the upper chain conveyor system within the purification tank and the lower chain conveyor system below and outside the tank, incorporating a chain lifting device. This design lowers the water level in the purification tank and facilitates cleaning of both the tank and the core components. However, since the lower chain plate is located at the bottom outside the sink, water and debris and small food pieces from the washing process will be carried out, thus affecting the environment.
[0003] Based on the above-mentioned shortcomings, a water connection device for food purification machine plates that can collect water and debris carried out by the plate chain and prevent environmental pollution has become a goal pursued by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of water and debris being carried out by the plate chain of existing food purification machines, which in turn pollutes the environment.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a plate-connected water device for a food purifier, characterized in that it includes: a water receiving tray base installed below the purification water tank and the external circulating plate chain; the water receiving tray base is set on the main frame of the purifier for installing the purification water tank; the water receiving tray base is inclined along the longitudinal direction of the purification water tank; a water receiving tray assembly is provided on the water receiving tray base; a collection and drainage trough is provided at the lower part of the water receiving tray base; the side of the water receiving tray assembly adjacent to the collection and drainage trough is open; the bottom plate of the collection and drainage trough is inclined; and a drain outlet is provided at the lower part of the collection and drainage trough.
[0006] To improve the efficiency of splash water collection, there are two water receiving tray bases, and the collection drainage trough is located in the middle of the two water receiving tray bases. The two water receiving tray bases are inclined at the front and rear ends of the purification water tank, and at the lower position near the collection drainage trough. There are two water receiving tray assemblies, which are respectively located on the two water receiving tray bases.
[0007] To prevent water from being thrown out and polluting the environment when the plate chain runs to the front and rear ends of the purification tank, two brackets are symmetrically set at the front and rear ends of the main frame of the purifier, located on the outer side of the plate chain end at the front and rear ends of the purification tank. A front water receiving tray and a rear water receiving tray are respectively hung on the two brackets. The front water receiving tray and the rear water receiving tray are set with the upper end inclined outward and the lower end inclined inward, and the lower end of the front water receiving tray and the rear water receiving tray extend above the two water receiving tray assemblies.
[0008] To facilitate the installation and disassembly of the water tray assembly, it is preferable that the water tray assembly includes an end water tray and several water tray units. The end water tray has baffles on both sides and on one side near the front and rear ends of the water tank. The water tray units have baffles on both sides. The open end of the end water tray and the end of the water tray unit near the collection and drainage tank both have a contraction section. The contraction section can be inserted into the other end of another water tray unit.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the angle of inclination of the water receiving tray base is 11° to 15°.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the angle of inclination of the front water tray and the rear water tray is 55°±5°.
[0011] To clean up debris carried by splashing water, as a preferred solution, a debris collection basket is further provided inside the collection drain, and the debris collection basket is provided with two handles.
[0012] This invention, by adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, uses a water receiving tray base located below the purification tank. A water receiving tray assembly is mounted on this base, and the base is inclined longitudinally. A collection drain trough is located at the lower position. This allows water carried by the chain to drip onto the water receiving tray assembly. Because of the inclined arrangement of the base, the wastewater automatically flows into the collection drain trough and is collected into the sewer system through the drain hole. This prevents water splashed from the chain from dripping onto the ground and polluting the environment. In particular, this invention designs two water receiving tray bases, with a collection drain trough located between them. Furthermore, the bases are inclined towards the collection drain trough, meaning the front and rear ends are higher than the adjacent area. This allows water splashed from the chain to quickly flow into the collection drain trough, improving collection efficiency.
[0013] Furthermore, this utility model provides a front water receiving tray and a rear water receiving tray arranged at an incline on the outer sides of the front and rear ends of the purification water tank, so that the water carried out by the plate chain when it moves to the front and rear ends of the purification water tank can be collected on the water receiving tray assembly through the front water receiving tray and the rear water receiving tray.
[0014] Furthermore, this utility model designs the water receiving tray assembly as consisting of an end water receiving tray and several water receiving tray units that are plugged together. It can be quickly disassembled from the water receiving tray base, allowing operators to easily and quickly disassemble the water receiving tray for cleaning. This greatly facilitates the daily cleaning and maintenance of the equipment and significantly improves the maintainability and cleaning efficiency of the equipment.
[0015] Furthermore, by installing a debris collection basket inside the collection drain, it is possible to easily clean debris and food scraps carried out by the chain conveyor, and also prevent debris from clogging the drain hole of the collection drain.
[0016] In summary, this utility model has a novel structure and ingenious design, ensuring the orderly discharge of wastewater and avoiding pollution problems that may be caused by wastewater retention. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but these preferred embodiments should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] See Figure 1-10The figure shows a plate-connected water device for a food purifier according to the present invention. As a preferred embodiment, it includes two water receiving tray bases 1, symmetrically arranged below the purification water tank 100 and the external circulation plate chain. The water receiving tray bases 1 are arranged with a lower middle and higher ends along the longitudinal direction of the purification water tank (wherein, "front and rear" refers to the side and the opposite side of the plate chain moving in the longitudinal direction of the water tank). That is, the two water receiving tray bases 1 are higher at the front and rear ends of the longitudinal direction of the water tank and lower at the middle position. The inclination angle α is preferably 11°. Of course, it can be increased or decreased, but 11° can ensure the purpose of water flow and save the most space. The water tray base 1 is set on the main frame 200 of the purifier for installing the purified water tank. It is composed of longitudinal beams on both sides and several cross beams between the two longitudinal beams. A collection drain trough 3 is set between the two water tray bases 1. A water tray assembly 2 is set on the water tray base 1, that is, there are two water tray assemblies 2. Moreover, the side of the water tray assembly 2 adjacent to the collection drain trough 3 is open, that is, the outer periphery of the water tray assembly 2 has a baffle 21 for blocking water. Only the side facing the collection drain trough 3 is open without a baffle, so that the water dripping from the plate chain can flow into the collection drain trough 3 through the open side of the inclined water tray assembly 2. The bottom plate of the collection drain trough 3 is inclined to the left and right (left and right refer to the two sides of the purified water tank), and a drain outlet 31 is provided at the low position of the collection drain trough 3 for collecting water. In use, the upper plate chain conveys the food in the water tank and moves forward along the longitudinal direction of the water tank. The lower plate chain returns to the rear of the water tank around the bottom of the water tank. The water droplets carried by the plate chain fall onto the water receiving tray assembly 2. Since the two water receiving tray bases 1 are located at the front and rear ends of the water tank in a higher position and at the middle position in a lower position, the water received by the water receiving tray assembly 2 will automatically flow to the middle position to collect in the drainage trough 3 and be discharged through the drain outlet 31 of the collection drainage trough 3.
[0030] In this embodiment, there are two water receiving tray bases 1, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the collection and drainage trough 3 located in the center. This maximizes the water collection rate. If a single water receiving tray base 1 is used, running through the entire purification tank and inclined, the collection and drainage trough 3 needs to be placed at the lower end of the water receiving tray base 1. The purpose of collecting water can still be achieved, but the water dripping from the chain at a higher position needs to flow over the entire length of the tank, thus reducing the collection rate.
[0031] To prevent water from splashing out from the front and rear ends of the plate chain purification tank, a front water receiving tray 4 and a rear water receiving tray 5 are further provided at the front and rear ends of the purification tank 100, on the outer side of the plate chain ends. The front water receiving tray 4 and the rear water receiving tray 5 are inclined outward at the top and inward at the bottom. The front water receiving tray 4 and the rear water receiving tray 5 are installed by two brackets 7 symmetrically arranged at the front and rear ends of the main frame 200 of the purification machine. Figure 9 , 10As shown, the bracket 7 is equipped with hooks 71, and the front water tray 4 and the rear water tray 5 are equipped with pins 8 on both sides. The pins 8 can be inserted into the hooks 71. This hooking method facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the front water tray 4 and the rear water tray 5, making cleaning and maintenance convenient. The tilt angle β of the front water tray 4 and the rear water tray 5 is preferably 55°±5°. Furthermore, the lower ends of the front water tray 4 and the rear water tray 5 extend above the water tray assembly 2. This prevents water thrown out when the plate chain reaches the front and rear ends of the water tank, allowing it to flow into the water tray assembly 2 below.
[0032] Furthermore, the water receiving tray assembly 2 includes an end water receiving tray 23 and several water receiving tray units 20. In this embodiment, there are five water receiving tray units 20. The end water receiving tray 23 has baffles 21 on both its left and right sides and on one side near the front and rear ends of the water tank. The water receiving tray units 20 only have baffles 21 on their left and right sides. The open end of the end water receiving tray 23 and the end of the water receiving tray unit 20 near the collection and drainage tank 3 both have a contraction section 22. The contraction section 22 can be inserted into the other end of another water receiving tray unit 20. This arrangement prevents water flowing from a height from flowing out through two adjacent insertion gaps.
[0033] Furthermore, in order to prevent debris carried out by the chain from clogging the drain outlet 31 of the collection and drainage trough 3, a debris collection basket 6 is provided inside the collection and drainage trough 3. The bottom plate of the debris collection basket 6 is a mesh plate, and two handles 61 are provided on the debris collection basket 6 to facilitate the operator to take it out for cleaning.
[0034] The above description is illustrative only and not restrictive. The present invention aims to provide a plate-connected water device for a food purifier. Those skilled in the art will understand that many modifications, variations or equivalents can be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the claims, such as the tilt angle of the water tray base, increasing or decreasing the number of water tray units, etc., but all of these will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
