Description

A quick-frozen prepared food cooking system Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a quick-frozen prepared food cooking system. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of frozen meatballs involves multiple steps, including thawing, mixing, extrusion, cooking, cooling, and quick-freezing. Traditional equipment operates on a relatively independent basis, resulting in low energy efficiency. For example, the water discharged from the cooler is directly discarded, causing a significant waste of heat energy. Furthermore, if only static thawing is used during the thawing process of frozen meat, the thawing time is long and the thawing is uneven, affecting the quality of subsequent processing. Summary of the Invention

The low-temperature water discharged from the cooler and the high-temperature water discharged from the blanching and cooking machine are mixed by the thermostat and then enter the thawing tank to thaw the materials.

[0006] Preferably, the thermostat also includes a regulating valve, a temperature sensor, a controller, and a water supply pipe connected to an external water supply device. The temperature sensor is installed in the main line of the Y-shaped tee pipe, the water supply pipe is connected to the main line of the Y-shaped tee pipe, and a regulating valve for adjusting its flow rate is installed on the water supply pipe.

[0014] To make the technical objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] This utility model provides a quick-frozen prepared food cooking system, which includes a thawing tank 1, a mixing machine 2, an extruder 3, a blanching and cooking machine 4, a cooler 5, and a quick-freezing machine 6 connected in sequence. It also includes a heater 7 for heating the liquid and a cooler 8 for cooling the liquid. The inlet and outlet of the heater 7 are respectively connected to an external water supply device 9 and the inlet of the blanching and cooking machine 4. The inlet and outlet of the cooler 8 are respectively connected to the external water supply device 9 and the inlet of the cooler 5.

[0016] For ease of understanding, the functions of each device are described below: The thawing tank 1 is used to thaw materials for subsequent processing steps such as mixing and extrusion. It includes a tank body and a conveyor installed inside the tank to transport materials from the feed end to the mixer 2. The tank body has an inlet for introducing temperature-regulated water and an outlet for discharging water during the thawing process to maintain a stable water level. To achieve uniform thawing, the thawing tank 1 can be equipped with a stirring device to create water flow within the tank and prevent uneven water temperature. The blanching and cooking machine 4 is used to blanch and cook pre-treated products to achieve sterilization, ripening, and improved taste and texture. It includes a shell and a mesh belt conveyor installed inside the shell to transport materials to the cooler 5 for cooling. The shell has an inlet for continuously supplying fresh water and an outlet for discharging water after blanching and cooking. The cooler 5 includes an inlet pipe connected to an external water supply device 9, a valve for controlling the water flow, and a spray pipe installed inside the cooling box. External cold water enters the cooler 5 through the inlet pipe. The valve can adjust the flow rate and pressure of the cold water. Spray nozzles are evenly distributed on the spray pipe to spray the cold water evenly onto the material to achieve rapid cooling. The wastewater after heat exchange is discharged through the outlet on the cooler 5.

[0017] The aforementioned devices are all existing equipment. This application only adds a thermostat 10 and specifically optimizes and coordinates the inlet and outlet water flow directions of the cooler 5 and the thawing tank 1. Specifically, the thermostat 10 includes a Y-shaped tee pipe 101, a regulating valve 102, a temperature sensor 103, a controller, and a water supply pipe 104 connected to the external water supply device 9. The outlet of the cooler 5 is connected to one branch of the Y-shaped tee pipe 101 via a first pipe 105. The outlet of the blanching and steaming machine 4 is connected to another branch of the Y-shaped tee pipe 101 via a second pipe 106. The inlet of the thawing tank 1 is connected to the main branch of the Y-shaped tee pipe 101 via a third pipe 107. A temperature sensor 103 for monitoring the internal temperature is installed in the main branch of the Y-shaped tee pipe 101. The water supply pipe 104 is connected to the Y-shaped tee pipe 101. On the main road of 01, a regulating valve 102 for adjusting its flow rate is installed on the water supply pipe 104. The regulating valve 102 and the temperature sensor 103 are both connected to the controller. The controller is set as an STM32 microcontroller. By pre-programming the control algorithm, the controller can collect sensor data (water temperature in the main road of the Y-type three-way pipe 101) in real time. Based on the initial water temperature of the thawing tank 1 and the characteristics of the frozen products, the controller calculates and sends control commands to the regulating valve 102. The controller accurately regulates the amount of hot water supplied through the water supply operation, so that the water temperature of the thawing tank 1 is kept in a dynamic balance state, ensuring that the frozen products are thawed efficiently and evenly, and avoiding the decline in food quality due to temperature runaway.

[0018] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustration and not for limiting the technical solutions of this utility model. Any equivalent substitutions and modifications or partial substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
