Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to an automated cooling and dewatering device for a food sterilization room. Background Technology

[0002] A food sterilization room is a room or facility specifically used for sterilizing food. Its main function is to kill microorganisms in food through physical or chemical methods, ensuring the hygiene and safety of food during production and processing. During sterilization, food needs to be cooled and drained. By draining excess water from the surface of the food and cooling it down, the growth of bacteria can be greatly reduced, preparing it for subsequent sterilization.

[0003] Cooling and draining equipment typically cools and drains food by placing it on a screen. However, this method is passive, time-consuming, and inefficient. Furthermore, the water on the bottom of the food is difficult to drain completely, resulting in uneven drainage. Therefore, we propose an automated cooling and draining equipment for food sterilization rooms. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated cooling and dewatering device for food sterilization rooms to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated cooling and draining device for a food sterilization room, comprising a main body, a draining frame mounted inside the main body via a rotating shaft, and vibrating mesh plates mounted on the top and bottom of the draining frame via supporting springs, a draining mesh drawer disposed inside the draining frame between the vibrating mesh plates, a miniature vibration motor mounted on the outer wall of the vibrating mesh plate away from the draining mesh drawer, a drive cavity disposed on one side inside the main body, and a stepper motor disposed inside the drive cavity, with the output end of the stepper motor fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, a blower hood fixed to the top of the main body, and an opening slot disposed at the top of the main body below the blower hood, a movable plate disposed inside the blower hood, and a fan mounted at the bottom of the movable plate.

[0006] Preferably, a cylinder is installed on the top of the blower shroud, and the output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the movable plate.

[0007] Preferably, the drain mesh tray is tightly fitted to the vibrating mesh plate, and one side of the drain mesh tray extends to the outside of the drain frame and is equipped with a handle.

[0008] Preferably, guide grooves are provided on both sides of the top and bottom of the drain mesh drawer, and the guide grooves are long strip structures with rectangular cross-sections.

[0009] Preferably, the surface of the vibrating mesh plate at the location of the drain mesh drawer is provided with a groove, and the groove is equipped with equally spaced ball bearings. The ball bearings cooperate with the guide groove, and when the drain mesh drawer is pulled out, the ball bearings roll in the guide groove, making the pulling out smoother.

[0010] Preferably, there are two vibrating mesh plates located above and below the drain mesh drawer, and the interior of the vibrating mesh plate is a metal mesh structure, which facilitates clamping and fixing the drain mesh drawer.

[0011] Preferably, the drain mesh drawer has a drawer-like structure, and the bottom of the drain mesh drawer has a metal mesh structure to facilitate water drainage.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the device body below the drain frame is provided with a water receiving trough, and the water receiving trough is a rectangular open structure, which facilitates the collection and storage of water.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] The food is laid in the draining mesh tray, which is then pushed flat into the drain frame, sandwiched between the vibrating mesh plates. Because both the draining mesh tray and the vibrating mesh plates are metal mesh structures, and the drain frame is a perforated structure, water drains from the food inside the draining mesh tray, with droplets falling into the water collection tank. The micro-vibration motor starts, causing the vibrating mesh plates to vibrate under the elasticity of the support springs, transmitting the vibration to the draining mesh tray and shaking off the water from the surface of the food inside. Simultaneously, the cylinder drives the movable plate downwards, causing the fan to descend to the drain frame. On the surface, start the fan to run. The fan blows downwards, blowing away the moisture on the surface of the food inside the draining basket and cooling the food at the same time. This automatic active cooling and draining method has a good cooling and draining effect, can drain water quickly, has a short time, and is highly efficient. The cylinder drives the movable plate to move up, so that the fan is retracted into the blower hood. The stepper motor drives the draining frame to rotate through the rotating shaft, so that the draining basket flips over and turns the food over. Repeat the above steps to drain water from the bottom of the food, thereby improving the uniformity of water drainage. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model provides an automated cooling and draining device for a food sterilization room, comprising a main body 1, a draining frame 3 installed inside the main body 1 via a rotating shaft 11, and a vibrating mesh plate 12 installed at the top and bottom of the draining frame 3 via a supporting spring 13, a draining mesh tray 15 provided inside the draining frame 3 between the vibrating mesh plates 12, a micro vibration motor 14 installed on the outer wall of the vibrating mesh plate 12 away from the draining mesh tray 15, a drive cavity 9 provided on one side inside the main body 1, and a stepper motor 10 installed inside the drive cavity 9, and the output end of the stepper motor 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 11;

[0024] Specifically, the food is laid in the draining mesh tray 15, and the draining mesh tray 15 is pushed flat into the draining frame 3. The draining mesh tray 15 is sandwiched between the vibrating mesh plate 12. Since the draining mesh tray 15 and the vibrating mesh plate 12 are both metal mesh structures, and the draining frame 3 is a hollow structure, the food in the draining mesh tray 15 drains, and the water droplets fall into the water collection tank 2.

[0025] A blower hood 5 is fixed to the top of the main body 1 of the equipment, and an opening slot 4 is provided at the top of the main body 1 below the blower hood 5. A movable plate 7 is provided inside the blower hood 5, and a fan 8 is installed at the bottom of the movable plate 7.

[0026] A cylinder 6 is installed on the top of the blower cover 5, and the output end of the cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 7.

[0027] The drain mesh tray 15 is tightly fitted to the vibrating mesh plate 12, and one side of the drain mesh tray 15 extends to the outside of the drain frame 3 and is equipped with a handle 16.

[0028] Specifically, the micro vibration motor 14 is started, causing the vibrating mesh plate 12 to vibrate under the elastic action of the support spring 13 and transmit the vibration to the drain mesh tray 15, shaking off the water on the surface of the food inside the drain mesh tray 15. At the same time, the cylinder 6 drives the movable plate 7 to move down, causing the fan 8 to descend to the surface of the drain frame 3 and start the fan 8 to run. The fan 8 blows air downwards, blowing away the water on the surface of the food inside the drain mesh tray 15 and cooling the food at the same time. The automatic active cooling and draining method has a good cooling and draining effect, can drain water quickly, has a short time consumption, and high efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, the cylinder 6 drives the movable plate 7 to move upward, so that the fan 8 is retracted into the blower hood 5. The stepper motor 10 drives the drain frame 3 to rotate through the rotating shaft 11, so that the drain mesh tray 15 flips over and turns the food over. By repeating the above steps, the bottom surface of the food can be drained, thereby improving the uniformity of food drainage.

[0030] The top and bottom sides of the drain mesh tray 15 are provided with guide grooves 17, and the guide grooves 17 are long strip structures with rectangular cross-sections.

The balls 19 cooperate with the guide groove 17. When the drain mesh drawer 15 is pulled out, the balls 19 roll in the guide groove 17, making the pull out smoother.

[0032] There are two vibrating mesh plates 12, located above and below the drain mesh drawer 15, and the interior of the vibrating mesh plate 12 is a metal mesh structure.

[0033] The drain mesh drawer 15 has a drawer-like structure, and the bottom of the drain mesh drawer 15 has a metal mesh structure.

[0034] The bottom of the main body 1 below the drain frame 3 is provided with a water receiving trough 2, and the water receiving trough 2 is a rectangular open structure.

[0035] In this embodiment, the food is first placed in the draining mesh tray 15, and then pushed flat into the draining frame 3. The draining mesh tray 15 is sandwiched between the vibrating mesh plate 12. Since both the draining mesh tray 15 and the vibrating mesh plate 12 are metal mesh structures, and the draining frame 3 is a hollow structure, the food in the draining mesh tray 15 drains, and the water droplets fall into the water collection tank 2. Then, the micro vibration motor 14 is started, causing the vibrating mesh plate 12 to vibrate under the elastic action of the supporting spring 13 and transmit the vibration to the draining mesh tray 15, shaking off the water on the surface of the food inside the draining mesh tray 15. At the same time, the cylinder 6 drives the movable plate 7. The fan 8 is lowered to the surface of the drain frame 3, and then started to run. The fan 8 blows air downwards, blowing away the moisture on the surface of the food inside the drain basket 15 and cooling the food at the same time. The automatic active cooling and draining method has a good cooling and draining effect, can drain water quickly, has a short time, and is highly efficient. Next, the cylinder 6 drives the movable plate 7 to move upwards, so that the fan 8 is retracted into the blower hood 5.
