[0030] Example:
[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment proposes an integrated device for testing, thawing, and sampling frozen food, including a housing 1. A partition plate 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner surface of the housing 1. Two sets of heating lamps 101 are symmetrically distributed about the partition plate 2 on the inner top wall of the housing 1. The number of heating lamps 101 in each set is several. Fixing plates 3 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the partition plate 2 and the opposite sides of the inner surface of the housing 1. Guide grooves 4 are provided on the fixing plates 3. Two drawers 5 are symmetrically distributed inside the housing 1. Horizontal plates 6 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the drawers 5. The four horizontal plates 6 are slidably located in the four guide grooves 4. Mounting plates 7 are fixedly installed on the front of the drawers 5. Handles 8 are installed on the front of the mounting plates 7. Two different frozen foods to be thawed are placed in the two drawers 5 respectively. The two mounting plates 7 are pushed by the two handles 8 to make them fit against the housing 1. Several drain holes 9 are arranged linearly and equidistantly in the middle of the lower surface of drawer 5. Multiple heating lamps 101 are used to thaw frozen food in the two drawers 5. Two symmetrically distributed liquid guide frames 10 are set inside the cabinet 1. During the thawing process, the water formed by the melting of the outer frozen layer on the frozen food will be drained into the liquid guide frame 10 through multiple drain holes 9. A liquid guide port 11 is opened at the center of the inner surface of the liquid guide frame 10. The liquid in the liquid guide frame 10 is discharged through the liquid guide port 11. An external threaded connector 12 located outside the liquid guide port 11 is fixedly connected to the center of the lower surface of the liquid guide frame 10. A drain pipe 13 is threadedly connected to the external threaded connector 12. A collection frame 14 is set below the two drain pipes 13. The liquid is drained into the collection frame 14 below through the drain pipes 13, so that the thawed water is collected separately to prevent contamination of the food inside the drawer 5.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the front of the housing 1 has two symmetrically arranged U-shaped grooves 15, and the back of the two mounting plates 7 are each equipped with a U-shaped sealing strip 16. The two U-shaped sealing strips 16 are located inside the two U-shaped grooves 15 respectively. The mounting plates 7 are in close contact with the housing 1. Through the cooperation of the mounting plates 7, the U-shaped grooves 15 and the U-shaped sealing strips 16, the sealing between the housing 1 and the mounting plates 7 can be guaranteed, preventing external dust and impurities from entering the housing 1.
[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, four positioning frames 17 are fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the inner box 1. Two symmetrically arranged insert plates 18 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of each of the two liquid guide frames 10. The four insert plates 18 are respectively inserted into the four positioning frames 17. The positioning frames 17 and the insert plates 18 cooperate to position the liquid guide frames 10. By rotating the two drain pipes 13, the two drain pipes 13 are removed from the two external threaded connectors 12. The two mounting plates 7 are pulled outward by the two handles 8 to remove the two drawers 5 from the box 1. Then, the two liquid guide frames 10 are pulled upward to disengage the insert plates 18 from the positioning frames 17 and remove the two liquid guide frames 10 from the box 1. This facilitates the subsequent cleaning of the drawers 5, liquid guide frames 10, external threaded connectors 12 and drain pipes 13.
[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lower surface of drawer 5 and the lower surface of liquid guide frame 10 are both convex arc surfaces. The design of the convex arc surfaces allows water in drawer 5 to be discharged through multiple drain holes 9, and allows liquid in liquid guide frame 10 to be discharged through liquid guide port 11.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two symmetrically arranged connecting rods 19 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of drawer 5. Rollers 20 are installed at the bottom of the connecting rods 19. The rollers 20 roll and fit against the inner bottom wall of the box body 1. With the help of the rollers 20, the drawer 5 can move more smoothly when the mounting plate 7 is pushed and pulled by the handle 8.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a bracket 21 is installed at the bottom of the box 1, and a food detector 22 located on one side of the box 1 is installed on the upper surface of the bracket 21. The food detector 22 is used to test the thawed food.
[0037] The food testing instrument 22 in this application is model YT-GA2. The working principle and usage of the food testing instrument 22 will not be described in detail here.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a rectangular groove 23 is provided on the upper surface of the bracket 21, and the collection frame 14 is located in the rectangular groove 23. The staff removes the collection frame 14 from the rectangular groove 23 to facilitate the subsequent pouring out of the liquid in the collection frame 14 and cleaning of the collection frame 14.
[0039] Specifically, when using this integrated frozen food inspection, thawing, and sampling device: connect the heating lamp 101 to an external control power supply, place the two different frozen foods to be thawed into the two drawers 5 respectively, push the two mounting plates 7 with the two handles 8 to make the two mounting plates 7 fit against the box body 1, turn on the multiple heating lamps 101 through the external control power supply, and thaw the frozen foods in the two drawers 5 through the multiple heating lamps 101. During the thawing process, the water formed by the melting of the outer frozen layer on the frozen food will be drained into the liquid guide frame 10 through multiple drain holes 9, and the liquid in the liquid guide frame 10 will be discharged through the opened liquid guide port 11, and the liquid will be drained into the collection frame 14 below through the drain pipe 13, so as to collect the thawed water separately and prevent contamination of the food inside the drawers 5. After thawing is completed, turn off the heating lamp 101, pull the mounting plate 7 outward with the handle 8, and then take out the food from the drawers 5. The thawed food is then tested by the food detector 22.
[0040] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
