Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable draining technology, and in particular to a quick-frozen vegetable draining device. Background Technology

[0002] During the processing of quick-frozen vegetables, a large amount of water remains on the surface of the vegetables after washing. If the vegetables are quick-frozen directly, this water will form ice on the surface of the vegetables, which will not only affect the appearance of the vegetables, but may also cause frost damage during the quick-freezing process, affecting the quality. A draining device can effectively remove the water from the surface of the vegetables, allowing them to reach a low temperature more quickly during the quick-freezing process, improving quick-freezing efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0003] Patent CN220024835U discloses a vegetable draining device, including a water collection trough and a drain rack fixedly mounted on the trough. Multiple support brackets are fixedly mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the drain rack from bottom to top. A water control structure for draining vegetables is provided between two opposite support brackets. The water control structure includes a drain tray and T-shaped brackets fixedly mounted on both sides of the top of the drain tray. A drain basket is placed between two T-shaped brackets. A straight pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the drain tray. This vegetable draining device adopts a layered design, allowing washed vegetables to be stacked in layers for draining, effectively avoiding the problem of large accumulation of vegetables and thus improving draining efficiency. The device is lightweight, easily movable, occupies little space, and is more convenient to use. The drained vegetables are isolated by a mesh screen, effectively preventing flies and insects from crawling on them, making vegetable draining safer and more hygienic.

[0004] The aforementioned patent has limited drainage efficiency during use, mainly relying on natural drainage. The water drips onto the drain tray by the weight of the vegetables themselves. The water flows naturally at a limited speed under gravity, resulting in a long drainage time. Furthermore, under gravity, water may accumulate in the recesses or crevices of the item and cannot be smoothly drained through the holes of the drain basket, making it difficult to completely remove the water. Based on this, a quick-freezing vegetable draining device is proposed for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art mentioned above, the inventors conducted in-depth research and, after a great deal of creative work, completed this utility model.

[0006] Specifically, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a quick-frozen vegetable draining device to solve the current technical problem of limited draining efficiency and reliance on natural draining.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A quick-frozen vegetable draining device includes a draining box, a door movably connected to the upper part of one side of the draining box, a water collection cavity provided in the lower part of the inner wall of the draining box, and a drain outlet fixedly sleeved at the bottom of the side wall of the draining box. The draining box includes a draining mechanism for draining water, a drying mechanism for blowing away moisture, and a limiting mechanism for limiting movement.

[0009] The top of the drain box is symmetrically provided with air inlet heating pipes, and a fan is fixedly installed at the top of the air inlet heating pipes. An electric heating wire mesh is slidably connected to the upper inner wall of the air inlet heating pipes. Air outlet pipes are fixedly sleeved on both sides of the bottom end of the air inlet heating pipes. The bottom end of the air outlet pipes passes through the top of the drain box and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drain box. Several air outlets are opened on one side of the air outlet pipes.

[0010] As an improved technical solution, a drain rack is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the drain box, and several water collection funnels are fixedly installed inside the drain rack. A vegetable tray is slidably connected to the top of the water collection funnels, and several drain holes are opened on the bottom wall of the vegetable tray. A first water supply pipe is fixedly sleeved at the center of the bottom end of the water collection funnel, and a second water supply pipe is fixedly sleeved at one end of the first water supply pipe. The bottom end of the second water supply pipe extends into the water collection cavity.

[0011] As an improved technical solution, the air outlet pipe on one side of the inner wall of the drain box and the air outlet pipe on the other side of the inner wall of the drain box are arranged opposite each other, and the vegetable tray is arranged between the opposite air outlet pipes.

[0012] As an improved technical solution, a sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the air inlet heating pipe, and the electric heating wire mesh is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove.

[0013] As an improved technical solution, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the air inlet heating pipe, and a clamping plate is provided below the fixing plate. The fixing plate and the clamping plate are threadedly connected by the same bolt.

[0014] As an improved technical solution, an electrical connector is fixedly connected to one side of the electric heating wire mesh, and a handle is provided on one side of the electrical connector.

[0015] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. In use, this utility model, through its drainage mechanism, allows a large amount of water on the surface of vegetables to quickly flow through the drainage holes into components such as the water collection funnel, achieving initial water separation and reducing the water content on the vegetables. Then, the drying mechanism uses heated air to further dry the vegetables, removing any remaining moisture from their surface. This method of first draining and then drying significantly shortens processing time and improves overall work efficiency compared to simple natural drainage.

[0017] 2. In the use of this utility model, when the electric heating wire mesh is damaged and needs to be replaced, simply loosen the bolts to separate the clamping plate from the fixing plate, thereby releasing the clamp on the electric heating wire mesh. At this time, the damaged electric heating wire mesh can be easily taken out along the slide groove. Then, the new electric heating wire mesh is slid into the appropriate position along the slide groove, and then the bolts are tightened to fix it, completing the replacement operation. This greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of maintenance and reduces maintenance costs and difficulties. Attached Figure Description

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a quick-frozen vegetable draining device, including a draining box 1, a box door 11 movably connected to the upper part of one side of the draining box 1, a water collection cavity 12 provided in the lower part of the inner wall of the draining box 1, and a drain outlet 13 fixedly sleeved at the bottom of the side wall of the draining box 1. The draining box 1 includes a draining mechanism 2 for draining water, a drying mechanism 4 for blowing away water, and a limiting mechanism 5 for limiting movement.

[0030] The top of the drain box 1 is symmetrically provided with air inlet heating pipes 41. A fan 42 is fixedly installed at the top of the air inlet heating pipes 41. An electric heating wire mesh 43 is slidably connected to the upper inner wall of the air inlet heating pipes 41. Air outlet pipes 44 are fixedly sleeved on both sides of the bottom end of the air inlet heating pipes 41. The bottom end of the air outlet pipes 44 passes through the top of the drain box 1 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drain box 1. Several air outlets 45 are opened on one side of the air outlet pipes 44.

[0031] A drain rack 21 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the drain box 1. Several water collection funnels 22 are fixedly installed inside the drain rack 21. A vegetable tray 3 is slidably connected to the top of the water collection funnel 22. Several drain holes are opened on the bottom wall of the vegetable tray 3. A first water supply pipe 23 is fixedly sleeved at the center of the bottom end of the water collection funnel 22. A second water supply pipe 24 is fixedly sleeved at one end of the first water supply pipe 23. The bottom end of the second water supply pipe 24 extends into the water collection cavity 12.

[0032] The air outlet pipe 44 on one side of the inner wall of the drain box 1 and the air outlet pipe 44 on the other side of the inner wall of the drain box 1 are arranged opposite each other, and the vegetable tray 3 is arranged between the two opposite air outlet pipes 44.

[0033] Specifically, first, the vegetables to be drained are placed on the vegetable tray 3, then the vegetable tray 3 is placed on the drain rack 21, and then the door 11 is closed. Under the action of gravity, the water on the surface of the vegetables will naturally drip down through these drain holes. The water collection funnel 22 can accurately catch the water drained from the vegetable tray 3. After the water flows into the water collection funnel 22 under the action of gravity, it will flow down along the first water supply pipe 23 and finally be transported to the water collection chamber 12 through the second water supply pipe 24 for temporary storage, thus achieving the initial draining of the vegetables and removing most of the surface water.

[0034] During the initial draining process of the vegetables, the fan 42 and the electric heating wire mesh 43 are activated. The fan 42 continuously draws air from the external environment into the air intake heating pipe 41, and the electric heating wire mesh 43 heats the air drawn into the air intake heating pipe 41. The heated air, driven by the fan 42, flows downward along the air intake heating pipe 41 and is blown out from the air outlet 45 through the air outlet pipes 44 on both sides of the bottom. The hot air can blow onto the surface of the vegetables on the vegetable tray 3 from all directions. The blowing of hot air can not only accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the vegetables, but also carry away the water vapor produced by evaporation, thereby drying the remaining moisture on the surface of the vegetables, completing the drying process of the quick-frozen vegetables, and further improving the dryness of the vegetables.

[0035] In a further embodiment, a groove 51 is provided on the inner wall of the air inlet heating pipe 41, and the electric heating wire mesh 43 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 51. A fixing plate 53 is fixedly connected to one side of the air inlet heating pipe 41, and a clamping plate 52 is provided below the fixing plate 53. The fixing plate 53 and the clamping plate 52 are threadedly connected by the same bolt 54.

[0036] Specifically, when the electric heating wire mesh 43 is damaged and needs to be replaced, simply loosen the bolt 54 to separate the clamping plate 52 from the fixing plate 53, thereby releasing the clamp on the electric heating wire mesh 43. At this time, the damaged electric heating wire mesh 43 can be easily taken out along the slide groove 51. Then, the new electric heating wire mesh 43 is slid into the appropriate position along the slide groove 51, and then fixed by tightening the bolt 54 to complete the replacement operation, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of maintenance.

[0037] In a further embodiment, an electrical connector 432 is fixedly connected to one side of the electric heating wire mesh 43, and a handle 431 is provided on one side of the electrical connector 432.

[0038] Specifically, when it is necessary to maintain or replace the electric heating wire mesh 43 or to stop the device from working, the connection between the electrical connector 432 and the power supply can be disconnected to avoid electric shock and other safety accidents. The handle 431 makes it convenient for operators to operate the electric heating wire mesh 43.

[0039] It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical description of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
