Traditional blanching equipment often suffers from inaccurate temperature control, low thermal efficiency, significant water waste, and inefficiency due to discontinuous processing. Furthermore, the direct discharge of cooling water not only wastes water resources but may also impose environmental burdens. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1-3As shown, the present invention discloses a blanching device for aquatic product processing, comprising a preheating tank 1, a blanching tank 2, a cooling tank 3, a conveying mechanism 4, a heating wire disc 5, a heat-conducting plate 6, a temperature sensor 7, and a water storage tank 9. The preheating tank 1, the blanching tank 2, and the cooling tank 3 are arranged sequentially from one end to the other. The water temperature in the preheating tank 1 is controlled at a preheating temperature lower than the blanching temperature (e.g., 60-80℃), the water temperature in the blanching tank 2 is controlled at the required precise blanching temperature (e.g., 90-100℃), and room temperature water or low temperature water is introduced into the cooling tank 3 for rapid cooling. The preheating tank 1, the blanching tank 2, and the cooling tank 3 are all equipped with conveying mechanisms 4. The unloading end of the conveying mechanism 4 in the preheating tank 1 extends directly above the loading end of the conveying mechanism 4 in the blanching tank 2, and the unloading end of the conveying mechanism 4 in the blanching tank 2 extends directly above the loading end of the conveying mechanism 4 in the cooling tank 3, allowing the aquatic products to slide naturally through. The heating wire discs 5 are installed on the inner bottom walls of the preheating tank 1 and the blanching tank 2. A heat-conducting plate 6 (such as a stainless steel plate) is provided on the outer side of the heating wire discs 5. The heat-conducting plate 6 evenly diffuses the heat generated by the heating wire discs 5, preventing the heating wires from directly contacting the products and causing localized burns or scorching of deposits. Temperature sensors 7 are installed in the preheating tank 1, the blanching tank 2, and the cooling tank 3 to monitor the water temperature in real time and adjust the power of the heating wire discs 5 according to the water temperature, achieving precise temperature control. The cooling tank 3 has a drain outlet 8 on one side of its bottom. A filter screen 11 is detachably installed inside the water storage tank 9. A water inlet 10 is opened on one side of the water storage tank 9 above the filter screen 11. The drain outlet 8 is connected to the water inlet 10 through a pipe. A water outlet 12 is opened on the other side of the bottom of the water storage tank 9. The water outlet 12 is connected to one end of the main supply pipe 13. The main supply pipe 13 spans the preheating tank 1 and extends to the top of the scalding tank 2. The bottom of the main supply pipe 13 is connected to a first supply branch pipe 131 extending to the top of the preheating tank 1. The other end of the main supply pipe 13 is vertically connected to a second supply branch pipe 132.

[0024] The conveying mechanism 4 includes a first driving wheel 41, a first intermediate wheel 42, a second intermediate wheel 43, a first driven wheel 44, and a conveyor belt 45. The first driving wheel 41 is driven by a drive motor. The conveyor belt 45 is evenly provided with partitions 451. The conveyor belt 45 between the first driving wheel 41 and the first intermediate wheel 42 and between the second intermediate wheel 43 and the first driven wheel 44 is straight. The conveyor belt 45 between the first intermediate wheel 42 and the second intermediate wheel 43 is inclined upward. Its function is to lift aquatic products from a lower position to a higher position.

[0025] The first supply branch pipe 131 is equipped with a first control valve 1311, the second supply branch pipe 132 is equipped with a second control valve 1321, and the main supply pipe 13 is equipped with a water pump 14 and a third control valve 15.

[0026] The water storage tank 9 has locking blocks 91 between its two inner walls, and the filter screen 11 has slots 111 on both sides. The two locking blocks 91 are correspondingly engaged in the two slots 111. The water storage tank 9 has a detachable filter screen 11 for filtering out impurities such as scales and meat scraps from the water. The filter screen 11 has a pull ring 112 on its outer side for easy removal and cleaning.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] (1) Preheating: Aquatic products are fed into preheating tank 1 by conveying mechanism 4 and preheated in preheating warm water.

[0029] (2) Blanching: The preheated product slides onto the conveyor belt 45 of the blanching tank 2 and undergoes core processing in the precisely temperature-controlled blanching water.

[0030] (3) Cooling: After blanching, the product slides onto the conveyor belt 45 of the cooling tank 3 and is quickly cooled by cooling water.

[0031] (4) Water circulation: Warm water (containing impurities) from cooling tank 3 enters water storage tank 9 through drain outlet 8, pipe, and inlet 10. After being filtered by filter screen 11, it becomes cleaner water and is stored at the bottom of the tank. When preheating tank 1 or scalding tank 2 needs to be replenished due to evaporation or process requirements, water pump 14 and corresponding control valves (third control valve 15, first control valve 1311, or second control valve 1321) are turned on. The filtered water is replenished to preheating tank 1 through outlet 12, main supply pipe 13, and first supply branch pipe 131, or to scalding tank 2 through second supply branch pipe 132. Scalding tank 2 usually needs to be replenished with high-temperature water, which can be achieved by controlling water to be replenished only to scalding tank 2 or by using electric heating wire plate 5 to heat and replenish water.
