Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a food cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Frozen foods are divided into chilled foods and frozen foods. Frozen foods are processed and stored at low temperatures (usually below -18°C). They are foods that are frozen and then stored at temperatures below their freezing point. This effectively inhibits microbial activity, delays food spoilage, and thus extends shelf life while preserving nutrients. They are commonly used for perishable foods such as meat, poultry, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, and fruits. They are nutritious, convenient, hygienic, and economical, and have a large market demand. Frozen seafood refers to seafood that has been caught and frozen at low temperatures to extend its shelf life and maintain its freshness and taste. There are many types of frozen seafood, including but not limited to fish, shrimp, and shellfish. Through freezing, seafood can be preserved for a long time without easily spoiling, making it convenient for transportation and storage.
[0003] During the freezing process, moisture will condense into ice or ice crystals and adhere to the surface of food. When food with ice is placed in the cleaning equipment, the internal temperature of the equipment will be too low. The low temperature will cause the wastewater to condense into thin ice on the inner wall of the equipment, and it will accumulate thicker and thicker. The wastewater cannot be discharged or may even block the outlet, which will greatly affect the use of the equipment.
[0004] Therefore, in order to avoid ice accumulation on the inner wall or outlet of the equipment and affecting its normal operation, a food cleaning device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0029] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 7The outer casing 1 has multiple feet 26 at its bottom, each with an anti-slip pad 27. A rubber ring 28 is located on one side of the bottom of the outer casing 1, and a water outlet pipe 29 is located on one side of the rubber ring 28. The water outlet pipe 29 passes through the outer casing 1 and the rubber ring 28 and extends into the interior of the outer casing 1. A cover 30 is located on the top of the outer casing 1, with a sealing ring 31 at its bottom. A handle 32 is located on one side of the surface of the cover 30, and an anti-slip sleeve 33 is located on the surface of the handle 32.

Water inlet pipe 1 8 and water inlet pipe 22 both pass through the box body 35 and extend to the outside of the box body 35. Here, the sewage inside the outer casing 1 can be discharged through the water outlet pipe 29.
[0030] Working Principle: First, during operation, the operator can use handle 32 as a leverage point to open the lid 30. The anti-slip sleeve 33 provides anti-slip protection. After opening the lid 30, frozen food can be placed inside the cleaning tank 15. The ice in the frozen food will cause the internal temperature of the equipment to drop too low, and the water vapor on the outer shell 1 will condense into frost and adhere to the inner wall of the outer shell 1. Then, the equipment is started. At this time, water flows into the water storage tank 21 through the second water inlet pipe 22, then flows into the water storage ring 18 through the second water storage pipe 20, and flows to the surface of the frozen food inside the cleaning tank 15 through the outlet 19 for cleaning the frozen food. At the same time, warm water is injected into the water storage tank 7 through the first water inlet pipe 8, and then flows into the water storage ring 4 through the first water storage pipe 6, and is sprayed onto the inner wall of the outer shell 1 through the nozzle 5 to clean the inner wall of the outer shell 1. As the frost on the wall melts, the motor 9 located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer casing 1 starts working, driving the bearing 14 to rotate and causing the cleaning tub 15 to rotate clockwise. At the same time, the collar 10 located on the surface of the bearing 14 also starts to rotate, driving the brush rods 11 on both sides to rotate inside the outer casing 1. One end of the brush rod 11 is equipped with a scraper 12, which is in contact with the inner wall of the outer casing 1. As it brushes across the inner wall of the outer casing 1, it can scrape off the frost adhering to the inner wall of the outer casing 1. The two work together to achieve a good cleaning effect on the frost on the inner wall of the outer casing 1, avoiding excessive frost accumulation that may affect the operation of the equipment. At the same time, it also avoids the problem of ice on frozen food not melting due to excessively low internal temperature. The spray direction of the nozzle 5 can only spray on the outer wall of the outer casing 1, avoiding any impact on the frozen food, improving work efficiency, reducing equipment wear and tear, and achieving a good cleaning effect.
[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
