Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of edible fungi storage technology, and in particular to an edible fungi refrigeration device. Background Technology

[0002] In the edible fungus industry, packaged edible fungi are usually preserved in cold storage rooms. The cold storage process is crucial for maintaining the freshness of edible fungi and extending their shelf life.

[0003] Currently, most cold storage rooms used for edible fungi are not efficient in terms of space utilization. Specifically, workers often simply pile the dried fungi directly inside the cold storage room. This simple stacking method results in the underutilization of space, leading to significant waste. Due to a lack of proper planning and layout, the haphazard stacking of fungi prevents the maximization of space utilization, causing the actual storage capacity of the cold storage room to be far lower than its theoretical capacity, thus increasing the operating costs for businesses.

[0004] Furthermore, directly piling up edible fungi also leads to serious quality problems. The fungi at the bottom bear enormous pressure from the fungi above, making them extremely prone to crushing. Once crushed, the fungi not only suffer from damaged appearance but also affect sales.

[0005] Furthermore, the existing cold storage stacking method is not conducive to the loading and unloading of materials by staff. Because the edible fungi are piled up haphazardly without clear passageways or operating space, staff have to spend a lot of time and energy searching for and moving the fungi in the piles, which is extremely inconvenient and reduces work efficiency.

[0006] To address the above issues, a refrigeration device for edible fungi has been designed. Utility Model Content

[0007] This application provides a refrigeration device for edible fungi to solve the problem that most refrigeration rooms used for edible fungi in the related technology usually pile the dried edible fungi directly inside the refrigeration room, which makes the space of the refrigeration room underutilized and is not conducive to the storage and loading / unloading of edible fungi.

[0008] Firstly, a refrigeration device for edible fungi is provided, comprising:

[0009] A cold storage room and a refrigeration unit are interconnected. The cold storage room is provided with two grilles that communicate with the refrigeration unit. The refrigeration unit sends cold air into the cold storage room through the grilles. The cold storage room is characterized by having three sets of storage shelves, which are distributed along the length of the cold storage room. The three sets of storage shelves separate the cold storage room to form two employee passages. The cold storage room is hinged with two side doors that are opposite to the employee passages.

[0010] The storage rack includes a base disposed inside the refrigerator compartment, two supports disposed opposite each other on the base, and a plurality of material placement platforms disposed along the height of the two supports on the same side, the material placement platforms being used to place packaged edible fungi.

[0011] In some embodiments, a set of the storage shelves consists of two shelves, with two adjacent shelves distributed along the width of the refrigerator compartment.

[0012] In some embodiments, three mounting base plates are sequentially arranged inside the refrigerator compartment. The mounting base plates are used to support the base and are T-shaped with multiple screw holes on the top.

[0013] In some embodiments, the base is slidably mounted on a corresponding mounting base plate. The base is n-shaped and slides with the mounting base plate. The base has multiple threaded holes. The base and the mounting base plate are connected by bolts.

[0014] In some embodiments, the brackets are provided with opposite insertion holes, and a plurality of feeding platforms are inserted and disposed on both sides of two adjacent brackets.

[0015] In some embodiments, the feeding platform includes two support plates arranged opposite each other, adjacent support plates are connected by a plurality of reinforcing ribs, and a cover plate abuts between the tops of the adjacent support plates, the cover plate being used to support edible fungi;

[0016] One end of the support plate is provided with multiple inserts, which are inserted into corresponding sockets.

[0017] The other end of each of the two adjacent support plates is provided with a folding piece, the top of which is inclined toward one end of the cover plate to prevent edible fungi from falling off.

[0018] In some embodiments, the cover plate has multiple sets of ventilation holes.

[0019] In some embodiments, the refrigeration equipment includes a mounting bracket disposed at one end of the refrigerator compartment, a housing disposed on the mounting bracket, a fan located at the upper part and an evaporator located at the lower part disposed inside the housing, a grille disposed between the refrigerator compartment and the housing, and the housing communicating with the refrigerator compartment;

[0020] The mounting bracket is also equipped with a compressor and a condenser located below the housing. The compressor and the condenser are connected by an exhaust pipe, the condenser and the evaporator are connected by a liquid supply pipe, and the evaporator and the compressor are connected by a suction pipe.

[0021] This application provides a refrigeration device for edible fungi. By setting up storage racks and multiple feeding platforms, edible fungi can be placed in layers and categories, making full use of the vertical and horizontal space of the refrigeration room, greatly improving the space utilization rate of the refrigeration room. Furthermore, placing the edible fungi on the feeding platforms avoids direct stacking, reducing the risk of the bottom edible fungi being crushed and ensuring the integrity of the edible fungi.

[0022] The storage racks that separate the cold storage room create two staff passages, providing ample operating space for staff. These passages facilitate convenient and quick loading and unloading of edible fungi, improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] This application provides a refrigeration device for edible fungi, which solves the problem that most refrigeration rooms used for edible fungi in the related technology usually pile the dried edible fungi directly inside the refrigeration room, which makes the space of the refrigeration room underutilized and is not conducive to the storage and loading / unloading of edible fungi.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-3 A refrigeration device for edible fungi includes: a refrigeration chamber 1 and a refrigeration device 2 connected to each other; the refrigeration chamber 1 is provided with two grilles 3 communicating with the refrigeration device 2; the refrigeration device 2 sends cold air into the refrigeration chamber 1 through the grilles 3; the refrigeration chamber 1 is characterized by having three sets of storage racks 4, the three sets of storage racks 4 being distributed along the length of the refrigeration chamber 1, the three sets of storage racks 4 separating the refrigeration chamber 1 to form two employee passages 5; the refrigeration chamber 1 is hinged with two side doors 6 opposite to the employee passages 5; the storage racks 4 include a base 41 disposed inside the refrigeration chamber 1, two supports 42 disposed opposite each other on the base 41, and a plurality of feeding platforms 43 along the height of the two supports 42 on the same side, the feeding platforms 43 being used to place packaged edible fungi.

[0034] After the refrigeration equipment 2 is started, cold air is sent into the cold storage compartment 1 through the grille 3 to regulate the temperature inside the cold storage compartment 1 and keep it in a low-temperature environment suitable for storing edible fungi.

[0035] The packaged edible fungi are placed on the feeding platform 43. Staff can enter the cold storage room 1 through the side door 6 opposite to the staff passage 5, and move conveniently between the various storage shelves 4 along the staff passage 5 to place the edible fungi on the appropriate feeding platform 43, or take the edible fungi off the feeding platform 43.

[0036] By setting up storage racks 4 and multiple feeding platforms 43, edible fungi can be placed in layers and categories, making full use of the vertical and horizontal space of the cold storage room 1, greatly improving the space utilization rate of the cold storage room 1. Furthermore, placing edible fungi on the feeding platforms 43 avoids direct stacking, reduces the risk of the bottom edible fungi being crushed, and ensures the integrity of the edible fungi.

[0037] The storage rack 4 separates the cold storage room 1 into two employee passages 5, providing a spacious operating space for staff. Through the employee passages 5, the loading and unloading of edible fungi can be carried out conveniently and quickly, improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically, in this embodiment, there are two storage racks 4 in one set. The two adjacent storage racks 4 are distributed along the width of the refrigerator compartment 1, and there is a gap between the two adjacent storage racks 4.

[0039] A set of storage racks 4 includes two storage racks 4 distributed along the width of the refrigerator compartment 1. In this layout, when the refrigeration equipment 2 delivers cold air through the grille 3, the cold air can be diffused more evenly in the refrigerator compartment 1.

[0040] Because there is a certain space between the storage racks 4, the cold air can flow more smoothly in the width direction of the refrigerator compartment 1, reducing the dead air angles caused by the storage racks 4, ensuring that the edible fungi on each storage rack 4 are in a relatively uniform low temperature environment, and ensuring the consistency of the cooling effect.

[0041] In addition, while ensuring sufficient space for staff passageways 5 within the cold storage room 1 to facilitate staff operations, the space in the width direction of the cold storage room 1 is fully utilized, achieving an optimized balance in space utilization.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, three mounting base plates 7 are sequentially arranged inside the refrigerator compartment 1. The mounting base plates 7 are used to support the base 41. The mounting base plates 7 are T-shaped and have multiple screw holes 71 on the top.

[0043] The mounting base plate 7 provides stable support for the base 41 of the storage rack 4.

[0044] When installing the storage rack 4, the base 41 is placed on the corresponding mounting base 7. Since the mounting base 7 is T-shaped, it can provide a limiting and supporting function for the base 41, preventing the base 41 from shaking or shifting in the refrigerator compartment 1.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the base 41 is slidably mounted on the corresponding mounting base plate 7. The base 41 is n-shaped and slides with the mounting base plate 7. The base 41 has multiple threaded holes. The base 41 and the mounting base plate 7 are connected by bolts.

[0046] The base 41 has multiple threaded holes. When the base 41 slides to the appropriate position, the bolts are passed through the threaded holes and screwed into the corresponding holes on the mounting base plate 7. Through the tightening action of the bolts, the base 41 and the mounting base plate 7 are firmly connected together, ensuring that the storage rack 4 is stably fixed in the refrigerator compartment 1 and will not move arbitrarily due to external forces.

[0047] The sliding fit between the base 41 and the mounting base 7 allows the position of the storage rack 4 to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, without the need for large-scale modification of the overall structure of the cold storage compartment 1, which greatly improves the layout flexibility of the equipment.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket 42 has opposite insertion holes 421, and a plurality of feeding platforms 43 are inserted and arranged on both sides of two adjacent brackets 42.

[0049] During the assembly of the storage rack 4, workers can insert the feeding platform 43 into the insertion holes 421 on both sides of two adjacent brackets 42 according to a certain spacing and sequence, so as to achieve quick connection between the feeding platform 43 and the bracket 42. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the feeding platform 43 or disassemble it, simply pull the feeding platform 43 out of the insertion hole 421. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0050] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the feeding platform 43 includes two support plates 431 arranged opposite to each other. The two adjacent support plates 431 are connected by a plurality of reinforcing ribs 432. A cover plate 433 abuts between the tops of the two adjacent support plates 431. The cover plate 433 is used to support edible fungi. One end of the support plate 431 is provided with a plurality of inserts 434, which are inserted into the corresponding insertion holes 421. The other end of the two adjacent support plates 431 is provided with a folding piece 435. The top of the folding piece 435 is inclined toward the cover plate 433 to prevent edible fungi from falling.

[0051] The two support plates 431 are connected by multiple reinforcing ribs 432, which enhance the structural strength between the support plates 431.

[0052] In practical use, the cover plate 433 is placed between the tops of two adjacent support plates 431 and fixed in place to form a flat surface for supporting edible fungi. Finally, the insert strip 434 at the end of the support plate 431 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 421 on the bracket 42 to achieve a fixed connection between the feeding platform 43 and the bracket 42.

[0053] The packaged edible fungi are placed on the cover plate 433. When the edible fungi tend to slide towards the edge of the support plate 431, the folding plate 435 will act as a blockage to prevent the edible fungi from falling off the feeding platform 43.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the cover plate 433 is provided with multiple sets of ventilation holes.

[0055] When the cold air reaches the feeding platform 43 area, the cold air can circulate freely up and down the cover plate 433 through these ventilation holes, so that all parts of the edible fungi placed on the cover plate 433 can be fully in contact with the cold air.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it should be noted that the refrigeration equipment 2 in this embodiment includes a mounting bracket 21 disposed at one end of the refrigerator compartment 1. A housing 22 is disposed on the mounting bracket 21. A fan 23 located at the upper part and an evaporator 24 located at the lower part are disposed inside the housing 22. The grille 3 is arranged between the refrigerator compartment 1 and the housing 22. The housing 22 is connected to the refrigerator compartment 1. A compressor 25 and a condenser 26 located below the housing 22 are also disposed on the mounting bracket 21. The compressor 25 and the condenser 26 are connected through an exhaust pipe. The condenser 26 is connected to the evaporator 24 through a liquid delivery pipe. The evaporator 24 and the compressor 25 are connected through a suction pipe.

[0057] The compressor 25, as the power source of the refrigeration system, draws in low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas, compresses it into high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas through compression work, and then delivers it to the condenser 26 through the exhaust pipe. After entering the condenser 26, the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas exchanges heat with the outside air, dissipating the heat to the external environment of the cold storage compartment 1, gradually cooling itself and liquefying into high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant liquid, which is then delivered to the evaporator 24 through the liquid delivery pipe.

[0058] When the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant liquid enters the evaporator 24, it rapidly vaporizes and absorbs a large amount of heat due to the pressure drop, causing the surface temperature of the evaporator 24 to decrease. At this time, the fan 23 starts, drawing air from the cold compartment 1 into the casing 22. As the air passes over the low-temperature surface of the evaporator 24, it is cooled, forming low-temperature cold air.

[0059] The cooled air enters the refrigerator compartment 1 through the grille 3, cooling and preserving the edible fungi inside. At the same time, low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas is drawn back into the compressor 25 from the evaporator 24 through the suction pipe, starting a new refrigeration cycle.

[0060] The fan 23 is located in the upper part of the casing 22. When it runs, it generates a strong suction force, drawing hot air from the refrigerator compartment 1 into the casing 22 through the grille 3. After being cooled by the evaporator 24, the hot air is blown out through the air outlet of the casing 22 under the action of the fan 23, although not explicitly mentioned, it can be reasonably inferred that it is blown out again through the grille 3 into the refrigerator compartment 1, forming a circulating airflow to ensure a uniform temperature distribution in the refrigerator compartment 1. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
