Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bird's nest processing technology, and in particular to a bird's nest industrial production soaking and rehydration equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As a precious traditional tonic, the quality of bird's nest is closely related to the soaking process before subsequent processing. Soaking is a key pre-treatment step in bird's nest processing. Its main purpose is to restore the dried bird's nest to a volume and softness close to its natural state through water immersion, so as to facilitate subsequent cleaning, feather removal, cooking or further processing.

[0003] Currently, the bird's nest soaking process in the industry generally uses a relatively primitive manual operation method. Specifically, the existing mainstream soaking method mainly relies on manual operation of turnover boxes. Operators need to place the dry bird's nest in the turnover box and manually add an appropriate amount of water for soaking. The amount of dry bird's nest raw material processed at one time is usually limited to about 500 grams, which greatly limits production efficiency and makes it difficult to meet the large-scale market demand.

[0004] Furthermore, to ensure that the bird's nests absorb water evenly and fully expand, the process requires operators to turn them over approximately every 30 minutes during the soaking process. This task must be done manually, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient but also significantly increases production costs.

[0005] Based on this, in order to improve the stability of existing bird's nest soaking processes, we propose a bird's nest industrial production soaking equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the need for manual operation to meet large-scale market demands, and to propose a bird's nest industrial production soaking equipment.

[0015] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes at least two sleeves fixed on the first edge, and positioning holes adapted to the sleeves are provided on both the second edge and the third edge.

[0016] The sleeve has a movably inserted rod inside it, and two locking balls are movably connected to the outside of the sleeve. The end of the rod has an inner retractable groove to accommodate the locking balls, and the locking balls stop above the third edge.

[0017] Furthermore, a rotating ring is rotatably connected to the outside of the insertion rod, and a tension spring is fixedly connected between the rotating ring and the sleeve;

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-5 As an embodiment of this utility model, a bird's nest industrial production soaking equipment is disclosed. Specifically, the soaking equipment includes an outer cylinder 1 and an inner cylinder 2 placed in the outer cylinder 1. In this embodiment, the interior of the inner cylinder 2 is preferably configured as a funnel shape, which is designed to facilitate the convenient discharge of bird's nest material from the inner cylinder 2.

[0033] A heating interlayer 3 is formed between the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2. A heating element 4 is installed in the heating interlayer 3. In this embodiment, the heating element 4 is set as a heating wire. The heating wire can be spirally wound around the outside of the inner cylinder 2. The heating wire is used to heat the water in the inner cylinder 2 to meet the foaming requirements at different temperatures. Preferably, in order to perform temperature detection, a temperature sensor can also be embedded in the inner cylinder 2 to realize water temperature detection and ensure accurate heating control of water temperature. In addition, a heat insulation layer can also be provided on the outside of the outer cylinder 1, such as a sponge layer for heat insulation and protection to reduce heat loss.

[0034] The outer cylinder 1 is topped with a lid 5. The outer cylinder 1, the inner cylinder 2 and the lid 5 are detachably connected by a locking assembly 6. A stirring assembly 7 is also installed in the lid 5.

[0035] In some embodiments, the top opening of the outer cylinder 1 of this invention has a first edge 11 bent outward, and the top opening of the inner cylinder 2 has a second edge 21 bent outward. The second edge 21 is attached to the top of the first edge 11. Of course, in this embodiment, both the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 are set as circular cylinders, and the first edge 11 and the second edge 21 are set as circular structural components. In addition, in this embodiment, both the first edge 11 and the second edge 21 adopt a 90-degree bending design.

[0036] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the bottom of the bucket lid 5 is bent outward with a third edge 51, which is attached to the second edge 21. Similarly, in this embodiment, the third edge 51 is also set as a circular structural component.

[0037] The locking component 6 is connected between the first edge 11, the second edge 21 and the third edge 51.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the locking component 6 includes at least two sleeves 61 fixed on the first edge 11, and the second edge 21 and the third edge 51 are both provided with positioning holes that are adapted to the sleeves 61.

[0039] The sleeve 61 is movably inserted into the insert rod 62. Two locking balls 63 are movably connected to the outside of the sleeve 61. In this embodiment, a ball bearing hole is provided on the outside of the sleeve 61. The locking balls 63 can move outward along the ball bearing hole. Of course, the inner diameter of the outer side of the ball bearing hole should be smaller than the outer diameter of the locking balls 63 to prevent the locking balls 63 from falling out of the ball bearing hole. The end of the insert rod 62 has an inner retractable annular groove 64 to accommodate the locking balls 63. In the initial state, the outer wall of the locking balls 63 is in contact with the outer wall of the insert rod 62. When the insert rod 62 is pulled outward, the inner retractable annular groove 64 and the locking balls 63 are aligned. At this time, since the locking balls 63 have room to move in the inner retractable annular groove 64, when the second edge 21 and the third edge 51 are connected, they can move inward against the locking balls 63, thereby ensuring the free installation of the second edge 21 and the third edge 51 in this state.

[0040] Conversely, after the second edge 21 and the third edge 51 are installed in the rear position, the insert rod 62 can be released to move it to the initial position. At this time, the locking bead 63 moves outward and stops above the third edge 51.

[0041] When installing the inner cylinder 2 and the lid 5, first pull the insert rod 62 down. Keep the locking bead 63 in a free state, and place the second edge 21 on the inner cylinder 2 on the first edge 11 of the outer cylinder 1. During this process, the positioning holes on the sleeve 61 and the second edge 21 should be aligned to ensure circumferential positioning of the inner cylinder 2.

[0042] Similarly, attach the third edge 51 of the lid 5 to the second edge 21, ensuring that the positioning hole on the third edge 51 and the sleeve 61 are connected to ensure circumferential positioning of the lid 5. After positioning, push the insert rod 62 to reset it, and the locking bead 63 will stop above the third edge 51, thus completing the locking and positioning of the inner cylinder 2 and the lid 5. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0043] Preferably, in this embodiment, a rotating ring 65 is rotatably connected to the outside of the insertion rod 62, and a tension spring 66 is fixedly connected between the rotating ring 65 and the sleeve 61. The design of the rotating ring 65 can ensure the free rotation of the insertion rod 62, so as to facilitate subsequent locking. The tension spring 66 is used to reset the insertion rod 62 after it is pulled.

[0044] The bottom end of the insertion rod 62 is fixedly equipped with a handle 67. The handle 67 is used to improve the ease of pulling the insertion rod 62 by the user. This method is a common practice for those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Based on the above embodiments, since it is necessary to keep the insert rod 62 pulled downward when installing the inner cylinder 2 and the lid 5, in order to lock the downward position of the insert rod 62, an L-shaped locking groove 68 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the sleeve 61 in this embodiment, and a positioning pin 69 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the insert rod 62. The positioning pin 69 is slidably connected in the L-shaped locking groove 68. That is, in this embodiment, by setting the L-shaped locking groove 68, when it is necessary to keep the insert rod 62 in a fixed downward position, it can be rotated when the insert rod 62 is pulled to the bottom. At this time, the positioning pin 69 rotates into the side groove of the L-shaped locking groove 68, thus completing the position locking of the insert rod 62.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the stirring assembly 7 includes a motor 71 fixedly mounted on the lid 5. The shaft end of the motor 71 extends through to the bottom of the lid 5 and a shaft 72 is fixedly mounted thereon. A stirring rod 73 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the shaft 72. In this embodiment, the rotation of the shaft 72 and the stirring rod 73 driven by the motor 71 is used to achieve automatic stirring during the soaking of bird's nest. Compared with manual stirring, this can greatly improve the soaking efficiency of bird's nest.

[0047] Of course, in order to control the discharge of the inner cylinder 2, the bottom of the inner cylinder 2 in this embodiment has a discharge pipe 22. The bottom end of the discharge pipe 22 extends to the bottom of the outer cylinder 1. An extension pipe 23 is also threaded to the end of the discharge pipe 22. A valve 24 is provided on the outside of the extension pipe 23. The valve 24 is a ball valve. The discharge pipe 22 and the extension pipe 23 are detachably connected to facilitate the disassembly of the inner cylinder 2. When the inner cylinder 2 needs to be disassembled, the extension pipe 23 is removed first, and then the inner cylinder 2 can be pulled up to separate from the outer cylinder 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, a water inlet pipe 52 is installed on the top of the bucket lid 5 in this invention. The water inlet pipe 52 is used to connect to an external water source. Of course, it can also be quantitatively controlled by a flow pump to ensure the accuracy of the water volume during foaming. An observation window 53 is also provided above the bucket lid 5. The observation window 53 is used to observe the current foaming situation inside, and the internal information can be conveniently viewed without opening the bucket lid 5.

[0049] In addition, in this embodiment, a support leg 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1, and a distribution box 13 is also fixedly installed on the outside of the outer cylinder 1. An air switch can be installed in the distribution box 13, and the motor 71 can be connected to an external power source through the air switch. This control method is a conventional method for those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] In summary, this utility model uses a heating element 4 to heat the water in the inner cylinder 2 to meet the soaking requirements at different temperatures. At the same time, a stirring component 7 is used to achieve automatic stirring during the soaking of bird's nest. Compared with manual stirring, this can greatly improve the soaking efficiency of bird's nest. The outer cylinder 1, inner cylinder 2 and lid 5 adopt a modular and detachable design, which is not only convenient to install, but also allows the inner cylinder 2 to be directly removed for cleaning after soaking, thus improving the convenience of operation.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
