Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wakame processing technology, and in particular to a water bath cooling machine for wakame processing. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional wakame processing, cooling is a crucial step in ensuring product quality and safety. Freshly harvested wakame requires heat treatment such as washing, blanching, or steaming to inactivate enzymes and microorganisms. However, high-temperature treatment can lead to softening of the algae, degradation of pigments, and loss of nutrients. Therefore, rapid cooling is an essential step in the processing, aiming to quickly reduce the material temperature to terminate the residual effects of heat treatment and maintain the crisp texture, vibrant green color, and stability of functional components (such as fucoidan and fucoxanthin).

[0003] Currently, the widely used open-type cooling equipment has a low degree of automation and mainly relies on manual operation for material transfer and turning. This results in high labor intensity for workers and low production efficiency. At the same time, due to the uneven contact between the cooling medium and the material, the cooling efficiency is low and the time is long, making it difficult to achieve a rapid and uniform cooling effect, which affects the stability of subsequent processing steps.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a water bath cooling machine for processing wakame seaweed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the background technology, this utility model proposes a water bath cooling machine for processing wakame seaweed.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water bath cooling machine for processing wakame seaweed, comprising a cooling box, with semi-circular guide rails fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the cooling box, and movable plates slidably installed on each of the semi-circular guide rails, with receiving frames fixedly installed on the opposite ends of the two movable plates; a motor is fixedly installed on the top of the side wall of the cooling box, and a rotating ring is coaxially fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor through a connecting rod, the rotating ring being coaxially arranged with the semi-circular guide rails, a linkage plate being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating ring, and the other end of the linkage plate being fixedly connected to the adjacent movable plate; a cooling assembly is provided on the inner bottom surface of the cooling box.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the end of each of the semi-circular guide rails, and guide wheels are rotatably provided on both sides of the movable plate, with the guide wheels being slidably connected to the inside of the semi-circular guide rails.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a top cover is rotatably installed on one side of the upper end face of the receiving frame, and the side of the top cover facing away from the receiving frame is fastened to the side wall of the receiving frame by a buckle; both the receiving frame and the top cover are provided with drainage holes.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that an assembly plate is fixedly installed on each of the two movable plates at their opposite ends, and a receiving frame is fixedly installed on the opposite ends of the two assembly plates.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the cooling assembly includes a cooling pipe, the cooling pipe is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the cooling box, and a circulating water cooler is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cooling box, with the outlet and return water of the circulating water cooler respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the cooling pipe.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a groove is provided on the inner bottom surface of the cooling box, and the cooling pipe is fixedly installed in the groove.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This water bath cooling machine for processing wakame seaweed consists of a cooling tank, a semi-circular guide rail, a moving plate, a receiving frame, a motor, a rotating ring, and a linkage plate. During operation, the motor drives the rotating ring to rotate, which in turn drives the moving plate to slide along the semi-circular guide rail. This causes the receiving frame to simultaneously revolve and tumble in the cooling water. The cooling water permeates through the drainage holes in the receiving frame, creating turbulent flow. Combined with the 90-180° reciprocating tumbling of the receiving frame, this ensures that all parts of the wakame seaweed are evenly contacted with the cooling medium. This dynamic cooling method has significant advantages over traditional static cooling: firstly, it greatly improves cooling efficiency and shortens cooling time through forced convection heat transfer; secondly, it ensures uniform cooling of the material, avoiding localized overheating or undercooling; and thirdly, the closed-loop operation effectively prevents contamination, preserving the quality and nutritional components of the wakame seaweed.

[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0023] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, the orientations used, such as "up" and "down", usually refer to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" usually refer to the left and right shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a water bath cooling machine for processing wakame seaweed, including a cooling box 1. Semi-circular guide rails 2 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the cooling box 1, and movable plates 3 are slidably mounted on each of the semi-circular guide rails 2. This structural design allows the movable plates 3 to slide smoothly along a predetermined trajectory, ensuring the movement accuracy and stability of the receiving frame 4. Specifically, limit plates 8 are fixedly connected to the ends of the semi-circular guide rails 2, and guide wheels 9 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the movable plates 3. The guide wheels 9 are slidably connected to the interior of the semi-circular guide rails 2. The limit plates 8 effectively prevent the movable plates 3 from derailing, and the rolling friction design of the guide wheels 9 significantly reduces movement resistance, improving equipment operating efficiency and service life.

[0025] A receiving frame 4 is fixedly installed on the opposite ends of the two movable plates 3. This symmetrical layout ensures the balance of the receiving frame 4 during movement and avoids uneven loading. Specifically, an assembly plate 12 is fixedly installed on the opposite ends of the two movable plates 3, and the receiving frame 4 is fixedly installed on the opposite ends of the two assembly plates 12. The rigid connection design of the assembly plates 12 enhances the stability of the overall structure and ensures that the receiving frame 4 will not deform or loosen during high-speed movement. A top cover 10 is rotatably installed on one side of the upper end of the receiving frame 4. The side of the top cover 10 facing away from the receiving frame 4 is fastened to the side wall of the receiving frame 4 by a snap-fit ​​11. Both the receiving frame 4 and the top cover 10 are provided with drainage holes. This design facilitates loading and unloading of materials and prevents the seaweed from scattering during cooling. The even distribution of the drainage holes ensures sufficient penetration of cooling water.

[0026] A motor 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the side wall of the cooling box 1. A rotating ring 6 is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the motor 5 via a connecting rod. The rotating ring 6 is coaxially arranged with the semi-circular guide rail 2. A linkage plate 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating ring 6, and the other end of the linkage plate 7 is fixedly connected to the adjacent moving plate 3. This transmission mechanism achieves smooth and reliable power transmission, ensuring that the receiving frame 4 can move accurately according to the set trajectory. The rigid connection design of the linkage plate 7 effectively avoids energy loss during power transmission and improves transmission efficiency.

[0027] A cooling assembly is installed on the bottom surface of the cooling tank 1. The cooling assembly includes a cooling pipe 13, which is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the cooling tank 1. A circulating water cooler 14 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cooling tank 1, with its outlet and return water inlet fixedly connected to both ends of the cooling pipe 13, respectively. This cooling system design achieves precise control of the cooling water temperature, ensuring that the wakame seaweed receives a uniform and stable cooling effect.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention: a groove is provided on the inner bottom surface of the cooling box 1, and the cooling pipe 13 is fixedly installed in the groove. The groove design improves the installation stability of the cooling pipe 13.

[0029] It should be noted that all the devices in this application are common devices on the market, and can be selected according to the needs of specific use. The circuit connection relationship of each device is a simple series and parallel connection circuit. There is no innovation in the circuit connection. Those skilled in the art can easily implement it. It belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] Initial position as Figure 1As shown, open the top cover 10 of the receiving frame 4, and evenly spread the pre-treated wakame seaweed inside the receiving frame 4. After ensuring the material is evenly distributed, close the top cover 10. Start the motor 5, and its output shaft drives the rotating ring 6 to rotate at a constant speed. The rotating ring 6 transmits power to the moving plate 3 through the connected linkage plate 7, so that the moving plate 3 slides smoothly along the semi-circular guide rail 2 under the support of the guide wheel 9. During this process, the receiving frame 4 performs a compound motion with the moving plate 3: on the one hand, it revolves around the output shaft of the motor 5, and on the other hand, it achieves periodic rotation due to the trajectory constraint of the semi-circular guide rail 2. When the receiving frame 4 enters the cooling water area of ​​the cooling tank 1, the cooling water forms a dynamic permeation flow through the drain holes on the side wall and bottom of the receiving frame 4. Under the dual action of centrifugal force and gravity, the water flow penetrates the wakame seaweed layer in a turbulent state, achieving efficient heat exchange.

[0032] The continuous flipping motion of the receiving frame 4 (approximately 90-180° reciprocating oscillation) constantly changes the spatial orientation of the wakame seaweed, ensuring that all parts of the material can fully contact the cooling medium and eliminating the localized overheating phenomenon present in traditional static cooling. When the moving plate 3 slides along the semi-circular guide rail 2 to its end limit position, the motor 5 switches direction and drives the receiving frame 4 back to the starting position along the original path through the same transmission chain. At this time, the top cover 10 can be opened to check the cooling effect. If deep cooling is required, the above operation cycle can be repeated.

[0033] Throughout the process, the drainage hole design of the receiving frame 4 ensures sufficient exchange of cooling water and effectively prevents the loss of wakame seaweed debris, while the closed operation mode avoids external pollution.

[0034] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
