Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment, specifically a multi-station quick-freezing conveyor for pre-prepared dishes. Background Technology

[0002] The prepared food industry is experiencing explosive growth, and this rapid expansion places higher demands on the large-scale production capacity of central kitchens. However, the efficiency bottleneck of traditional quick-freezing equipment has become a key factor restricting the industry's development. In the traditional prepared food production process, the processing and freezing processes are often separate. That is, the main workshop is divided into a prepared food processing department and a prepared food freezing department. After the prepared food is processed and packaged, specific transportation and loading / unloading steps are required to transfer the prepared food. This step is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also often requires both departments to stop loading and unloading each time the prepared food is transferred, interrupting the workflow between the two departments, affecting the continuity of the prepared food production process, and reducing production efficiency. In addition, the separation of the processing and freezing processes also increases the demand for production space, resulting in a consistently low workshop utilization rate. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-station quick-freezing conveyor for pre-prepared dishes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A multi-station quick-freezing conveyor for pre-prepared vegetables includes a horizontal processing conveyor belt with several quick-freezing mechanisms evenly arranged on it. Each quick-freezing mechanism includes a quick-freezing chamber located in the upper part of the processing conveyor belt. The quick-freezing chamber has a material inlet and a conveyor belt outlet respectively opened along the running direction of the processing conveyor belt. The inner cavity of the quick-freezing chamber is equipped with a quick-freezing material pushing mechanism, the pushing direction of which is perpendicular to the running direction of the processing conveyor belt. The quick-freezing chamber has a material outlet opened along the pushing direction of the quick-freezing material pushing mechanism. A quick-freezing cold air pipe is connected to the quick-freezing chamber.

[0006] In a further embodiment, the quick-frozen material pushing mechanism includes a material pushing plate located in the inner cavity of the quick-frozen compartment. The material pushing plate is located on one side of the processing conveyor belt. A horizontal pushing cylinder is provided on the outer wall of the quick-frozen compartment. The telescopic rod of the pushing cylinder passes through the side wall of the quick-frozen compartment and is fixedly connected to the material pushing plate. In use, the material pushing plate can push the quick-frozen pre-cooked food out of the material outlet.

[0007] In a further embodiment, the processing conveyor belt is densely perforated with through holes.

[0008] In a further embodiment, the quick-freezing cold air pipes are located on the upper and lower sides of the quick-freezing chamber, respectively.

[0009] In a further embodiment, a flexible heat-insulating curtain is hung on the material inlet and material outlet.

[0010] In a further embodiment, a guide trough is fixed on the outer wall of the quick-freezing chamber located below the material outlet.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] In this invention, several quick-freezing mechanisms are evenly arranged on the processing conveyor belt, with a certain distance maintained between each adjacent quick-freezing mechanism to accommodate pre-prepared food processing stations. After the pre-prepared food is processed and packaged, production personnel can place it on the processing conveyor belt, which then transports it into the quick-freezing chamber of the quick-freezing mechanism for quick-freezing by cold air. After quick-freezing, the food is pushed out of the quick-freezing chamber by a quick-freezing material pushing mechanism. This device organically combines the pre-prepared food processing department and the pre-prepared food freezing department, placing them on the same production line. This directly simplifies the transportation and loading / unloading steps in the traditional production process, allowing the processing and freezing processes to proceed continuously and uninterruptedly. This effectively saves manpower and resources, greatly improving production efficiency. Furthermore, combining the two departments reduces space requirements and improves the space utilization rate of the workshop. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Implementation, for example Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-station quick-freezing conveyor for pre-prepared dishes, including a horizontal processing conveyor belt 1 with densely packed through holes, and several quick-freezing mechanisms evenly arranged on the processing conveyor belt 1; the quick-freezing mechanism includes a quick-freezing chamber 2 located in the upper part of the processing conveyor belt 1, and a material inlet 3 and a conveyor belt outlet 4 respectively opened on the quick-freezing chamber 2 along the running direction of the processing conveyor belt 1. The inner cavity of the quick-freezing chamber 2 is provided with a quick-freezing material pushing mechanism, and the pushing direction of the quick-freezing material pushing mechanism is perpendicular to the running direction of the processing conveyor belt 1. A material outlet 5 is opened on the quick-freezing chamber 2 along the pushing direction of the quick-freezing material pushing mechanism; a quick-freezing cold air pipe 6 is connected to the quick-freezing chamber 2, and the quick-freezing cold air pipe 6 is located on the upper and lower sides of the quick-freezing chamber 2 respectively. The quick-freezing material pushing mechanism includes a material pushing plate 7 located inside the quick-freezing chamber 2. The material pushing plate 7 is located on one side of the processing conveyor belt 1. A horizontal pushing cylinder 8 is provided on the outer wall of the quick-freezing chamber 2. The telescopic rod of the pushing cylinder 8 passes through the side wall of the quick-freezing chamber 2 and is fixedly connected to the material pushing plate 7. In use, the material pushing plate 7 can push the quick-frozen pre-cooked food out of the material outlet 5. A soft heat-insulating curtain 9 is hung on the material inlet 3 and the material outlet 5. A guide trough 10 is fixed on the outer wall of the quick-freezing chamber 2 below the material outlet 5. In this embodiment, several quick-freezing mechanisms are evenly arranged on the processing conveyor belt 1, and a certain distance is reserved between each adjacent quick-freezing mechanism for placing the pre-cooked food processing station. After the pre-cooked food is processed and packaged, the production personnel can place it on the processing conveyor belt 1, and the processing conveyor belt 1 will send the pre-cooked food into the quick-freezing chamber 2 of the quick-freezing mechanism for quick-freezing by cold air. After quick-freezing, the quick-freezing material pushing mechanism can push it out of the quick-freezing chamber 2. The aforementioned device organically combines the pre-prepared food processing department and the pre-prepared food freezing department, placing them on the same production line. This directly simplifies the transportation and loading / unloading steps in the traditional production process, enabling the processing and freezing processes to proceed continuously and without interruption. This effectively saves manpower and resources and greatly improves production efficiency. In addition, combining the two departments also reduces the space requirements and improves the space utilization rate of the workshop.

[0021] In operation, the processing conveyor belt 1 is started, and workers begin producing pre-prepared dishes at the pre-prepared dish processing station. After the first batch of pre-prepared dishes is produced, cold air is released into the quick-freezing chamber 2 through the quick-freezing cold air pipe 6 (the quick-freezing cold air pipe 6 is connected to the quick-freezing cold air machine in the prior art). The packaged pre-prepared dishes are placed on the processing conveyor belt 1, and the processing conveyor belt 1 transports them from the material inlet 3 into the quick-freezing chamber 2. Because the processing conveyor belt 1 has dense through holes, and the quick-freezing chamber 2 is connected to the top and bottom with cold air pipes, the top and bottom sides of the pre-prepared dishes can be wrapped by quick-freezing cold air and frozen quickly. When the pre-prepared dishes move to the conveyor belt outlet 4, they are blocked by the side wall of the quick-freezing chamber 2 and stop moving. At this time, the material pusher plate 7, pushed by the extension rod of the pusher cylinder 8, pushes the pre-prepared dishes out of the quick-freezing chamber 2 from the material outlet 5. The pre-prepared dishes fall into the pre-prepared storage container along the guide chute 10. The above steps can be carried out continuously without interruption, which significantly improves the overall processing efficiency of pre-prepared dishes. In addition, both the material inlet 3 and the material outlet 5 are covered with soft heat-insulating curtains 9, which not only do not affect the transportation of pre-cooked dishes, but also maintain the freezing effect inside the quick-freezing chamber 2 to a certain extent.

[0022] 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.
