Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food inspection technology, and in particular to a rapid thawing device for food inspection. Background Technology

[0002] Frozen foods are divided into chilled foods and frozen foods. Frozen foods are easy to preserve and are widely used in the production, transportation and storage of perishable foods such as meat, poultry, aquatic products, dairy products, eggs, vegetables and fruits. They are nutritious, convenient, hygienic and economical. There is a large market demand. Frozen foods need to be thawed when they need to be processed, so thawing equipment is used.

[0003] Traditional rapid thawing devices for food inspection typically employ overall heating, distributing heat evenly throughout the thawing space. However, only a portion of the food may actually require thawing. This results in a significant amount of heat being wasted on areas that do not require thawing or thaw quickly, leading to inefficient energy consumption and increased operating costs. Furthermore, overall heating makes it difficult to control the heating intensity of different parts of the food, resulting in uneven heating and potential overheating in some areas that could damage the food's cell structure and nutrients, thus affecting food quality. Therefore, there is a need to develop a rapid thawing device for food inspection. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the uniform distribution of heat throughout the thawing space, while the actual portion of the food that needs thawing may only be a localized area. This results in a large amount of heat being used to heat areas that do not require thawing or thaw quickly, making it difficult to control the heating degree of different parts of the food. Uneven heating of different parts of the food may also lead to overheating in some areas, damaging the cell structure and nutrients of the food and affecting its quality. Therefore, this invention proposes a rapid thawing device for food inspection.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A rapid thawing device for food inspection includes a base plate and a thawing cylinder, which are fixedly connected. A local heating assembly is provided on the thawing cylinder, comprising a heating spring, a sliding block, and a lead screw. Rotation of the lead screw causes the sliding block to move back and forth horizontally, which in turn causes the heating spring to locally heat the inside of the thawing cylinder. A food thawing auxiliary assembly is also provided on the thawing cylinder, comprising an annular plate movably connected to the inside of the thawing cylinder, a fixed plate on the annular plate, a worm gear and a pressure-penetrating plate movably connected to the annular plate, and a toothed disc on the pressure-penetrating plate. Rotation of the worm gear causes the toothed disc to move, which in turn causes multiple pressure-penetrating plates to rotate simultaneously. The rotation of the pressure-penetrating plates presses the food to the outside of the fixed plate, and the rotation of the toothed disc causes the food to be inspected to move in a circular motion. An arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the inside of the thawing cylinder, and a water flow channel is formed on the arc-shaped plate.

[0007] The above technical solution further includes:

[0008] The defrosting cylinder has a placement hole and a sliding groove on its outer side. A motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the defrosting cylinder. The output shaft end of the motor is fixedly connected to the lead screw. The lead screw and the sliding block are threaded together. The rotation of the motor's output shaft will drive the lead screw to rotate.

[0009] The outer side of the sliding block is fixedly connected to the heating spring, and the end of the heating spring away from the sliding block is fixedly connected to the defrosting cylinder. The sliding block will drive the heating spring to move during the movement of the sliding block.

[0010] A first servo motor is fixedly connected to the outside of the defrosting cylinder. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the first servo motor. Multiple connecting plates are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft. The multiple connecting plates are evenly distributed in a circle along the rotating shaft. The end of the connecting plate away from the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to an annular plate. The rotation of the output shaft of the first servo motor will drive the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft will drive the connecting plates to rotate.

[0011] Multiple fixing plates are fixedly connected to the outer side of the annular plate. The multiple fixing plates are evenly distributed around the circumference of the annular plate, and the food to be tested can be placed on the outer side of the fixing plates.

[0012] A connecting block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the annular plate. A second servo motor is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting block away from the annular plate. The output shaft end of the second servo motor is fixedly connected to the worm gear. Rotation of the output shaft of the second servo motor will drive the worm gear to rotate.

[0013] Multiple extrusion and penetration plates are movably connected to the outer side of the annular plate. The multiple extrusion and penetration plates are evenly distributed around the circumference of the annular plate. The end of the multiple extrusion and penetration plates near the second servo motor is fixedly connected to the gear plate. The gear plate and the worm gear mesh with each other. During the movement of the extrusion and penetration plates, the food to be thawed will be extruded and fixed.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the heating spring, sliding block and lead screw work together to achieve local heating inside the defrosting cylinder. The rotation of the lead screw drives the sliding block to move horizontally, thereby enabling the heating spring to heat a specific area. This local heating method can effectively improve defrosting efficiency and avoid energy waste and over-defrosting caused by overall heating. At the same time, local heating can be flexibly adjusted for different parts of food or samples of different sizes to ensure that the defrosting process is uniform and efficient, reducing detection errors caused by uneven defrosting. It is highly practical.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, components such as the annular plate, fixed plate, worm gear, extrusion permeation plate, and toothed disc work together. The rotation of the worm gear drives the toothed disc to move, thereby causing multiple extrusion permeation plates to rotate simultaneously. This can squeeze the food to the outside of the fixed plate, increasing the contact area between the food and heat, and accelerating the thawing process. At the same time, the rotation of the toothed disc causes the food to be inspected to move in a circular motion, which can make the food heated more evenly, avoid local overheating or incomplete thawing, and improve the thawing quality.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model proposes a rapid thawing device for food inspection, including a base plate 1 and a thawing cylinder 2, which are fixedly connected. A local heating component is provided on the thawing cylinder 2, comprising a heating spring 5, a sliding block 6, and a lead screw 8. Rotation of the lead screw 8 causes the sliding block 6 to move back and forth horizontally, which in turn causes the heating spring 5 to locally heat the inside of the thawing cylinder 2. A food thawing auxiliary component is also provided on the thawing cylinder 2, including a movable component on the inside of the thawing cylinder 2. The ring plate 12 is connected, the fixed plate 13 is provided on the ring plate 12, the worm gear 16 and the extrusion and penetration plate 18 are movably connected on the ring plate 12, and the toothed disc 17 is provided on the extrusion and penetration plate 18. The rotation of the worm gear 16 will drive the toothed disc 17 to move. The movement of the toothed disc 17 will drive multiple extrusion and penetration plates 18 to rotate simultaneously. The rotation of the extrusion and penetration plate 18 will squeeze the food to the outside of the fixed plate 13. The rotation of the toothed disc 17 will drive the food to be inspected to move in a circular motion. The inner side of the thawing cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the bow-shaped plate 19, and the bow-shaped plate 19 is provided with a water flow channel 20.

[0027] The outer side of the defrosting cylinder 2 is provided with a placement hole 3 and a sliding groove 4. A motor 7 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the defrosting cylinder 2. The output shaft end of the motor 7 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 8. The lead screw 8 and the sliding block 6 are threadedly connected. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor 7 will drive the lead screw 8 to rotate.

[0028] The outer side of the sliding block 6 is fixedly connected to the heating spring 5, and the end of the heating spring 5 away from the sliding block 6 is fixedly connected to the defrosting cylinder 2. The sliding block 6 will drive the heating spring 5 to move during the movement.

[0029] In this embodiment, the specific implementation is as follows: before using the device, the motor 7 is started. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor 7 will drive the lead screw 8 to rotate. Because the lead screw 8 and the sliding block 6 are threadedly connected, the rotation of the lead screw 8 will drive the sliding block 6 to move. The sliding block 6 will move along the inner side of the sliding groove 4. During the movement of the sliding block 6, it will drive the heating spring 5 to move. The movement of the sliding block 6 can drive the heating spring 5 to move to one end closer to the motor 7. At this time, the food to be thawed is placed on the outer side of the fixing plate 13 through the placement hole 3. By moving the sliding block 6, the heating spring 5 can be moved, thereby controlling the heating range of the heating spring 5.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, a first servo motor 9 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the defrosting cylinder 2. A rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the first servo motor 9. A plurality of connecting plates 11 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 10. The plurality of connecting plates 11 are evenly distributed in a circle along the rotating shaft 10. The end of the connecting plate 11 away from the rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the annular plate 12. The rotation of the output shaft of the first servo motor 9 will drive the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 10 will drive the connecting plates 11 to rotate.

[0032] Multiple fixing plates 13 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the annular plate 12. The multiple fixing plates 13 are evenly distributed around the annular plate 12, and the food to be tested can be placed on the outer side of the fixing plates 13.

[0033] A connecting block 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the annular plate 12. A second servo motor 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting block 14 away from the annular plate 12. The output shaft end of the second servo motor 15 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 16. The rotation of the output shaft of the second servo motor 15 will drive the worm gear 16 to rotate.

[0034] Multiple extrusion and penetration plates 18 are movably connected to the outer side of the annular plate 12. The multiple extrusion and penetration plates 18 are evenly distributed around the annular plate 12. The end of the multiple extrusion and penetration plates 18 near the second servo motor 15 is fixedly connected to the gear disk 17. The gear disk 17 and the worm gear 16 mesh with each other. During the movement, the extrusion and penetration plates 18 will extrude and fix the food to be thawed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the food to be thawed is further placed on the outside of the fixing plate 13, and the sliding block 6 is adjusted to drive the heating spring 5 to a suitable position. At this time, the second servo motor 15 is started. The second servo motor 15 is connected to the annular plate 12 through the connecting block 14. The rotation of the output shaft of the second servo motor 15 will drive the worm gear 16 to rotate. Because the worm gear 16 and the gear disk 17 are meshed, the rotation of the worm gear 16 will drive the gear disk 17 to rotate. When the gear disk 17 rotates, it will simultaneously drive multiple extrusion and penetration plates 18 to move. The extrusion and penetration plates 18 will move towards one end closer to the fixing plate 13. During the movement, the extrusion and penetration plates 18 will extrude and fix the food to be thawed, so that the food to be thawed can be placed on the outside of the fixing plate 13. The side remains in an unfolded state. As the first servo motor 9 is started, the output shaft of the first servo motor 9 rotates, which drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 10 drives the connecting plate 11 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting plate 11 drives the annular plate 12 to rotate. The rotation of the annular plate 12 drives the fixing plate 13 and the squeezing and penetrating plate 18 to rotate. The rotation of the fixing plate 13 and the squeezing and penetrating plate 18 drives the food to be thawed to rotate. By making the food to be thawed rotate, it can fully absorb the heat emitted by the heating spring 5 during the rotation process, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid thawing. As the annular plate 12 rotates, the water flowing out during thawing will fall onto the upper part of the bow-shaped plate 19 and eventually flow out from the inside of the water tank 20.

[0036] 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.
