Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hot pot base preparation technology, specifically a rapid heating device for beef tallow in hot pot base preparation. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of society, people's demands for quality of life are constantly increasing, and their pursuit of various delicacies is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Among these, animal fats, with their pure white color, lack of gamey odor, and rich content of various fatty acids, are widely used in the food industry. However, butter easily solidifies at room temperature, especially in low-temperature environments, where it typically remains solid and is difficult to mix evenly. Therefore, during processing, to ensure smooth and uniform addition of butter, the butter in the storage tank needs to be heated to melt the solidified butter into a more fluid liquid state.
[0003] As disclosed in CN219602163U, a tallow storage tank that is easy to heat includes a tank body with a jacket inside. A heating pipe is installed within the jacket. A heating plate is slidably mounted at the bottom of the tank body, and a heating element is installed within the heating plate. The sliding direction of the heating plate is parallel to the axis of the tank body. When solid tallow melts, the heating plate slides to ensure it remains in contact with the solid tallow. The tallow is heated and melted through the heating pipe and the heating plate. As heating progresses, the tallow continuously melts, and the heating plate slides into the solid tallow for further heating. The beneficial effects of this invention are: during the process, the heating plate remains in direct contact with the solid tallow, reducing the heat transfer process within the liquid tallow; and the heating plate and the heat-absorbing pipe simultaneously heat and melt the tallow from both the inside and outside, thereby improving the melting efficiency of the tallow.
[0004] Although the aforementioned patent ensures that the heating plate is always in direct contact with solid butter, the integrated battery and heating wire inside the heating plate can lead to excessively high operating temperatures, which may cause thermal runaway of the lithium battery. Furthermore, during long-term use, high temperatures can accelerate the aging of the sealant, potentially causing liquid butter to seep into the heating plate and cause a short circuit.

[0008] The storage tank is equipped with a heating mechanism at its bottom.
[0009] A pipe is provided on the outside of one side of the storage tank, and the pipe is connected to a rotating spray mechanism located at the upper part of the inside of the storage tank. The bottom end of the pipe is connected to the lower part of the inside of the storage tank.

At the same time, the separate structure facilitates individual maintenance and replacement, significantly improving the safety and service life of the device.
[0018] 2. This rapid heating device for beef tallow in hot pot base preparation utilizes the combined effect of bottom conduction heating and rotary spray heating.

This significantly improves the melting efficiency and heating uniformity of the beef tallow, solving the problems of uneven temperature and slow melting speed that exist in traditional single heating methods.

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] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0026] A rapid heating device for beef tallow used in making hot pot base includes a storage tank 1 with a heating mechanism at its bottom. The heating mechanism includes a bottom shell 11 fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage tank 1 and an electric heating plate 12 disposed inside the bottom shell 11. The upper end face of the electric heating plate 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the storage tank 1. An oil inlet pipe 16 and an oil outlet pipe 17 are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the right side of the storage tank 1. A solid-liquid separation mechanism is horizontally arranged inside the lower part of the storage tank 1. The solid-liquid separation mechanism includes a heat-conducting tray 13 fixedly connected to the lower part of the storage tank 1 and leakage holes 14 regularly arranged on the heat-conducting tray 13. One end of the pipe 2 is located inside the storage tank 1 and below the heat-conducting tray 13. The heat-conducting tray 13 is made of ceramic.
[0027] In this embodiment, the separate design of the heat-conducting tray 13 and the electric heating plate 12 achieves physical isolation between the heating mechanism and the butter storage space, effectively avoiding the risk of liquid butter seeping into the heating element and solving the short circuit hazard caused by the aging of the sealant in the prior art. At the same time, the separate structure facilitates individual maintenance and replacement, significantly improving the safety and service life of the device.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a pipe 2 is provided on the outside of one side of the storage tank 1. The pipe 2 is connected to a rotary spray mechanism located at the upper part of the storage tank 1. The rotary spray mechanism is fixedly installed on the oil pump 3 at the middle of the top of the storage tank 1, and a vertical pipe 4 connected to the output end of the oil pump 3. The bottom end of the vertical pipe 4 is rotatably connected to a three-way connector 5 through a rotary joint 15. The other two ends of the three-way connector 5 away from the vertical pipe 4 are respectively connected to horizontal pipes 6. Several oil nozzles 7 are arranged side by side at the bottom end of the horizontal pipe 6. The upper end of the pipe 2 is connected to the input end of the oil pump 3. A liquid level sensor 18 is fixedly installed on the front of the bottom end of the storage tank 1. The rotary spray mechanism also includes a motor 8 fixedly installed on the right side of the middle of the top of the storage tank 1, and a large gear 9 fixedly installed on the output shaft end of the motor 8. A small gear 10 that meshes with the large gear 9 is fixedly installed on the upper outside of the vertical pipe 4. The bottom end of the pipe 2 is connected to the lower inside of the storage tank 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, through the synergistic effect of bottom conduction heating and rotary spray heating, the heat-conducting tray 13 uniformly conducts heat to melt the bottom solid butter. At the same time, the preheated liquid butter is dynamically sprayed onto the surface of the upper solid butter through the rotary spray mechanism, forming a two-way heat transfer, which greatly improves the melting efficiency and heating uniformity of the butter, and solves the problems of uneven temperature and slow melting speed in traditional single heating methods.
[0030] Working principle: Liquid butter is injected into the storage tank 1 through the inlet pipe 16, forming a butter storage cavity between the heat-conducting tray 13 and the bottom of the storage tank 1. After cooling, it solidifies into a solid butter block. During use, the electric heating plate 12 is energized and heated. The heat is conducted upward through the heat-conducting tray 13, causing the bottom layer of solid butter in contact with it to begin to melt and form an initial liquid butter layer. When the liquid level sensor 18 detects that the liquid butter has reached the predetermined level, the oil pump 3 starts and draws the liquid butter through the pipe 2. It is then transported to the rotary spray mechanism through the vertical pipe 4. The liquid butter enters the three-way connector 5 through the rotary joint 15 and is then split into two horizontal pipes 6, finally exiting from the spray nozzle. The nozzle 7 sprays out at high speed, and the motor 8 drives the large gear 9 to rotate the small gear 10, causing the entire spraying mechanism to rotate around the axis of the vertical pipe 4. The preheated liquid butter is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the upper solid butter. The hot oil sprayed into contact with the solid butter accelerates the heat conduction process. The heat-conducting tray 13 continuously conducts heat from the bottom to the solid butter, forming a dual heating mode of bottom conduction heating and upper spray heating. With continuous heating and spraying, the solid butter layer gradually melts to produce new liquid butter. When the liquid butter reaches the working level again, the oil pump 3 continues to pump and circulate for heating. The completely liquefied butter can be discharged and used through the oil outlet pipe 17.
