Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zongzi (sticky rice dumpling) production technology, specifically to a cooling and transport mechanism for zongzi production. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional methods of cooling zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) involve direct fan blowing, which can remove some heat, but also leads to problems such as disordered heat diffusion, increased factory temperature, and deterioration of the working environment. In addition, the lack of an effective heat recovery structure results in a large amount of heat loss and waste, resulting in low cooling efficiency and high energy consumption.

[0003] Therefore, a cooling and transportation mechanism for zongzi production is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a cooling and transport mechanism for zongzi (sticky rice dumpling) production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A cooling and conveying mechanism for zongzi (sticky rice dumpling) production includes a belt conveyor, a base, and a controller.

[0007] The conveyor belt of the belt conveyor equipment has a hollow structure, with a heat exchange component at the bottom and a blower component at the top;

[0008] The blowing component is used to blow the hot air from the surface of the zongzi downwards to the heat exchange component;

[0009] The heat exchange component is fixed on the support frame and forms an airflow channel with the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor equipment.

[0010] Furthermore, the heat exchange component includes:

[0011] The heat exchange tubes are coiled in a serpentine shape and supported by multiple rollers.

[0012] The support roller is rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the heat exchange tube and contacts and supports the inner side of the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor equipment.

[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the support roller is provided with ventilation holes, and the material is a thermally conductive metal;

[0014] The heat exchange tube is connected to an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe at both ends to form a circulating water circuit.

[0015] Furthermore, the support frame is provided with a first bolt hole, and is fixedly connected to the base by the first bolt;

[0016] The support frame is also provided with a second bolt hole, which is used to limit the connection with the bend of the heat exchange tube by means of the second bolt.

[0017] Furthermore, the blowing component includes a jet frame, a nozzle, and an air pump;

[0018] The jet frame is fixed above the belt conveyor via a connecting plate. The nozzle is positioned facing the surface of the conveyor belt. The output end of the air pump extends into the interior of the jet frame. The jet frame is a long strip structure, and its length direction is the same as the conveying direction of the belt conveyor.

[0019] Furthermore, the surfaces of the heat exchange tube and the support roller are coated with a corrosion-resistant and thermally conductive coating.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] This invention effectively guides the concentrated heat exchange of hot air through the design of a hollowed-out conveyor belt, a jet frame for directional air blowing, and a serpentine heat exchange tube for circulating water, avoiding disorderly diffusion. At the same time, the ventilation holes and thermal conductive coating of the support roller enhance the heat exchange efficiency, enabling the rice dumplings to cool down quickly and recover residual heat, thus improving the working environment and reducing energy consumption.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a cooling and transporting mechanism for zongzi (sticky rice dumpling) production includes a belt conveyor 7, a base 1, and a controller 3. The conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 7 has a hollow structure, with a heat exchange component below and a blower component above. The blower component is used to blow the hot air from the surface of the zongzi downwards to the heat exchange component. The heat exchange component is fixed on a support frame 9 and forms an airflow channel with the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 7. Specifically, in order to improve the heat exchange effect and prevent the hot airflow from spreading to both sides, guide plates can be installed on both sides between the blower component and the belt conveyor 7, or a heat exchange pipe can also be installed in the overflow area. An inclined guide groove is installed below the heat exchange pipe 8 and connected to a condensate collection tank. A liquid level sensor can be installed in the tank to link with a drain pump to prevent water from overflowing.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the heat exchange component includes: a serpentine coiled heat exchange tube 8 and multiple support rollers 10; the support rollers 10 are rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the heat exchange tube 8 and contact and support the inner side of the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor device 7; specifically, the serpentine coiling increases the heat exchange area, and the length of the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor device 7 is set according to the heat dissipation distance, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, the support roller 10 has vent holes on its surface and is made of thermally conductive metal; the two ends of the heat exchange tube 8 are connected to the inlet pipe 11 and the outlet pipe 12 respectively to form a circulating water path; specifically, the vent hole design allows hot air to pass through and contact the heat exchange tube while ensuring airflow; one end of the inlet pipe 11 and the outlet pipe 12 are connected to the municipal water pipe and the collection box respectively, so that heat can be exchanged with the hot air during circulation and the hot water can be stored and collected.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 9 has a first bolt hole, which is fixedly connected to the base 1 by the first bolt; the support frame 9 also has a second bolt hole, which is limited to the bend of the heat exchange tube 8 by the second bolt; specifically, a U-shaped clamp (with shock-absorbing silicone pad) is provided at the bend of the heat exchange tube to prevent water flow impact from causing the tube to vibrate, and it can be fixed on the support frame 9 under the action of the second bolt.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the blowing component includes a jet frame 4, a nozzle 5, and an air pump 6. The jet frame 4 is fixed above the belt conveyor 7 via a connecting plate 2. The nozzle 5 is positioned facing the surface of the conveyor belt. The output end of the air pump 6 extends into the interior of the jet frame 4. The jet frame 4 is a long strip structure, and its length direction is the same as the conveying direction of the belt conveyor 7. Specifically, the air pump 6 can blow gas into the interior of the jet frame 4 and then spray it outward at the nozzle 5, evenly spraying it onto the surface of the zongzi during transportation.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the surfaces of the heat exchange tube 8 and the support roller 10 are coated with a corrosion-resistant and thermally conductive coating; specifically, the thermally conductive coating can improve the heat exchange efficiency between water and hot air inside the heat exchange tube 8.

[0037] In summary: The perforated conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 7 transports zongzi under the rotational support of the support roller 10. The air pump 6 blows air downward through the air jet frame 4 and the nozzle 5, so that the hot air on the surface of the zongzi enters the airflow channel through the perforated holes of the conveyor belt. The hot air exchanges heat with the serpentine heat exchange tube 8 through the vent holes of the support roller 10. The cooling water circulates and carries away the heat, ultimately achieving efficient cooling and transportation of the zongzi.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
