Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dry curing technology for surimi products, and in particular to a temperature control device for dry curing surimi products. Background Technology

[0002] The temperature control device for dry curing of surimi products is a specialized device for temperature regulation and air drying of surimi foods during the dry curing process (i.e., curing with little or no water). By setting and controlling the temperature environment, the device ensures that the surimi is always in a suitable hot / cold air flow environment during curing, thereby improving curing uniformity, flavor penetration efficiency, and the microbial safety level of the product.

[0003] While existing temperature control devices for dry curing of surimi products can regulate temperature, the lack of internal surimi rotation function results in uneven heating or cooling of the surimi near the edges during curing. This leads to insufficient curing or temperature deviation in some areas, indirectly prolonging the working time of the refrigeration and heating units and reducing energy efficiency and curing efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the problem that the existing fish paste drying and curing temperature control devices have temperature control functions, but lack a fish paste rotation mechanism, they are prone to uneven heating and cooling, which affects the uniformity of curing, prolongs the equipment running time, and reduces energy efficiency and processing efficiency, there is an urgent need to design a new type of fish paste product drying and curing temperature control device. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the problem that existing fish paste drying and curing temperature control devices, although they have temperature control functions, lack a fish paste rotation mechanism, which easily leads to uneven heating and cooling, affects the uniformity of curing, prolongs equipment operation time, and reduces energy efficiency and processing efficiency.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a temperature control device for the dry curing of surimi products, comprising a cabinet and positioning frames installed on the left and right sides inside the cabinet. The positioning frames are U-shaped, and several ball bearings are arranged on the upper and lower sides inside the positioning frames. Positioning wheels are rotatably connected inside the positioning frames. A guide plate is arranged between the two positioning frames, and the guide plate is movably connected to the positioning wheels. A turntable is connected inside the guide plate. The turntable has multiple hollow grooves inside, multiple hanging grooves on the top of the turntable, hooks connected to the top of the turntable, and a connecting rod connected to the bottom of the turntable. A wire mesh frame is connected to the bottom of the rod. A motor is connected to the rear of the cabinet. A drive wheel is connected to the output of the motor. The drive wheel is rotatably connected to the cabinet. A cabinet door is rotatably connected to the front of the cabinet. A fixed block is connected to the side of the cabinet door near the cabinet. An auxiliary wheel is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed block. The auxiliary wheel is movably connected to the guide plate. The drive wheel is movably connected to the guide plate. The motor drives the drive wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the guide plate to rotate. Through the rotation of the ball bearings, positioning wheels, and auxiliary wheel, the guide plate drives the turntable to rotate. The rotation of the turntable drives the connecting rod to rotate the wire mesh frame.

[0007] Preferably, by setting a guide plate and a drive wheel, the fish paste is automatically rotated during the dry-curing process. In use, the fish paste is first spread flat on the mesh frame, and then the guide plate is inserted into the positioning frame. With the help of the ball bearing structure, it slides smoothly into the cabinet, so that the guide plate is accurately aligned with the positioning wheel. After the cabinet door is closed, the auxiliary wheel on the fixing block further presses the guide plate to ensure a stable connection. Then, the motor is started, and the motor drives the drive wheel to rotate, thereby driving the guide plate to rotate. In turn, the mesh frame is rotated synchronously through the connecting rod, so that the fish paste is continuously and evenly heated or cooled throughout the dry-curing process. At the same time, the hanging trough structure supports the simultaneous hanging of other dry-cured products, realizing multi-category collaborative processing, enhancing the space utilization and application flexibility of the device, and improving the overall quality and production efficiency of the dry-curing process. This structural design not only greatly improves the uniformity of curing, shortens the processing time, and improves the temperature control efficiency, but also significantly reduces energy consumption and improves the energy efficiency ratio of the equipment.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the cabinet is connected to a base, the upper inside of the cabinet is connected to a connecting frame, the inside of the connecting frame is connected to rotating columns at equal intervals, and the outer end of the rotating columns is connected to a spoiler.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the cabinet is connected to four fans, and an air outlet is opened on the lower rear side of the cabinet.

[0010] Preferably, the front end of the cabinet door is connected to a handle, and the end of the cabinet door away from the cabinet body is connected to a lock block.

[0011] Preferably, the right end of the cabinet is connected to a latch, and the latch and the locking block match each other.

[0012] Preferably, a controller is connected to the front end of the cabinet door, a heating unit is installed on the top of the front fan, a cooling unit is installed on the top of the rear fan, and a temperature sensor is connected to the rear interior of the cabinet. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the cooling unit and the heating unit.

[0013] Preferably, the controller is electrically connected to the motor, fan, heating unit, cooling unit and temperature sensor, and the fan introduces airflow so that it passes through the heating unit or cooling unit, passes through the mesh frame and is discharged from the air outlet.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By setting up a guide plate and drive wheels, the fish paste is automatically rotated during the dry curing process. In use, the fish paste is first spread flat on the mesh frame, and then the guide plate is inserted into the positioning frame. With the help of the ball bearing structure, it is guided to slide smoothly into the cabinet, so that the guide plate is precisely aligned with the positioning wheel. After the cabinet door is closed, the auxiliary wheel on the fixed block further presses the guide plate to ensure its smooth operation during rotation. After the motor is started, the motor drives the drive wheel to rotate, thereby driving the guide plate to rotate, and then drives the mesh frame to rotate synchronously through the connecting rod. This keeps the fish paste in a dynamic state during the dry curing process, achieving all-round uniform heating or cooling, fundamentally solving the problems of uneven heating and insufficient curing in some areas in traditional equipment.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment: a temperature control device for the dry curing of surimi products, including a cabinet 1 and positioning frames 21 installed on the left and right sides inside the cabinet 1. The positioning frames 21 are U-shaped, and several ball bearings 22 are arranged on the upper and lower sides inside the positioning frames 21. Positioning wheels 23 are rotatably connected inside the positioning frames 21. A guide plate 24 is arranged between two positioning frames 21, and the guide plate 24 is movably connected to the positioning wheels 23. A turntable 25 is connected inside the guide plate 24. The turntable 25 has multiple hollow grooves 26 inside, and multiple hanging grooves 27 are opened on the top of the turntable 25. A hook 2 is connected to the top of the turntable 25. 8. A connecting rod 29 is connected to the bottom of the turntable 25, and a wire frame 210 is connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 29. A motor 211 is connected to the rear side of the interior of the cabinet 1. A drive wheel 212 is connected to the output end of the motor 211. The drive wheel 212 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 1. A cabinet door 213 is rotatably connected to the front end of the cabinet 1. A fixing block 214 is connected to the side of the cabinet door 213 near the cabinet 1. An auxiliary wheel 215 is rotatably connected to the top of the fixing block 214. The auxiliary wheel 215 is movably connected to the guide plate 24. The drive wheel 212 is movably connected to the guide plate 24. The motor 211 drives the drive wheel 212 to rotate, thereby driving the guide plate 24. The rotation of the guide plate 24, driven by the ball bearings 22, positioning wheel 23, and auxiliary wheel 215, drives the turntable 25 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 25 drives the connecting rod 29 to rotate the mesh frame 210. By setting the guide plate 24 and the drive wheel 212, the fish paste is automatically rotated during the drying and marinating process. In use, the fish paste is first spread flat on the mesh frame 210, and then the guide plate 24 is inserted into the positioning frame 21. With the help of the ball bearings 22, it slides smoothly into the cabinet 1, so that the guide plate 24 is accurately aligned with the positioning wheel 23. After the cabinet door 213 is closed, the auxiliary wheel 215 on the fixing block 214 further presses the guide plate 24. To ensure a stable connection, motor 211 is then started. Motor 211 drives drive wheel 212 to rotate, which in turn drives guide plate 24 to rotate. This, in turn, drives mesh frame 210 to rotate synchronously via connecting rod 29, ensuring that the fish paste is continuously and evenly heated or cooled throughout the drying and marinating process. At the same time, the hanging trough 27 structure supports the simultaneous hanging of other dried and marinated products, enabling multi-category collaborative processing, enhancing the space utilization and application flexibility of the device, and improving the overall quality and production efficiency of the drying and marinating process. This structural design not only significantly improves the uniformity of marinating, shortens processing time, and improves temperature control efficiency, but also significantly reduces energy consumption and improves the energy efficiency ratio of the equipment.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment, a base 31 is connected to the bottom of the cabinet 1, a connecting frame 32 is connected to the upper inside of the cabinet 1, and rotating columns 33 are rotatably connected at equal intervals inside the connecting frame 32. The rotating columns 33 and the connecting frame 32 are connected by damping rotation. A baffle 34 is connected to the outer end of the rotating column 33. Four fans 35 are connected to the top of the cabinet 1. An air outlet 36 is opened on the lower rear side of the cabinet 1. A handle 37 is connected to the front end of the cabinet door 213. A locking block 38 is connected to the end of the cabinet door 213 away from the cabinet 1. The base 31 provides support to improve overall stability. The rotating columns 33 and baffle 34 inside the connecting frame 32 help to generate heat or cold air, improve the internal air disturbance efficiency, prevent airflow short circuit, and further improve the uniformity of temperature control. Multiple fans 35 at the top increase the airflow circulation speed inside the cavity. The air outlet 36 effectively discharges hot / cold air. The handle 37 and locking block 38 work together to facilitate the user to open and close the cabinet door 213 and ensure operational safety.

[0025] Please see Figures 2-5 In this embodiment, a latch 39 is connected to the right end of the cabinet 1, and a locking block 38 matches the latch 39. A controller 310 is connected to the front end of the cabinet door 213. A heating unit 311 is installed on the top of the front fan 35, and a cooling unit 312 is installed on the top of the rear fan 35. A temperature sensor 313 is connected to the rear interior of the cabinet 1. The temperature sensor 313 is electrically connected to the cooling unit 312 and the heating unit 311. The controller 310 is electrically connected to the motor 211, the fan 35, the heating unit 311, the cooling unit 312, and the temperature sensor 313. The fan 35 introduces airflow so that it passes through the heating unit 311 or the cooling unit 312. The mesh frame 210 is discharged from the air outlet 36. The locking block 38 and the latch 39 securely close the cabinet door 213. The controller 310, as the core control unit, provides unified and coordinated control of the temperature control equipment, fan 35, and motor 211. The heating unit 311 and the cooling unit 312 are distributed above different fans 35, which facilitates the switching of hot / cold air sources as needed. The temperature sensor 313 monitors the cavity temperature in real time and feeds it back to the controller 310 to achieve precise temperature control. The airflow forms a complete temperature control cycle path from air intake, heating / cooling, flowing through the fish paste and mesh frame 210 to final discharge, ensuring that the fish paste is heated / cooled evenly and improving the quality and efficiency of pickling.

[0026] During operation, the surimi product is first laid flat on the mesh frame 210. Then, the guide plate 24 is inserted into the positioning frame 21 inside the cabinet 1. During insertion, the guide plate 24 is smoothly slid in by means of the ball bearings 22 on the upper and lower sides inside the positioning frame 21, allowing the guide plate 24 to smoothly engage with the positioning wheel 23 and the drive wheel 212. Subsequently, the cabinet door 213 is closed. The fixing block 214 connected to the cabinet door 213 presses the guide plate 24 with the auxiliary wheel 215 at the top, thereby ensuring the stable engagement of the guide plate 24 with the positioning structure and preventing deviation during operation. After the power is turned on, the motor 211 is started by the controller 310. Its output end drives the drive wheel 212 to rotate. The drive wheel 212 effectively transmits power to the guide plate 24, causing the guide plate 24 to rotate. The rotation of the guide plate 24 further drives the turntable 25 to rotate. The turntable 25 transmits power to the mesh frame 210 through the connecting rod 29 connected to the bottom, enabling the mesh frame 210 to carry... The fish paste rotates slowly and evenly within the cavity. Multiple hanging slots 27 and hooks 28 on the top of the turntable 25 can also hang other dried and cured products, supporting simultaneous processing of multiple categories. In terms of temperature control, four fans 35 are installed on the top of the cabinet 1. A heating unit 311 is located above the front fan 35, and a cooling unit 312 is located above the rear fan 35. The fans 35 draw in air and guide it to flow sequentially through the heating unit 311 or the cooling unit 312, forming hot and cold airflows that enter the cavity. The airflow passes through the rotating mesh frame 210, ensuring that the fish paste is continuously and evenly blown by hot or cold air during the tumbling process. After being dispersed by the baffle 34, it is discharged from the air outlet 36 at the lower rear end of the cabinet 1, forming a closed loop. Multiple hollow slots 26 on the turntable 25 further enhance airflow penetration and improve drying and curing efficiency. To further optimize temperature control accuracy, a temperature sensor 313 is installed on the rear side inside the cabinet 1, which can monitor the cavity temperature in real time and feed the data back to the controller 310. The controller 310 serves as the central control unit of the entire machine, responsible for regulating the operating status of components such as the motor 211, fan 35, heating unit 311, and cooling unit 312 to achieve automatic temperature control. The controller 310 is located at the front of the cabinet door 213 for easy user operation. Meanwhile, a base 31 is provided at the bottom of the cabinet 1 for stable support. The cabinet door 213 is closed by locking block 38 and latch 39 on the right side of the cabinet 1, improving safety. The rotating column 33 in the connecting frame 32 is connected to the spoiler 34 through damped rotation. The tilt angle of the spoiler 34 can be adjusted as needed. The tilted spoiler 34 can effectively disrupt the straight airflow path, enhance the air turbulence effect, and further improve the uniformity of temperature distribution within the cavity.

[0027] Through the above steps, the fish paste automatically rotates during the dry curing process through the coordinated action of the guide plate 24 and the drive wheel 212. During operation, the fish paste is first evenly spread on the mesh frame 210, and then the guide plate 24 is inserted into the positioning frame 21. With the help of the ball bearing 22, it is guided smoothly into the cabinet 1 and ensured to be precisely fitted with the positioning wheel 23. After the cabinet door 213 is closed, the auxiliary wheel 215 on the fixing block 214 fits with the guide plate 24 to improve the operational stability of the structure. Then, the motor 211 is started to drive the drive wheel 212 to rotate, which in turn drives the guide plate 24 to rotate. The mesh frame 210 is driven to rotate synchronously through the connecting rod 29, so that the fish paste is kept in a uniform state of heating or cooling throughout the curing process. This solves the problem that although the existing fish paste dry curing temperature control device has temperature control function, it lacks a fish paste rotation mechanism, which easily leads to uneven heating and cooling, affects the curing uniformity, prolongs the equipment running time, and reduces energy efficiency and processing efficiency.
