Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of chicken cartilage thawing, and in particular to a microwave rapid thawing device for chicken cartilage. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken cartilage is frozen when it is taken out of the cold storage. It needs to be thawed through the thawing production line before it can be seasoned and fried.

[0003] Thawing chicken cartilage requires manual removal of the frozen cartilage from the packaging bag and placement on the conveyor belt of the thawing production line. The conveyor belt then transports the cartilage into a microwave channel, where it is thawed by microwave heating. Because the frozen chicken cartilage is in a clump-like state before thawing, devices such as pressure rollers are used to spread out some of the thawed cartilage, thereby improving the thawing efficiency of the cartilage at the bottom.

[0004] However, during this process, due to the brittle texture of chicken cartilage, the pressure rollers can easily break some of the cartilage, leading to a decrease in product quality. Furthermore, the downward pressure of the rollers can also cause a large amount of chicken cartilage to be compacted, making it impossible to separate and evenly spread the thawed cartilage; therefore, the thawing efficiency needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model application is to improve the problem that chicken cartilage is prone to breakage and has low thawing efficiency during the thawing process. This application provides a microwave rapid thawing device for chicken cartilage.

[0006] The microwave rapid defrosting device for chicken cartilage provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A microwave rapid defrosting device for chicken cartilage, including

[0008] The lower pressure plate slides vertically within the microwave channel, with a conveyor belt below it.

[0009] The dispersion racks are arranged in pairs and rotatably connected to the bottom of the lower pressure plate. The bottom of the dispersion racks is made of a material that can elastically deform. A torsion spring is installed at the rotation axis of the dispersion racks, so that the dispersion racks are tilted in a direction away from each other. After the dispersion racks come into contact with the object, they will rotate in a direction closer to the lower pressure plate.

[0010] The drive component, located within the microwave channel, is used to drive the lower pressure plate to move up and down repeatedly.

[0011] Optionally, multiple sets of distribution racks on a single pressure plate can be arranged side by side.

[0012] Optionally, the dispersing rack includes a frame and a soft plate. The dispersing rack is a frame structure that is rotatably connected to the lower pressure plate. The soft plate is made of rubber and is fixedly sleeved on the bottom of the frame for contact with the chicken cartilage.

[0013] Optionally, the frame is also equipped with rubber baffles, which are tilted downwards.

[0014] Optionally, the distribution frame includes a main board and a rubber sleeve. The main board is rotatably connected to the lower pressure plate, and the rubber sleeve is fixedly fitted on the main board. There is no main board at the bottom for support.

[0015] Optionally, the bottom of the rubber sleeve is fixed with multiple downward-sloping soft tongues.

[0016] Optionally, multiple sets of pressure plates are provided within the microwave channel, with the groups of pressure plates being closer together the closer they are to the microwave channel outlet.

[0017] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a drive rod, a drive wheel, and a first tension spring;

[0018] The drive rod is horizontally mounted inside the microwave channel and is driven to rotate by a motor. It is located above the lower pressure plate.

[0019] The drive wheel is a cam, fixed on the drive rod, and positioned opposite the lower pressure plate;

[0020] One end of the first tension spring is fixed to the upper surface of the lower pressure plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top wall inside the microwave channel, so that the lower pressure plate and the cam are pressed together.

[0021] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a push rod, an arc block, a trigger frame, and a second tension spring;

[0022] The push rod is horizontally slidable within the microwave channel, with its sliding direction parallel to the movement direction of the conveyor belt below. It is driven by a telescopic cylinder to slide repeatedly.

[0023] The arc block is fixed at the bottom of the push rod, located directly above the lower pressure plate;

[0024] The trigger frame is fixed directly above the lower pressure plate, and a roller is rotatably connected to the top.

[0025] One end of the second tension spring is fixed to the upper surface of the lower pressure plate, and the other end is fixed to the top wall inside the microwave channel, so that the rollers are pressed together.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] During the downward movement of the pressure plate, the dispersing rack comes into contact with the chicken cartilage that is being preliminarily thawed below, and under pressure, the two dispersing racks in the same group rotate in a direction away from each other, thereby creating the effect of pushing the chicken cartilage away from each other, thus spreading out the stacked chicken cartilage. The efficiency of microwave thawing of chicken cartilage is improved by the repeated up and down movement of multiple pressure plates.

[0028] The dispersing frame is made of a material with elastic deformation capability. Therefore, when it comes into contact with chicken cartilage, if the chicken cartilage in that part has not dissolved, it will push the dispersing frame upward or cause the dispersing frame to undergo local elastic deformation, thereby improving the protection effect on the chicken cartilage.

[0029] The structure of the dispersing rack can improve the protection of chicken cartilage through the rubber material. The soft tongue and rubber paddles can also contact the chicken cartilage below during the rotation of the dispersing rack, thereby improving the effect of spreading the chicken cartilage below.

[0030] Since the chicken cartilage is thawed more thoroughly closer to the outlet, the distribution of the pressure plates is matched with the degree of thawing of the chicken cartilage to further improve the flatness of the chicken cartilage and increase the efficiency of microwave thawing.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-9 This application will be described in further detail.

[0042] This application discloses a microwave rapid defrosting device for chicken cartilage.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The microwave rapid defrosting device for chicken cartilage includes a lower pressure plate 1, a dispersing rack 2, and a drive assembly 3. Multiple lower pressure plates 1 are horizontally positioned and vertically slidably connected within the microwave channel.

[0045] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sliding groove of the lower pressure plate 1 abuts against both ends of the lower pressure plate 1, restricting its rotation. Below the lower pressure plate 1 is a conveyor belt for conveying chicken cartilage. Two dispersing racks 2 are rotatably connected within the microwave channel, used to push the contacted chicken cartilage to both sides. The drive assembly 3 is installed within the microwave channel, located above the lower pressure plate 1, used to drive the lower pressure plate 1 to move up and down repeatedly, and to ensure that the dispersing racks 2 come into contact with the frozen chicken cartilage. Multiple sets of lower pressure plates 1 are arranged within the microwave channel; the closer to the microwave channel outlet, the closer the distance between sets of lower pressure plates 1.

[0046] Frozen chicken cartilage is placed on a conveyor belt in a thawing device, which moves the cartilage into a microwave channel. Inside the microwave channel, the cartilage is thawed by microwave heating. Because the cartilage is clumped together during freezing, the inner and bottom cartilage cannot thaw fully. As the cartilage moves, the downward movement of the lower pressure plate 1 causes the dispersing rack 2 to contact the thawed surface cartilage, pushing the surface cartilage to the sides and exposing the cartilage underneath. This repeated pushing action during the cartilage's movement evens out the cartilage, improving the thawing efficiency of the inner and bottom cartilage. The distribution of the lower pressure plate 1 ensures that the pushing action begins only after the surface cartilage has thawed, resulting in a more efficient distribution.

[0047] refer to Figure 3Each of the two dispersing racks 2 in a set is equipped with a torsion spring at its rotation axis, causing the dispersing rack 2 to be tilted downwards, with the two dispersing racks 2 in opposite directions of tilt. A horizontal line equidistant from the rotation axes of the two dispersing racks 2 is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the conveyor belt. The dispersing rack 2 includes a frame body 2a1, which is rotatably connected to the lower pressure plate 1. The bottom of the frame body 2a1 is made of an elastically deformable material, which can be plastic or metal; in this embodiment, it is carbon steel. The bottom of the frame body 2a1 has an upward bulge in the middle and is bent upwards. This elastic frame body 2a1 effectively pushes the contacted chicken cartilage to both sides. The bending at the bottom of the frame body 2a1 effectively increases the contact area with the chicken cartilage, improving the pushing effect. The choice of elastic material for the frame body 2a1 effectively improves the protection of the chicken cartilage and reduces the probability of crushing it.

[0048] refer to Figure 3 The drive assembly 3 consists of multiple vertically arranged telescopic cylinders that drive the lower pressure plate 1 to move up and down repeatedly within the microwave channel. In this embodiment, the drive assembly 3 includes a drive rod 3a1, drive wheels 3a2, and a first tension spring 3a3. The drive rod 3a1 is horizontally mounted within the microwave channel, with its axis of rotation parallel to the direction of travel of the conveyor belt. The drive rod 3a1 is located above the lower pressure plate 1 and is driven to rotate by a motor. The number of drive wheels 3a2 is the same as the number of lower pressure plates 1, and they are fixed on the drive rod 3a1, positioned opposite the lower pressure plate 1. The drive wheels 3a2 are cams. One end of the first tension spring 3a3 is fixed to the upper surface of the lower pressure plate 1, and the other end is fixed to the top wall within the microwave channel, pulling the lower pressure plate 1 towards the cam. The rotation of the cam allows the dispersing rack 2 to contact the chicken cartilage below, causing the dispersing rack 2 to rotate.

[0049] Drive rod 3a1 rotates in one direction under the action of motor, which in turn drives the lower pressure plate 1 to move up and down continuously through drive wheel 3a2, thereby driving multiple lower pressure plates 1 to move up and down repeatedly, improving the efficiency of driving the lower pressure plates 1.

[0050] The implementation principle of Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: During the movement of the frozen chicken cartilage within the microwave channel, it continuously thaws under the action of microwaves. After the top layer of chicken cartilage thaws, the lower pressure plate 1 moves downwards, contacting the chicken cartilage through the frame 2a1. Under pressure, the frame 2a1 rotates to both sides, thereby pushing the contacted chicken cartilage to the sides and exposing the lower layer, thus improving the thawing efficiency of the middle and bottom layers. After repeated thawing and pushing, the chicken cartilage is laid out flat, achieving rapid thawing.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] refer to Figure 4The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that: multiple sets of dispersion racks 2 are distributed on a lower pressure plate 1, and the multiple sets of dispersion racks 2 are arranged side by side at equal intervals.

[0053] The implementation principle of Embodiment 2 of this application differs from that of Embodiment 1 in that: through multiple sets of dispersing racks 2 on the lower pressure plate 1, the degree and position of the thawing of the chicken cartilage below can be adapted and adjusted. That is, different sets of dispersing racks 2 can rotate at different angles through contact with the chicken cartilage, thereby improving the protection effect on the chicken cartilage.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 2 is that the dispersing rack 2 also includes a soft plate 2a2, which is made of rubber and is fixedly sleeved on the bottom of the rack body 2a1 for contact with the chicken cartilage. The rack body 2a1 is also equipped with a rubber paddle plate 2a11, which is located on the bottom surface of the rack body 2a1, tilted downwards, and its length increases as it gets closer to the lower pressure plate 1.

[0056] The implementation principle of Embodiment 3 of this application differs from that of Embodiment 2 in that the soft plate 2a2 can further improve the protection effect on the chicken cartilage and can also improve the efficiency of separating the chicken cartilage by increasing friction. The rubber pry plate 2a11 can improve the effect of separating the chicken cartilage below when the rotation angle of the dispersing frame 2 increases.

[0057] Example 4

[0058] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In Embodiment 3, the dispersing frame 2 is still composed of multiple sets, but differs from Embodiment 2 in that the dispersing frame 2 includes a main board 2b1 and a rubber sleeve 2b2. The main board 2b1 is rotatably connected to the lower pressure plate 1. The main board 2b1 can be made of metal or plastic; in this embodiment, it is made of plastic. The rubber sleeve 2b2 is fixedly fitted onto the main board 2b1, but the bottom of the rubber sleeve 2b2 is not supported by the main board 2b1. Multiple soft tongues 2b21 with detailed and inclined arrangements are fixed to the bottom of the rubber sleeve 2b2. The soft tongues 2b21 are made of the same material as the rubber sleeve 2b2 and are integrally formed. The soft tongues 2b21 become longer the closer they are to the lower pressure plate 1.

[0059] The implementation principle of Embodiment 4 of this application differs from that of Embodiment 2 in that the structure of the dispersing frame 2 is changed. The main board 2b1 supports the rubber sleeve 2b2, and the rubber sleeve 2b2 moves the chicken cartilage that it contacts below. The soft tongue 2b21 can effectively improve the contact and movement effect on the chicken cartilage below when the rotation angle of the dispersing frame 2 increases.

[0060] Example 5

[0061] refer to Figure 9 The difference between Embodiment 5 and Embodiment 2 is that the drive assembly 3 includes a push rod 3b1, an arc block 3b2, a trigger frame 3b3, and a second tension spring 3b4. The push rod 3b1 is horizontally slidably mounted within the microwave channel, with its sliding direction parallel to the movement direction of the conveyor belt below. It is driven repeatedly by a telescopic cylinder mounted within the microwave channel. The arc block 3b2 is fixed to the bottom of the push rod 3b1, located directly above the lower pressure plate 1. The trigger frame 3b3 is fixed directly above the lower pressure plate 1, with a roller 3b31 rotatably connected to its top. One end of the second tension spring 3b4 is fixed to the upper surface of the lower pressure plate 1, and the other end is fixed to the top wall within the microwave channel, causing the rollers 3b31 to abut against each other.

[0062] The implementation principle of Embodiment 5 of this application differs from that of Embodiment 2 in that: the telescopic cylinder drives the push rod 3b1 to slide repeatedly, and the multiple lower pressure plates 1 move up and down repeatedly by the different contact positions between the roller 3b31 and the arc block 3b2.

[0063] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
