Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bread processing technology, and in particular to a bread cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] A bread cooling rack is a device specifically designed for cooling bread, based on the physical properties of airflow and heat dissipation. Structurally, it typically consists of multiple layers of metal or plastic mesh with moderate spacing, providing support to prevent deformation while ensuring ample air contact with the bread surface for accelerated cooling. From a usage perspective, bread cooling racks solve problems such as bread deformation due to high temperature and humidity after baking, and condensation and softening at the bottom, making them particularly suitable for bakeries and home kitchens. Their multi-layered design significantly improves space utilization, allowing for the simultaneous cooling of multiple loaves of bread or pastries, meeting the needs of mass production. Material selection prioritizes food-grade safety standards, ensuring easy cleaning and high-temperature resistance; some models also incorporate rust-resistant properties. Optimized edge treatment prevents scratching the bread crust, while the lightweight structure facilitates movement and storage.

[0003] The existing bread cooling rack has a frame structure with several support plates evenly spaced on both sides. The tray containing bread can be supported by the support plates on both sides. However, because the existing cooling rack has a fixed structure, if the rack is designed to be very high, it is difficult to pick up or put away the tray on top. If the rack is designed to be shorter, the space cannot be fully utilized, which has certain limitations. Secondly, the cooling rack relies on natural heat dissipation during use, resulting in poor cooling effect. Therefore, further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a bread cooling device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a bread cooling device, comprising a base, side covers fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the base, the adjacent sides of the two side covers being open, an opening being provided on the top wall of the base below the side covers, lifting components being installed inside the two side covers and the base, multiple trays being horizontally placed between the two lifting components, a top plate being fixed to the top of the two side covers, a fan being fixed in the middle of the top plate, a side shell being fixed to the outer wall of the base, a drive component for driving the two lifting components to rotate being installed inside the side shell, and a controller being provided on the upper surface of the base.

[0006] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a drive shaft located inside the base and a driven shaft located on the top of the side cover. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the side wall of the base via a bearing, and a drive sprocket is fixed on the surface of the drive shaft. The driven shaft is rotatably connected to the side wall of the side cover via a bearing, and a driven sprocket is fixed on the surface of the driven shaft. A mesh chain is sleeved on the surface of the driven sprocket and the drive sprocket. Several support plates are fixed at equal intervals on the surface of the mesh chain.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a dual-axis motor fixed inside the side housing, and drive shafts are fixed to both output ends of the dual-axis motor. A worm is fixed to the other end of the drive shaft. The drive shafts of the two lifting assemblies extend into the side housing, and a worm wheel is fixed to one end of the drive shaft inside the side housing. The two worms mesh with the two worm wheels respectively, and the threads on the surfaces of the two worms are opposite.

[0008] Furthermore, side plates are fixed on both sides of the tray, and the side plates have strip grooves on their sides. The strip grooves are engaged with the surface of the support plate and are slidably connected to the support plate.

[0021] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a bread cooling device is disclosed, comprising a base 1, with side covers 2 fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the base 1. The adjacent sides of the two side covers 2 are open. An opening 101 is provided on the top wall of the base 1 below the side covers 2. Lifting components 3 are installed inside both side covers 2 and the base 1. Multiple trays 4 are horizontally placed between the two lifting components 3. A top plate 5 is fixed to the top of both side covers 2. A fan 6 is fixed in the middle of the top plate 5. A side shell 7 is fixed to the outer side wall of the base 1. A drive component 8 for driving the two lifting components 3 to rotate is installed inside the side shell 7. A controller is provided on the upper surface of the base 1.

[0023] The lifting assembly 3 includes a drive shaft 31 located inside the base 1 and a driven shaft 33 located on the top of the side cover 2. The drive shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the base 1 via a bearing, and a drive sprocket 32 ​​is fixed on the surface of the drive shaft 31. The driven shaft 33 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the side cover 2 via a bearing, and a driven sprocket 34 is fixed on the surface of the driven shaft 33. A mesh chain 35 is sleeved on the surface of the driven sprocket 34 and the drive sprocket 32. Several support plates 36 are fixed at equal intervals on the surface of the mesh chain 35.

[0024] In this embodiment, the mesh chain 35 is connected to the driven chain gear 34 and the driving chain gear 32 by meshing, which is the same as the principle of the existing mesh chain conveyor belt. The support plate 36 can rotate cyclically as the mesh chain 35 rotates.

[0025] The drive assembly 8 includes a dual-axis motor 81 fixed inside the side shell 7, and drive shafts 82 are fixed to both output ends of the dual-axis motor 81. A worm gear 83 is fixed to the other end of the drive shaft 82. The drive shafts 31 of the two lifting assemblies 3 extend into the side shell 7, and a worm wheel 84 is fixed to one end of the drive shaft 31 inside the side shell 7. The two worm gears 83 mesh with the two worm wheels 84 respectively, and the threads on the surfaces of the two worm gears 83 are opposite.

[0026] Since the threads on the surfaces of the two worm gears 83 are opposite, after the dual-axis motor 81 is started to drive the two worm gears 83 to rotate, the two worm gears 83 will drive the two worm wheels 84 and the two drive shafts 31 to rotate in opposite directions. The drive shafts 31 will then drive the mesh chain 35 to rotate. The rotation directions of the two mesh chains 35 are also opposite. Therefore, when the dual-axis motor 81 is started to drive the mesh chain 35 to rotate, the several support plates 36 on the surfaces of the two mesh chains 35 can rotate synchronously, so that the support plates 36 rise and fall synchronously.

[0027] Both sides of the tray 4 are fixed with side plates 41. The side plates 41 have strip grooves 42 on their sides. The strip grooves 42 are engaged with the surface of the support plate 36 and are slidably connected to the support plate 36.

[0028] When taking out the tray 4, simply remove the side plate 41 from the surface of the support plate 36. When placing the tray 4, slide the strip groove 42 on both side plates 41 along the support plate 36 of equal height on both sides to support the tray 4.

[0029] The top wall of the strip groove 42 is penetrated and connected by a fastening bolt 43 via a threaded rotation. When the side plate 41 is supported by the support plate 36, tightening the fastening bolt 43 compresses the support plate 36, which can fix the side plate 41 and increase the stability of the tray 4 when it is placed. When the tray 4 is removed, simply loosen the fastening bolt 43.

[0030] The bottom wall of tray 4 is made of stainless steel mesh. When the fan 6 blows air downwards, the air can pass through each tray 4 because the bottom wall of tray 4 is open, thereby cooling the bread on the surface of each tray 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, the controller uses a Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 series CPU 1516-3PN / DP (6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0). The dual-axis motor 81 and the fan 6 are both connected to the controller via wires. The specific wiring method and working principle are the same as in the prior art, where the controller controls the motor and fan. The dual-axis motor 81 and the fan 6 are controlled by the controller.

[0032] Working principle: When placing tray 4, first place tray 4 on the bottom support plate 36. When the bottom support plate 36 is full, the controller starts the dual-axis motor 81 of the drive assembly 8 to rotate the lifting assemblies 3 on both sides, causing the support plate 36 holding tray 4 to move upward. At this time, the bottom support plate 36 can be used to place more tray 4. When removing tray 4, remove the lower tray 4 first, and then control the lifting assemblies 3 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the upper tray 4 can be lowered. During the placement of bread, the fan 6 is turned on to cool the bread in each tray 4.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
