[0002] The blanching device in wakame production is a specialized piece of equipment for heat treatment of wakame. Its core function is to achieve effects such as enzyme inactivation, color protection, sterilization, and texture improvement of wakame through rapid high-temperature treatment.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN214340043U discloses a blanching device for producing frozen seasoned wakame seaweed. The device transports the wakame seaweed through a perforated conveyor belt, allowing it to pass sequentially through a blanching box and a rinsing box located above the conveyor frame. In conjunction with rotatable stirring rods located in the blanching box and the rinsing box, the wakame seaweed is turned over, thereby improving the blanching effect.

[0004] However, in the existing technology, the blanching method that combines horizontal conveying and stirring is difficult to effectively remove impurities adhering to wakame when the wakame is long or stacked in multiple layers. Furthermore, the wakame is prone to tangling, making conveying and removal difficult. Therefore, a blanching device for producing wakame is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a blanching device for producing wakame seaweed.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A blanching device for producing wakame seaweed includes a feeding component that can introduce wakame seaweed into the device for initial blanching, a blanching component that can vertically lift the wakame seaweed and blanch it to a depth above the feeding component, and a cooling component that can export the blanched wakame seaweed out of the device from one side of the blanching component.

[0008] The blanching assembly includes a feeding component that can vertically lift the wakame seaweed after clamping or hooking it, a rinsing component that can thoroughly rinse the wakame seaweed to complete blanching and impurity removal, and a drive component that can make the feeding component operate as needed.

[0010] The feeding component includes a first bracket fixedly connected to the front and rear of the upright frame, a second bracket set below the first bracket, roller seats fixedly connected to the inner sides of the front and rear of the upright frame and the inner sides of the first and second brackets, a rotating roller movably connected between two roller seats with the same height and longitudinal position, a conveyor belt set at the front and rear of the upright frame, the conveyor belt being sleeved between multiple rotating rollers on its respective side, multiple multi-stage telescopic rods fixedly connected to the outer side of the conveyor belt, and an abutment joint fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the multi-stage telescopic rod.

[0011] Preferably, the ironing component further includes a connecting pipe fixedly connected to one side of the first inlet pipe, and a first injection pipe is fixedly connected between multiple connecting pipes.

[0012] Preferably, the driving component includes a driven gear fixedly connected to one end of a rotating roller within a first bracket, a motor fixedly mounted on the first bracket, and a driving gear fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0013] Preferably, the support frame adopts a symmetrical double-body structure, with the first inlet pipes distributed equidistantly on both sides of the support frame along the height direction. The axis of the first inlet pipes intersects the center line of the support frame at an acute angle, and the opening end of each first inlet pipe away from the support frame faces obliquely upward.

[0014] Preferably, the roller seat is rotatably connected to the rotating roller.

[0015] Preferably, the conveyor belt has a trapezoidal closed loop structure, and multiple multi-stage telescopic rods are equidistantly arranged along the outer side of the conveyor belt, with the axis of the multi-stage telescopic rods perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a blanching device for producing wakame seaweed includes a feeding component 1 that can introduce wakame seaweed into the device for initial blanching, a blanching component 2 that can vertically lift the wakame seaweed and blanch it to a deeper level above the feeding component 1, and a cooling component 3 that can export the blanched wakame seaweed out of the device from one side of the blanching component 2.

[0030] In this embodiment: the feeding assembly 1 includes a feeding cylinder 101, a pipe 102 is fixedly connected to the rear of the feeding cylinder 101, a feeding rack 103 is fixedly connected to one side of the feeding cylinder 101, and a filter rack 104 is fixedly installed inside the feeding cylinder 101.

[0031] The feeding cylinder 101 serves as the load-bearing component of this device, housing components such as the feeding rack 103 and the upright frame 201. It also receives the blanching water flowing down from the upright frame 201. The blanching water flowing into the feeding cylinder 101, along with impurities falling from the wakame seaweed, is discharged through the drain pipe 102. The wakame seaweed placed on the feeding rack 103, which has a certain inclination on its internal bearing surface, is guided into the feeding cylinder 101. The filter rack 104 with filter holes separates the internal space of the feeding cylinder 101, thereby preventing an excessive height difference between the wakame seaweed and the upright frame 201 after entering the feeding cylinder 101 without affecting the flow of the blanching water to the drain pipe 102.

[0032] In this embodiment: the blanching assembly 2 includes a feeding component that can vertically lift the wakame seaweed after clamping or hooking it, a rinsing component that can thoroughly rinse the wakame seaweed to complete blanching and impurity removal, and a driving component that can make the feeding component operate as needed.

[0033] The heat exchange component includes a stand 201 fixedly installed above the feed cylinder 101. Multiple first feed pipes 202 are fixedly connected to both sides of the stand 201. The feeding component includes first supports 205 fixedly connected to the front and rear of the stand 201, respectively. A second support 206 is provided below the first support 205. Roller seats 207 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the stand 201, as well as to the sides of the first and second supports 205 and 206. A rotating roller 208 is movably connected between two roller seats 207 of the same height and longitudinal position. Conveyor belts 209 are provided at the front and rear of the stand 201. The conveyor belt 209 is fitted between multiple rotating rollers 208 on its respective side. Multiple multi-stage telescopic rods 210 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the conveyor belt 209. The telescopic ends of the multi-stage telescopic rods 210 are fixedly connected to the abutment joints 211. The scalding component also includes a connecting pipe 203 fixedly connected to one side of the first inlet pipe 202. A first injection pipe 204 is fixedly connected between multiple connecting pipes 203. The driving component includes a driven gear 212 fixedly connected to one end of the rotating roller 208 in the first bracket 205. A motor 213 is fixedly installed on the first bracket 205. The output end of the motor 213 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 214.

[0034] The upright frame 201 adopts a symmetrical double-body structure. The first inlet pipe 202 is equidistantly distributed on both sides of the upright frame 201 along the height direction of the upright frame 201. The axis of the first inlet pipe 202 intersects the center line of the upright frame 201 at an acute angle, and the opening end of each first inlet pipe 202 away from the upright frame 201 faces obliquely upward. The roller seat 207 is rotatably connected to the rotating roller 208. The conveyor belt 209 has a trapezoidal closed ring structure. Multiple multi-stage telescopic rods 210 are equidistantly arranged along the outer side of the conveyor belt 209. The axis of the multi-stage telescopic rods 210 is perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt 209. The driven gear 212 is meshed with the driving gear 214.

[0035] The support frame 201 provides installation positions for the first inlet pipe 202, the first support 205, the second support 206, and some roller seats 207. The scalding water for this device is injected through the first injection pipe 204, flowing into the support frame 201 from different heights on both sides along the connecting pipes 203 and the first inlet pipe 202. The first support 205 and the second support 206 provide installation positions for some roller seats 207, allowing these roller seats 207 to install rollers 208 at different heights outside the support frame 201. The rollers 208 limit the movement of the conveyor belt 209 mounted on them. The rollers 208 with a larger wrap angle to the conveyor belt 209 serve multiple functions, including power transmission, support and stability, tension control, and anti-deviation. The rollers 208 located inside the support frame 201 with a smaller wrap angle to the conveyor belt 209 support the conveyor belt 209, preventing tension during operation. The excessive tension causes the multi-stage telescopic rods 210 to move within the device via the conveyor belt 209 after operation. The multi-stage telescopic rods 210 can be of the type with built-in springs that can push their telescopic joints away from the rod body. Based on this, the abutment joints 211 connected to the multi-stage telescopic rods 210 may tend to move away from the conveyor belt 209 connected to the multi-stage telescopic rods 210 when not subjected to external force. The two abutment joints 211, which move with different conveyor belts 209 and can contact each other within the frame 201 due to the multi-stage telescopic rods 210 and have a tendency to move in opposite directions, can clamp the part of the wakame seaweed in contact when they are in contact with it. The abutment joints 211 can also be replaced with plate-shaped parts with a larger contact area to ensure the clamping effect on the wakame seaweed. The rotation of the output end of the motor 213 is transmitted to the roller 208, which is set in the first bracket 205 and connected to the driven gear 212, through the driving gear 214 and the driven gear 212.

[0036] In this embodiment: the cooling assembly 3 includes a receiving frame 301 fixedly installed on one side of the upright 201. A second inlet pipe 302 is fixedly connected to the side of the receiving frame 301 near the feed rack 103. A cover 303 is fixedly connected above the receiving frame 301. A plurality of third inlet pipes 304 are fixedly connected to the cover 303. A second injection pipe 305 is fixedly connected between the third inlet pipes 304.

[0037] The receiving frame 301, whose highest point is flush with the upper edge of the upright frame 201, allows the wakame seaweed removed from the opening above the upright frame 201 to fall along the inner receiving surface of the receiving frame 301 after landing on it. Through the horizontally arranged second inlet pipe 302, water is supplied, and the water flow impacts the wakame seaweed removed from the opening above the upright frame 201, allowing it to fall smoothly onto the receiving frame 301. The cover 303 prevents the wakame seaweed from being washed out of the device. When water is injected into the second injection pipe 305, the third inlet pipe 304 can guide the water from the second injection pipe 305 to different positions below the cover 303, thus rinsing and cooling the wakame seaweed.

[0038] Working principle: When this device is installed for blanching in the production of wakame seaweed, the drain pipe 102, the first injection pipe 204, the second inlet pipe 302, and the second injection pipe 305 can be connected to the hot water recovery equipment, the hot water supply equipment, the warm water supply equipment, and the cold water supply equipment, respectively. According to the drainage speed of the drain pipe 102, the hot water supply speed of the first injection pipe 204 is adjusted so that the liquid level of the hot water remaining in the feed cylinder 101 can appropriately submerge the filter rack 104. Then, when the motor 213 is working to drive the conveyor belt 209 to run, the wakame seaweed that needs to be blanched is continuously fed into this device from the feed rack 103.

[0039] Specifically, after the wakame enters the device from the feeding rack 103, it falls into the feeding cylinder 101 and undergoes initial blanching with the hot water accumulated in the feeding cylinder 101. Then, as the multi-stage telescopic rods 210 and the abutment joints 211 move from the outside of the upright frame 201 to the inside and move upward, the multi-stage telescopic rods 210 or the abutment joints 211 can hook the wakame or contact the wakame together and clamp it when the multi-stage telescopic rods 210 gradually turn to the horizontal, so as to drive the wakame to rise along the height direction of the upright frame 201. With the wakame clamped at multiple points and the unclamped parts hanging down naturally, it is successively rinsed by the hot water sprayed from the first inlet pipe 202 at different heights, thereby completing the deep blanching and rinsing of the wakame. During this process, the debris adhering to the wakame either falls into the feeding cylinder 101 and flows out through the drain pipe 102 for processing, or is intercepted by the filter rack 104 and left in the feeding cylinder 101 for unified cleaning by the staff.

[0040] As the blanching process continues, the wakame seaweed will gradually move out of the opening above the upright 201 due to the continuous operation of the feeding device. Since the inner receiving surface of the top of the receiving frame 301 is flush with the upper edge of the upright 201, the generally longer wakame seaweed will move out of the upright 201 first and fall onto the inner receiving surface of the receiving frame 301. As it continues to move out, it will fall onto the inclined part of the inner receiving surface of the receiving frame 301 and fall down. If the wakame seaweed cannot move smoothly to the inclined part of the inner receiving surface of the receiving frame 301, warm water can be supplied briefly through the second inlet pipe 302 to impact the wakame seaweed and make it move smoothly until it leaves the device under the continuous flushing of cold water sprayed from the third inlet pipe 304.

[0041] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
