Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing machinery technology, and in particular to a frozen meat thawing device. Background Technology
[0002] Pork jerky is a traditional meat product. Its processing involves multiple steps, including thawing, marinating, spreading, drying, and slicing. Traditionally, these processes relied heavily on manual labor, which was inefficient and prone to inconsistent product quality. In recent years, with the development of automation technology, more and more pork jerky processing and shipping equipment has been put into use, aiming to improve production efficiency and product quality. After the pork jerky is transported from the refrigerated space, it needs to be thawed before processing. This is done by placing it in a thawing tank using a thawing frame. Specifically, water at a certain temperature is used to melt the meat, and an air-blowing device is used to create air bubbles. These bubbles rub against the frozen meat, thawing the jerky.
[0003] Although pork jerky thawing equipment has improved the automation level of pork jerky thawing to some extent, some problems still exist. Existing frozen meat thawing devices, after blowing out air bubbles, only contact the periphery of the frozen meat, while the frozen meat in the middle requires a long processing time, resulting in poor thawing effect. At the same time, the frozen meat can block the opening during the thawing process, affecting the thawing effect. Summary of the Invention

[0014] In some embodiments, a vibration unit is also included, which is placed at the bottom of the defrosting tank and abuts against the outer wall of the defrosting frame when the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit are connected.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this application compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0016] In this embodiment, the frozen meat thawing device mainly includes a thawing tank, a thawing frame, a first air-blowing component, and a second air-blowing component. An inlet and an outlet are provided on one inner wall of the thawing tank for introducing and discharging thawing water. The interior of the thawing tank stores thawing water and provides support space for the thawing frame. The thawing frame is the storage carrier for the frozen meat. A through hole is provided at the center of the bottom of the thawing frame for cooperating with the air-blowing rod of the second air-blowing component. Several first vent holes are also evenly distributed on the thawing frame, allowing air bubbles and water to pass through, thereby enhancing the turbulence effect of the thawing water. As a result, the bulging air bubbles rub against the frozen meat, accelerating the thawing process. The first air-blowing component consists of an air pump, a vent pipe, and a first connecting unit.

[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0043] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 This application provides a frozen meat thawing device including a thawing unit, a thawing frame, a first air-blowing component, and a second air-blowing component. An inlet and an outlet are provided on one inner wall of the thawing tank, which is used to store thawing water and accommodate the thawing frame. The thawing frame is provided with several first air vents and is used to store frozen meat; a through hole is provided at the center of the bottom of the thawing frame. The first air-blowing component includes an air pump, an air pipe, and a first connecting unit. The outlet of the air pump is connected to the inlet of the air pipe, and the air pump is used to blow out air bubbles. The first connecting unit is located on the outlet of the air pipe and is vertically positioned at the center of the bottom of the thawing tank. The second air-blowing component includes an air-blowing rod and a second connecting unit. The diameter of the air-blowing rod is adapted to the diameter of the through hole, and the air-blowing rod is placed on the through hole. The second connecting unit is fixedly connected to the air-blowing rod, and the first connecting unit is used to connect the second connecting unit. The air-blowing rod is provided with several second air vents.
[0044] In this embodiment, the frozen meat thawing device optimizes the flow of thawing water and the agitation of air bubbles to achieve efficient and uniform thawing of frozen meat, while avoiding problems such as sticking or insufficient thawing in certain areas during the thawing process. The thawing device mainly includes a thawing tank, a thawing frame, a first air-blowing component, and a second air-blowing component. An inlet and an outlet are provided on one inner wall of the thawing tank for introducing and discharging thawing water. The interior of the thawing tank stores thawing water and provides support space for the thawing frame. The thawing frame is the storage container for the frozen meat. A through hole is provided at the center of the bottom of the thawing frame for cooperation with the air-blowing rod of the second air-blowing component. It is understood that the air-blowing rod passes through the through hole and the first air-blowing component. The defrosting frame is connected to a blower rod to inflate the meat. Several first vent holes are evenly distributed on the defrosting frame, allowing air bubbles and water to pass through, thus enhancing the turbulence effect of the defrosting water. Simultaneously, the blown-out air bubbles rub against the frozen meat, accelerating the defrosting process. The first air-blowing component consists of an air pump, a vent pipe, and a first connecting unit. The air outlet of the air pump is connected to the air inlet of the vent pipe. Essentially, the air pump blows out air bubbles, which are then transported through the vent pipe to the first connecting unit, and finally into the defrosting frame, where they contact the frozen meat to achieve the defrosting effect and accelerate the defrosting process. The air outlet of the vent pipe is connected to the first connecting unit, which is vertically positioned within the defrosting tank. The bottom center is used to support and fix the second air-blowing assembly. The second air-blowing assembly includes an air-blowing rod and a second connecting unit. The diameter of the air-blowing rod is adapted to the diameter of the through hole at the bottom of the defrosting frame. The air-blowing rod can be inserted into the through hole and fit tightly with it. Several second vent holes are evenly distributed on the air-blowing rod. The second vent holes allow air bubbles to be released from the air-blowing rod into the defrosting water, further enhancing the defrosting effect. It can be understood that air bubbles can be blown out from the second vent holes on the air-blowing rod. Because the air-blowing rod is located at the bottom center of the defrosting frame and is vertically set, when frozen meat is placed, defrosting can be achieved in the middle of the frozen meat, avoiding the problem of uneven defrosting. The second connecting unit... The unit is fixedly connected to the air blower rod and connected to the first air blower assembly through the first connecting unit, thereby realizing the coordinated work of the two air blower assemblies. It can be understood that the frozen meat is placed in the defrosting frame, which is placed in the defrosting tank. After the air pump is started, the air bubbles are released into the defrosting water through the air pipe. When the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit are connected, the air bubbles can be released into the defrosting water through the air pipe and the air blower rod, forming two layers of air bubble disturbance. The first air blower assembly releases air bubbles from the bottom of the defrosting tank, and the second air blower assembly releases air bubbles from the middle of the defrosting frame. The coordinated action of the first air blower assembly and the second air blower assembly ensures that all parts of the frozen meat are heated evenly, thereby achieving rapid and uniform defrosting.
[0045] In this embodiment, the frozen meat thawing device provided by this application significantly improves the thawing efficiency and uniformity of frozen meat through a double-layer air-blowing assembly. The first air-blowing assembly releases air bubbles from the bottom of the thawing tank, which come into contact with the frozen meat as a whole to achieve thawing. The second air-blowing assembly releases air bubbles from the middle of the thawing frame, which directly act on the area around the frozen meat, creating local disturbances to achieve thawing. This not only accelerates the thawing process but also avoids the quality degradation problem caused by excessive local air bubble contact during the thawing process. The first vent on the thawing frame and the second vent on the air-blowing rod further enhance the uniformity of air bubble distribution, ensuring that all parts of the frozen meat are heated evenly and effectively preventing adhesion and insufficient thawing in certain areas. The device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is suitable for the thawing needs of various types of frozen meat, especially with broad application prospects in the food processing and catering industries.
[0046] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the defrosting frame further includes a protective cover fitted onto the air blower, and the protective cover is provided with a plurality of third vent holes.
[0047] In this embodiment, the defrosting frame also includes a protective cover, which is fitted onto the air blower. The protective cover has several third vent holes. The protective cover is designed to prevent the frozen meat from directly contacting the air blower, avoiding possible physical damage or contamination. The protective cover is fixedly connected to the defrosting frame through the bottom of the protective cover and the through holes, forming a stable structure to ensure that the protective cover will not shift or loosen during the defrosting process. The protective cover is fitted onto the air blower, so that when the air blower releases air bubbles, the bubbles first pass through the third vent holes on the protective cover and then enter the defrosting water. It can be understood that the protective cover separates the frozen meat from the air blower, preventing the frozen meat from softening after partial defrosting and blocking the third vent holes and the air blower, thus preventing the inability to blow air. It also allows the bubbles to be more evenly distributed throughout the defrosting area, thereby improving defrosting efficiency and uniformity. The third vent holes also allow water to flow freely between the inside and outside of the protective cover, ensuring that the temperature and flow state of the defrosting water can be evenly transferred to the area around the frozen meat, further improving the defrosting effect.
[0048] In this embodiment, the protective cover effectively prevents frozen meat from directly contacting the air blower, reducing potential physical damage to the frozen meat during thawing, lowering the risk of contamination, and improving food safety. It also prevents the frozen meat from softening after partial thawing and blocking the air blower, thus preventing a failure to blow air and improving thawing efficiency and uniformity. Furthermore, it allows the thawing device to adapt to more types and shapes of frozen meat, offering wider applicability and better thawing performance, meeting the needs of different users in thawing frozen meat.
[0049] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2In some embodiments, the defrosting frame further includes isolation plates, which are disposed within the defrosting frame. There are four isolation plates, one side of which is connected to an inner wall of the defrosting frame, and the other side of which is connected to an air blower.
[0050] In this embodiment, the defrosting frame also includes four isolation plates. One side of each isolation plate is connected to an inner wall of the defrosting frame, and the other side is connected to an air blower. The isolation plates are designed to further optimize the distribution of air bubbles during the defrosting process, ensuring more uniform defrosting of frozen meat, preventing sticking between frozen meat pieces, and improving defrosting efficiency and meat quality. The isolation plates, connected to the inner wall of the defrosting frame on one side, form a stable structure, ensuring that they do not shift or loosen during defrosting. The other side of the isolation plates is connected to the air blower, allowing the air blower to release air bubbles, which are then evenly distributed throughout the defrosting area through third vents at different positions on the air blower. Essentially, by setting four isolation plates, corresponding to the four inner walls of the defrosting frame, the defrosting frame can be divided into four parts around the air blower, facilitating the placement of frozen meat and enabling defrosting by air blowing in the center of the frozen meat. This allows for a more uniform distribution of air bubbles, thereby improving defrosting efficiency and uniformity.
[0051] In this embodiment, the addition of the isolation plate significantly improves the uniformity and efficiency of frozen meat thawing; the air bubbles released from the third vents at different positions on the air blower can be more evenly distributed in the thawing water, forming a uniform air blowing range, making the thawing of all parts of the frozen meat more uniform, avoiding the problem of local thawing being too fast or too slow due to uneven air bubble distribution; the isolation plate can effectively prevent frozen meat from sticking together, reducing the physical damage that frozen meat may suffer during the thawing process, while reducing the risk of contamination and improving food safety; the isolation plate also enhances the structural stability of the device, ensuring that all components can maintain good cooperation during the thawing process, reducing the possibility of decreased thawing effect or equipment failure due to component displacement or loosening; making the thawing device adaptable to more types and shapes of frozen meat, with wider applicability and better thawing performance, meeting the needs of different users in frozen meat thawing.
[0052] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 In some embodiments, the isolation plate is provided with several fourth vent holes.
[0053] In this embodiment, the defrosting frame also includes a partition plate with several fourth vent holes. This is designed to further optimize the distribution of air bubbles during the defrosting process, ensuring more uniform defrosting of frozen meat, preventing sticking between frozen meat pieces, and improving defrosting efficiency and quality. The partition plate is connected to the inner wall of the defrosting frame via one side, forming a stable structure that ensures the partition plate will not shift or loosen during defrosting. The other side of the partition plate is connected to the air blower, allowing the air blower to release air bubbles, which can then be evenly distributed throughout the defrosting area through the fourth vent holes on the partition plate. This not only increases the residence time and path of the air bubbles in the defrosting water but also allows for a more uniform distribution of the air bubbles, thereby improving defrosting efficiency and uniformity. The fourth vent holes also allow water to flow freely between the inside and outside of the partition plate, ensuring that the temperature and flow state of the defrosting water are evenly transferred to the area around the frozen meat, further enhancing the defrosting effect.
[0054] In this embodiment, the air bubbles released through the fourth vent on the isolation plate can be more evenly distributed in the thawing water, forming a more stable flow field. This ensures that all parts of the frozen meat are heated more evenly, avoiding the problem of localized thawing being too fast or too slow due to uneven bubble distribution. The isolation plate effectively prevents the frozen meat from sticking together, reducing potential physical damage during thawing and lowering the risk of contamination, thus improving food safety. The isolation plate also enhances the structural stability of the device, ensuring that all components maintain good cooperation during thawing and reducing the possibility of decreased thawing effect or equipment failure due to component displacement or loosening. This allows the thawing device to adapt to more types and shapes of frozen meat, providing wider applicability and better thawing performance to meet the needs of different users in thawing frozen meat.
[0055] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 In some embodiments, the isolation plate is provided with an air chamber, and the air chamber is connected to the fourth vent hole, and the air chamber and the air rod are connected in the middle.
[0056] In this embodiment, the defrosting frame also includes a partition plate with an air-blowing chamber connected to a fourth vent. The air-blowing chamber and the air-blowing rod are connected at their middle sections. This aims to further optimize the distribution of air bubbles and water flow disturbance during the defrosting process, ensuring more uniform defrosting of frozen meat, preventing adhesion between frozen meat pieces, and improving defrosting efficiency and frozen meat quality. The partition plate is connected to the inner wall of the defrosting frame via one side, forming a stable structure to ensure that the partition plate will not shift or loosen during defrosting. The other side of the partition plate... The side is connected to the air blower, allowing the air blower to release bubbles, which can then be evenly distributed throughout the thawing area through the fourth vent on the partition plate. The connection between the air blower chamber and the fourth vent, as well as the connection between the air blower chamber and the middle of the air blower, further enhances the uniformity of bubble distribution and the disturbance effect of water flow. This allows the air blower to release bubbles, which can then pass through the air blower chamber, through the fourth vent on the partition plate, and into the thawing frame to contact the frozen meat in the middle, resulting in a more uniform distribution of bubbles and accelerating the thawing process.
[0057] In this embodiment, the air bubbles released through the fourth vent on the isolation plate can be more evenly distributed in the thawing water, resulting in more uniform thawing of all parts of the frozen meat and avoiding the problem of localized thawing being too fast or too slow due to uneven air bubble distribution. The isolation plate can effectively prevent frozen meat from sticking together, reducing the physical damage that frozen meat may suffer during the thawing process, while also reducing the risk of contamination and improving food safety. This allows the thawing device to adapt to more types and shapes of frozen meat, giving it wider applicability and better thawing performance, meeting the needs of different users in thawing frozen meat.
[0058] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 In some embodiments, the bottom of the defrosting frame is provided with an anti-stick rod and an anti-stick plate, one end of the anti-stick rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the defrosting frame, and the other end of the anti-stick rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the anti-stick plate.
[0059] In this embodiment, the bottom of the defrosting frame is provided with an anti-stick rod and an anti-stick plate. One end of the anti-stick rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the defrosting frame, and the other end of the anti-stick rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the anti-stick plate. The anti-stick plate is used to directly contact the frozen meat, further optimizing the anti-stick effect during the defrosting process and ensuring that the frozen meat will not stick to the bottom of the defrosting frame during defrosting, while improving defrosting efficiency and frozen meat quality. The anti-stick rod acts as a connector, fixing the anti-stick plate to the bottom of the defrosting frame to form a stable structure. The anti-stick plate is evenly distributed at the bottom of the defrosting frame, preventing the frozen meat from directly contacting the bottom of the defrosting frame, thereby avoiding the sticking problem caused by the frozen meat contacting the bottom of the defrosting frame. Furthermore, the middle of the anti-stick plate is connected to the defrosting frame via the anti-stick rod. The bottom of the defrosting frame is fixedly connected to ensure that the anti-stick plate will not shift or loosen during the defrosting process, maintaining a good anti-stick effect. The anti-stick plate is usually made of a material with a low coefficient of friction and corrosion resistance to further enhance the anti-stick performance. Understandably, before the anti-stick rod and anti-stick plate are installed, frozen meat will soften during the defrosting process and may block the first vent hole on the defrosting frame if it comes into direct contact with the first vent hole. After the anti-stick rod and anti-stick plate are installed, the frozen meat is lifted away from the bottom of the defrosting frame, preventing direct contact with the first vent hole and achieving the anti-stick effect. This not only improves the uniformity and efficiency of frozen meat defrosting, but also reduces the physical damage that frozen meat may suffer during the defrosting process, while reducing the risk of contamination and improving food safety.
[0060] In this embodiment, the addition of the anti-stick rod and anti-stick plate significantly improves the anti-stick effect of thawing frozen meat, preventing the frozen meat from sticking to the bottom of the thawing frame during the thawing process, thereby reducing the risk of physical damage and contamination to the frozen meat; it ensures that the frozen meat will not block the first vent during the thawing process, affecting the thawing effect and improving thawing efficiency and frozen meat quality; the material selection of the anti-stick plate further enhances the durability and reliability of the device, ensuring that it can maintain a good anti-stick effect during long-term use; it enables the thawing device to adapt to more types and shapes of frozen meat, has wider applicability and better thawing performance, and meets the needs of different users in thawing frozen meat.
[0061] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 In some embodiments, multiple sets of anti-stick rods and anti-stick plates are provided, and the anti-stick rods and anti-stick plates are disposed on the inner wall of the defrosting frame.
[0062] In this embodiment, the defrosting device is equipped with multiple sets of anti-stick rods and anti-stick plates, which are installed on the inner wall of the defrosting frame to further optimize the anti-stick effect during the defrosting process. By setting anti-stick structures at multiple key locations, it is ensured that frozen meat will not stick to the defrosting frame during the defrosting process, thereby reducing the risk of physical damage and contamination. The anti-stick rods act as connectors, fixing the anti-stick plates to the inner wall of the defrosting frame to form a stable structure. The anti-stick plates are evenly distributed on these surfaces to prevent frozen meat from directly contacting the defrosting frame, thus avoiding the problem of the second vent being blocked by frozen meat during the defrosting process. In addition, the anti-stick plates are usually made of materials with low friction coefficient and corrosion resistance, such as Teflon or silicone, to further enhance the anti-stick performance. This not only improves the uniformity and efficiency of frozen meat defrosting but also enhances the durability and reliability of the device, ensuring that a good anti-stick effect is maintained during long-term use.
[0063] In this embodiment, the multiple sets of anti-stick rods and anti-stick plates significantly improve the anti-stick effect of frozen meat thawing, preventing the frozen meat from sticking to the thawing frame during the thawing process, thereby reducing the risk of physical damage and contamination to the frozen meat; it can also prevent the second vent from being blocked by the frozen meat during the thawing process, improving thawing efficiency and frozen meat quality; the material selection of the anti-stick plate further enhances the durability and reliability of the device, ensuring that it can maintain a good anti-stick effect during long-term use; this allows the thawing device to adapt to more types and shapes of frozen meat, with wider applicability and better thawing performance, meeting the needs of different users in thawing frozen meat.
[0064] In some embodiments, a control unit is also included, and the control unit and the air pump are electrically connected.
[0065] In this embodiment, the defrosting device also includes a control unit, which is electrically connected to the air pump. By electrically connecting the control unit to the air pump, the control unit can precisely control the working state of the air pump, thereby optimizing the defrosting process. The control unit can send control signals to adjust the air flow, air pressure, or working time of the air pump according to a preset defrosting program or real-time monitored defrosting status, in order to adapt to the defrosting needs of different types and shapes of frozen meat. The intelligent control method not only improves defrosting efficiency but also enhances the uniformity of defrosting and the quality of frozen meat, while reducing the risk of equipment failure due to improper operation.
[0066] In this embodiment, the electrical connection between the control unit and the air pump enables precise control of the air pump, allowing for flexible adjustment of the air pump's operating status according to defrosting requirements, thereby improving defrosting efficiency and uniformity. The intelligent control method reduces manual intervention, lowers the risk of equipment failure due to improper operation, and improves the reliability and service life of the equipment.
[0067] In some embodiments, a vibration unit is also included, which is placed at the bottom of the defrosting tank and abuts against the outer wall of the defrosting frame when the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit are connected.
[0068] In this embodiment, the defrosting device further includes a vibration unit, which is placed at the bottom of the defrosting tank. When the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit are connected, the vibration unit abuts against the outer wall of the defrosting frame to provide additional physical vibration during the defrosting process, thereby further optimizing the defrosting effect. When the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit are connected, the vibration unit abuts against the outer wall of the defrosting frame, thereby directly transmitting the vibration to the defrosting frame and the frozen meat inside the defrosting frame. Through physical vibration, the fluidity of the defrosting water and the disturbance effect of air bubbles are enhanced, so that heat can be transferred more evenly to all parts of the frozen meat, accelerating the defrosting process. The vibration of the vibration unit can also effectively prevent the frozen meat from sticking to the bottom of the defrosting frame or the defrosting tank during the defrosting process, reducing the risk of physical damage. In this way, the frozen meat can be heated more evenly during the defrosting process, avoiding the problem of local defrosting being too fast or too slow, while improving the defrosting quality of the frozen meat.
[0069] In this embodiment, by enhancing the fluidity of the thawing water and the agitation of air bubbles, heat transfer is more uniform, and the thawing time is shortened. It can effectively prevent frozen meat from sticking to the bottom of the thawing frame or thawing tank during the thawing process, reducing the risk of physical damage and contamination, and improving food safety. The placement and operation of the vibration unit enhance the structural stability of the device, ensuring that all components can maintain good cooperation during the thawing process, reducing the possibility of decreased thawing effect or equipment failure due to component displacement or loosening.
[0070] The frozen meat thawing device mainly includes a thawing tank, a thawing frame, a first air-blowing component, and a second air-blowing component. The inner wall of one side of the thawing tank has an inlet and an outlet for introducing and discharging thawing water. The interior of the thawing tank stores the thawing water and provides support space for the thawing frame. The thawing frame is the storage container for the frozen meat. A through hole is located at the center of the bottom of the thawing frame for cooperation with the air-blowing rod of the second air-blowing component. Several first air vents are evenly distributed on the thawing frame, allowing air bubbles and water to pass through, thereby enhancing the turbulence effect of the thawing water and simultaneously venting the frozen meat. The air bubbles rub against the frozen meat, accelerating the thawing process. The first air-blowing component consists of an air pump, a vent pipe, and a first connecting unit. The air outlet of the air pump is connected to the air inlet of the vent pipe, and the air outlet of the vent pipe is connected to the first connecting unit. The first connecting unit is vertically positioned at the bottom center of the thawing tank to support and fix the second air-blowing component. The second air-blowing component includes an air-blowing rod and a second connecting unit. The diameter of the air-blowing rod is adapted to the diameter of the through hole at the bottom of the thawing frame. The air-blowing rod can be inserted into the through hole and fit tightly with it. Several air bubbles are evenly distributed on the air-blowing rod. The second vent allows air bubbles to be released from the air blower into the thawing water, further enhancing the thawing effect. The second connecting unit is fixedly connected to the air blower and connected to the first air blower assembly via the first connecting unit, thus enabling the two air blower assemblies to work together. The synergistic effect of the first and second air blower assemblies ensures even heating of all parts of the frozen meat, achieving rapid and uniform thawing. The first air blower assembly releases air bubbles from the bottom of the thawing tank, making full contact with the frozen meat to achieve thawing; the second air blower assembly releases air bubbles from the middle of the thawing frame. It acts directly on the area around the frozen meat, creating localized disturbance to achieve thawing. This not only accelerates the thawing process but also avoids the quality degradation caused by excessive local contact of air bubbles during thawing. The first vent on the thawing frame and the second vent on the air blower further enhance the uniformity of air bubble distribution, ensuring even heating of all parts of the frozen meat and effectively preventing adhesion and incomplete thawing in certain areas. The device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is suitable for thawing various types of frozen meat, with broad application prospects, especially in the food processing and catering industries.
