Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, specifically to a food soaking and lifting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are more and more central canteens or centralized canteens, which can facilitate the staff in the area to obtain materials. In central canteens, because there are a lot of ingredients to be processed, operations such as cutting, washing or dehydrating the ingredients are often done by mechanical equipment, so as to quickly complete the preparation of ingredients.

[0003] For some root vegetables, due to their high freshness upon purchase, there may be some dried mud on them. In this case, the mud needs to be washed off manually during the cleaning process. However, since the mud has dried and become hard clumps, the cleaning process is often quite laborious, requiring constant rubbing to remove it from the vegetables. This results in greater labor intensity and lower efficiency when manually cleaning root vegetables.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a food slicing machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A food soaking and lifting machine includes an inclined lifting conveyor belt and a water tank for holding a cleaning solution for soaking food. The lower end of the lifting conveyor belt is placed inside the water tank and is attached to one side of the inner wall of the water tank. A bracket is also provided inside the water tank, and the bracket forms a gap with the lower end of the water tank. One end of the bracket is formed on the inner wall of the water tank away from the lifting conveyor belt, and the other end of the bracket extends toward the lifting conveyor belt. A bubbling device is also provided in the water tank, located below the bracket, for generating water ripples that fluctuate in the vertical direction in the cleaning solution.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting conveyor belt is composed of a chain conveyor belt, and a lifting plate protruding from the chain block is formed on the chain block.

[0008] Furthermore, the bracket includes multiple trailing rods arranged side by side at equal intervals. One end of each trailing rod is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the water tank, and the other end extends toward the lifting conveyor belt to the end of the lifting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting plate is formed with a plurality of clearance grooves, and the tow rod corresponding to the clearance grooves is provided with an extension portion extending into the clearance grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the bracket facing the lifting conveyor belt is inclined downwards, so that the bracket forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane.

[0011] Furthermore, the bubbling device includes several air outlet pipes arranged side by side, and several air outlet holes are equally spaced along the length direction on the surface of the air outlet pipes. The several air outlet pipes are connected in parallel to each other and communicate with an external air source through a pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, a pulse valve is installed on the pipe, which allows high-pressure gas to be pulsedly introduced into the water tank through the outlet pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, a rising section is formed above the pipe, and the horizontal height of the rising section is higher than the horizontal height of the cleaning liquid surface in the water tank.

[0014] Furthermore, a recess is formed on the side wall of the pool corresponding to the lifting conveyor belt. The recess has a side wall with the same inclination angle as the lifting conveyor belt, and the lifting conveyor belt is disposed within the recess.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] During the soaking process, the ingredients placed in the water tank are supported by a bracket to prevent them from falling directly to the bottom of the tank and hindering their transport by the conveyor belt. Simultaneously, a bubbling device is installed on the lower side of the bracket. This device pushes the cleaning liquid in the tank to create vertically undulating water ripples. These ripples continuously impact the ingredients, softening the mud on them and causing at least some of the softened mud to detach. Through this embodiment of the invention, dried mud on ingredients can be softened and even partially removed through soaking and water flow. The ingredients are then moved to the washing station by the conveyor belt, reducing the difficulty of cleaning and easily removing mud and other debris. This reduces the labor intensity of the cleaners and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0017] This utility model provides a soaking lifting machine for soaking food ingredients, especially for soaking root vegetables. The soaking lifting machine provided by this technical solution can soften the dried mud on the food ingredients, or even remove some of the mud, thereby making it easier to further clean the food ingredients, reducing the labor intensity of the cleaners and improving the cleaning efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] This utility model provides a soaking lifting machine for soaking food ingredients, especially for soaking root vegetables. The soaking lifting machine provided by this technical solution can soften the dried mud on the food ingredients, or even remove some of the mud, thereby making it easier to further clean the food ingredients, reducing the labor intensity of the cleaners and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0024] like Figure 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, a food soaking and lifting machine includes an inclined lifting conveyor belt 100 and a water tank 200 for holding cleaning liquid for soaking food. The lower end of the lifting conveyor belt 100 is placed inside the water tank 200 and is attached to one side of the inner wall of the water tank 200. The food soaked in the water tank 200 can be conveyed out of the water tank 200 during the conveying of the lifting conveyor belt 100. A bracket 210 is also provided inside the water tank 200. The bracket 210 forms a gap with the lower end of the water tank 200, and one end of the bracket 210 is formed on the inner wall of the water tank 200 away from the lifting conveyor belt 100. The other end of the bracket 210 extends toward the lifting conveyor belt 100. A bubbling device 230 is also provided inside the water tank 200. The bubbling device 230 is located below the bracket 210 and is used to generate water ripples that fluctuate in the vertical direction in the cleaning liquid.

[0025] During the soaking process, the ingredients placed in the water tank 200 are supported by a bracket 210 to prevent them from falling directly to the bottom of the tank 200 and hindering their transport by the conveyor belt 100. Simultaneously, a bubbling device 230 is installed on the lower side of the bracket 210. This device pushes the cleaning liquid in the tank 200 to create vertically undulating water ripples. These ripples continuously impact the ingredients, softening the mud on them and causing at least some of the softened mud to detach. Through this embodiment of the invention, dried mud on ingredients can be softened and even partially removed through soaking and water flow. The ingredients are then transported by the conveyor belt 100 to the cleaning station, reducing the difficulty of cleaning and easily removing mud and other debris. This reduces the labor intensity of the cleaners and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0026] In this embodiment, an example of the specific structure of the lifting conveyor belt 100 is given, such as... Figure 3As shown, the lifting conveyor belt 100 is composed of a chain conveyor belt 100, and a lifting plate 110 protruding from the chain block is formed on the chain block. During the operation of the lifting conveyor belt 100, the lifting plate 110 carries the food along the inclined conveyor belt 100. In this embodiment, the lifting conveyor belt 100 also includes an inclined frame, and transfer shafts are rotatably connected to both ends of the frame. A drive motor is fixedly mounted on the frame and is connected to one of the transfer shafts. The chain conveyor belt 100 is sleeved on the two drive shafts and is driven by them to achieve reciprocating rotation. It is conceivable that a sprocket is provided on the transfer shaft to mesh with the chain conveyor belt 100, thereby driving the chain conveyor belt 100 to move reciprocally. During the conveying process of the conveyor belt 100, the lifting plate 110 carries the food along the inclined conveyor belt 100, thereby transferring it out of the water tank 200.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-3 As shown, the bracket 210 includes multiple equally spaced drag rods 211 arranged side by side. One end of each drag rod 211 is fixedly mounted to the inner wall of the pool 200, and the other end extends towards the lifting conveyor belt 100 to the end of the lifting plate 110. The bracket 210 is configured with several drag rods 211 spaced apart from each other, allowing water ripples generated by the bubbling device 230 driving the cleaning liquid to pass between two drag rods 211, thereby impacting the food supported by the bracket 210 and completing the rinsing and soaking operation on the food.

[0028] In this embodiment, to prevent food ingredients from falling into the gap between the bracket 210 and the lifting plate 110 when they are transferred along the bracket 210 towards the lifting conveyor belt 100, several clearance grooves 111 are formed on the lifting plate 110. Corresponding to the clearance grooves 111, the drag rods 211 are provided with extensions 212 extending into the clearance grooves 111. In other words, by lengthening some of the drag rods 211, the path for supporting the food can be extended, allowing the food ingredients to be transferred more smoothly onto the lifting plate 110. In this embodiment, drag rods 211 with extensions 212 and drag rods 211 without extensions 212 are alternately arranged.

[0029] In this embodiment, to facilitate the transfer of food ingredients on the bracket 210 towards the lifting conveyor belt 100, the end of the bracket 210 facing the lifting conveyor belt 100 is inclined downwards, creating an acute angle between the bracket 210 and the horizontal plane. In other words, with the bracket 210 in an inclined state, the food ingredients will roll towards the lifting conveyor belt 100 under the influence of gravity. After contacting the lifting conveyor belt 100, they will be conveyed along the inclined direction of the lifting conveyor belt 100 by the lifting plate 110.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the bubbling device 230 includes a plurality of air outlet pipes 231 arranged side by side. A plurality of air outlet holes 232 are provided at equal intervals along the length direction on the surface of the air outlet pipes 231. The plurality of air outlet pipes 231 are connected in parallel to each other and communicate with an external air source through a pipe 234.

[0031] By introducing airflow into the cleaning solution, an impact water flow is generated inside the cleaning solution. The airflow also causes a large number of bubbles to form in the liquid. When the bubbles burst, they impact the food, thus removing the softened mud that has been soaked on the food.

[0032] In this embodiment, to further improve the softening and removal of mud during the soaking process of the food, a pulse valve is installed on the pipe 234, allowing high-pressure gas to be pulsedly introduced into the water tank 200 through the air outlet pipe 231. This intermittent, pulsed gas introduction creates shock waves of a specific frequency in the cleaning solution. As the cleaning solution fluctuates at this specific frequency, it pulses against the mud on the food, thereby improving the softening and removal of the mud.

[0033] In this embodiment, to protect the external air source, a rising section 235 is formed above the pipe 234, and the horizontal height of the rising section 235 is higher than the horizontal height of the cleaning liquid surface in the water tank 200. Because the high-pressure gas introduced into the water tank 200 is pulsed, the air pressure in the pipe 234 is relatively low for a certain period of time, which makes it easy for the cleaning liquid to flow back into the pipe 234. By setting the rising section 235, with the communicating vessel further away, the cleaning liquid can be prevented from rising to the top of the rising section 235, thereby preventing the backflowing liquid from entering the air source and affecting the air source.

[0034] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the operation of the lifting conveyor belt 100, a relief portion 201 is formed on the side wall of the pool 200 corresponding to the lifting conveyor belt 100. The relief portion 201 is provided with a side wall having the same inclination angle as the lifting conveyor belt 100, and the lifting conveyor belt 100 is disposed within the relief portion 201.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
