AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, frozen hamburgers are produced at high temperatures in the patties, resulting in a high temperature in the center of the hamburger and a low cooling rate, which makes it impossible to effectively separate the cooling process.
The frozen hamburger pre-cooling mechanism uses a mesh conveyor belt to separate the patties, lower patties, and upper patties. It uses a pre-cooling box and a cooling box for step-by-step cooling, combined with a turbo fan to deliver cold air to improve cooling efficiency, and uses a conical hopper to achieve automatic stacking and centralized freezing.
The cooling rate of the meat patties, lower patties, and upper patties is increased, and they are automatically frozen in a concentrated manner after their temperature drops to about 15 degrees Celsius, which improves cooling efficiency and cooling uniformity.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hamburger production technology, and more specifically, to a pre-cooling mechanism for frozen hamburgers. Background Technology
[0002] Frozen hamburgers require a freezing process during production. The current method involves freezing the entire hamburger (with the patty and the top and bottom patties being cooled together). Because the patty inside the hamburger is at a high temperature, reaching over 100 degrees Celsius when it comes out of the oven, and is sandwiched between the top and bottom patties, the patty's temperature is not easily dissipated, resulting in a high temperature in the center of the hamburger and a low cooling rate. Therefore, a new method is needed to cool the hamburger. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a frozen hamburger pre-cooling mechanism to solve the aforementioned problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A frozen hamburger pre-cooling system, including;
[0006] meat pie;
[0007] The flatbread is divided into a lower flatbread and an upper flatbread.
[0008] Mesh belt conveyor is used to transport meat patties, lower patties, and upper patties. The lower patties, meat patties, and upper patties are arranged in sequence, and the line connecting the lower patties, meat patties, and upper patties forms an acute angle with the conveying direction.
[0009] Pre-cooling components; cooling the bottom cake, meat patty, and top cake separately.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a pre-cooling box and a cooling box. Mesh conveyor belts are installed in the pre-cooling box and the cooling box respectively. The height of the mesh conveyor belt in the pre-cooling box is lower than that in the cooling box. The side wall of the cooling box is equipped with a conical hopper. The lower cake, meat cake and upper cake pass through the conical hopper in sequence and fall onto the same position on the mesh conveyor belt in the cooling box.
[0011] Furthermore, the conical hopper has an flared opening on the side closest to the precooling box, and conveyor rollers are installed on the surface of the conical hopper in a radial arrangement. One end of the conical hopper is in contact with the mesh conveyor belt inside the precooling box.
[0012] Furthermore, the precooling component is provided in two sets, which are respectively connected to the head of the precooling box and the tail of the cooling box. The precooling component includes a connecting pipe installed in the precooling box and the cooling box, and a turbofan fan is installed on the connecting pipe; the turbofan fan delivers the cold air in the cooling box to the precooling box.
[0013] Furthermore, the sidewalls of the connecting pipes are equipped with an insulation layer.
[0014] Furthermore, the portion of the connecting pipe that extends into the precooling box and the cooling box is equipped with an expansion mask.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting up a pre-cooling box, the meat patties, lower patties and upper patties can be separated for pre-cooling, increasing the contact area between the cold air and the meat patties, lower patties and upper patties, and increasing the cooling rate. When the temperature of the meat patties, lower patties and upper patties is about 15 degrees, the conical hopper can automatically gather the scattered meat patties, lower patties and upper patties and let them fall into the cooling box for centralized freezing.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] This application provides a pre-cooling mechanism for frozen hamburgers; please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-4 :include;
[0023] Meat pie 1;
[0024] The dough is divided into a lower dough (2) and an upper dough (3).
[0025] Mesh conveyor belt 4 is used to transport meat patty 1, lower patty 2 and upper patty 3. The lower patty 2, meat patty 1 and upper patty 3 are arranged in sequence, and the line connecting the lower patty 2, meat patty 1 and upper patty 3 forms an acute angle with the conveying direction.
[0026] Pre-cooling component 5: Cools the lower cake 2, meat cake 1 and upper cake 3 respectively.
[0027] In practical applications, the mesh conveyor belt 4 transports the meat patties 1, lower patties 2, and upper patties 3 in a specified arrangement to the pre-cooling box 6. The cold air in the pre-cooling box 6 is obtained from the cooling box 7 by the pre-cooling component 5. The meat patties 1, lower patties 2, and upper patties 3 enter the pre-cooling box 6 for initial cooling. As the mesh conveyor belt 4 is conveyed, under the action of gravity, the meat patties 1, lower patties 2, and upper patties 3 will move into the cooling box 7 for further cooling.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 It also includes a pre-cooling box 6 and a cooling box 7. Mesh conveyor belts 4 are installed in the pre-cooling box 6 and the cooling box 7 respectively. The height of the mesh conveyor belt 4 in the pre-cooling box 6 is lower than that in the cooling box 7. The side wall of the cooling box 7 is provided with a conical hopper 8. The lower cake 2, meat cake 1 and upper cake 3 pass through the conical hopper 8 in sequence and fall onto the same position on the mesh conveyor belt 4 in the cooling box 7 under the action of gravity.
[0029] In practical applications, by setting the height of the mesh conveyor belt 4 inside the precooling box 6 to be lower than that inside the cooling box 7, the lower cake 2, meat cake 1, and upper cake 3 are moved sequentially onto the mesh conveyor belt 4 inside the precooling box 6. Through the action of the conical bucket 8, the three rows of lower cake 2, meat cake 1, and upper cake 3 can be concentrated into one row, achieving the purpose of automatic stacking. Then, they enter the cooling box 7 for overall freezing.
[0030] By utilizing the drop difference of the mesh belt 4 at different positions, the lower cake 2, meat cake 1 and upper cake 3 can move smoothly.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The conical bucket 8 is flared on the side near the precooling box 6. Conveyor rollers 81 are installed on the surface of the conical bucket 8. The conveyor rollers 81 are arranged radially. One end of the conical bucket 8 is in contact with the mesh belt 4 inside the precooling box 6.
[0032] In practical applications, the conical bucket 8 is designed with an flared opening to facilitate the collection of the lower cake 2, meat cake 1, and upper cake 3. The radial arrangement of the conveyor rollers 81 facilitates the collection of the lower cake 2, meat cake 1, and upper cake 3 onto the mesh conveyor belt 4 inside the cooling box 7.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The precooling component 5 is provided in two sets, which are respectively connected to the head of the precooling box 6 and the tail of the cooling box 7. The precooling component 5 includes a connecting pipe 61 installed between the precooling box 6 and the cooling box 7, and a turbo fan 62 is installed on the connecting pipe 61; the turbo fan 62 delivers the cold air in the cooling box 7 to the precooling box 6.
[0034] In practical applications, the meat patty 1 enters the pre-cooling box 6 at one end as the head and the other end as the tail. One set of pre-cooling components 5 connects the head of the pre-cooling box 6 and the head of the cooling box 7, and another set of pre-cooling components 5 connects the tail of the pre-cooling box 6 and the tail of the cooling box 7. This arrangement allows for a gradient cooling of increasingly lower temperatures within the pre-cooling box 6 and the cooling box 7. For example, the temperature on the left side of the pre-cooling box 6 is 35 degrees Celsius, and on the right side it is 15 degrees Celsius. The temperature on the left side of the cooling box 7 is 5 degrees Celsius, and on the right side it is -5 degrees Celsius. Controlling the start and stop of the turbofan 62 controls the transport of cold air.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The side wall of the connecting pipe 61 is provided with an insulation layer.
[0036] In practical applications, the insulation layer can reduce the loss of cold air from the connecting pipe 61.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 The portion of the connecting pipe 61 that extends into the precooling box 6 and the cooling box 7 is equipped with an expansion mask 63.
[0038] In practical applications, the design of the expanded mask 63 facilitates the collection and diffusion of cool air.
