Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sea cucumber processing, and in particular to a sea cucumber preservation machine for processing. Background Technology
[0002] Before processing, sea cucumbers need to be frozen in a preservation machine to delay autolysis and spoilage, thus ensuring their freshness. In the prior art, a utility model patent with patent application number 202322839293.X discloses a sea cucumber preservation machine, which mainly consists of a refrigeration unit and a preservation box. When preserving sea cucumbers, they are placed in the preservation box, and then frozen by the refrigeration unit to maintain their freshness. However, this method has the following problems: when processing is needed, after the sea cucumbers are removed from the preservation machine, they cannot be processed immediately due to their low temperature; they must wait for them to thaw naturally before processing. This is inconvenient. Therefore, a sea cucumber freezing and preservation machine with a thawing function is needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a sea cucumber preservation machine that can not only freeze and preserve sea cucumbers, but also thaw them, thus facilitating the processing of sea cucumbers. It is easy to use and highly practical.
[0004] This utility model discloses a sea cucumber preservation machine, comprising a base plate, a defrosting box, a sealing door, a refrigerator, and a refrigerator door. The defrosting box is fixedly installed on the upper part of the base plate and has a chamber inside. A loading / unloading port communicating with the chamber is located at the top of the defrosting box, and the sealing door is installed outside the loading / unloading port. The refrigerator is installed at the top of the defrosting box and has a freezing chamber inside, with a refrigerator door on top. It also includes multiple storage mechanisms and a defrosting mechanism. The storage mechanisms are all installed within the freezing chamber of the refrigerator and function as storage units.

Then, the lifting mechanism lowers the housing, causing the sea cucumber bag to descend into the water in the chamber of the thawing box, allowing heat exchange between the water and the sea cucumbers, promoting thawing. When the water temperature inside the thawing chamber is too low, the heater is turned on to heat the water, preventing it from getting too cold. The water temperature is also monitored in real time to prevent overheating. After thawing, the chamber is raised, and the preservation bag is removed. The thawed sea cucumbers are then removed from the preservation bag for processing. Alternatively, the water in the thawing chamber can be used to clean the sea cucumbers before freezing. Before freezing, the sea cucumbers are placed in the chamber, then the chamber is lowered to submerge them. The ultrasonic generator is then activated to promote movement between the water and the sea cucumbers, cleaning them. The chamber is then raised, and the sea cucumbers are removed, dried, and placed in a preservation bag before freezing. The water used for cleaning the sea cucumbers is then drained from the thawing chamber. This method facilitates the cleaning and thawing of sea cucumbers, making it convenient and highly practical.
