Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of squid thawing equipment, and in particular to a thawing chamber for processing frozen squid skewers. Background Technology

[0002] Squid are marine mollusks belonging to the class Cephalopoda, subclass Diplocopoda, order Decapoda. They have conical bodies, pale colors with light brown spots, 10 tentacles in front of their heads, and triangular fins at the tail end.

[0003] Because squid is a seafood product, it needs to be frozen before being transported inland to prevent spoilage during transport. When thawing frozen squid, the commonly used thawing machines employ a water bath method. This involves installing inlet and outlet water pipes in the thawing container, placing the squid inside a mesh cage, which is then placed in the container. Fresh water is then poured into the container to soak the squid. Once the water temperature drops, it is replaced with fresh water.

[0004] However, the following defects and shortcomings still exist in the application implementation process:

[0005] When a container is filled with water for immersion, the water inside the container is in a non-flowing state. If thawing is done solely by immersion, the time required will be relatively long and the thawing efficiency will be low.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new thawing chamber for processing frozen squid skewers to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a thawing chamber for processing frozen squid skewers. The thawing chamber includes a soaking tank 1, which has a circulating water inlet and outlet port on the side and multiple net cages 2 for holding squid inside.

[0033] The net cage 2 can be placed inside the soaking tank 1 so that the squid inside the net cage 2 is below the liquid level; it can also be suspended on the side wall of the soaking tank 1 so that the squid inside the net cage 2 is above the liquid level.

[0034] An auxiliary air supply assembly 3 is also installed on the soaking tank 1. The auxiliary air supply assembly 3 includes a first exhaust pipe 36 and a second exhaust pipe 38.

[0035] The first exhaust pipe 36 is located at the bottom of the soaking tank 1 and introduces gas into the liquid when the mesh box 2 is placed inside the soaking tank 1.

[0036] The second exhaust pipe 38 is located above the soaking tank 1, and sprays gas toward the net box 2 when the net box 2 is suspended on the side wall of the soaking tank 1.

[0037] It should be noted that: In this device, the soaking tank 1 has an inlet and outlet for injecting clean water into it. Inside the tank is a net box 2, in which squid can be placed. Then, the net box 2 is placed into the soaking tank 1. After soaking and thawing, it is easy to collect the squid.

[0038] For net cage 2, it can be placed directly at the bottom of soaking tank 1. At this time, net cage 2 is submerged in water, and the squid inside are soaked in clean water to thaw them. Net cage 2 can also be hung on the side wall of soaking tank 1. That is, after the squid is thawed, net cage 2 is taken out and hung on the side wall of soaking tank 1 for draining and drying of squid.

[0039] The auxiliary air supply assembly 3 has a first exhaust pipe 36 located inside the soaking tank 1 and a second exhaust pipe 38 located above the soaking tank 1. When the first exhaust pipe 36 is used for air supply, the generated gas enters the water and forms bubbles. As the bubbles rise, they can drive the water to flow, thereby accelerating the thawing of the squid. When the second exhaust pipe 38 is used for air supply, it can dry the squid in the drained state, achieving rapid drainage of the squid for subsequent use.

[0040] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 A support frame 11 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the soaking tank 1 near the bottom. The support frame 11 consists of two right-angled plates, and a storage platform is formed above the two right-angled plates. The net cage 2 can be placed on the storage platform.

[0041] A hanging rod 12 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the soaking tank 1 near the upper opening, while a sleeve 21 is welded and fixed to one side of the net box 2 near the lower end. The sleeve 21 can be sleeved and fixed to the hanging rod 12.

[0042] It should be noted that: the support base 11 is fixed to the bottom of the soaking tank 1, and the net box 2 can be placed directly on it so that the net box 2 does not contact the bottom of the soaking tank 1; while the hanging rod 12 on the side of the soaking tank 1 can be inserted into the sleeve 21 on the side of the net box 2, so that the net box 2 can be fixed to the side of the soaking tank 1 and placed above the liquid surface, so that the water can be drained.

[0043] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 5 The auxiliary gas supply component 3 also includes a main pipe 31, and an external connecting pipe 32 is welded and fixed to the outer circumference of the main pipe 31. The external connecting pipe 32 is connected to an external gas supply source.

[0044] The main pipe 31 is connected to a first secondary pipe 35 and a second secondary pipe 37 at both ends. The first exhaust pipe 36 is connected to the first secondary pipe 35, and the second exhaust pipe 38 is connected to the second secondary pipe 37.

[0045] Among them, a first valve pipe 33 and a second valve pipe 34 are respectively installed between the main pipe 31 and the first auxiliary pipe 35 and the second auxiliary pipe 37;

[0046] The support base 11 is also equipped with a clamp 39 for fixing the first exhaust pipe 36, while the upper end of the soaking tank 1 is fixed with a support leg 310 for fixing the second exhaust pipe 38.

[0047] It should be noted that in the auxiliary gas supply component 3, the external pipe 32 is used to connect to the gas source equipment, such as an air pump, so as to introduce gas into the main pipe 31.

[0048] When soaking the squid, close the second valve pipe 34 and open the first valve pipe 33. At this time, the gas enters the first auxiliary pipe 35 and then enters the first exhaust pipe 36, so that the gas is introduced into the water.

[0049] When draining the squid, close the first valve pipe 33 and open the second valve pipe 34. At this time, the gas enters the second auxiliary pipe 37 and then exits from the second exhaust pipe 38, so that the gas acts directly on the net cage 2.

[0050] It should also be noted that the outer circumferential walls of the first exhaust pipe 36 and the second exhaust pipe 38 are provided with axially distributed air holes.

[0051] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
