Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blanching equipment, specifically a fruit blanching device. Background Technology

[0002] A blanching machine is a piece of equipment used in food processing, primarily for rapidly heating food ingredients using high-temperature steam or hot water. Its basic concept involves heating food ingredients for a short period of time using high-temperature steam or hot water to achieve sterilization, softening, and color and flavor fixation.

[0003] In existing technology, after slicing fruit, it can be boiled in a blanching machine to soften the flesh, which helps it better absorb sugar in subsequent processing, making candied fruit and dried fruit taste sweeter and more delicate. However, after the fruit is treated with hot water in the blanching machine, the fruit's temperature will rise, and most blanching machines lack the function of cooling the fruit, which makes it easy for employees to be burned when collecting the blanched fruit. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, after fruits are subjected to high-temperature hot water treatment in blanching machines, their temperature increases. However, most blanching machines lack the function of cooling the fruits, which can easily lead to burns for employees when collecting the blanched fruits. This invention proposes a fruit blanching device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a fruit blanching device, including a blanching machine, wherein a cooling mechanism is provided on one side of the blanching machine;

[0006] The cooling mechanism includes a support plate, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the blanching machine. A collection box is provided on the top of the support plate. The inner cavity of the collection box is provided with a perforated plate. An installation groove is provided in the inner cavity of the collection box. A fan is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the installation groove. A first hollow groove is provided on the surface of the collection box. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the first hollow groove. An eccentric wheel is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod. A connecting frame is provided on the surface of the eccentric wheel. The connecting frame is located at the bottom of the perforated plate. A U-shaped limiting block is provided in the inner cavity of the connecting frame. One side of the U-shaped limiting block is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the collection box.

[0007] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the collection box, and a motor is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame, and a second hollow groove is formed on the surface of the connecting plate.

[0009] Preferably, a drainage plate is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the collection box. The drainage plate is triangular in shape, and a water outlet groove is formed on the surface of the collection box.

[0010] Preferably, a reinforcement block is arranged on the surface of the rotating rod, and the bottom of the reinforcement block is fixedly connected to the top of the drainage plate.

[0011] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod, and one side of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to one side of the eccentric wheel.

[0012] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the perforated plate, and an anti-slip groove is formed on the surface of the handle.

[0013] Preferably, a baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the perforated plate, and the baffle is in a shape of a double-square frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] The present utility model can perform hot water blanching treatment on sliced fruits through a blanching machine. The blanched fruits are conveyed out by the conveyor belt of the blanching machine and fall onto the upper side of the perforated plate inside the collection box. Then, the fan cools the fruits on the upper side of the perforated plate, so that when employees pick up the blanched fruits, they are not easily scalded. At the same time, the motor can be started to drive the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod drives the eccentric wheel to perform eccentric rotation. Meanwhile, the eccentric wheel squeezes and drives the connecting frame, the perforated plate and the fruits to move up and down together, making the fruits bump. This can not only disperse the stacked fruits to make the cooling effect of the fan on the fruits better, but also make the fruits shake off the residual water on the surface through the bumping and fall to the bottom of the collection box through the holes of the perforated plate, solving the problem that after the fruits are treated with hot water at high temperature by the blanching machine, the temperature of the fruits themselves becomes high, and most blanching machines lack the function of cooling the fruits, resulting in the situation that employees are easily scalded when collecting the blanched fruits, and improving the blanching work efficiency and safety.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0024] This application discloses a fruit blanching device. (Refer to...) Figure 1-3 A fruit blanching device includes a blanching machine 1, with a cooling mechanism 2 on one side of the blanching machine 1. The blanching machine 1 can be used to boil sliced ​​fruit in hot water to soften the flesh and help it better absorb sugar in subsequent processing. The cooling mechanism 2 can receive the blanched fruit and cool it down so that employees are less likely to be burned when handling the fruit.

[0025] The cooling mechanism 2 includes a support plate 201. One side of the support plate 201 is fixedly connected to one side of the blanching machine 1. A collection box 202 is provided on the top of the support plate 201. A perforated plate 203 is provided in the inner cavity of the collection box 202. An installation groove 204 is opened in the inner cavity of the collection box 202. A fan 205 is fixedly connected in the inner cavity of the installation groove 204. A first hollow groove 206 is opened on the surface of the collection box 202. A rotating rod 207 is rotatably connected in the inner cavity of the first hollow groove 206. An eccentric wheel 208 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod 207. A connecting frame 209 is provided on the surface of the eccentric wheel 208. The connecting frame 209 is located at the bottom of the perforated plate 203. A U-shaped limiting block 210 is provided in the inner cavity of the connecting frame 209. One side of the U-shaped limiting block 210 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the collection box 202.

[0026] A support plate 201 is connected to one side of the blanching machine 1 and can be used to support the collection box 202, which is located at the outlet of the blanching machine 1. After blanching, the fruit will fall along the conveyor belt of the blanching machine 1 into the collection box 202 for collection. A perforated plate 203 is located inside the collection box 202 and can be used to collect the fruit. The holes on the surface of the perforated plate 203 also allow residual water on the surface of the fruit to fall down. The inside of the mounting slot 204 can be used to install a fan 205, which provides air cooling to the fruit above the perforated plate 203 inside the collection box 202, making it less likely for employees to be burned when handling the fruit. The inside of the first hollow slot 206 can be used to place a rotating rod 207, allowing the rotating rod 207 to be placed inside the collection box 202. 07 can rotate, and when the rotating rod 207 rotates, it can drive the eccentric wheel 208 to rotate eccentrically. The connecting frame 209 is located on the surface of the eccentric wheel 208 and the lower side of the perforated plate 203, so that when the eccentric wheel 208 rotates eccentrically, it can squeeze the connecting frame 209 to move up and down. At the same time, the connecting frame 209 will drive the perforated plate 203 and the fruit on the upper side to move up and down together, causing the fruit to bounce. This not only allows the stacked fruit to be dispersed, making the cooling effect of the fan 205 on the fruit better, but also allows the fruit to shake off the residual water on the surface through the bounce. The U-shaped limiting block 210 can limit the connecting frame 209, so that the connecting frame 209 is not easy to deviate when the eccentric wheel 208 squeezes the connecting frame 209 to move up and down.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 A fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the collection box 202, and a motor 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 3. The output shaft of the motor 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod 207. The fixing plate 3 can be used to support the motor 4, so that the motor 4 can be stably placed on one side of the rotating rod 207, and the motor 4 can drive the rotating rod 207 to rotate, making the rotation of the rotating rod 207 more convenient and eliminating the need for manual rotation.

[0028] Reference Figure 3, one side of the connecting frame 209 is fixedly connected with a connecting plate 5. The surface of the connecting plate 5 is provided with a second hollow groove 6. The connecting plate 5 can increase the contact area between the connecting frame 209 and the perforated plate 203, making the connecting frame 209 more stable when lifting the perforated plate 203. The second hollow groove 6 opened on the surface of the connecting plate 5 can prevent the connecting plate 5 from blocking the holes of the perforated plate 203, allowing water to flow smoothly to the bottom of the collection box 202.

[0029] Refer to Figure 4 , a drainage plate 7 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the collection box 202. The shape of the drainage plate 7 is triangular. The surface of the collection box 202 is provided with a water outlet groove 8. The drainage plate 7 can guide the water at the bottom of the collection box 202, making the water flow to one side. Through the opened water outlet groove 8, the water can flow out smoothly without accumulating inside the collection box 202.

[0030] Refer to Figure 3 , a reinforcement block 9 is arranged on the surface of the rotating rod 207. The bottom of the reinforcement block 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the drainage plate 7. The reinforcement block 9 can support and reinforce the rotating rod 207, making the rotating rod 207 more stable inside the collection box 202 and not prone to shaking.

[0031] Refer to Figure 3 , a fixing rod 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 207. One side of the fixing rod 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the eccentric wheel 208. The fixing rod 10 can play a role in strengthening the connection between the rotating rod 207 and the eccentric wheel 208, making the eccentric wheel 208 more firmly on one side of the rotating rod 207 and not prone to breakage and damage.

[0032] Refer to Figure 3 , a handle 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the perforated plate 203. The surface of the handle 11 is provided with an anti-slip groove 12. The handle 11 can make it more convenient for employees to take out the perforated plate 203 inside the collection box 202, and the anti-slip groove 12 can prevent the hand from slipping and being unstable when holding the handle 11.

[0033] Refer to Figure 3 , a baffle 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the perforated plate 203. The shape of the baffle 13 is in a shape of a double square frame. The baffle 13 can prevent the fruits on the upper side of the perforated plate 203 from falling easily from the edge when the perforated plate 203 is removed from the inside of the collection box 202.

[0034] Working Principle: When using this device, the blanching machine 1 first blanchs the sliced ​​fruit in hot water. After blanching, the fruit is conveyed out by the conveyor belt of the blanching machine 1 and falls into the collection box 202, finally landing on the upper side of the perforated plate 203. At the same time, the fan 205 is activated to generate airflow to cool the fruit on the upper side of the perforated plate 203, making it less likely for employees to be burned when handling the blanched fruit. Simultaneously, the motor 4 can be activated to drive the rotating rod 207 to rotate. The rotating rod 207 drives the eccentric wheel 208 to rotate eccentrically. At the same time, the eccentric wheel 208 squeezes and drives the connecting frame 209 to move up and down reciprocally. Meanwhile, the connecting frame 209 slides inside the U-shaped limit block 210. Then, the connecting frame 209 will squeeze and drive the perforated plate 203 on the upper side to move up and down together. At the same time, the perforated plate 203 will drive the fruit on the upper side to move up and down together, causing the fruit to bounce. This not only allows the stacked fruit to be dispersed, making the cooling effect of the fan 205 on the fruit better, but also allows the fruit to shake off the residual water on the surface through the bounce and fall into the bottom of the collection box 202 through the holes of the perforated plate 203. This solves the problem that after the fruit is treated with hot water in the blanching machine 1, the temperature of the fruit itself will be high, and most blanching machines 1 lack the function of cooling the fruit, which makes it easy for employees to be burned when collecting the blanched fruit.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
