Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of white pad processing equipment, and in particular to a dough cooling box. Background Technology

[0002] The noodle air-cooled box is a specially designed air-cooled refrigeration equipment for noodle processing or storage. Its core function is to achieve rapid cooling or constant temperature preservation through forced circulation of cold air. It is suitable for food production scenarios. The noodle air-cooled box is a professional air-cooled equipment designed for food processing. It improves production efficiency through precise temperature control and automated operation and maintenance, but its cost and energy consumption must be weighed.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the Chinese patent publication number CN212352166U, a cutting and cooling device for dough production includes a conveyor belt for conveying dough. A side frame is fixedly provided on the side end of the conveyor belt, and a cutting shaft is transversely passed through the side frame. One end of the cutting shaft passes through the side frame and is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor. The other end extends above the conveyor belt and is coaxially connected to several cutters. The cutting direction of the cutters is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. Thus, the motor rotates to drive the cutting shaft to rotate, thereby driving the cutters to rotate. As the dough is conveyed by the cutters, it is automatically cut. At the same time, since a driving bevel gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the cutting shaft, and a driven bevel gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the connecting shaft and meshes with the driving bevel gear, and a fan blade is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the connecting shaft, the motor drives the cutting shaft to rotate simultaneously, thereby driving the driving bevel gear to rotate. Through the driven bevel gear, the fan blade rotates to cool the dough.

[0004] In actual production, although this type of cutting and cooling device for dough production can also cool the dough with air, it does not have multiple sets of fan blades. This may result in inconsistent cooling effects on the upper and lower surfaces of the dough, which could affect the overall cooling effect and lead to poor performance of the device. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dough cooling box that has a good effect on cooling dough.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a dough cooling box, comprising a frame, a rotating hole inside the frame, a motor fixedly connected to the outside of the frame, a main shaft inside the frame, a driven shaft inside the frame, the output end of the frame motor passing through the rotating hole and fixedly connected to the main shaft, a conveyor belt inside the frame, one end of the conveyor belt being drivenly connected to the upper surface of the main shaft, the other end of the conveyor belt being drivenly connected to the upper surface of the driven shaft, an inclined ramp outside the conveyor belt, a cooling box fixedly connected to the outside of the frame, a feed inlet inside the cooling box, a discharge outlet inside the cooling box, the inclined ramp passing through the feed inlet, a perforated mesh layer inside the cooling box, a top fan fixedly connected to the inside of the cooling box, a bottom fan fixedly connected to the inside of the cooling box, a discharge plate fixedly connected to the outside of the cooling box, support legs fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame, and a vertical box fixedly connected to the outside of the cooling box.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, after the worker starts the motor, they turn on the top fan and the bottom fan respectively. The output end of the motor drives the main shaft to rotate. One end of the conveyor belt is connected to the upper surface of the main shaft, and the other end of the conveyor belt is connected to the upper surface of the driven shaft. Therefore, the conveyor belt starts to move, and the worker places the dried dough on the upper surface of the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt transports the dough to the inclined slide, and it slides down the inclined slide onto the perforated mesh layer. Then the motor is turned off, and the top fan and the bottom fan start to blow air onto the dough on the perforated mesh layer. Since the perforated mesh layer is breathable, the air blown by the bottom fan can cool the bottom of the dough. The cooled dough is taken out from the discharge port. Through the above operation, the upper and lower surfaces of the dough are cooled simultaneously by air, achieving a good cooling effect on the dough.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that a guide plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the frame, and the number of guide plates is two.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide plate prevents the dough being conveyed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt from falling off the conveyor belt.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that a small fan is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the guide plate, and the spacing between each pair of small fans is equal.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a small fan is started, and the dough is initially cooled by blowing air on the upper surface of the conveyor belt.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the conveyor belt has perforations inside, and the spacing between each pair of perforations is equal.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the perforation allows the lower surface of the dough placed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt to be breathable, which helps to dissipate heat from the lower surface of the dough and accelerates the cooling of the lower surface of the dough.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the inclined landslide is externally fixedly connected with a protective plate, and the number of the protective plates is two.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the two guard plates prevent the dough from falling to the ground when it slides down the slope.

[0016] A further feature of this invention is that the air-cooled box is internally connected to a rotating rod, and the distance between each pair of rotating rods is equal.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, after the dough has cooled, the perforated mesh layer under force moves on the upper surface of the rotating rod, causing the rotating rod to rotate, so that the perforated mesh layer carries the cooled dough out of the discharge port.

[0018] A further feature of this invention is that a mesh fabric is fixedly connected inside the air-cooled box, and the mesh fabric consists of two strips.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the mesh cloth can filter the air blown by the top and bottom fans, preventing large dust particles in the air from being blown onto the surface of the dough.

[0020] A further feature of this invention is that a UV lamp is fixedly connected inside the air-cooled box, and the spacing between each pair of UV lamps is equal.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, workers turn on the ultraviolet lamps, and the ultraviolet light generated by the lamps sterilizes the surface of the dough.

[0022] A further feature of this invention is that a cylinder is fixedly connected to the outside of the inclined landslide, and the output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the perforated mesh layer.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylinder is started, and the output end of the cylinder drives the perforated mesh layer to move, so that the cooled dough is transported to the outside of the air-cooling box.

[0024] A further feature of this invention is that: a through cavity is provided inside the vertical box, a baffle is provided outside the vertical box, the baffle extends through the inside of the through cavity, a spring is provided outside the through cavity, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the air-cooled box, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the baffle.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, after the perforated mesh layer moves to the discharge plate, when the cylinder drives it to move back, the worker presses the baffle plate to make the baffle plate contact the perforated mesh layer. The baffle plate scrapes the cooled dough on the perforated mesh layer onto the discharge plate, and the cylinder drives the perforated mesh layer to continue moving back.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] 1. This utility model, through the arrangement of a frame, rotating hole, motor, main shaft, driven shaft, conveyor belt, inclined slide, air-cooling box, inlet, outlet, perforated mesh layer, top fan, bottom fan, discharge plate, and support legs, allows the worker to start the motor and turn on the top and bottom fans respectively. The output end of the motor drives the main shaft to rotate. One end of the conveyor belt is connected to the upper surface of the main shaft, and the other end of the conveyor belt is connected to the upper surface of the driven shaft. Thus, the conveyor belt starts to transport the dough. The worker places the dried dough on the upper surface of the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt transports the dough to the inclined slide. After sliding down the inclined slide, the dough falls onto the perforated mesh layer. Then, the motor is turned off, and the top and bottom fans start to blow air onto the dough on the perforated mesh layer. Since the perforated mesh layer is breathable, the air blown by the bottom fan can cool the bottom of the dough. The cooled dough is then taken out from the outlet. Through the above operation, the upper and lower surfaces of the dough are simultaneously cooled by air, achieving a good cooling effect on the dough.

[0028] 2. This utility model, through the arrangement of a guide plate, a small fan, perforations, a rotating rod, a mesh fabric, a UV lamp, a cylinder, a through cavity, a spring, and baffles, prevents the dough cakes conveyed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt from falling off. Activating the small fan provides initial cooling to the dough cakes as they are conveyed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt. The perforations allow ventilation to the lower surface of the dough cakes placed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt, facilitating heat dissipation and accelerating cooling. Two baffles prevent the dough cakes from falling to the ground when sliding down the inclined ramp. After the dough cakes have cooled, the perforated mesh layer moves on the upper surface of the rotating rod, causing the rotating rod to rotate. The machine moves, causing the perforated mesh layer to carry the cooled dough out of the outlet. The mesh filter helps prevent large dust particles from being blown onto the surface of the dough. The worker turns on the ultraviolet lamp, which sterilizes the surface of the dough with ultraviolet light. The cylinder is then activated, and its output drives the perforated mesh layer to move, transporting the cooled dough to the outside of the air-cooling box. After the perforated mesh layer reaches the discharge plate, the cylinder drives it back. The worker presses the baffle plate, causing it to contact the perforated mesh layer. The baffle plate scrapes the cooled dough onto the discharge plate, and the cylinder then drives the perforated mesh layer to continue moving back. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-4A dough cooling box includes a frame 1 with a rotating hole 2 inside. A motor 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the frame 1. A main shaft 4 and a driven shaft 5 are installed inside the frame 1. The output end of the motor 3 passes through the rotating hole 2 and is fixedly connected to the main shaft 4. A conveyor belt 6 is installed inside the frame 1, with one end connected to the upper surface of the main shaft 4 and the other end connected to the upper surface of the driven shaft 5. An inclined ramp 7 is installed outside the conveyor belt 6. A cooling box 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the frame 1. An inlet 9 and an outlet 10 are installed inside the cooling box 8. The inclined ramp 7 extends into the inlet 9. A perforated mesh layer 26 is installed inside the cooling box 8. A top fan 11 is fixedly connected internally to the air-cooled box 8, a bottom fan 12 is fixedly connected internally to the air-cooled box 8, a discharge plate 13 is fixedly connected externally to the air-cooled box 8, a support leg 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1, and a vertical box 15 is fixedly connected externally to the air-cooled box 8. After the worker starts the motor 3, the top fan 11 and the bottom fan 12 are turned on respectively. The output end of the motor 3 drives the main shaft 4 to rotate. One end of the conveyor belt 6 is connected to the upper surface of the main shaft 4, and the other end of the conveyor belt 6 is connected to the upper surface of the driven shaft 5. Therefore, the conveyor belt 6 starts to convey. The worker places the dried dough on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 6. The conveyor belt 6 transports the dough to the inclined slide 7, and it slides down onto the hollow mesh layer 26. Then the motor 3 is turned off, and the top fan... Fans 11 and 12 at the bottom start blowing air onto the dough on the perforated mesh layer 26. Since the perforated mesh layer 26 is breathable, the air blown by the bottom fan 12 can cool the bottom of the dough. The cooled dough is then removed from the discharge port 10. Through the above operations, the upper and lower surfaces of the dough are cooled simultaneously by air, achieving a good cooling effect. Two guide plates 16 are fixedly connected to the outside of the frame 1. The guide plates 16 prevent the dough conveyed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 6 from falling off the conveyor belt 6. Small fans 18 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the guide plates 16. The spacing between the two small fans 18 is equal. When the small fans 18 are started, the dough is initially cooled by air blowing as it is conveyed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 6. The conveyor belt 6 has equal spacing between each pair of holes 19, allowing air to pass through the lower surface of the dough placed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 6, thus cooling the lower surface of the dough and accelerating its cooling process. Two guard plates 27 are fixedly connected to the outside of the inclined slide 7 to prevent the dough from falling to the ground when it slides down the inclined slide 7. Rotating rods 20 are rotatably connected inside the air-cooling box 8, with equal spacing between each pair of rotating rods 20. After the dough has cooled, the perforated mesh layer 26 moves on the upper surface of the rotating rod 20, causing the rotating rod 20 to rotate, allowing the perforated mesh layer 26 to carry the cooled dough out of the discharge port 10. A mesh cloth 21 is fixedly connected inside the air-cooling box 8.Two mesh fabrics 21 are used to filter the air blown by the top fan 11 and the bottom fan 12, preventing large dust particles from being blown onto the surface of the dough. An ultraviolet lamp 22 is fixedly connected inside the air-cooling box 8, with equal spacing between each lamp. When the worker powers on the lamps, the ultraviolet light they produce sterilizes the surface of the dough. A cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the outside of the inclined ramp 7, with its output end fixedly connected to the perforated mesh layer 26. Activating the cylinder 23 causes the output end to move, moving the perforated mesh layer 26 and transporting the cooled dough to the air-cooling box. The exterior of the cold box 8 and the interior of the vertical box 15 have a through cavity 24. A baffle 25 is installed on the exterior of the vertical box 15, extending into the through cavity 24. A spring 17 is installed on the exterior of the through cavity 24; one end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the air-cooled box 8, and the other end is fixedly connected to the baffle 25. When the perforated mesh layer 26 moves to the discharge plate 13, the cylinder 23 drives it to move back. The worker presses the baffle 25, causing it to contact the perforated mesh layer 26. The baffle 25 scrapes the cooled dough from the perforated mesh layer 26 onto the discharge plate 13, and the cylinder 23 then drives the perforated mesh layer 26 to continue moving back.

[0037] In this invention, after the worker starts the motor 3, they turn on the top fan 11 and the bottom fan 12 respectively. The output end of the motor 3 drives the main shaft 4 to rotate. One end of the conveyor belt 6 is connected to the upper surface of the main shaft 4, and the other end of the conveyor belt 6 is connected to the upper surface of the driven shaft 5. Therefore, the conveyor belt 6 starts to convey. The worker places the dried dough on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 6, and the conveyor belt 6 transports the dough to the inclined slide 7. After sliding down the inclined slide 7, the dough falls onto the perforated mesh layer 26. Then, the motor 3 is turned off, and the top fan 11 and the bottom fan 12 begin to... Air is blown onto the dough on the perforated mesh layer 26. Because the perforated mesh layer 26 is breathable, the air blown by the bottom fan 12 can cool the bottom of the dough. The cooled dough is then taken out from the discharge port 10. Through the above operations, the upper and lower surfaces of the dough are cooled simultaneously by air, achieving a good cooling effect. The guide plate 16 prevents the dough conveyed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 6 from falling off the conveyor belt 6. The small fan 18 is started, and the dough is initially cooled by air blowing on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 6. The perforation 19 allows the dough to cool down during conveying. The lower surface of the dough placed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 6 is breathable, which helps to dissipate heat from the lower surface of the dough and accelerates its cooling. Two protective plates 27 prevent the dough from falling to the ground when it slides down the inclined ramp 7. After the dough has cooled, the perforated mesh layer 26, under stress, moves on the upper surface of the rotating rod 20, causing the rotating rod 20 to rotate. This allows the perforated mesh layer 26 to carry the cooled dough out of the discharge port 10. The mesh cloth 21 filters the air blown by the top fan 11 and the bottom fan 12, preventing large dust particles in the air from being blown onto the dough. On the surface, the worker turns on the ultraviolet lamp 22, and the ultraviolet light generated by the ultraviolet lamp 22 sterilizes the surface of the dough. The cylinder 23 is activated, and the output end of the cylinder 23 drives the perforated mesh layer 26 to move, so that the cooled dough is transported to the outside of the air-cooling box 8. After the perforated mesh layer 26 moves to the discharge plate 13, when the cylinder 23 drives it to move back, the worker presses the baffle 25, so that the baffle 25 contacts the perforated mesh layer 26. The baffle 25 scrapes the cooled dough on the perforated mesh layer 26 onto the discharge plate 13, and the cylinder 23 drives the perforated mesh layer 26 to continue to move back.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
