Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quick-freezing machines, and in particular to a fluidized tunnel quick-freezing machine for food processing. Background Technology
[0002] Fluidized bed tunnel freezers are a type of quick-freezing equipment widely used in the food processing industry. They are mainly used for rapidly freezing foods to maintain their freshness, nutritional content, and texture. They improve quick-freezing efficiency through fluidization.
[0003] During food processing, food ingredients are placed on the conveyor belt on the support surface. A drive motor then moves the conveyor belt, transporting the ingredients into the quick-freezing machine. Inside the machine, a strong airflow is blown out by a fan and cooled by a cooling system, suspending the food in the cold air. The rapid airflow causes the food surface to freeze quickly, achieving rapid freezing. Finally, the conveyor belt exits the frozen food through one side of the machine. However, when food ingredients enter the machine from the conveyor belt, some are tightly packed together and cannot be effectively dispersed inside the machine. This can affect the freezing process and thus impact the effectiveness of the fluidized bed tunnel quick-freezing machine. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that when food ingredients enter the machine body from the conveyor belt, some of the food ingredients adhere tightly and cannot be effectively dispersed inside the machine body, which affects the freezing of the food ingredients and thus the performance of the fluidized tunnel freezer.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a fluidized tunnel quick-freezing machine for food processing, including a support frame, a drive motor on one side of the support frame, a conveyor belt on one side of the support frame, a machine body on one side of the support frame, and a dispersing device on the side of the support frame near the inlet of the machine body. The dispersing device disperses the food raw materials on the conveyor belt through a dispersing plate.
[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: When processing food, the food raw materials are placed on the upper end of the conveyor belt on the support surface. Then, the drive motor controls the movement of the conveyor belt through the drive roller, so that the conveyor belt delivers the food raw materials into the quick-freezing machine. At this time, a dispersing device is used to disperse the food raw materials that are tightly attached to the conveyor belt. Then, the fan inside the machine blows out a strong airflow, and the air is cooled by the cooling system. The food is then suspended in the cold air, and the rapid flow of cold air causes the surface of the food to freeze quickly, thereby achieving rapid freezing. Finally, the conveyor belt delivers the frozen food raw materials out through one side of the quick-freezing machine.
[0007] Preferably, the dispersing device includes bolts, a placement frame, a control motor, a first gear, a placement rod, a second gear, and several dispersing plates. The bolts are inserted into one side of the placement frame to fix it to the support. The control motor is located on one side of the placement frame to drive the first gear at the output end. The placement rod is located on one side of the placement frame. The second gear is located on the placement plate near the first gear. The first gear and the second gear mesh. Several dispersing plates are located on the arc surface of the placement rod.
[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: When using the dispersion device, place the placement rack on the side of the support near the machine inlet, then rotate the bolts to pass through the placement rack and fix it to the support thread, thus fixing the placement rack in position on the support. Then, start the control motor fixed on one side of the placement rack, causing the first gear fixed at the output end of the control motor to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear fixed on one side of the placement rod to rotate. The second gear then drives the placement rod to rotate on the placement rack, and then several dispersion plates fixed on the placement rod rotate and come into contact with the food raw materials on the conveyor belt, thereby dispersing the food raw materials on the conveyor belt and preventing some food raw materials from sticking together tightly. By using the dispersion device, some food raw materials that are sticking together tightly on the conveyor belt can be dispersed, preventing some food raw materials from sticking together tightly inside the machine. This would affect the freezing of the food raw materials, thereby improving the performance of the fluidized tunnel freezer.
[0009] Preferably, the dispersion plate is made of rubber so that it can be deformed.
[0010] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is that by using rubber to manufacture the dispersion plate, and then when the dispersion plate comes into contact with the food raw material and the force reaches a certain level, it can deform, thus avoiding excessive squeezing of the food raw material and damage to the food raw material.
[0011] Preferably, a washer is provided on the side of the bolt near the placement frame to increase the contact area between the bolt and the placement frame.
[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is to increase the contact area between the bolts and the placement rack by using the gaskets to abut and fix them together, thereby improving the fixing effect of the bolts on the placement rack.
[0013] Preferably, the bracket is provided with a positioning plate on the side near the machine body entrance to position the placement rack.
[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is to quickly position the placement rack and the support by fixing the positioning plate near the machine body entrance of the bracket, and then facilitate the subsequent use of bolts to fix the placement rack.
[0015] Preferably, the placement rack has a blocking component on the side near the control motor.
[0016] Preferably, the blocking assembly includes a first round rod, a third gear, a second round rod, a half gear, a coil spring, a fixing plate, and a blocking plate. The first round rod is located on the side of the placement frame near the first gear, the third gear is located on the side of the first round rod and meshes with the first gear, the second round rod is located on the side of the placement frame near the first round rod, the half gear is located on the side of the second round rod and meshes with the third gear, the coil spring is located between the placement frame and the second round rod to reset the second round rod and the half gear, the fixing plate is located on the side of the second round rod, and the blocking plate is located on the side of the fixing plate.
[0017] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: When the first gear is driven to rotate by the control motor, it will drive the third gear to rotate. Then, the first round rod fixed to the third gear rotates on one side of the placement frame. Then, the third gear drives the half gear to rotate. Then, the second round rod fixed to the half gear rotates on one side of the placement frame. At this time, the coil spring fixed to the placement frame and the second round rod deforms. Then, the second round rod drives the fixed plate fixed on one side to rotate. Immediately afterwards, the fixed plate drives the fixed blocking plate on one side to rotate, so that the blocking plate is close to the dispersing plate. Then, when the half gear is not in contact with the third gear, the coil spring resets, thereby driving the second round rod and the half gear to reset, so that the half gear re-engages with the third gear. Then, the blocking plate continuously contacts the dispersing plate to block the flying food raw materials. By using the blocking component, some of the food raw materials that fly up after dispersion can be blocked, so that the food raw materials return to the conveyor belt, thereby improving the use effect of the dispersing device.
[0018] Preferably, a reinforcing plate is provided on one side of the fixing plate, and one side of the reinforcing plate is connected to the blocking plate.
[0019] The aforementioned components achieve the following effect: by fixing the reinforcing plate to the fixed plate and the blocking plate, the connection strength between the two is improved, preventing deformation at the connection point and thus avoiding any impact on the use of the blocking plate.
[0020] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] By using a dispersing device, tightly packed food ingredients on the conveyor belt can be dispersed, preventing some ingredients from sticking together and failing to disperse properly inside the machine, which would affect the freezing process and thus improve the performance of the fluidized tunnel freezer.
[0022] By using a blocking component, some of the dispersed food ingredients that fly up can be blocked, allowing them to return to the conveyor belt, thereby improving the effectiveness of the dispersing device. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" or "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] Figures 1 to 4The fluidized bed tunnel freezer for food processing shown includes a support frame 1, a drive motor 2 on one side of the support frame 1, a conveyor belt 3 on one side of the support frame 1, and a machine body 4 on one side of the support frame 1. A dispersing device 5 is located on the side of the support frame 1 near the inlet of the machine body 4. The dispersing device 5 disperses the food ingredients on the conveyor belt 3 via a dispersing plate 57. During food processing, the food ingredients are placed on the upper end of the conveyor belt 3 on the surface of the support frame 1. The drive motor 2 controls the movement of the conveyor belt 3 via a drive roller, causing the conveyor belt 3 to deliver the food ingredients into the freezer. At this time, the dispersing device 5 disperses the tightly packed food ingredients on the conveyor belt 3. Then, a strong airflow is blown out by a fan inside the machine body 4, and the air is cooled by a cooling system. The food is then suspended in the cold air, and the rapid flow of cold air causes the surface of the food to freeze quickly, thus achieving rapid freezing. Finally, the conveyor belt 3 delivers the frozen food ingredients out through one side of the machine body 4.
[0032] Figures 1 to 4 The dispersion device 5 shown includes a bolt 51, a placement frame 52, a control motor 53, a first gear 54, a placement rod 55, a second gear 56, and several dispersion plates 57. The bolt 51 is inserted into one side of the placement frame 52 to fix it to the bracket 1. The control motor 53 is located on one side of the placement frame 52 to drive the first gear 54 at the output end. The placement rod 55 is located on one side of the placement frame 52. The second gear 56 is located on the side of the placement plate close to the first gear 54. The first gear 54 and the second gear 56 mesh. Several dispersion plates 57 are located on the arc surface of the placement rod 55.
[0033] Figures 1 to 4 When using the dispersing device 5, the placement rack 52 is placed on the side of the support 1 near the inlet of the machine body 4. Then, the bolt 51 is rotated so that the bolt 51 passes through the placement rack 52 and is threadedly fixed to the support 1. The position of the placement rack 52 on the support 1 is then fixed. Then, the control motor 53 fixed on one side of the placement rack 52 is started, causing the first gear 54 fixed at the output end of the control motor 53 to rotate, which drives the second gear 56 fixed on one side of the placement rod 55 to rotate. Then, the second gear 56 drives the placement rod 55 to rotate on the placement rack 52. Immediately afterwards, several dispersing plates 57 fixed on the placement rod 55 rotate and come into contact with the food raw materials on the conveyor belt 3, so that the food raw materials on the conveyor belt 3 are dispersed, avoiding the situation where some food raw materials are tightly stuck together. By using the dispersing device 5, the food raw materials that are tightly stuck together on the conveyor belt 3 can be dispersed, avoiding the situation where some food raw materials are tightly stuck together. Then, inside the machine body 4, the food raw materials cannot be blown and dispersed well, which will affect the freezing of the food raw materials, thereby improving the use effect of the fluidized tunnel quick-freezing machine.
[0034] Figures 1 to 4The dispersing plate 57 shown is made of rubber, allowing it to deform. By using rubber to manufacture the dispersing plate 57, it can deform when it comes into contact with food ingredients and is subjected to a certain amount of force, preventing excessive pressure on the food ingredients and potential damage. A washer 58 is provided on the side of the bolt 51 near the placement rack 52 to increase the contact area between the bolt 51 and the placement rack 52. The washer 58 abuts against and fixes the bolt 51 and the placement rack 52, increasing the contact area and thus improving the fixing effect of the bolt 51 on the placement rack 52. A positioning plate 59 is provided on the side of the bracket 1 near the inlet of the machine body 4 to position the placement rack 52. By fixing the positioning plate 59 to the bracket 1 near the inlet of the machine body 4, the placement rack 52 is quickly positioned to the bracket 1, facilitating subsequent fixing of the placement rack 52 with the bolt 51.
[0035] Figures 1 to 4 The placement rack 52 shown is provided with a blocking assembly 6 on the side near the control motor 53. The blocking assembly 6 includes a first round rod 61, a third gear 62, a second round rod 63, a half gear 64, a coil spring 65, a fixing plate 66, and a blocking plate 67. The first round rod 61 is located on the side of the placement rack 52 near the first gear 54, the third gear 62 is located on the side of the first round rod 61 and meshes with the first gear 54, the second round rod 63 is located on the side of the placement rack 52 near the first round rod 61, the half gear 64 is located on the side of the second round rod 63 and meshes with the third gear 62, the coil spring 65 is located between the placement rack 52 and the second round rod 63 to reset the second round rod 63 and the half gear 64, the fixing plate 66 is located on the side of the second round rod 63, and the blocking plate 67 is located on the side of the fixing plate 66.
[0036] Figures 1 to 4 When the first gear 54 is rotated by the control motor 53, it drives the third gear 62 to rotate. Then, the first round rod 61, which is fixed to the third gear 62, rotates on one side of the placement frame 52. The third gear 62 then drives the half gear 64 to rotate, and the second round rod 63, which is fixed to the half gear 64, rotates on one side of the placement frame 52. At this time, the coil spring 65, which is fixed to the placement frame 52 and the second round rod 63, deforms. Then, the second round rod 63 drives the fixed plate 66, which is fixed on one side, to rotate. Immediately afterwards, the fixed plate 66 drives the blocking plate, which is fixed on one side, to rotate. Rotation 67 brings the blocking plate 67 close to the dispersing plate 57. When the half gear 64 is not in contact with the third gear 62, the coil spring 65 resets, causing the second round rod 63 and the half gear 64 to reset, so that the half gear 64 re-engages with the third gear 62. Then, the blocking plate 67 continuously contacts the dispersing plate 57 to block the flying food ingredients. By using the blocking component 6, some of the dispersed flying food ingredients can be blocked, allowing the food ingredients to return to the conveyor belt 3, thereby improving the performance of the dispersing device 5.
[0037] Figures 1 to 4 The fixed plate 66 shown has a reinforcing plate 68 on one side, and the reinforcing plate 68 is connected to the blocking plate 67 on one side. The reinforcing plate 68 is fixed to the fixed plate 66 and the blocking plate 67 to improve the connection strength between the two and prevent the connection from being deformed by force, which would affect the use of the blocking plate 67.
[0038] Working principle: When processing food, the food raw materials are placed on the upper end of the conveyor belt 3 on the surface of the support 1. Then, the drive motor 2 controls the movement of the conveyor belt 3 through the drive roller, so that the conveyor belt 3 delivers the food raw materials into the quick-freezing machine. At this time, the dispersing device 5 is used to disperse the food raw materials that are tightly attached to the upper part of the conveyor belt 3. Then, the fan inside the machine body 4 blows out a strong airflow, and the air is cooled by the cooling system. Then, the food is suspended in the cold air, and the rapid flow of cold air causes the surface of the food to freeze quickly, thereby achieving rapid freezing. Finally, the conveyor belt 3 sends the frozen food raw materials out through one side of the quick-freezing machine body 4. When using the dispersing device 5, place the placement rack 52 on the side of the support 1 near the inlet of the machine body 4, then rotate the bolt 51 so that the bolt 51 passes through the placement rack 52 and is threadedly fixed to the support 1. Then, fix the position of the placement rack 52 on the support 1. Then, start the control motor 53 fixed on one side of the placement rack 52, so that the first gear 54 fixed on the output end of the control motor 53 rotates, driving the second gear 56 fixed on one side of the placement rod 55 to rotate. Then, the second gear 56 drives the placement rod 55 to rotate on the placement rack 52. Immediately afterwards, several dispersing plates 57 fixed on the placement rod 55 rotate and come into contact with the food raw materials on the conveyor belt 3 to disperse the food raw materials on the conveyor belt 3, avoiding the situation where some food raw materials are tightly stuck together. By using the dispersing device 5, the food raw materials that are tightly stuck together on the conveyor belt 3 can be dispersed, avoiding the situation where some food raw materials are not properly blown and dispersed inside the machine body 4, which will affect the freezing of the food raw materials, thereby improving the use effect of the fluidized tunnel quick-freezing machine.
[0039] When the first gear 54 is driven to rotate by the control motor 53, it drives the third gear 62 to rotate. Then, the first round rod 61, which is fixed to the third gear 62, rotates on one side of the placement frame 52. The third gear 62 then drives the half gear 64 to rotate, and the second round rod 63, which is fixed to the half gear 64, rotates on one side of the placement frame 52. At this time, the coil spring 65, which is fixed to the placement frame 52 and the second round rod 63, deforms. Then, the second round rod 63 drives the fixed plate 66, which is fixed on one side, to rotate. Immediately afterwards, the fixed plate 66 drives the fixed blocking plate 67, which is fixed on one side, to rotate, so that the blocking plate 67 approaches the dispersing plate 57. When the half gear 64 is not in contact with the third gear 62, the coil spring 65 resets, thereby driving the second round rod 63 and the half gear 64 to reset, so that the half gear 64 re-engages with the third gear 62. Then, the blocking plate 67 continuously contacts the dispersing plate 57 to block the flying food ingredients. By using the blocking component 6, some of the food ingredients that have been dispersed and flown away can be blocked, so that the food ingredients return to the conveyor belt 3, thereby improving the performance of the dispersing device 5.
