Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a raw material thawing device for pet food processing. Background Technology
[0002] Food processing raw material thawing equipment is a type of machinery used to quickly and evenly thaw frozen food raw materials to a suitable processing temperature. This type of equipment plays a crucial role in the food processing industry, improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and reducing nutrient loss and microbial contamination during the thawing process. Existing constant-temperature thawing equipment is suitable for thawing small samples or small quantities of food, but its efficiency is insufficient for thawing large quantities or large-scale foods. Microwave thawing equipment is not suitable for foods containing metallic components, limiting its application range.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5The illustrated raw material thawing device for pet food processing includes a support plate 1. A thawing tank 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate 1. A heating tube 3 is installed in the internal interlayer of the thawing tank 2. A water inlet 4 is fixedly connected through the side wall of the thawing tank 2, and the water inlet 4 connects to the interior of the thawing tank 2. A motor 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate 1. A winding reel 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 6 via a coupling. A support rod 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the thawing tank 2. A crossbar 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support rod 9. A guide plate 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the crossbar 10. A storage tank 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the thawing tank 2. A connector 12 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the storage tank 13. A connecting rope 8 is fixedly connected between the inner wall of the winding reel 7 and the upper end of the connector 12. The connecting rope 8 cooperates with the guide plate 11. A protective door 14 is hinged to the side wall of the storage tank 13. When raw materials need to be thawed, the protective door 14 is opened, the raw materials to be thawed are placed into the storage tank 13, and then the protective door 14 is closed. The protective door 14 drives the motor 6, which is a worm gear reducer motor with a self-locking function, model WPS100. The output of the motor 6 drives the winding reel 7 to rotate. The rotation of the winding reel 7, in conjunction with the guide plate 11, releases the connecting rope 8, causing the connector 12 to slide downward. The downward sliding of the connector 12 causes the storage tank 13 to slide downward. When the lower end of the storage tank 13 reaches the bottom of the thawing tank 2, water is poured into the thawing tank 2 through the water inlet 4. The heating tube 3 is turned on to heat the water at a constant temperature. The storage tank 13 and the protective door 14 are made of a mesh structure, allowing water to enter the storage tank 13 and immerse the raw materials for constant temperature thawing. After thawing is completed, the drive motor 6 rotates in the opposite direction. The reverse rotation of the motor 6 drives the winding reel 7 to rotate in the opposite direction, in conjunction with the guide plate 11, to tighten the connecting rope 8, thereby causing the storage tank 13 to slide upward, opening the protective door 14, and allowing the thawed raw materials to be taken out.
[0026] The storage tank 13 has multiple detachable support plates 15 inside. When multiple raw materials need to be thawed, the protective door 14 is opened, the multiple support plates 15 are placed in the inner wall of the storage tank 13, the multiple raw materials are placed on the upper part of the support plates 15 respectively, the protective door 14 is closed, and the multiple raw materials can be thawed at the same time.
[0027] A water outlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected through the inside of the support plate 1. The water outlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected through the inside of the thawing tank 2. The water outlet pipe 5 connects to the inside of the thawing tank 2. When thawing is completed, the water outlet pipe 5 switch is opened to release water through the water outlet pipe 5. When all the water in the thawing tank 2 has drained, the water outlet pipe 5 switch is closed.
[0028] An extension plate 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the thawing tank 2. An air pump 17 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the extension plate 16. An air inlet pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the air pump 17. The air inlet pipe 18 connects to the inside of the thawing tank 2. When thawing raw materials, the air pump 17 is started. The air pump 17 draws in air and pumps it into the thawing tank 2, causing a large number of bubbles to be generated in the water in the thawing tank 2. When the bubbles rise, they generate turbulence, which breaks the surface tension of the water, causes the water molecules to move violently, accelerates the heat transfer efficiency, and improves the thawing efficiency.
[0029] A filter plate 20 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 5. A filter cotton core 21 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the filter plate 20. A debris storage box 22 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 5. When water is released through the water outlet pipe 5, the filter cotton core 21 in the inner wall of the filter plate 20 filters out the debris in the raw material. When the water in the thawing tank 2 runs out, the filtered debris falls into the debris storage box 22. The debris storage box 22 can be removed to collect and process the debris, preventing the debris from accumulating and clogging the water outlet pipe 5 or the subsequent drainage system.
[0030] Multiple support columns 19 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 1. The multiple support columns 19 support the entire device and ensure the stability of the device during operation.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When raw materials need to be thawed, open the protective door 14, place the raw materials to be thawed into the storage tank 13, and then close the protective door 14. Drive the motor 6, and the output end of the motor 6 drives the take-up reel 7 to rotate. The rotation of the take-up reel 7, in conjunction with the guide plate 11, releases the connecting rope 8, causing the connector 12 to slide downward. The downward sliding of the connector 12 causes the storage tank 13 to slide downward. When the lower end of the storage tank 13 reaches the bottom of the thawing tank 2, water is poured into the thawing tank 2 from the water inlet 4. The heating tube 3 is turned on to heat the water at a constant temperature. The storage tank 13 and the protective door 14 are made of a mesh structure, allowing water to enter the storage tank 13 and immerse the raw materials for constant temperature thawing. After thawing is completed, drive the motor 6, and the output end of the motor 6 rotates in the opposite direction. The reverse rotation of the output end of the motor 6 drives the take-up reel 7 to rotate in the opposite direction, in conjunction with the guide plate 11, to tighten the connecting rope 8, thereby causing the storage tank 13 to slide upward. Open the protective door 14 and take out the thawed raw materials.
[0032] When multiple raw materials need to be thawed, open the protective door 14, place multiple material support plates 15 inside the storage tank 13, place the multiple raw materials on the upper part of the material support plates 15 respectively, close the protective door 14, and the multiple raw materials can be thawed at the same time.
[0033] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
