Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food thawing technology, specifically a water soaking tank for thawing pet food raw materials. Background Technology

[0002] Food thawing refers to the process of melting the ice crystals in frozen food ingredients (such as meat, seafood, vegetables, and fruits) using specific methods and techniques, restoring them to their pre-freezing state or a state suitable for processing and cooking. This is a crucial step before food processing, storage, and cooking, aiming to make the ingredients easier to cut, season, and cook, while preserving nutrients, taste, and quality to the greatest extent possible.

[0003] When thawing pet food ingredients, the water immersion method is usually used. This method involves immersing the frozen food ingredients in water, allowing the ice crystals to melt through heat conduction. However, after the food ingredients are completely thawed, the water in the immersion tank cannot be drained in time, resulting in the thawed pet food ingredients remaining soaked in water for a long time. This has many negative impacts on the quality, nutrition, and safety of the ingredients. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a water immersion tank for thawing pet food ingredients, including a thawing box 1. The thawing box 1 includes an upper water immersion tank 2 and a lower control tank 3. Rotating shafts 4 are rotatably installed inside both sides of the water immersion tank 2, and a placement cylinder 5 is fixedly welded between the rotating shafts 4. By placing the food ingredients in the placement cylinder 5, the rotating shafts 4 drive the placement cylinder 5 to rotate, thereby driving the food ingredients inside to rotate and accelerating the thawing speed. A first bevel gear 9 is rotatably installed inside one side of the control tank 3. A transmission belt 8 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 4 at the tail of the first bevel gear 9. A second bevel gear 10 is meshed and connected to one side of the first bevel gear 9. The tail of the second bevel gear 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the thawing box 1. A first threaded rod 11 is fixedly welded to the upper part of the second bevel gear 10. The upper part of the first threaded rod 11 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the control tank 3. A first lug 13 is threaded on the outer side of the first threaded rod 11. A first sliding rod 12 is fixedly welded to the other side of the control tank 3. A first lug 13 is slidably installed on the outer side of the first sliding rod 12. Ear 13, lifting plate 14 is fixedly welded between the first ear 13 on both sides. Three sets of connecting holes 31 are opened between the water immersion tank 2 and the control tank 3. Three sets of mounting rods 15 are fixedly welded to the upper part of the lifting plate 14, facing the connecting holes 31. The upper part of the mounting rod 15 is threaded with a plug rod 16. Before the food raw material is thawed, the lifting plate 14 is at the uppermost side of the control tank 3. The mounting rods 15 drive the plug rods 16 to block the connecting holes 31, so that the water in the water immersion tank 2 cannot flow into the control tank 3. When the rotating shaft 4 drives the placement cylinder 5 to rotate. The transmission belt 8 drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate, and the second bevel gear 10 drives the first threaded rod 11 to rotate, thereby driving the first lug 13 to move downward along the first sliding rod 12. The lifting plate 14 drives the blocking rod 16 to move downward through the mounting rod 15. After the blocking rod 16 disengages from the connecting hole 31, water flows from the water immersion tank 2 into the control tank 3. By adjusting the height of the blocking rod 16 up and down along the mounting rod 15, the time when the blocking rod 16 disengages from the connecting hole 31 is controlled, thereby controlling the thawing time of the food raw materials in the placement cylinder 5.

[0023] A mounting bracket 6 is fixedly welded to one side of the lower part of the thawing box 1. A motor 7 is installed on the upper flange of the mounting bracket 6. The power end of the motor 7 is connected to the coupling at the tail of the first bevel gear 9. The motor 7 drives the first bevel gear 9, which drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate through the transmission belt 8, thereby providing power for the operation of the equipment.

[0024] Several sets of rubber sheets 17 are fixedly welded to the outside of the plug rod 16 to improve the sealing between the plug rod 16 and the connecting hole 31;

[0025] The front of the defrosting box 1 is connected to a door 20 facing the upper part of the control slot 3 via a rotating shaft, which makes it easy to open the control slot 3 and adjust the height of the stop rod 16.

[0026] A water outlet pipe 21, which communicates with the lower part of the control tank 3, is fixedly welded to the front side of the defrosting box 1. Water discharged into the control tank 3 is discharged and collected through the water outlet pipe 21 to prevent excessive water accumulation in the control tank 3 and the growth of bacteria.

[0027] A first connecting frame 18 is fixedly welded to the upper part of the lower wall of the water immersion tank 2, and a filter screen 19 is fixedly welded to the upper part of the first connecting frame 18 to filter the water entering the control tank 3 through the connecting hole 31, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the water in the control tank 3 and improve the service life of the internal structure.

[0028] A second connecting frame 23 is fixedly welded to both sides of the placement cylinder 5 and the outside of the rotating shaft 4. A second sliding rod 24 is fixedly welded inside one side of the second connecting frame 23. Two sets of second lugs 27 are slidably installed on the outside of the second sliding rod 24. Two sets of second threaded rods 25 are rotatably connected between the two sides of the second connecting frame 23 and the rotating shaft 4. The second lugs 27 on the other side are threadedly installed on the outside of the second threaded rods 25. Four sets of moving grooves 26 are opened on both sides of the placement cylinder 5. A third connecting frame 28 is fixedly welded to one side of the second lugs 27 facing each other through the moving grooves 26. By rotating the second threaded rods 25, the second lugs 27 are moved along the moving grooves 26, so that the two sides of the food raw material are placed inside the third connecting frame 28 according to the size of the food raw material. Several sets of third threaded rods 29 are threadedly installed inside one side of the third connecting frame 28. A rubber pad 30 is rotatably connected to the tail of the third threaded rod 29. By rotating the third threaded rods 29, the rubber pad 30 is pressed against the two sides of the food raw material, thereby fixing the food raw material and facilitating the rotation of the food raw material by the placement cylinder 5.

[0029] The outer side of the placement cylinder 5 is connected to a cylinder door 22 via a rotating shaft, which makes it easy to open the placement cylinder 5 and put and take out food ingredients from the placement cylinder 5.

[0030] Working principle: When in use, the second threaded rod 25 is rotated to drive the second ear 27 to move along the moving groove 26, so that the two sides of the food raw material are placed inside the third connecting frame 28 according to the size of the food raw material. By rotating the third threaded rod 29, the rubber pad 30 is pressed against the two sides of the food raw material, thereby fixing the food raw material.

[0031] Motor 7 drives the first bevel gear 9, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate via the transmission belt 8. This causes the food ingredients inside the placement cylinder 5 to rotate, improving their thawing efficiency. Simultaneously, the first bevel gear 9 rotates, and the second bevel gear 10 drives the first threaded rod 11 to rotate, thereby causing the first lug 13 to move downward along the first sliding rod 12. The lifting plate 14 drives the blocking rod 16 to move downward via the mounting rod 15. After the blocking rod 16 disengages from the connecting hole 31, water flows from the water immersion tank 2 into the control tank 3. By adjusting the height of the blocking rod 16 along the mounting rod 15, the time it takes for the blocking rod 16 to disengage from the connecting hole 31 is controlled, thus controlling the thawing time of the food ingredients in the placement cylinder 5. This ensures that the water in the water immersion tank 2 is drained in time after complete thawing, preventing the food ingredients from being soaked in water for a long time.
