Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of squid quick-freezing technology, and in particular to a squid quick-freezing and shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] Squid, as an important aquatic product, is widely popular due to its rich nutrition and unique taste. To meet the needs of market circulation and long-term storage, quick-freezing is a key step in squid production. Quick-freezing can quickly pass through the zone of maximum ice crystal formation, effectively reducing the damage of ice crystals to muscle tissue, thereby maximizing the preservation of squid's freshness, flavor, texture, and nutritional value. Currently, quick-freezing of squid mainly relies on equipment such as plate freezers. The core principle of this equipment is to use strong cold air (or low-temperature metal plates) to conduct rapid heat exchange with the squid, causing its core temperature to drop to below -18°C in a short time.

[0003] However, existing squid quick-freezing equipment generally suffers from a significant technical deficiency: the lack of an effective quick-freezing and shaping mechanism specifically designed for the physical characteristics of squid. During the quick-freezing process, squid (especially pre-treated squid such as cut into rings, pieces, or flowers) is prone to bending, curling, collapsing, sticking together, or being squeezed and deformed due to its high water content and soft texture, under the influence of gravity and its own tension, as well as the impact of conveyor belt movement or strong cold airflow. This quick-freezing process, lacking constraint and shaping, directly leads to a serious problem of inconsistent shapes in the final frozen product, failing to present the expected aesthetically pleasing appearance. To address this issue, we propose a squid quick-freezing and shaping device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a quick-freezing and shaping device for squid.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A squid quick-freezing and shaping device includes a box body. Inside the box body, three sets of support plates are evenly installed from top to bottom. Side plates are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the support plates. L-shaped brackets are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the side plates. There are two sets of L-shaped brackets, which are symmetrically arranged left and right. Two sets of sliding grooves are opened on the side walls of the L-shaped brackets. Movable sleeves are inserted into the two sets of sliding grooves. The surfaces of the movable sleeves are connected to limit plates through a hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism consists of two sets of hinge rods, which are symmetrically arranged vertically. Limit frames are inserted between the limit plates.

[0007] Preferably, limit posts are uniformly fixedly installed inside the limiting frame.

[0008] Preferably, a support rod is inserted inside the movable sleeve, and the upper and lower ends of the support rod are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the sliding groove.

[0009] Preferably, a spring is sleeved on the surface of the support rod, and two sets of movable sleeves are provided. The spring is located between the two sets of movable sleeves, and the upper and lower ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the two sets of movable sleeves respectively.

[0010] Preferably, an anti-slip layer is fixedly installed on the side of the limiting plate away from the hinge rod, and anti-slip strips are symmetrically connected on both sides of the limiting frame, with the anti-slip strips in contact with the anti-slip layer.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting plate is provided in two sets, and the top of the two sets of limiting plates has a cross-section from the inside to the outside, and the two sets of limiting plates are symmetrically arranged.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This device is equipped with a limiting frame and a limiting post. During use, the limiting frame can be inserted between two sets of limiting plates and pushed down until the limiting post contacts the surface of the squid, thereby limiting and shaping the squid and improving its appearance.

[0014] 2. The device is equipped with a spring. During use, the distance between the two sets of limiting plates can be adjusted by the elastic deformation of the spring itself, which is convenient for adapting to limiting frames of different sizes. The spring itself clamps the limiting frame between the two sets of limiting plates, which is convenient for limiting the squid. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-4 A squid quick-freezing and shaping device includes a box body 1. Inside the box body 1, three sets of support plates 2 are evenly installed from top to bottom. Side plates 3 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the support plates 2. L-shaped brackets 4 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the side plates 3. There are two sets of L-shaped brackets 4, which are symmetrically arranged from left to right. The side walls of the L-shaped brackets 4 are provided with two sets of sliding grooves. Movable sleeves 9 are inserted into the two sets of sliding grooves. The surface of the movable sleeves 9 is connected to a limit plate 5 through a hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism consists of two sets of hinge rods 8, which are symmetrically arranged from top to bottom. A limit frame 6 is inserted between the limit plates 5.

[0022] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 It can be seen that the limiting frame 6 has limiting posts 7 evenly fixedly installed inside. During use, when the limiting frame 6 is pressed down and moved downward, the lower end of the limiting post 7 comes into contact with the surface of the squid, which facilitates the limiting and shaping function.

[0023] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 It can be seen that the movable sleeve 9 is equipped with a support rod 10, and the upper and lower ends of the support rod 10 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the slide groove. During use, the support rod 10 can connect the movable sleeve 9 and the L-shaped bracket 4, and at the same time facilitate the movable sleeve 9 to move up and down along its surface.

[0024] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the surface of the support rod 10 is fitted with a spring 11, and there are two sets of movable sleeves 9. The spring 11 is located between the two sets of movable sleeves 9. The upper and lower ends of the spring 11 are fixedly connected to the two sets of movable sleeves 9 respectively. During use, the contraction force of the spring 11 facilitates the push of the limiting plate 5 to limit the limiting frame 6.

[0025] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 It can be seen that an anti-slip layer is fixedly installed on the side of the limiting plate 5 away from the hinge rod 8, and anti-slip strips 12 are symmetrically connected on both sides of the limiting frame 6. The anti-slip strips 12 are in contact with the anti-slip layer. During use, the anti-slip layer can increase the biting force of the limiting plate 5, stabilize the position of the limiting frame 6, and play an anti-slip role.

[0026] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4It can be seen that there are two sets of limiting plates 5. The top of the two sets of limiting plates 5 has a cross-section from the inside to the outside. The two sets of limiting plates 5 are symmetrically arranged. During use, the limiting frame 6 can play an auxiliary guiding role during installation through the setting of the cross-section.

[0027] Working principle: When using this utility model, according to the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, firstly, the staff removes the limiting frame 6, then places the squid one by one on the surface of the support plate 2. After placement, the staff manually inserts the limiting frame 6 between the two sets of limiting plates 5 and presses the limiting frame 6 down. The limiting frame 6 moves until the lower end of the limiting post 7 contacts the surface of the squid, thus limiting and shaping the squid. After the operation is completed, the box door is closed and freezing and shaping begin. The operation is complete. The above is the entire working principle of this utility model.
