[0002] Baby food is mostly steamed, and there are many kinds, such as soups and cakes. During processing, the ingredients are usually placed in a container, then the container is placed in a steamer, and finally steam is introduced. After steaming, it is taken out and cooled before being fed to the baby. In order to ensure even nutrition, multiple foods are usually steamed at one time.

[0003] Currently, after steaming multiple foods, families often remove them and allow them to air cool. However, this air-cooling process is too long, and different foods have different specific heat capacities, resulting in even longer cooling times. This makes it difficult to feed the baby promptly, and there's a risk of some food being too hot and scalding the baby, or too cold and causing indigestion. To solve this problem, multiple steamed foods are usually placed on the fan's airflow side to accelerate cooling. However, the food is easily contaminated by dust and debris in the airflow, which can be harmful to the baby's health if consumed.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a food processing air-cooling device. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a food processing air-cooling device, including a base 1 and a fan 2. The base 1 is a disc structure. Multiple support legs are fixedly installed near the side at the bottom of the base 1. A protective cover 3 is installed above the base 1. The bottom of the protective cover 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A positioning tube 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the protective cover 3. Several circumferentially distributed partitions 5 are fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the positioning tube 4. The partitions 5 divide the inner cavity of the protective cover 3 into several placement chambers 6. Each placement chamber 6 is not interconnected. Both the partitions 5 and the protective cover 3 are made of heat-insulating material to avoid the temperature in each placement chamber 6 from affecting each other. The placement chambers 6 are used to place food containers (such as porcelain bowls, glass bowls, etc.).

[0024] The top of the protective cover 3 is fixedly connected to an exhaust pipe 7 that communicates with several placement chambers 6. The bottom of the base 1 is fixedly connected to a hood 8. The fan 2 is fixedly installed inside the hood 8. The base 1 has an air passage hole 11 that connects the hood 8 and the placement chambers 6. When the fan 2 is started, it generates airflow, which is delivered to each placement chamber 6 through the air passage hole 11. The top wall of the base 1 is fixedly provided with multiple protrusions located in each placement chamber 6. These protrusions support the container so that the container does not block the air passage hole 11. The hot air in the placement chamber 6 is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe 7, thereby achieving air cooling of the food. It should be noted that because the food container is small, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the food is small, which does not affect the safe consumption of the baby after air cooling.

[0025] The outer wall of the protective cover 3 has windows 31 that are connected to each of the placement cavities 6. The windows 31 are the channels for the containers to enter and exit the placement cavities 6. The outer wall of the protective cover 3 is provided with a door panel structure 101 located at the window 31. The door panel structure 101 serves to open and close the window 31 to prevent cold airflow from entering the window 31.

[0026] Specifically, the protective cover 3 is circular, and the door panel structure 101 includes guide posts 1011 and a sealing door 1012. The sealing door 1012 has an arc-shaped cross-section. Guide posts 1011 are provided on both sides of the window 31. The upper and lower ends of the guide posts 1011 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective cover 3 through connecting plates 10111. The inner side of the sealing door 1012 fits against the outer wall of the protective cover 3, and its two sides are fixedly connected to guide sleeves 1 fitted on the adjacent guide posts 1011 through arm plates. 0121, the window 31 can be opened and closed by pulling the sealing door 1012 up and down. When in use, a sealing gasket 10123 can be glued to the inside of the sealing door 1012. When the sealing door 1012 blocks the window 31, the sealing gasket 10123 will stick to the outer wall of the protective cover 3, thereby ensuring the sealing degree of the sealing door 1012 blocking the window 31. A handle 10122 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sealing door 1012. The handle 10122 makes it easy for the operator to hold and pull the sealing door 1012.

[0027] In this embodiment, a sealing tube 102 with a blind end at the top is sleeved on the outside of the exhaust pipe 7. The sealing tube 102 and the exhaust pipe 7 are screwed together. In specific implementation, the inner wall of the sealing tube 102 is provided with an internal thread near the bottom, and the outer wall of the exhaust pipe 7 is provided with an external thread. When the sealing tube 102 is manually rotated, its up and down movement can be controlled. The outer periphery of the sealing tube 102 is provided with evenly distributed ventilation holes 1021. When the sealing tube 102 moves upward, the air volume of the exhaust pipe 7 increases, and vice versa. Since each placement cavity 6 shares a fan 2, the adjustable height of the sealing tube 102 makes it easy to adjust the air cooling speed according to the specific heat capacity of the food. The sealing tube 102 is made of a heat-resistant material, which means that it is easy to control the simultaneous cooling of foods with different specific heat capacities to a usable state. It should be noted that the position of the sealing tube 102 is obtained through debugging. A sealing gasket 1022 is bonded to the top wall inside the sealing tube 102. When the sealing tube 102 is lowered to the lowest position, the sealing gasket 1022 will block the exhaust pipe 7. Together with the sealing door 1012 on the door panel structure 101, it can prevent dust and debris from entering the placement cavity 6.

[0028] In this embodiment, a filter assembly 106 is provided at the bottom of the hood 8. The function of the filter assembly 106 is to filter dust and impurities. After the fan 2 is started, the air filtered by the filter assembly 106 is sent into the placement cavity 6. The filter assembly 106 includes a connecting ring 1061 and a filter plate 1062 embedded in the connecting ring 1061. The connecting ring 1061 and the bottom of the hood 8 are screwed together. The connecting ring 1061 is a sleeve structure with internal threads. External threads are provided on the outside of the hood 8 near the opening. This arrangement facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the filter assembly 106. The filter plate 1062 adopts a common structure that includes a combination of activated carbon particles and filter cotton. One or more layers of non-woven fabric (meltblown) can also be added as needed to improve the filtration effect.

[0029] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor 103 is installed inside the placement cavity 6. The temperature sensor 103 is fixedly mounted on the positioning tube 4. A wire hole is opened on the outer wall of the positioning tube 4 to facilitate the entry and exit of cables into and out of the placement cavity 6. A controller 104 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the protective cover 3. A touch screen 105 is installed on the top wall of the controller 104. The controller 104 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 103, the touch screen 105 and the fan 2. The temperature sensor 103 monitors the temperature of the food in the placement cavity 6. The controller 104 converts the signal obtained by the temperature sensor 103 and displays it on the touch screen 105 to help the user judge the approximate temperature of the food in real time. The user controls the start, stop and speed of the fan 2 by touching the touch screen 105 and controlling the speed of the fan 2 through the controller 104. There are many types of controllers 104 that meet the above functions in the prior art. The specific model of the controller 104 will not be described in this technical solution.

[0030] Working principle: Before use, connect the controller 104 to an external power source via the power adapter and power cord. Then, manually push the sealing door 1012 upwards using the handle 10122 to open the window 31. Place the multiple steamed food containers into the respective placement chambers 6, then close the sealing door 1012. Manually twist each sealing tube 102 to move it upwards. Manually turn on the fan 2 via the touch screen 105. External air enters the fan hood 8 after being filtered by the filter assembly 106, and then enters each placement chamber 6 through the air vents 11. The hot air in the placement chamber 6 flows upwards into the exhaust pipe 7 and is finally discharged through the ventilation hole 1021. At this time, the touch screen 105 will display the approximate temperature in each placement chamber 6, thus realizing the function of simultaneously cooling multiple high-temperature foods with air.

[0031] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
