Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling pool technology, and more specifically, to a packaging cooling pool. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the process of processing konjac into konjac noodles typically involves grinding konjac into konjac powder, gelatinizing the powder into a paste, and then shaping it into noodles using a forming device. Since the freshly produced noodles are quite hot, they are usually transported to a cooling tank via conveyor belt for easy packaging. However, in practice, the existing conveyor belts transport the noodles to one end of the cooling tank, causing them to accumulate there. The operator's retrieval station is at the other end, requiring them to first move the accumulated noodles from one end to the retrieval station using a lever-like tool before they can be retrieved and packaged. After all the noodles at the retrieval station are packaged, the operator must again move the accumulated noodles from one end to the retrieval station using the lever-like tool, making the operation cumbersome and requiring improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a packaging cooling tank to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A packaging cooling tank includes a tank body located below the discharge end of a conveyor belt. A liftable hopper is installed at one end of the tank body near the discharge end of the conveyor belt via an installation assembly. The hopper is used to disperse the cold noodles output from the discharge end of the conveyor belt into the tank body. A partition is provided inside the tank body, dividing the interior into a cooling chamber above the partition and a driving chamber below the partition. A movable mounting block is installed in the driving chamber via a driving assembly. Multiple retractable levers are installed in the mounting block via a power assembly. Multiple connecting slots are provided on the partition along the moving direction of the mounting block, allowing corresponding levers to extend into the cooling chamber. The driving assembly drives the mounting block to slide the levers along the connecting slots, thereby moving the cold noodles to the other end of the tank body.

[0005] Furthermore, the partition is provided with vertical plates, which are used to divide the cooling chamber; multiple partition plates are provided along the length of the hopper, which are used to divide the hopper so that multiple discharge ports can be formed at the bottom of the hopper, and the multiple discharge ports are aligned with the corresponding cooling chambers so that the cold noodles can be added into the corresponding cooling chambers in a dispersed manner.

[0006] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a rotatable lead screw disposed within the drive cavity. The lead screw is arranged along the length direction of the drive cavity, and the lead screw thread passes through the mounting block. The rotation of the lead screw drives the mounting block to move along the drive cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting block has a mounting cavity, and a slidable mounting plate is provided inside the mounting cavity. The lower end of the lever is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. The upper side of the mounting block has a through hole communicating with the mounting cavity, which allows the lever to extend out of the mounting cavity. The power assembly includes a rotating shaft located in the drive cavity and rotatable. The rotating shaft passes through the mounting cavity, and the mounting plate is located above the rotating shaft. A cam is also provided in the mounting cavity. The cam is sleeved on the rotating shaft located in the mounting cavity. A limiting groove is provided on the rotating shaft along its axial direction, and a limiting block is provided on the cam that extends into the limiting groove. The rotation of the rotating shaft drives the cam to rotate, so that the cam drives the mounting plate to extend and retract the lever.

[0008] Furthermore, the installation assembly includes an installation frame, with the hopper fixedly installed on the installation frame. A fixing block is provided opposite to the upper side wall of the pool body, and the fixing block has a groove with an open top along its height direction. A slider that can slide into the corresponding groove is provided opposite to one side wall of the installation frame. A vertical groove communicating with the groove is provided along its height direction on the opposite side wall of the fixing block, and a through hole is provided along its height direction on the slider. The installation assembly also includes a threaded rod, one end of which extends through the vertical groove and the through hole. Locking nuts are provided at both ends of the threaded rod, and the locking nuts abut against the corresponding side wall of the fixing block to fix the slider within the groove.

[0009] Furthermore, a first motor for driving the lead screw to rotate is provided on the side wall of the pool.

[0010] Furthermore, a second motor for driving the rotating shaft is provided on the side wall of the pool.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model uses a power component to drive a lever to extend from the connecting groove to one end of the cooling chamber. The drive component then drives a mounting block to move the lever along the connecting groove toward the retrieval station. During the movement, the cold noodles can be hung on the lever, allowing it to move to the retrieval station. When the lever reaches the retrieval station, the power component drives it to retract into the connecting groove. Then, the drive component drives the mounting block to move to one end of the drive chamber, resetting the mounting block. After the mounting block resets, the power component drives the lever to extend again, allowing the cold noodles to move further. This facilitates the retrieval and packaging of the cold noodles in the pool by the operator.

[0012] This invention, by having gaps between multiple discharge ports, allows the cold noodles to be dispersed and discharged from multiple discharge ports when they fall into the hopper, thanks to the separation of the partition plates. Furthermore, by using vertical plates to separate the cooling chambers, the cold noodles discharged from the multiple discharge ports can be dispersed and added to two cooling chambers for cooling, thereby avoiding the concentrated addition of cold noodles and the resulting impact on the operators' retrieval and packaging.

[0022] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-8 This embodiment will be described in further detail.

[0024] Combination Figures 1-8 In this embodiment, a packaging cooling pool includes a pool body 101 located below the discharge end of the conveyor belt 100. A liftable hopper 102 is provided at one end of the pool body 101 near the discharge end of the conveyor belt 100 via an installation assembly. The hopper 102 is used to disperse the cold noodles output from the discharge end of the conveyor belt 100 into the pool body 101. The pool body 101 is provided with a partition 104, which is used to divide the interior of the pool body 101 into a cooling chamber located above the partition 104 and a drive chamber located below the partition 104. A movable mounting block 600 is provided in the drive chamber through a drive assembly. Multiple telescopic levers 601 are provided in the mounting block 600 through a power assembly. Multiple connecting slots 105 are provided on the partition 104 along the moving direction of the mounting block 600. The connecting slots 105 are used to allow the corresponding levers 601 to extend into the cooling chamber. The drive assembly drives the mounting block 600 to slide the lever 601 along the connecting groove 105, so that the lever 601 can move the cold noodles to the other end of the pool body 101. The power assembly drives the lever 601 to retract or extend the connecting groove 105, and drives the mounting block 600 to move to one end of the drive cavity through the drive assembly, so as to realize the next movement of the cold noodles.

[0025] In actual use, cold water is first added to the pool 101 until the water level rises to the cooling chamber. Then, the processed cold noodles are conveyed by the conveyor belt 100, so that the cold noodles can fall from the discharge end of the conveyor belt 100 into the hopper 102 and be dispersed into the cooling chamber of the pool 101 for cooling. At this time, the cold noodles will accumulate at one end of the cooling chamber, while the operator's retrieval station is located at the other end of the pool 101. When it is necessary to package the cooled cold noodles, the power component drives the lever 601 to extend from the connecting groove 105 and into the cooling chamber. The drive component drives the mounting block 600 to move the lever 601 along the connecting groove 105 toward the retrieval station. During the movement of the lever 601, the cold noodles can be moved to the retrieval station by the lever 601, which makes it convenient for the operator to retrieve and package the cold noodles in the pool 101. In actual use, when the lever 601 moves to the salvage station, the power component drives the lever 601 to retract into the connecting groove 105. Then, the drive component drives the mounting block 600 to move to one end of the drive cavity, thus resetting the mounting block 600. After the mounting block 600 is reset, the power component drives the lever 601 to extend again so that the cold skin can be moved. The hopper 102 is mounted on one end of the pool body 101 in a height-adjustable manner through the mounting components, so that the position of the hopper 102 can be adjusted to adapt to the conveyor belt 100 at different heights, so that the cold noodles falling from the conveyor belt 100 at different heights can be dispersedly added into the pool body 101 for cooling through the hopper 102. It should be noted that the width of the connecting groove 105 is smaller than the width of the cold skin, thereby reducing the risk of the cold skin falling into the driving cavity through the connecting groove 105.

[0026] Combination Figures 3-6 As shown, in this embodiment, a vertical plate 106 is provided on the partition 104. The vertical plate 106 is used to divide the cooling chamber so that the pool body 101 forms a retrieval station on both sides. A plurality of partition plates 200 are provided in the hopper 102 along its length direction. The partition plates 200 are used to divide the hopper 102 so that a plurality of discharge ports can be formed at the bottom of the hopper 102. The discharge ports are aligned with the corresponding cooling chambers so that the cold noodles can be added into the corresponding cooling chambers in a dispersed manner.

[0027] In practical use, to ensure that the cold noodles are added in a dispersed manner, the partition plates 200 are arranged opposite each other. The upper half of the partition plate 200 is vertically arranged, and the lower half is bent. The upper half of the two partition plates 200 are close to each other, and the lower half are far apart from each other. This allows for a gap between the multiple discharge ports. When the cold noodles fall from the output end of the conveyor belt 100 into the hopper 102, the partition plates 200 separate the cold noodles, allowing them to be discharged dispersedly from the multiple discharge ports. At the same time, the vertical plate 106 separates the cooling chamber, allowing the cold noodles discharged from the multiple discharge ports to be dispersedly added into the two cooling chambers for cooling. This avoids the concentrated addition of cold noodles, which would affect the operator's retrieval and packaging. It should be noted that when the cold noodles fall into the hopper 102, some of the cold noodles may overlap on the partition plate 200, preventing them from being discharged from the outlet. When more and more cold noodles overlap on the partition plate 200, the operator can use a rod-shaped tool to pick the cold noodles off so that they can fall into the hopper 102 and be discharged from the outlet.

[0028] Combination Figures 6-7 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving assembly includes a rotatable lead screw 602 disposed in the driving cavity. The lead screw 602 is arranged along the length direction of the driving cavity, and the lead screw 602 is threaded through the mounting block 600. The rotation of the lead screw 602 is used to drive the mounting block 600 to move along the driving cavity.

[0029] In actual use, the lead screw 602 is arranged along the length of the pool body 101 and is rotatably installed in the pool body 101 through bearings. A first motor 107 is installed on the outer wall of the pool body 101. The first motor 107 is connected to one end of the lead screw 602 through a coupling. Thus, the first motor 107 can drive the lead screw 602 to rotate. In actual use, the side wall of the mounting block 600 slides against the corresponding side wall of the drive cavity, so that the drive cavity can limit the mounting block 600, that is, the mounting block 600 rotates along the lead screw 602; the first motor 107 drives the lead screw 602 to rotate, so that the rotation of the lead screw 602 can drive the mounting block 600 to move the lever 601.

[0030] Combination Figures 6-8 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting block 600 is provided with a mounting cavity, and a slidable mounting plate 700 is provided in the mounting cavity. The lower end of the lever 601 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the mounting plate 700. The upper side of the mounting block 600 is provided with a through hole communicating with the mounting cavity. The through hole is used for the lever 601 to extend out of the mounting cavity. The power assembly includes a rotatable rotating shaft 603 located within the drive cavity. The rotating shaft 603 extends through the mounting cavity. The mounting plate 700 is positioned above the rotating shaft 603. A cam 701 is also provided within the mounting cavity. The cam 701 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 603. A limiting groove is provided along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 603. A limiting block extending into the limiting groove is provided inside the cam 701. The rotation of the rotating shaft 603 drives the cam 701 to rotate, thereby enabling the cam 701 to drive the mounting plate 700 to extend and retract the lever 601.

[0031] In actual use, the rotating shaft 603 and the lead screw 602 are arranged parallel to each other, and the rotating shaft 603 is rotatably installed in the pool body 101 through bearings. A second motor 702 is installed on the outer wall of the pool body 101, and the second motor 702 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 603 through a coupling. In actual use, since the side wall of the mounting plate 700 slides against the corresponding side wall of the mounting cavity, when it is necessary to drive the lever 601 to extend into the cooling cavity, the second motor 702 drives the rotating shaft 603 to rotate, so that the rotating shaft 603 can drive the cam 701 to rotate through the limiting groove and the limiting block, so that the protrusion of the cam 701 can rotate and abut against the lower side of the mounting plate 700, thereby driving the mounting plate 700 to move the lever 601 upward and extend into the cooling cavity; The mounting plate 700 is fixedly equipped with a counterweight. When it is necessary to drive the lever 601 to retract into the drive cavity, the second motor 702 drives the rotating shaft 603 to rotate, so that the protrusion of the cam 701 can rotate away from the lower side of the mounting plate 700. At this time, the weight of the counterweight can drive the mounting plate 700 to drive the lever 601 to move down and retract into the drive cavity. The side wall of the cam 701 slides against the side wall of the mounting cavity. When the lead screw 602 rotates to drive the mounting block 600 to move, the mounting block 600 drives the cam 701 to move along the limiting groove through the side wall of the mounting cavity, so that the cam 701 can move with the mounting block 600.

[0032] Combination Figures 2-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the installation component includes an installation frame 103, a hopper 102 is fixedly installed in the installation frame 103, a fixing block 201 is provided opposite to the upper side wall of the pool body 101, a T-shaped sliding groove 500 with an upper opening along its height direction is provided on the fixing block 201, and a slider 400 that can slide into the corresponding sliding groove 500 is provided opposite to the side wall of the installation frame 103. The side wall opposite the fixing block 201 is provided with a vertical groove 501 that connects to the slide groove 500 along its height direction. The slider 400 is provided with a through hole along its height direction. The mounting assembly also includes a threaded rod. One end of the threaded rod extends through the vertical groove 501 and the through hole. Both ends of the threaded rod are provided with locking nuts. The locking nuts abut against the side wall corresponding to the fixing block 201 to fix the slider 400 in the slide groove 500.

[0033] In actual use, the fixing block 201 is fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the pool body 101, the hopper 102 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 103 by screws, and the slider 400 is also T-shaped. When the hopper 102 needs to be installed, the slider 400 on the mounting frame 103 is aligned with the opening of the slide groove 500 and slid into the slide groove 500. At this time, the vertical groove 501 and the through hole are aligned. Then, one end of the threaded rod is inserted into the vertical groove 501 and the through hole, and the locking nuts at both ends of the threaded rod are turned so that the two locking nuts abut against the side wall of the fixing block 201, so that the threaded rod can be fixed in the slide groove 500, and the mounting frame 103 can be connected to the threaded rod through the through hole, so that the mounting frame 103 can be fixed on the fixing block 201. In actual use, when it is necessary to adjust the height position of the hopper 102, loosen the locking nuts at both ends of the threaded rod and slide the mounting frame 103 up and down so that the slider 400 can slide in the groove 500. Even if the height position of the hopper 102 changes, when it is moved to the appropriate position, tighten the locking nuts at both ends of the threaded rod so that the mounting frame 103 can be fixed.

[0034] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
