[0017] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a water tank cooling device, comprising a water tank body 1, a bottom plate 2 fixedly installed on the lower surface of the bottom end of the water tank body 1, and a cooling heat exchange pipe 3 fixedly installed inside the bottom end of the water tank body 1. To increase the pipe coverage area of the cooling heat exchange pipe 3 and improve the cooling speed, please refer to the appendix of the specification for details. Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the cooling heat exchange tube 3 adopts a serpentine structure design and is made of copper metal. Copper metal has a good thermal conductivity, which facilitates the heat exchange and cooling of water. In order to continuously inject and discharge the low-temperature heat exchange liquid, a liquid injection port 11 is fixedly connected to the water inlet at one end of the cooling heat exchange tube 3, and a liquid outlet 12 is fixedly connected to the water outlet at the other end of the cooling heat exchange tube 3. This structural design allows for the continuous injection of cryogenic coolant through the injection port 11. The injected cryogenic coolant passes through the cooling heat exchange tube 3 and is finally discharged through the outlet 12, thus enabling cyclical heat exchange and cooling. Based on the above structure, the water tank body 1 of this utility model can be filled with low-temperature clean water for cooling food materials, and the food materials that need to be cooled can be placed inside the water tank body 1. In this way, the low-temperature clean water can fully cover the materials for cooling, ensuring the cooling speed and cooling rate of the materials. Meanwhile, the low-temperature clean water inside the water tank 1 will be heated after multiple rounds of cooling. At this time, low-temperature coolant can be continuously injected through the injection port 11. The injected low-temperature coolant is discharged through the cooling heat exchange pipe 3 and then through the outlet 12. When the low-temperature coolant flows inside the cooling heat exchange pipe 3, it can exchange heat with the clean water in the water tank and neutralize it. In this way, the flowing low-temperature coolant can exchange heat and cool the clean water in the water tank again, thus ensuring that the clean water is in a low-temperature state again and ensuring the cooling effect in subsequent use. The water tank cooling device of this utility model can cool the water in the tank by continuously circulating low-temperature coolant through the internal cooling heat exchange pipe 3. This allows the water in the tank to be cooled and reused in a cyclical manner under the cooling effect of the same material, which has a good water reuse effect, reduces water waste, improves utilization efficiency, and has good practicality. In this embodiment, in order to automatically retrieve the material inside the water tank body 1 after cooling, guide grooves 4 are provided on the inner walls of both ends of the water tank body 1. A material basket 5 is provided inside the water tank body 1. Several drainage grooves for draining water are provided on the outer surface of the material basket 5. Guide strips 6 that are adapted to the guide grooves 4 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of both ends of the material basket 5. The material basket 5 is slidably connected to the water tank body 1 through the guide strips 6. This structural design allows the material basket 5 to hold materials that need to be cooled in water, while the guide groove 4 and guide bar 6 work together to provide a certain guiding and limiting function, thereby improving the lifting stability of the material basket 5.
[0018] In this embodiment, in order to drive the material basket 5 to move up and down, basket side ears 7 are fixedly installed on both outer walls of the material basket 5, cylinder seats 8 are fixedly installed on both outer surfaces of the water tank body 1, driving cylinders 9 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the cylinder seats 8, and a telescopic pneumatic rod 10 is provided at the output end of the driving cylinder 9. The top end of the pneumatic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the basket side ears 7. With this structural design, when food materials that need to be cooled are placed inside the material basket 5, the pneumatic rod 10 can be retracted by the drive cylinder 9. When the pneumatic rod 10 retracts, it can drive the material basket 5 to descend through the side lug 7. After the material basket 5 descends, the food materials inside can be immersed in the clean water of the water tank body 1. The low temperature clean water inside the water tank body 1 can quickly cool the materials, which has a good water immersion cooling effect. When the material needs to be retrieved after soaking and cooling for a period of time, the pneumatic cylinder 9 drives the pneumatic rod 10 to extend. When the pneumatic rod 10 extends, it drives the material basket 5 to rise, thereby automatically retrieving the material from the pool. This achieves an automated material retrieval effect, eliminating the need for manual cleaning of the soaked material during actual use, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers. At the same time, the automatic retrieval of material can also effectively prevent material from being missed during cleaning, improving the usage effect. It has good structural practicality, and the overall structure is simple and more practical.
[0019] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the connection of the injection port 11 and the outlet port 12 to the external injection and outlet pipes, pipe flanges are fixedly installed on the outside of both the injection port 11 and the outlet port 12. This allows for convenient pipe connection work.
[0020] In this embodiment, in order to observe the liquid level inside the water tank body 1, a liquid level window 13 is provided on the front outer surface of the water tank body 1, and a transparent glass plate is installed inside the liquid level window 13.
[0021] Working principle: When the water tank cooling device of this utility model is in use, the water tank body 1 can be filled with low-temperature clean water for cooling. At the same time, the liquid injection port 11 and the liquid outlet 12 can be connected to the external low-temperature coolant injection pipe and discharge pipe, respectively, so as to facilitate the injection and discharge of coolant in a circulating manner. When it is necessary to cool down the meat during food processing, the meat can be placed inside the material basket 5. The material basket 5 can hold materials that need to be cooled by water. After the materials are placed, the drive cylinder 9 can be used to drive the pneumatic rod 10 to retract. When the pneumatic rod 10 retracts, it can drive the material basket 5 to descend through the side lug 7. After the material basket 5 descends, the food materials inside can be immersed in the low-temperature clean water of the water tank body 1. The low-temperature clean water inside the water tank body 1 can quickly cool the materials, which has a good water immersion cooling effect. When the material needs to be retrieved after soaking and cooling for a period of time, the pneumatic rod 10 can be extended by the drive cylinder 9. When the pneumatic rod 10 extends, it drives the material basket 5 to rise. The material basket 5 can automatically retrieve the material in the pool, thus achieving the effect of automated material retrieval. In actual use, there is no need for manual cleaning of the soaked material, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers. At the same time, the automatic retrieval of the material can also effectively avoid the omission of material during cleaning, improve the use effect, and has good structural practicality. Moreover, the overall structure is simple and more practical. Meanwhile, this utility model has a cooling heat exchange pipe 3 installed inside the bottom of the water tank body 1. After multiple rounds of cooling, the low-temperature water inside the water tank body 1 will experience a temperature rise. At this time, a low-temperature coolant can be continuously injected through the injection port 11. The injected low-temperature coolant is discharged through the outlet 12 after passing through the cooling heat exchange pipe 3. When the low-temperature coolant flows inside the cooling heat exchange pipe 3, it can exchange heat and neutralize with the water in the water tank. In this way, the flowing low-temperature coolant can once again perform water-cooled heat exchange and cooling treatment on the water in the water tank, thereby ensuring that the water is in a low-temperature state again, ensuring the cooling effect in subsequent use, and having good cyclic cooling characteristics. The water tank cooling device of this utility model uses an internally installed cooling heat exchange pipe 3 to continuously circulate low-temperature coolant to cool the water in the tank. This allows the water in the tank to be circulated and cooled for reuse under the cooling effect of the same material, resulting in a better water reuse effect, reducing water waste, improving utilization efficiency, and demonstrating good practicality.
