Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a dewatering cart for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, the draining process after washing ingredients is a crucial step in ensuring food hygiene and processing efficiency. Existing draining equipment suffers from the following shortcomings: First, traditional draining devices are mostly fixed structures, inconvenient to move, and difficult to adapt to multi-station processing needs, increasing labor costs during ingredient transfer. Second, draining efficiency is low, relying on natural drying leads to longer processing cycles, especially for tuberous and leafy vegetables, where residual moisture easily promotes microbial growth. Third, draining mesh is often fixed and cumbersome to install or disassemble, difficult to clean and maintain, and prone to creating unsanitary corners, failing to meet food-grade cleanliness standards. Fourth, the drainage structure design is unreasonable, resulting in widespread water accumulation and easy contamination of pipes by food debris during drainage. Fifth, the mesh limiting mechanism lacks stability, easily wobbling during draining or movement, affecting the draining effect and even causing food spillage.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need to develop a dewatering device for food processing that combines portability, high efficiency in drainage, ease of cleaning, and structural stability, in order to meet the dual requirements of modern food processing for hygiene standards and production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] 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.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a dewatering cart for food processing is described. The specific implementation of this dewatering cart for food processing is as follows: In terms of overall structure, the mobile vehicle body 1 is the basic supporting component. A storage cylinder 2 is installed on the top of the mobile vehicle body. The storage cylinder 2 is used to place the food to be drained. A cover 6 is installed on the top of the storage cylinder. A detachable dewatering mesh plate is set at the bottom of the storage cylinder. A certain space is reserved between the dewatering mesh plate and the bottom of the storage cylinder to form a dewatering cavity for temporary storage of the drained water.

[0030] The bottom of the storage cylinder is designed with an inclined structure, and a drain outlet 5 is opened at the lowest point of the bottom, which communicates with the drainage chamber. A removable filter element is embedded inside the drain outlet 5. The filter element can be a filter screen or other structure, used to filter food residue in the water. The bottom of the mobile vehicle is equipped with casters with braking function, which enable the equipment to move. The equipment can be fixed by pressing the brake device.

[0031] For the limiting mechanism 4, a T-shaped screw limiting structure is adopted. Specifically, an internal threaded hole 16 adapted to the T-shaped adjusting screw is opened in the inner wall of the storage cylinder, and at least two symmetrically distributed T-shaped adjusting screws are set. The T-shaped adjusting screws pass through the side wall of the storage cylinder through the threaded connection. Its lateral gripping part 17 is located outside the storage cylinder, which is convenient for the operator to rotate and adjust. The longitudinal screw part 15 extends into the inside of the storage cylinder and its lower end corresponds to the top of the drain screen. By rotating the lateral gripping part, the longitudinal screw part is extended and retracted, thereby limiting and fixing or loosening the top of the drain screen.

[0032] The storage cylinder adopts a flip-up structure and is installed on the mobile vehicle. One side of the storage cylinder 2 is rotatably connected to the mobile vehicle via a support shaft 8. A U-shaped opening support groove 9 is provided on the mobile vehicle corresponding to the other side of the storage cylinder. A support column 10 that cooperates with the U-shaped opening support groove is installed on the storage cylinder. The support column is inserted into the U-shaped opening support groove to achieve stable placement of the storage cylinder in the working state. A flip handle 7 is installed on the top of the storage cylinder. By holding the flip handle and lifting it upward, the storage cylinder can be rotated around the support shaft, which is convenient for pouring out the internal food.

[0033] The vibration mechanism consists of a vibration motor 12 fixed to the bottom of the drain mesh and a buffer spring 11. The vibration motor is fixed to the bottom of the drain mesh by bolts or other means. The two ends of the buffer spring are connected to the bottom of the drain mesh and the bottom of the inner wall of the storage cylinder, respectively. When the vibration motor works, it drives the drain mesh to vibrate. The buffer spring can reduce the impact of vibration on the storage cylinder.

[0034] The drain mesh 3 adopts a hollow weight-reducing structure, consisting of an outer frame 18 and an inner mesh 19. The inner mesh has a hollow design to reduce the weight of the mesh. Symmetrically arranged foldable handles are set on the outer frame. The handles are hinged to the frame and include a rotating shaft 21 hinged to the outer frame and an arc-shaped handle 20. The surface of the handle is covered with a food-grade silicone sleeve. The frame has a storage groove that fits the handle. When the handle is not in use, it can be flipped to be flush with the surface of the mesh and stored in the groove. When in use, it can be flipped out for easy handling.

[0035] A foldable and retractable drain hose 13 is connected to the drain outlet. A manual shut-off valve is connected in series in the middle of the drain hose to control the opening and closing of the drain. A quick connector with a sealing ring is provided at the end of the drain hose for easy connection with other drain pipes. A hook-type pipe clamp 14 is installed on the outer wall of the storage cylinder at the position corresponding to the drain outlet. When the drain hose is not in use, it can be rolled up and hung on the hook-type pipe clamp for fixation.

[0036] To use, place the food to be drained on the draining mesh plate and secure it using the T-shaped screw limiting structure. Turn on the vibration motor, and the draining mesh plate will vibrate to accelerate the draining process. The drained water will fall through the mesh plate into the draining chamber and be guided by the inclined bottom of the cylinder to the drain outlet. After being filtered by the filter element, open the manual shut-off valve, and the water will be discharged through the drain hose. After draining is complete, turn off the vibration motor, loosen the limiting mechanism, and remove the draining mesh plate for cleaning using the handle, or hold the flip handle to flip the storage cylinder to empty the food. When moving the equipment, release the universal wheel brake, push the equipment to the desired position, and then lock the brake.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
