Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment, and in particular to a heating and cooling pot. Background Technology
[0002] The current method for preparing braised dishes involves cooking the food in a broth in a pot. After cooking, the food is removed, allowed to cool naturally, and then packaged.
[0003] Because the food is still very hot after being braised, it takes a long time to cool down, which is not conducive to increasing the production efficiency of the braised food production line. Moreover, due to the long cooling time, a larger area is needed to set up a cooling zone to meet the needs of placing and cooling large quantities of food, which requires a large factory area. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above problems by providing a heating and cooling pot, which solves the problems of long cooling time and low production efficiency of braised food.
[0005] A heating and cooling pot includes: a pot body, a heating chamber, and a cooling chamber. A first opening is formed on the top of the pot body. The outer side of the pot body is in contact with and fixedly connected to the heating chamber and the cooling chamber, respectively. The height of the cooling chamber is higher than the height of the heating chamber.
[0006] Furthermore, the heating box includes a first heating box, which is in contact with and fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the pot body.
[0007] Furthermore, the heating box includes a second heating box, and the cooling box and the second heating box are respectively fixedly connected to the side between the first opening and the bottom surface of the pot body, with the cooling box located above the second heating box.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a heating inlet pipe and a heating outlet pipe, the heating box being fixedly connected to and communicating with the heating inlet pipe and the heating outlet pipe respectively; it also includes a cooling inlet pipe and a cooling outlet pipe, the cooling box being fixedly connected to and communicating with the cooling inlet pipe and the cooling outlet pipe respectively.
[0009] Furthermore, a proportional valve is installed in the heating inlet pipe, and a drain valve is installed in the heating outlet pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a cover plate, which is located on the outside of the pot body and fixedly connected to the pot body, and the heating box and cooling box are located on the outside of the pot body and between the cover plate, respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, the pot body is a rectangular pot body, the top surface of the pot body has a first opening, and each side of the pot body is fixedly connected to the cooling box.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate. The inner walls of the two sides corresponding to each corner of the pot body are respectively fixedly connected to the vertical first limiting plate, and the lower part of the pot body is fixedly connected to the horizontal second limiting plate.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a soup extraction pipe and an oil overflow pipe, which are fixedly connected to the pot body and communicate with the inside of the pot body, and the height of the oil overflow pipe is higher than the height of the soup extraction pipe.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes temperature sensors, with the pot body fixedly connected to multiple temperature sensors, and there is a height difference between the multiple temperature sensors.
[0015] This invention has the following advantages: By setting a heating box and a cooling box on the outside of the pot, the braised food does not leave the pot and is cooled directly inside the pot, which reduces the temperature of the food after it is taken out of the pot and makes the food more flavorful; the lower temperature of the food after it is taken out of the pot means that the cooling time of the food is shorter, which speeds up the production line, makes the food turnover faster, and reduces the required cooling area; the cooling box and the heating box are arranged one above the other, and the convection of the broth makes the temperature of the broth inside the pot more uniform, resulting in good consistency of the braised food.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples: The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a heating and cooling pot includes: a pot body 1, a heating box 2 and a cooling box 3. A first opening is formed on the top of the pot body 1. The outer side of the pot body 1 is in contact with and fixedly connected to the heating box 2 and the cooling box 3 respectively. The height of the cooling box 3 is higher than the height of the heating box 2.
[0021] When the broth in the pot 1 is heated to braise food, steam passes through the heating chamber 2, heating both the heating chamber 2 and the pot 1. Due to the rising heat of the fluid, the broth at the lower temperature will convection upwards, thus heating the broth in the pot 1 evenly and braising the food in different areas more evenly.
[0022] After the food has finished braising, the steam supply to the heating tank 2 is stopped, and cold water is introduced into the cooling tank 3 to cool the broth in the pot 1. During this process, the cold fluid sinks, and the cooler broth at the top convects downwards, thus cooling the broth in the pot 1 evenly and ensuring more uniform cooling of the food in different areas. Cooling the food after braising not only lowers its temperature but also allows it to absorb more flavor and improves its texture.
[0023] Furthermore, the heating box 2 includes a first heating box 21, which is in contact with and fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the pot body 1.
[0024] Furthermore, the heating box 2 includes a second heating box 22, and the cooling box 3 and the second heating box 22 are fixedly connected to the side surface between the first opening and the bottom surface of the pot body 1, respectively. The cooling box 3 is located above the second heating box 22. The first heating box 21 and the second heating box 22 heat simultaneously from both the bottom and side surfaces, avoiding the problem of uneven heating of the soup.
[0025] Furthermore, it also includes a heating inlet pipe 23 and a heating outlet pipe 24. The heating box 2 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the heating inlet pipe 23 and the heating outlet pipe 24, respectively. Steam enters the first heating box 21 and the second heating box 22 through the heating inlet pipe 23 and then leaves through the heating outlet pipe 24. It also includes a cooling inlet pipe 31 and a cooling outlet pipe 32. The cooling box 3 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the cooling inlet pipe 31 and the cooling outlet pipe 32, respectively. Cooling water enters the cooling box 3 through the cooling inlet pipe 31 and then leaves through the cooling outlet pipe 32.
[0026] Preferably, the heating inlet pipe 23 and the heating outlet pipe 24 are respectively connected to the water distribution manifold, which is connected to the first heating box 21 and the second heating box 22; the cooling inlet pipe 31 and the cooling outlet pipe 32 are respectively connected to the water distribution manifold, which is connected to multiple cooling boxes 3.
[0027] Furthermore, the heating inlet pipe 23 is equipped with a proportional valve 25 to regulate the amount of steam entering; the heating outlet pipe 24 is equipped with a steam trap 26.
[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a cover plate 11, which is located on the outside of the pot body 1 and fixedly connected to the pot body 1. The heating box 2 and the cooling box 3 are respectively located between the outside of the pot body 1 and the cover plate 11. The cover plate 11 prevents workers from touching the heating box 2, thus avoiding burns caused by accidental contact. At the same time, the cover plate 11 also serves to insulate the heating box 2 and the cooling box 3.
[0029] Furthermore, the pot body 1 is a rectangular pot body, the top surface of the pot body 1 has a first opening, and each side of the pot body 1 is fixedly connected to the cooling box 3, so that the multi-sided cooling is more uniform.
[0030] Furthermore, it also includes a first limiting plate 13 and a second limiting plate 14. The inner walls of the two sides corresponding to each corner of the pot body 1 are respectively fixedly connected to the vertical first limiting plate 13, and the lower interior of the pot body 1 is fixedly connected to the horizontal second limiting plate 14. The first limiting plate 13 and the second limiting plate 14 are used to limit the position of the material frame, so that there is a gap between the material frame and the inner wall of the pot body 1.
[0031] Furthermore, the system also includes a broth extraction pipe 4 and an oil overflow pipe 5, which are fixedly connected to the pot body 1 and communicate with the interior of the pot body 1. The height of the oil overflow pipe 5 is higher than that of the broth extraction pipe 4. When braising meat, the fat in the meat dissolves into the broth, creating an oil layer on top, which is detrimental to the braising of the food on top. Therefore, when there is too much oil on the surface, the valve on the oil overflow pipe 5 is opened, and the oil is discharged into the pot body 1 through the oil overflow pipe 5. After the day's work is finished braising the food, the broth in the pot body 1 is discharged through the broth extraction pipe 4 and stored in a cold storage.
[0032] Furthermore, it also includes temperature sensors 6, with the pot body 1 fixedly connected to multiple temperature sensors 6, and there are height differences between the multiple temperature sensors 6. The average value of multiple temperature sensors 6 at different locations is taken, resulting in a more accurate result.
[0033] The present invention has been described above by way of example, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any modifications or variations made based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
