[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a rapid heat dissipation device for processing puffed food, comprising a main body 1. The main body 1 serves as the basic frame of the entire heat dissipation device, providing an installation and support platform for each component and ensuring coordinated operation of all parts. A mesh chain conveyor 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the main body 1. The mesh chain conveyor 2 is used to transport puffed food, and its mesh chain structure has good air permeability, facilitating initial heat dissipation during transport. A receiving hopper 3 is fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the mesh chain conveyor 2. The receiving hopper 3 is used to receive freshly produced high-temperature puffed food, and its hopper-shaped structure guides the food to fall into the mesh chain conveyor 2 in a concentrated manner, preventing the food from scattering. A discharge port 4 is provided on the lower edge of the outer surface of the receiving hopper 3 near the side of the flat assembly 5. The discharge port 4 is the channel through which puffed food enters the mesh conveyor 2 from the receiving hopper 3. Its position is designed to precisely guide the food onto the conveyor surface of the mesh conveyor 2. A flattening component 5 is installed on the surface of the mesh conveyor 2. The function of the flattening component 5 is to spread the puffed food falling from the receiving hopper 3 evenly on the mesh conveyor 2, preventing food accumulation from affecting subsequent heat dissipation. The flattening component 5 includes a mounting slot 51 and a mounting bracket 52. The mounting slot 51 and mounting bracket 52 are the basic installation structure of the flattening component 5, providing installation positions for other components. The mounting slot 51 is located on the inner wall of the guardrail of the mesh conveyor 2. The mounting slot 51 on the inner wall of the guardrail guides and limits the sliding of the lifting baffle 54, preventing it from shifting during movement. The mounting frame 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the guardrail of the mesh conveyor 2. The mounting frame 52 provides a stable installation base for the electric lifting rod 53, ensuring that the electric lifting rod 53 can work stably. There are two mounting slots 51, which are mirror images of each other along the central axis of the mesh conveyor 2. The two mirror images of the mounting slots 51 can simultaneously limit the lifting baffle 54 from both sides, ensuring the smoothness of the lifting baffle 54 during the lifting process. The electric lifting rod 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 52. The electric lifting rod 53 is the power component for adjusting the height of the lifting baffle 54. It drives the lifting baffle 54 to move up and down through telescopic movement. There are two electric lifting rods 53, which are mirror images of each other along the central axis of the mounting frame 52. The simultaneous operation of the dual electric lifting rods 53 ensures that the lifting baffle 54 is subjected to uniform force, avoiding tilting caused by unilateral force. The bottom telescopic end of the electric lifting rod 53 is fixedly connected to the lifting baffle 54. The lifting baffle 54 moves up and down under the drive of the electric lifting rod 53, and the distance between it and the surface of the mesh conveyor 2 can be adjusted according to the amount of food. The two sides of the lifting baffle 54 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting slot 51. This sliding connection method ensures the smooth lifting of the lifting baffle 54 and restricts its lateral displacement through the mounting slot 51. The bottom end of the lifting baffle 54 is fixedly connected to a flexible flat push plate 55. The flexible flat push plate 55 is soft in texture and can avoid squeezing and damaging the puffed food when pushing the food. At the same time, it can spread the food evenly on the conveyor surface.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A heat dissipation assembly 6 is located on the right side of the mesh conveyor 2. This assembly is a core component for rapidly cooling puffed food, receiving the flattened food and performing efficient heat dissipation. The heat dissipation assembly 6 includes a heat dissipation box 61, which provides a closed space for food cooling, reducing the impact of the external environment on the cooling effect. The outer wall of the heat dissipation box 61 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mesh conveyor 2. This fixing method ensures the relative stability of the heat dissipation box 61 and the mesh conveyor 2, allowing the food to smoothly enter the heat dissipation box 61 from the conveyor for efficient cooling. A feed inlet 62 is provided on the left side of the outer surface of the heat dissipation box 61. The feed inlet 62 is the channel through which the puffed food enters the heat dissipation box 61 from the mesh conveyor 2. Its size is adapted to the width of the conveyor to ensure that the food enters smoothly. A discharge outlet 63 is provided at the bottom of the heat dissipation box 61. The discharge outlet 63 is used to discharge the puffed food after heat dissipation from the heat dissipation box 61 for subsequent collection and processing. A heat dissipation exhaust fan 64 is fixedly connected to the top of the heat dissipation box 61. The heat dissipation exhaust fan 64 can draw out the hot air inside the heat dissipation box 61, accelerate the air circulation inside the box, and enhance the heat dissipation effect. As a result, a spiral heat exchange channel 65 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat exchange box 61. The spiral heat exchange channel 65 can increase the contact area with the air inside the box, improve the heat exchange efficiency, and quickly reduce the temperature inside the box. A refrigerant inlet pipe 66 is fixedly connected to one end of the spiral heat exchange channel 65. The refrigerant inlet pipe 66 is used to supply low-temperature refrigerant to the spiral heat exchange channel 65 to provide a cold source for heat exchange. A hot medium outlet pipe 67 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spiral heat exchange channel 65. The hot medium outlet pipe 67 is used to discharge the hot medium that has heated up after heat exchange, ensuring that the refrigerant circulates continuously for heat exchange. A vibration motor 68 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer surface of the heat dissipation box 61. When the vibration motor 68 is working, it drives the heat dissipation box 61 to vibrate slightly, which can prevent puffed food from accumulating inside the box and ensure uniform heat dissipation and smooth discharge. The front and back of the heat dissipation box 61 are provided with mounting through holes, which provide passage for the refrigerant inlet pipe 66 and the heat dissipation outlet pipe 67. The inner wall of the mounting through hole is adapted to the outer wall size of the refrigerant inlet pipe 66 and the heat dissipation outlet pipe 67. The size adaptation can ensure the sealing of the pipe installation and prevent cold air leakage inside the box and hot air from entering outside.

[0034] Working principle: First, the freshly produced high-temperature puffed food falls onto the mesh conveyor 2 through the discharge port 4 of the receiving hopper 3. At this time, the spreading component 5 starts to work. The electric lifting rod 53 on the mounting frame 52 adjusts its extension length according to the amount of food, driving the lifting baffle 54 to slide up and down along the mounting slot 51, so that the flexible flat push plate 55 at the bottom maintains a suitable distance from the surface of the mesh conveyor 2. During the process of conveying food by the mesh conveyor 2, the flexible flat push plate 55 spreads the accumulated food evenly, avoiding the impact of stacking on heat dissipation efficiency. Subsequently, the spread puffed food enters the heat dissipation box of the heat dissipation component 6 through the feed port 62 on the left side of the heat dissipation box 61 along with the mesh conveyor 2. Inside the heat exchange box 61, the heat dissipation exhaust fan 64 at the top of the heat dissipation box 61 continuously draws out the hot air inside the box. At the same time, the spiral heat exchange channel 65 introduces low-temperature refrigerant through the refrigerant inlet pipe 66, which exchanges heat with the high-temperature air inside the box. The heat dissipated after absorbing heat is discharged through the heat dissipation outlet pipe 67, realizing the rapid cooling of the food inside the box. During this period, the vibration motor 68 outside the heat dissipation box 61 drives the box to vibrate slightly to prevent the food from piling up inside the box and ensure that each piece of food can fully contact the cold air. Finally, the puffed food that has completed the cooling process is discharged from the discharge port 63 at the bottom of the heat dissipation box 61. The entire process, through the coordinated cooperation of various components, efficiently completes the conveying, spreading and rapid cooling of the puffed food.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
