Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food thawing technology, and in particular to a rapid thawing device for food testing based on reciprocating motion. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of food processing and testing, rapid thawing of frozen foods is a fundamental and crucial operation. Quick and effective thawing ensures the quality and taste of food while improving processing and testing efficiency.

[0003] Common food thawing methods include natural thawing, water bath thawing, and microwave thawing. Natural thawing relies on ambient temperature, takes a long time, and cannot meet the needs of rapid testing and processing. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to air can easily lead to microbial contamination of food, affecting food safety. While water bath thawing can accelerate the thawing process, direct contact between food and water can easily cause nutrient loss and may alter the original flavor and texture of the food. In addition, the varying degrees of contact between different parts of the food and water during thawing can result in uneven thawing. Although microwave thawing is highly efficient, the limited penetration of microwaves can easily lead to overheating of the food surface while the interior remains incompletely thawed. It may also damage the nutritional structure of the food due to excessively high local temperatures. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a rapid defrosting device for food testing based on reciprocating motion. By incorporating an electric hot air blower, hot air is rapidly generated and circulated through a fixed pipe and a fixed head, evenly blowing the hot air into the defrosting chamber to heat the frozen food, significantly shortening the defrosting time. Workers can easily remove the placement frame for cleaning by simply separating the limiting block and the support block, effectively preventing the growth of bacteria from residual defrosting liquid.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A rapid defrosting device for food testing based on reciprocating motion includes a defrosting chamber. A rotating door is hinged to the front of the defrosting chamber. An L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the defrosting chamber. A motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the defrosting chamber. A reciprocating lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, passing through the defrosting chamber and rotatably connected thereto. A moving block is fitted onto the outer wall of the reciprocating lead screw. A guide rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the defrosting chamber, passing through the moving block and slidably connected thereto. A rack plate is fixedly connected to the rear end of the moving block, meshing with a gear. A rotating rod is coaxially fixedly connected to the gear. A limit block is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod. A support block is mounted on the top of the limit block. A placement frame is fixedly connected to the top of the support block. A heating mechanism is provided on the defrosting chamber.

[0007] Preferably, the heating mechanism includes two fixed pipes fixedly connected to the inner wall of the defrosting chamber, and multiple fixed heads fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the two fixed pipes. An electric hot air fan is fixedly connected to the top of the defrosting chamber. The electric hot air fan is fixedly connected to an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe. The air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe both pass through the defrosting chamber and are fixedly connected to it. The air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the fixed pipe on the left side, and the air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the fixed pipe on the right side.

[0008] Preferably, the revolving door is equipped with a glass door, and a C-shaped handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the revolving door. The outer wall of the C-shaped handle is covered with a protective sleeve, and the protective sleeve is made of rubber.

[0009] Preferably, the rear end of the rack plate is provided with a plurality of teeth, and the plurality of teeth are configured to cooperate with gears.

[0010] Preferably, the rotating rod passes through the L-shaped plate and is rotatably connected to it, and the bottom of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the defrosting box.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting block is a square block, and the bottom of the support block has a square groove, into which the limiting block is inserted.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. By setting up an electric hot air blower, hot air can be quickly generated and formed into a circulation path through a fixed pipe and a fixed head, so that the hot air is evenly blown into the defrosting box to heat the frozen food. Compared with traditional methods such as natural defrosting, the defrosting time is greatly shortened, which meets the needs of rapid food testing and processing.

[0014] 2. The motor drives the reciprocating screw to rotate, which in turn drives the rack plate to move back and forth. This causes the gears and connected components to rotate the food in a "forward-reverse-reverse-forward" cycle, ensuring that the hot air is in full contact with all parts of the food and avoiding local overheating or uneven thawing, thus ensuring good thawing effect.

[0015] 3. The placement frame can not only hold food, but also collect the liquid produced during the thawing process. Workers can easily remove the placement frame for cleaning by simply separating the limiting block and the support block, effectively preventing the growth of bacteria from residual thawing liquid, ensuring the hygiene of the equipment and its subsequent use, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0016] In summary, by setting up an electric hot air blower, hot air can be quickly generated and circulated through a fixed pipe and fixed head to evenly blow hot air into the defrosting box to heat frozen food, significantly shortening defrosting time. Staff can easily remove the placement frame for cleaning by simply separating the limiting block and support block, effectively preventing the growth of bacteria from residual defrosting liquid.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-3 The aforementioned rapid thawing device for food testing based on reciprocating motion includes a thawing chamber 1. A rotating door 2 is installed on the front of the thawing chamber 1 via a hinge. The rotating door 2 is sealed to the thawing chamber 1 to prevent heat loss. A glass door 3 is installed on the rotating door 2, through which the interior can be viewed. A C-shaped handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating door 2. A protective cover made of rubber is fitted on the outer wall of the C-shaped handle to enhance operating comfort and prevent slippage.

[0023] An L-shaped plate 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the defrosting box 1. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the defrosting box 1. A reciprocating screw 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 5. The reciprocating screw 6 passes through the defrosting box 1 and is rotatably connected to it. A moving block 7 is sleeved on the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 6. A guide rod 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the defrosting box 1. The guide rod 8 passes through the moving block 7 and is slidably connected to it. A rack plate 9 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the moving block 7. The rear end of the rack plate 9 has multiple teeth, which are all set to cooperate with the gear 10. The rack plate 9 meshes with the gear 10. The reciprocating motion of the rack plate 9 drives the gear 10 through the meshing of the teeth. The reciprocating screw 6 drives the rack plate 9 to achieve a "forward-reverse-reverse-forward" rotation cycle, so that the food is heated more evenly.

[0024] A rotating rod 11 is coaxially fixedly connected to the gear 10. The rotating rod 11 passes through the L-shaped plate 4 and is rotatably connected to it. The bottom of the rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the defrosting box 1. A limiting block 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 11. A support block 13 is installed on the top of the limiting block 12. The limiting block 12 is a square block. A square groove is opened at the bottom of the support block 13. The limiting block 12 is inserted into the square groove. The cooperation between the square block and the square groove realizes circumferential positioning to prevent the placement frame 14 from slipping when rotating. The placement frame 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the support block 13. The placement frame 14 has the dual functions of carrying food and collecting defrosting liquid.

[0025] The defrosting box 1 is equipped with a heating mechanism, which includes two fixed pipes 15 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the defrosting box 1. The opposite ends of the two fixed pipes 15 are fixedly connected to multiple fixed heads 16. An electric hot air blower 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the defrosting box 1. The electric hot air blower 17 is fixedly connected to an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe. The air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe both pass through the defrosting box 1 and are fixedly connected to it. The air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the fixed pipe 15 on the left side, and the air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the fixed pipe 15 on the right side. The electric hot air blower 17 forms a hot air circulation path through the fixed pipes 15, and the fixed heads 16 evenly distribute the airflow to defrost the food.

[0026] During use, staff remove frozen food from the freezer, then hold the C-shaped handle to rotate and open the rotating door 2, place the frozen food on the placement frame 14, and finally rotate and close the rotating door 2. The electric hot air blower 17 is activated, generating hot air that is sprayed through the right-side fixed pipe 15 and multiple fixed heads 16, blowing the hot air into the defrosting chamber 1. Air inside the defrosting chamber 1 is then drawn out through the left-side fixed heads 16 and fixed pipe 15, creating airflow to heat the frozen food inside and quickly defrost it. The motor 5 is activated, driving the reciprocating screw 6 to rotate, causing the moving block 7 to move on the guide rod 8. The sliding motion drives the rack plate 9 to reciprocate. The rotation of the rack plate 9 causes the gear 10, rotating rod 11, limiting block 12, support block 13, placement frame 14, and frozen food to rotate slowly (the frozen food rotates once clockwise, twice counterclockwise, and finally once clockwise to complete one cycle). This ensures that the hot air sprayed out comes into even contact with the rotating frozen food, resulting in a good defrosting effect. The defrosted water is collected in the placement frame 14. Finally, the worker holds the placement frame 14 and moves it upward, causing the support block 13 to move upward, separating the limiting block 12 and the support block 13, allowing the placement frame 14 to be removed. The surface of the placement frame 14 is then cleaned to avoid residue for future use.
