[0002] In the food processing industry, the thawing of meat products is a key step in the production process. Its thawing effect directly affects the quality, taste and safety of meat products. With the continuous improvement of consumers' requirements for the quality of meat products and the development trend of large-scale and standardized production in the food processing industry, the demand for efficient and high-quality thawing technology is becoming increasingly urgent.

[0003] Currently, traditional methods for thawing meat products mainly include air thawing, water thawing, and microwave thawing. Although air thawing is simple to operate, it has problems such as long thawing time and uneven thawing, which can easily lead to excessive oxidation of the surface of meat products, affecting color and flavor. At the same time, the long thawing process also increases the risk of microbial contamination. Although water thawing can shorten the thawing time, it will cause the loss of nutrients in meat products, resulting in a deterioration in meat quality. Furthermore, if the thawing water is not properly treated, it may also cause cross-contamination. Although microwave thawing is highly efficient, it has problems such as uneven heating and localized overheating, which can easily damage the tissue structure of meat products and affect product quality.

[0004] In addition, existing thawing equipment is inadequate in terms of ease of operation and environmental control. For example, the equipment is difficult to adapt to the thawing needs of meat products of different specifications, cannot effectively control humidity and steam concentration during the thawing process, and lacks complete sterilization and disinfection measures, making it difficult to meet the increasingly stringent hygiene standards of the food processing industry.

[0005] Therefore, developing a meat product thawing device that can achieve uniform and efficient thawing, is easy to operate, hygienic and safe, and has a controllable environment has become an urgent problem to be solved in the industry. Utility Model Content

[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a steam circulation defrosting device for meat products, including a box body 1, a door 2 hinged to the box body 1, a steam generator 3 fixedly connected to one side of the box body 1, a steam inlet pipe 4 fixedly connected to the steam generator 3, a one-way valve 5 fixedly installed on the steam inlet pipe 4, the steam inlet pipe 4 fixedly connected to the inside of the box body 1, a nozzle 9 fixedly connected to the part of the steam inlet pipe 4 located inside the box body 1, and a circulating fan 10 fixedly connected to one end of the steam inlet pipe 4. The circulating fan 10 draws steam into the steam inlet pipe 4 and then sprays it out from the nozzle 9, so as to realize the circulation of steam and air in the box body 1 and make the defrosting environment uniform.

[0031] A steam exhaust pipe 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1. A control valve 7 is fixedly installed on the steam exhaust pipe 6. An exhaust fan 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the steam exhaust pipe 6.

[0032] A support column 11 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. A lifting plate 12 is slidably connected to the support column 11. A threaded rod 13 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. The lifting plate 12 is slidably connected to the threaded rod 13. A limit nut 14 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 13. The limit nut 14 is located below the lifting plate 12 and supports the lifting plate 12. A dovetail groove is provided on the lifting plate 12. A movable plate 15 is slidably connected to the lifting plate 12 through the dovetail groove. Through holes are arrayed on the movable plate 15 for water flow and steam passage.

[0033] A fixed rod 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 15. The fixed rod 16 is U-shaped and a hook 17 is slidably connected to the fixed rod 16. Frozen meat can be hung on the hook 17. A pull ring 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 15. The pull ring 18 is U-shaped and the movable plate 15 can be pulled out through the pull ring 18.

[0034] An ultraviolet device 19 is fixedly connected to the top inside the box 1, and a water collection box 20 is slidably connected to the bottom inside the box 1.

[0035] Both the steam generator 3 and the ultraviolet device 19 are known technologies. Those skilled in the art can easily implement these technologies without conducting creative experiments, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, start the steam generator 3. The generated steam is transmitted through the steam inlet pipe 4. The one-way valve 5 installed on the steam inlet pipe 4 can prevent steam backflow and ensure that the steam flows stably into the box 1. The circulating fan 10 runs to draw the steam into the steam inlet pipe 4 and then sprays it evenly through the nozzle 9 inside the pipe, so that the steam is fully mixed with the air in the box 1 and circulates, ensuring that the thawing environment temperature is uniform and avoiding local thawing of meat products too fast or too slow.

[0037] Regarding the placement of meat products, the operator can pull the movable plate 15 out of the dovetail groove of the lifting plate 12 through the pull ring 18, hang the frozen meat on the hook 17 or the movable plate 15, and then push the movable plate 15 back to its original position. By rotating the limit nut 14, the height of the lifting plate 12 on the threaded rod 13 can be adjusted according to the length of the frozen meat.

[0038] As the thawing process proceeds, the moisture generated by the melting of the meat products drips through the through holes on the movable plate 15 and falls into the water collection box 20 at the bottom of the inner side of the box 1, keeping the inside of the box 1 dry and clean. When the steam concentration inside the box 1 is too high or the humidity is not suitable, the exhaust fan 8 is turned on to discharge excess steam through the exhaust pipe 6 and the control valve 7, maintaining a stable thawing environment.

[0039] In addition, the ultraviolet device 19 on the top inner side of the box 1 works continuously to sterilize and disinfect the thawing environment, effectively inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and ensuring the hygiene and safety of meat products during the thawing process; through the close cooperation of the above components, the device achieves safe, efficient and uniform thawing of meat products.

[0040] The device sprays and circulates steam evenly, making the temperature of the thawing environment inside the chamber 1 uniform. This avoids the problem of meat products thawing too quickly or too slowly in some areas due to uneven heating. It ensures thawing efficiency, maintains the quality and taste of meat products, and prevents nutrient loss or meat damage due to improper thawing.

[0041] The design of the movable plate 15 with the dovetail groove and hook 17 makes it easy for operators to pick up and put in frozen meat. The movable plate 15 can be flexibly pulled out and pushed in by the pull ring 18, which is simple and labor-saving. At the same time, the combination of the lifting plate 12, the threaded rod 13 and the limiting nut 14 supports flexible height adjustment according to the length of the frozen meat, which can be adapted to different specifications of meat products, greatly improving the versatility and practicality of the device, reducing the difficulty of operation and improving work efficiency.

[0042] The ultraviolet device 19 inside the box 1 continuously sterilizes and disinfects the thawing environment, effectively inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, preventing bacterial contamination during the thawing process, ensuring the hygiene and safety of meat products, meeting the strict hygiene standards of the food processing industry, and providing consumers with safe and reliable products. In addition, the through holes on the movable plate 15 cooperate with the water collection box 20 to collect the water generated during thawing in a timely manner, keeping the inside of the box 1 dry and clean, further reducing the environmental conditions for bacterial growth.

[0043] The exhaust system, consisting of exhaust pipe 6, control valve 7, and exhaust fan 8, can be flexibly opened or closed according to the steam concentration and humidity inside the box 1 to promptly discharge excess steam, maintain a stable thawing environment, and avoid problems such as excessive steam concentration affecting the thawing effect or excessive humidity causing mold growth. This creates a suitable thawing environment for meat products and ensures a smooth thawing process.

[0044] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
