Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of kelp processing equipment, specifically a kelp blanching equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Kelp is a type of marine algae that grows in cold seawater. It contains abundant beneficial components such as iodine and calcium. Kelp products, including kelp strips, kelp rolls, kelp knots, and kelp knots, are very popular. During kelp processing, fresh kelp is often blanched in boiling water after washing to turn it green. Currently, the blanching process typically involves manually placing the kelp into a pot of boiling water.

[0003] Existing technologies have a problem where long kelp sections tend to pile up during the blanching process, resulting in some sections not being properly blanched. This leads to poor processing quality and a decline in the taste and texture of the long kelp. To address this, we propose a kelp blanching device. Utility Model Content

[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5This utility model provides a technical solution: a kelp blanching device, including a blanching tank 1 and a heater 3. The inner end of the blanching tank 1 is provided with multiple sets of kelp supporting mechanisms 2 evenly distributed. The middle of the upper end of the blanching tank 1 is provided with a kelp clamping and stretching mechanism 6. The left side of the front end of the blanching tank 1 is provided with a water adding component 4. The lower right side of the blanching tank 1 is provided with a water discharging component 5.

The water adding component 4 is used to add water into the blanching tank 1. The water discharging component 5 is used to release the water from the blanching tank 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, the kelp clamping and stretching mechanism 6 includes a U-shaped frame 61. A cooking tank 1 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the U-shaped frame 61. A sliding groove 62 is provided in the middle of the lower end of the U-shaped frame 61. A stepper motor 63 is fixedly installed in the middle of the rear end of the U-shaped frame 61. A rotating rod 64 is fixedly installed at the front end of the stepper motor 63. A moving block 65 is threadedly connected to the outer end of the rotating rod 64. The sliding groove 62 is slidably connected to the outer end of the moving block 65. Opening slots 66 are provided through both sides of the moving block 65. A guide post 67 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the opening slot 66. A guide sleeve 68 is slidably connected to the outer end of the guide post 67. A spring 610 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the guide sleeve 68, and the opening slot 66 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the spring 610. L-shaped fixing strips 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the guide sleeve 68. 9. A movable clamping plate 617 is fixedly installed at the front end of the L-shaped fixing strip 69. A fixed clamping plate 614 is fixedly installed at the middle of the front end of the movable block 65. The fixed clamping plate 614 is located at the lower part of the movable clamping plate 617. Straight plates 611 are fixedly installed between the two inner walls of the U-shaped frame 61. A bent plate 612 is fixedly installed at the front end of each straight plate 611. A first guide groove 613 is opened at one end of each straight plate 611 that is close to each other. A second guide groove 615 is opened at one end of each bent plate 612 that is close to each other. The first guide groove 613 connects to the second guide groove 615.

The outer end of the movable guide post 616 is slidably connected to the first guide groove 613 and the second guide groove 615.

[0024] Specifically, when moving and unfolding the long kelp, the kelp head can be placed on the upper end of the fixed clamp 614. Then, the stepper motor 63 can be started. The output of the stepper motor 63 drives the rotating rod 64 to rotate. The rotating rod 64 then drives the moving block 65 to move backward within the slide groove 62. The moving block 65 then drives the guide post 67, guide sleeve 68, L-shaped fixing strip 69, spring 610, fixed clamp 614, moving guide post 616, and moving clamp 617 to move backward during this process. The movable guide post 616 moves from the second guide groove 615 into the first guide groove 613. At this time, the movable guide post 616 moves downward, which drives the L-shaped fixing strip 69, the movable clamping plate 617 and the guide sleeve 68 to move downward. At this time, the guide sleeve 68 compresses the spring 610, and the guide sleeve 68 slides relative to the guide post 67. At this time, the fixing clamping plate 614 and the movable clamping plate 617 clamp the head end of the long kelp, thereby driving the stacked long kelp to move and unfold.

[0025] In this embodiment, the kelp support mechanism 2 includes a kelp support roller 21. Both sides of the kelp support roller 21 are fixedly installed with follower shafts 22. The end of each follower shaft 22 away from the kelp support roller 21 is rotatably connected to the blanching tank 1 through a bearing.

[0026] Specifically, the kelp support mechanism 2 can support the moving long kelp. At this time, the long kelp will drive the kelp support roller 21 to rotate, and the kelp support roller 21 will drive the follower shaft 22 to rotate, so as to prevent the long kelp from falling to the bottom of the cooking tank 1 during the movement.

[0027] In this embodiment, the water supply component 4 includes a water supply pipe 41, and a plug seat 42 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the water supply pipe 41.

[0028] Specifically, water can be added to the scalding tank 1 through the water addition component 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, the water discharge assembly 5 includes a water discharge pipe 51, and a solenoid valve 52 is provided at the outer end of the water discharge pipe 51.

[0030] Specifically, the water in the scalding tank 1 can be released through the water release component 5.

[0031] In this embodiment, the outer end of the rotating rod 64 is provided with a threaded groove, and the rotating rod 64 passes through the moving block 65.

[0032] Specifically, it is ensured that the rotating rod 64 can directly drive the moving block 65 to perform continuous movement during the rotation process.

[0033] In this embodiment, the end of the rotating rod 64 away from the stepper motor 63 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 61 through a bearing, and a heater 3 is fixedly installed in the middle of the front end of the scalding tank 1.

[0034] Specifically, ensure that the rotating rod 64 does not interfere with the U-shaped frame 61 during rotation.

[0035] Working principle: When moving and unfolding long kelp, the kelp head can be placed on the upper end of the fixed clamping plate 614. At this time, the stepper motor 63 can be started. The output of the stepper motor 63 drives the rotating rod 64 to rotate. The rotating rod 64 drives the moving block 65 to move backward in the slide groove 62. The moving block 65 drives the guide post 67, guide sleeve 68, L-shaped fixing strip 69, spring 610, fixed clamping plate 614, moving guide post 616, and moving clamping plate 617 to move backward in this process. In the middle, the movable guide post 616 moves from the second guide groove 615 to the first guide groove 613. At this time, the movable guide post 616 moves downward, which drives the L-shaped fixing strip 69, the movable clamping plate 617 and the guide sleeve 68 to move downward. At this time, the guide sleeve 68 compresses the spring 610, and the guide sleeve 68 slides relative to the guide post 67. At this time, the fixing clamping plate 614 and the movable clamping plate 617 clamp the head end of the long kelp, thereby driving the stacked long kelp to move and unfold.
