Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of baking food cooling technology, specifically a baking food cooling device for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the baking industry, baked goods (such as bread, cakes, and cookies) need to be cooled down until the temperature reaches a suitable range (usually 30-40℃) before subsequent packaging, slicing, and secondary processing can proceed. Currently, the industry commonly uses two main cooling methods: natural cooling and forced air cooling. Natural cooling relies on the temperature difference between the ambient temperature and the food to dissipate heat. It does not require additional equipment investment, but the cooling efficiency is extremely low and is significantly affected by the ambient temperature and humidity. In high temperature and high humidity environments, the cooling time for a single batch of baked goods often exceeds 2 hours, which seriously restricts the overall efficiency of the processing line. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to air can easily lead to moisture loss on the surface of the food, a deterioration in taste, and may also increase the risk of microbial contamination. To improve cooling efficiency, some companies have begun to try vacuum cooling technology, which accelerates heat dissipation from food and shortens the cooling cycle through a vacuum environment. However, existing vacuum cooling cabinets lack a stable and fixed structure for storing baked goods. When the storage racks carrying baked goods enter the vacuum cabinet, the cabinet door cannot effectively limit the racks when it is closed. During the vacuuming and cooling process, changes in air pressure inside the cabinet can easily cause the storage racks to shake slightly, resulting in the food on the racks stacking and colliding, which can damage the integrity of the food's shape and ultimately affect the processing quality of the baked goods.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a fish fry screening device for aquaculture to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A crossbar 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable block 8, and two connecting rods 10 are fixedly connected to both ends of the crossbar 9. A first rack 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 10, and a gear 12 is meshed to one end of the first rack 11. A second rack 13 is meshed to one side of the top of the gear 12, and a connecting seat 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rack 13. A clamping plate 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting seat 14, and the clamping plate 6 is plugged into one side of the base 201. When it is necessary to cool baked goods, first place the baked goods to be cooled evenly in each shelf area of ​​the storage rack 2, ensuring that there is an appropriate heat dissipation gap between the foods. Then push the storage rack 2 so that its bottom base 201 slides smoothly into the vacuum cooling cabinet 1 along the ramp 4 until the other end of the base 201 is aligned and in contact with the fixing plate 7. The cabinet door 3 is equipped with a sealing strip at the contact edge with the cabinet body. When the cabinet door 3 is closed, the sealing strip can fit tightly against the cabinet body, blocking the air circulation between the cabinet and the outside. Start the vacuum cooling system to draw a vacuum inside the vacuum cooling cabinet 1. The vacuum environment accelerates the heat dissipation of the food and achieves rapid cooling. Vacuum cooling cabinet 1 is an existing technology. Its core cooling principle is to use the vacuum environment to lower the boiling point of water. The water evaporates and carries away a large amount of heat to achieve rapid cooling. Vacuum cooling cabinet 1 has a fast cooling speed, which can significantly shorten the cooling time and improve production efficiency. The low temperature environment reduces moisture loss, keeping baked goods soft and preventing the surface from drying out. At the same time, the vacuum state can inhibit the growth of microorganisms and improve food hygiene and safety. Secondly, when the cabinet door 3 is closed, the cabinet door 3 will drive the limiting plate 5 to move, the limiting plate 5 will push the base 201 to move, the base 201 will squeeze the movable block 8, the movable block 8 will drive the crossbar 9 to move, the crossbar 9 will drive the two connecting rods 10 to move, the connecting rods 10 will drive the first rack 11 to move, the first rack 11 will drive the gear 12 to rotate, the gear 12 will drive the second rack 13 to move, the second rack 13 will drive the connecting seat 14 to move, the connecting seat 14 will drive the clamping plate 6 to move, so that the two clamping plates 6 move closer to each other to fix the left and right sides of the storage rack 2. The front and back of the storage rack 2 are fixed by the limiting plate 5 and the fixing plate 7. This multi-directional fixing structure can ensure that the storage rack 2 is completely stationary in the vacuum cooling cabinet 1, avoiding food stacking and collision caused by the shaking of the storage rack, while ensuring the stability of the contact area between the food and the vacuum environment, ensuring the uniformity and safety of cooling; Furthermore, a movable groove 15 is machined on one side of the inner wall of the vacuum cooling cabinet 1.

Furthermore, two connecting grooves 17 are machined at both ends of the groove 16. The connecting rod 10 and the first rack 11 are movably connected inside the connecting groove 17. When the crossbar 9 moves and drives the connecting rod 10 to move, the connecting rod 10 will drive the first rack 11 to move along the inside of the connecting groove 17. The connecting groove 17 will limit the movement of the connecting rod 10 and the first rack 11, so that the first rack 11 remains stable when it moves. Furthermore, a rotating groove 18 is machined at one end of the connecting groove 17, and the gear 12 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove 18. When the first rack 11 moves, the first rack 11 will drive the gear 12 to rotate, and the gear 12 will rotate along the inside of the rotating groove 18. The rotating groove 18 will limit the movement of the gear 12. Furthermore, one end of the rotating groove 18 is machined with an embedded groove 19, and the clamping plate 6 is movably connected inside the embedded groove 19. By providing the embedded groove 19, one end of the clamping plate 6 will be stored inside the embedded groove 19, thereby preventing the base 201 from being blocked when passing between the clamping plates 6. Furthermore, two guide rods 20 are fixedly connected inside the groove 16, and the crossbar 9 is movably connected to the outside of the guide rods 20. A return spring 21 is provided outside the guide rods 20. One end of the return spring 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the groove 16, and the other end of the return spring 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the crossbar 9. By providing the guide rods 20, the guide rods 20 will limit the movement of the crossbar 9, so that the crossbar 9 remains stable when it moves. By providing the return spring 21, when the crossbar 9 is squeezed, the inner groove 19 will drive the return spring 21 to compress.
