Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning devices for quick-frozen foods, specifically a cleaning device for quick-frozen food processing. Background Technology

[0002] Quick-frozen food cleaning equipment is a key piece of equipment in food processing. It is mainly used to thoroughly remove stains, impurities and mucus from the surface of food before quick-freezing to ensure food safety and quality. These devices often use a combination of technologies, such as high-pressure spraying for initial rinsing and using rotating brushing mechanisms or bubble tumbling to perform deep cleaning of food. This can effectively remove stubborn dirt and avoid damaging the food.

[0003] Currently, frozen foods require a cleaning process before being frozen and packaged to improve their hygiene. However, a problem exists in actual use: traditional cleaning operations typically use a cleaning tank with additional rinsing and aeration mechanisms. Some types of food float on the surface of the liquid, limiting the cleaning effect of aeration. Therefore, the inventors urgently need to design a food pressure-reducing component to improve the cleaning effect and efficiency of frozen foods. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning device for quick-frozen food processing, so as to solve the technical problem that traditional cleaning devices have low adaptability to cleaning some foods that are easy to float on the liquid surface.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cleaning device for quick-frozen food processing, comprising a cleaning tank, a pressure assembly above the cleaning tank, the pressure assembly comprising a first air push rod, the telescopic end of the first air push rod being fixedly connected to a support frame via a connecting plate, a fixed frame being rotatably connected below the support frame via a rotating shaft, a pressure mesh plate being fixedly disposed below the fixed frame, the pressure mesh plate being opposite to the opening above the cleaning tank, and the pressure mesh plate not interfering with the inner wall of the cleaning tank or the infusion pipe assembly; An adjustment mechanism is installed between one side of the support frame and the fixed frame. The adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the angle position of the pressure plate through the rotating shaft.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, effective suppression of floating food is achieved. The first air push rod drives the support frame to rise and fall as a whole through the connecting plate, causing the pressure mesh plate to be submerged in the cleaning liquid, completely immersing the easily floating food, ensuring that the aeration cleaning effect can cover the entire surface of the food, and significantly improving the cleaning uniformity and cleanliness.

[0007] Furthermore, a conveyor belt for transporting aerated and cleaned food is installed on one side of the washing tank. The conveyor belt is equipped with baffles at equal intervals, and the starting section of the conveyor belt extends into the interior of the washing tank.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaned food can be directly captured by the baffles on the conveyor belt and lifted out of the water, realizing automated transfer from the cleaning station to the next process, effectively reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.

[0009] Furthermore, a side plate is vertically welded above the side of the pressure mesh plate closest to the conveyor belt. The side plate is used to prevent food from moving above the pressure mesh plate due to aeration.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the aeration mechanism generates strong water flow and bubbles, the side plate can prevent food from passing over the head pressure mesh plate under the impact of buoyancy and water flow, ensuring that all food is confined within the effective cleaning area and preventing cleaning omissions or equipment jamming caused by food escape.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a second pneumatic actuator, both ends of which are hinged to the support frame and the fixed frame respectively via mounting seats.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic movement of the second pneumatic push rod can be directly converted into the rotation of the fixed frame around the pivot, thereby precisely controlling the tilt angle of the pressure plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the control solenoid valves of both the first and second pneumatic actuators are electrically connected to an external power source via a control center.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, the lifting and angle adjustment of the pressure plate can be programmed and automated. Operators can preset or adjust parameters in real time through the CNC box to adapt to different production batches and food types, which greatly improves the intelligence level and ease of operation of the equipment.

[0015] Furthermore, a liquid pump is installed on the lower side of the cleaning tank, and the inlet of the liquid pump is connected to the outlet of the external waste liquid purification and circulation device. An overflow tank is installed on the front side of the cleaning tank, and the overflow tank is connected to the inlet of the liquid pump. The lower opening of the cleaning tank is connected to the inlet of the external waste liquid purification and circulation device through a liquid delivery pipe.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the liquid pump pumps the purified cleaning liquid into the system, while the outlet below the cleaning tank discharges the wastewater containing impurities to the purification device, and the overflow tank can stabilize the water level of the cleaning tank and collect the overflow liquid. The three work together to realize the dynamic renewal and recycling of the cleaning liquid.

[0017] Furthermore, a rinsing mechanism is installed on one side above the conveyor belt. The rinsing mechanism includes a pipe rack and rinsing nozzles, and the outlet of the liquid pump is connected to the pipe rack and the cleaning tank.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, an independent water rinsing process is added to the cleaned food. After being aerated and cleaned in the pool, the food is covered and rinsed by the clean water sprayed by the rinsing mechanism during the process of being output by the conveyor belt. This can effectively remove any residual dirt or cleaning liquid foam that may be attached to the surface of the food, thereby further improving the cleanliness.

[0019] Furthermore, an aeration mechanism is provided on one side of the lower part of the cleaning tank. The air outlet of the aerator in the aeration mechanism is connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank. A CNC box is installed on one side of the cleaning tank.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, compressed air can be evenly distributed in the form of a large number of fine bubbles at the bottom of the entire cleaning tank. These rising bubbles generate violent agitation and water flow impact, simulating the effect of manual kneading. This can effectively remove mud, impurities and some microorganisms from the surface of food. Especially for irregularly shaped foods, bubble cleaning can reach dents and crevices, achieving thorough cleaning.

[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: 1. This utility model uses a pressing component to stably press food floating on the water surface into the cleaning liquid, ensuring that the food is completely submerged. This solves the problem of cleaning dead corners caused by food floating in traditional cleaning, and allows the aeration cleaning effect to cover the entire surface of the food, significantly improving the uniformity and thoroughness of cleaning. At the same time, the adjustment mechanism consisting of a fixed frame connected by a rotating shaft and a second air push rod enables flexible adjustment of the angle of the pressing screen. The tilt angle can be used to guide the food to move automatically towards the conveyor belt during the cleaning process, realizing continuous cleaning and conveying operations and improving production efficiency. 2. In this utility model, the integrated water circulation system works in conjunction with the CNC box to realize the filtration, circulation and automatic water level control of the cleaning liquid, which saves water resources and ensures the stability of the cleaning environment. The rinsing mechanism at the end of the conveyor belt can perform secondary cleaning and rinsing, further ensuring the hygienic quality of the food. The high degree of automation effectively improves the efficiency and quality of the pre-processing of quick-frozen foods. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] In this embodiment: A cleaning device for processing frozen foods, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the system includes a cleaning tank 1, and a pressure assembly 2 is provided above the cleaning tank 1. The pressure assembly 2 includes a first air push rod 201. The telescopic end of the first air push rod 201 is fixedly connected to a support frame 203 through a connecting plate 202. A fixed frame 207 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the support frame 203 through a rotating shaft 206. A pressure mesh plate 204 is fixedly provided below the fixed frame 207. The pressure mesh plate 204 is opposite to the opening above the cleaning tank 1, and the pressure mesh plate 204 does not conflict with the inner wall of the cleaning tank or the infusion tube assembly. An adjustment mechanism 3 is installed between one side of the support frame 203 and the fixed frame 207. The adjustment mechanism 3 is used to adjust the angle position of the pressure mesh plate 204 through the rotating shaft 206, thereby effectively pressing the floating food. The first air push rod 201 drives the support frame 203 to rise and fall as a whole through the connecting plate 202, causing the pressure mesh plate 204 to be submerged in the cleaning liquid, completely immersing the easily floating food, ensuring that the aeration cleaning effect can cover the entire surface of the food, significantly improving the cleaning uniformity and cleanliness. At the same time, the angle of the pressure mesh plate 204 is adjustable through the rotating shaft 206 connecting the support frame 203 and the fixed frame 207, and the independent adjustment mechanism 3 is set up. This allows the mesh plate to guide the food to move in a specific direction during the cleaning process by adjusting the tilt angle, creating conditions for subsequent automated discharge and greatly enhancing the adaptability of the equipment to different materials.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3A conveyor belt 8 for transporting aerated and cleaned food is installed on one side of the washing tank 1. Baffles are evenly spaced on the conveyor belt 8. The starting section of the conveyor belt 8 extends into the interior of the washing tank 1. The cleaned food can be directly captured by the baffles on the conveyor belt 8 and lifted out of the water, realizing automated transfer from the washing station to the next process. This effectively reduces manual intervention and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the integration of the conveyor belt 8 and the washing tank 1 makes the material transportation process smooth and avoids secondary contamination or damage to the food during the transfer process. The evenly spaced baffles can not only stably carry the food, but also play a preliminary role in draining water during the lifting process, separating some of the washing liquid and reducing the load on the subsequent dehydration or rinsing process.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 A side plate 205 is vertically welded above the side of the pressure mesh plate 204 near the conveyor belt 8. The side plate 205 is used to prevent food from moving above the pressure mesh plate 204 due to aeration power. When the aeration mechanism 7 generates strong water flow and bubbles, the side plate 205 can prevent food from passing over the pressure mesh plate 204 under the impact of buoyancy and water flow, ensuring that all food is confined within the effective cleaning area, preventing cleaning omissions or equipment jamming caused by food escape. At the same time, it strengthens the control of food flow direction and works in conjunction with the inclined pressure mesh plate 204 to guide the food to move in an orderly manner towards the conveyor belt 8, ensuring the continuity and stability of the cleaning and discharge process.

[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a second pneumatic push rod 302. Both ends of the second pneumatic push rod 302 are hinged to the support frame 203 and the fixed frame 207 respectively through the mounting base 301. The extension and retraction movement of the second pneumatic push rod 302 can be directly converted into the rotation of the fixed frame 207 around the rotating shaft 206, thereby precisely controlling the tilt angle of the pressure mesh plate 204. At the same time, by using a pneumatic push rod as a power source, flexible and precise control of the working posture of the pressure mesh plate 204 is achieved. It can optimize the pressing effect on different materials and drive the food movement by using the tilt angle change, with multiple functions.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 4The control solenoid valves of the first air push rod 201 and the second air push rod 302 are electrically connected to an external power supply through the control center, which enables the lifting and angle adjustment of the pressure mesh plate 204 to be programmed and automated. Operators can preset or adjust parameters in real time through the CNC box 9 to adapt to different production batches and food types, greatly improving the intelligence level and ease of operation of the equipment. At the same time, it ensures that the actions of the first air push rod 201 and the second air push rod 302 are coordinated and synchronized, and the sequence of each action is precise, avoiding motion interference and ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the cleaning process.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 A liquid pump 5 is installed on one side of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. The inlet of the liquid pump 5 is connected to the outlet of the external waste liquid purification and circulation device. An overflow tank 4 is installed on the front side of the cleaning tank 1. The overflow tank 4 is connected to the inlet of the liquid pump 5. The lower opening of the cleaning tank 1 is connected to the inlet of the external waste liquid purification and circulation device through a liquid delivery pipe. The liquid pump 5 pumps the purified cleaning liquid into the system, while the lower opening of the cleaning tank 1 discharges the wastewater containing impurities to the purification device. The overflow tank 4 can stabilize the water level of the cleaning tank 1 and collect the overflow liquid. The three work together to realize the dynamic renewal and recycling of the cleaning liquid. At the same time, it significantly saves water resources, reduces production costs, and meets environmental protection requirements. The continuously filtered and renewed cleaning liquid also ensures the stability of the cleaning effect and avoids secondary pollution caused by water quality deterioration, fundamentally improving the hygienic quality of the final product.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 A rinsing mechanism 6 is installed on one side above the conveyor belt 8. The rinsing mechanism 6 includes a pipe rack and rinsing nozzles. The outlet of the liquid pump 5 is connected to the pipe rack and the washing tank 1, adding an independent clean water rinsing process for the cleaned food. After the food is aerated and cleaned in the tank, it is covered and rinsed by the clean water flow sprayed by the rinsing mechanism 6 during the output of the conveyor belt 8. This can effectively remove residual dirt or cleaning liquid foam that may be attached to the surface of the food, further improving the cleanliness. At the same time, the liquid pump 5 provides a pressurized water source, realizing the internal recycling of water resources within the system. The wastewater after rinsing can be returned to the treatment system, optimizing the overall water consumption.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3An aeration mechanism 7 is installed on one side below the cleaning tank 1. The air outlet of the aerator in the aeration mechanism 7 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. A CNC box 9 is installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1, so that compressed air can be evenly distributed in the form of a large number of fine bubbles throughout the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. These rising bubbles generate violent agitation and water flow impact, simulating the effect of manual kneading, which can effectively remove mud, impurities and some microorganisms from the surface of food. Especially for irregularly shaped foods, bubble cleaning can reach dents and crevices, achieving cleaning without dead corners. At the same time, combined with the precise control of aeration intensity and time by the CNC box 9, the best cleaning plan can be customized according to the characteristics of different foods, ensuring the cleanliness while minimizing damage to the food surface, thus optimizing the flexibility of the cleaning process.

[0033] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: During operation, the frozen food to be cleaned is placed in the cleaning tank 1, the device is started, and the pressure assembly 2 is operated through the control system. Specifically, the first air pusher 201 pushes the support frame 203 and the pressure mesh plate 204 below it down through the connecting plate 202, pressing the easily floating food into the cleaning liquid. At the same time, the second air pusher 302 can move, driving the fixed frame 207 to rotate around the rotating shaft 206 through the hinged mounting base 301, thereby adjusting the angle of the pressure mesh plate 204 so that it better conforms to the shape of the food accumulation. It adjusts the angle of the pressure mesh plate 204 by adjusting the pressure mesh plate 204. The operation at 04 causes the pressure screen 204 to tilt, causing the food being aerated and rinsed below to gradually move towards the conveyor belt 8, thus allowing the food to enter the next cleaning process. The side plate 205 prevents the food from overflowing above the pressure screen 204 under the airflow generated by the aeration mechanism 7. After the food is stably submerged and receives sufficient aeration and cleaning, it is then transported out of the tank by the conveyor belt 8 and finally sprayed by the rinsing mechanism 6. The liquid pump 5 and the overflow tank 4, together with the CNC box 9, realize the circulation of the cleaning liquid and water level management, thereby completing the cleaning process efficiently and automatically.
