Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food thawing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a cylindrical thawing machine for meat products. Background Technology

[0002] Meat product thawing equipment is a niche market within the food thawing industry and a crucial equipment category for long-term production by enterprises. Conventional meat thawing equipment directly applies heating media to the surface of meat products to achieve thawing, such as soaking in hot water or blowing with hot air or steam. While this method yields good thawing results, it generates a large amount of pollutants (such as wastewater and polluting gases). The generation of these pollutants is not only environmentally unfriendly but also exacerbates the pressure on industrial pollutant treatment. Therefore, conventional thawing equipment will gradually be phased out of the market. To meet users' needs for environmentally friendly production, enterprises are designing environmentally friendly structures for meat product thawing equipment, leading to this case study. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the needs of the prior art by providing a cylindrical thawing machine for meat products. This invention forms a closed jacketed cavity outside the thawing chamber, in which the heating medium circulates without contacting the meat products. This satisfies the heating and thawing requirements without generating polluting media, achieving the goal of environmentally friendly thawing production. This invention loads meat products into a loading box. During the thawing process, the loading box can rotate with the meat rack and also rotate on its own to flip over. This design facilitates the full and uniform heating and thawing of the meat products in the loading box.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A cylindrical thawing machine for meat products includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, a rotating platform, and a meat rack. The outer cylinder is fitted onto the outside of the inner cylinder, forming a closed interlayer cavity between the outer and inner cylinders. The inner cylinder has an open-top thawing cavity on its inner side. The rotating platform is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the thawing cavity. The meat rack is inserted into the thawing cavity through the top opening and is connected to the rotating platform via a transmission mechanism. Several material containers are evenly distributed along the side of the meat rack, each containing frozen meat products. A cylinder cover is installed on the top of the outer cylinder, sealing the top opening of the thawing cavity.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer cylinder has a first pipe interface and a second pipe interface connected to its outer wall surface. The first pipe interface and the second pipe interface are connected to the interlayer cavity, in which a heating medium flows. The inner cylinder is made of a thermally conductive metal material.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotary platform includes a platform and a rotating shaft. The top end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the platform. A motor component is installed below the bottom surface of the defrosting chamber, and the output end of the motor component is connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the meat rack includes a base frame, a top frame, and support columns. The base frame and the top frame are arranged in parallel and connected by the support columns. A bottom support is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the base frame. Several linkage pins are installed vertically and evenly on the top of the platform of the rotary platform. The bottom support is adapted to be inserted and connected to all the linkage pins.

[0009] Furthermore, the material carrier is vertically and rotatably installed between the base frame and the top frame, and the material carrier is a mesh box made of welded steel wire.

[0010] Furthermore, the base frame has an inclined surface, the lowest point of which is located at the outer edge of the base frame. A waste collection groove is connected and installed below the base frame, and the waste collection groove is installed at the position corresponding to the outer edge of the base frame.

[0011] Furthermore, a lifting ring seat is fixedly installed on the top of the top frame.

[0012] Furthermore, a drive shaft is connected to the bottom of the material container. The drive shaft extends downward through the base frame and is connected to a drive gear. A flipping drive element is installed at the bottom of the defrosting chamber. The flipping drive element includes a rack frame and an arc-shaped rack. The arc-shaped rack is fixedly installed on the top of the vertical rack frame. The arc-shaped rack is oriented towards the movement trajectory line of the drive gear. The rotation of the meat rack causes the drive gear to mesh with the arc-shaped rack.

[0013] Furthermore, the material box is flipped over by the meshing stroke of the transmission gear and the arc-shaped rack. Two flipping drive elements are installed, and the two flipping drive elements are installed symmetrically.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention forms a closed jacketed cavity outside the thawing chamber. The heating medium circulates within the jacketed cavity without contacting the meat products, thus satisfying the heating and thawing requirements without generating pollutants, achieving the goal of environmentally friendly thawing production. This invention uses a loading box to hold the meat products. During the thawing process, the loading box can rotate with the meat rack and also rotate on its own to flip over. This design facilitates the full and even heating and thawing of the meat products in the loading box. The design of this invention can meet the market demand for environmentally friendly equipment and help companies maintain their market share in the thawing machine segment.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1-5The illustrated cylindrical thawing machine for meat products has a cylindrical overall shape and is supported at the bottom for fixed installation on the workshop floor. This cylindrical thawing machine includes an outer cylinder 1, an inner cylinder 2, a rotating platform 5, and a meat rack 6. The outer cylinder 1 is fitted over the inner cylinder 2, with a gap between them. This gap is sealed at both ends with welded plates to form a closed cavity 3. A first pipe interface 11 and a second pipe interface 12 are connected and installed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 1. The first pipe interface 11 and the second pipe interface 12 serve as the input and output of the heating medium. The heating medium is connected to the pipe interface, allowing it to enter the jacketed cavity 3. The heating medium used in this invention can be hot steam, hot water, hot air, etc. The heating medium within the jacketed cavity 3 circulates continuously. The inner cylinder 2 of this invention is made of a thermally conductive metal material, and a top-open defrosting chamber 4 is formed on the inner side of the inner cylinder 2. This invention utilizes thermal conductivity to heat the defrosting chamber 4 to meet the defrosting operation requirements. The heating medium in this invention does not directly contact the meat products within the defrosting chamber 4, thus preventing the generation of contaminated heating medium and meeting the environmental protection requirements of the equipment. To improve defrosting quality, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this utility model designs a rotating platform 5 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the thawing chamber 4. The meat products are designed with a rack-type installation. The meat rack 6 is inserted into the thawing chamber 4 through an open top and is connected to the rotating platform 5 via a transmission mechanism. The rotation of the rotating platform 5 causes the meat rack 6 to rotate at a low speed within the thawing chamber 4, achieving a uniform heating effect. Several material containers 61 are evenly distributed along the sides of the meat rack 6, each containing frozen meat products. The material containers 61 are designed with... The mesh box body is welded from steel wire, which does not affect the heat transfer or the discharge of wastewater generated during freezing. Due to the rectangular structure of the loading box 61, this utility model is mainly used for thawing frozen meat in strip and plate shapes. A movable door that can be opened and closed is installed on one side of the loading box 61 to load or unload meat products. This utility model has a cylinder cover 7 installed on the top of the outer cylinder 1. The cylinder cover 7 is used to close the top opening of the thawing chamber 4. In order to reduce heat loss, a heat insulation material layer can be installed on the surface of the cylinder cover 7 and the outer cylinder 1.

[0024] like Figure 2As shown, the rotary platform 5 includes a platform 51 and a rotating shaft 52. The top end of the rotating shaft 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the platform 51. A motor element 8 is installed below the bottom surface of the defrosting chamber 4. The output end of the motor element 8 is connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 52. The rotary platform 5 is rotated by starting the motor element 8. The meat rack 6 of this utility model includes a base frame 62, a top frame 63, and a support column 64. The base frame 62 and the top frame 63 are arranged in parallel and connected by the support column 64. The body 62, the top frame 63, and the support column 64 form an I-beam frame. A bottom support 621 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the bottom frame 62. Several linkage pins 53 (preferably 4) are evenly distributed and installed on the top of the platform 51 of the rotary platform 5. The bottom support 621 is adapted to be inserted and connected to all the linkage pins 53. Under the driving action of the linkage pins 53, the meat rack 6 can rotate together with the rotary platform 5. The motor element 8 of this utility model adopts a motor device with an integrated reducer, which can realize the low-speed rotation of the meat rack 6.

[0025] During the thawing process of meat products, thawing wastewater (blood water) is generated. This thawing wastewater needs to be collected and treated centrally, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this invention features an inclined surface 622 on the top of the base frame 62. The highest point of the inclined surface 622 is located at the center of the base frame 62, and the lowest point is located at the outer edge of the base frame 62. The thawing wastewater flowing from the material container 61 falls onto the inclined surface 622 and then flows downhill towards the outer edge of the base frame 62. A waste collection trough 65 is connected and installed below the base frame 62, corresponding to the outer edge of the base frame 62. The thawing wastewater flowing from the outer edge of the base frame 62 is collected precisely in the waste collection trough 65. The waste collection trough 65 is bolted for easy assembly and disassembly. A lifting ring seat 66 is fixedly installed on the top of the top frame 63. After loading meat products, the entire meat rack 6 is quite heavy and requires lifting equipment. The lifting ring seat 66 is used to thread ropes and other tools for lifting. When the meat rack 6 is lifted out, the waste collection trough 65 is also lifted out. After being lifted out, the waste collection trough 65 is promptly disassembled for wastewater treatment. The outer diameter of the waste collection trough 65 should be smaller than the diameter of the thawing chamber 4 to prevent collisions and interference during the rotation of the meat rack 6.

[0026] Meat products are typically oriented in a specific direction. If this orientation remains unchanged, the side closest to the heat source will thaw most effectively, leading to uneven thawing. To address this, [further measures can be taken]. Figure 3As shown, this utility model designs the material container 61 as vertically and rotatably mounted. A drive shaft 611 is connected to the bottom of the material container 61. The drive shaft 611 passes through the base frame 62 and extends downwards, connecting to a drive gear 612. A flipping drive element 41 is installed at the bottom of the defrosting chamber 4. The flipping drive element 41 includes a rack frame 411 and an arc-shaped rack 412. The arc-shaped rack 412 is fixedly mounted on the top of the vertical rack frame 411 and is positioned towards the movement trajectory line of the drive gear 612. When the meat rack 6 rotates, the drive gear 612 performs a large rotational movement accordingly. Figure 5 As shown, the transmission gear 612 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 412 during this process. The meshing stroke of the transmission gear 612 and the arc-shaped rack 412 drives the material box 61 to rotate, thereby causing the material box 61 to flip over, which achieves the effect of turning over the meat products loaded in the material box 61. As the thawing operation proceeds and the meat rack 6 rotates continuously, the material box 61 drives the meat products to flip over continuously to achieve a uniform thawing effect. The diameter of the thawing chamber 4 of this utility model should meet the requirements of the rotation and flipping of the material box 61 and will not collide with the rotating material box 61. The length of the arc-shaped rack 412 is just enough to allow the material box 61 to rotate 180 degrees. This utility model designs to install two flipping drive elements 41, which are symmetrically arranged and installed. That is to say, when the meat rack 6 rotates one revolution at low speed, the transmission gear 612 below it will mesh with the arc-shaped rack 412 twice, forming a flipping effect twice.

[0027] This invention is particularly suitable for thawing meat chops and cuts of meat. When using this invention, the meat products are first loaded into the material container 61 one by one, and then the meat rack 6 is lifted and loaded into the thawing chamber 4.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
