Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sea cucumber freezing equipment, and in particular to a sea cucumber individual freezing tray. Background Technology

[0002] Sea cucumbers, as a highly nutritious seafood, require freezing during processing and storage to ensure quality. Current sea cucumber freezing methods primarily use stacked trays, which suffer from problems such as sea cucumbers sticking together, easy breakage during handling, uneven freezing and thawing, and inability to precisely control the quantity of individual sea cucumbers. Furthermore, traditional trays lack specific anti-stick structures and drainage designs, allowing moisture generated during freezing to accumulate at the bottom, resulting in irregularly shaped frozen sea cucumber blocks that affect subsequent packaging and sales. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a sea cucumber individual freezing tray that can achieve individual freezing, prevent sticking and easy handling, ensure uniform freezing, and has a highly adaptable structure to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sea cucumber individually frozen tray that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] This utility model provides a sea cucumber individually frozen tray, including a tray body, which is a rectangular plate structure. The tray body has several individually frozen grooves arranged in an array for placing sea cucumbers individually. The inner wall of each individually frozen groove is provided with an anti-stick coating. The bottom of the tray body is provided with a drainage structure, which includes a drainage hole opened at the bottom of each individually frozen groove and a water guide pipe located at the bottom of the tray body and communicating with the drainage hole one by one. One end of the water guide pipe extends to the outer edge of the tray body, and the bottom surface of the water guide pipe has a slight slope.

[0005] Furthermore, the shape of the single-freezing groove is adapted to the natural shape of the sea cucumber, and is a long, arc-shaped structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the anti-stick coating is a polytetrafluoroethylene coating, and the thickness of the anti-stick layer is 0.1-0.3 mm.

[0007] Furthermore, a filter element is provided inside the drain hole. The filter element is a metal filter screen or a nylon filter screen with a mesh size of 80-120 mesh. The filter element is detachably connected to the drain hole through a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the pallet body has a positioning connection structure along its edge. This structure includes positioning protrusions on the four edges of the upper surface of the pallet body and positioning grooves on the four edges of the lower surface of the pallet body that match the positioning protrusions. When multiple pallet bodies are stacked, the positioning grooves of the upper pallet body engage with the positioning protrusions of the lower pallet body. Additionally, each of the four corners of the pallet body has a spacer to create a gap when the pallet bodies are stacked; the positioning protrusions are located on these spacers.

[0009] Furthermore, the height of the positioning protrusion is 5-8mm, and the depth of the positioning groove is consistent with the height of the positioning protrusion.

[0010] Furthermore, the tray body is made of food-grade polypropylene or polyethylene.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the single-freezing grooves has several evenly distributed protrusions on its bottom wall. The height of each protrusion is 0.2-0.4 mm. The protrusions are integrally formed with the tray body, and the top of each protrusion is arc-shaped. These protrusions are heat-conducting protrusions used to enhance the uniformity of freezing. The even distribution of these heat-conducting protrusions at the bottom of the single-freezing grooves accelerates the transfer of cold energy within the grooves, ensuring that all parts of the sea cucumber are cooled evenly and preventing uneven freezing.

[0012] Furthermore, a handle is provided on one side of the tray body. The handle and the tray body are integrally formed, and the handle is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture is horizontal stripes with a stripe spacing of 2-3mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the side of the tray body is also provided with a label groove, which is a rectangular groove structure. The label groove is 50-80mm long and 30-40mm wide, and the front is a transparent plate with a U-shaped notch at the top.

[0014] Beneficial effects: This invention utilizes individually frozen grooves in the tray's main array, with each groove holding a single sea cucumber, completely avoiding the sticking together problem caused by traditional whole-piece stacking during freezing. No separation of frozen blocks is required during handling, effectively reducing damage caused by forced peeling, preserving the sea cucumber's integrity, and improving product quality. In the drainage structure, drainage holes at the bottom of the individually frozen grooves, combined with water guide pipes, quickly drain moisture, preventing water accumulation at the bottom of the tray. This avoids water mixing with the sea cucumber to form irregular frozen blocks, ensuring uniform block shape for standardized packaging and sales, and also reduces the impact of moisture on freezing efficiency, ensuring even freezing of all parts of the sea cucumber and further guaranteeing its quality.

[0020] Example 1 A type of individually frozen sea cucumber tray, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the tray includes a main body 1, which is a rectangular plate structure made of food-grade polypropylene or polyethylene. The main body 1 has several individually designed freezing grooves 2 arranged in an array for placing sea cucumbers individually. The main purpose of each individual freezing groove 2 is to hold one sea cucumber alone. This design prevents the sea cucumbers from sticking together during freezing, ensuring that each sea cucumber maintains its independent shape for easy handling and processing. To better conform to the shape of the sea cucumber and ensure it maintains its natural shape during freezing, the individual freezing grooves are adapted to the natural shape of the sea cucumber, forming an overall elongated arc-shaped structure. The inner wall of each individual freezing groove 2 is coated with an anti-stick coating (the anti-stick coating is a polytetrafluoroethylene coating with a thickness of 0.1-0.3 mm). This anti-stick coating effectively prevents the sea cucumber from sticking tightly to the inner wall of the groove after freezing, greatly reducing the difficulty of removing the sea cucumber and minimizing damage caused by forced removal, thus ensuring the integrity and quality of the sea cucumber. In addition, the bottom of the tray body 1 is equipped with a drainage structure, which consists of two parts: one part is the drainage hole 3 opened at the bottom of each individual freezing groove, and the other part is the water guide pipe 4 located at the bottom of the tray body 1 and connected to the drainage hole 3 in a one-to-one manner. The bottom surface of the water guide pipe 4 has a slight slope. The function of the drainage hole 3 is to promptly drain the water carried by the sea cucumber before freezing and the condensate that may be generated during the freezing process, while the water guide pipe 4 can guide the water drained from the drainage hole to the outer edge of the tray body 1. A water collection box 11 is provided on one side of the tray body 1.

[0021] To prevent fine impurities or debris from sea cucumbers from entering the water pipe 4 through the drain hole 3 during placement, thus preventing blockage and affecting drainage, a filter element 5 is installed inside the drain hole 3. This filter element 5 can be made of metal or nylon. Metal filters have high strength and wear resistance, can withstand certain external impacts, are not easily damaged, and have a long service life. Nylon filters have good flexibility and corrosion resistance, are lightweight, and are easy to install and disassemble. The mesh size of the filter element is set at 80-120 mesh. An 80-120 mesh filter effectively filters out fine impurities and debris from the sea cucumbers, preventing them from entering the water pipe, while not excessively affecting the drainage speed, ensuring smooth drainage. Furthermore, the filter element is detachably connected to the drain hole via a snap-fit ​​structure. This detachable connection method facilitates regular cleaning and replacement of the filter element by staff, ensuring that the filter element maintains good filtration performance and preventing blockage from affecting the normal operation of the drainage structure.

[0022] Considering that multiple pallets often need to be stacked for storage to save space in actual use, a positioning connection structure is provided on the edge of the pallet body. This positioning connection structure consists of two parts: a positioning protrusion 6 located on the four edges of the upper surface of the pallet body 1, and a positioning groove 7 located on the four edges of the lower surface of the pallet body 1, which matches the positioning protrusion 6. The height of the positioning protrusion 6 is 5-8mm, and the depth of the positioning groove 7 is the same as the height of the positioning protrusion 6. When multiple pallet bodies 1 need to be stacked, the positioning groove 7 on the lower surface of the upper pallet body 1 can precisely engage with the positioning protrusion 6 on the upper surface of the lower pallet body 1. This engaging structure effectively prevents the pallet body from shifting or tipping over during stacking, ensuring the stability and safety of the stack. At the same time, the matching design of the positioning protrusion 6 and the positioning groove 7 also makes the stacking operation of the pallet bodies simpler and faster, eliminating the need for workers to spend excessive time on alignment adjustments, greatly improving work efficiency. In addition, each of the four corners of the tray body 1 is provided with partitions 8 to create gaps when the tray bodies 1 are stacked. Positioning protrusions 6 are provided on the partitions 8. When multiple tray bodies are stacked, the partitions 8 can create gaps between two adjacent tray bodies 1. The main function of these gaps is to ensure that cold air can fully enter the space between the tray bodies during freezing and form good airflow circulation around the tray bodies. This allows the sea cucumbers in each tray body to be evenly affected by the cold air, avoiding the problem of uneven freezing caused by the cold air not circulating due to the tray bodies being stacked too densely, and further improving the freezing quality and efficiency of the sea cucumbers.

[0023] Each individual freezing groove 2 has several evenly distributed protrusions on its bottom wall. The height of the protrusions is 0.2-0.4mm. The protrusions are integrally molded with the main body of the tray, and the top of the protrusions is arc-shaped. The protrusions are heat-conducting protrusions used to enhance the uniformity of freezing. The heat-conducting protrusions are evenly distributed at the bottom of the individual freezing groove, which can accelerate the transfer of cold energy within the groove, allowing all parts of the sea cucumber to be cooled evenly and avoiding uneven freezing problems.

[0024] A handle 9 is provided on one side of the pallet body 1. The handle 9 is integrally formed with the pallet body 1, and the handle is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture is horizontal stripes with a stripe spacing of 2-3mm.

[0025] The tray body also features a label slot 10 on its side. This rectangular groove is 50-80mm long and 30-40mm wide, a size sufficient to accommodate adequate label information such as the sea cucumber's species, origin, freezing date, and batch number, facilitating full traceability and management. Furthermore, the front of the label slot 10 is designed with a transparent panel, protecting the labels from damage or contamination while ensuring staff can clearly see the information without removing the labels. A U-shaped notch at the top of the transparent panel allows for easy label replacement. When updating label information, simply remove the old label through the notch and insert the new one – a simple and quick process that greatly improves the convenience of label replacement.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
