Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

The embodiment of the utility model firstly provides a low-temperature high-humidity thawing device 10, wherein the low-temperature high-humidity thawing device 10 is used for rapidly thawing objects to be thawed, and the objects to be thawed are mainly meat to be thawed. Generally, meat has a relatively low freezing temperature, and is removed from the freezer at a temperature of about-18 ℃.

The low temperature, high humidity thawing apparatus 10 includes at least a thawing tank 140 and a flow-promoting assembly 110. The thawing box 140 defines a thawing compartment 141 therein, which is opened forward, and the object to be thawed can be placed in the thawing compartment 141. The flow promoting assembly 110 is disposed at the rear upper side of the thawing compartment 141, blows thawing air flow obliquely downward toward the thawing object, and controls the air flow temperature of the thawing air flow to 5-50 deg.c.

It can be understood that, because the freezing temperature of the to-be-thawed object is low, the flow-promoting assembly 110 blows the thawing air flow with the temperature of 5-50 ℃ to the to-be-thawed object, so that the thawing air flow and the to-be-thawed object can exchange heat effectively, and the thawing speed of the to-be-thawed object is increased.

Preferably, the air flow temperature of the defrosting air flow can be further controlled at 18 ℃ to 30 ℃, for example, 18 ℃, 20 ℃, 25 ℃, 28 ℃, 30 ℃, etc. Under the temperature range, the air flow to be defrosted and the object to be defrosted can be guaranteed to quickly exchange heat, the surface of the object to be defrosted can be effectively prevented from being cured, and the defrosting speed and the defrosting quality of the object to be defrosted are considered.

It will be appreciated that if the flow-promoting assembly 110 is disposed on or above the side to be defrosted, only the side opposite to the flow-promoting assembly 110 will be subjected to the defrosting air flow during the defrosting air flow blowing process, resulting in a slower defrosting speed on the opposite side.

Therefore, in the embodiment, the flow promoting assembly 110 is disposed above and behind the thawing compartment 141, so that the thawing air flow can be more fully contacted with the object to be thawed, and the heat exchange area between the thawing air flow and the object to be thawed is increased, thereby improving the overall thawing speed of the object to be thawed. Particularly, the thawing effect is remarkable for thawing high-end food materials such as chickens, fishes and the like.

It should be noted that the flow promoting assembly 110 may or may not have a heating function. When it has a heating function, it directly heats the blown defrosting air flow. When the defrosting air flow does not have the heating function, the defrosting air flow can be heated to a preset temperature in advance or heated to the preset temperature in the flowing process.

The flow promoting assembly 110 shown in this embodiment is a common axial flow fan, and does not have a heating function, and a heating assembly is disposed on the air outlet side of the flow promoting assembly 110, and the defrosting air flow is heated by the heating assembly, so that the air flow temperature of the defrosting air flow meets the defrosting requirement.

In one example, the heating assembly may include a heating pipe 121, and the heating pipe 121 may be bent into a polygonal ring shape or into a disc shape, thereby increasing a contact area with the defrosting air flow, improving heating efficiency and heating uniformity, and simultaneously reducing a blocking effect on the defrosting air flow, and maintaining a flow smoothness of the defrosting air flow.

The heating pipe 121 may be fixed to the top wall of the thawing compartment 141, and its power may be 10W to 200W, for example, 10W, 20W, 50W, 80W, 100W, 200W, etc., specifically, may be selected according to practical needs.

In another example, the heating assembly may also include a heating plate that covers the air outlet side of the flow promoting assembly 110, and has grill holes for the flow of defrosting air.

The wind speed of the flow promoting assembly 110 may be set to 0.2m/s to 3m/s. For example, 0.2m/s, 0.5m/s, 0.8m/s, 1.0m/s, 1.5m/s, 1.8m/s, 2.0m/s, 2.5m/s, 3m/s, etc. It can be appreciated that the wind speed of the proximal end of the flow promoting assembly 110 is larger, and the wind speed of the distal end is smaller, so that in practical application, the wind speed of the flow promoting assembly 110 and the distance between the flow promoting assembly 110 and the object to be defrosted should be reasonably configured, so as to ensure that the defrosting air flow blown to the object to be defrosted has sufficient blowing force, and ensure that the defrosting air flow can effectively exchange heat with the object to be defrosted.

It should be noted that, the connection mode between the flow promoting assembly 110 and the power supply and the connection mode between the heating assembly and the power supply may be varied, and those skilled in the art can arrange the flow promoting assembly and the heating assembly by themselves without any need of inventive arrangements.

In an alternative embodiment, the low temperature and high humidity thawing apparatus 10 can further comprise a thawing drawer 150, wherein the thawing drawer 150 is slidably disposed in the thawing compartment 141 through a forward opening of the thawing compartment 141, and has an air inlet 153 formed at a position corresponding to the flow-promoting assembly 110. In this manner, flow-enhancing assembly 110 is capable of blowing a defrost air flow into defrost drawer 150 via air inlet 153, thereby causing the objects to be defrosted to complete defrosting within defrost drawer 150.

It can be understood that if the object to be thawed is directly placed in the thawing compartment 141 for thawing, the thawing compartment 141 will be polluted by the thawed water generated during thawing, and a large amount of bacteria will not be easily grown in time during the thawing process, which affects the next thawing operation. And will wait to unfreeze the thing and place in unfreezing drawer 150 and unfreeze, unfreeze drawer 150 and can store the defrosting water, follow-up only need pull out unfreezing drawer 150, carry to the pond department wash can, improved the convenience of user's operation, compare in wasing whole thawing compartment 141, it is easier to unfreeze the washing of drawer 150.

In one example, the thawing drawer 150 may include a drawer body 151 and a drawer cover 152, wherein the top of the drawer body 151 is provided with a taking opening, the drawer cover 152 may be fastened to the taking opening, and after the drawer cover 152 is removed, a user may take the to-be-thawed object from the drawer body 151.

The drawer cover 152 may be provided with an air return port 154, and the air flow blown into the drawer main body 151 by the flow promoting assembly 110 flows back to the flow promoting assembly 110 through the air return port 154. The air return port 154 can circulate the defrosting air flow through the defrosting drawer 150, which is beneficial to improving the smoothness of the defrosting air flow and the heat exchange speed of the defrosting air flow and the object to be defrosted.

The defrosting enclosure 140 defines a return air duct 143 above the defrosting compartment 141 that communicates with the return air inlet 154 and the flow promoting assembly 110. Under the drainage effect of the return air duct 143, the thawing air flow flowing out from the return air inlet 154 can smoothly flow back to the flow promoting assembly 110, so that the flow smoothness of the thawing air flow is further improved.

Preferably, the return air inlet 154 may be disposed adjacent the front end of the drawer cover 152. Since the flow promoting assembly 110 is located at the rear upper side of the thawing compartment 141, the thawing air flow blown into the drawer body 151 will climb up at the front end of the drawer body 151, and the thawing air flow smoothly flows out of the drawer body 151 by providing the return air inlet 154 at the front end of the drawer cover 152.

In one example, a mounting plate 142 is disposed in the thawing box 140, the mounting plate 142 extends horizontally backward from the front end of the thawing box 140, the top wall and the two side walls of the region corresponding to the thawing box 140 form the above-mentioned return air duct 143, and a return air inlet is also disposed at the opposite position of the mounting plate 142 and the above-mentioned return air inlet 154. The mounting plate 142 extends obliquely downwards from front to back, and a mounting cavity is formed between the top wall, the rear wall and two side walls of the region corresponding to the thawing box 140, and the flow promoting assembly 110 is arranged in the mounting cavity, and the mounting cavity is provided with an air supply opening 144 facing the to-be-thawed object.

In an alternative embodiment, the low temperature and high humidity thawing apparatus 10 may further comprise a humidifying assembly, which is mainly used to increase the internal humidity of the thawing compartment 141, increase the moisture content of the thawing air stream, and prevent the material to be thawed from being air-dried during thawing.

In one example, the humidifying assembly includes a atomizing head 131, the atomizing head 131 being configured to controllably supply a humidified gas flow to the defrosting compartment 141, by which the internal humidity of the defrosting compartment 141 is increased.

The atomizing head 131 may be selected as a micro-porous atomizing head 131 having an operating frequency of 120KHz or less, or a real-porous atomizing head 131 having an operating frequency of greater than 1.7 MHz. In this embodiment, the atomizing head 131 may be a microporous atomizing head 131, the aperture of the mist outlet may be 5um to 20um, and the atomization amount may be 20ml/h to 60ml/h, which can effectively maintain the humidity requirement of the thawing compartment 141 during thawing.

Further, the atomizing head 131 may be disposed toward the air supply path between the flow promoting assembly 110 and the object to be defrosted, and the straight line distance for supplying the humidified air flow to the air supply path may be 10mm to 300mm, for example, 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 50mm, etc., so that the humidified air flow generated by the atomizing head is directly blown to the object to be defrosted after being mixed with the defrosting air flow. Therefore, the loss of the humidifying airflow can be reduced, and the utilization rate of the humidifying airflow can be improved.

It should be noted that, when the position of the atomizing head 131 is arranged, the atomizing head 131 cannot face the heating assembly, and the generated humidified air cannot be blown to the heating assembly, so as to avoid the heating assembly directly evaporating the humidified air, which results in no effective humidifying effect.

The humidifying assembly may also include a water storage cartridge that may be disposed on the defrosting drawer 150 to move synchronously with the defrosting drawer 150. The water storage tank 155 for containing the humidifying water is defined in the water storage box, and the atomizing head 131 communicates with the inside of the water storage tank 155, thereby converting the humidifying water in the water storage tank 155 into a humidifying air flow.

In one example, the water storage tank 155 may be designed to taper from top to bottom, the bottom wall of the water storage tank 155 is provided with a water outlet hole, and the atomizing head 131 is fixed in the water outlet hole.

In another example, a connection pipe is arranged between the water storage tank 155 and the atomizing head 131, and the humidifying water in the water storage tank 155 can be conveyed to the atomizing head 131 through the connection pipe for conversion use by the atomizing head 131.

The water storage box can be provided with a top cover 156 covering the water storage tank 155, and the top cover 156 can be turned over or rotated or pushed and pulled to open. Of course, the specific manner in which the top cover 156 is opened may vary, and embodiments of the present utility model are not limited in this regard.

In a preferred embodiment, the water storage box may be formed as part of the drawer cover 152, with the water storage tank 155 being recessed downwardly from a portion of the rear end of the top wall of the drawer cover 152. When the humidification water in the water storage tank 155 is insufficient, a user can pull the defrosting drawer 150 outwards, then the top cover 156 is opened to supplement the humidification water in the water storage tank 155, the operation is simple and convenient, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In practical applications, the low temperature and high humidity thawing device 10 is usually placed in a low temperature space, which will result in a temperature of the humidifying water below 25 ℃, and sometimes only around 5 ℃. In this case, the air flow temperature of the humidified air flow generated by the atomizing head 131 is low, so that the air flow temperature of the mixed defrosting air flow is too low, resulting in that the desired defrosting effect cannot be achieved.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the embodiment of the present utility model, a heating element is further disposed in the water storage tank 155, and the heating element is mainly used for adjusting the temperature of the humidification water, so as to raise the temperature of the humidification water to a temperature that is within a set temperature range of the humidification air at the outlet of the atomizing head 131.

The set temperature range of the humidified gas flow may be 0 ℃ to 40 ℃. For example, 5 ℃, 10 ℃, 15 ℃, 20 ℃, 25 ℃, 30 ℃, 35 ℃, 40 ℃. It will be appreciated that if the flow temperature of the humidified gas flow is too low, the flow temperature of the defrost gas flow will be pulled low, resulting in an increase in the energy consumption of the heating assembly. If the air flow temperature of the humidified air flow is too high, the thawing box 140 and the respective components are easily damaged.

Specifically, the set temperature range may be adjusted according to the air flow temperature of the defrosting air flow, for example, the temperature of the defrosting air flow is 30 ℃, and then the air flow temperature of the humidifying air flow at the outlet of the atomizing head 131 may be also 30 ℃ by heating the humidifying water. Therefore, after the humidified airflow and the defrosting airflow are mixed, the air flow temperature of the defrosting airflow is not greatly influenced, and the expected defrosting effect is favorably realized.

In one example, the heating element may be a heating wire 134, the heating wire 134 being arranged along the bottom of the water reservoir 155 to submerge itself in the humidification water. The capacity of the water storage tank 155 may be 60ml to 1000ml, and the power of the heating wire 134 may be 0.5W to 20W. Specifically, the power of the heating wire 134 can be selected according to the capacity of the water storage tank 155, so that the temperature of the humidifying water can be increased to meet the requirement within a preset time, and the thawing process of the object to be thawed is prevented from being influenced due to long waiting time.

Considering that the atomizing head 131 is fixed on the water storage box, and the water storage box can be pushed out or pushed into the thawing compartment 141 synchronously with the thawing drawer 150, a power supply mode of the atomizing head 131 needs to be reasonably set.

In this embodiment, the humidifying assembly further includes a wireless power supply for connecting the atomizing head 131 to an external power source and for controllably operating the atomizing head 131.

Specifically, the wireless power supply includes a transmitting coil 132 and a receiving coil 133, the transmitting coil 132 may be fixed to the drawer cover 152, the receiving coil 133 may be fixed to the thawing compartment 141, and the transmitting coil 132 and the receiving coil 133 are disposed up and down opposite to each other when the thawing drawer 150 is completely pushed into the thawing compartment 141.

The transmitting coil 132 and the receiving coil 133 are disposed in a vertically opposed manner in an inclined posture in the present embodiment, and the distance between them is 10mm or less, limited by the layout of the flow promoting assembly 110 and the free size of the defrosting compartment 141. However, in the case where the thawing compartment 141 is sufficiently wide, it is sufficient that the transmitting coil 132 and the receiving coil 133 are opposed to each other vertically in a horizontal posture. The working principle of the wireless power supply is well known to those skilled in the art, and thus is not described herein.

In particular, the bottom of the drawer cover 152 may be provided with a sealing cover 157, and the sealing cover 157 is mainly used to protect the atomizing head 131 from damage to the atomizing head 131 during the movement of the drawer cover 152. A humidifying port 158 is provided at a position corresponding to the sealing cap 157 and the atomizing head 131, and humidified air flow generated by the atomizing head 131 can be blown into the drawer body 151 through the humidifying port 158.

The receiving coil 133 may also be disposed in a cavity formed between the sealing cover 157 and the drawer cover 152, thereby sealing and protecting the receiving coil 133, preventing the receiving coil 133 from being damaged, and improving the service life of the receiving coil 133.

In an alternative embodiment, the low temperature and high humidity thawing apparatus 10 may further include a barrier basket 160, the barrier basket 160 being disposed in the thawing compartment 141, and in the case that the thawing compartment 141 is provided with the thawing drawer 150 in a push-pull manner, the barrier basket 160 may be disposed in the thawing drawer 150 for placing the thawing objects, and a plurality of ventilation holes 163 for the thawing air to pass through are defined at the outer circumference of the barrier basket 160.

In this way, after the flow promoting assembly 110 is opened, the defrosting air flow flowing circularly is promoted to form in the defrosting compartment 141, and the defrosting air flow can contact with all parts of the object to be defrosted through the ventilation holes 163 on the periphery of the fence basket 160, so that uniform heat exchange with the object to be defrosted is performed, and the uniformity of defrosting is improved.

The barrier basket 160 may include a bottom basket 161 and side baskets 162 extending upward from the circumference of the bottom basket 161, and a storage tank 164 accommodating the objects to be thawed is defined between the bottom basket 161 and each side basket 162. In this way, contact between the object to be thawed and the side wall of the thawing drawer 150 can be prevented, and contamination of the surface of the object to be thawed can be prevented.

In the actual use process, the to-be-thawed objects and the thawing drawer 150 can be isolated by the arrangement of the fence basket 160, so that after one thawing operation is completed, the fence basket 160 is only required to be taken out for cleaning, frequent cleaning of the thawing drawer 150 is not required, and the use experience of a user is improved.

The bottom basket 161 and the side basket 162 of the barrier basket 160 may be formed by a plurality of rails which are alternately spliced, and ventilation holes 163 are formed between the adjacent rails. In the embodiment of the utility model shown in the drawings, the partial rails of the bottom basket 161 are disposed in the depth direction of the thawing drawer 150, and the partial rails are disposed in the transverse direction of the thawing drawer 150, and are spliced together in a staggered manner. The partial rails of the side baskets 162 on the left and right sides are disposed in the depth direction of the thawing drawer 150, and the partial rails are disposed in the height direction of the thawing drawer 150, and are spliced together in a staggered manner. The partial rails of the side baskets 162 at the front and rear sides are arranged in the transverse direction of the thawing drawer 150, and the partial rails are arranged in the height direction of the thawing drawer 150 and are spliced together in a staggered manner.

In some preferred embodiments, the bottom basket 161 and the side baskets 162 of the barrier basket 160 may be of a unitary structure. The fence basket 160 may be made of stainless steel, and the stainless steel fence basket 160 is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and can be used for a long time.

The barrier basket 160 may further include at least two stand columns 165, and the stand columns 165 serve to prop up the bottom basket 161. In the embodiment of the present utility model shown in the drawings, two upright posts 165 are provided at lateral intervals on the side baskets 162 on both front and rear sides of the fence basket 160, respectively. Since the objects to be thawed become loose after being thawed, the objects to be thawed are easily spread on the bottom basket 161, and are partially extruded under the vent holes 163 under the action of weight, the portion of the objects to be thawed extruded under the vent holes 163 can be prevented from contacting the bottom wall of the thawing drawer 150 by the upright post 165.

In addition, in the thawing process, the defrosting water generated by the object to be thawed can also drip through the vent holes 163, so that juice separation is realized, and the soaking effect of the defrosting water on the object to be thawed is prevented.

At least one handle is provided on the gabion 160. The handle 166 is provided to facilitate the user's lifting and lowering of the gabion 160 before and after thawing.

In one example, one handle 166 is provided on both front and rear sides of the gabion 160. For the front side handle 166 or the rear side handle 166, it may be formed of two uprights 165 on the front side or the rear side. The top ends of the two uprights 165 extend upwardly beyond the side basket 162 and then extend opposite each other above the side basket 162 to form the handle 166.

The basket 160 in this embodiment is removably disposed within the thawing drawer 150, but in other embodiments, the basket 160 may be fixedly disposed within the thawing drawer 150.

The fence basket 160 and the side wall of the thawing drawer 150 should be spaced at least 1mm apart, so as to prevent the substances to be thawed from contacting with the side wall of the thawing drawer 150 after being loosened, and further ensure the cleanness and sanitation of the substances to be thawed after thawing. The area of the vent 163 may be 0.5cm ² 、1.0cm ² 、1.5cm ² 、2.0cm ² The vent 163 should be of a moderate size to minimize the amount of material to be thawed from being loosened and then squeezed under the vent 163.
