[0035] The following is a description of the implementation of the present invention by specific embodiments. People familiar with the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, a stinky mandarin fish pickling device in an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention comprises a heat-insulating outer shell 1, an inner shell 2 is installed on the inner side of the heat-insulating outer shell 1, a drain rack 6 is installed on the inner side of the inner shell 2, a mesh plate 7 is installed on the upper surface of the drain rack 6, and a cavity is provided between the drain rack 6 and the mesh plate 7 for draining water, so that impure water (such as blood water) generated during the pickling process is separated from the fish carcass, so that during the pickling process of the stinky mandarin fish, the discharged impure water can be prevented from being pickled back into the fish meat to affect the flavor;

[0038] The drain rack 6 is arranged in a spiral shape, and the longitudinal section of the drain rack 6 is in a "V" shape, so that the impurity water body generated during the pickling process can flow downward along the upper surface of the drain rack 6 to the bottom of the installation inner shell 2. The bottom of the installation inner shell 2 is provided with a plurality of hole-like structures, so that the discharged impurity water body can continue to be discharged downward and enter the heat-insulating outer shell 1;

[0039] After the impurity water is discharged to the outside, the environmental humidity in the installation inner shell 2 and the outer surface of the fish carcass will become dry, which is easy to affect the pickling of the smelly mandarin fish, so the upper side of the drain rack 6 is provided with a liquid guide tube 15 installed in the installation inner shell 2, and the liquid guide tube 15 is arranged in a spiral shape. A plurality of atomizing nozzles 14 are installed on the upper side of the liquid guide tube 15, so that the marinade water entering the liquid guide tube 15 can be atomized by the atomizing nozzle 14 and then discharged into the installation inner shell 2, thereby covering the surface of the fish carcass, realizing humidification of the environment and the fish carcass, and further improving the flavor;

[0040] Specifically, one end of the liquid guide tube 15 is open and connected to the booster pump, and the other end of the liquid guide tube 15 is closed to facilitate pressurization. A thermometer and hygrometer 13 is installed on one side of the inner shell 2 to monitor the temperature and humidity inside the inner shell 2. When the ambient humidity inside the inner shell 2 is lower than 60%, marinade water and fermentation liquid are injected into the liquid guide tube 15, and the atomized marinade water and fermentation liquid are released into the inner shell 2.

[0041] A heat-conducting outer shell 8 is also installed on the lower surface of the liquid-draining rack 6, and a temperature-controlling tube 9 is installed on the inner side of the heat-conducting outer shell 8.

At the same time, the heat-conducting outer shell 8 is fixedly attached to the lower surface of the liquid-draining rack 6, so that the temperature control effect of the temperature-controlling tube 9 can be quickly transmitted to the liquid-draining rack 6, thereby realizing rapid heating or cooling of the inner environment of the installation inner shell 2;

[0042] A reinforcement ring 4 is fixed inside the upper end of the heat-insulating outer shell 1, and the inner side of the reinforcement ring 4 is fixed to the mounting inner shell 2, so that a vacuum cavity is formed between the heat-insulating outer shell 1 and the mounting inner shell 2, which can be used for heat preservation, thereby reducing the temperature change speed in the mounting inner shell 2;

[0043] A bottom support 10 is also installed in the vacuum chamber between the heat-insulating outer shell 1 and the installation inner shell 2, which is used to support the bottom of the installation inner shell 2, and the outer side of the bottom support 10 is inclined to facilitate the guidance of the water discharged from the installation inner shell 2. A reinforcement bracket 5 fixed to the bottom of the installation inner shell 2 is also provided on the outer side of the bottom support 10 to further increase the bottom support performance of the installation inner shell 2;

[0044] A liquid extraction pipe 16 is also installed on one side of the heat-insulating outer shell 1, and the outlet end of the liquid extraction pipe 16 is connected to a negative pressure pump, which can extract the impurity water body appearing at the bottom of the heat-insulating outer shell 1 to the outside, so as to prevent the impurity water body from evaporating and re-entering the installation inner shell 2;

[0045] A cover 3 is provided at the upper end of the installation inner shell 2. The longitudinal section of the cover 3 is in an "M" shape. The outer annular structure of the cover 3 is snap-fitted with the installation inner shell 2, so that the cover 3 can close the upper end opening of the installation inner shell 2.

[0046] The upper end height of the heat-insulating outer shell 1 is lower than the upper end height of the mounting inner shell 2, and an annular groove structure is formed between the heat-insulating outer shell 1 and the mounting inner shell 2 by using a reinforcement ring 4, so that the groove structure can contain water, thereby further improving the sealing effect between the cover 3 and the mounting inner shell 2;

[0047] A bottom support block 11 is also installed at the bottom of the heat-insulating shell 1, and a rubber sleeve 12 is sleeved on the outer side of the bottom support block 11 to reduce the contact between the bottom support block 11 and the ground, and the rubber sleeve 12 is used to reduce the cold bridge phenomenon.

[0048] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the heat-insulating outer shell 1 can be stacked on the upper side of the cover 3, and pressure can be applied to the cover 3 to increase the fit between the cover 3 and the mounting inner shell 2, while increasing the overall space utilization of the device.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, a method for pickling smelly mandarin fish in an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0053] During the pickling process, the amount of salt used is 1.5-2% of the weight of the fish, and the amount of auxiliary materials added is 0.5-1% of the weight of the fish. The pickling time can be adjusted according to actual needs to fully penetrate the flavor of salt and spices.

[0054] S3: Inoculation and fermentation: Apply the Rhizopus liquid evenly on the surface of the marinated mandarin fish, with an inoculation amount of 2% of the fish weight. Then, mix Lactobacillus DU-106 and Lactobacillus plantarum and spray evenly on the fish at an addition amount of 1.4%. These two lactic acid bacteria can work synergistically to promote the fermentation process of the fish, producing a unique flavor and taste.

[0055] S4: Fermentation control: The inoculated mandarin fish is placed in a constant temperature and humidity pickling device for fermentation, specifically placed on the upper surface of the mesh plate 7. The fermentation temperature is controlled at 15°C, and the fermentation time is set to 8 days. In this process, lactic acid bacteria and Rhizopus will decompose the protein and fat in the fish meat to produce various flavor substances and aroma components.

[0056] S5: Hot air drying: After fermentation is completed, the smelly mandarin fish is dried with hot air. The drying temperature is set at 70-80℃ to ensure that the fish meat can quickly remove excess moisture while maintaining a certain humidity.

[0057] S6: Packaging and slightly frozen storage: The dried smelly mandarin fish is vacuum packed or packaged in a modified atmosphere to extend its shelf life and maintain its flavor. The packaged product should be stored in an environment of -1 to -5°C.
