Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, and particularly relates to a processing equipment for rotatably and efficiently and uniformly pickling foods. Background Art

[0002] In the food processing industry, pickling, as an important means of food preservation and flavor imparting, its processing efficiency and pickling uniformity play a crucial role in product quality and production benefits.

[0003] Traditional pickling methods have many drawbacks. In terms of pickling equipment, early on, static pickling containers such as pickling vats were mostly used. Foods were left standing in them for a long time, and only relying on natural penetration to make the pickling liquid diffuse, which led to an extremely slow pickling process. It often took several hours or even several days to complete, seriously affecting production efficiency. Moreover, due to the lack of an effective stirring or turning mechanism, the pickling liquid was difficult to be evenly distributed to all parts of the food, and uneven pickling was likely to occur. Some foods were too salty while some had insufficient flavor, and the consistency of product quality could not be guaranteed.

[0004] With the development of technology, some simple mechanical stirring pickling equipment has emerged. Although it has accelerated the diffusion speed of the pickling liquid to a certain extent, the equipment is not convenient enough in feeding and discharging operations. A large amount of food needs to be manually loaded and unloaded, resulting in high labor intensity and easy secondary pollution of the food. At the same time, when feeding is required, usually the operator needs to move the loading trolley to the vicinity of different drums respectively and then perform the feeding operation, which is rather cumbersome to operate. In large-scale production, the limitations of this kind of equipment become more obvious and it cannot meet the growing market demand.

[0005] In summary, developing a rotary pickling equipment that can improve pickling efficiency, ensure pickling uniformity, and at the same time has convenient feeding and discharging operations has become an urgent problem to be solved in the food processing field.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1-12 , a processing device for rotatably and efficiently and uniformly pickling food, comprising a housing 1, support columns 11, a first motor 111, a top cover 12, a plurality of drums 2, a vacuum pump 22, and a plurality of hollow shafts 21. The top of the housing 1 is open, and the cross-section of the housing 1 is convex. The support columns 11 are rotatably installed on the bottom inner wall of the housing 1. The first motor 111 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 1, and the output shaft of the first motor 111 is axially fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support column 11. The top cover 12 is fixedly installed at the top end of the support column 11 and is adapted to the top opening of the housing 1. A plurality of hollow shafts 21 are all radially rotatably installed on the support column 11. A plurality of drums 2 are respectively sealed and rotatably installed on the corresponding hollow shafts 21. An installation groove is formed at the top end of the support column 11, and the vacuum pump 22 is fixedly installed in the installation groove. A delivery pipe 23 is connected to the vacuum pump 22, and the delivery pipe 23 is provided with multiple heads and fixedly installed with a plurality of pressure relief valves 25. Elastic pipes 24 communicated with the corresponding hollow shafts 21 are fixedly installed on the plurality of hollow shafts 21, and the plurality of elastic pipes 24 are all connected to the delivery pipe 23; Rotating rings 33 are rotatably installed on the plurality of drums 2. Support rods 32 are hingedly installed on the plurality of rotating rings 33. An electric cylinder 31 is fixedly installed on the top side of the top cover 12. A top plate 3 is fixedly installed on the electric cylinder 31. The top ends of the plurality of support rods 32 are all hingedly installed on the bottom side of the top plate 3, so that the inclination angle of the drum 2 can be adjusted as needed, facilitating operations such as feeding and discharging of the drum 2. At the same time, in order to avoid the situation of movement interference between the support rod 32 and the top cover 12 as the top plate 3 moves, a plurality of through holes are formed in the top cover 12, and the plurality of support rods 32 respectively penetrate through the corresponding through holes; Arc-shaped openings with the same number as the drums 2 are formed at a lower position on the outer side of the housing 1. A plurality of strip-shaped plates 4 respectively extending to the outside of the housing 1 through the corresponding arc-shaped openings are fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the housing 1. The number of strip-shaped plates 4 in the same arc-shaped opening is two and they are kept parallel to each other. Two rotating shafts 41 arranged parallel to each other are rotatably installed on the two strip-shaped plates 4 in the same arc-shaped opening. Conveyor rollers 42 are fixedly sleeved on the two rotating shafts 41. The same conveyor belt 43 is drivingly connected to the two conveyor rollers 42, which can receive the pickled food discharged from the drum 2 and discharge it from the housing 1 when the conveyor belt 43 works; A mounting seat 6 is fixedly installed on one of the hollow shafts 21. A second motor 61 is fixedly installed on the mounting seat 6. A driving gear 62 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the second motor 61. A driven gear disk 63 is fixedly installed on the roller 2 near the second motor 61 with the hollow shaft 21 where the mounting seat 6 is located as the center.

A top gear disk 51 is rotatably installed on the bottom side of the top cover 12 with the support column 11 as the center. Fixed gear disks 5 are fixedly sleeved on multiple rollers 2. A bottom gear disk 52 is rotatably installed on the support column 11. A driving gear disk 53 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the bottom gear disk 52. The driving gear disk 53 meshes with the multiple driving gears 54. The multiple fixed gear disks 5 all mesh with the top gear disk 51, and the multiple fixed gear disks 5 are all adapted to the bottom gear disk 52. When the roller 2 is in a horizontal state, when one of the rollers 2 rotates, it can drive the other rollers 2 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, when the multiple rollers 2 are in a discharging state, the multiple fixed gear disks 5 can all enter into a meshing state with the bottom gear disk 52, so that when one of the rollers 2 rotates, it can also control the other rollers 2 to maintain a synchronous rotation state, and when the roller 2 is in a discharging state, it can control the conveyor belt 43 to start conveying work.

[0024] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that multiple rollers 2 are synchronously adjusted in inclination angle, and at the same time achieve a stable support effect for the multiple rollers 2 in the working state, multiple guide rods 301 that are slidably connected to the top plate 3 and are arranged parallel to each other are fixedly installed on the top side of the top cover 12.

[0025] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the food pickled in the roller 2 can be stably discharged onto the corresponding conveyor belt 43 when the discharge port of the roller 2 is in a downward inclined state for discharging, multiple guide plates 44 that are inclined towards the corresponding conveyor belt 43 are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the housing 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the operator to perform operations such as feeding materials into the roller 2, and at the same time provide multiple workstations for fixing operations such as feeding materials, the operator can perform operations such as feeding materials into multiple rollers 2 passing through the operation port position without walking in the workshop, greatly reducing the working intensity of the operator. In order to be able to stably align the roller 2 that needs to be fed with the corresponding operation port when feeding materials into the roller 2 from the operation port position, and at the same time avoid the synchronous rotation of the support column 11 when controlling the rotation of the roller 2, multiple operation ports are opened at the upper position on the outer side of the housing 1, and the first motor 111 is a braking motor.

[0027] For the circuits, electronic components, and module mechanisms involved, existing technologies are adopted, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art without further elaboration. The content protected by this application does not involve improvements to software, circuits, and methods either.

[0028] Working principle: When in use, first turn on the power supply to start Motor 111 to control the support column 11 to drive the top cover 12 to rotate synchronously, so that multiple drums 2 are respectively aligned with the corresponding operation ports. Then, after opening the drum 2, put the materials and ingredients to be added into the drum 2 and close the drum 2. Then start Motor 261. Motor 261 controls the leftmost drum 2 to rotate self - by driving gear 62 cooperating with driven sprocket 63. The self - rotation of the left drum 2 will drive the left fixed sprocket 5 to rotate synchronously. With the cooperation of upper sprocket 51 and other fixed sprockets 5, multiple drums 2 can rotate synchronously, so as to control the pickled food in the drum 2 to tumble. At the same time, start the vacuum pump 22. The vacuum pump 22 performs a vacuum pumping operation on the drum 2 through the delivery pipe 23 and the elastic pipe 24, so as to enable the pickled food in the drum 2 to be efficiently and evenly kneaded, and then an efficient and uniform pickling operation can be realized. When discharging is required after processing, open the drum 2 and then control the top plate 3 to move downward by the electric cylinder 31. With the cooperation of the support rod 32 and the rotating ring 33, the outlet of the drum 2 can be controlled to deflect downward. As the drum 2 deflects, the fixed sprocket 5 and the lower sprocket 52 can be engaged, so that multiple drums 2 can continue to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the transmission sprocket 53 drives multiple transmission gears 54 to rotate synchronously, so that the conveyor belt 43 can start to convey. As the drum 2 rotates self - in the inclined state, the pickled food can be discharged from the drum 2, and with the cooperation of the guide plate 44, the materials can be stably discharged onto the corresponding conveyor belt 43 and conveyed out of the housing 1.

[0029] The above has introduced in detail a processing device for rotatably and efficiently and evenly pickling food provided by the present invention. Specific embodiments are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can still be made to the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
