Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural and sideline food processing, and relates to a ham pickling and kneading device and method for agricultural and sideline food processing. Background Art

[0002] In the field of agricultural and sideline food processing, ham is a traditional and popular food. Its curing process is crucial to the quality and taste of the final product. Traditional ham curing methods mainly rely on manual operations, including manual salting, kneading and massaging. These methods are not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but the curing effect is often limited by the operator's experience and skill level, making it difficult to ensure product consistency and stability.

[0003] With the continuous development of food processing technology, some mechanized ham curing equipment has gradually appeared on the market. These devices have improved the curing efficiency to a certain extent, but there are still many shortcomings. For example, the existing curing equipment is often not stable enough when clamping the ham, which can easily cause the ham to shake or shift during the curing process, affecting the curing effect; the design of the salt-spreading mechanism is not precise enough, making it difficult to achieve uniform distribution of salt, resulting in uneven curing of the ham; in addition, the functions of the kneading and massaging mechanisms are relatively simple, and they cannot simulate the complex movements of manual kneading and massaging, making it difficult to achieve an ideal curing effect.

[0004] Specifically, in the ham curing process, the firmness of clamping is one of the key factors to ensure the curing effect. However, existing curing equipment often lacks an effective adjustment mechanism when clamping ham, and cannot adapt to hams of different sizes and shapes, resulting in loose clamping or excessive clamping, thus affecting the curing effect. At the same time, the accuracy of the salting mechanism is also an important factor affecting the curing quality. Traditional salting methods often rely on manual operation or simple mechanical devices, which make it difficult to achieve quantitative and uniform salt spreading, resulting in uneven salt distribution during the ham curing process, affecting the taste and quality.

[0005] In addition, kneading and massaging mechanisms also play a vital role in the ham curing process. Kneading and massaging can promote the penetration of salt into the ham, while improving the texture and taste of the ham. However, the design of the kneading and massaging mechanisms of existing curing equipment cannot simulate the complex movements of manual kneading and massaging, resulting in poor curing effect.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a ham pickling and kneading device and method for agricultural and sideline food processing to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a ham pickling and kneading device and method for agricultural and sideline food processing in order to solve the problems that the existing pickling equipment is often not stable enough when clamping the ham, which easily causes the ham to shake or shift during the pickling process, affecting the pickling effect; the design of the salt spreading mechanism is not precise enough, and it is difficult to achieve uniform distribution of salt, resulting in uneven pickling of the ham; in addition, the functions of the kneading and massaging mechanism are relatively simple, and it is impossible to simulate the complex movements of manual kneading and massaging, making it difficult to achieve an ideal pickling effect.

[0052] S5. The rotating rod drives the pressing plate through the arc hole of the driving disk to knead the ham. When the pressing force is too large, the pressing plate rotates to drive the second sliding column to disengage from the arc hole and reset under the action of the third spring.

[0053] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0054] 1. The present invention discloses a ham pickling and kneading device for agricultural and sideline food processing. By arranging two clamping plates with adjustable spacing, in conjunction with a second electric push rod and a second guide rod, the device can stably and accurately clamp the small end of the ham, thereby preventing the ham from shaking or shifting during the pickling process and ensuring a uniform pickling effect. At the same time, the first motor drives the mounting plate to rotate, so that the ham can be adjusted at multiple angles to meet the requirements of different pickling processes, thereby improving the flexibility and applicability of the device. In addition, the support wheel realizes stable support for the ham through the combined design of the first guide rod, the sleeve rod, the first spring and the support plate, and can automatically adjust the support height according to the size and weight of the ham, thereby ensuring the stability of the ham during the pickling process.

[0055] 2. The present invention discloses a ham pickling and kneading device for processing agricultural and sideline foods. The salt-spreading mechanism adopts a design in which a baffle cover is connected to a rotating rod through a transmission mechanism. The combination of an eccentric wheel, a rotating ring and a connecting rod is used to realize the reciprocating swing of the baffle cover, thereby accurately controlling the opening and closing of the material hole at the bottom of the salt hopper, and realizing a timed and quantitative salt-spreading operation. This not only improves the salt-spreading efficiency, but also ensures the uniform distribution of salt on the surface of the ham, thereby improving the pickling quality.

[0056] 3. The present invention discloses a ham pickling and kneading device for processing agricultural and sideline foods. The massage head realizes adaptive pressing on the surface of the ham through the design of the first sliding column, the second spring and the extension strip. The pressing force can be automatically adjusted according to the unevenness of the ham surface to avoid damage to the ham. At the same time, the second motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, driving the massage head to rotate around the ham, simulating manual kneading action, effectively promoting salt penetration and relaxation of the internal tissue of the ham, and improving the pickling effect.

[0057] 4. The present invention discloses a ham pickling and kneading device for agricultural and sideline food processing. The kneading mechanism realizes the kneading operation of the ham through the combined design of the driving disk, the arc-shaped hole, the second sliding column and the pressing plate. When the driving disk rotates, the arc-shaped hole drives the second sliding column to move, and then drives the pressing plate to knead the ham. At the same time, the design of the third spring and the sliding block enables the pressing plate to maintain a certain force during the kneading process, and automatically adjusts the kneading force according to the hardness of the ham, thereby avoiding damage to the ham caused by excessive kneading.

[0058] 5. The present invention discloses a ham pickling and kneading device for processing agricultural and sideline foods. The bracket realizes precise movement and positioning on the receiving frame through the combined design of a reciprocating screw, a sliding seat and a third motor, which facilitates the pickling and kneading operations on different parts of the ham. At the same time, the design of the first electric push rod enables the bracket to be flipped, further expanding the range and flexibility of pickling and kneading.

[0074] Example 1

[0075] like Figures 1-9 As shown, a ham curing and kneading device for agricultural and sideline food processing primarily consists of a support platform 1, a receiving frame 4, a clamping mechanism, a kneading mechanism, a salting mechanism, and a kneading mechanism. The support platform 1 serves as the basic support structure for the entire device, with the receiving frame 4 fixedly mounted on top. The receiving frame 4 is an open structure that accommodates the ham 7 and various operating components. An electrical cabinet 2 is located on one side of the support platform 1, providing power and control systems for the electrical components. A control panel 3 is also located on the other side of the support platform 1 for user operation.

[0076] A first motor 6 is also mounted on one side of the receiving frame 4. A mounting plate 26 is also provided on the other side of the receiving frame 4. The output end of the first motor 6 is connected to the mounting plate 26. By controlling the rotation of the first motor 6, the mounting plate 26 and the clamped ham 7 can be rotated, thereby flipping the ham 7 and facilitating the processing of different parts of the ham 7. Two clamping plates 11 are mounted on one side of the mounting plate 26. One clamping plate 11 is directly welded to the mounting plate 26, and the other clamping plate 11 is welded to the output end of a second electric push rod 25. The second electric push rod 25 is fixed to the mounting plate 26 by bolts. By controlling the extension and retraction of the second electric push rod 25, the distance between the two clamping plates 11 can be adjusted, thereby clamping the small end of the ham 7.

[0077] In order to ensure the stability of the movement of the splint 11, a plurality of second guide rods 24 are fixedly provided on one side of the splint 11. These second guide rods 24 are all slidably provided on the mounting plate 26. When the second electric push rod 25 drives the splint 11 to move, the second guide rods 24 slide on the mounting plate 26 to play a guiding role.

[0078] The clamping plate 11 is provided with protrusions 23 (medical-grade silicone bumps). These protrusions 23 increase the contact area between the clamping plate 11 and the ham 7, making the clamping more stable and preventing the ham 7 from sliding during processing.

[0079] A plurality of supporting wheels 5 for supporting the ham 7 are movably provided in the receiving frame 4;

[0080] Bracket 8 is movably mounted on receiving frame 4. Its specific movement is as follows: a mounting bracket 13 is bolted to one side of receiving frame 4. A reciprocating screw 14 is rotatably mounted within mounting bracket 13 via a bearing. A third motor 15 is bolted to one side of mounting bracket 13, with the output end of third motor 15 fixedly connected to reciprocating screw 14. A sliding seat 16 is hingedly mounted at the bottom of bracket 8. A first electric push rod 17 is rotatably mounted on the top of sliding seat 16 via a rotating shaft. The output end of first electric push rod 17 is rotatably connected to bracket 8 via a rotating shaft. The extension and retraction of first electric push rod 17 drives bracket 8 to rotate on sliding seat 16, facilitating placement of ham 7 after flipping. The distance between bracket 8 and ham 7 can also be adjusted during flipping. Sliding seat 16 is slidably mounted on reciprocating screw 14 via a slider. When third motor 15 is activated, it drives reciprocating screw 14 to rotate, causing sliding seat 16 and bracket 8 to reciprocate along reciprocating screw 14.

[0081] A rotating rod 32 (with a rotation speed range of 10-30 rpm) is rotatably mounted on the top of bracket 8 via a bearing. A first sliding post 36 slides within the rotating rod 32. A second spring 37 (with a stiffness parameter of 2-8 N / mm) is sleeved on the outer wall of the first sliding post 36 and positioned within the rotating rod 32. The two ends of the second spring 37 respectively contact the outer wall of the first sliding post 36 and the top wall of the rotating rod 32 via a connecting seat. A massage head 9 is connected to the bottom of the first sliding post 36 via an extension bar 35, which is used to press the ham 7.

[0082] The top of the bracket 8 is connected to the second motor 10 by bolts. The output end of the second motor 10 is connected to the rotating rod 32 through two meshing gears 33. When the second motor 10 is started, it drives the rotating rod 32 to rotate, thereby causing the massage head 9 to rotate around the rotating rod 32 to knead the ham 7.

[0083] During the process of the massage head 9 kneading the ham 7, the first sliding column 36 can slide in the rotating rod 32 according to the shape and hardness of the surface of the ham 7. The second spring 37 plays a buffering role, so that the pressure of the massage head 9 is evenly distributed, avoiding damage to the ham 7, increasing the massage intensity of the raised parts and reducing the massage intensity of the recessed parts, and cooperating with the rotation of the ham 7 so that it can be evenly massaged with different sizes.

[0084] The salt spreading mechanism includes a salt hopper 29 welded to one side of the bracket 8 (with a heating plate (<50°C) installed on the side wall to prevent salt particles from clumping). The bottom of the salt hopper 29 is provided with a material hole for spreading salt particles. Two rotating seats 27 are welded to one side of the bracket 8. A shield 28 is rotatably installed between the two rotating seats 27 and located at the bottom of the salt hopper 29. The shield 28 is used to seal the material hole at the bottom of the salt hopper 29.

[0085] The shield 28 is connected to the rotating rod 32 through a transmission assembly.

[0086] The kneading mechanism includes two pressing plates 43 slidably mounted within the bracket 8. These plates are used to knead the ham 7. The kneading mechanism also includes a drive plate 31 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating rod 32. The top of the drive plate 31 defines two arcuate holes 34. A second sliding post 44 is positioned on the top of the pressing plates 43, positioned within the arcuate holes 34.

[0087] Two third guide rods 41 are fixedly mounted within the bracket 8. Sliding blocks 49 are slidably mounted on the outer walls of the third guide rods 41. A third spring 42 is mounted on the outer walls of the third guide rods 41. The ends of the third spring 42 respectively contact one inner wall of the bracket 8 and one side of the sliding blocks 49 via connectors. A pressure plate 43 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the sliding blocks 49. A second sliding post 44 is disposed within the sliding blocks 49 and cooperates with the pressure plate 43.

[0088] Two fourth guide rods 47 slide within the sliding block 49. A second sliding post 44 is welded to the tops of the two fourth guide rods 47. A tension spring 48, located within the sliding block 49, is sleeved on the outer walls of the fourth guide rods 47. The ends of the tension spring 48, through connectors, respectively contact the tops of the fourth guide rods 47 and the bottom wall of the sliding block 49. The bottom of the fourth guide rods 47 contacts the pressure plate 43, which has a beveled edge 45 on one side that cooperates with the fourth guide rods 47. A rubber pad 46 is installed on the top of one side of the pressure plate 43 to cooperate with the sliding block 49 and limit the pressure plate 43.

[0089] When the rotating rod 32 rotates, it drives the drive disc 31, causing the position of the arc-shaped hole 34 to change, allowing the second sliding post 44 to slide within the arc-shaped hole 34. During the sliding process, the second sliding post 44 drives the sliding block 49 to move, thereby driving the pressure plate 43 toward the ham 7. When contact is made, the pressure plate 43 kneads the ham 7. When the squeezing force is strong, the pressure plate 43 squeezes the rubber pad 46, causing it to deform and tilt. When the beveled edge 45 aligns with the two fourth guide rods 47, the tension spring 48 drives the fourth guide rods 47 downward, causing the bottom ends of the fourth guide rods 47 to contact the beveled edge 45, and driving the second sliding post 44 out of the arc-shaped hole 34. When the second sliding post 44 is out of the arc-shaped hole 34, the sliding block 49 is able to return to its original position under the elastic force of the third spring 42, and the sliding block 49 drives the pressure plate 43 to return to its original position. At the same time, the pressing plate 43 can reset and swing under its own gravity, so that the pressing plate 43 is vertical downward, and squeezes the fourth guide rod 47 to move upward, stretching the tension spring 48, and driving the second sliding column 44 to reset upward. At the same time, the driving disk 31 rotates, so that the second sliding column 44 is inserted into the arc hole 34 again, preparing for the next kneading operation.

[0090] Example 2

[0091] Reference Figures 1-9 The present invention provides a novel technical solution, a ham pickling and kneading device for processing agricultural and sideline foods. The transmission assembly includes an eccentric wheel 38 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of a rotating rod 32. A rotating ring 39 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the eccentric wheel 38 via a bearing. A connecting rod 40 is rotatably mounted between the shield 28 and the rotating ring 39. When the rotating rod 32 rotates, the eccentric wheel 38 rotates, thereby causing the rotating ring 39 and the connecting rod 40 to move, driving the shield 28 to swing back and forth. When the shield 28 swings, the material hole at the bottom of the salt hopper 29 opens, and salt grains are dispersed, thereby achieving the salting operation of the ham 7.

[0092] The support wheel 5 is bolted to the top of the first fixed plate 18. A support plate 22 is welded to the bottom of the support platform 1, and two sleeve rods 20 are bolted to the support plate 22. A first guide rod 19 slides within the sleeve rod 20, and a first spring 21 is installed within the sleeve rod 20. The ends of the first spring 21 respectively contact the bottom of the first guide rod 19 and the bottom wall of the sleeve rod 20 through a connecting seat. The two first guide rods 19 slide through the top of the support platform 1 and the receiving frame 4, and their tops are welded to the first fixed plate 18.

[0093] When the ham 7 is placed on the support wheel 5, the support wheel 5 is subjected to the pressure of the ham 7, and the first spring 21 is compressed, acting as a buffer to prevent the ham 7 from being damaged by excessive pressure. At the same time, the elastic force of the first spring 21 enables the support wheel 5 to automatically adjust its height according to the shape and weight of the ham 7, ensuring the stability of the ham 7 during processing.

[0094] When in use, the manipulator clamps the ham 7 and places the ham 7 on the receiving frame 4 so that one end of the ham 7 is located between the two clamping plates 11. The second electric push rod 25 is activated to extend. During the extension process of the second electric push rod 25, the clamping plate 11 can be driven to move and cooperate with the other clamping plate 11 to clamp the ham 7.

[0095] The first electric push rod 17 is started to extend. During the extension of the first electric push rod 17, the bracket 8 can be driven to rotate on the sliding seat 16, so that the bottom end of the massage head 9 contacts the surface of the ham 7 and the salt is poured into the salt hopper 29. The third motor 15 is started to drive the reciprocating screw 14 to rotate. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 14 can drive the sliding seat 16 to move through the spiral slide and the slider. The movement of the sliding seat 16 can drive the bracket 8 to move along the length direction of the ham 7. At the same time, the second motor 10 is started. The second motor 10 can drive the rotating rod 32 to rotate through the meshing gear 33. The rotation of the rotating rod 32 can drive the first sliding column 36 to rotate. The rotation of the first sliding column 36 can drive the massage head 9 to rotate through the extension bar 35 to massage the ham 7. At the same time, the first sliding column 36 can rise and fall along the contour of the surface of the ham 7 and cooperate with the second spring 37 to apply pressure. Since the surface of the ham 7 is curved, the pressing force in the middle of the arc is large and the pressing force at the edge of the arc is small, and the massage head 9 can be driven to move and rotate along the length direction of the ham 7.

[0096] The rotation of the rotating rod 32 can also drive the eccentric wheel 38 to rotate, and the rotation of the eccentric wheel 38 can drive the rotating ring 39 to move. The movement of the rotating ring 39 can drive the blocking cover 28 to swing through the connecting rod 40. When the blocking cover 28 is away from the material hole at the bottom of the salt hopper 29, the salt particles in the salt hopper 29 will be discharged through the material hole, so that the salt particles fall on the surface of the ham 7. When the massage head 9 moves to the sprinkling area, it can knead the salt particles.

[0097] The rotation of the rotating rod 32 can also drive the driving disk 31 to rotate. During the rotation of the driving disk 31, the arc-shaped hole 34 and the second sliding column 44 can be used to drive the sliding block 49 to move. The movement of the sliding block 49 can drive the pressing plate 43 to approach the ham 7, slide along the third guide rod 41 to compress the third spring 42, and when the pressing plate 43 contacts the ham 7, it continues to move to squeeze the rubber pad 46, which can imitate the pressure of the hand on the ham 7 and cooperate with the massage head 9 to form a multi-directional kneading and pressing, causing the rubber pad 46 to deform. 3 can rotate at the bottom of the sliding block 49. When the oblique edge 45 corresponds to the fourth guide rod 47, the second sliding post 44 can move downward under the force of the tension spring 48, so that the top end of the second sliding post 44 is separated from the arc-shaped hole 34. During the separation process, the sliding block 49 can return to the original position under the force of the third spring 42. When the pressing plate 43 moves away from the ham 7, it can return to the original position and rotate under gravity, driving the fourth guide rod 47 to move upward. When the second sliding post 44 corresponds to the arc-shaped hole 34 again, it can be inserted into the arc-shaped hole 34 again.

[0098] When the massage head 9 moves to one side of the splint 11, it will move in the opposite direction and start the first motor 6 to drive the mounting plate 26 to rotate. During the rotation of the mounting plate 26, the two splints 11 can be used to drive the ham 7 to rotate, so that it can rub the surface of the ham 7 in turn. During the rotation, the ham 7 can be guided by the support wheel 5 below and squeeze the support wheel 5 below, so that the support wheel 5 drives the first guide rod 19 to move downward along the sleeve rod 20 through the first fixed plate 18, compressing the first spring 21, and at the same time starting the first electric push rod 17 to retract, driving the bracket 8 to rotate on the sliding seat 16, thereby adjusting the height of the massage head 9.
