[0002] Chicken popcorn is a delicious dish that requires marinating. Chicken popcorn powder, when used with marinade, produces professional-quality chicken popcorn. To quickly marinate and enhance the texture of the chicken, a chicken tumbling device is used during marinating. Existing technology announcement CN212877482U discloses a chicken tumbling device, wherein: a side door is provided on one side of the machine body, and a tumbling motor is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the other side. A drive pulley is coaxially fixedly installed at the output end of the tumbling motor. The drive pulley is connected to a driven pulley via a transmission belt. A thrust bearing is provided below the driven pulley, and the thrust bearing is supported at the bottom of the machine body. The driven pulley is coaxially fixedly connected to a moving kneading disc. The moving kneading disc, driven pulley, and thrust bearing are sequentially mounted on the bottom of the main shaft from top to bottom. The main shaft is fixedly installed between the top and bottom of the machine body. A stationary kneading disc is mounted on the upper half of the main shaft. The bottom of the stationary kneading disc has evenly distributed perforations, and tumbling protrusions are provided in the gaps between the perforations. However, during use, it is necessary to insert one's arm into the machine to remove the chicken, which can cause the marinade to stick to the worker's arm and make it difficult to clean the inside.

Support plates are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base, and the marinating component is installed at the top of the base. The turning component is installed inside the marinating component, and the feeding and discharging component is installed on the outer wall of the marinating component. The marinade and popcorn chicken and meat chunks are added to the marinating component through the feeding and discharging component to marinate the popcorn chicken and meat chunks. At the same time, the turning component can turn and mix the popcorn chicken and meat chunks and the marinade, improving the marinating efficiency. In addition, the feeding and discharging component and the marinating component work together to quickly discharge the marinated popcorn chicken and meat chunks, improving work efficiency.
[0005] Preferably, the marinating component includes two upright plates, two rotating shafts, a geared motor, and a tumbling drum.

[0017] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.
[0018] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, support plates 2 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1. Two upright plates 3 are installed on the left and right sides of the top of the base 1. Rotating shafts 4 are installed at both ends of the tumbling drum 6. The rotating shafts 4 are rotatably installed on the upper part of the upright plates 3. The input end of the right rotating shaft 4 is connected to the output end of the geared motor 5. The geared motor 5 is installed on the outer wall of the right side of the upright plate 3 through a bracket. The outer wall of the tumbling drum 6 has inlet and outlet ports. The material pipe 7 is installed at the inlet and outlet ports. Bolt posts 8 are installed on the outer wall of the tumbling drum 6 on both sides of the material pipe 7. The sealing plate 9 is covered on the outside of the material pipe 7. Locking ears matching the bolt posts 8 are provided on both sides of the sealing plate 9. The wing nuts 10 are screwed onto the bolt posts 8. A sleeve is provided on the left side of the fixed gear 13. The sleeve is rotatably installed. Multiple rotating rods 14 are axially distributed and rotatably installed inside the tumbling drum 6 on the outside of the rotating shaft 4 and on the inner wall of the vertical plate 3. A drive gear 15 is installed on the left end of the rotating rod 14, and the drive gear 15 meshes with the fixed gear 13. Multiple stirring rods 16 are installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod 14, and tumbling plates 17 are installed on the stirring rods 16. Multiple round holes are opened on the tumbling plates 17. Two sets of fixed rods 19 are installed on the inner walls of the left and right vertical plates 3. The receiving groove 20 is installed between the two fixed rods 19 and is located below the tumbling drum 6. The controller 11 is installed at the front end of the vertical plate 3. Two handles 12 are installed at the top of the sealing plate 9. The protective cover 18 is installed on the inner wall of the left vertical plate 3 and is fitted outside the drive gear 15.
[0019] Marinade and chicken nuggets are easily added to the tumbling drum 6 through the feed pipe 7. The sealing plate 9 is installed on top of the feed pipe 7, and tightening the wing nut 10 secures the sealing plate 9, sealing the feed pipe 7. After the feed pipe 7 is opened, the reduction motor 5 drives the tumbling drum 6 to rotate, discharging the marinated chicken nuggets and improving discharge efficiency. After the marinade and chicken nuggets are added to the tumbling drum 6, the reduction motor 5 is started, driving the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The rotating shaft 4 then drives the tumbling drum 6, causing the marinade and chicken nuggets to rotate inside the tumbling drum 6. After moving upwards, the marinade and chicken nuggets fall back to the bottom of the tumbling drum 6. After tumbling, the chicken becomes more tender. The flavor is better. When the tumbling drum 6 rotates, the fixed gear 13 cooperates with the drive gear 15 to make the rotating rod 14 rotate. The rotating rod 14 drives multiple drive gears 15 and tumbling plates 17 to rotate, turning and stirring the marinade and chicken nuggets. The chicken is repeatedly pushed by the inclined tumbling plates 17 to fall to the bottom of the tumbling drum 6. This process is repeated many times to improve marinating efficiency. The chicken discharged through the feed pipe 7 falls into the receiving trough 20, which receives and guides the chicken for easy collection and storage. The controller 11 makes it easy to control the equipment, and the two handles 12 make it easy to pick up the sealing plate 9. The protective cover 18 protects the transmission components and improves safety.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model discloses a chicken nugget marinating and tumbling device. During operation, the controller 11 facilitates equipment control, and the feed pipe 7 allows for the addition of marinade and chicken nuggets into the tumbling drum 6. A sealing plate 9 is installed on top of the feed pipe 7, and tightening the wing nut 10 secures the sealing plate 9, sealing the feed pipe 7. After the marinade and chicken nuggets are added to the tumbling drum 6, the reduction motor 5 is started, driving the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The rotating shaft 4 then drives the tumbling drum 6 to rotate, causing the marinade and chicken nuggets to rotate within the tumbling drum 6. The rotation of the tumbling drum 6 is facilitated by the fixed gear 13. In conjunction with the drive gear 15, the rotating rod 14 rotates, which in turn drives multiple drive gears 15 and the tumbling plate 17 to rotate, stirring the marinade and popcorn chicken pieces. The chicken is repeatedly pushed down to the bottom of the tumbling drum 6 by the inclined tumbling plate 17. After repeated tumbling, the chicken becomes more tender and tastes better. After opening the feed pipe 7, the reduction motor 5 drives the tumbling drum 6 to rotate, which can discharge the marinated popcorn chicken pieces. The chicken discharged through the feed pipe 7 falls into the receiving trough 20, which receives and guides the chicken for easy collection and storage.
[0021] The geared motor 5 and controller 11 of the chicken nugget marinating and tumbling device of this utility model are commercially available. Technical personnel in this industry only need to install and operate them according to the accompanying instruction manual, without requiring any creative work from those skilled in the art.
[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model.
