Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meat marinating and processing technology, and in particular to a meat processing marinating device. Background Technology

[0002] Meat processing and marinating equipment is a specialized device used in the food processing industry to marinate meats (such as ham, sausages, bacon, and cured meat). It uses automated or semi-automatic methods to evenly penetrate the marinating solution (brine, spices, seasonings, etc.) into the meat to enhance flavor, extend shelf life, and improve taste.

[0003] In existing technologies, the conventional techniques for meat marinating and processing are tumbling marinating and stirring marinating. Tumbling marinating uses a rotating drum or a vacuum tumbler to mix the meat with the marinade. Mechanical force promotes penetration, but the meat mainly tumbles as a whole with the drum, resulting in monotonous movement, easy accumulation, and a large difference in movement between the inner and outer circles, leading to uneven marinating. In addition, vacuum equipment is expensive. Stirring marinating uses a stirring paddle to mix the meat with the marinade. There are dead zones in the stirring process, resulting in uneven mixing, and the meat is prone to clumping or excessive compression. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a meat processing and marinating device that improves the multi-directional movement of meat during marinating, promotes the uniformity of contact between meat and marinating liquid, increases the frequency of exchange between the inner and outer layers of meat in the mixing chamber, reduces marinating dead corners, and improves the marinating effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a meat processing and marinating device, including a storage tank, a top cover, a support assembly, and a stirring mechanism. The storage tank is disposed on the support assembly, and the top cover is hinged to the storage tank, forming a stirring chamber between the top cover and the storage tank. The stirring mechanism includes a first driving device, two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers, and multiple push plates. The two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers are rotatably connected to the stirring chamber via the first driving device, and the multiple push plates are disposed between the two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers.

[0007] The meat processing and marinating device of this utility model has a simple structure. The first driving device drives the stirring mechanism to rotate in the stirring chamber. Two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers push the meat to move left and right. Multiple pushing plates are used to exchange the inner and outer layers of the meat in the stirring chamber. At the same time, the marinating liquid in the collection tank is pushed to flow, which promotes the uniformity of contact between the meat and the marinating liquid and improves the marinating effect.

[0008] In addition, the meat processing and marinating apparatus proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0009] Specifically, the opposite end faces of the two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers are set as parallel inclined planes, and the shape of the two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers matches that of the stirring chamber.

[0010] Specifically, the plurality of push plates are arranged in a ring at equal intervals around the central axis of the stirring chamber, and the push plates are provided with through holes.

[0011] Specifically, the support assembly includes two symmetrically arranged upright plates and a base plate, wherein the two symmetrically arranged upright plates are disposed on the storage slot, and the base plate is disposed on the two symmetrically arranged upright plates.

[0012] Specifically, the top cover is provided with a lifting handle.

[0013] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0021] The meat processing and marinating apparatus of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the meat processing and marinating device of this utility model embodiment may include a storage tank 1, a top cover 2, a support assembly 3, and a stirring mechanism 4.

[0023] The storage tank 1 is mounted on the support component 3, and the upper cover 2 is hinged to the storage tank 1, forming a stirring chamber 5 between the upper cover 2 and the storage tank 1.

[0024] It should be noted that the support component 3 can stably support the storage tank 1, the top cover 2, the first drive device 41 and the stirring mechanism 4. A sealing strip is provided at the fastening connection between the top cover 2 and the storage tank 1. The sealing strip maintains the sealing effect of the stirring chamber 5 and prevents the marinating liquid from spilling out.

[0025] The stirring mechanism 4 includes a first driving device 41, two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers 42, and multiple push plates 43.

[0026] Two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers 42 are rotatably connected to the stirring chamber 5 via a first driving device 41, and multiple push plates 43 are disposed between the two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers 42.

[0027] It should be noted that the two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers 42 proposed in the above embodiment are connected by multiple push plates 43, and the first driving device 41 adopts a geared motor to slowly drive the two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers 42 to rotate synchronously.

[0028] Specifically, during the actual marinating process, the relevant staff open the top cover 2, pour the meat and marinade into the storage tank 1, then close the top cover 2, and start the first drive device 41. This drives two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers and multiple push plates 43 to rotate synchronously in the stirring chamber 5. At the same time, the push plates 43 prioritize pushing the meat near the bottom of the storage tank 1, and the meat at this position is at the bottom. When this layer of meat is pushed by the push plates 43, the meat above falls off. The pushed meat falls to the top as the push plates 43 rotate, realizing the layered switching of the meat position in the stirring chamber 5, increasing the frequency of exchange between the inner and outer layers of meat in the stirring chamber 5, promoting the uniformity of contact between the meat and the marinade, and reducing marinating dead corners.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the opposite end faces of the two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers 42 are set as parallel inclined planes, and the shape of the two symmetrically arranged stirring rollers matches that of the stirring chamber 5.

[0030] It should be noted that the parallel inclined surfaces of the two stirring rollers rotate, pushing the meat and marinade in the stirring chamber 5 to move left and right. At the same time, the layered rotation and pushing promotes the uniform contact between the meat and the marinade.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple push plates 43 are arranged in a ring with equal spacing around the central axis of the stirring chamber 5, and the push plates 43 are provided with through holes 431.

[0032] It should be noted that the number of push plates 43 should be kept between 2 and 4 to allow the meat to slide off the surface of the push plates 43. If there are too many push plates 43, it will affect the sliding of the meat and may cause the meat to get stuck. If there are too few push plates 43, it will increase the pushing pressure of a single push plate 43, increase the torque, and cause damage to the motor. The through hole 431 is used for the flow of the marinade and to stir the marinade to prevent the marinade from settling.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support component 3 includes two symmetrically arranged upright plates 31 and a base plate 32.

[0034] Two symmetrically arranged upright plates 31 are set on the storage slot 1, and the base plate 32 is set on the two symmetrically arranged upright plates 31.

[0035] It should be noted that the base plate 32 provides stable support for the two symmetrically arranged upright plates 31 through fixing holes, thereby providing stable support for the storage tank 1, the top cover 2, the first drive device 41 and the stirring mechanism 4, and preventing the device from shaking during the rotation and stirring process.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper cover 2 is provided with a lifting handle 21.

[0037] It should be noted that the lifting handle 21 is used to control the opening and closing of the top cover 2, which facilitates the loading and unloading of materials into and out of the storage trough 1.

[0038] In summary, the meat processing and marinating device of this utility model improves the multi-directional movement of meat during marinating, promotes the uniformity of contact between meat and marinating liquid, increases the frequency of exchange between the inner and outer layers of meat in the mixing chamber, reduces marinating dead zones, and improves the marinating effect.
