Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a braising equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Braised and stewed products are rich in nutrients, have unique shapes, and distinctive flavors, making them highly popular. During processing, these products undergo a braising process to allow the ingredients to absorb the flavors and enhance their taste. The traditional braising process involves placing the pre-processed and blanched raw materials into a braising pot, adding prepared braising liquid, and steaming for a period of time. Afterward, the braised meat is removed, cooled, and then further processed.

[0003] Existing braising equipment typically uses a large strainer inside the pot to quickly remove braised meat. The raw meat is placed inside the strainer, and the spice packet is placed inside the pot, separating it from the meat without affecting the flow of the liquid. This method effectively ensures the braising effect and allows for quick removal of the braised product. However, this type of equipment generally uses a vertical, static braising method, which prevents the raw meat from being rolled and kneaded. This hinders the penetration of the braising liquid into the meat, resulting in poor flavor absorption and affecting the quality of the braised meat. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a braising and cooking device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A braising device includes a frame with two sleeves mounted on it. A collar is fixed between the two sleeves, and a pot body is rotatably fitted inside the collar. The pot body is located within the frame. A tilting mechanism is mounted on the frame and connected to one of the sleeves. A fixing frame is mounted on one side of one of the sleeves, and a lifting mechanism is mounted on the fixing frame. A sealing cover is mounted on the lifting mechanism and is sealed to the pot body. A stirring mechanism is mounted on the sealing cover. A power source is mounted on the other sleeve. The mechanism includes a power mechanism with a contact roller that abuts against one side of the pot body. The pot body has a cavity. A PLC control unit is mounted on one side of the frame. A liquid suction pipe runs through the pot body and has a liquid storage mechanism. A connecting frame is sealed at the lower end of the pot body, and a steam heating component is connected to the connecting frame and the cavity. A chiller component is also connected to the connecting frame and the cavity. A vacuuming mechanism is connected to the pot body.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, this application, through the coordinated operation of multiple mechanisms, can achieve both vertical static braising and horizontal rolling braising when braising meat. At the same time, it can tumble and knead the meat during braising, and control the vacuum state inside the pot, achieving alternation between normal pressure and vacuum to promote the penetration of braising liquid. Furthermore, by controlling the internal pressure, it can switch between high pressure, micro-high pressure, and negative pressure for braising, thereby changing the boiling point of the braising liquid and achieving temperature regulation, thus enabling braising at different temperatures as needed.

[0008] Preferably, the flipping mechanism includes a horizontal connecting rod fixed to one side of one of the sleeve components, one end of the horizontal connecting rod is rotatably connected to a pull rod, and the lower end of the pull rod is rotatably connected to a hydraulic cylinder, which is mounted on one side of the frame.

[0009] The above technical solution can quickly adjust the pot's posture to an upright position during the braising process, with the pot opening facing upwards, allowing the material to be braising statically. Alternatively, the pot can be placed horizontally and rotated using a stirring mechanism and a power mechanism to tumble the meat raw materials inside, thus improving preparation efficiency and quality.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a connecting shaft sleeved in a fixed frame, the connecting shaft having a moving groove, a positioning rotating shaft mounted on the fixed frame, one end of the positioning rotating shaft being located in the moving groove, an electric telescopic rod mounted on one side of the fixed frame, the piston rod end of the electric telescopic rod being connected to the lower end of the connecting shaft, an mounting bracket mounted on the upper end of the connecting shaft, and the sealing cover being connected to the mounting bracket.

[0011] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting an electric telescopic rod, the connecting shaft can be raised and lowered, and a moving groove is set on the connecting shaft. Through the cooperation of the moving groove and the positioning rotating shaft, the sealing cover and the pot body can be completely separated and fully connected and sealed. The moving groove consists of a vertical groove and an arc-shaped deflection groove. The included angle between the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped deflection groove is between 90° and 180°.

[0012] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes a second motor component mounted on a sealing cover. The second motor component is connected to a mounting bracket. A vertical shaft is fixed to the end of the output shaft of the second motor component. The vertical shaft is sealed and mounted on the sealing cover. A blade is mounted on the lower end of the vertical shaft. The blade can be either a V-shaped blade or a single-blade blade.

[0013] The above technical solution employs either "V-shaped" or "single-blade" blades to achieve different rotational tumbling intensities, adapting to different products and enabling forced cyclic massage, tumbling, and static resting.

[0014] Preferably, multiple limiting rods are fixed at equal intervals around the upper end of the pot body, and the multiple limiting rods are all installed through the sealing cover.

[0015] The above technical solution can further improve the connection between the pot body and the sealing cover, and at the same time enable the pot body to drive the sealing cover to rotate through the limiting rod.

[0016] Preferably, the power mechanism includes a first motor component installed at one end of another sleeve component, a reducer connected to the output shaft of the first motor component, the reducer connected to the other sleeve component, a timing belt assembly installed on the output shaft of the reducer, a support shaft rotatably sleeved at the top of the sleeve component, the timing belt assembly connected to the support shaft, and the abutment roller fixed at the lower end of the support shaft.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation of the first motor component and the reducer enables the synchronous belt assembly to drive the support shaft to rotate, which allows the meat, braising liquid and spices inside to rotate passively and make full contact. The friction transmission between the roller and the pot body drives the pot body to rotate, resulting in lower operating noise and higher efficiency.

[0018] Preferably, the vacuuming mechanism includes a suction pipe that extends through the upper end of the sealing cover, a water ring vacuum pump is installed at one end of the suction pipe, a high-efficiency condenser is connected to one end of the water ring vacuum pump, a vacuum pipeline filter is connected to the high-efficiency condenser, a shock-resistant vacuum gauge is installed on the sealing cover, and a pressure sensor is installed inside the sealing cover.

[0019] The above technical solution can control the tumbling vacuum degree inside the pot to approximately -0.06 to -0.08 MPa as needed, and can also control the switching between normal pressure and vacuum conditions inside the pot while ensuring the quality of the gas.

[0020] Preferably, the liquid extraction and temporary storage mechanism includes a material diaphragm pump connected to a liquid suction pipe, and a temporary storage tank is connected to one side of the material diaphragm pump.

[0021] The above technical solution can quickly extract the brine from the pot, facilitate the pumping in and out of the brine, and help to quickly remove the braised products.

[0022] Preferably, an ultrasonic generator is installed on the pot body.

[0023] The above technical solution can be adopted: a 6000W-40KH ultrasonic generator can be used, and the ultrasonic power can be adjusted according to different processes during brining and subsequent cleaning.

[0024] Preferably, both the vacuum pumping mechanism and the chiller assembly are equipped with water storage tanks.

[0025] The above technical solution enables rapid water storage, facilitates use, and helps reduce operating costs.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0027] 1. By cooperating with the electric telescopic rod, moving groove, positioning shaft, and mounting bracket, the sealing cover is lifted and rotated, which can effectively change the distance and relative position between the sealing cover and the pot body. At the same time, the limiting rod can ensure the accuracy of the connection and complete the connection fixation, which helps to fully seal the sealing cover and the pot body, and can automatically open and close the cover.

[0028] 2. Through the cooperation of hydraulic cylinder, tie rod, cross link and one of the sleeve parts, the collar can drive the pot body to rotate. When the sealing cover and the pot body are sealed together, it can switch between vertical and horizontal postures. It can switch between static braising and tumbling braising modes. When the sealing cover and the pot body are separated, the braised products in the pot body can be quickly output.

[0029] 3. Through the cooperation of another sleeve, the first motor, the reducer, the synchronous belt assembly and the contact roller, the contact roller can rotate against the side wall of the pot, and the pot can rotate smoothly within the collar. The sealing cover rotates synchronously with the pot through the limit rod, which can realize the rapid switching between three modes: static braising, 360° rotation braising and forced circulation massage and tumbling braising, thus improving the quality of braising.

[0030] 4. The combination of the second motor component, vertical shaft, and paddle blades can drive the raw materials inside to rotate. At the same time, the appropriate shape of the paddle blades can be selected as needed to further enhance the patting and tumbling effect and improve the quality of the braising.

[0031] 5. By combining the vacuum pipe, water ring vacuum pump, and high-efficiency condenser, the environment inside the sealing cover and pot can be quickly evacuated to a vacuum through the sealing cover. The operation of the water ring vacuum pump can be controlled by the PLC control component, which makes it easy to switch the environment inside the pot between vacuum and normal pressure. This accelerates the distribution and absorption of brine, promotes the dissolution and extraction of myofibril protein, improves product quality, and reduces cooking losses.

[0032] 6. The steam heating system enables rapid heating and constant temperature, and facilitates automatic control without overheating or overpressure. The pressure control system allows for quick switching between high-pressure and micro-high-pressure rapid cooking and negative-pressure low-temperature braising. The ultrasonic generator is equipped to adjust the ultrasonic waves according to the process during braising and subsequent cleaning. The addition of a chiller component is used for low-temperature tumbling and rapid reduction of the tank temperature after braising.

[0033] 7. Through the action of the suction pipe, material diaphragm pump and temporary storage tank, the brine can be automatically and quickly extracted after the braising is completed and temporarily stored, which facilitates the quick discharge of the braised products. When braising again, the brine can be quickly put into the pot for easy recycling.

[0034] In summary, this invention enables automated operation and ensures a tight seal between the connections, allowing the pot to switch between vertical and horizontal positions. The paddles facilitate the cyclical massage, beating, and settling of the meat, while simultaneously controlling the meat's operation between vacuum and normal pressure. This helps accelerate the distribution and absorption of the brine. Furthermore, by switching between high-pressure and low-pressure braising, it achieves rapid high-pressure cooking and low-pressure temperature-controlled braising, improving braising efficiency and ensuring meat quality.

[0042] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0043] Reference Figure 1-6 A braising equipment includes a frame 1, on which two sleeve fittings 20 are mounted. The sleeve fittings 20 are rotatably sleeved on the frame 1. The frame 1 can accommodate the corresponding pipelines and other components required for component installation, facilitating the installation of matching components and equipment. A collar fitting 4 is fixed between the two sleeve fittings 20, and the connection is made by welding or other methods to ensure the connection is firm. A pot body 2 is rotatably sleeved inside the collar fitting 4. The pot body 2 can rotate relative to the collar fitting 4, and at the same time, the collar fitting 4 can drive the pot body 2 to flip. The pot body 2 is located inside the frame 1. A flipping mechanism is mounted on the frame 1, and the flipping mechanism is connected to one of the sleeve fittings 20. The flipping mechanism can adjust the position of the collar fitting 4 and the pot body 2, facilitating the switching between a vertical and a horizontal position of the pot body 2.

[0044] Reference Figure 1-3 The flipping mechanism includes a horizontal connecting rod 19 fixed to one side of one of the sleeve components 20. One end of the horizontal connecting rod 19 is rotatably connected to a pull rod 21, and the lower end of the pull rod 21 is rotatably connected to a hydraulic cylinder 22. The hydraulic cylinder 22 is installed on one side of the frame 1. The operator can control the operation of the hydraulic cylinder 22 through the PLC control component 3, which can cause the pull rod 21 to drive the horizontal connecting rod 19 to rotate one of the sleeve components 20. The rotation of the pot body 2 is driven by the collar component 4. When the pot body 2 and the sealing cover 5 are sealed together, it can switch between vertical and horizontal states for easy braising. After braising is completed, the sealing cover 5 rises, and the rotation of the pot body 2 can quickly discharge the braised products in the pot body 2, which is convenient for the preparation of the next batch of braised products.

[0045] Reference Figure 1-4 One of the sleeve fittings 20 is equipped with a fixing frame 15 on one side. The fixing frame 15 is equipped with a lifting mechanism and a sealing cover 5. The sealing cover 5 is sealed to the pot body 2. Multiple limiting rods 7 are fixed at equal intervals around the upper end of the pot body 2. The multiple limiting rods 7 are all installed through the sealing cover 5. When connected, the limiting rods 7 can pass through the periphery of the sealing cover 5. At the same time, in actual preparation, a sealing rubber collar can be added to the lower end of the sealing cover 5 to connect and seal with the pot body 2 to avoid leakage.

[0046] Reference Figure 1-4The lifting mechanism includes a connecting shaft 17 sleeved within a fixed frame 15, with a moving groove 18 on the connecting shaft 17. A positioning rotating shaft 14 is mounted on the fixed frame 15, with one end of the positioning rotating shaft 14 located within the moving groove 18. An electric telescopic rod 16 is mounted on one side of the fixed frame 15, with the piston rod end of the electric telescopic rod 16 connected to the lower end of the connecting shaft 17. A mounting bracket 13 is mounted on the upper end of the connecting shaft 17, and a sealing cover 5 is connected to the mounting bracket 13. A mounting bracket 5 is connected to the piston rod end of the electric telescopic rod 16. The lower end of the connecting shaft 17 is rotatably sleeved on the mounting frame and can rise and fall with the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 16. When the connecting shaft 17 rises and falls, it will cause the moving groove 18 to move. The moving groove 18 consists of a vertical groove in the upper middle section and an arc-shaped groove in the lower section. The angle between the start and end points of the arc-shaped groove at the lower end is between 90 and 180 degrees, which can make the sealing cover 5 and the pot body 2 misaligned for easy use. When the sealing cover 5 rises, it can make the pot body 2 rotate, which makes it easy to pour out the braised products inside.

[0047] Reference Figure 2-3 A stirring mechanism is installed on the sealing cover 5. The stirring mechanism includes a second motor component 12 mounted on the sealing cover 5. The second motor component 12 is connected to the mounting bracket 13. A vertical shaft 25 is fixed to the end of the output shaft of the second motor component 12. The vertical shaft 25 is sealed and mounted on the sealing cover 5. A blade 24 is mounted on the lower end of the vertical shaft 25. The blade 24 can be either a V-shaped blade or a single-blade blade. During production, a mechanical seal component is installed on the vertical shaft 25, which is mounted on the sealing cover 5. This ensures a good seal while allowing the vertical shaft 25 to rotate, preventing leakage when the pot body 2 is horizontally tumbling. At the same time, the second motor component 12 drives the vertical shaft 25 to rotate, which in turn drives the blade 24 to rotate. The blade 24 can be either a V-shaped blade or a single-blade blade. Different rotation and tumbling forces are suitable for different products, effectively improving the tumbling effect. The entire machine is made of high-quality SUS304 stainless steel; the interior of the pot body is finely polished, with no unsanitary corners.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 , 5Another sleeve 20 is equipped with a power mechanism, on which an abutment roller 35 is mounted. The abutment roller 35 abuts against one side of the pot body 2. The power mechanism includes a first motor 6 mounted at one end of the other sleeve 20. A reducer 36 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 6. The reducer 36 is connected to the other sleeve 20. A timing belt assembly 34 is mounted on the output shaft of the reducer 36. A support shaft 33 is rotatably sleeved on the top of the collar 4. The timing belt assembly 34 is connected to the support shaft 33. The abutment roller 35 is fixed. Fixed at the lower end of the support shaft 33, the first motor component 6 can drive the synchronous belt assembly 34 through the reducer 36. The synchronous belt assembly 34 includes two synchronous pulleys and a synchronous belt sleeved on the two pulleys. The synchronous pulleys and the synchronous belt can adopt a toothed structure to improve the transmission effect. At the same time, the two synchronous pulleys are respectively fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the support shaft 33 and the reducer 36, enabling the support shaft 33 to drive the abutment roller 35 to rotate. The use of reducer roller drive results in lower operating noise and higher efficiency. The tumbling stage adopts a horizontal position, which significantly improves the stirring and tumbling effect. In the braising stage, the pot adopts a vertical upright state to simulate the static state of traditional braising pots, and can also be rotated 360° for braising. The variable frequency stepless speed regulation ensures smooth start-up. The operating speed is continuously adjustable within the range of 2-12 r / min; adaptable to various processing techniques.

[0049] Reference Figure 1-3 An ultrasonic generator assembly 9 is installed on the pot body 2. It can be equipped with a 6000W-40KH ultrasonic generator, allowing adjustment of the ultrasonic power during braising and subsequent cleaning processes according to different procedures. A PLC control assembly 3 automatically controls the process according to a pre-set program. The pot body 2 has an internal cavity 23 with an effective internal volume of 50-100L, which can be customized as needed. The outer casing is made of 8cm thick aluminum silicate material, with the surface temperature controlled below 40 degrees Celsius, ensuring good heat insulation. A PLC control assembly 3 is installed on one side of the frame 1. The PLC control assembly 3 uses a built-in automated PLC program control method, which is compatible with the equipment. The system is equipped with internal automated components, enabling control of these components. It allows for the automatic control of braising time, temperature, and pressure according to the established process settings. A color touchscreen is installed on the PLC control unit 3 for easy and quick operation by staff. The touchscreen interface features clearly laid-out buttons for convenient use. It offers automatic temperature, time, and pressure control functions. The electrical box has IP65 protection and is equipped with a leakage current protector to ensure safety. A waterproof and moisture-proof structure further protects internal components and enhances the product's applicability.

[0050] Reference Figure 1-4A liquid suction pipe 37 is installed through the inside of the pot body 2. The liquid suction pipe 37 is equipped with a liquid storage mechanism. A connecting frame 8 is sealed at the lower end of the pot body 2. A steam heating component 27 is connected to the connecting frame 8. The steam heating component 27 adopts an existing steam heating system. Its working temperature is between 80-120℃ and the working pressure is between -0.08-0.3Mpa under the control of the operator. It can achieve rapid heating and ensure the stability of the temperature after heating. It can also automatically control the temperature, pressure and vacuum status according to the preset program to ensure that there is no overheating or overpressure. By controlling the temperature change, it can achieve both low-temperature and high-temperature braising methods to ensure product quality. At the same time, it can switch between high-pressure and low-pressure braising during the braising process to achieve high-pressure rapid cooking and low-pressure temperature-controlled braising, avoiding the disadvantages of muscle fiber breakage and dry meat due to excessive temperature.

[0051] Reference Figure 1-4 The steam heating component 27 is connected to the cavity 23. The chiller component 26 is connected to the connecting frame 8. Both the vacuum mechanism and the chiller component 26 are equipped with water storage tanks. The chiller component 26 is connected to the cavity 23 and is equipped with a 5P chiller for low-temperature tumbling and cooling of the pot body 2 after braising. Because the chiller works intermittently, its energy consumption is very low. The chiller can make the equipment reach 5-8℃ during the tumbling stage, which can fully meet the current market requirements for low-temperature tumbling. In actual production, either a liquid nitrogen spray cooling circulation system or a cold water cooling circulation system can be selected as needed. After the meat is taken out of the pot, the pot body 2 can be cooled down quickly. At the same time, the temperature of the pot body 2 can be reduced during the tumbling process of the meat to achieve low-temperature tumbling.

[0052] Reference Figure 1-4 The pot body 2 is connected to a vacuum mechanism, which includes an air extraction pipe 10 that runs through the upper end of the sealing cover 5. One end of the air extraction pipe 10 is equipped with a water ring vacuum pump 28, and one end of the water ring vacuum pump 28 is connected to a high-efficiency condenser 29. A vacuum pipeline filter 30 is connected to the high-efficiency condenser 29, which can automatically evacuate the pot body 2 into a vacuum state as needed.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 The sealing cover 5 is equipped with a shock-resistant vacuum gauge 11, and the sealing cover 5 is equipped with a pressure sensor 38, which displays the vacuum degree and positive pressure in the pot in real time. It has a continuous pressure control function and can select different tumbling modes for tumbling. The tumbling vacuum degree during operation is about -0.06 to -0.08 MPa.

[0054] Reference Figure 6The testing machine and its supporting equipment are connected during the production process. The testing machine can be effectively connected to the steam generator, vacuum unit, and chiller unit through corresponding pipeline connections, and is also connected to the corresponding nitrogen pipeline. Electrically controlled valves are installed on the pipelines, and the appropriate electrically controlled valves are selected according to the material being transported to control whether the material is being transported. The operation of the electrically controlled valves can effectively control whether the pipeline is open or closed. The steam pipeline can effectively heat the braising material in the testing machine, and the vacuum pipeline can quickly perform suction operations. The chilled water pipeline and nitrogen pipeline can be selected according to the actual situation to facilitate rapid cooling of the material, so as to braising the material in the testing machine.

[0055] In this invention, the machine is operated with one button: feeding, vacuuming, tumbling, low-temperature tumbling, automatic temperature and pressure control, and braising. During the braising process, the equipment is adjusted to an upright position with the pot opening facing upwards. The material can be braising statically or rotated 360° for more uniform braising. Vacuum cooking can be used to improve production efficiency. It is equipped with ultrasonic waves, a braising liquid recovery system, a temporary storage tank, and a turning pot for material discharge. After one braising process, cold water cooling is used to facilitate the next cycle.

[0056] In this invention, when the corresponding materials are added into the pot body 2, the electric telescopic rod 16 can push the connecting shaft 17 and the moving groove 18 on it to descend. The positioning rotating shaft 14 moves in the arc-shaped section at the lower end of the moving groove 18, causing the mounting bracket 13 to drive the sealing cover 5 to rotate, so that the sealing cover 5 corresponds to the lower end of the pot body 2. At the same time, when the positioning rotating shaft 14 enters the vertical section at the upper end of the moving groove 18, the sealing cover 5 descends vertically relative to the pot body 2, so that the limiting rod 7 on the pot body 2 is inserted and penetrates the sealing cover 5. After the sealing cover 5 and the pot body 2 are sealed and connected, the steam heating component 27 can quickly allow steam to enter the cavity 23 to heat the materials in the pot body 2. At the same time, during the braising process, the cooperation of the suction pipe 10, the water ring vacuum pump 28, the high-efficiency condenser 29, and the vacuum pipeline filter 30 can create both normal pressure and vacuum conditions in the pot body 2, and can continuously switch between normal pressure and vacuum conditions, thus promoting the preparation efficiency of the braised products.

[0057] Furthermore, as needed, the hydraulic cylinder 22 can drive the tie rod 21 to pull the horizontal connecting rod 19, causing one of the sleeve parts 20 to rotate. This allows the collar part 4 to drive the pot body 2 to rotate, facilitating the synchronous rotation of the sealing cover 5 and the pot body 2, enabling it to reach a horizontal position. Through the cooperation of the first motor part 6, the reducer 36, and the synchronous belt assembly 34, the contact roller 35 can be made to abut against the pot body 2, causing the pot body 2 to drive the sealing cover 5 to rotate, thus achieving the tumbling and kneading of the braised products inside the pot body 2. The operator can use the second motor 12 to drive the vertical shaft 25 to rotate the paddle 24, which facilitates the beating of the braised products, improving the production effect and quality of the braised products. After the braising is completed, the braising liquid in the pot 2 can be quickly extracted through the suction pipe 37 and the material diaphragm pump 31 and transported into the temporary storage tank 32 for storage. When the next braising is carried out, the braising liquid stored in the temporary storage tank 32 can be transported into the pot 2 for use, and the pot 2 can be quickly cooled through the high-efficiency condenser 29.
