Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of food braising equipment, and particularly relates to a swing-type braising pot. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of braised products, high-temperature braising is usually employed. For example, in the egg processing industry, when producing braised eggs, poultry eggs are first placed in a braising tank containing braising liquid. The braising tank is typically equipped with heating coils or other heating devices to heat the braising liquid to a certain temperature. After a certain period of time, the poultry eggs and other braised products are ready. Currently, poultry egg braising usually requires manual addition of eggs to the braising tank. After braising, the machine must be stopped and the eggs removed manually. This results in low automation, high labor intensity for workers, and this open-type braising can only be carried out under normal pressure, making it impossible to achieve pressurized and efficient braising, leading to low production efficiency and failing to meet the needs of automated mass production.

[0003] Therefore, in the field of food braising equipment technology, there is still a need for research and improvement of swing-type braising pots. This is a research hotspot and focus in the current field of food braising equipment technology, and it is also the starting point for the completion of this invention. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a swing-type braising pot to solve the technical problems of high labor intensity and low production efficiency during the braising process.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is: a swing-type braising pot, comprising a pot body with a horizontally arranged axis, one end of the pot body being sealed and the other end being open, a pot door being installed at the open end of the pot body, a feed inlet being provided at the top of the pot body, a discharge outlet being provided at the bottom of the pot body, a central shaft being rotatably installed inside the pot body, one end of the central shaft passing through the sealed end of the pot body and being connected to a power device for driving, a shelf being fixedly installed on the central shaft, the shelf having several layers of parallel braising chambers, the braising chambers being parallel to the axis of the central shaft, each braising chamber having a material inlet and outlet, the material inlet and outlet corresponding to the feed inlet and discharge outlet.

[0006] As an improvement, the shelf includes several parallel support plates spaced apart, with the braising chamber formed between two adjacent support plates. The material inlet and outlet are located at one end of the braising chamber, and the remaining periphery of the braising chamber is provided with sealing plates. Both the sealing plates and the support plates are provided with through holes.

[0007] As a further improvement, a protruding baffle is provided at the material inlet and outlet position of the support plate below, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the material inlet and outlet is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the brining chamber.

[0008] As a further improvement, several vertical supports are provided between two adjacent support plates, and the vertical supports are located on the side of the material inlet and outlet near the pot door.

[0009] As a further improvement, a lateral support is provided on the lower surface of the support plate below, one end of which is fixed to the vertical support, and the other end is fixed to the sealing plate opposite to the vertical support.

[0010] As a further improvement, the sealing plate located on the side of the material inlet / outlet near the pot door can be detachably installed between two adjacent support plates.

[0011] As a further improvement, the feed inlet includes a main discharge port and branch discharge ports located on both sides of the main discharge port. Each branch discharge port is provided with a guide plate, the upper end of which is close to the main discharge port and the lower end of which is far away from the main discharge port.

[0012] As a further improvement, a first spray pipe is provided at the open end of the pot body. The first spray pipe extends into the pot body radially. The first spray pipe is provided with a plurality of first nozzles arranged in a row, and the first nozzles face the end face of the shelf.

[0013] As a further improvement, the pot body is provided with a second spray pipe parallel to the central axis. The central axis has a central hole that extends out of the pot body. The second spray pipe is fixed to the central axis and communicates with the central hole through a connecting pipe. The second spray pipe is provided with a plurality of second nozzles arranged in a row, and the second nozzles face the inner wall of the pot body.

[0014] As a further improvement, the pot body is provided with a scraper extending along the axial direction of the pot body, the scraper is fixedly connected to the central shaft, and the edge of the scraper is close to the inner wall of the pot body.

[0015] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] (1) The swing-type braising pot provided by the present invention reduces manual operation, has a high degree of automation, greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers, and has a closed braising space, which can realize high temperature and high pressure braising. The material is in a swinging state during the braising process, which overcomes the disadvantage of poor braising effect of the squeezed part caused by static braising, and improves the braising efficiency and braising effect of food. In addition, the shelf is set with multiple braising chambers, which can increase the output by 1.5 times with the same pot volume compared with similar braising equipment.

[0017] (2) Due to the setting of the braising part, the braising part can effectively block the braising product during the braising process of the product swinging back and forth in the braising chamber, thus preventing the product from falling out of the braising chamber and colliding with the inner wall of the pot.

[0018] (3) Due to the setting of horizontal and vertical supports, the horizontal and vertical supports form a frame structure, which greatly improves the strength and stability. This allows the horizontal supports to provide effective support for the support plate, effectively increasing the rigidity and strength of the support plate, improving the load-bearing capacity of the support plate, increasing the amount of material to be braised, and thus improving the braising efficiency.

[0019] (4) Since the feed inlet includes the main feed inlet and the secondary feed inlets located on both sides of the main feed inlet, the guide plate will disperse the material during feeding. Some of the material enters the braising chamber through the main feed inlet, while some of the material enters the braising chamber through the secondary feed inlets, thus avoiding local accumulation and damage of the material.

[0020] (5) Because of the installation of the first spray pipe and the second spray pipe, it is convenient to rinse and clean the braising chamber and the inner wall of the pot, avoiding the contamination of the braised products by impurities generated during long-term use, thereby improving the braising quality of the food.

[0032] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] The terms used in this specification, such as "front," "back," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," and "middle," are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, shall also be considered within the scope of the invention.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, this invention provides a swing-type braising pot, comprising a pot body 1 with its axis horizontally arranged, i.e., a traditional horizontal placement. One end of the pot body 1 is sealed, and the other end is open. A pot door 2 is installed at the open end of the pot body 1. The pot door 2 is typically hinged to the pot body 1, and a locking element is provided between the pot body 1 and the pot body 1. The pot body 1 and the pot door 2 are manufactured according to pressure vessel standards. A feed inlet 4 is provided at the top of the pot body 1 to allow the braising ingredients to enter the pot body 1, and a discharge outlet 5 is provided at the bottom of the pot body 1 to allow the braising products to be discharged after braising. Both the feed inlet 4 and the discharge outlet 5 are equipped with gates to facilitate the closure of the feed inlet 4 and the discharge outlet 5, thereby ensuring the pressure and temperature inside the pot body 1. A central shaft 3 is rotatably mounted inside the pot body 1. One end of the central shaft 3 passes through the sealed end of the pot body 1 and is connected to a power unit for drive. A support 11 is installed inside the pot body 1, and a bearing seat 12 is mounted on the support 11. One end of the central shaft 3 is rotatably mounted on the sealed end of the pot body 1 via a bearing, and the other end is mounted on the bearing seat 12, forming a support beam structure, which improves the load-bearing capacity of the central shaft 3. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, a shelf 20 is fixedly installed on the central shaft 3. The shelf 20 has several parallel braising chambers 15 arranged on it. Each braising chamber 15 is parallel to the axis of the central shaft 3. Each braising chamber 15 has a material inlet / outlet 8, which corresponds to the feed inlet 4 and the discharge outlet 5. For ease of use, all material inlets / outlets 8 are located on the same side to facilitate layer-by-layer feeding or discharging. This structure allows for closed braising of the product within the pot body 1, enabling both atmospheric and pressurized braising. This ensures uniform heating and pressure distribution of the braised product, improving both the quality and efficiency of the braising process.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the shelf 20 includes several parallel support plates 7 spaced apart. A braising chamber 15 is formed between two adjacent support plates 7. The material inlet and outlet 8 is located at one end of the braising chamber 15. The remaining periphery of the braising chamber 15 is provided with sealing plates 13. The support plates 7 can be detachably connected to the sealing plates 13 by welding or fasteners. Both the sealing plates 13 and the support plates 7 are provided with through holes 14 to facilitate the rapid entry of braising liquid into the braising chamber 15, ensuring that the braised products are fully braised in the braising chamber 15.

[0036] like Figure 5As shown, a protruding baffle 16 is provided at the material inlet / outlet 8 of the lower support plate 7. The cross-sectional area of ​​the material inlet / outlet 8 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the braising chamber 15. During the braising process, when the braised products swing back and forth in the braising chamber 15, the baffle 16 can effectively block the braised products, preventing them from falling out of the braising chamber 15 and colliding with the inner wall of the pot body 1. The baffle 16 can be made by welding rods to the support plate 7 at the edge of the braising chamber 15, or the support plate 7 can be easily bent to form a baffle structure. Those skilled in the art can implement it as needed, and it will not be described in detail here.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, several vertical supports 17 are provided between two adjacent support plates 7. The vertical supports 17 are located on the side of the material inlet / outlet 8 near the pot door 2. A horizontal support 18 is provided on the lower surface of the lower support plate 7. The braised products are placed on the upper surface of the support plate 7 in the braising chamber 15. The horizontal support 18 does not obstruct the braised products and effectively increases the rigidity and strength of the support plate 7, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the support plate 7. One end of the horizontal support 18 is fixed to the vertical support 17, and the other end is fixed to the sealing plate 13 opposite to the vertical support 17. The horizontal support 18 and the vertical support 17 form a frame structure, which greatly improves the strength and stability, allowing the horizontal support 18 to further provide effective support for the support plate 7. The sealing plate 13 located on the side of the material inlet / outlet 8 near the pot door 2 can be detachably installed between two adjacent support plates 7. When it is necessary to clean the braising chamber 15, the sealing plates 13 on both sides of the material inlet / outlet 8 can be removed to facilitate cleaning of the braising chamber 15. In addition, a groove 21 adapted to the vertical support 17 is provided on the sealing plate 13 near the pot door 2. After the sealing plate 13 is installed, the inner wall of the braising chamber 15 is smooth, and the braised products will not get stuck during the back-and-forth shaking and braising process in the braising chamber 15, thus ensuring the braising quality of the braised products.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, the feed inlet 4 includes a main feed inlet 401 and branch feed inlets 402 located on both sides of the main feed inlet 401. Each branch feed inlet 402 is equipped with a guide plate 19. The upper end of the guide plate 19 is close to the main feed inlet 401, and the lower end of the guide plate 19 is far away from the main feed inlet 401. Since the material inlet and outlet 8 is a strip structure with a certain length, in order to avoid the braised products falling into the braising chamber 15 and being locally concentrated, resulting in compression damage, the guide plate 19 will disperse the material during feeding. Some of the material enters the braising chamber 15 through the main feed inlet 401, while some of the material enters the braising chamber 15 through the branch feed inlets 402, thus avoiding local accumulation and damage of the material.

[0039] like Figure 8As shown, a first spray pipe 6 is provided at the open end of the pot body 1. The first spray pipe 6 extends radially into the pot body 1. The first spray pipe 6 is provided with several first nozzles arranged in a row. The first nozzles face the end face of the shelf 20 to rinse and clean the braising chamber 15. One end of the first spray pipe 6 extending out of the pot body 1 is connected to high-pressure water. During cleaning, the sealing plate 13 on the side of the material inlet / outlet 8 near the pot door 2 can be opened to facilitate rinsing the braising chamber 15 and improve cleaning efficiency.

[0040] The pot body 1 is provided with a second spray pipe 9 parallel to the central axis 3. The central axis 3 has a central hole that extends out of the pot body 1. The second spray pipe 9 is fixed to the central axis 3 and connected to the central hole through a connecting pipe. The second spray pipe 9 is provided with several second nozzles arranged in a row. The second nozzles face the inner wall of the pot body 1. The end of the central axis 3 located on the outside of the pot body 1 is connected to a water pipe through a rotary joint to ensure that high-pressure rinsing liquid still enters the central hole during the rotation of the central axis 3, and then is sprayed onto the inner wall of the pot body 1 through the second nozzles to rinse the inner wall of the pot body 1.

[0041] The pot body 1 is provided with a scraper 10 extending along the axial direction of the pot body 1. The scraper 10 is fixedly connected to the central shaft 3. Of course, depending on the installation requirements, the scraper 10 can be fixed on the second spray pipe 9 or on the shelf 20. Those skilled in the art can install and implement it as needed, which will not be described in detail here. The edge of the scraper 10 is close to the inner wall of the pot body 1. The scraper 10 can scrape off the relatively firm impurities attached to the inner wall of the pot body 1, further improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect.

[0042] When using, first close the pot door 2, seal the outlet 5, open the inlet 4, and pour in the brine. Figure 2 As shown, the central shaft 3 rotates, driving the shelf 20 to rotate, so that one of the material inlet / outlet 8 is aligned with the feed inlet 4. The material enters the braising chamber 15 through the feed inlet 4. After a certain quantity is loaded, the central shaft 3 rotates at an angle, so that the material inlet / outlet 8 of the next braising chamber 15 is aligned with the feed inlet 4, and the material continues to be loaded. This process is repeated until the material is fully loaded. After loading is complete, the feed inlet 4 is sealed, and the central shaft 3 is rotated so that the braising chamber 15 is in a horizontal position. The pot body 1 can be heated and pressurized. After the braising conditions are met, the central shaft 3 swings back and forth within a certain angle range, shaking the material in the braising chamber 15. The material swings back and forth in the braising chamber 15, ensuring that the material is fully braising. After braising is complete, the braising liquid is discharged. Here, the braising liquid is usually injected and discharged using a circulation pipe. The circulation of the braising liquid can also be ensured during the braising process, which will not be elaborated here. The discharge port 5 is opened, as shown. Figure 3As shown, the central shaft 3 drives the shelf 20 to rotate, so that one of the material inlet / outlet 8 is aligned with the outlet 5, and the braised material in the braising chamber 15 is discharged. The shelf 20 continues to rotate, so that the material inlet / outlet 8 of the next braising chamber 15 is aligned with the outlet 5, and so on, the braised material is discharged in sequence.

[0043] This invention enables automatic feeding, braising, discharging, and cleaning, reducing manual operation and achieving a high degree of automation. It significantly reduces the labor intensity of workers and features a closed braising space, enabling high-temperature and high-pressure braising. The materials are in a swaying state during the braising process, overcoming the shortcomings of poor braising effect in the squeezed parts caused by static braising. This improves the braising efficiency and effect of food, and is particularly suitable for braising egg products and meat products.

[0044] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
