[0002] Ham is a delicacy made by curing or smoking the legs of animals. Cured ham needs to be salted to prevent it from rotting, and in the traditional curing process, a high salt concentration needs to be retained in the ham to prevent it from rotting, so it is not healthy to eat.

[0003] In order to maintain a healthy diet, it is necessary to make low-salt ham. One way is to complete the pickling process of ham in a vacuum, which can reduce the salt content of ham by at least one-third. The vacuum pickling of ham is generally carried out in a vacuum pickling machine. For example, the patent with the authorization announcement number CN209152264U and the patent name of a new pickling machine provides a ham pickling device. When the device is used, the ham raw material and the pickling material are placed into the inside of the drum and then the ham raw material and the pickling material are mixed by rotating the drum to achieve pickling. However, the device cannot change the inclination angle of the drum, and lacks a special functional design for cleaning the inside of the drum, which makes it inconvenient to clean and maintain the inside of the drum. Therefore, it takes a more cumbersome operation to clean the inside of the drum after pickling. If the cleaning is incomplete, the inside of the drum may be contaminated, which may cause the subsequent ham to be contaminated and rot, posing a food safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, we need a low-salt ham pickling device and a method of using the same to solve the problem that the existing ham pickling equipment is difficult to clean and prone to contamination, which can effectively improve food safety. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose and technical solution of the present invention clearly and completely described, and the advantages more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments, and are only used to explain the embodiments of the present invention, and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a low-salt ham pickling device, including a tank body 1, a rotating support seat 18, a docking device 5 and a controller 30. The tank body 1 is composed of a front shell 101 and a rear shell 102 assembled in a detachable manner, and the interiors of the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 together form a pickling chamber 16 for pickling ham raw materials. A feed port 31 for feeding the ham raw materials is provided at the front end of the front shell 101, and a sealing plate 15 for sealing the feed port 31 is clamped and installed on the front shell 101. The tank body 1 is rotatably installed on the top of the rotating support seat 18 and rotates along its own central axis, and the rotating support seat 18 is arranged on the base 24 in the form of an adjustable inclination angle. The front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 can be connected by bolts or snap fastening, and corresponding rubber pads can be installed on the joint surfaces of the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 for sealing. The feed port 31 can be used for feeding ham raw materials and pickling materials, and can also be used to discharge materials and wastewater in the pickling chamber 16. The joint between the sealing plate 15 and the feed port 31 can be auxiliary sealed by a rubber pad. Since the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 can be disassembled, the ham raw materials and pickling materials can be fed after the joint of the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 is disassembled, and the materials and wastewater in the pickling chamber 16 can also be discharged after the joint of the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 is disassembled. After the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 are disassembled, It is convenient for the operator to directly clean the inside of the pickling chamber 16. The tank body 1 is installed on the rotating support seat 18 in a rotating form, and it is also convenient to drive the materials in the pickling chamber 16 to mix with each other by rotating the tank body 1, so that the pickling material can be more quickly and evenly attached to the surface of the ham raw material, making the pickling process faster and more stable. In addition, since the rotating support seat 18 and the base 24 can also rotate, the tank body 1 can tilt forward and backward, so that the materials at different positions before and after the pickling chamber 16 can also be quickly mixed, thereby improving the pickling efficiency. The rotation speed of the tank body 1 and the pickling time of the ham raw material in the pickling chamber 16 need to be changed according to different pickling requirements. Generally speaking, the rotation speed of the tank body 1 will not be less than five revolutions per minute, and the pickling time will not be less than fifteen minutes.

[0021] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The docking device 5 includes a connecting ring 502 fixedly installed with the rear shell body 102 by bolts, and a fixed disk 501 is installed in the middle of the connecting ring 502 and is rotatably sealed with the connecting ring 502. The rotating support seat 18 is fixedly connected to the fixed disk 501 by a fixing frame 33, and a rotary spray head 11 and an air suction device 4 are fixedly installed on the fixed disk 501. The rotary spray head 11 is connected to the liquid supply pump 25 and is used to flush the pickling chamber 16, and the air suction device 4 is connected to the vacuum pump 26 and is used to vacuum the pickling chamber 16. The controller 30 is electrically connected to the liquid supply pump 25 and the vacuum pump 26 respectively. After the pickling material and the ham raw material are put into the pickling chamber 16, the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 are fixed together, and the sealing plate 15 is used to properly seal the feed port 31. Then, the vacuum pump 26 and the suction device 4 can be used to evacuate the inside of the pickling chamber 16. When the pickling process is completed, the pickled product is taken out of the pickling chamber 16 through the feed port 31, or the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 are disassembled to take the pickled product out of the pickling chamber 16, and then the liquid supply pump 25 can be used to provide cleaning liquid, and the cleaning liquid can be sprayed into the pickling chamber 16 through the rotary spray head 11 for cleaning. Since the connecting ring 502 is fixedly mounted on the rear shell body 102, and the fixed disk 501 is rotationally sealed with the connecting ring 502, and the fixed disk 501 is also fixed to the rotating support seat 18 through the fixing frame 33, when the tank body 1 rotates, the fixed disk 501 will not rotate, and the gas will not be able to pass through the rotating sealing area between the fixed disk 501 and the connecting ring 502. In this way, while maintaining the vacuum state inside the pickling chamber 16, it is ensured that the suction device 4 and the rotary spray head 11 located on the fixed disk 501 will not rotate with the tank body 1.

[0022] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8A liquid supply device 6 for adjusting the working position of the rotary spray head 11 is fixedly installed on the fixed disk 501, and the liquid supply device 6 includes a sealed shell 603 sealed and fixed on the fixed disk 501, and a liquid supply conduit 601 inserted into the sealed shell 603 is slidably installed on the fixed disk 501, the front end of the liquid supply conduit 601 is fixedly installed with the rotary spray head 11, and the rear end of the liquid supply conduit 601 is fixedly installed with a moving seat 604, a screw motor 602 is fixedly installed on the sealed shell 603, and the output end of the screw motor 602 drives the moving seat 604 to slide back and forth along the inside of the sealed shell 603 through the screw, the rear end of the liquid supply conduit 601 is connected to the outlet end of the liquid supply pump 25 through a connecting hose 605, and the connecting hose 605 and the sealed shell 603 are sealed, and the screw motor 602 is electrically connected to the controller 30. The sealed shell 603 is sealed and fixed to the fixed disk 501, which can effectively maintain the vacuum environment in the pickling chamber 16. The spinner head 11 can be moved along the front-to-back direction in the pickling chamber 16 by driving the screw motor 602. The spinner head 11 can use the cleaning liquid provided by the liquid supply pump 25 to spray high-pressure water flow onto the inner wall of the pickling chamber 16 to achieve cleaning. A connecting hose 605 of sufficient length is reserved in the sealed shell 603 to avoid affecting the front-to-back movement of the spinner head 11 due to insufficient length of the connecting hose 605.

[0023] See also Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9The air suction device 4 includes a fixed tube 408 fixedly mounted on the fixed plate 501, and an air guide channel 409 is arranged in the fixed tube 408, the air guide channel 409 is connected with the input end of the vacuum pump 26, and an air inlet 401 for connecting the air guide channel 409 and the pickling chamber 16 is arranged at the end of the fixed tube 408, a sliding seat 404 is slidably installed in the air guide channel 409, and a guide column 405 for guiding the direction of the sliding rod of the sliding seat 404 is arranged in the air guide channel 409, and an air guide groove 403 is provided at the edge of the sliding seat 404 to facilitate the air flow to pass through the sliding seat 404, and the sliding seat 404 is provided with a guide column 405 for guiding the direction of the sliding rod of the sliding seat 404. A closing column 402 for closing the air inlet 401 by plugging is fixedly installed at the front end of the moving seat 404, and the rear end of the sliding seat 404 is connected to the fixed tube 408 through a second return spring 406, and a limit switch 407 for detecting the position of the sliding seat 404 is arranged in the fixed tube 408, and a push rod 13 for pushing the closing column 402 to move is fixedly installed on the liquid supply conduit 601, and a closing sleeve 12 is fixed at the end of the push rod 13 for being sleeved on the end of the fixed tube 408 to prevent solids and liquids from entering the air inlet 401, and the limit switch 407 is electrically connected to the controller 30. The suction device 4 is used to facilitate the vacuum machine 26 to extract the gas in the pickling chamber 16. When the ham raw material and the pickling material are correctly sealed in the pickling chamber 16, the liquid supply conduit 601 will move backward, so that the push rod 13 presses the closing column 402. When the rear end of the closing column 402 contacts the travel switch 407, the travel switch 407 detects the in-position signal and then controls the screw motor 602 to stop rotating through the controller 30, so that the liquid supply conduit 601 stops moving. At this time, the gas The liquid can enter the air inlet 401 from the pickling chamber 16, then pass through the air guide groove 403 to enter the air guide channel 409, and then be extracted by the vacuum pump 26. At this time, a small gap will be left between the sealing sleeve 12 sleeved on the outside of the fixed tube 408 and the fixed tube 408 to facilitate the passage of gas. However, the sealing sleeve 12 itself can be used to prevent the liquid and solid in the pickling chamber 16 from directly splashing into the air inlet 401 and blocking the air inlet 401 during the rotation of the tank body 1. When the vacuum pumping operation is no longer needed, the liquid supply conduit 601 moves forward to make the push rod 13 withdraw from the air inlet 401. At this time, the sliding seat 404 will slide along the guide column 405 to the end of the fixed tube 408 under the push of the second return spring 406, so that the air inlet 401 is sealed by the sealing column 402, so that the gas, liquid and solid in the pickling chamber 16 can be effectively prevented from entering the air inlet 401 and blocking the air inlet 401.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 6A second carrier frame 23 rotatably mounted with the rear shell 102 is fixedly mounted on the rotating support seat 18, and a position adjusting push rod 20 is fixedly mounted on the rotating support seat 18, and an output end of the position adjusting push rod 20 drives a first carrier frame 19 rotatably mounted with the front shell 101, and a rotating motor 21 for driving the tank body 1 to rotate is provided on both the first carrier frame 19 and the second carrier frame 23, and a driving wheel 22 is driven at the output end of the rotating motor 21, and a gear ring 14 meshingly connected with the driving wheel 22 at a corresponding position is fixedly mounted on both the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102, and the rotating motor 21 and the position adjusting push rod 20 are both electrically connected to the controller 30. Since the front housing 101 is rotatably mounted on the first carrier 19, and the rear housing 102 is rotatably mounted on the second carrier 23, when the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102 are separated, the front housing 101 can be pushed to a position away from the rear housing 102 by the position adjustment push rod 20, so that the operator can operate the interior of the pickling chamber 16 from the middle position of the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102, such as inspecting, repairing, cleaning, loading and discharging materials in the pickling chamber 16. After the front housing 101 is pushed to contact the rear housing 102 again by the position adjustment push rod 20, the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102 can be fixed together by bolts or the like. Subsequently, under the drive of the rotating motor 21, the driving wheel 22 can be used to drive the tank body 1 to rotate. During the rotation of the tank body 1, the materials in the pickling chamber 16 will be mixed with each other, thereby achieving pickling.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4A rotating shaft 7 is fixedly mounted on the rotating support seat 18, and a worm gear 17 is coaxially fixedly mounted on the end of the rotating shaft 7. A support frame 29 is fixedly mounted on the base 24, and the top of the support frame 29 is rotatably mounted with the rotating shaft 7 through a bearing. An adjusting motor 8 for driving the rotating support seat 18 to rotate is fixedly mounted on the support frame 29, and the output end of the adjusting motor 8 drives a worm 9 meshingly connected with the worm gear 17. An angle adjusting push rod 28 for driving the rotating support seat 18 to rotate is arranged between the rotating support seat 18 and the base 24, and the upper and lower ends of the angle adjusting push rod 28 are respectively hingedly mounted with the rotating support seat 18 and the base 24, and the adjusting motor 8 and the angle adjusting push rod 28 are both electrically connected to the controller 30. By adjusting the drive of the motor 8, the worm 9 can be used to drive the worm wheel 17 to rotate, so that the rotating support seat 18 can rotate on the support frame 29. At the same time, the worm wheel 17 and the worm 9 can also form a worm gear structure to prevent the spontaneous rotation of the rotating shaft 7. The angle adjustment push rod 28 can support the rotating support seat 18 from the end of the rotating support seat 18, and adjust the rotation angle of the rotating support seat 18 together with the adjustment motor 8, so as to achieve stable support. The following functions can be achieved by adjusting the rotation angle of the rotating support seat 18: First, when the pickling chamber 16 needs to be inspected, the operator can more easily access the position that needs to be inspected by changing the inclination angle of the tank body 1; second, when it is necessary to feed materials into the pickling chamber 16, the rear shell 102 can be adjusted to a position facing the ground, so that the materials are conveniently sent to the pickling chamber 16 located on one side of the rear shell 102; third, when it is necessary to discharge materials, the front shell 101 can be adjusted to a direction facing the ground, so that the material can be discharged through the feed port 31. If the feed port 31 is not used for discharge, the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 can be adjusted alternately to a position facing the ground, so that the materials are discharged from the gap opened by the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102. This method can also be used to discharge waste liquid during cleaning; fourth, when it is necessary to perform pickling operations, the tank body 1 can be periodically tilted forward and backward while the tank body 1 is rotating, so that the materials at different positions in the pickling chamber 16 can be mixed more quickly.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 3 The vacuum pump 26 and the controller 30 are both fixedly mounted on the base 24, and a material injection pipe 32 for supplying pickling material into the pickling chamber 16 is fixedly mounted on the fixed plate 501, a material supply pump 27 electrically connected to the controller 30 is fixedly mounted on the base 24, and an output end of the material supply pump 27 is connected to an input end of the material injection pipe 32 through a material delivery hose, and the pickling material can also be directly supplied to the pickling chamber 16 through the material injection pipe 32 as needed.

[0027] The low-salt ham pickling device provided in the present embodiment can pickle ham through the pickling chamber 16, and improve the pickling efficiency by rotating and tilting the tank body 1 during the pickling process. After the pickling is completed, it can also be cleaned with the help of the rotary spray head 11. At the same time, the detachable design of the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 can also facilitate manual cleaning of the pickling chamber 16, thereby effectively avoiding contamination caused by inadequate cleaning, solving the problem that the existing ham pickling equipment is difficult to clean and prone to contamination, and can effectively improve food safety.

[0028] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Fig.10 On the basis of the first embodiment, the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 are fixedly installed by a fixing device 3, and at least two fixing devices 3 are installed on the front shell 101 in a circular array, the fixing device 3 includes a connecting seat 303 fixedly installed with the front shell 101 by bolts, and a rotating arm 304 is rotatably installed on the connecting seat 303, and a limiting handle 301 for inserting into the connecting seat 303 to limit the position of the rotating arm 304 is slidably installed on the rotating arm 304, and a first return spring 302 for preventing the limiting handle 301 from falling off the rotating arm 304 is arranged between the limiting handle 301 and the rotating arm 304, a clamping plate 305 for pressing on the rear shell 102 to clamp and fix the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 is fixedly installed on the rotating arm 304, and a guiding inclined surface 306 for conveniently guiding the clamping plate 305 to rotate to the rear shell 102 is arranged at the edge of the clamping plate 305. The fixing device 3 is used to quickly fix the front shell body 101 and the rear shell body 102. When in use, the limiting handle 301 is first pulled outward to disengage it from the state of being inserted into the connecting seat 303, and then the rotating arm 304 is rotated so that the rotating arm 304 can drive the clamping plate 305 to be clamped into the rear shell body 102 under the state of guiding the inclined surface 306, and then the limiting handle 301 is inserted into the connecting seat 303, so that the front shell body 101 and the rear shell body 102 can be quickly clamped and fixed together, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the pickling chamber 16, further solving the problem that the existing ham pickling equipment is difficult to clean and easy to be contaminated, and can effectively improve food safety.

[0029] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig.11 and Fig.12On the basis of the second embodiment, mounting plates 10 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 by bolts, and at least two rows of partitioning devices 2 for separating ham raw materials are staggeredly installed on each mounting plate 10, and the partitioning device 2 includes a connecting cylinder 203 fixedly installed on the mounting plate 10, and a prism 201 is rotatably installed on the top of the connecting cylinder 203, and a torsion spring 202 for resetting the rotation angle of the prism 201 is installed between the prism 201 and the connecting cylinder 203. The mounting plate 10 can be removed and replaced as a whole, and the separating device 2 is mainly used to separate and break up the ham raw materials in the pickling chamber 16. Specifically, the ham raw materials fed into the pickling chamber 16 are generally not cut into very fine pieces, but are put into the pickling chamber 16 in the form of blocks. This requires the pickling material to be coated on the surface of the ham raw materials as much as possible to increase the speed of the pickling material penetrating into the interior of the ham raw materials. If the ham raw materials are squeezed together, it is difficult for the pickling material to be quickly coated on the surface of the ham raw materials. Therefore, the separating device 2 is needed to separate the squeezed block ham raw materials. When the tank body 1 rotates, the block-shaped ham raw material will be brought to a higher position by the inner wall of the pickling chamber 16 under the action of friction, and then as the friction decreases, the ham raw material will fall down under the action of gravity. If the partition device 2 is not installed, the ham raw materials will slide downward along the inner wall of the pickling chamber 16 as a whole, so the different block-shaped ham raw materials basically remain relatively still and cannot achieve a good separation effect. However, by setting the partition device 2, the ham raw material stuck by the partition device 2 will be brought to a higher position, and thus fall directly from a high place to the bottom of the pickling chamber, which can bring about relative displacement between adjacent ham raw materials, realize the separation of different block-shaped ham raw materials, and the ham raw material that directly falls to the bottom of the pickling chamber 16 will also be easier to be completely immersed in the marinade. The coating is more uniform. At the same time, when the partition device 2 moves to the bottom of the pickling chamber 16, the uneven contact between different areas of the prism 201 and the ham raw material will generate a deflection force, thereby driving the prism 201 to rotate relative to the connecting cylinder 203. After the force is applied, it will also rotate in the opposite direction under the action of the torsion spring 202. Therefore, during the rotation of the prism 201, relative displacement and gaps will be generated between the block ham raw materials in contact with it, so that the pickling material can more easily penetrate into the ham raw material from there, further improving the pickling efficiency, and the prism 201 will also rotate under the flushing of the high-pressure water column, so that it can be cleaned more thoroughly, which is convenient for cleaning, thereby further solving the problem that the existing ham pickling equipment is not easy to clean and is prone to contamination, and can effectively improve food safety.

[0030] Embodiment 4: Based on Embodiment 3, the present invention further provides a method for using a low-salt ham pickling device, comprising the following steps: Step 1: First, disassemble the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 for safety inspection to eliminate potential faults and residual impurities, then adjust the tilt angle of the tank body 1 so that the rear shell 102 faces the ground, then place the ham raw material and the pickling material in the pickling chamber 16 located on one side of the rear shell 102, then assemble and fix the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 together, or first put the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 together, then feed the ham raw material and the pickling material into the pickling chamber 16 through the feed port 31, then readjust the tilt angle of the tank body 1 so that the front shell 101 faces the ground, then push open the closing column 402 through the push rod 13, and then use the vacuum pump 26 to evacuate the pickling chamber 16 and maintain the vacuum state; Step 2: After the vacuum chamber 16 is evacuated, the tank body 1 is driven to rotate by the rotary motor 21. When the rotary motor 21 is not installed on the first carrier 19 and the second carrier 23, the tank body 1 can also be rotated by manually pushing the tank body 1, so that the ham raw material and the pickling material can be mixed along the inner wall of the pickling chamber 16 under the combined action of gravity and centrifugal force as the tank body 1 rotates. During the rotation of the tank body 1, the angle between the tank body 1 and the ground is continuously changed by the angle adjustment push rod 28 and the adjustment motor 8, so that the ham raw material and the pickling material can be mixed along the inner wall of the pickling chamber 16 under the combined action of gravity and centrifugal force. The materials at the front and rear ends of the pickling chamber 16 can also be quickly mixed with each other. The rotation speed and rotation pickling time of the tank body 1 are determined according to the different ham raw materials and pickling materials to be pickled. After pickling is completed, the front shell 101 is turned over to face the ground, so that the materials in the pickling chamber 16 move to one side inside the front shell 101, and then the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 are separated, and then the pickled products in the pickling chamber 16 are taken out, or the pickled products can be directly removed from the feed port 31 by opening the sealing plate 15; Step 3: After the pickled product is taken out, the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 are reassembled, and then the tank body 1 continues to rotate, and the cleaning liquid is supplied through the liquid supply pump 25, and then the cleaning liquid is sprayed into the pickling cavity 16 through the rotary spray head 11. When the waste liquid generated by cleaning fills one-third of the inside of the pickling cavity 16, the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 are reopened to discharge the waste liquid, and then the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 are reassembled to continue to use the rotary spray head 11 to spray the cleaning liquid to clean the inside of the pickling cavity 16. Repeat this process at least twice until the inside of the pickling cavity 16 achieves the expected cleaning effect, and then replace the cleaning liquid with clean water and rinse the pickling cavity 16 again to enter the next round of pickling process. During the cleaning process, the front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 do not need to be disassembled, but the waste liquid is directly discharged through the feed port 31. The front shell 101 and the rear shell 102 are separated only when manual cleaning is required.

[0031] Although the above describes the illustrative specific implementation methods of the present application so that technicians in this technical field can understand the present application, the present application is not limited to the scope of the specific implementation methods. For ordinary technicians in this technical field, as long as various changes are within the spirit and scope of the present application defined and determined by the attached claims, all application creations using the concept of the present application are protected.
