Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of braising, and in particular to a system for braising soft-boiled eggs, a method for braising eggs, and equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Braising is a process in which ingredients are placed in a braising broth, heated and cooked to absorb flavor. The traditional braising method involves placing the ingredients in heated braising broth and braising for a period of time before removing them.

[0003] For braised eggs, the traditional braising method is usually used, which involves placing the eggs in braising broth and heating them to cook and infuse them with flavor. However, this braising method is not suitable for industrial production processes. Furthermore, the traditional braising method involves heating at a high temperature, which will inevitably make the eggs fully cooked and unable to form a soft-boiled yolk.

[0004] There are some automated braising machines on the market; however, these machines all use high-temperature braising broth, which will cook the eggs thoroughly and make it impossible to produce soft-boiled eggs.

[0005] Meanwhile, existing braising methods and equipment do not have precise temperature control, resulting in large temperature differences during the braising process, which affects the braising effect and makes quality control unstable.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this application is: how to accurately control the braising temperature of braised eggs. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a soft-boiled egg braising system, an egg braising method and equipment.

[0008] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: The soft-boiled egg braising system includes a feeding unit and a braising unit. The feeding unit includes a braising broth feeding module and a cleaned egg feeding module. The braising liquid feeding module is used to feed the braising liquid into the braising tank; The egg-cleaning feeding module is used to feed cleaned eggs into the braising tank; The braising unit includes a braising tank, a transmission module, and a temperature control module. The braising tank is used to hold the braising liquid and eggs. The transmission module is used to transport the brine tanks; The temperature control module is used for real-time monitoring of the temperature inside the braising liquid and braising tank. The temperature inside the braising tank is maintained between 50°C and 60°C.

[0009] The temperature control module includes a temperature control center and a tank temperature sensor. The temperature control center is connected to the tank temperature sensor, which is located inside the halogenation tank.

[0010] The braising liquid feeding module is equipped with a braising liquid temperature sensor, which is connected to the temperature control center.

[0011] The braising tank includes a tank body and a tank lid, with the tank temperature sensor located on the tank lid.

[0012] It also includes a tilting module, which is used to control the shaking of the braising tank.

[0013] The method for braising eggs includes the following steps: Pour the cleaned eggs and the braising liquid at temperature a into the braising pot; Seal the braising tank and proceed with the braising process; The temperature inside the braising tank is monitored in real time. The temperature b inside the braising tank is measured at the set braising time node. The difference between temperature a and temperature b is set as the braising temperature decay value. The braising temperature decay value over a period of time is defined as the braising decay rate. The braising temperature decay rate shall not exceed 2.5℃ / hour.

[0014] The temperature decay during the entire braising process does not exceed 6℃.

[0015] Egg braising equipment includes a braising tank, which consists of a tank body and a lid. The lid is equipped with a temperature sensor that monitors the temperature inside the tank in real time.

[0016] The tank body is a vacuum jacketed tank.

[0017] The lid also features a wireless charging unit.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This soft-boiled egg braising system uses a temperature control module to maintain the temperature inside the braising tank at 50℃ to 60℃ in real time, ensuring the braising effect of the soft-boiled quail eggs. The temperature will not be too high, which will affect the soft-boiled effect. At the same time, it can also ensure the braising effect. The temperature inside the tank is monitored in real time during the braising process. If the temperature exceeds the permissible range, it is considered as poor quality and is rejected. This egg braising method seals the cleaned eggs and braising broth inside a braising tank. The preheated braising broth does not require additional heating within the tank. The braising temperature is controlled by the heat preservation performance of the tank. No further heating is needed inside the tank during the entire braising process. At the same time, the tank is monitored in real time. If the braising temperature decay rate exceeds 2.5℃ / hour or the overall temperature decay value is greater than 6℃, it indicates that there is a problem with the sealing of the braising tank, and the braising effect of the product is not satisfactory. It is considered a defective product and is rejected. This egg braising equipment uses independent small braising tanks to maintain the braising temperature through insulation. The braising tanks are circulated to ensure proper braising in each tank. The temperature in each braising tank is monitored in real time. When the temperature exceeds the preset value, it is considered defective, and the braising material in the tank with the abnormal temperature is directly discarded. This ensures the control of braising quality. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides a technical solution: The soft-boiled egg braising system includes a feeding unit 1 and a braising unit 2. The feeding unit 1 includes a braising broth feeding module and a cleaned egg feeding module 12. The braising broth feeding module is used to feed the braising broth into the braising tank 3; the cleaned egg feeding module 12 is used to feed the cleaned eggs into the braising tank 3. The feeding unit 1 is equipped with a can body feeding conveyor belt 13 and a can lid installation conveyor belt 14. Near the feeding unit 1, there is a can circulation unit 7 for placing clean can bodies 32 and can lids 33. In this embodiment, a can body feeding robot 16 and a can lid feeding robot 17 are respectively set to pick up and place the clean can bodies 32 and can lids 33 onto the can body feeding conveyor belt 13 and the can lid installation conveyor belt 14. The can body feeding conveyor belt 13 then transports the empty can bodies 32 to the cleaned egg feeding module 12 and the brine feeding module for feeding. The can lid installation conveyor belt 14 transports the can lids 33, waiting to be installed with the can bodies 32 after feeding.

[0023] The cleaned egg feeding module 12 includes a cleaned egg conveying device 121 and a metering and filling structure 122. The cleaned egg conveying device 121 is set as an inclined conveyor belt to transport the peeled and washed white eggs to the metering and filling structure 122. The metering and filling structure 122 automatically measures and sends the cleaned eggs into the tank body 32 located below. The braising liquid feeding module also measures and pours the braising liquid into the tank body 32.

[0024] The entire system is equipped with multiple braising liquid storage tanks 111, which can be used for heating and storing braising liquid. Multiple braising liquid storage tanks 111 also facilitate the uninterrupted injection of braising liquid. When the braising liquid used in one braising liquid storage tank 111 is about to run out, another braising liquid storage tank 111 that has been heated and adjusted can be connected to ensure uninterrupted injection of braising liquid.

[0025] The tank body 32, after being fed, continues to be transported to the tank cover installation device 18 via the tank body feeding conveyor belt 13.

[0026] The can lid installation device 18 assembles the transported can body 32 and can lid 33 and sends them into the transmission module 4.

[0027] The braising unit 2 includes a braising tank 3, a transmission module 4, and a temperature control module; The transmission module 4 is used to transport the braising tank 3. The transmission module 4 includes a braising transport transmission belt 41, a wireless charging rack 42, and a flipping module 43. The braising conveyor belt 41 receives the braising tank 3 after it has been fed in and assembled and sealed, and keeps it in continuous motion. The transportation time of the braising tank 3 on the braising conveyor belt 41 depends on the corresponding braising time. That is, the braising time is controlled by controlling the transmission speed of the braising conveyor belt 41 while keeping the braising conveyor belt 41 moving the same distance.

[0028] The lid 33 is equipped with a wireless charging unit 34. During the transportation of the braising tank 3 on the braising transport conveyor belt 41, it will pass through the wireless charging rack 42 to achieve contactless charging, ensuring that the power on the lid 33 can continuously detect the temperature inside the braising tank 3 and wirelessly transmit the signal to the temperature control center.

[0029] During the process of transporting the braising tank 3 by the braising conveyor belt 41, a flipping module 43 is also provided to control the shaking of the braising tank 3. When the braising tank 3 is transported to the position of the flipping module 43, the flipping module 43 clamps the braising tank 3 with a clamping manipulator and performs a shaking and flipping action. After completing the designed shaking angle and time, the braising tank 3 is put back into the braising conveyor belt 41 to continue transportation. In this embodiment, there are multiple flipping modules 43 to achieve a flipping once after a period of time.

[0030] The flipping module 43 is also equipped with a signal communication module to transmit the signal of whether the flipping is completed to the central control center. If a certain braising tank 3 fails to complete the flipping action normally, it is determined that the braising tank 3 is not properly braising and is removed.

[0031] The flipping motion is to ensure that the quail eggs and braising liquid mix more thoroughly, ensuring even braising and preventing the braising liquid from settling and becoming insufficient.

[0032] During the transportation of the braising tank 3 on the braising transport conveyor belt 41, the temperature control module monitors the temperature inside the braising tank 3 in real time.

[0033] This embodiment is applied to the braising of soft-boiled quail eggs. In this embodiment, the temperature inside the braising tank 3 is maintained at 50°C to 60°C to ensure the braising effect and the soft-boiled effect of the quail eggs.

[0034] The temperature control module includes a temperature control center and a tank temperature sensor 31. The temperature control center is connected to the tank temperature sensor 31, which is located inside the halogenation tank 3.

[0035] The braising liquid feeding module is equipped with a braising liquid temperature sensor, which is connected to the temperature control center.

[0036] In this embodiment, the body 32 of the braising tank 3 is made of stainless steel vacuum jacketed tank, which has excellent heat preservation effect after the lid 33 is closed, which helps to keep the temperature inside the braising tank 3 between 50°C and 60°C.

[0037] When the temperature control center receives a signal that the temperature inside a certain braising tank 3 is not within the range of 50℃ to 60℃, it determines that the braising tank 3 has a problem with brining and removes the braising tank 3.

[0038] It also includes a discharge unit 6 and a tank circulation unit 7. The discharge unit 6 includes a discharge robot 61. The discharge robot 61 opens the delivered braised tank 3, separates the lid 33 and the tank body 32, and then pours out the braised eggs and braising liquid in the braised tank 3. The braised eggs are sent to packaging, and the braising liquid is recycled.

[0039] The tank recycling unit 7 recovers the disassembled tank lid 33 and tank body 32, and after cleaning, disinfection, and drying, transports them back to the vicinity of the feeding unit 1 for recycling.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] The method for braising eggs includes the following steps: Pour the cleaned eggs and the braising liquid at temperature a into the braising pot; Seal the braising tank and proceed with the braising process; The temperature inside the braising tank is monitored in real time. The temperature b inside the braising tank is measured at the set braising time node. The difference between the temperature a and the temperature b is set as the braising temperature decay value. The braising temperature decay value over a period of time is defined as the braising decay rate. The braising temperature decay rate is not higher than 2.5℃ / hour.

[0042] The temperature decay during the entire braising process shall not exceed 6°C.

[0043] In this embodiment, the braising tank is the same as the braising tank 3 in Example 1, which is a vacuum metal tank. After the lid 33 is placed on top, it provides excellent heat retention. This braising method can be applied not only to the soft-boiled egg temperature range of 50°C to 60°C as in Example 1, but also to the braising of conventional braised eggs. This braising method achieves high-precision control and temperature stability of the braising temperature, ensuring the quality of each batch of braised eggs. This braising method uses heat preservation braising, without additional heating during the process, resulting in better control over the quality of the braised eggs.

[0044] Using the egg braising method of this embodiment, the following case experiment was conducted: Test Example 1 Quail eggs were selected and placed in a 5 kg braising pot. The braising liquid temperature was 58.6 degrees Celsius, the braising time was 150 minutes, and the ambient temperature was 13 degrees Celsius. The temperature was recorded every 10 minutes.

[0045] Test Example 2 Quail eggs were selected and placed in a 10 kg braising pot. The braising liquid temperature was 59 degrees Celsius, the braising time was 150 minutes, and the ambient temperature was 13 degrees Celsius. The temperature was recorded every 10 minutes.

[0046] Test Example 3 Quail eggs were selected and placed in a 30 kg braising pot. The braising liquid temperature was 59 degrees Celsius, the braising time was 150 minutes, and the ambient temperature was 13 degrees Celsius. The temperature was recorded every 10 minutes.

[0047] Test Example 4 Quail eggs were selected and placed in a 10 kg braising pot. The braising liquid temperature was 78 degrees Celsius, the braising time was 150 minutes, and the ambient temperature was 13 degrees Celsius. The temperature was recorded every 10 minutes.

[0048] Test Example 5 Quail eggs were selected and placed in a 20 kg braising pot. The braising liquid temperature was 72.9 degrees Celsius, the braising time was 150 minutes, and the ambient temperature was 13 degrees Celsius. The temperature was recorded every 10 minutes.

[0049] The test case data above is presented in the table below:

[0050] Table 1 By observing the data in Table 1, using the braising tank and braising method of this embodiment, the braising temperature decay rates for the five test cases were 0.75℃ / hour, 0.85℃ / hour, 0.95℃ / hour, 1.35℃ / hour, and 1.15℃ / hour, respectively. Parameters affecting the temperature decay rate include ambient temperature, braising liquid temperature, braising weight, and the size of the braising tank. In the above test cases, the ambient temperature and the braising product were standardized. It is evident that the higher the initial temperature difference between the braising liquid and the ambient temperature, the higher the temperature decay rate; and the larger the specifications of the braising tank (volume and braising weight), the higher the temperature decay rate.

[0051] In this embodiment, test cases 1, 2, and 3 are applicable to the braising of soft-boiled quail eggs; Test examples 4 and 5 are applicable to the braising of fully cooked hard-boiled eggs.

[0052] Using the braising method in this embodiment, there is no additional heating during the braising process. The entire process relies on maintaining the temperature of the braising liquid, which effectively prevents uneven heating and other issues that could lead to inconsistent braising quality, thus ensuring the braising effect of each jar of braised eggs.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
