Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of beef processing, in particular to a beef processing and pickling device and a beef pickling method. Background Art

[0002] In the field of beef processing, pickling is a key process to enhance the flavor of beef, improve its texture and extend its shelf life. Its technical level and equipment performance directly affect the quality and production efficiency of beef products. The traditional method of pickling beef is to manually mix the seasoning with the beef and then let it stand for pickling. There are many problems with this method. From the perspective of uniformity, manual stirring makes it difficult to ensure that each piece of beef is evenly coated with the seasoning, resulting in uneven taste and texture of the marinated beef.

[0003] Therefore, more and more manufacturers adopt mechanized marination, placing the beef in a tumbling drum, and using the principle of physical impact to let the meat flip up and down in the drum, collide and beat each other, to achieve massage and marinating effects. However, existing tumbling machines mostly achieve meat tumbling through simple drum rotation, which is prone to insufficient meat tumbling, excessive or insufficient local tumbling, so that it may take a long time to complete an effective tumbling cycle. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a beef processing and pickling device and a beef pickling method to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] A deflection plate and a movable clamping strip are arranged on the inner wall of the tumbling and kneading drum. The deflection plate is driven by a linkage assembly and performs an up and down deflection motion, so as to pick up the meat material in the tumbling and kneading drum from a low place and throw it down from a high place.

[0007] The movable clamping strip performs radial telescopic movement in the tumbling drum and a lifting plate is arranged at its end, and the lifting plate bounces the meat material thrown down by the deflection plate upward, thereby increasing the number of tumbling times of the meat material per unit time;

[0014] Preferably, a limit position assembly is also provided on the tumbling drum for assisting lateral positioning of the deflection plate;

[0015] The limiting assembly and the linkage assembly are driven alternately. The limiting assembly includes a lateral moving seat for horizontal movement and a limiting block. The side wall of the deflection plate is provided with a slot for accommodating the limiting block.

[0016] Preferably, a second path groove is provided on the transverse moving seat, and the second path groove consists of an upper linear groove and a lower oblique groove;

[0017] A clamping column is clamped in the second path groove, and the clamping column is pushed by the vertical push bar and provides radial force to the second path groove. The lower end of the vertical push bar is fixedly connected to the driven push frame.

[0018] Preferably, one end of the driven push frame is fixedly connected to the movable clamping strip, and the other end of the driven push frame is abuttingly connected to the linkage assembly;

[0019] The linkage assembly includes a spur gear, a vertical rack and a No. 3 spring, and the spur gear is coaxially connected to the central shaft;

[0020] The vertical rack is provided with an upward push force by the driven push frame and a downward force by the No. 3 spring to push the spur gear to rotate forward and reverse.

[0021] Preferably, the movable clamping strip is provided with an arc-shaped outer edge protruding from one end away from the lifting plate, and a second spring is provided on the inner wall of the arc-shaped outer edge;

[0022] The lifting plate is detachably fixed on the movable clamping strip, and the surface of the lifting plate is evenly provided with protrusions.

[0023] Preferably, the outer wall of the movable clamping strip is provided with a docking groove that can be engaged with the top of the main pushing frame; the main pushing frame is provided with a first path groove;

[0024] The first path groove is composed of an inclined groove a and an inclined groove b. The inclined angle of the inclined groove b close to the groove wheel mechanism is greater than the inclined angle of the inclined groove a. A toggle rod is clamped in the first path groove.

[0025] Preferably, the toggle rod is arranged on the connecting bar, and the connecting bar is provided with horizontal driving force by a driven component, and the driven component includes a translation seat, a longitudinal movement plate, a driving column and a contact plate;

[0026] An oblique groove for accommodating a push column is provided on the translation seat, a No. 1 spring is provided at the lower end of a resistance plate, and the upper end of the resistance plate resists against a connecting cylindrical pin.

[0027] A pickling method is used in a beef processing and pickling device, and the pickling method comprises the following steps:

[0028] S1: Equipment preparation stage:

[0029] Check the integrity of each part of the tumbler to ensure that they are not damaged or loose; and clean the inside of the tumbler to ensure that there is no residual meat or impurities;

[0030] S2: Meat and seasoning addition stage:

[0031] Open the sealing cover of the feeding port of the tumbling drum, and carefully put the prepared beef material into the tumbling drum. Be careful not to over-stack it, so as not to affect the tumbling effect.

[0032] Accurately weigh the appropriate amount of seasonings according to the recipe and sprinkle them evenly on the beef;

[0033] Replace the sealing cover of the feed inlet to ensure a good seal to prevent juice leakage during the marinating process;

[0034] S3: Tumbling process control stage:

[0035] The driving motor is turned on, and the active dial starts to rotate continuously. At this time, the grooved wheel mechanism starts to work, and the cylindrical pin rotates under the drive of the active dial. When the cylindrical pin has not yet entered the radial groove of the grooved wheel, the tumbling drum remains stationary. During this period, the deflection plate deflects downward, and the meat material accumulated on it is thrown down. At the same time, the lifting plate on the movable card strip bounces the thrown meat material upward, increasing the collision and friction between the meat materials.

[0036] When the cylindrical pin enters the radial groove of the groove wheel, the locking arc separates, the cylindrical pin drives the groove wheel to rotate, and the tumbling drum rotates synchronously. At this time, the main push frame and the deflection plate are both stationary, ensuring the stable rotation of the tumbling drum, so that the meat material is further mixed during the rotation process;

[0037] And according to the type, size and desired marinating effect of beef, the running time and speed of the driving motor are reasonably set, so as to control the intermittent movement frequency and duration of the tumbling drum to achieve the best marinating effect;

[0038] S3: Subsequent processing stage:

[0039] After the marinating is completed, turn off the drive motor and wait for the tumbler to stop rotating completely;

[0040] Open the sealing cover of the feed port, carefully take out the marinated beef for subsequent processing; thoroughly clean the tumbler again.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0042] 1. The present invention is provided with a flip plate which can pick up the meat from a low place and drop it from a high place, so that the meat undergoes complex motion trajectories at different heights and positions, thereby ensuring that each piece of meat can be evenly kneaded and massaged to a greater extent, and the provided top material plate can bounce the dropped meat upward at the same time, further disrupting the original distribution of the meat, increasing the chances of mutual collision and friction between the meat, and ensuring that the meat can be fully rolled and kneaded in all directions, thereby improving the overall uniformity.

[0043] 2. The grooved wheel mechanism in the present invention drives the tumbling drum to perform intermittent motion, and when the tumbling drum is stationary, the movable clamping strip and the deflection plate located at the lowest position move quickly; this additional movement of the meat material when the tumbling drum is stationary greatly increases the number of tumbling times of the meat material per unit time. Compared with the continuous and slow rotation of the traditional tumbling machine, it can achieve the ideal tumbling effect in a shorter time, meeting the efficiency requirements of large-scale production.

[0044] 3. The intermittent rotation of the tumbler and the more intermittent and dynamic movement of the meat in the device have changed the situation of long-term continuous friction between the meat and the inner wall in the traditional tumbler. During the process of throwing and bouncing, the contact time and friction force distribution with the inner wall of the tumbler are more uniform and dispersed. When the meat is thrown up by the deflection plate, there is a short frictionless state in the air, which reduces the risk of high temperature generated locally due to continuous friction and extrusion of the meat, avoids protein denaturation, water loss and other problems, better maintains the original quality and taste of the meat, and reduces the damage to the meat caused by the processing process.

[0045] 4. The grooved wheel mechanism in the present invention acts alternately on the driven component and the rolling drum. When the rolling drum needs to be turned over, the main push frame and the deflection plate are both stationary to ensure the stable rotation of the rolling drum; when the rolling drum stops turning over, the active clip and the deflection plate at the lowest position can move quickly and reset. The driven component can drive the main push frame to push the active clip up and down according to the movement state of the cylindrical pin. At the same time, the linkage component and the limit component also control the deflection and positioning of the deflection plate according to the movement state of the active clip. The various components cooperate with each other to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on 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.

[0058] See also Figures 1 to 10The present invention provides a technical solution: a beef processing and marinating device, comprising a rolling and kneading drum 1 and a frame 101, wherein a feed port 2 is provided at one end of the rolling and kneading drum 1 for adding meat material and seasoning spices into the rolling and kneading drum 1, and a sealing cover 3 is fixedly provided at the feed port 2 through a detachable structure; the rolling and kneading drum 1 is driven by a groove wheel 5 mechanism and performs intermittent rotation movement on the frame 101 to realize the turning action of the beef in the drum; the groove wheel 5 mechanism comprises a rotating shaft 4, a groove wheel 5, a cylindrical pin 6, an active dial 7 and a driving motor 8, wherein one end of the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the rolling and kneading drum 1, and the other end of the rotating shaft 4 is coaxially fixedly connected to the groove wheel 5, the active dial 7 is limitedly rotatably installed on the frame 101, and the output shaft of the driving motor 8 is fixedly connected to the active dial 7; when in use, the driving motor 8 is turned on to drive the active dial 7 to rotate. When the cylindrical pin 6 enters the radial groove of the groove wheel 5, the locking arc separates, and the cylindrical pin 6 drives the groove wheel 5 to rotate. At this time, the rolling and kneading cylinder 1 also rotates synchronously, and when the cylindrical pin 6 leaves the radial groove on the other side, the locking arc is stuck again, and the groove wheel 5 is still again; until the cylindrical pin 6 enters another radial groove of the groove wheel 5 again, the above movement is repeated, so that the groove wheel 5 drives the rolling and kneading cylinder 1 to perform intermittent movement of moving and stopping from time to time. In this way, while ensuring the normal rotation of the rolling and kneading cylinder 1, the active card strip 20 at the lowest point of the rolling and kneading cylinder 1 can be pushed upward by the main push frame 18.

[0059] like Figure 2-Figure 7 As shown, a deflection plate 30 and an active clamping strip 20 are arranged on the inner wall of the tumbling drum 1, and the number of radial grooves on the groove wheel 5 is set to be no less than three groups, and the number of the deflection plates 30 and the active clamping strip 20 is consistent with the number of radial grooves; multiple groups of active clamping strips 20 and multiple groups of deflection plates 30 are alternately distributed and distributed in a circular array on the inner wall of the tumbling drum 1; the deflection plate 30 is driven by a linkage component and performs an up-and-down deflection movement, so as to pick up the meat material of the tumbling drum 1 from a low place and throw it down from a high place; the linkage component is driven by an active clamping strip 20 and a ... The movable clamping bar 20 provides power, and the linkage assembly includes a spur gear 32, a vertical rack 33 and a No. 3 spring 34. The spur gear 32 is coaxially connected to the central shaft 31, and the vertical rack 33 is meshingly connected to the spur gear 32.

[0060] like Figure 5-Figure 7As shown, the rotating end of the deflection plate 30 is provided with a central axis 31, which is directly connected to the linkage assembly and keeps the deflection plate 30 at an inclination angle of 10-30° when stationary, so as to ensure that part of the meat material is thrown from a high place. A limit assembly is also provided on the tumbling drum 1, which is used to assist in the lateral positioning of the deflection plate 30; the limit assembly and the linkage assembly are alternately driven by the driven push frame 23, and the limit assembly includes a horizontal moving seat 27 and a limit block 28 for horizontal movement, and a slot 29 for accommodating the limit block 28 is provided on the side wall of the deflection plate 30; a second path slot 26 is provided on the horizontal moving seat 27, and the second path slot 26 consists of an upper linear slot and a lower inclined slot; and a clamping column 25 is clamped in the second path slot 26, and the clamping column 25 is pushed by the vertical push bar 24 and provides a radial force to the second path slot 26, and the lower end of the vertical push bar 24 is fixedly connected to the driven push frame 23.

[0061] Specifically, when the driven push frame 23 moves upward with the movable card strip 20, the card column 25 on the vertical push strip 24 first enters the inclined groove part of the second path groove 26, so that the horizontal moving seat 27 is forced to drive the limit block 28 to be quickly withdrawn from the card groove 29, and then the card column 25 continues to move upward and enters the linear groove part of the second path groove 26. At this time, the horizontal moving seat 27 remains in the position after the movement, and the upper end of the driven push frame 23 pushes on the vertical rack 33, so that the vertical rack 33 squeezes the third spring 34 and drives the spur gear 32 to rotate. The spur gear 32 acts on the central axis 31, so that the deflection plate 30 deflects downward, thereby throwing the meat material accumulated on its inner surface downward. At the same time, the top plate 22 that moves upward with the movable card strip 20 will bounce the thrown meat material upward at the same time, further disrupting the original distribution of the meat material, increasing the collision and friction opportunities between the meat materials, and ensuring that the meat material can be fully rolled and kneaded in all directions, thereby improving the overall uniformity;

[0062] When the driven push frame 23 moves downward with the active card strip 20, the card column 25 on the vertical push bar 24 first enters the linear groove portion of the second path groove 26, so that the horizontal moving seat 27 continues to remain stationary; and the upper end of the driven push frame 23 is disconnected from the vertical rack 33, so that the vertical rack 33 moves downward and returns to its original position under the rebound force of the third spring 34, and the spur gear 32 acts on the central axis 31 again, so that the deflection plate 30 deflects upward to the original position and remains unchanged, and then the card column 25 continues to move downward and enters the oblique groove portion of the second path groove 26, so that the horizontal moving seat 27 is forced to drive the limit block 28 to be inserted into the card groove 29, thereby playing a role in lateral auxiliary positioning of the deflection plate 30, thereby improving the impact resistance of the deflection plate 30 to the continuously turning meat material, and the top plate 22 that moves downward with the active card strip 20 is connected to the active card strip 20 in the through groove and remains stationary.

[0063] like Figure 2 , Figure 5as well as Figure 6 As shown, a through groove for accommodating an active clamping strip 20 is provided on the side wall of the tumbling and kneading drum 1, and the active clamping strip 20 performs radial telescopic movement in the through groove, and a top plate 22 is detachably fixedly provided on one end of the active clamping strip 20, and protrusions are evenly provided on the surface of the top plate 22, and the top plate 22 will bounce the meat material thrown down through the deflection plate 30 upward, thereby increasing the number of times the meat material rolls per unit time; the end of the active clamping strip 20 away from the top plate 22 is protrudingly provided with an arc-shaped outer edge, and a No. 2 spring 21 is provided on the inner wall of the arc-shaped outer edge; the No. 2 spring 21 provides a reset function for the arc-shaped outer edge when the active clamping strip 20 is disconnected from the main push frame 18, so that the active clamping strip 20 can be stably clamped in the through groove and rotate together with the tumbling and kneading drum 1.

[0064] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, a main push frame 18 is provided on the frame body 101, and the main push frame 18 is driven by a driven component and moves up and down in a straight line, so as to push each active clamping strip 20 located directly below the tumbling drum 1; the groove wheel 5 mechanism acts on the driven component and the tumbling drum 1 alternately, and when the tumbling drum 1 needs to be turned over, the main push frame 18 and the deflection plate 30 are both stationary; when the tumbling drum 1 stops turning over, the active clamping strip 20 located at the lowest position moves upward quickly and immediately returns to its original position, and the deflection plate 30 also returns to its original position immediately after quickly turning downward.

[0065] like Figure 8 as well as Fig. 9 As shown, a docking groove 19 which can be engaged with the top of the main push frame 18 is provided on the outer wall of the movable clamping strip 20; a first path groove 17 is provided on the main push frame 18; the first path groove 17 is composed of an inclined groove a and an inclined groove b, and the inclination angle of the inclined groove b on the side close to the groove wheel 5 mechanism is greater than the inclination angle of the inclined groove a.

One end of the longitudinal movement plate 11 is fixedly connected to the contact plate 9, and the other end of the longitudinal movement plate 11 is fixedly connected to the pushing column 12.

[0067] Specifically, when the cylindrical pin 6 is pulled out of one set of radial grooves and drives into another set of radial grooves again, the kneading cylinder 1 remains stationary, and the contact plate 9 is first pressed downward by the cylindrical pin 6 and then quickly bounces upward. When the contact plate 9 moves downward, the longitudinal plate 11 thereon drives the push column 12 to move downward together. The push column 12 acts on the oblique groove 13, so that the translation seat 14 is forced to drive the connecting bar 15 to move horizontally toward the direction of the contact plate 9, and the toggle rod 16 on the connecting bar 15 acts on the first A path groove 17 causes the main push frame 18 to be forced to push the active card strip 20 to move upward; further, when the contact plate 9 is bounced upward, the longitudinal plate 11 thereon drives the push column 12 to move upward together, and the push column 12 acts on the oblique groove 13, so that the translation seat 14 is forced to drive the connecting bar 15 to move horizontally in the direction away from the contact plate 9, and the toggle rod 16 on the connecting bar 15 acts on the first path groove 17 again, so that the main push frame 18 is forced to push the active card strip 20 to move downward.

[0068] A pickling method is used in a beef processing and pickling device, and the pickling method comprises the following steps:

[0069] S1: Equipment preparation stage:

[0070] Check the integrity of each component of the tumbler to ensure that none of the components are damaged or loose; and clean the inside of the tumbler 1 to ensure that there is no residual meat or impurities.

[0071] S2: Meat and seasoning addition stage:

[0072] Open the sealing cover 3 of the feed inlet 2 of the tumbling and kneading cylinder 1, and carefully put the prepared beef material into the tumbling and kneading cylinder 1, being careful not to pile it up excessively so as not to affect the tumbling and kneading effect;

[0073] Accurately weigh the appropriate amount of seasoning spices according to the recipe and sprinkle them evenly on the beef.

[0075] S3: Tumbling process control stage:

[0076] The driving motor 8 is turned on, and the active dial 7 starts to rotate continuously. At this time, the groove wheel 5 mechanism starts to work, and the cylindrical pin 6 rotates under the drive of the active dial 7. When the cylindrical pin 6 has not yet entered the radial groove of the groove wheel 5, the tumbling drum 1 remains stationary. During this period, the deflection plate 30 deflects downward, and the meat material accumulated thereon is thrown downward. At the same time, the lifting plate 22 on the movable card bar 20 bounces the thrown meat material upward, increasing the mutual collision and friction between the meat materials.

[0077] When the cylindrical pin 6 enters the radial groove of the groove wheel 5, the locking arc is separated, the cylindrical pin 6 drives the groove wheel 5 to rotate, and the tumbling drum 1 rotates synchronously. At this time, the main push frame 18 and the deflection plate 30 are both stationary, ensuring that the tumbling drum 1 rotates stably, so that the meat material is further mixed evenly during the rotation process.

[0079] S3: Subsequent processing stage:

[0080] After the pickling is completed, the driving motor 8 is turned off and the tumbling drum 1 is allowed to stop rotating completely;

[0081] Open the sealing cover 3 of the feed inlet 2, carefully take out the marinated beef, and carry out subsequent processing, such as packaging, refrigeration or further cooking.

[0082] The tumbler is cleaned again, especially the movable card strip 20, the deflection plate 30, the top plate 22 and the inner wall of the tumbler 1 which may be in contact with more meat during the pickling process, so as to be used next time.

[0083] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

10. A pickling method, using the beef processing and pickling device according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The pickling method comprises the following steps: S1: Equipment preparation stage: Check the integrity of each part of the tumbler to ensure that they are not damaged or loose; and clean the inside of the tumbler to ensure that there is no residual meat or impurities; S2: Meat and seasoning addition stage: Open the sealing cover of the feeding port of the tumbling drum, and carefully put the prepared beef material into the tumbling drum. Be careful not to over-stack it, so as not to affect the tumbling effect. Accurately weigh the appropriate amount of seasonings according to the recipe and sprinkle them evenly on the beef; Replace the sealing cover of the feed inlet to ensure a good seal to prevent juice leakage during the marinating process; S3: Tumbling process control stage: The driving motor is turned on, and the active dial starts to rotate continuously. At this time, the grooved wheel mechanism starts to work, and the cylindrical pin rotates under the drive of the active dial. When the cylindrical pin has not yet entered the radial groove of the grooved wheel, the tumbling drum remains stationary. During this period, the deflection plate deflects downward, and the meat material accumulated on it is thrown down. At the same time, the lifting plate on the movable card strip bounces the thrown meat material upward, increasing the collision and friction between the meat materials. When the cylindrical pin enters the radial groove of the groove wheel, the locking arc separates, the cylindrical pin drives the groove wheel to rotate, and the tumbling drum rotates synchronously. At this time, the main push frame and the deflection plate are both stationary, ensuring the stable rotation of the tumbling drum, so that the meat material is further mixed during the rotation process; And according to the type, size and desired marinating effect of beef, the running time and speed of the driving motor are reasonably set, so as to control the intermittent movement frequency and duration of the tumbling drum to achieve the best marinating effect; S3: Subsequent processing stage: After the marinating is completed, turn off the drive motor and wait for the tumbler to stop rotating completely; Open the sealing cover of the feed port, carefully take out the marinated beef for subsequent processing; thoroughly clean the tumbler again.
