Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a food fermented meat processing, pickling and massaging device. Background Art

[0002] Fermented meat products, such as ham, sausage, bacon, etc., are deeply loved by consumers because of their unique flavor and nutritional value. When pickling, fermented meat needs to be mixed with various seasonings such as salt, sugar, soy sauce, cumin powder, etc., and then the seasonings are evenly spread on the surface of the ingredients by kneading and penetrate into the inside of the ingredients to achieve the pickling effect. With the rapid development of the food industry, the market demand for high-quality, standardized fermented meat products is increasing, and the pickling work of fermented meat has also changed from the original manual pickling to mechanized pickling.

[0003] In recent years, the automation and intelligence of food machinery have developed rapidly, providing technical support for the innovation of fermented meat processing equipment. At present, the existing pickling equipment on the market mainly uses a rotating method to make the fermented meat tumble and beat inside the equipment to achieve the purpose of kneading the fermented meat. However, the kneading effect of this method is poor. It can only make one side or part of the fermented meat bear force, but it cannot knead the fermented meat as a whole, resulting in the inability to evenly penetrate or distribute the seasoning, affecting its pickling effect.

Detailed implementation manners

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments.

[0019] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0020] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations. This embodiment is written in a progressive manner.

[0021] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, a food fermented meat processing and marinating massage device of the present invention includes a rotating barrel 1, a first power source 2, and a soft roller 3 located inside the rotating barrel 1 and performing a rotating motion. The axis of the rotating barrel 1 is horizontal. The first power source 2 provides power for the rotating motion of the rotating barrel 1, and the rotation speed of the rotating barrel 1 changes periodically. In at least part of the interval within a cycle of the change in the rotation speed of the rotating barrel 1, the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3 move at the same speed.

[0022] In the present invention, both the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3 are horizontal. The soft roller 3 is located inside the rotating barrel 1 and cooperates with the inner wall of the rotating barrel 1 to marinate the fermented meat. Specifically, when the fermented meat is placed inside the rotating barrel 1, the inner wall of the rotating barrel 1 and the outer wall of the soft roller 3 squeeze the fermented meat. Utilizing the characteristic that the material of the soft roller 3 is softer, the soft roller 3 can be more closely attached to the fermented meat, and it can simulate the way of hand kneading, making the seasonings on the surface of the fermented meat more evenly distributed. And this kneading method can help the seasonings penetrate into the interior of the fermented meat; the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3 rotate in the same direction. The first power source 2 is mainly used to provide power for the self-rotation motion of the rotating barrel 1. Since the rotation speed of the rotating barrel 1 changes periodically, that is, when the rotating barrel 1 rotates one week, there are multiple cycles of rotation speed changes within one week. This variable speed motion can cause relative motion between the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3. For example, when the rotation speed of the rotating barrel 1 is faster, the relative motion speed of the rotating barrel 1 relative to the soft roller 3 is faster; when the rotation speed of the rotating barrel 1 is slower, the relative motion speed of the rotating barrel 1 relative to the soft roller 3 is slower. In this way, within a cycle of the change in the rotation speed of the rotating barrel 1, the points on the rotating barrel 1 can perform periodic forward and backward motions relative to the soft roller 3. That is, assuming the soft roller 3 is stationary, the rotating barrel 1 can perform reciprocating motion relative to the soft roller 3. And since both the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3 will contact the fermented meat, this relative reciprocating motion method can enable the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3 to cooperate to perform relative kneading treatment on the upper and lower surfaces of the fermented meat, thereby realizing the kneading and massaging work of the fermented meat and improving the marinating effect of the fermented meat; It should be noted that since the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3 rotate in the same direction, the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3 can roll and knead the fermented meat. And when the rotating barrel 1 drives the fermented meat to separate from the soft roller 3, the inner wall of the rotating barrel 1 will drive the fermented meat to move to a higher position due to the adhesion of the juice, and the fermented meat will naturally fall onto the soft roller 3, thus realizing the beating treatment of the fermented meat. And due to the buffering of the soft roller 3, it is convenient to protect the fermented meat. The rotating soft roller 3 will carry the fermented meat and move it back between the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3, thereby realizing the repeated massage and kneading treatment of the fermented meat; By adopting a combination of various operations such as extrusion, relative kneading, and beating to process the fermented meat, it is convenient to make the seasonings evenly and comprehensively adhere to the surface of the fermented meat, and it helps the seasonings to penetrate into the interior of the fermented meat, improving the pickling effect of the fermented meat.

[0023] Furthermore, the soft roller 3 is one of an inflatable airbag or a soft rubber roller.

[0024] When the soft roller 3 is an inflatable airbag, it can adaptively adjust according to the shape and size of the fermented meat to ensure close fit with the meat surface, avoiding uneven massage. And the elastic characteristics of the inflatable airbag can buffer the impact on the fermented meat, preventing the meat from being damaged due to excessive extrusion. For the hardness of the airbag, the hardness and massage strength can also be adjusted by adjusting the inflation pressure, which is convenient to adapt to different types and thicknesses of fermented meat; When a soft rubber roller is adopted, it can also evenly extrude and knead the surface of the fermented meat. At the same time, due to the high wear resistance and fatigue resistance of the soft rubber material, it is suitable for continuous long-term work. The elasticity of the soft rubber can simulate the action of manual kneading, making the seasonings better penetrate into the interior of the fermented meat; Of course, the soft roller 3 can also be made of materials such as silica gel, polyurethane, sponge, and elastic fiber.

[0025] Furthermore, the soft roller 3 is located at the lower side inside the rotating barrel 1, and the soft roller 3 moves reciprocally in the vertical direction.

[0026] When the soft roller 3 cooperates with the rotating barrel 1 to massage and marinate the fermented meat, if the soft roller 3 is coaxial with the rotating barrel 1, the gap between the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3 is always consistent in the circumferential direction. When the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3 rotate, they will always have an squeezing effect on the fermented meat, resulting in the fermented meat being unable to separate from the soft roller 3 and fall off and be beaten. Therefore, the soft roller 3 needs to be located at the lower side of the rotating barrel 1, so that the larger space on the upper side of the soft roller 3 can provide space for the fermented meat to fall, and because the radius of the rotating barrel 1 is larger than the radius of the soft roller 3, when the soft roller 3 is gradually separated from the rotating barrel 1, even if the fermented meat is adhered to the surface of the soft roller 3, as the soft roller 3 rotates, the inclination angle of the outer wall of the soft roller 3 gradually increases, and the fermented meat will also fall onto the inner wall of the rotating barrel 1 and move to a high position with the rotating barrel 1. Since the soft roller 3 can move back and forth in the vertical direction in addition to rotation, the soft roller 3 can repeatedly beat the fermented meat at the bottom thereof to improve the pickling effect of the fermented meat; since the soft roller 3 will be deformed when in contact with the fermented meat, the soft roller 3 and the fermented meat will be in contact for a specified time instead of being directly separated once in contact, so during the contact time, the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3 can perform massage operations such as relative kneading and squeezing on the fermented meat.

[0027] Furthermore, the first power source 2 includes a first motor 4, a first transmission wheel 5 and a transmission ring 6. The first transmission wheel 5 and the transmission ring 6 are connected to each other in a transmission manner. The first transmission wheel 5 is eccentrically mounted on the output end of the first motor 4, and the transmission ring 6 is mounted on the rotating barrel 1.

[0028] In the present invention, since the first transmission wheel 5 is eccentrically mounted on the output end of the first motor 4, there are points on the first transmission wheel 5 that are farther away from and closer to its rotation axis, namely, a far point and a near point. The linear velocity of the far point is faster, and the linear velocity of the near point is slower. When the far point contacts the transmission ring 6, the rotation speed of the transmission ring 6 is faster, and when the near point contacts the transmission ring 6, the rotation speed of the transmission ring 6 is slower. In this way, the periodic change effect of the rotation speed of the transmission ring 6 is achieved. The transmission ring 6 transmits this effect to the rotating barrel 1, thereby achieving a motion state in which the rotation speed of the rotating barrel 1 changes periodically. At the same time, since the first transmission wheel 5 continuously transmits power to the transmission ring 6 and the rotating barrel 1, the rotating barrel 1 can be kept in a rotating state.

[0029] Furthermore, the transmission ring 6 has a petal-shaped appearance.

[0030] Since the first transmission wheel 5 is eccentrically installed on the output end of the first motor 4, the different contact positions of the first transmission wheel 5 and the transmission ring 6 will cause the distance between the output end of the first motor 4 and the axis of the rotating barrel 1 to change. In this way, it is necessary to continuously change the position of the first motor 4. To avoid this phenomenon, the outer shape of the transmission ring 6 can be designed into a petal shape. The far point of the first transmission wheel 5 can contact the concave position on the transmission ring 6, and the near point of the first transmission wheel 5 can contact the convex position of the transmission ring 6, thereby realizing the differential transmission effect of the first transmission wheel 5 and the transmission ring 6, and ensuring that the position of the first motor 4 can be fixed.

[0031] Furthermore, the rotating barrel 1 includes a cylinder 7 located in the middle and two side plates 8 located on both sides of the cylinder 7. The two side plates 8 block the two ends of the cylinder 7, and the cylinder 7 rotates on the side plates 8. The first motor 4 is fixed on the side plates 8, and the transmission ring 6 is installed on the cylinder 7. Each side plate 8 is provided with a second power source 23 for providing power for the movement of the soft roller 3.

[0032] In the present invention, the soft roller 3 is located in the cylinder 7, and the two side plates 8 are used to support the cylinder 7 and facilitate the closed chamber inside the cylinder 7. In this way, the side plates 8 can support the entire equipment, and the movement of the transmission ring 6 can be transmitted to the cylinder 7, so that the rotation speed of the cylinder 7 changes periodically. The second power source 23 can provide power for the rotation and up and down reciprocating motion of the soft roller 3, and the side plates 8 can provide an installation position for the second power source 23.

[0033] Furthermore, the second power source 23 includes a long groove 9 opened on the end face of the side plate 8, the length direction of the long groove 9 is along the radial direction of the side plate 8, a rotating column 10 is arranged in the long groove 9, one end of the rotating column 10 slides along the length direction of the long groove 9 and extends out of the side plate 8, a first bevel gear 11 is arranged on the rotating column 10, a second bevel gear 12 is meshed on the first bevel gear 11, the second bevel gear 12 is transmission-connected to the soft roller 3, and the other end of the rotating column 10 is connected to the soft roller 3 via a connecting frame 13.

[0034] In the present invention, the rotating column 10 can rotate and move up and down in the long groove 9. The rotation of the rotating column 10 can be transmitted to the soft roller 3 through the first bevel gear 11 and the second bevel gear 12, so that the soft roller 3 rotates. The connection work of the rotating column 10 and the soft roller 3 can be realized by using the connecting frame 13, that is, the connecting frame 13 needs to be rotatably connected with the rotating column 10, and the connecting frame 13 needs to be rotatably connected with the soft roller 3. By using two connecting frames 13, the support and transmission work of the soft roller 3 can be realized; when the rotating column 10 moves up and down, the rotating column 10 can drive the soft roller 3 to reciprocate on the vertical plane, thereby realizing the composite motion mode of the soft roller 3.

[0035] Further, the second power source 23 further includes a second motor 14 fixed on the side plate 8. A second transmission wheel 15 is provided at the output end of the second motor 14. A third transmission wheel 16 is provided on the rotating column 10 and is in transmission connection with the second transmission wheel 15. A connecting platform 17 is provided at the end of the rotating column 10. The connecting platform 17 is connected to the end face of the second transmission wheel 15 through a push-pull rod 18. Moreover, the connection position of the push-pull rod 18 and the second transmission wheel 15 is eccentrically located on the second transmission wheel 15. A vertical column 19 is slidably inserted along the length direction of the rotating column 10 on the connecting platform 17, and the vertical column 19 is fixed on the side plate 8.

[0036] By using the second motor 14, power can be transmitted to the second transmission wheel 15. The rotation of the second transmission wheel 15 can be transmitted to the rotating column 10 through the third transmission wheel 16, so as to make the rotating column 10 rotate. Since the push-pull rod 18 is eccentrically connected to the second transmission wheel 15, the second transmission wheel 15 will drive the connecting platform 17 to perform reciprocating up and down movements through the push-pull rod 18. At this time, the connecting platform 17 will drive the rotating column 10 to perform reciprocating up and down movements; when the rotating column 10 rotates, it moves relative to the connecting platform 17. The setting of the vertical column 19 is mainly used to guide the connecting platform 17.

[0037] Further, a plurality of soft ridges 20 are provided on the inner wall of the cylinder body 7 and the outer wall of the soft roller 3.

[0038] By providing the soft ridges 20, when the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3 rotate, the fermented meat between the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3 can be pushed outwards, helping the fermented meat to move to a high position following the rotating barrel 1, avoiding the accumulation of the fermented meat on one side of the soft roller 3. At the same time, part of the fermented meat is allowed to move following the soft roller 3 under the push of the soft ridges 20 on the soft roller 3; since the material of the soft ridges 20 is also relatively soft, it will not affect the kneading work of the fermented meat during the differential movement of the rotating barrel 1 and the soft roller 3.

[0039] Further, inclined surfaces 21 inclined towards the middle of the cylinder body 7 are provided on the inner walls of both end faces of the cylinder body 7.

[0040] By using the inclined surfaces 21, it is convenient to make the fermented meat in the cylinder body 7 gather near the middle of the cylinder body 7, avoiding the random dispersion of the fermented milk in the cylinder body 7; during actual use, a material opening needs to be provided on the cylinder body 7 for convenient loading and unloading, and a sealing plate 22 needs to be sealed on the material opening. The surface of the sealing plate 22 is coplanar with the inner wall of the rotating barrel 1.

[0041] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and deformations can still be made, and these improvements and deformations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
