Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of food processing equipment, and particularly to a pickled pepper soaking device. Background Art

[0002] Pickled peppers, as an important raw material for spicy condiments, occupy an important position in the food industry with their unique spiciness and rich flavors. From various classic dishes in traditional Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine and other cuisines to modern snack foods, convenience foods, etc., pickled peppers play an indispensable role, adding unique charm to all kinds of delicious foods.

[0003] In the field of food processing, the soaking of pickled peppers is a key pretreatment step. Through soaking, pickled peppers can absorb specific flavor substances such as salt, spices, vinegar, etc., thereby further enriching their taste and flavor to meet the taste requirements of different consumers. At the same time, soaking can also soften the tissues of pickled peppers to a certain extent, making them easier for subsequent processing such as chopping, filling, etc. In addition, some physical and chemical changes during the soaking process can also improve the color and texture of pickled peppers, enhancing the appearance quality of the products.

[0004] However, during the soaking process of pickled peppers, a common and rather tricky problem is that pickled peppers are prone to floating on the surface of the soaking liquid. This is mainly because pickled peppers themselves have a relatively small density and light weight, and the buoyancy relationship between them and the soaking liquid causes it difficult for them to be completely submerged by the soaking liquid. This phenomenon will not only lead to uneven soaking of pickled peppers, affecting the flavor consistency of the products, but also may affect the overall quality and taste of the products due to over-soaking or under-soaking in some parts, bringing certain troubles to food processing enterprises and becoming an important factor restricting the optimization of the pickled pepper soaking process and the improvement of product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a pickled pepper soaking device to solve the problem that pickled peppers float on the surface of the soaking liquid and are difficult to be completely soaked in the prior art.

[0006] A pickled pepper soaking device in this solution includes a soaking barrel, which includes a barrel body and a cover body. A hole-punching member is provided inside the barrel body, and there is a working space between the hole-punching member and the top of the cover body. The hole-punching member is connected with an accelerator for accelerating it, and the accelerator is located in the working space. The accelerator includes a support plate, on which a ratchet pawl is provided. A ratchet wheel is provided on the hole-punching member, and the ratchet pawl cooperates with the ratchet wheel. An acceleration gear is fixedly connected to the support plate. The acceleration gear meshes with an annular rack, and the annular rack is connected with a handle. A sliding groove for the movement of the handle is provided on the cover body. The handle penetrates through the sliding groove and is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The hole-punching member is connected with a main shaft, and the main shaft penetrates through the support plate and the acceleration gear and is fixedly connected to the cover body. One end of the handle is connected to the main shaft.

[0007] Working principle and beneficial effects of this solution: During use, put pickled peppers and the soaking liquid into the barrel body and cover the cover body. Move the handle forward in the chute. The handle drives the annular rack to rotate, drives the acceleration gear to rotate, the acceleration gear drives the support plate fixedly connected to it to rotate, the support plate drives the pawl to move, the pawl cooperates with the ratchet on the hole-punching part, drives the hole-punching part to rotate, and the hole-punching part punches holes in the pickled peppers floating on the surface of the soaking liquid. After punching the holes, the soaking liquid can quickly penetrate into the inside of the pickled peppers through the small holes, significantly increasing their weight, prompting the pickled peppers to sink more easily into the soaking liquid, effectively avoiding the problem of uneven soaking caused by the floating of pickled peppers, fundamentally improving the uniformity of pickled pepper soaking, ensuring the consistency of pickled pepper flavor and quality, and during the continuous acceleration of the rotation of the hole-punching part, due to the action of centripetal force, after the pickled peppers are punched, they are easily separated from the hole-punching part. During the forward movement of the handle, the rotation speed of the hole-punching part continuously increases. Then move the handle backward, the support plate moves backward, and the pawl separates from the ratchet. At this time, the hole-punching part will still continue to rotate forward. Since there is no resistance to the hole-punching part when the handle rotates backward, the handle can be continuously moved forward to accelerate the hole-punching part.

[0008] During use, the hole-punching part in this solution can squeeze the pickled peppers at the top into the soaking liquid, avoiding the pickled peppers floating on the surface of the soaking liquid during soaking and being unable to be completely submerged by the soaking liquid, resulting in uneven soaking. Then, by continuously changing the rotation speed of the hole-punching part, the hole-punching and stirring of the floating pickled peppers are realized, breaking the possible agglomeration and condensation phenomenon of the pickled peppers, making the floating pickled peppers as scattered as possible, further ensuring that each pickled pepper can fully contact the soaking liquid, comprehensively improving the soaking effect, and ensuring that the pickled peppers can reach the best state in terms of flavor, taste and texture. The operation process of the whole device is simple and easy to understand. Only by moving the handle in the chute can a series of operations such as hole-punching, squeezing and stirring of the pickled peppers be realized, without complex technologies and professional skills, reducing the working difficulty and labor intensity of the operators. In addition, the device has a compact structure and is suitable for pickled pepper soaking production scenarios of various scales. Whether it is for home-made or industrial batch production, it has extremely high practicality and promotion value, providing an efficient and reliable solution for pickled pepper production and processing.

[0009] Furthermore, a double-layer gear is provided between the annular rack and the acceleration gear, and the double-layer gear includes a large gear and a small gear, the large gear meshes with the acceleration gear, the number of teeth of the large gear is greater than the number of teeth of the acceleration gear, the small gear meshes with the annular gear, and the double-layer gear is rotatably connected with the cover body. When the operating handle drives the annular rack to move, the annular rack drives the small gear to rotate, and the small gear drives the large gear to rotate, and finally the large gear drives the acceleration gear to rotate. Since the number of teeth of the large gear is greater than the number of teeth of the acceleration gear, according to the speed-increasing principle of gear transmission, this difference in the number of teeth can significantly increase the speed of the acceleration gear. The acceleration gear is closely connected to the piercing member, thereby maximizing the speed of the piercing member. In this way, the piercing member can complete the piercing operation of the floating pickled pepper in a shorter time, greatly improving the work efficiency and reducing the time cost of the pre-treatment of the pickled pepper soaking. At the same time, the higher speed also makes the piercing effect more ideal, and can form small holes on the surface of the pickled pepper more quickly and evenly, promote the penetration of the soaking liquid, and further improve the soaking quality and flavor of the pickled pepper.

[0010] Furthermore, the piercing member comprises a rotating disk, a fixing ring is arranged on the top of the rotating disk, a ratchet ring is arranged on the inner wall of the fixing ring, and a plurality of acupuncture groups are arranged on the bottom of the rotating disk. During the rotation process, the pickled peppers floating on the surface of the soaking liquid can be pierced quickly and over a large area.

[0011] Furthermore, the acupuncture group includes a main acupuncture needle, and a plurality of auxiliary acupuncture needles are arranged around the main acupuncture needle. Such an arrangement is conducive to piercing the pickled peppers floating on the surface.

[0012] Furthermore, the pawl is rotatably connected to the support plate, and a torsion spring is provided on the pawl. When the pawl completes the action of pushing the ratchet and needs to be separated from the ratchet, the elastic force of the torsion spring can automatically reset the pawl. For example, when the handle moves in the opposite direction and the support plate moves in the opposite direction, the pawl separates from the ratchet. At this time, the elastic force of the torsion spring will immediately restore the pawl to its initial position, preparing for the next engagement with the ratchet. This automatic reset function reduces manual intervention and makes the operation of the device more convenient and efficient. At the moment when the pawl engages and separates from the ratchet, a certain impact force will be generated. The elastic characteristics of the torsion spring can play a role in buffering and shock absorption, absorb and alleviate these impact forces, reduce noise and wear caused by impact, protect components such as the pawl and ratchet, and extend the service life of the entire device.

[0013] Furthermore, a reset spring is connected between the handle and the cover body. When the handle moves forward, the spring drives it to automatically reset. After the reset, the operator can continue to move the handle, which reduces labor, makes the entire operation process smoother and more efficient, and significantly improves work efficiency.
