Detailed implementation mode

[0041] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0042] Next, the embodiments of the present invention will be described according to the overall structure of the present invention.

[0043] A device and method for pickled vegetable production and processing, as Figures 1-5 shown, including a device housing 1, a ceramic inner tank 4 is arranged inside the device housing 1, a plurality of liquid leakage holes 13 are opened on the ceramic inner tank 4, an upper cover plate 2 is arranged above the device housing 1, a counterweight 7 is arranged below the upper cover plate 2, a first partition 12 is arranged at the top inside the ceramic inner tank 4 in cooperation with the counterweight 7, and a second partition 18 is arranged at the bottom inside the ceramic inner tank 4. During the actual pickled vegetable production process, the pickled vegetables in the ceramic inner tank 4 are pressed by the counterweight 7 to ensure the flavor of pickled vegetables. The first partition 12 and the second partition 18 are arranged to ensure the uniformity of the downward pressing of the counterweight 7 during the pickling process;

[0044] Further, a connecting rod 17 is arranged at the top of the counterweight 7, the connecting rod 17 passes through the upper cover plate 2, and a clamping device 8 is arranged on the top of the upper cover plate 2 in cooperation with the connecting rod 17. A pair of pickling duration monitoring devices are arranged between the device housing 1 and the ceramic inner tank 4, and a sampling device is arranged inside the device housing 1 in cooperation with the pickling duration monitoring device. During actual use, when the counterweight 7 is pressed down, the liquid in the ceramic inner tank 4 will be squeezed, so that the liquid rises, and then the liquid leaks out from the liquid leakage holes 13. At this time, the liquid can be collected by the sampling device, and the acidity and alkalinity of the liquid can be monitored by the pickling duration monitoring device. By detecting the liquid, the pickling duration of the pickled vegetables can be judged, so as to facilitate the user to adjust the flavor of the pickled vegetables according to the acidity and alkalinity of the pickling liquid;

[0045] Specifically, refer toFigure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , the sampling device includes a filling block 29, the filling block 29 is arranged below the detection mounting plate 6 between the device housing 1 and the ceramic inner liner 4, a squeezing airbag 9 is arranged in a circle inside the ceramic inner liner 4, a pipeline concentration block 19 is arranged at the bottom inside the device housing 1, the pipeline concentration block 19 penetrates through the ceramic inner liner 4, the ceramic inner liner 4 is connected to the pipeline concentration block 19, a communication pipeline 31 is opened at the bottom of the device housing 1, the communication pipeline 31 is connected to the inside of the pipeline concentration block 19, and an air inlet hole 20 is arranged at the closed end of the detection mounting plate 6 in cooperation with the communication pipeline 31. By arranging the filling block 29, when the liquid is squeezed upward and leaks out from the liquid leakage hole 13, it will stay at the same horizontal position as the detection mounting plate 6. Further, the sampling device further includes a sliding bar 21, the sliding bar 21 is slidably arranged inside the detection mounting plate 6, one end of the sliding bar 21 extends outside the detection mounting plate 6, an opening 22 is opened at the other end of the sliding bar 21, and a collection hole 23 is arranged on the upper cover of the detection mounting plate 6 in cooperation with the opening 22. A communication hole 30 is arranged in the mounting groove 11 in cooperation with the opening 22. In this way, during the downward pressing of the counterweight block 7, the squeezing airbag 9 will be squeezed, and at this time, the air inside it will be discharged through the pipelines inside the device. At this time, by connecting the pipeline to the air inlet hole 20, the sliding bar 21 inside the detection mounting plate 6 can be pushed, and then the opening 22 moves, so that the inside of the device housing 1 is communicated with the inside of the detection mounting plate 6;

[0046] Furthermore, referring to Figure 11 , the above-mentioned pickling duration monitoring device includes a detection mounting plate 6, the detection mounting plate 6 is arranged between the device housing 1 and the ceramic inner liner 4, the side of the detection mounting plate 6 away from the ceramic inner liner 4 extends outside the device housing 1, an installation slot 16 is opened on one side of the detection mounting plate 6 outside the device housing 1, a collection hole 23 is opened on the side of the detection mounting plate 6 close to the inside of the ceramic inner liner 4, an installation groove 11 is arranged inside the installation slot 16, and a test paper 5 is arranged inside the installation groove 11. After the inside of the device housing 1 is communicated with the inside of the detection mounting plate 6, the liquid will enter the installation groove 11 and thus come into contact with the test paper 5. At this time, the test paper 5 will present different forms according to the acidity and alkalinity of the liquid;

[0047] Specifically, in the above structure, when the counterweight block 7 presses the pickled vegetables, the hardness of the pickled vegetables will decrease with the pickling time. At this time, the counterweight block 7 will also drop accordingly, thus squeezing the squeezing airbag 9, and thus squeezing the sliding bar 21 to different degrees, so as to control the liquid to enter different installation grooves 11. Thus, at different time periods, the test paper 5 presents different forms, which is convenient for users to observe the state of the pickled vegetables, so as to cut the large pickled vegetables at different time points according to the user's needs, and thus select the flavor of the pickled vegetables.

[0048] Meanwhile, the upper cover plate 2 in the above structure is controlled by a clamping device 8. A sealing ring 3 is arranged around the bottom of the upper cover plate 2 to fit the gap between the device housing 1 and the ceramic inner container 4. During actual use, the sealing ring 3 cooperates with the upper cover plate 2 to ensure the sealing inside the device housing 1, thereby preventing the pickled vegetables from coming into contact with the outside air during the pickling process, which may cause the pickled vegetables to spoil. And through the above structure, it is convenient for users to observe the state of the pickled vegetables, so as to ensure that the pickled vegetables do not come into contact with the outside throughout the process, thereby reducing the risk of spoilage caused by observing the state of the pickled vegetables.

[0049] Reference Figure 10 , a retaining strip 15 is arranged on the ceramic inner container 4 above the filling block 29. When the counterweight 7 descends, the function of the retaining strip 15 is to isolate the space between the device housing 1 and the ceramic inner container 4. When the pickling is completed, the upward movement of the counterweight 7 will scrape the retaining strip 15 to open it, thereby connecting the space inside the device housing 1 and the ceramic inner container 4, so that the liquid squeezed upward by the counterweight 7 flows back into the ceramic inner container 4 for collection. An identification slot 14 is opened on the inner wall of the ceramic inner container 4 below the retaining strip 15 to provide a reference for users and ensure the stable operation of the device.

[0050] Reference Figure 8 、 Figure 9 , the clamping device 8 includes a connecting block 27, the connecting block 27 is connected to a connecting rod 17, and the position of the counterweight 7 is controlled by the clamping device 8. A connecting plate 25 is arranged above the connecting block 27, a connecting head 24 is arranged at the top of the connecting plate 25, and a plurality of limiting card strips 26 are arranged at the bottom of the connecting plate 25. A plurality of limiting grooves 28 are opened on the connecting block 27 to cooperate with the limiting card strips 26. Through such a setting, the connecting head 24 is connected to an external control device, and then the cooperation between the limiting card strips 26 and the limiting grooves 28 is controlled to control the position of the connecting block 27, thereby controlling the position of the counterweight 7.

[0051] Furthermore, a damping ring 10 is arranged on the counterweight 7 to cooperate with the connecting rod 17. During actual use, after the limiting card strip 26 loses control of the connecting block 27, under the action of the counterweight 7, it will move downward. At the same time, through the arranged damping ring 10, resistance is provided for the connecting rod 17, so that the counterweight 7 slowly descends, providing a certain support for the pickled vegetables. Only when the pickled vegetables become soft during pickling will it descend, and correspondingly, the counterweight 7 will also descend accordingly, thereby squeezing the extrusion airbag 9.

[0052] During actual use, place the second partition plate 18 at the inner bottom of the ceramic inner container 4, then place the vegetables to be pickled on the second partition plate 18, and inject the pickling ingredients. At this time, place the upper cover plate 2 together with the counterweight 7 on the device housing 1 through the clamping device 8, so that the counterweight 7 presses the vegetables to ensure the flavor of the pickled vegetables;

[0053] After the pickled vegetables have been pickled for a certain period of time, the vegetables in the ceramic inner container 4 become soft due to pickling, so that the counterweight 7 descends, and then presses the extrusion airbag 9, so that the pickling duration monitoring device cooperates with the sampling device to detect the liquid pH value, and thus control the pickled vegetable flavor according to the pH value.

[0054] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, the specific embodiments are only explanations of the present invention and not limitations thereof. The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
