Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural and sideline food production, in particular to a ham salting device and method for agricultural and sideline food processing. Background Art

[0002] In the field of agricultural and sideline food processing, ham is a traditional and popular meat product, and its curing process is crucial. The traditional method of salting ham is usually to place the pig's hind leg in a simple curing container and manually apply salt to the ham. This method has many inconveniences:

[0003] On the one hand, the pig's hind legs are difficult to turn flexibly during the salting process, and workers need to constantly adjust their position or use tools to apply salt to different parts of the pig's hind legs, which is cumbersome and inefficient. At the same time, due to the fixed position of the pig's hind legs, it is difficult to ensure the uniformity of the salting, which may affect the quality of the cured ham.

[0004] On the other hand, during the pickling process, the pig's hind legs release grease, which falls to the bottom of the pickling container. Traditional pickling containers lack effective cleaning mechanisms. The long-term accumulation of grease not only breeds bacteria, affecting food hygiene and safety, but also emits odors and pollutes the work environment. Moreover, after pickling is completed, cleaning the remaining stains and grease in the container is also very difficult, increasing the labor intensity of the staff.

[0005] Furthermore, during the drying phase after the ham is cured, traditional curing equipment lacks effective protective measures and is easily affected by the external environment. For example, insects such as flies may land on the pig's hind legs, posing a health hazard. Furthermore, impurities such as dust may adhere to the pig's hind legs, affecting the quality of the ham.

[0006] In response to the above problems, the present invention document proposes a ham salting device and method for processing agricultural and sideline foods. Summary of the Invention

[0045] A salting method, applied to the above-mentioned ham salting equipment for agricultural and sideline food processing, comprises the following steps:

[0046] S1. Leg clamping and positioning: Place the pig's hind leg between the fixed splint and the movable splint; rotate the transmission screw to make it move laterally under the action of the threaded transmission with the transmission nut, thereby driving the movable splint to move laterally and cooperate with the fixed splint to clamp the pig's hind leg;

[0047] S2. Leg rotation adjustment and salt application: The drive motor is started to drive the driving gear to rotate; the driving gear drives the connecting shaft to rotate through meshing transmission with the driven gear, thereby rotating the clamping assembly and the pig hind leg thereon, so that salt is evenly applied to the surface of the pig hind leg;

[0048] S3. Install the dustproof net box: After applying salt, place the dustproof net box on the bottom box; insert the clamping plate into the corresponding clamping cover to achieve initial clamping and limiting; rotate the connecting arm to a vertical position; release the movable plate, so that the compression spring pushes the movable plate toward the connecting arm, and the insertion rod passes through the insertion ring to form a clamping fit, thereby stably positioning the dustproof net box and protecting the pig's hind legs;

[0049] S4. Grease cleaning and collection: pour the cleaning liquid into the mixing box; energize the spiral heating wire to heat the cleaning liquid to an appropriate temperature; start the delivery pump to pump the heated cleaning liquid into the dispersion pipe; the cleaning liquid flows into multiple flow pipes through the dispersion pipe and is finally sprayed onto the oleophobic guide plate through the nozzle hole on the nozzle; the grease discharged from the pig's hind legs during the air-drying process falls onto the oleophobic guide plate through the oleophobic mesh plate and slides along its oleophobic layer to the delivery cover; the sprayed cleaning liquid flushes the grease on the oleophobic guide plate, mixes with the grease, and enters the delivery pipe through the oil drain pipe; connect the external pipe to the grease delivery pipeline to discharge the collected mixed liquid.

[0050] It should be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary only and are not restrictive of the invention.

[0051] Beneficial effects: In the present invention, the clamping mechanism is provided, and after the pig's hind leg is clamped and positioned by the clamping assembly, the driving gear can be driven to rotate by starting the driving motor. At this time, under the meshing transmission action with the driven gear, the connecting shaft can be driven to rotate, and the pig's hind leg can be rotationally adjusted by the clamping assembly, so that when the pig's hind leg is coated with salt, the position of the pig's hind leg can be rotationally adjusted, so that good convenience can be provided when the pig's hind leg is pickled;

[0052] In the present invention, the flushing mechanism can be provided so that after the cleaning liquid is injected into the conveying assembly, the cleaning liquid can be pumped into the dispersion pipe. The cleaning liquid flowing into the dispersion pipe can be dispersed and flowed into multiple flow pipes, and finally can be sprayed out through the spray holes on the spray pipe, thereby being able to disperse and transport the cleaning liquid into the bottom box so as to flush the sewage discharge mechanism.

[0053] In the present invention, through the sewage discharge mechanism, a certain amount of grease will be discharged from the pig hind legs during the air-drying process, and will fall onto the grease-repellent guide plate through the oleophobic mesh plate. The oleophobic guide plate is provided with an oleophobic layer. Therefore, the grease can slide into the conveying cover through the oleophobic guide plate, and the cleaning liquid can also be transported to the oleophobic guide plate to flush the grease, and then enter the conveying pipe through the oil drain pipe. At this time, after the grease conveying pipe is connected to the external pipe, the collected grease can be discharged conveniently, so as to prevent the grease from falling everywhere during the production of the ham.

[0054] The present invention can facilitate the adjustment and rotation of the clamped pig's hind legs during the process of preparing ham, so that salt can be conveniently applied to the pig's hind legs. In the process of pickling and drying the ham, the pig's hind legs can be protected to avoid contamination of the pig's hind legs, which will not affect the quality. At the same time, the discharged grease can be conveniently cleaned, so the overall device is very convenient when pickling ham. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, 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 cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0069] In one embodiment: refer to Figure 1-10 A pickling device includes multiple pickling boxes, each of which includes a base box 1. A rectangular frame 27 is welded or bolted to the inside of the base box 1. An oleophobic mesh 28 is placed within the frame 27 and can be removed for cleaning. A side panel 2 is welded to one side of the base box 1. A dustproof mesh box 3 is attached to one side of the side panel 2. The bottom of the dustproof mesh box 3 engages with the top opening of the base box 1.

[0070] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, a clamping mechanism for clamping the pig's hind legs is provided on one side of the side panel 2. The clamping mechanism includes a bracket 15 fixed to one side of the side panel 2 by welding, and a drive motor 16 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the bracket 15 by bolts. The output shaft of the drive motor 16 extends above the bracket 15 and is fixedly mounted with a driving gear 17 by a key connection. A support ring 34 located on one side of the drive motor 16 is also fixedly mounted on the bracket 15. A connecting shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the support ring 34. A driven gear 19 located above the support ring 34 is fixedly mounted on the connecting shaft 18 by a key connection. The driving gear 17 meshes with the driven gear 19. A clamping assembly is mounted on the bottom end of the connecting shaft 18. The clamping assembly includes a fixing plate 20 fixed to the bottom end of the connecting shaft 18 by welding, a first mounting plate 21 is welded to one side of the bottom of the fixing plate 20, and a fixing clamp 22 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of one side of the first mounting plate 21 by bolts. The bottom other side of fixed plate 20 is fixedly installed with second mounting plate 23 by bolts, and on the second mounting plate 23, runs through and is slidably connected with mobile clamping plate 24, and mobile clamping plate 24 cooperates with fixed clamping plate 22, for clamping pig hind leg. One side of second mounting plate 23 is fixedly installed with transmission nut 25 by bolts, and in transmission nut 25, runs through and is threadedly connected with transmission screw 26, and the two ends of transmission screw 26 extend respectively to a side that the second mounting plate 23 and transmission nut 25 are away from each other, and transmission screw 26 is connected with the top of mobile clamping plate 24 by bearing rotation.

[0071] like Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, a clamping plate 5 is welded to the inner walls of both sides of the dustproof net box 3. Four clamping covers 4 are symmetrically welded to one side of the side panel 2. One side of the clamping plate 5 extends into the corresponding clamping cover 4 and is clamped to the inner wall of the clamping cover 4. When the pig hind legs need to be hung to air-dry, the dustproof net box 3 can be placed on the bottom box 1, and the clamping of the clamping plate 5 and the clamping cover 4 can initially limit the position of the dustproof net box 3. A mounting frame 6 is welded to the dustproof net box 3. Electrostatic screen panels 7 (using low-voltage current) are fixed to the mounting frame 6 at equal intervals by bolts. When the electrostatic screen panels 7 are energized, an electrostatic field is generated, which can electrostatically adsorb dust. At the same time, the electrical energy of the electrostatic screen 7 can kill insects such as mosquitoes and flies passing through the dustproof net box 3. Two connecting arms 13 are symmetrically connected to the bottom of one side of the dustproof net box 3 via a rotating shaft. A plug ring 14 is fixed to the bottom of one side of the connecting arm 13 by welding. Two support frames 8 are symmetrically mounted on the top of one side of the bottom box 1 through welding. A limiting rod 9 is fixedly mounted inside the support frame 8 through welding. A movable plate 10 is slidably mounted on the limiting rod 9 and is slidably connected to the support frame 8. An insertion rod 12 is fixedly mounted on the top of one side of the movable plate 10 through welding. The insertion rod 12 passes through and is plugged into the insertion ring 14. A compression spring 11 is mounted on the limiting rod 9. The two ends of the compression spring 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the support frame 8 and the other side of the movable plate 10 through bolts. After the dustproof net box 3 is clamped onto the bottom box 1, the connecting arm 13 is rotated to a vertical position, and then the movable plate 10 is released. The compressed spring 11, which is in a stressed state, pushes the movable plate 10 toward the connecting arm 13, allowing the insertion rod 12 to pass through the insertion ring 14, forming a clamping fit with the insertion ring 14, thereby achieving stable positioning of the dustproof net box 3 and using the dustproof net box 3 to protect the pig's hind legs.

[0072] like Figure 1 and Figure 10As shown, the pickling equipment also includes a flushing mechanism (which is timed to activate) located on one side of the pickling tank. This flushing mechanism comprises a conveying assembly, which is equipped with a dispersion pipe 37. Multiple flow pipes 35 are welded to the inner wall of one side of the dispersion pipe 37 at equal intervals. One end of the flow pipe 35 extends into the corresponding bottom tank 1 and is welded to a nozzle 36. Multiple nozzle holes are formed on the inner wall of one side of the nozzle 36 at equal intervals. The conveying assembly comprises a mixing tank 38. A liquid inlet pipe 39 is welded through the inner wall of one side of the top of the mixing tank 38. A delivery pump 40 is bolted to the top of the mixing tank 38.

A spiral heating wire 42 is bolted to the mixing tank 38 (along with a PT100 temperature sensor, controlled by a PLC, that works with the spiral heating wire 42). After the prepared cleaning liquid is poured into the mixing box 38, the spiral heating wire 42 is energized to heat the cleaning liquid to a suitable temperature. Then, the cleaning liquid is extracted by starting the delivery pump 40 and pumped into the dispersion pipe 37. The cleaning liquid flowing into the dispersion pipe 37 is dispersed into multiple flow pipes 35 and finally sprayed out through the nozzle holes on the nozzle 36 to disperse the cleaning liquid into the bottom box 1 for flushing.

[0073] This application can be used in the field of agricultural and sideline food production technology, and can also be used in other fields applicable to this application.

[0074] In another embodiment: Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 10 Improved on the basis of Example 1: A ham salting device for agricultural and sideline food processing, applied to the field of agricultural and sideline food production technology, the salting device also includes a drainage mechanism, which includes oil-repellent guide plates 29 fixedly mounted in multiple bottom boxes 1 by welding. A conveying cover 30 is fixedly mounted on one side of the oil-repellent guide plates 29 by welding, and one side of the conveying cover 30 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the bottom box 1 by welding. An oil drain pipe 31 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of one side of the conveying cover 30 by welding, and one end of the oil drain pipe 31 extends to the outside of the bottom box 1. One end of each of the multiple oil drain pipes 31 is fixedly connected to a common conveying pipe 32 by welding, and one end of the conveying pipe 32 is fixedly mounted by welding to an external pipe 33. During the drying process of the pig's hind legs, a certain amount of grease will be discharged through the oleophobic mesh plate 28 and fall onto the oleophobic guide plate 29. The oleophobic guide plate 29 is provided with an oleophobic layer. The grease slides through the oleophobic guide plate 29 into the conveying cover 30. The cleaning liquid is also transported to the oleophobic guide plate 29 to flush the grease. Then, it enters the conveying pipe 32 through the oil drain pipe 31. After the grease conveying pipe is connected to the external pipe 33, the collected grease is discharged to prevent the grease from falling everywhere.

[0075] The present invention provides a salting method, which is applied to the above-mentioned ham salting equipment for agricultural and sideline food processing, comprising the following steps:

[0076] S1. First, the foot of the pig's hind leg is placed between the fixed splint 22 and the movable splint 24. Then, by rotating the transmission screw 26 (the surface of which can be plated with safe and non-toxic metal), the transmission screw 26 can be driven to move laterally under the threaded transmission effect with the transmission nut 25, thereby driving the movable splint 24 to move laterally, so that the pig's hind leg can be clamped and positioned in cooperation with the fixed splint 22.

[0077] S2, by starting the driving motor 16 to drive the driving gear 17 to rotate, at this time, under the meshing transmission effect with the driven gear 19, the connecting shaft 18 can be driven to rotate, and the pig hind leg can be rotationally adjusted by the clamping assembly, so that when the pig hind leg is coated with salt, the position of the pig hind leg can be conveniently rotated and adjusted, so that when the pig hind leg is pickled, good convenience can be provided;

[0078] After the clamping plate 5 is inserted into the corresponding clamping cover 4, the clamping plate 5 and the clamping cover 4 are clamped together to prevent the dustproof net box 3 from having a gap with the side plate 2. Then, the connecting arm 13 is rotated to a vertical state, and the movable plate 10 can be released. At this time, the compression spring 11 in the stressed state can push the movable plate 10 to move closer to the connecting arm 13, so that the insertion rod 12 can pass through the insertion ring 14 to form a clamping fit relationship with the insertion ring 14, thereby achieving stable positioning of the dustproof net box 3, and the dustproof net box 3 can be used to protect the pig's hind legs.

[0079] S4. After the prepared cleaning liquid is poured into the mixing box 38, the spiral heating wire 42 is energized to heat the cleaning liquid until the cleaning liquid is heated to an appropriate temperature. Then, the cleaning liquid is extracted by starting the delivery pump 40 and pumped into the dispersion pipe 37. The cleaning liquid flowing into the dispersion pipe 37 can be dispersed and flow into multiple flow pipes 35, and finally can be sprayed out through the nozzle holes on the nozzle 36 and fall on the grease-repelling guide plate 29. Therefore, during the air-drying process of the pig hind legs, a certain amount of grease will be discharged through the grease-repelling mesh plate 28 and fall on the grease-repelling guide plate 29. The grease-repelling guide plate 29 is provided with an oleophobic layer. Therefore, the grease can slide through the grease-repelling guide plate 29 into the delivery cover 30, and the cleaning liquid can also be delivered to the grease-repelling guide plate 29 to flush the grease. Then, it can enter the delivery pipe 32 through the oil drain pipe 31. At this time, after the grease delivery pipeline is connected to the external pipe 33, the collected grease can be discharged conveniently, so as to prevent grease from falling everywhere during the ham making process.

[0080] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the drive motor 16, the delivery pump 40 and the spiral heating wire 42 are commonplace, and are all conventional means or common knowledge, and will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0081] The drawings in this application are for illustrative purposes only. The sizes and shapes of the components shown are not intended to be limiting, but are merely for illustrative purposes. In actual implementation, the components may be appropriately configured and adjusted based on specific needs and actual conditions.

[0082] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
