Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pickled vegetable processing equipment technology, specifically to a pickled vegetable pickling device and method. Background Technology
[0002] In the pickling process, the pickled vegetables need to be removed from the pickling vat after pickling, a process called "removing from the vat." Traditionally, this is done manually. Workers enter the vat and use tools such as shovels and forks to scoop the vegetables out and then transfer them to transport equipment. This manual method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but the presence of corrosive liquids in the vat can also cause skin damage to workers with prolonged contact.
[0003] To improve pool lifting efficiency and reduce labor intensity, some simple pool lifting equipment has appeared on the market, such as using a crane in conjunction with a grab bucket. However, these types of equipment have the following problems during use: (1) The gripping force of the grab bucket is difficult to control, which can easily crush the pickled vegetables, affecting their quality. The pickled vegetables in the corners of the pickling tank are difficult to remove cleanly, resulting in residue and waste. (2) Most of the existing pickling equipment does not have a dehydration function, and the pickled vegetables produced have a high water content, which requires further dehydration treatment, increasing the processing steps and costs; (3) When pickled vegetables are left to stand in the pickling tank, the salt content is easily uneven due to gravity settling or adsorption by the pickled vegetables. For example, the salinity of the brine at the bottom of the tank is too high and that of the upper layer is too low. If the salinity of the area to be picked up is large when the pickled vegetables are taken out of the tank, it will lead to inconsistent taste of the pickled vegetables. To address this problem, we propose a pickling tank removal device and method. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a pickling tank removal device and method, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

A square frame is fixed to the opposite side of each of the two horizontal plates. A lead screw is rotatably connected between the inner walls of each of the two square frames. A lifting seat is slidably connected between the inner walls of the two square frames. One end of the lead screw passes through the lifting seat and extends to the outside of the lifting seat, with the outer surface of the lead screw threadedly connected to the inner surface of the lifting seat.

A worm wheel is fixed on each of the two lead screws. The two worm gears mesh with the worm wheels.
[0007] Preferably, a vibration assembly is provided below the filter screen. The vibration assembly is used to strike the filter screen to make it vibrate, accelerate the discharge of brine in the filter screen, and accelerate the removal of pickled vegetables after the filter screen is rotated 90 degrees. The vibration assembly includes a vertical plate fixed to the bottom of the U-shaped plate. A rotating wheel is rotatably connected to one side of the vertical plate. The rotating wheel has a curved groove. A side plate is fixed to one side of the vertical plate. A connecting block is fixed to one side of the side plate. A swing arm is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting block through a central shaft.
[0008] Preferably, one end of the swing arm is fixed with a protruding post, one end of which extends into the inside of the curved groove and slides in the curved groove. The other end of the swing arm is fixed with a striking ball, the top of which contacts the bottom of the filter screen. A second motor is fixed to one side of the U-shaped plate. Pulleys are fixed to the output end of the second motor and the drive shaft of the rotating wheel. The two pulleys are connected by belt drive.
[0009] Preferably, the swing arm is equipped with an accelerating flow component, which is used to raise and lower the brine level in the pickling tank to accelerate the flow of the brine. The accelerating flow component includes an L-shaped block fixed to one side of the connecting block, a dovetail seat fixed to one end of the L-shaped block, a dovetail block slidably connected inside the dovetail seat, a swing rod rotatably connected to one side of the dovetail block, a square block fixed to one side of the swing arm, one end of the swing rod rotatably connected to one side of the square block, a fixing rod fixed to one side of the dovetail block, and an airbag fixed to the bottom end of the fixing rod.
[0010] Preferably, the filter screen is provided with a dehydration component for dehydrating the pickled vegetables in the filter screen. The dehydration component includes four upright blocks fixed to the top of the filter screen, wherein a screw is rotatably connected between two of the upright blocks, and a crossbar is rotatably connected between the other two upright blocks. A motor is fixed to one side of each upright block, and the output end of the motor is fixed to one end of the screw via a coupling. A threaded seat is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the screw, and a slide block is slidably connected to the crossbar. A fixing plate is fixed to the bottom of both the threaded seat and the slide block, and a pressure roller is rotatably connected between the opposite sides of the two fixing plates.
[0011] Preferably, an L-shaped frame is fixed to one side of the pickling tank, a cylinder is fixed to one side of the L-shaped frame, a base plate is fixed to the output end of the cylinder, a receiving plate is fixed to the top of the base plate, and the bottom of the receiving plate is slidably connected to the top of the pickling tank.
[0012] This invention also discloses a method for removing pickled vegetables from a pickling vat, specifically including the following steps: Step 1: Place the vegetables to be pickled in the filter screen. Pour brine into the pickling tank. The filter screen remains still in the brine while the vegetables are pickled. After pickling, start motor 1. Motor 1 drives two worm gears to rotate, which in turn drives two worm wheels to rotate. The worm wheels drive two lead screws to rotate synchronously. When the lead screws rotate, they drive two lifting seats to rise. The lifting seats drive the U-shaped plate, the notched gear, and the filter screen to rise synchronously. When the notched gear rises to mesh with the teeth on the gear plate, the notched gear rotates 90 degrees, which in turn drives the U-shaped plate and the filter screen to rotate 90 degrees synchronously. At this time, the cylinder is started. The cylinder pushes the receiving plate to contact the bottom of the flipped filter screen. At this time, the pickled vegetables on the filter screen fall onto the receiving plate, realizing the discharge of the pickling tank. Step 2: During the process of raising the filter screen, start motor 3. Motor 3 drives the screw to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded seat to move horizontally, which in turn drives the pressure roller to roll and press the pickled vegetables, expelling excess water from the pickled vegetables. Start motor 2. Motor 2 drives the rotating wheel to rotate. When the rotating wheel rotates, the protrusion slides in the curved groove, which in turn drives the swing arm to swing back and forth around the central axis. The swing arm drives the striking ball to strike the bottom of the filter screen, causing the filter screen to vibrate. This not only accelerates the rapid discharge of brine from the filter screen, but also, after the filter screen is flipped up and stood up, the vibration can shake off the pickled vegetables stuck to the filter screen. Step 3: When the swing arm swings, it simultaneously drives the swing rod to swing. The swing rod drives the dovetail block to slide up and down in the dovetail seat, which in turn drives the airbag to move in and out of the brine. When the airbag enters the brine, it causes the brine level to rise. When the airbag leaves the brine, the brine level drops. This cycle can accelerate the flow of brine. Beneficial effects
[0013] This invention provides a device and method for removing pickled vegetables from a pickling tank. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: (1) By setting up the pool lifting and flipping mechanism, the filter screen and the pickled vegetables in the filter screen are automatically lifted and lifted out of the pool, and the filter screen is flipped 90 degrees to a vertical state, which makes it convenient to pour out the pickled vegetables. Compared with the traditional manual pool lifting and grab bucket method, the pool lifting method of the present invention will not break the pickled vegetables, thus maintaining the integrity and quality of the pickled vegetables. At the same time, the pickled vegetables are placed in the filter screen for pickling, instead of being placed directly in the pickling pool, which can avoid the generation of pickled vegetable residue at the corners of the pickling pool and avoid waste.
[0014] (2) By setting up the dehydration component, the excess water in the pickled vegetables is squeezed out by the back and forth rolling of the pressure roller. By setting up the vibration component, the filter screen is continuously struck by the striking ball, which can accelerate the discharge of water in the filter screen through the filter holes, further reducing the absorption of water by the pickled vegetables. There is no need for subsequent dehydration process, which reduces the processing steps and costs. At the same time, the striking ball strikes the filter screen after it is turned over, which can cause the pickled vegetables adhering to the filter screen to fall off by vibration, thus improving the output efficiency of the pickled vegetables.
[0015] (3) By setting up the flow acceleration component and linking it with the vibration component, when the swing arm is working, it can drive the airbag to move up and down synchronously, so that the airbag squeezes the brine up and down repeatedly, thereby increasing the flow speed of the brine. The airbag drives the brine to flow, which can promote the circulation and mixing of brine in the pool, so that the salinity of different areas can quickly become uniform, avoiding the pickling vegetables being too salty due to excessive local salinity, or too salty due to insufficient local salinity, which affects the flavor. At the same time, the flowing brine can reduce the "salt crystal precipitation" on the surface of the pickling vegetables, prevent salt crystals from adhering to the pickling vegetables and affecting the taste, and ensure the uniformity of the quality of batch pickling vegetables.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] The present invention provides three technical solutions, specifically including the following embodiments: Example
[0020] Please see Figures 1-4A pickling device includes a base 1, with two support plates 2 fixed to the top of the base 1. The support plates 2 support a pickling tank 3, and the pickling tank 3 is fixed between the tops of the two support plates 2. The pickling tank 3 is filled with brine. A filter screen 4 is installed inside the pickling tank 3, and the filter screen 4 has multiple filter holes. After the vegetables are placed in the filter screen 4, the filter screen 4 is immersed in the brine to pickle the vegetables. An inclined seat 5 is fixed inside the filter screen 4. When the filter screen 4 is rotated 90 degrees and stood upright, the inclined seat 5 facilitates the vegetables to slide off the inclined surface of the pickling inclined seat 5. An L-shaped frame 11 is fixed to one side of the pickling tank 3. A cylinder 12 is fixed to the side. The cylinder 12 is controlled by an external switch and is electrically connected to an external power source. A base plate 13 is fixed to the output end of the cylinder 12. A receiving plate 14 is fixed to the top of the base plate 13. The bottom of the receiving plate 14 is slidably connected to the top of the pickling tank 3. After the cylinder 12 is started, it can drive the receiving plate 14 to slide to the bottom of the flipped and upright filter screen 4. The receiving plate 14 is used to catch the pickled vegetables that are discharged. A tank lifting and flipping mechanism 6 is provided between the top of the base 1 and the filter screen 4. The tank lifting and flipping mechanism 6 is used to lift the pickled vegetables in the filter screen 4 and flip the filter screen 4 90 degrees so that the pickled vegetables in the filter screen 4 are poured out. The pickling tank tilting mechanism 6 includes horizontal plates 61 fixed on both sides of the pickling tank 3. A square frame 62 is fixed to the opposite side of each horizontal plate 61. A lead screw 63 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of each square frame 62. A lifting seat 64 is slidably connected between the inner walls of each square frame 62. One end of the lead screw 63 passes through the lifting seat 64 and extends to the outside of the lifting seat 64, with the outer surface of the lead screw 63 threadedly connected to the inner surface of the lifting seat 64. U-shaped plates 66 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of each lifting seat 64 via a rotating shaft 65. One side of each U-shaped plate 66 is connected to a filter screen. One side of the filter screen 4 is fixed, and a missing gear 67 is fixed on one of the rotating shafts 65. An L-shaped plate 68 is fixed on one side of one of the square frames 62, and a toothed plate 69 is fixed on one side of the L-shaped plate 68. The toothed plate 69 has teeth on one side. The missing gear 67 meshes with the teeth on the toothed plate 69. After the missing gear 67 rises to mesh with the teeth on the toothed plate 69, it will rotate 90 degrees clockwise when it reaches the teeth on the toothed plate 69, thereby causing the filter screen 4 to flip 90 degrees to the upright position. The base 1 is also equipped with a drive assembly 7 that drives the two lead screws 63 to rotate synchronously.
[0021] The drive assembly 7 includes two mounting bases 71 fixed to the top of the base 1. A worm gear 72 is rotatably connected to one side of each mounting base 71. A drive shaft 73 is fixed between the opposite ends of the two worm gears 72. The drive shaft 73 ensures that the two worm gears 72 rotate synchronously. A motor 74 is fixed to one side of one of the mounting bases 71. The motor 74 is a three-phase asynchronous motor that can rotate in both directions. It is controlled by an external switch and electrically connected to an external power supply. The motor 74 drives the worm gear 72 to rotate. The bottom ends of the two lead screws 63 pass through the square frame 62 and extend to the outside of the square frame 62. The two lead screws 63 rotate on the top of the base 1. A worm wheel 75 is fixed on each of the two lead screws 63. The two worm gears 72 mesh with the worm wheel 75.
[0022] By setting up the pool lifting and flipping mechanism 6, the filter screen 4 and the pickled vegetables in the filter screen 4 are automatically lifted and lifted out of the pool, and the filter screen 4 is flipped 90 degrees to a vertical position, which facilitates the pouring out of the pickled vegetables. Compared with the traditional manual pool lifting and grab bucket method, the pool lifting method of the present invention will not break the pickled vegetables, thus maintaining the integrity and quality of the pickled vegetables. At the same time, the pickled vegetables are pickled in the filter screen 4 instead of being placed directly in the pickling pool 3, which can avoid the formation of pickled vegetable residue in the corners of the pickling pool 3 and avoid waste. Example
[0023] Based on Example 1, see Figures 5-8 As shown, a vibration assembly 8 is provided below the filter screen 4. The vibration assembly 8 is used to strike the filter screen 4 to make it vibrate, accelerate the discharge of brine in the filter screen, and accelerate the removal of pickled vegetables after the filter screen 4 is rotated 90 degrees. The vibration assembly 8 includes a vertical plate 81 fixed to the bottom of the U-shaped plate 66. A rotating wheel 82 is rotatably connected to one side of the vertical plate 81. A curved groove 83 is provided on the rotating wheel 82. The curved groove 83 allows the swing arm 87 to swing back and forth. A side plate 84 is fixed to one side of the vertical plate 81. A connecting block 85 is fixed to one side of the side plate 84. The swing arm 87 is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting block 85 through the central shaft 86.
[0024] One end of the swing arm 87 is fixed with a protrusion 88, one end of which extends into the interior of the curved groove 83 and slides within the groove 83. The other end of the swing arm 87 is fixed with a striking ball 89, which is made of hard rubber and can strike the bottom of the filter screen 4. The top of the striking ball 89 contacts the bottom of the filter screen 4. A second motor 810 is fixed to one side of the U-shaped plate 66. The second motor 810 is controlled by an external switch and electrically connected to an external power supply. The output end of the second motor 810 and the rotating wheel... Each drive shaft of 82 is fixed with a pulley 811, and the two pulleys 811 are connected by a belt 812. The belt 812 is made of fluororubber, which has the characteristics of strong corrosion resistance, salt water resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and aging resistance. It does not swell or crack when immersed in salt water for a long time. The pulley 811 is made of 316L stainless steel, which contains molybdenum. Its salt water corrosion resistance is far superior to that of ordinary 304 stainless steel, which can effectively prevent belt slippage caused by rust on the wheel body and corrosion of the wheel groove.
[0025] An accelerating flow component 9 is installed on the swing arm 87. This component raises and lowers the brine level in the pickling tank 3, accelerating the flow of the brine. The accelerating flow component 9 includes an L-shaped block 91 fixed to one side of the connecting block 85. A dovetail seat 92 is fixed to one end of the L-shaped block 91. A dovetail block 93 is slidably connected inside the dovetail seat 92, and the size of the dovetail block 93 matches that of the dovetail seat 92. A swing rod 94 is rotatably connected to one side of the dovetail block 93. A square block 95 is fixed to one side of the swing arm 87. One end of the swing rod 94 is rotatably connected to one side of the square block 95. A fixing rod 96 is fixed to one side of the dovetail block 93. An airbag 97 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed rod 96. The airbag 97 is a food-grade perfluoroether rubber airbag. Perfluoroether rubber can withstand high temperatures below 200°C and is completely resistant to organic acids (such as lactic acid and acetic acid) that may be generated during the brine and pickling process. It does not age or leak and meets food contact safety standards. The airbag 97 is connected to an external air pump through an air tube. The size of the airbag 97 can be controlled by the amount of air intake. When the airbag 97 moves up and down in the brine, it can increase the flow rate of the brine. At the same time, by changing the size of the airbag 97, the brine level can be controlled, and the brine flow rate can be further controlled.
[0026] The components in the accelerated flow assembly 9 and the knocking assembly 8 that come into contact with the brine are coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating. The PTFE coating is smooth and non-stick, making it difficult for brine and pickled vegetable residue to adhere, and it is also highly corrosion resistant.
[0027] By accelerating the flow of the component 9 and linking it with the vibration component 8, when the swing arm 87 is working, it can synchronously drive the airbag 97 to move up and down, causing the airbag 97 to repeatedly squeeze the brine, thereby increasing the flow speed of the brine. The airbag 97 drives the brine to flow, which can promote the circulation and mixing of brine in the pool, allowing the salinity of different areas to quickly become uniform. This avoids the pickles from being too salty due to excessively high local salinity, or too salty due to excessively low salinity, which would affect the flavor. At the same time, the flowing brine can reduce the precipitation of salt crystals on the surface of the pickles, preventing salt crystals from adhering to the pickles and affecting the taste, and ensuring the uniformity of the quality of batch pickles.
[0028] A dehydration assembly 10 is provided on the filter screen 4. The dehydration assembly 10 is used to dehydrate the pickled vegetables in the filter screen 4. The dehydration assembly 10 includes four upright blocks 101 fixed to the top of the filter screen 4. A screw 102 is rotatably connected between two upright blocks 101, and a crossbar 103 is rotatably connected between the other two upright blocks 101. A motor 104 is fixed to one side of the upright blocks 101. The motor 104 is a three-phase asynchronous motor that can rotate in both directions. It is controlled by an external switch and electrically connected to an external power supply. The output end of the motor 104 is fixed to one end of the screw 102 through a coupling. A threaded seat 105 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the screw 102. A slide block 106 is slidably connected to the crossbar 103. A fixing plate 107 is fixed to the bottom of both the threaded seat 105 and the slide block 106. A pressure roller 108 is rotatably connected between the opposite sides of the two fixing plates 107. The pressure roller 108 is made of hard rubber material and can press out excess water from the pickled vegetables.
[0029] By setting up the dehydration component 10, the pressure roller 108 rolls back and forth to press out excess water from the pickled vegetables. By setting up the vibration component 8, the vibration ball 89 continuously beats the filter screen 4, which can accelerate the discharge of water from the filter screen 4 through the filter holes, further reducing the absorption of water by the pickled vegetables. There is no need for subsequent dehydration treatment, which reduces processing steps and costs. At the same time, the vibration ball 89 beats the overturned filter screen 4, which can cause the pickled vegetables adhering to the filter screen 4 to fall off by vibration, improving the output efficiency of the pickled vegetables. Example
[0030] Based on Example 2, see Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention also discloses a method for removing pickled vegetables from a pickling tank, specifically including the following steps: Step 1: Place the vegetables to be pickled in the filter screen 4. Pour brine into the pickling tank 3. The filter screen 4 remains still in the brine while the vegetables are pickled. After pickling, start the motor 74. The motor 74 drives the two worm gears 72 to rotate. The worm gears 72 drive the two worm wheels 75 to rotate. The worm wheels 75 drive the two lead screws 63 to rotate synchronously. When the lead screws 63 rotate, they drive the two lifting seats 64 to rise. The lifting seats 64 drive the U-shaped plate 66, the missing gear 67, and the filter screen 4 to rise synchronously. When the missing gear 67 rises to mesh with the teeth on the toothed plate 69, the missing gear 67 rotates 90 degrees, which in turn drives the U-shaped plate 66 and the filter screen 4 to rotate 90 degrees synchronously. At this time, start the cylinder 12. The cylinder 12 pushes the receiving plate 14 to contact the bottom of the flipped filter screen 4. At this time, the pickled vegetables on the filter screen 4 fall onto the receiving plate 14 to achieve the discharge of the pickling from the tank. Step 2: During the process of removing the filter screen 4 from the pool, start motor 3 104. Motor 3 104 drives screw 102 to rotate, which in turn drives threaded seat 105 to move horizontally, which in turn drives pressure roller 108 to roll and press the pickled vegetables, expelling excess water from the pickled vegetables. Start motor 2 810. Motor 2 810 drives wheel 82 to rotate. When wheel 82 rotates, protrusion 88 slides in curved groove 83, which in turn drives swing arm 87 to swing back and forth around central axis 86. Swing arm 87 drives striking ball 89 to strike the bottom of filter screen 4, causing filter screen 4 to vibrate. This not only accelerates the rapid discharge of brine from filter screen 4, but also, after filter screen 4 is flipped and erected, the vibration can shake off the pickled vegetables adhering to filter screen 4. Step 3: When the swing arm 87 swings, it synchronously drives the swing rod 94 to swing. The swing rod 94 drives the dovetail block 93 to slide up and down in the dovetail seat 92, which in turn drives the airbag 97 to move in and out of the brine. When the airbag 97 enters the brine, it can cause the brine level to rise. When the airbag 97 leaves the brine, the brine level drops. This cycle can accelerate the flow of brine.

8. A method for removing pickled vegetables from a pickling tank, characterized in that: Specifically, the following steps are included: Step 1: Place the vegetables to be pickled in the filter screen (4), pour brine into the pickling tank (3), let the filter screen (4) sit in the brine and pickle the vegetables. After pickling, start motor 1 (74). Motor 1 (74) drives two worm gears (72) to rotate. The worm gears (72) drive two worm wheels (75) to rotate. The worm wheels (75) drive two lead screws (63) to rotate synchronously. Then, when the lead screws (63) rotate, they drive two lifting seats (64) to rise. The lifting seats (64) The U-shaped plate (66), the missing gear (67), and the filter screen (4) rise synchronously. When the missing gear (67) rises to mesh with the teeth on the toothed plate (69), the missing gear (67) rotates 90 degrees, thereby driving the U-shaped plate (66) and the filter screen (4) to rotate 90 degrees synchronously. At this time, the cylinder (12) is started, and the cylinder (12) pushes the receiving plate (14) to contact the bottom of the flipped filter screen (4). At this time, the pickled vegetables on the filter screen (4) fall onto the receiving plate (14) to achieve the discharge of the filter screen. Step 2: During the process of removing the filter screen (4) from the pool, start motor 3 (104). Motor 3 (104) drives screw (102) to rotate, which in turn drives threaded seat (105) to move horizontally, which in turn drives pressure roller (108) to roll and press the pickled vegetables, thus removing excess water from the pickled vegetables. Start motor 2 (810). Motor 2 (810) drives wheel (82) to rotate. When wheel (82) rotates, protrusion (88) slides in groove (83), which in turn drives swing arm (87) to swing back and forth around central axis (86). Swing arm (87) drives striking ball (89) to strike the bottom of filter screen (4), causing filter screen (4) to vibrate. This not only accelerates the rapid discharge of brine from filter screen (4), but also, after filter screen (4) is flipped and erected, the vibration can shake off the pickled vegetables stuck to filter screen (4). Step 3: When the swing arm (87) swings, it synchronously drives the swing rod (94) to swing. The swing rod (94) drives the dovetail block (93) to slide up and down in the dovetail seat (92), which in turn drives the airbag (97) to move in and out of the salt water. After the airbag (97) enters the salt water, it can make the salt water level rise. After the airbag (97) leaves the salt water, the salt water level drops. This cycle can accelerate the flow of salt water.
