Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of marinating and processing, and in particular to a tumbling and marinating machine for meat products. Background Technology

[0002] In the meat processing industry, marinating is a crucial step. It aims to improve the color, flavor, texture, and water retention of the product through the penetration and action of salt, phosphates, seasonings, and functional additives. Traditional marinating mainly relies on static soaking or tumbling. Tumbling marinating uses a rotating drum to make the meat pieces tumble and collide under gravity, promoting the penetration of the marinade and extracting salt-soluble proteins to form adhesiveness. However, existing technologies generally adopt a passive kneading mode, which relies solely on the material's own gravity and the limited collisions between the drum wall and the materials to generate force. This method has low mechanical strength and uneven distribution, resulting in slow penetration of the marinade and insufficient destruction of muscle fibers. It also has technical bottlenecks such as long marinating cycles, uneven flavoring, and limited improvement in yield and tenderness. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a meat product processing tumbling and marinating machine, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0004] The present invention provides a meat product processing tumbling and marinating machine, comprising a horizontally arranged rotating drum and a support cover parallel to the rotating drum and located inside the rotating drum. A plurality of side push plates are provided on the outer circumferential wall of the rotating drum, and the side push plates are slidably arranged on the rotating drum along the radial direction of the rotating drum. The side push plates are connected to the rotating drum by a plurality of elastic bodies.

[0005] The bottom surface of the support cover is slidably provided with a movable body along the radial direction of the rotating cylinder. The outer wall of the movable body is an arc surface, and the arc surface is coaxially arranged with the rotating cylinder. Several rolling columns are provided on the arc surface.

[0006] The top surface of the support cover is inclined, and the movable body is connected to the support cover by a number of elastic bodies.

[0007] Furthermore, along the axis of the rotating drum, both ends of the movable body are provided with guide surfaces, and each of the side push plates is provided with rollers that cooperate with the guide surfaces.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of baffles are arranged on the top surface of the support cover along the width direction of the support cover. The baffles are slidably mounted on the support cover in a direction perpendicular to the top surface of the support cover, and adjacent baffles move alternately.

[0009] Furthermore, a drive unit for providing power for the movement of each of the baffles is provided inside the support cover;

[0010] The drive unit includes a motor installed inside the support cover, a rotating shaft located at the output end of the motor, and a plurality of eccentric wheels mounted on the rotating shaft. The eccentric wheels are eccentrically mounted on the rotating shaft, and the eccentric directions of adjacent eccentric wheels are opposite. An eccentric sleeve is rotatably fitted on the outer wall of each eccentric wheel, and the eccentric sleeve is connected to the corresponding baffle through a connecting rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the pickling machine also includes an outer cylinder located outside the rotating drum, the rotating drum being rotatably disposed inside the outer cylinder, and a power unit being disposed on the outer cylinder, the power unit being used to drive the support cover to reciprocate within a specified angle about the axis of rotation of the rotating drum.

[0012] Furthermore, the power unit includes a sliding frame mounted on the side wall of the support cover, the sliding frame being slidably connected to the outer cylinder, a drive wheel being driven on the sliding frame, the drive wheel being rotatably mounted on the outer cylinder via a rotating column, a threaded sleeve being provided on the rotating column, and the threaded sleeve being threadedly connected to the rotating column.

[0013] A second motor is installed on the outer cylinder, and a turntable is installed at the output end of the second motor. A second connecting rod is eccentrically mounted on the end face of the turntable, and the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the threaded sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, the sliding frame is composed of a connecting frame one and a connecting frame two. The connecting frame one and the connecting frame two are slidably disposed on the outer cylinder and the support cover, respectively. The connecting frame one and the connecting frame two are slidably connected to each other, and the connecting frame one and the connecting frame two are fixedly connected by fasteners.

[0015] Furthermore, along the axis of the rotating drum, baffles are provided on both sides of the top surface of the support cover.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0017] By actively squeezing meat products using a moving body and several rolling rollers, the interaction force between materials can be increased, and the force can be made more uniform. Compared with traditional gravity and natural tumbling, this method has a greater force, better kneading effect, and improved penetration of the marinade, thus improving the marinating effect.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0032] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances. This embodiment is written in a progressive manner.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a meat processing tumbling and marinating machine of the present invention includes a horizontally arranged rotating drum 1 and a support cover 4 that is parallel to the rotating drum 1 and located inside the rotating drum 1. A plurality of side push plates 2 are provided on the outer circumference of the rotating drum 1, and the side push plates 2 are slidably arranged on the rotating drum 1 along the radial direction of the rotating drum 1. The side push plates 2 and the rotating drum 1 are connected by a plurality of elastic bodies 3.

[0034] A movable body 5 is slidably provided on the bottom surface of the support cover 4 along the radial direction of the rotating cylinder 1. The outer wall of the movable body 5 is an arc surface, and the arc surface is coaxial with the rotating cylinder 1. Several rolling columns 6 are provided on the arc surface.

[0035] The top surface of the support cover 4 is inclined, and the movable body 5 is connected to the support cover 4 by several elastic bodies 7.

[0036] In this invention, the axis of the rotating drum 1 is horizontally arranged, and several side push plates 2 are distributed along the circumference of the rotating drum 1. The ends of the side push plates 2 on the outer side of the rotating drum 1 are connected to the rotating drum 1 by several elastic bodies 3. The elastic bodies 3 can provide elastic thrust to the side push plates 2 toward the inside of the rotating drum 1. The other end of the side push plates 2 passes through the rotating drum 1 and slides into the rotating drum 1. The support cover 4 is inclined inside the rotating drum 1, so that the upper surface of the support cover 4 can be in an inclined state. With its inclined characteristic, the material can be easily allowed to slide down naturally. At the same time, the bottom of the support cover 4 is inclined, and the movable body 5 slides on the support cover 4 along the inclined direction. Several rolling columns 6 at the bottom of the movable body 5 are arranged along the arc direction of the bottom of the movable body 5, and the axis of the rolling columns 6 is parallel to the axis of the rotating drum 1.

[0037] In use, the meat to be marinated, seasonings, additives, and other materials are placed into the rotating drum 1. The drum 1 is then driven to rotate, causing several side push plates 2 to rotate synchronously. These side push plates 2 move the materials accordingly. Figure 3 For example, the right side of the support cover 4 is lower, and the side push plate 2 and the material on it enter the space between the movable body 5 and the rotating drum 1 from this side of the support cover 4. At this time, the two adjacent side push plates 2 between the rotating drum 1 and the movable body 5 can form a closed space. The movable body 5 can use several rolling columns 6 to squeeze the material between the adjacent side push plates 2. The elastic body 7 provides elastic force for the movable body 5 and the rolling columns 6. Thus, the several rolling columns 6 actively apply force to the material, and the adjacent side push plates 2 restrict the material to prevent it from moving randomly. The side push plate 2 pushes the material to move relative to the several rolling columns 6, and the rolling columns 6 squeeze the material. During the rolling process, the elastic body 2 7 provides force to the movable body 5 and the rolling column 6, which helps to push the side push plate 2 to slide on the rotating drum 1. The elastic body 3 undergoes elastic deformation, and the space between the adjacent push plates 2 is reduced. Thus, the movable body 5 and several rolling columns 6 can actively apply extrusion force to the material between the adjacent push plates 2, so that the material is actively rolled and marinated under a certain pressure. When the side push plate 2 moves to the left side of the support cover 4, the material between the adjacent push plates 2 will naturally slide down the upper surface of the support cover 4 to the right side of the support cover 4, thereby realizing the active turning and kneading of the material.

[0038] It should be noted that the support cover 4 and the movable body 5 may partially block the opening of the rotating drum 1 at the end face. This will cause the material to remain on the side of the support cover 4 instead of falling onto the inner wall of the rotating drum 1. To avoid this phenomenon, during loading and unloading, the rotating drum 1 can be made to tumble around a horizontal axis that is perpendicular to the axis of the rotating drum 1. After the rotating drum 1 tumbles half a circle, the support cover 4 and the movable body 5 are located on the upper inside of the rotating drum 1, which facilitates loading and unloading.

[0039] By actively squeezing the meat products using the moving body 5 and its several rolling columns 6, the interaction force between the materials can be increased, and the force can be made more uniform. Compared with traditional gravity and natural tumbling, this method has a greater force and better kneading effect, which improves the penetration of the marinade and thus improves the marinating effect. By using a dual kneading method that combines pressure kneading and tumbling kneading, the functionality of the equipment and the yield of meat products can be effectively improved, the marinating time can be shortened, and the efficiency can be increased.

[0040] Furthermore, along the axis of the rotating drum 1, both ends of the movable body 5 are provided with guide surfaces 8, and each side push plate 2 is provided with rollers 9 that cooperate with the guide surfaces 8.

[0041] Because the side push plate 2 moves relative to the movable body 5 and its several rolling pins 6, when the side push plate 2 moves between two adjacent rolling pins 6, it is easy for the side push plate 2 to get stuck between the two adjacent rolling pins 6, which increases the difficulty of rotating the side push plate 2 and the rotating drum 1. However, by using the above-mentioned structure, the side push plate 2 can contact the movable body 5 through the guide surface 8 and the rollers 9, so that there is a small gap between the end of the side push plate 2 and each rolling pin 6. Thus, the side push plate 2 and the rolling pins 6 can move relatively stably, and the movable body 5 can use the guide surface 8 and the rollers 9 to push the side push plate 2 to slide on the rotating drum 1. When the side push plate 2 and the movable body 5 move relative to each other, the guide surface 8 can slide on the rollers 9, thereby reducing the friction between the side push plate 2 and the movable body 5.

[0042] Furthermore, a plurality of baffles 10 are arranged on the top surface of the support cover 4 along the width direction of the support cover 4. The baffles 10 are slidably installed on the support cover 4 in a direction perpendicular to the top surface of the support cover 4, and adjacent baffles 10 move alternately.

[0043] When the side pusher 2 pushes the material to the high point on the left side of the support cover 4, the material slides down naturally along the upper surface of the support cover 4. At this time, the first baffle 10 will block the bottom layer of material on the upper surface of the support cover 4, while the surface material can continue to move through the top of the baffle 10. This part of the material contacts the upper surface of the support cover 4. The second baffle 10 will block the bottom layer of material, while the first baffle 10 slides into the support cover 4 and stops blocking. When the material blocked by the first baffle 10 moves to the position of the second baffle 10, it will continue to move through the top of the second baffle 10 as the surface material. This process is repeated, so that the bottom and surface parts of the material on the upper surface of the support cover 4 are alternately rubbed, improving the uniformity of the marinating.

[0044] In some embodiments, the material on the upper surface of the support cover 4 can be divided into multiple layers in the material thickness direction, with each layer corresponding to a baffle 10. Thus, each baffle 10 only blocks a portion of the material, achieving the same effect as described above. However, this method involves more layers and is mainly suitable for modes with smaller material volumes.

[0045] By using the alternating and reciprocating motion of several baffles 10, continuous processing of the material on the upper surface of the support cover 4 can be achieved.

[0046] Furthermore, a drive unit for providing power for the movement of each baffle 10 is provided inside the support cover 4;

[0047] The drive unit includes a motor 11 installed inside the support cover 4, a rotating shaft 12 located at the output end of the motor 11, and a plurality of eccentric wheels 13 located on the rotating shaft 12. The eccentric wheels 13 are eccentrically arranged on the rotating shaft 12, and the eccentric directions of two adjacent eccentric wheels 13 are opposite. An eccentric sleeve 14 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of each eccentric wheel 13. The eccentric sleeve 14 is connected to the corresponding baffle 10 by a connecting rod 15.

[0048] Motor 11 can provide rotational power to shaft 12 and several eccentric wheels 13. The eccentric motion of the eccentric wheels 13 is transmitted to baffle 10 through eccentric sleeve 14 and connecting rod 15, thereby providing power for the reciprocating motion of baffle 10 on support cover 4. At the same time, since the eccentric directions of two adjacent eccentric wheels 13 are opposite, the two adjacent baffles 10 can be made to move in a staggered manner.

[0049] Furthermore, the marinating machine also includes an outer cylinder 16 located outside the rotating cylinder 1. The rotating cylinder 1 is rotatably installed inside the outer cylinder 16. A power unit is installed on the outer cylinder 16. The power unit is used to drive the support cover 4 to reciprocate within a specified angle about the axis of the rotating cylinder 1.

[0050] The outer cylinder 16 can provide support for the rotating drum 1, and the material can be introduced into the rotating drum 1 through the end opening of the outer cylinder 16; the power unit on the outer cylinder 16 can provide reciprocating motion power for the support cover 4, and the reciprocating motion trajectory of the support cover 4 is arc-shaped, the axis of which is coaxial with the rotating drum 1. When the support cover 4 and the movable body 5 move, a number of rolling columns 6 can actively roll and knead the material between the adjacent push plates 2 on both sides, thereby improving the kneading effect.

[0051] Furthermore, the power unit includes a sliding frame 17 mounted on the side wall of the support cover 4. The sliding frame 17 is slidably connected to the outer cylinder 16. A drive wheel 18 is driven on the sliding frame 17. The drive wheel 18 is rotatably mounted on the outer cylinder 16 via a rotating column 19. A threaded sleeve 20 is provided on the rotating column 19. The threaded sleeve 20 and the rotating column 19 are connected by threads.

[0052] A second motor 21 is installed on the outer cylinder 16. A turntable 22 is installed at the output end of the second motor 21. A second connecting rod 23 is eccentrically mounted on the end face of the turntable 22. The second connecting rod 23 is rotatably connected to the threaded sleeve 20.

[0053] Motor 21 can drive connecting rod 23 to reciprocate in the vertical direction via turntable 22. Connecting rod 23 pushes threaded sleeve 20 to reciprocate on rotating column 19. Since threaded sleeve 20 and rotating column 19 are connected by threads, rotating column 19 and drive wheel 18 can be driven to reciprocate. Drive wheel 18 pushes sliding frame 17 to reciprocate, thereby providing reciprocating motion power for support cover 4 and moving body 5.

[0054] Furthermore, the sliding frame 17 is composed of a first connecting frame 24 and a second connecting frame 25. The first connecting frame 24 and the second connecting frame 25 are slidably disposed on the outer cylinder 16 and the support cover 4, respectively. The first connecting frame 24 and the second connecting frame 25 are slidably connected to each other, and the first connecting frame 24 and the second connecting frame 25 are fixedly connected by fasteners.

[0055] The sliding trajectory between connecting frame 1 24 and connecting frame 25 is arc-shaped, and the axis of this arc is coaxial with the rotating drum 1. When the relative position between connecting frame 1 24 and connecting frame 25 is adjusted, the tilt angle of the upper surface of the support cover 4 changes, thereby adjusting the working area of ​​the support cover 4 and the moving body 5. When the slope of the upper surface of the support cover 4 is large, it is easier for the material to slide off. This mode is mainly suitable for materials with high viscosity. When the slope of the upper surface of the support cover 4 is small, it is suitable for materials with low viscosity. Connecting frame 1 24 and connecting frame 25 can be connected by fasteners such as bolts and set screws.

[0056] Furthermore, along the axis of the rotating cylinder 1, baffles 26 are provided on both sides of the top surface of the support cover 4.

[0057] By using the baffle 26, the material on the upper surface of the support cover 4 can be easily blocked, preventing the material from sliding off the side of the support cover 4, and making it easy to confine the material on the inner wall of the rotating drum 1 and the upper surface of the support cover 4.

[0058] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
