Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of meat processing, and more particularly to an automatic cleaning meat processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Pickling is a traditional food processing technique that involves treating meat with a marinade made from salt, sugar, nitrates or nitrites, and spices to inhibit microbial growth, extend shelf life, improve the flavor, color, and texture of the meat, and enhance its water retention and adhesion. It is one of the important processes in meat processing.

[0003] Currently, the industry generally uses drum-type marinating equipment for the mass processing of meat products; however, existing equipment has certain technical limitations: one type of equipment uses a drum with a smooth and flat inner wall, which is convenient for cleaning and quick unloading of marinated meat, but has low mixing and stirring efficiency and a long marinating time; another type of equipment has raised ribs on the inner wall of the drum, which lifts and repeatedly turns the meat when it rolls, effectively improving the uniformity and efficiency of marinating, but its internal structure is uneven, which means that the meat needs to be manually removed after marinating and is difficult to clean.

[0004] In summary, this application proposes an automatic cleaning meat processing equipment to improve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing marinating equipment, such as low marinating efficiency or the need for manual assistance to remove meat after marinating and difficulty in cleaning, this invention provides an automatic cleaning meat processing equipment.

[0006] Technical solution: An automatic cleaning meat processing equipment includes a base frame; a rotating drum is mounted on the base frame; the rotating drum is equipped with a door; a drive unit is connected to the base frame and connected to the rotating drum, the drive unit being used to drive the rotating drum to rotate; it also includes a silicone inner sleeve fixed to the inner wall of the rotating drum; the rotating drum has several through slots; two multi-stage electric push rods are fixedly connected to each through slot; the telescopic parts of the two multi-stage electric push rods at the same through slot are each fixedly connected to a push rod located in the through slot.

[0007] To further explain, the silicone inner sleeve is fixedly connected with several snap-fit ​​blocks, and the snap-fit ​​blocks are slidably connected to the rotating drum.

[0008] To further explain, the end of the push rod is toothed.

[0009] To further explain, the drive unit includes gear one, a servo motor and gear two; gear one is fixedly connected to the drum; the servo motor is fixedly connected to the base frame; gear two is fixedly connected to the output part of the servo motor, and gear two meshes with gear one.

[0010] Further explanation: It also includes a multi-stage electric push rod II and a movable circular plate; two multi-stage electric push rod II are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the rotating drum; the telescopic parts of the two multi-stage electric push rod II on the same side are each fixedly connected to a movable circular plate that slides inside the rotating drum.

[0011] To further clarify, the movable circular plate is made of rubber.

[0012] Further explanation: It also includes a fixed rod, electric rollers, and a scraper; the base frame is fixedly connected to the fixed rod, which is rotatably connected to the rotating drum; the fixed rod is slidably connected to a scraper, which is aligned with the bin door and has the same width as the bin door; an electric roller that contacts the scraper is installed inside the fixed rod.

[0013] To further explain, a rubber strip is provided at the end of the scraper.

[0014] Further explanation: It also includes a feeding pipe and a water supply pipe; the fixing rod is designed as a hollow structure; a feeding pipe connected to the inside of the fixing rod is fixed to the left side of the fixing rod; a water supply pipe connected to the inside of the fixing rod is fixed to the left side of the fixing rod; and the fixing rod has several discharge holes.

[0015] To further explain, both the feed pipe and the water pipe are equipped with one-way valves.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the raised silicone inner sleeve lifts the meat until it rotates to the top, at which point the meat falls back down, thus repeatedly turning the meat inside the rotating drum, effectively improving the uniformity and efficiency of marinating the meat; after marinating, the multi-stage electric push rod is controlled to drive the push rod to retract, stopping the ejection of the silicone inner sleeve. The silicone inner sleeve rebounds and resets under its own elasticity, allowing the inner wall of the rotating drum to return to a flat surface, which facilitates cleaning of the inner wall of the rotating drum and makes it easier to remove the marinated meat.

[0017] The marinade is fed into the fixed rod through the feeding pipe and discharged from the discharge hole. This allows the marinade to be evenly added to the surface of the meat during the rolling process. The meat is repeatedly turned over by the silicone inner sleeve, which further improves the uniformity of marinade addition and effectively improves the overall marinating efficiency. Cleaning water is introduced into the fixed rod and sprayed out from the discharge hole to clean the marinade residue inside the fixed rod and rinse the inner wall of the rotating drum.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The invention will now be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which presently preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated. However, the invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided for thoroughness and completeness and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0021] Example 1: An automatic cleaning meat processing equipment, referring to... Figures 1-7 As shown, it includes a base frame 1, a rotating drum 2 and a drive unit; the rotating drum 2 is mounted on the base frame 1; the rotating drum 2 is provided with a door 21; the base frame 1 is connected to the drive unit, and the drive unit is connected to the rotating drum 2, and the drive unit is used to drive the rotating drum 2 to rotate. It also includes a silicone inner sleeve 22, a multi-stage electric push rod 6 and a push rod 7; the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the silicone inner sleeve 22; the rotating cylinder 2 has five through slots 2001; two multi-stage electric push rods 6 are fixedly connected to each through slot 2001; the telescopic parts of the two multi-stage electric push rods 6 at the same through slot 2001 are each fixedly connected to a push rod 7, and the push rod 7 is located inside the through slot 2001.

[0022] The silicone inner sleeve 22 is fixedly connected to several snap-fit ​​blocks 2201, and the snap-fit ​​blocks 2201 are slidably connected to the rotating drum 2. When disassembling the silicone inner sleeve 22, the left side of the rotating drum 2 is disassembled and opened, and then the silicone inner sleeve 22 is slidably pulled out through the snap-fit ​​blocks 2201.

[0023] The end of the push rod 7 is set to be toothed. When the silicone inner sleeve 22 is pushed out, the pushed out silicone inner sleeve 22 is uneven, thereby increasing the disorder of meat turning and improving the marinating efficiency of meat.

[0024] The drive unit includes gear 3, servo motor 4 and gear 5; gear 3 is fixedly connected to the drum 2; servo motor 4 is fixedly connected to the base frame 1; gear 5 is fixedly connected to the output part of servo motor 4, and gear 5 meshes with gear 3.

[0025] It also includes a multi-stage electric push rod 111 and a movable circular plate 112; two multi-stage electric push rods 111 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the rotating drum 2; the telescopic parts of the two multi-stage electric push rods 111 on the same side are each fixedly connected to a movable circular plate 112, and the movable circular plate 112 slides inside the rotating drum 2.

[0026] The movable circular plate 112 is made of rubber to reduce damage to the inner wall of the rotating drum 2.

[0027] It also includes a fixed rod 121, an electric roller 122, and a scraper; the fixed rod 121 is fixedly connected to the base frame 1, and the fixed rod 121 passes through the inside of the rotating drum 2 and is rotatably connected to the rotating drum 2; a scraper 123 is slidably connected to the fixed rod 121, the scraper 123 is aligned with the door 21, and the width is the same as the width of the door 21. The meat is pushed to the middle of the rotating drum 2 by the movable circular plates 112 on both sides, and then scraped out of the door 21 by the scraper 123, so as to realize the rapid removal of the meat; the electric roller 122 is installed inside the fixed rod 121, and the electric roller 122 is in contact with the scraper 123.

[0028] A rubber strip is provided at the end of the scraper 123 to reduce damage to the inner wall of the rotating drum 2.

[0029] The working steps of the above embodiment are as follows: When marinating the meat, the worker first opens the door 21 of the rotating drum 2, then pours the meat and marinade into the rotating drum 2 together, and then closes the door 21; then the servo motor 4 is started to drive the gear 5 to rotate, driving the gear 3 to rotate with the rotating drum 2, and the marinating process begins; at this time, after the meat is poured into the rotating drum 2, the multi-stage electric push rod 6 is controlled to drive the push rod 7 to extend into the rotating drum 2, pushing up the silicone inner sleeve 22, so that the silicone inner sleeve 22 protrudes into the rotating drum 2, forming Figure 5As shown, during the subsequent rolling marinating process, the meat is lifted by the protruding silicone inner sleeve 22 until it reaches the top, at which point it falls back down, thus repeatedly turning the meat inside the rotating drum 2, effectively improving the uniformity and efficiency of the marinating process. When the marinating process is complete, the multi-stage electric push rod 6 drives the push rod 7 to retract, stopping the ejection of the silicone inner sleeve 22. The silicone inner sleeve 22 rebounds and resets under its own elasticity, allowing the inner wall of the rotating drum 2 to return to a flat surface, which facilitates cleaning of the inner wall of the rotating drum 2 and makes it easier to remove the marinated meat.

[0030] After the meat marinating is complete, the door 21 of the rotating drum 2 is rotated to the lower side, and the door 21 is manually opened to remove the meat inside. Considering that the meat pieces are easily adhered to the inside of the rotating drum 2 due to the marinade, manual assistance is still required during removal. Therefore, after the silicone inner sleeve 22 is restored, the multi-stage electric push rod 111 is controlled to move the movable circular plates 112 on both sides toward each other, pushing the meat inside the rotating drum 2 toward the center until the movable circular plates 112 contact the scraper 123. Then, the electric roller 122 is controlled to move the scraper 123, so that... The bottom of the scraper 123 contacts the inner wall of the rotating drum 2. Then, the door 21 is opened manually, and the rotating drum 2 is slowly rotated. During the rotation of the rotating drum 2, the meat attached to the inner wall of the rotating drum 2 is scraped off by the stationary scraper 123 and guided to the opening of the rotating drum 2. When the door 21 rotates once and passes the scraper 123 again, the meat gathered on the surface of the scraper 123 is scraped out, thereby achieving rapid removal of the meat. It should be noted that during the rolling marinating process, the scraper 123 should be kept away from the inner wall of the rotating drum 2 to prevent the scraper 123 from obstructing the protruding silicone inner sleeve 22.

[0031] Example 2: Based on Example 1, referring to... Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a feeding pipe 201 and a water supply pipe 202; the fixing rod 121 is a hollow structure; the feeding pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing rod 121, and the feeding pipe 201 communicates with the inside of the fixing rod 121; the water supply pipe 202 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing rod 121, and the water supply pipe 202 communicates with the inside of the fixing rod 121; the fixing rod 121 has several discharge holes 12101.

[0032] It also includes one-way valves installed in both the feeding pipe 201 and the water supply pipe 202 to prevent the marinade conveyed by the feeding pipe 201 from entering the water supply pipe 202 and causing blockage.

[0033] Based on the above embodiment 1, considering that in existing production technology, meat and marinade are often poured directly into the drum together, resulting in a large amount of marinade accumulating on the surface of the meat, which easily leads to excessive absorption on the surface and insufficient deep penetration, affecting the uniformity of marinating; therefore, during marinating, after manually pouring the meat into the rotating drum 2, the door 21 is closed, and the feeding pipe 201 is connected to the marinade conveying mechanism. Then, the rotating drum 2 is controlled to rotate for marinating. During marinating, the marinade is conveyed to the inside of the fixed rod 121 through the feeding pipe 201 and discharged from the discharge hole 12101. This allows the marinade to be evenly added to the surface of the meat during the rolling process. In conjunction with the silicone inner sleeve 22 repeatedly turning the meat, the uniformity of marinade addition is further improved, effectively improving the overall marinating efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, when the pickling operation is completed and the rotating drum 2 is cleaned, the water pipe is connected to the water supply pipe 202 to introduce cleaning water into the fixed rod 121 and spray it out from the discharge hole 12101, thereby cleaning the residual pickling material inside the fixed rod 121 and rinsing the inner wall of the rotating drum 2. After cleaning, the movable circular plate 112 moves and the scraper 123 extends to scrape and clean the inside of the rotating drum 2, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect.

[0035] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
