Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a sealed curing device for preventing cross-contamination in the curing of bacon, belonging to the technical field of bacon curing. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional cured meat containers are usually single-chambered, which cannot cure different flavors of cured meat at the same time. Otherwise, it is easy for different marinades to cross-contaminate. At the same time, the existing sealing cover is often subjected to uneven force when closing, resulting in unstable sealing effect. Moreover, the opening and closing structure is inconvenient, making it difficult to balance ease of operation and reliable sealing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a cross-contamination-preventing sealed curing device for curing bacon, which addresses the problems of cross-contamination and uneven sealing in traditional sealed curing containers.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A sealed curing device for preventing cross-contamination in the curing of bacon includes a tank and a cover. The tank body is provided with a partition to divide the internal space of the tank body into at least two chambers; The inner side of the cover plate is provided with sealing elements that correspond one-to-one with the openings of each of the chambers and fit in shape, so as to form independent sealed cavities when the cover plate is closed; The cover plate is movably connected to the tank body via a connector, which is configured to allow the cover plate to move vertically in the closed position and to flip open after moving to a preset position. It also includes fasteners that act on the cover plate to apply a clamping force toward the tank to force the seal to deform.

[0005] Preferably, the partition is an annular partition fixed to the center of the tank bottom plate, thereby dividing the internal space of the tank into an inner cavity located in the center and an outer cavity surrounding the inner cavity.

[0006] Preferably, the sealing element includes a circular plug and an annular plug made of rubber, which are fixed to the inner side of the cover plate. The circular plug matches the opening shape of the inner cavity, and the annular plug matches the opening shape of the outer cavity.

[0007] Preferably, the connector includes two fixing rods fixed to the cover plate, and a shaft and a square rod are fixedly connected between the two fixing rods; The protruding part on the surface of the tank is provided with a sliding groove, which is composed of a circular groove segment and a square groove segment connected in series. The square rod is slidably disposed in the square groove segment, and the shaft is slidably disposed in the circular groove segment. The upper stop of the square groove section is provided with a clearance hole, the size of which corresponds to the size of the shaft, so that the square shaft can slide into the clearance hole, thereby allowing the cover plate to rotate around the axis of the shaft.

[0008] Preferably, when the square rod is located inside the square groove section, its surface contacts the inner wall of the groove, restricting the cover plate to move only in the vertical direction; when the square rod slides up into the clearance hole, a gap is created between it and the inner wall of the groove, allowing the cover plate to flip open and close.

[0009] Preferably, the fastener includes a U-shaped rod, a shaft seat, a bolt, a pressure block, and a positioning ring; The bearing seat is fixed to the outer surface of the tank body, the two ends of the U-shaped rod are rotatably connected to the bearing seat, the bolt is threadedly connected to the middle connecting rod of the U-shaped rod, and the pressure block is connected to the lower end of the bolt; The positioning ring is fixed to the top surface of the cover plate. When the U-shaped rod rotates to the working position, tightening the bolt can press the pressure block into the positioning ring and apply downward pressure to the cover plate.

[0010] Preferably, a baffle is fixed to the surface of the bearing seat, the baffle being used to limit the extreme position of the U-shaped rod to rotate outward; when the U-shaped rod abuts against the baffle and is in a vertical state, the pressure block automatically aligns with the positioning ring on the top surface of the cover plate.

[0011] Preferably, the bolt is located at the center of the middle connecting rod of the U-shaped rod, and the positioning ring is fixed at the center of the top surface of the cover plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are mainly reflected in: 1. The can is divided into an independent inner and outer cavity by an annular partition, and with the independent circular and annular plugs on the inner side of the cover, two sealed cavities that are not connected to each other are formed. This allows for the separate storage of cured meats prepared by different methods, completely eliminating cross-contamination and flavor mixing from a physical perspective.

[0013] 2. The cover plate connector uses a square rod and a sliding groove. When closed, the cover plate can only slide down in the vertical direction, so that all parts of the round plug and the annular plug contact the tank opening simultaneously and evenly, avoiding skewing and ensuring the uniformity of the initial seal.

[0014] 3. The additional fasteners, through the cooperation of U-shaped rods, bolts and pressure blocks, apply continuous and uniform downward pressure to the center of the cover plate, forcing the rubber plug to undergo controllable deformation to fill the tiny gaps, further enhancing the sealing effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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, 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.

[0021] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present application can be combined with each other.

[0022] This invention provides a sealed curing device for preventing cross-contamination in the curing of bacon, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown: An annular partition is fixed at the center of the bottom plate of the can 1, dividing the internal space of the can 1 into an inner cavity 11 and an outer cavity 12. A circular rubber plug 21 and an annular plug 22 are fixed on the inner side of the cover plate 2, which is connected to the can 1 by the connector 3. The circular plug 21 matches the opening shape of the inner cavity 11, and the annular plug 22 matches the opening shape of the outer cavity 12. Therefore, after the cover plate 2 is closed, two sealed cavities can be formed inside the can 1. These two cavities can be used to store cured meats with different curing methods, thus avoiding cross-contamination of flavors when placed in the same space.

[0023] Example 1: The two fixing rods 31 of the connector 3 are directly fixed to the cover plate 2. Two shafts 32 and a square rod 33 are fixed between the two fixing rods 31, forming a U-shaped structure. The square rod 33 is positioned between the two shafts 32 as the center. The groove opened on the raised part of the tank body 1 is composed of a circular groove segment 34 and a square groove segment 35 connected in series. The square groove segment 35 is located inside the circular groove segment 34, matching the positional relationship between the square rod 33 and the shaft 32. Therefore, when the cover plate 2 is connected to the tank body 1, the square rod 33 is located inside the square groove segment 35, and the shaft 32 is located inside the circular groove segment 34. The opening size of the circular groove segment 34 is larger than the opening size of the square groove segment 35, and a clearance hole 36 is opened through the upper stop of the square groove segment 35. The size of the clearance hole 36 corresponds to the size of the shaft 32. When the square rod 33 is inside the square groove section 35: the surface of the square rod 33 is in contact with the inner wall of the groove, and the entire cover plate 2 can only slide up or down in the vertical direction.

[0024] When the square rod 33 slides into the clearance hole 36, a gap is created between the surface of the square rod 33 and the inner wall of the groove, and the entire cover plate 2 can rotate around the axis of the shaft 32 to achieve outward or inward flipping and opening.

[0025] Therefore, when the entire cover plate 2 is closed, it can slide vertically down, so that the various parts of the circular plug 21 and the annular plug 22 are evenly stressed, in conjunction with the fastener 4, so as to cause the circular plug 21 and the annular plug 22 to deform evenly, so as to ensure the sealing of the overall structure after the cover plate 2 is closed.

[0026] Example 2: The U-shaped rod 41 of the fastener 4 is rotatably connected to the bearing 42 on the outer surface of the tank body 1, and a baffle 46 is fixed on the surface of the bearing 42. The baffle 46 is used to prevent the U-shaped rod 41 from rotating outward too much and to achieve a positioning effect. Therefore, when the U-shaped rod 41 rotates around the bearing 42 to a vertical position, the bolt 43 threadedly connected to the U-shaped rod 41 is rotated, so that the pressure block 44 at the lower end of the bolt 43 is inserted into the positioning ring 45 fixed on the top surface of the cover plate 2. By continuously tightening the bolt 43, a downward force can be applied to the cover plate 2, thereby compressing the circular plug 21 and the annular plug 22 to deform, fill the gap, and improve the sealing effect.

[0027] Bolt 43 is located at the center of the connecting rod in the middle of the U-shaped rod 41. In actual application, in conjunction with the baffle 46 for limiting, when the U-shaped rod 41 is screwed to the vertical position, the pressure block 44 at the lower end of bolt 43 automatically aligns with the positioning ring 45 located at the center of the cover plate 2; thus, the center of the cover plate 2 is subjected to force, and the force is evenly distributed to other parts.

[0028] The rods located at both ends of the connecting rod in the middle of the U-shaped rod 41 are not only directly rotatably connected to the bearing seat 42, but also have a redundant length design to ensure that there is sufficient clearance between the pressure block 44 and the tank body 1 when the entire U-shaped rod 41 rotates, so as to avoid interference.

[0029] The term "comprising" or any other similar term is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus / device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent in such process, method, article, or apparatus / device.

[0030] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
