Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to an integrated device and method for ultrasonic-assisted vacuum marinating of thin, crispy meat. Background Technology

[0002] Marinating meat can significantly improve the quality of meat products. Through the penetration of auxiliary materials such as salt, sugar, and spices, it can effectively enhance the flavor and palatability of meat, inhibit microbial growth, and extend shelf life. At the same time, it can improve the water retention and tenderness of meat, reduce moisture loss during processing, increase the juiciness and yield of the finished product, stabilize meat color, and enhance antioxidant properties, laying a good quality foundation for subsequent processes such as steaming, frying, and drying.

[0003] CN120615956A discloses a pretreatment device for food processing, comprising a base, a fixed frame fixedly connected to the top of the base, a support frame fixedly connected inside the fixed frame, and support rods fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed frame; and a rotating assembly, including a servo motor fixedly connected inside the support frame. This invention integrates multiple functions through a single servo motor drive, achieving fully automated operation of the meat marinating process. By linking various components through a rotating shaft, manual segmented processing and material transfer are eliminated, shortening marinating time, reducing labor intensity, and improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, the composite stirring and vibration design promotes uniform marinade penetration, ensuring finished product quality. Resource integration reduces energy consumption and wastewater treatment difficulty. Furthermore, the device avoids cross-contamination, allows real-time control of marinade penetration rate, significantly shortens the production cycle, and provides an efficient solution for meat marinating.

[0004] The above-mentioned patents still have some problems when used: Traditional meat marinating equipment often uses stirring, tumbling, or soaking methods, which can easily cause meat slices to deform and break, affecting the shape and taste of the finished product. In addition, the loading and unloading of materials rely on manual handling, resulting in low automation. For meat products with regular shapes, such as thin and crispy meat, conventional stirring methods can easily lead to stacking, tangling, and uneven stress, resulting in poor flavor consistency. Existing equipment lacks a dedicated fixing structure, making it impossible to stably position the meat slices during the marinating process. This is not conducive to the uniform penetration of the marinade and makes it difficult to achieve continuous loading and unloading. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Preferably, the docking assembly includes slots formed at the lateral positions of both ends of the shelf, a limiting rod is fitted inside the slot, one end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame, and the other end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to a collar.

[0010] Preferably, a sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the limiting rod, and a second spring is sleeved on the limiting rod. The two ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to one side of the collar and one side of the sliding sleeve, respectively. A pulley is rotatably connected to the surface of the sliding sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, positioning blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the slot, and the positioning blocks have limit grooves, with the pulleys being engaged inside the limit grooves.

[0012] Preferably, the hoisting assembly includes a hoisting frame disposed on the top surface of the housing, a pair of lifting rings fixedly connected to the top surface of the hoisting frame, a round tube fixedly installed at the bottom of the hoisting frame, and shaft seats symmetrically fixedly connected to the surface of the round tube, with side rods fixedly connected to the shaft seats.

[0013] Preferably, a slider is slidably connected to the side rod, a third spring is sleeved on the side rod, and the two ends of the third spring are respectively fixedly connected to the top surface of the slider and the bottom surface of the shaft seat. A first hinge seat is fixedly installed on the slider, a driven plate is rotatably connected to the first hinge seat, the other end of the driven plate is rotatably connected to a docking seat, the docking seat is fixedly connected to the arm plate, one end of the arm plate is rotatably connected to a second hinge seat, the second hinge seat is fixedly installed on the surface of the circular tube, and a locking block is fixedly connected to the other end of the arm plate.

[0014] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frame, a positioning post is fixedly connected to the support plate, a connector is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning post, the locking block is attached to the surface of the connector, and a conical ring is slidably connected to the positioning post.

[0015] This invention also provides a method for ultrasonic-assisted vacuum marinating of thin, crispy meat, comprising: The clamp tubes are opened by rotating the ring, and then the meat is placed between a pair of clamp tubes. The clamp tubes are then closed. Inside the clamp tubes, there are clamp plates. The force of the first spring causes the pins to be inserted into the meat. Then, multiple sets of clamp tubes are put into the box through the lifting assembly to facilitate the marinating of the meat on the clamp tubes.

[0016] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: 1. The present invention has a reasonable structure. The ring at the top of the clamp tube is rotated out and the other end of the clamp tube is rotated to connect. Then the clamp tube is opened and the meat is evenly spread between the two sets of clamp tubes. Then the clamp tube is rotated again and the ring is threaded to one end of the clamp tube. The pin on the clamp plate will be inserted into the meat by the elastic force of the first spring to prevent the meat from falling off during hoisting. Then the ring is placed inside the slot for easy hoisting into the box for marinating.

[0017] 2. In this invention, when the entire shelf is disassembled, a positioning block is fixedly connected to the shelf, and a limiting groove is provided on the positioning block. The pulley on the sliding sleeve is locked inside the limiting groove by the elastic force of the second spring. By pulling the sliding sleeve on the limiting rod, the pulley is moved, thereby facilitating the pulley to disengage from the inside of the limiting groove. Then, the shelf is moved horizontally, and the entire shelf is taken out.

[0018] 3. In this invention, when the entire frame is hoisted into the box body by the hoisting frame, the downward movement of the hoisting frame causes the locking block on the arm plate to slide against the top position of the connector by the elastic force of the third spring. When the locking block moves to the bottom position of the connector, the entire connector enters the interior of the round tube, and then the locking block will be locked at the bottom position of the connector by the elastic force of the third spring, thus facilitating the hoisting of the entire frame. When the entire hoisting frame needs to be removed, the round tube needs to continue to move downward, so that the locking block is locked at the bottom position of the cone ring. Then the round tube moves upward, causing the cone ring to slide on the positioning post. When the cone ring is against the bottom position of the connector, as the locking block continues to move, the locking block disengages from the connector head, thus facilitating the removal of the entire hoisting frame.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example: Reference Figure 1 - Figure 8 The ultrasonic-assisted vacuum marinating device for thin, crispy meat includes a housing 1, a control console 101 fixedly mounted on the surface of the housing 1, a door 102 rotatably connected to the top of the housing 1, a support 103 mounted on the bottom of the housing 1, a vacuum pump 104 fixedly mounted on one side of the housing 1, and an ultrasonic machine 105 fixedly mounted on the other side of the housing 1. It also includes a placement assembly, a docking assembly, and a lifting assembly. The placement assembly is mounted on a clamping tube 208 for clamping the meat, the docking assembly is mounted on a frame 201 for mounting a placement plate 202, and the lifting assembly is located at the top of the housing 1 for lifting the entire lifting frame 4.

[0024] Specifically, it should be noted that the entire hoisting frame 4 is hoisted by a crane. The box door 102 is closed, and the air inside the box 1 is discharged by the vacuum pump 104. Then, the ultrasonic machine 105 assists in the marinating inside the box 1. The specific working principle is based on existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.

[0025] As one embodiment of this example, the storage assembly includes a liner 2 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. A frame 201 is provided on the liner 2. Several sets of storage plates 202 are detachably installed on the inner wall of the frame 201. Several sets of storage slots 204 are provided on the storage plates 202. A limiting block 205 is fixedly installed at the top opening of the storage slot 204. A slot 206 is provided at the top of the limiting block 205. A ring 207 is locked inside the slot 206. The ring 207 is threaded to the top surface of the clamp tube 208. A pair of clamp tubes 208 are provided. The other ends of the clamp tubes 208 are rotatably connected. Several sets of first springs 209 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamp tube 208. The other end of the first spring 209 is fixedly connected to the clamp plate 210. Several sets of pins 211 are fixedly installed on the surface of the clamp plate 210.

[0026] Specifically, the ring 207 at the top of the clamp tube 208 is rotated out, and the other ends of the clamp tube 208 are rotated and connected. Then the clamp tube 208 is opened, and the meat is evenly spread between the two sets of clamp tubes 208. Then the clamp tube 208 is rotated, and the ring 207 is threaded onto one end of the clamp tube 208. The pin 211 on the clamp plate 210 will be inserted into the meat by the elastic force of the first spring 209 to prevent the meat from falling off during hoisting. Then the ring 207 is placed inside the slot 206 to facilitate the hoisting work later.

[0027] As one implementation method in this embodiment, according to the appendix Figure 8 As shown, the docking assembly includes slots 3 located laterally at both ends of the shelf 202. A limiting rod 301 is fitted inside the slot 3. One end of the limiting rod 301 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 201, and the other end of the limiting rod 301 is fixedly connected to a collar 302. A sliding sleeve 303 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 301. A second spring 304 is fitted on the limiting rod 301. The two ends of the second spring 304 are fixedly connected to one side of the collar 302 and one side of the sliding sleeve 303, respectively. A pulley 305 is rotatably connected to the surface of the sliding sleeve 303. Positioning blocks 306 are fixedly installed on both sides of the slot 3. A limiting groove 307 is formed on the positioning block 306, and the pulley 305 is fitted inside the limiting groove 307.

[0028] Specifically, when disassembling the shelf 202 as a whole, a positioning block 306 is fixedly connected to the shelf 202, and a limiting groove 307 is provided on the positioning block 306. The pulley 305 on the sliding sleeve 303 is locked inside the limiting groove 307 by the elastic force of the second spring 304. By pulling the sliding sleeve 303 on the limiting rod 301, the pulley 305 is driven to move, thereby facilitating the pulley 305 to disengage from the limiting groove 307. Then, the shelf 202 is moved horizontally and the shelf 202 as a whole is taken out.

[0029] In this embodiment, according to the appendix Figure 4 As shown, the hoisting assembly includes a hoisting frame 4 positioned on the top surface of the housing 1. A pair of lifting rings 401 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the hoisting frame 4. A circular tube 402 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hoisting frame 4. Shaft seats 403 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the surface of the circular tube 402. A side rod 404 is fixedly connected to the shaft seat 403. A slider 405 is slidably connected to the side rod 404. A third spring 406 is sleeved on the side rod 404. The two ends of the third spring 406 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the slider 405 and the bottom surface of the shaft seat 403, respectively. A first hinge seat 407 is fixedly installed on the slider 405. A rotatable joint is connected to the first hinge seat 407. Driven plate 408, the other end of driven plate 408 is rotatably connected to docking seat 409, docking seat 409 is fixedly connected to arm plate 410, one end of arm plate 410 is rotatably connected to second hinge seat 411, second hinge seat 411 is fixedly installed on the surface of round tube 402, the other end of arm plate 410 is fixedly connected to a locking block 412, a support plate 413 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of frame 201, a positioning post 414 is fixedly connected to the support plate 413, a mating joint 415 is fixedly connected to the top of positioning post 414, the locking block 412 is attached to the surface of mating joint 415, and a conical ring 416 is slidably connected to positioning post 414.

[0030] Specifically, when the frame 201 is hoisted into the housing 1 by the hoisting frame 4, the downward movement of the hoisting frame 4 causes the locking block 412 on the arm plate 410 to slide against the top position of the connector 415 by the elastic force of the third spring 406. When the locking block 412 moves to the bottom position of the connector 415, the connector 415 enters the interior of the round tube 402, and then the locking block 412 is locked at the bottom position of the connector 415 by the elastic force of the third spring 406. This facilitates the hoisting of the entire frame 201. When the entire hoisting frame 4 needs to be removed, the round tube 402 needs to move downward continuously so that the locking block 412 is locked at the bottom position of the cone ring 416. Then, the round tube 402 moves upward to drive the cone ring 416 to slide on the positioning post 414. When the cone ring 416 is in contact with the bottom position of the connector 415, as the locking block 412 continues to move, the locking block 412 is disengaged from the connector 415, thus facilitating the removal of the entire hoisting frame 4.

[0031] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The ring 207 at the top of the clamp tube 208 is rotated out and the other end of the clamp tube 208 is rotated and connected. Then the clamp tube 208 is opened and the meat is evenly spread between the two sets of clamp tubes 208. Then the clamp tube 208 is rotated again and the ring 207 is threaded to one end of the clamp tube 208. The pin 211 on the clamp plate 210 will be inserted into the meat by the elastic force of the first spring 209 to prevent the meat from falling off during hoisting. Then the ring 207 is placed inside the slot 206 to facilitate the hoisting work later.

[0032] When the shelf 202 is disassembled as a whole, a positioning block 306 is fixedly connected to the shelf 202, and a limiting groove 307 is provided on the positioning block 306. The pulley 305 on the sliding sleeve 303 is locked inside the limiting groove 307 by the elastic force of the second spring 304. By pulling the sliding sleeve 303 on the limiting rod 301, the pulley 305 is driven to move, so that the pulley 305 can be released from the limiting groove 307. Then the shelf 202 is moved horizontally and the shelf 202 is taken out as a whole.

[0033] When the frame 201 is hoisted into the housing 1 by the hoisting frame 4, the downward movement of the hoisting frame 4 causes the locking block 412 on the arm plate 410 to slide against the top position of the connector 415 by the elastic force of the third spring 406. When the locking block 412 moves to the bottom position of the connector 415, the connector 415 enters the interior of the round tube 402, and then the locking block 412 is locked at the bottom position of the connector 415 by the elastic force of the third spring 406, thus... To facilitate the hoisting of the frame 201 as a whole, when the hoisting frame 4 as a whole needs to be removed, the round tube 402 needs to move downward continuously so that the locking block 412 is locked at the bottom position of the cone ring 416. Then the round tube 402 moves upward to drive the cone ring 416 to slide on the positioning post 414. When the cone ring 416 is in contact with the bottom position of the connector 415, as the locking block 412 continues to move, the locking block 412 is disengaged from the connector 415, thereby facilitating the removal of the hoisting frame 4 as a whole.

[0034] This invention also provides a method for ultrasonic-assisted vacuum marinating of thin, crispy meat, comprising: The clamp tube 208 is opened by rotating the ring 207, and then the meat is placed between a pair of clamp tubes 208. Then the clamp tube 208 is closed. A clamp plate 210 is provided inside the clamp tube 208. The insertion pin 211 is inserted into the meat by the elastic force of the first spring 209. Then, multiple sets of clamp tubes 208 are put into the box 1 by the lifting assembly to facilitate the marinating of the meat on the clamp tube 208.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
