Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processing, and more specifically, to a soaking device for food processing. Background Art

[0002] In the process of food processing and production, the soaked food processing is to store the food in the soaking container for a period of time (generally 10 to 20 days). At present, the soaking process is to put the food directly into the soaking container for soaking or oxygen-free fermentation, that is, the food is scattered and salvaged. Since the scattered food floats in a large area in the soaking container, it is not suitable to be turned over alternately. During the long soaking period, it will cause uneven oxidation and deterioration of the food, increasing the probability of defective products in the later stage; the pressing wood placed on the floating food and the machinery for salvaging the food directly contaminate the soaking liquid and food. This pollution becomes the largest secondary pollution besides pesticide pollution; in addition, the efficiency of food placement and salvage is low and the production cost is high.

[0003] The document with the prior art publication number CN 220423089 U provides a soaking device for food processing. The device first puts the food to be soaked or fermented into a packing net bag, opens a soaking dish, puts the packing bag into the soaking dish, the packing net bag can be flexibly combined into 2 to 4 bags, closes the fixing clip to lock the soaking dish, and lifts the soaking dish into a soaking tank through a lifting hook. The soaking liquid needs to submerge the soaking dish so as to achieve the purpose of soaking or isolating oxygen and fermenting. After the soaking is completed, the soaking dish is lifted out of the soaking tank through the lifting hook to take out the food.

[0004] The utility model can be used repeatedly.

[0005] Although the above-mentioned prior art solution can achieve the relevant beneficial effects through the structure of the prior art, it still has the following defects: when the device is in use, since the brewing dish is immersed in the soaking pool, when salvaging, the food carries a large amount of soaking liquid due to the long-term soaking. In order to avoid the waste of soaking liquid, the bracket is required to lift the packing net bag to control the water, so the process of lifting and disassembling the packing net bag is relatively cumbersome.

[0006] In view of this, we propose a soaking device for food processing. Utility Model Content

[0007] 1. Technical issues to be solved

[0008] The purpose of the present application is to provide a soaking device for food processing, which solves the technical problems in the above-mentioned background technology and achieves the technical effect of facilitating the salvage and water control of soaked food.

[0009] 2. Technical solution

[0010] The technical solution of the present application provides a soaking device for food processing, including: a soaking box, wherein swing arms are symmetrically arranged inside the soaking box, one end of the swing arm is fixedly mounted with a transmission shaft rotatably connected to the soaking box, and the other end is rotatably connected to a first mesh cage, a second mesh cage is detachably mounted on the first mesh cage, both the first mesh cage and the second mesh cage are semi-cylindrical structures, the first mesh cage and the second mesh cage can form a cylindrical mesh cage, and the transmission shaft is transmission-connected to a driving mechanism.

[0011] By adopting the above technical scheme, food or food packed in a packing net bag is placed between the first net cage and the second net cage and fixed, and then the swing arm is driven to rotate by the driving mechanism, and the swing arm can drive the first net cage and the second net cage to rotate with the transmission shaft, and when the first net cage and the second net cage are placed at the lower end, they can be completely immersed in the soaking liquid in the soaking box, and through the rotation connection between the first net cage and the swing arm, the food inside can be rolled by rotating the first net cage and the second net cage to ensure that the food in the center can be fully immersed in the soaking liquid. When it needs to be salvaged, the driving mechanism drives the swing arm to rotate, and the first net cage and the second net cage are rotated upward and separated from the soaking box at the same time, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling water for the food.

[0012] As an optional solution of the technical solution of the present application document, the driving mechanism includes a servo motor, a worm gear transmission-connected to the servo motor, and a worm wheel meshing with the worm gear and coaxially fixed to one side of the transmission shaft.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the servo motor is fixed on the side wall of the immersion box, and the output shaft of the servo motor is fixed coaxially with the worm. The servo motor drives the worm to rotate, and the worm drives the worm wheel to drive the transmission shaft to rotate, and finally the transmission shaft drives the swing arm to rotate. Under the self-locking action of the worm and the worm wheel, the flipping angle of the first net cage and the second net cage can be positioned.

[0014] As an optional solution to the technical solution of the present application document, the first mesh cage is fixedly installed with shafts at both axial ends, which are rotatably connected to the swing arm and parallel to the transmission shaft, and the shaft is coaxially fixed with planetary gears, and the immersion box is fixedly installed with a gear ring which is coaxial with the transmission shaft and meshes with the planetary gears.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the swing arm swings before soaking, the planetary gear engages with the gear ring, so that the planetary gear drives the shaft to rotate, thereby driving the first net cage and the second net cage to rotate, thereby causing the food inside to roll, avoiding the problem of insufficient soaking caused by mutual squeezing of food.

[0016] As an optional solution of the technical solution of the present application document, the gear ring is an arc-shaped structure, and the gear ring is fixed to the upper end of the immersion box.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when food falls into the soaking box and gets stuck between the planetary gear and the gear ring, it will affect the normal meshing. However, the arc structure of the gear ring can avoid the problem of non-meshing caused by food getting stuck between the gear ring and the planetary gear.

[0018] As an optional solution of the technical solution of the present application document, one side edge of the first mesh cage is hinged to the second mesh cage, and a plurality of buckles are fixedly installed between the other side edge and the second mesh cage.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the left side edge of the first mesh cage is hinged to the second mesh cage through a plurality of hinges, and the right side edge is assembled and disassembled from the second mesh cage through a plurality of buckles.

[0029] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] A soaking device for food processing comprises: a soaking box 1, wherein a swing arm 5 is symmetrically arranged in the soaking box 1, wherein a transmission shaft 501 rotatably connected to the soaking box 1 is fixedly mounted on one end of the swing arm 5, and a first net cage 2 is rotatably connected to the other end, wherein a second net cage 3 is detachably mounted on the first net cage 2, wherein both the first net cage 2 and the second net cage 3 are semi-cylindrical structures, and the first net cage 2 and the second net cage 3 can form a cylindrical net cage, and the transmission shaft 501 is transmission-connected to a driving mechanism 4.
