[0044] Embodiment 1, refer to Figure 1~Figure 5 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, provides a rotating needle pickling device.

[0045] In this embodiment, the rotating needle pickling device includes a support frame 1 and needles 2; the number of needles 2 is several and they are distributed at intervals. When in use, the meat block is transported by the conveyor belt, and when the meat block moves under the needles 2, an external force is applied to drive the needles 2 to slide downward, and the needles 2 gradually approach the meat block and pierce into the meat block.

[0046] After the pricking needle 2 pierces the meat, the liquid outlet 4 is located inside the meat. At this time, the pickling liquid is positively pressed into the liquid passage through the liquid inlet 3 by means of an external pump body, and the pickling liquid is discharged by means of the liquid outlet 4. At this time, the pickling liquid is pumped into the meat. With the help of the pricking needle 2 with the liquid passage, the piercing of the meat and the injection of the pickling liquid are completed at the same time, avoiding the pickling failure caused by the shrinkage or even "disappearance" of the pricking hole on the meat after the pricking needle 2 is pulled out, thereby improving the consistency of the pickling effect of the meat. At the same time, with the help of a number of pricking needles 2 distributed at intervals, multiple positions of the meat can be pickled at the same time, thereby improving the pickling efficiency, improving the uniformity of the pickling effect of the meat, and avoiding the phenomenon of uneven pickling.

[0047] Example 2, refer to Figure 1 to Figure 8 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model. On the basis of the first embodiment, this embodiment further adds a base 5, and the base 5 slides with the help of the built-in power source on the support frame 1. When the base 5 slides, it drives the needle 2 to slide in the same direction to complete the piercing and pulling out operation process; at the same time, when the liquid outlet 4 is located in the meat block, with the help of the rotation of the needle 2, the pickling liquid is evenly distributed in the hole pierced by the needle 2, avoiding uneven pickling effect caused by uneven distribution of the pickling liquid, resulting in poor consistency in the taste of the meat block.

[0048] Example 3, refer to Figure 1 to Figure 8 , which is the third embodiment of the present utility model. On the basis of the second embodiment, this embodiment further adds a liquid transfer member 6, which replenishes liquid through an external liquid pipe, and the liquid pipe is connected to the pump body; the marinating liquid is stored in the liquid transfer chamber 7 of the liquid transfer member 6, and when the needle 2 rotates, the liquid inlet 3 is always connected to the liquid transfer chamber 7 to ensure the continuous supply of the marinating liquid; at the same time, the marinating liquid is prone to carry bubbles during the transportation process. With the help of the buffering of the liquid transfer chamber 7, the bubbles float up and burst, and the gas wrapped in the bubbles is released into the liquid transfer chamber 7, so as to avoid the gas being injected into the meat block and affecting the taste of the meat block.

[0049] Embodiment 4, referring to Figure 1 to Figure 7 , which is the fourth embodiment of the utility model. On the basis of the second embodiment, this embodiment further adds a driving unit 8, and the driving unit 8 includes a rotation driver 9, a transmission chain 10, a maintenance cover 12 and a lifting lug 13; wherein the rotation driver 9 is preferably an electrically driven motor, and a sprocket is arranged on the needle 2 located in the transmission chamber 11, and the sprocket is meshed and connected with the transmission chain 10; the number of the lifting lugs 13 is preferably two.

[0050] After the rotation driver 9 is started, the transmission chain 10 and the sprocket drive the needle 2 to rotate, ensuring the stability and continuity of the rotation of the needle 2. Since the diameter of the needle 2 is relatively small, the needle 2 is prone to bend or the liquid passage is blocked during use. At this time, the maintenance cover 12 is removed to maintain and disassemble the needle 2, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance of the needle 2. The two hanging ears 13 are provided to facilitate the removal and placement of the maintenance cover 12, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintenance and improving the convenience of maintenance operations.

[0051] Example 5, refer to Figure 1 to Figure 8 , which is the fifth embodiment of the utility model. On the basis of the first embodiment, this embodiment further adds a meat pressing plate 14. When in use, the conveyor belt moves the meat block to the bottom of the meat pressing plate 14, applies external force to drive the meat pressing plate 14 to slide downward and approach the meat block, and the meat pressing plate 14 slides downward for a distance and stops sliding. At this time, the meat pressing plate 14 and the meat block are in a state of extrusion contact. Through the extrusion of the meat pressing plate 14, the flatness of the upper surface of the meat block is ensured to improve the compactness of the meat block, and the meat block is prevented from being soft and the needle 2 is skewed when the needle 2 pierces the hole. After the meat pressing plate 14 squeezes the meat block, it drives the needle 2 to slide downward, and the needle 2 passes through the through hole 15 and penetrates into the meat block to complete the injection of the pickling liquid. The through hole 15 can play a guiding role to reduce the occurrence of the skew phenomenon of the needle 2. After the pickling is completed, the needle 2 slides upward to leave the meat block, and then the meat pressing plate 14 slides upward for a distance and stops sliding; then the conveyor belt starts to replace the meat block and prepare for the pickling of the next piece of meat.

[0052] Example 6, refer to Figure 1~Figure 3 and Figure 5 , which is the sixth embodiment of the utility model, is based on the fifth embodiment, and further adds a sealing sleeve 16. After the pickling operation is completed, the needle 2 slides upward for a distance, and the liquid outlet 4 of the needle 2 is just located in the sealing sleeve 16. The sealing sleeve 16 is used to block the liquid outlet 4, thereby reducing the waste of pickling liquid when the meat is replaced and reducing the consumption cost of raw materials. After the sealing sleeve 16 blocks the liquid outlet 4, the base 5 and the meat pressing plate 14 slide upward at the same time to ensure the blocking effect and avoid blocking failure.

[0053] Embodiment 7, reference Figure 1 to Figure 8 , which is the seventh embodiment of the utility model. On the basis of the fifth embodiment, this embodiment further adds an auxiliary part 17, which guides and supports a plurality of needles 2 with the help of the auxiliary part 17, thereby reducing the risk of the needles 2 being skewed or bent when sliding up and down, reducing the maintenance frequency of the bent needles 2, and reducing the maintenance workload.

[0054] Embodiment 8, refer to Figure 1~Figure 3 and Figure 5, which is the eighth embodiment of the present utility model. On the basis of the first embodiment, this embodiment further optimizes the pricking needle 2, and sets the end of the pricking needle 2 close to the meat block as a cone tip 18. With the help of the sharpness of the cone tip 18, the resistance of the pricking needle 2 penetrating into the meat block is reduced, and the risk of the pricking needle 2 being skewed and bent is reduced; at the same time, after the pricking needle 2 leaves the meat block, it helps the elastic recovery of the meat block, avoids the formation of hole-like marks on the outer surface of the meat block, and improves the aesthetic appearance of the meat block.

[0055] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
