DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] As Figure 1 - Figure 4 shown, the plant-based meat sizing machine of the present utility model includes an equipment platform 100. A sizing mechanism is provided on the upper side of the equipment platform 100. The sizing mechanism includes a sizing tank 201. A tumbling shaft 202 is arranged inside the sizing tank 201. Both ends of the tumbling shaft 202 are rotatably connected to the middle parts of both ends of the sizing tank 201. Tumbling components are arranged at equal intervals on the tumbling shaft 202. The tumbling components include tumbling arms 203 distributed in a circumferential array. One end of the tumbling arm 203 is fixedly connected to the tumbling shaft 202, and the other end of the tumbling arm 203 is fixedly connected with a perforated plate 204. The tumbling arm 203 is close to the inner wall of the sizing tank 201. The included angle between the tumbling arm 203 and the perforated plate 204 is an obtuse angle. A dividing ring 205 is arranged between adjacent tumbling components. The dividing ring 205 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sizing tank 201. A discharging mechanism is provided on the front side of the sizing tank 201.

[0020] The sizing tank 201 is used to hold plant-based meat and sizing slurry. The tumbling shaft 202 is used to connect the tumbling arms 203. The tumbling arms 203 are used to connect the perforated plates 204. When the perforated plate 204 revolves, it lifts the plant-based meat and the plant-based meat falls into the bottom of the sizing tank 201 under the action of gravity. At the same time, the porous structure of the perforated plate 204 retains the sizing slurry at the bottom of the sizing tank 201, so that the plant-based meat can be repeatedly immersed in the sizing slurry to achieve better feeding, as Figure 3 shown. At the same time, the connection between the perforated plate 204 and the tumbling arm 203 is bent. The bending direction of the perforated plate 204 is counterclockwise. When the tumbling shaft 202 rotates clockwise, the perforated plate 204 can lift the plant-based meat and repeatedly immerse it in the sizing slurry. When the tumbling shaft 202 rotates counterclockwise, the perforated plate 204 lifts the plant-based meat to the discharge pipe 301. Due to the existence of the inclined plane, the sized plant-based meat slides into the discharge pipe 301 under the action of gravity. The dividing ring 205 is used to distribute the plant-based meat between the dividing rings 205, facilitating being stirred by the perforated plate 204.

[0021] The sizing mechanism further includes a fan-shaped feed inlet 206. The fan-shaped feed inlet 206 is inserted through the top of the sizing tank 201. Two ends of the bottom of the sizing tank 201 are fixedly connected with vertical plates 207. The bottom ends of the vertical plates 207 are fixedly connected to the equipment platform 100.

[0022] The fan-shaped feed inlet 206 is used for feeding. The vertical plates 207 are used to connect the sizing tank 201 and the equipment platform 100.

[0023] The sizing mechanism further includes a tumbling motor 208. The output shaft of the tumbling motor 208 is fixedly connected to one end of the tumbling shaft 202. The bottom of the tumbling motor 208 is fixedly connected with a first motor mounting plate 209, and the first motor mounting plate 209 is fixedly connected to the sizing tank 201.

[0024] The first motor mounting plate 209 is used to mount the tumbling motor 208, and the tumbling motor 208 is used to provide rotational power to drive the tumbling shaft 202.

[0025] The discharging mechanism includes discharging components distributed in an array. The discharging component includes a discharging pipe 301. The discharging pipe 301 is inserted through the sizing tank 201. The pipe orifice of the discharging pipe 301 is inclined downward. The position of the discharging pipe 301 corresponds to that of the tumbling component. An arc-shaped plate door 302 for controlling the entry and exit of materials is provided at the position where the discharging pipe 301 is close to the sizing tank 201.

[0026] The discharging pipe 301 discharges materials, and the arc-shaped plate door 302 controls the smoothness and closing of the discharging pipe 301 through sliding.

[0027] The discharging mechanism further includes a synchronizing plate 303. The top end of the arc-shaped plate door 302 is fixedly connected to the synchronizing plate 303. The synchronizing plate 303 is slidably connected to the outside of the sizing tank 201. An arc-shaped rack 304 is fixedly connected to one side of the synchronizing plate 303. The arc-shaped rack 304 meshes with a driving gear 305. A discharging motor 306 is provided on one side of the driving gear 305. The output shaft of the discharging motor 306 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 305. A second motor mounting plate 307 is fixedly connected to one side of the discharging motor 306, and the other end of the second motor mounting plate 307 is fixedly connected to the sizing tank 201.

[0028] The second motor mounting plate 307 is used to mount the discharging motor 306. The discharging motor 306 provides rotational power to drive the driving gear 305 to rotate. The driving gear 305 drives the arc-shaped rack 304 and the synchronizing plate 303 to slide along the outside of the sizing tank 201. When the synchronizing plate 303 moves downward, it drives the arc-shaped plate door 302 to close the discharging pipe 301. After the synchronizing plate 303 moves upward, the discharging pipe 301 is opened, and the plant-based meat can come out from the discharging pipe 301.

[0029] A receiving hopper 400 is provided at the bottom of the outlet of the discharging pipe 301, and the receiving hopper 400 is fixedly connected to the equipment platform 100.

[0030] The receiving hopper 400 is used to receive the plant-based meat coming out of the discharging pipe 301.

[0031] The working principle of the plant-based meat sizing machine of the present utility model is as follows:

[0032] The plant-based meat and slurry enter the sizing tank 201 from the fan-shaped feeding port 206. The tumbling motor 208 drives the tumbling shaft 202 to rotate clockwise. The porous plate 204 sifts out the slurry, lifts the plant-based meat, and then relies on gravity to fall into the slurry at the bottom of the sizing tank 201. The operation is repeated to evenly size the plant-based meat.

[0033] After sizing is completed, the discharging motor 306 is started, causing the discharging motor 306 to drive the driving gear 305 to rotate. The driving gear 305 drives the synchronous plate 303 to move upward along the sizing tank 201 through the arc-shaped rack 304, driving the arc-shaped plate door 302 to move upward, keeping the discharging pipe 301 unobstructed. Then, the tumbling motor 208 rotates in the reverse direction to drive the tumbling arm 203 to rotate. The tumbling arm 203 drives the porous plate 204 to rotate in the reverse direction. The porous plate 204 lifts the plant-based meat at the bottom of the sizing tank 201 to the discharging pipe 301. Due to the inclined surface of the porous plate 204, the plant-based meat directly slides into the discharging pipe 301 under the action of gravity and finally enters the receiving hopper 400.

[0034] Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
