Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of marinated meat processing, in particular to a meat thawing and cleaning device. Background Technique

[0002] In the traditional meat processing method, when thawing, the meat is usually soaked in brine and taken out for cleaning after thawing. This not only takes a long time but also wastes labor. The existing technology has proposed a device that can thaw and clean meat. By adopting the method of circulating water replacement, it can not only thaw the meat but also clean the residues on the surface of the meat during thawing, ensuring food safety. However, during the water pumping process by the water pump, the water in the water tank cannot be completely pumped out, resulting in unclean cleaning of the impurities in the thawing tank. When the circulating water is poured in, there are still impurities left in the thawing tank that cannot be removed. Moreover, frequent water replacement during the thawing process will slow down the thawing process and take a long time.

[0003] After retrieval, the Chinese patent publication number is CN212488248U, which discloses a device for meat thawing and cleaning. This patent adopts the structure of a lift and a sliding plate, enabling the sieve plate to continuously lift and lower in the box. Cooperating with the filter plate on the sieve plate, when rising, the bottom filter plate opens and the upper filter plate closes to discharge the brine with impurities; when descending, the upper filter plate opens and the bottom filter plate closes, and the brine with impurities can also be discharged. The water inlet holes on both sides can continuously supply brine and filter out the impurities, solving the problem that the impurities in the existing device box are not cleaned thoroughly, which may affect the health of the meat. And continuously rising and falling in the water speeds up the thawing speed of the frozen meat and improves the thawing efficiency. When the frozen meat is thawed in the utility model, the sliding plate can be lifted above by the lifting motor to discharge the brine therein. If there are impurities on the meat, it can be lifted and lowered again to clean the frozen meat until it is clean.

[0004] However, the ice crystals on the surface of the freshly taken out frozen meat may be relatively thick, and it takes a long time for the thawing water to penetrate, resulting in a slow thawing speed. Content of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a meat thawing and cleaning device includes a thawing cylinder 1, a water inlet pipe 101 is welded to one side of the thawing cylinder 1, a drain pipe 102 is welded to the other side of the thawing cylinder 1, a partition 103 is welded between the inner walls of the thawing cylinder 1, a card slot is opened on the top of the thawing cylinder 1, and an electric heating wire 5 is arranged in the wall of the thawing cylinder 1. As the frozen meat thaws, the temperature of the thawing water in the thawing cylinder 1 becomes lower and lower. The electric heating wire 5 heats the liquid in the thawing cylinder 1 to ensure that the thawing water is at a certain temperature, thereby ensuring the thawing efficiency.

[0025] A top cover 2 is placed on the top of the thawing cylinder 1. A number of clamping blocks 201 that cooperate with the clamping grooves are welded to the bottom of the top cover 2. Through the cooperation of the clamping blocks 201 and the clamping grooves, the firmness of the placement of the top cover 2 is improved. A handle 202 is welded to the top of the top cover 2;

[0026] A cleaning mechanism 3 is arranged in the thawing cylinder 1. The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a rotary motor 301 bolted to the inner bottom wall of the thawing cylinder 1. The output end of the rotary motor 301 is connected to a rotating shaft 302 through a coupling. A placement frame 303 is slidably connected to the rotating shaft 302 through splines. The placement frame 303 is mesh-shaped. Sliders 304 are inserted on both sides of the placement frame 303. A chute is formed on the inner wall of the thawing cylinder 1. The chute is composed of a number of arc-shaped ascending sections and arc-shaped descending sections. The other end of the slider 304 is slidably connected in the chute. By the restriction of the chute, the slider 304 is driven to drive the placement frame 303 to move up and down, which can accelerate the flow of the liquid around the frozen meat while cleaning the frozen meat;

[0027] A pressing mechanism 4 is arranged above the cleaning mechanism 3. The pressing mechanism 4 includes a hydraulic cylinder 401 fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cover 2. The bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 401 is fixedly connected to a pressing plate 402. A through hole larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft 302 is formed in the middle of the top of the pressing plate 402 to prevent the rotating shaft 302 from affecting the adjustment of the position of the pressing plate 402. A spring 403 located outside the hydraulic cylinder 401 is connected between the top cover 2 and the pressing plate 402. Because the shape of the chute is certain, the height that the frozen meat can rise is certain. Therefore, by adjusting the height of the pressing plate 402 through the hydraulic cylinder 401, frozen meat of different thicknesses can be pressed.

[0028] Working principle: In the present utility model, first, the meat to be thawed is placed in the placement frame 303, the top cover 2 is covered on the top of the thawing cylinder 1, thawing water is added into the thawing cylinder 1 through the water inlet pipe 101, the rotary motor 301 is started, the rotary motor 301 drives the rotating shaft 302 to drive the placement frame 303 and the slider 304 to rotate. When in the arc-shaped ascending section of the chute, the slider 304 will drive the placement frame 303 to move upward due to the restriction of the chute, so that the frozen meat in the placement frame 303 moves upward and contacts the pressing plate 402. Through the pressing of the pressing plate 402, cracks appear on the surface of the frozen meat, which is convenient for the thawing water to penetrate and promotes the thawing speed of the frozen meat. When in the arc-shaped descending section of the chute, the slider 304 drives the placement frame 303 and the frozen meat to move downward. Through the up and down movement, the flow of the liquid is driven to clean the frozen meat. After the cleaning is completed, the top cover 2 is opened through the handle 202, and the frozen meat is taken out.

[0029] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
