Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing, and particularly relates to a multi-compartment pickling machine. Background Art

[0002] As a type of food processing equipment, a marinating machine is mainly used to evenly apply seasonings, spices, and other materials to food ingredients to enhance their flavor. A marinating machine can speed up the marinating process, allowing the flavor of the seasonings to quickly blend into the food, while ensuring that each piece of food is evenly marinated. Existing marinating machines are usually equipped with only one marinating cylinder, which means that only one type of food can be processed during operation, and this cylinder is often large in size. When the order volume is small, such a design leads to a waste of resources. If multiple independent compartments can be set up in the marinating cylinder, then when the order volume is large or when multiple flavors of food need to be marinated at the same time, more food ingredients can be processed simultaneously, or all marinating space can be fully utilized for production. When the order volume is small, a single compartment can be used for marinating, which is not only more energy-efficient and efficient, but also easier to clean. Therefore, improvements are needed.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 3The embodiment of the present invention discloses a multi-chamber pickling machine, including a frame 10 and a pickling barrel 20. One end of the frame 10 is provided with a device box 11, and the other end of the frame 10 is provided with a support frame 12; a motor (not shown) is installed in the device box 11, and a coupling 13 is provided at one end of the device box 11 close to the support frame 12, and a transmission connection is adopted between the motor and the coupling 13. A controller (not shown) for controlling various components in the pickling machine is also provided in the device box 11; the pickling barrel 20 is a cylindrical body, and at least one partition 21 is provided inside the pickling barrel 20. The partition 21 divides the interior of the pickling barrel 20 into at least two pickling chambers 22, and each pickling chamber 22 is provided with a hatch 23; a first rotating shaft 24 passes through the end surface of the pickling barrel 20, one end of the first rotating shaft 24 is detachably connected to the coupling 13, and the other end is mounted on the support frame 12; the controller controls the rotation of the motor, thereby transmitting the coupling 13 to enable the pickling barrel 20 to achieve rotational movement. Specifically, a first rotating shaft 24 extends through and is fixed to both ends of the curing barrel 20. When the first rotating shaft 24 is rotated by an external force, the curing barrel 20 rotates about the first rotating shaft 24. A transmission connection is provided between the motor and coupling 13 within the device housing 11. When the motor rotates, it drives the coupling 13, and the first rotating shaft 24 of the curing barrel 20 engages with the coupling 13, thereby rotating the curing barrel 20. Furthermore, a partition 21 within the curing barrel 20 divides the barrel 20 into at least two curing compartments 22. Each compartment 22 is isolated from the others to prevent flavor transfer between foods of different flavors. When the store has a small number of orders, the clerk only needs to use one marinating chamber 22 for marinating. The ingredients and seasonings are placed in a certain marinating chamber 22 without dirtying the entire marinating cylinder 20. The marinating machine is started to rotate the marinating cylinder 20 for marinating, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning of the marinating cylinder 20. When the store has a large number of orders, or ingredients of various flavors need to be marinated, the clerk can place the ingredients in different marinating chambers 22 and put in the corresponding seasonings. The marinating machine is started to rotate the marinating cylinder 20 for marinating. Each marinating chamber 22 is independent of each other, which avoids odor cross-contamination, saves time, and is more efficient.

[0028] Furthermore, a slanted console 111 is provided on the surface of the device box 11, and components such as a display screen and function buttons are provided on the slanted console 111. The clerk can perform basic interactions on the slanted console 111. The slanted console 111 is tilted at a certain angle to the horizontal plane, and the tilt angle is preferably 30°-45°, which is convenient for staff to operate.

[0029] Furthermore, a vacuum pump (not shown) is provided in the device box 11, and a first exhaust head 30 extends from the surface of the device box 11. A second exhaust head 221 is provided on the body of each curing chamber 22. The first exhaust head 30 and the second exhaust head 221 are connected by a hose. Specifically, the vacuum pump creates a low-pressure environment in the curing chamber 22 to accelerate the curing process. It can also remove air from the curing barrel, reduce the formation of bubbles, and prevent air in the marinade from hindering the uniform distribution of the marinade. In addition, under vacuum conditions, the food can more easily absorb the moisture and seasoning in the marinade, thereby improving the taste and flavor of the food. Each curing chamber 22 is provided with a second exhaust head 221, which allows the vacuum pump to evacuate the interior of a specific curing chamber 22 separately.

[0030] Furthermore, the curing machine of the present invention further comprises a timing device (not shown), which stops the rotation of the curing cylinder 20 when the curing time is reached.

[0031] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the body of the pickling cylinder 20 is provided with a cut surface 25 , and the hatch 23 is provided at the cut surface 25 .

[0032] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, it also includes a first stopper 231, a second stopper 251, and a handle 232. The first stopper 231 is located on the hatch 23 and has a ball bearing downwardly disposed thereon. The second stopper 251 is located on the cut surface 25 of the body of the curing cylinder 20 and is used to secure the hatch 23 to the curing cylinder 20. The second stopper 251 has an opening downwardly disposed thereon, and both ends of the handle 232 can be inserted into or removed from the second stopper 251. To open the hatch 23, the clerk grasps the handle 232, rotates it away from the first stopper 231, and then moves the handle 232 downward to remove the hatch 23. To close the hatch 23, the clerk positions the hatch 23 over the curing chamber 22, securing it to the second stopper 251, and then rotates the handle 232 to engage it within the first stopper 231. Limiting blocks are respectively provided on the hatch 23 and the cutting surface 25 for clamping the handle 232, so as to make the structure more stable and prevent the pickling cylinder 20 from falling off during rotation.

[0033] Furthermore, the support frame 12 is provided with a third stopper 121, and the first rotating shaft 24 is limited to rotate within the third stopper 121. Specifically, the stopper 121 has a downwardly concave arc surface. When the first rotating shaft 24 is driven to rotate, the stopper 121 prevents the first rotating shaft 24 from disengaging from the frame 10, thereby ensuring stable operation of the pickling machine.

[0034] Furthermore, exhaust valves 26 are provided on each hatch 23. Specifically, the exhaust valves 26 can quickly release the vacuum state in each curing chamber 22 and restore the normal pressure environment, eliminating the need for staff to wait for a long time, facilitating the opening of the hatch 23 of the curing chamber 22 and removing the ingredients. Furthermore, the exhaust valves 26 serve as safety protection devices to prevent accidents caused by excessive pressure. Furthermore, staff can also adjust the vacuum level in the curing chamber 22 through the exhaust valves 26.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, handles 27 are also provided at both ends of the pickling barrel 20. When the clerk needs to clean the pickling barrel 20, he holds the handle 27 and unloads it from one end of the support frame 12. The handle 27 is convenient for the user to load or disassemble the barrel.

[0036] Furthermore, the frame 10 is further provided with a placement table 40 between the device box 11 and the support frame 12. Specifically, the placement table 40 is directly below the pickling barrel 20, and the user can place a receiving bucket on the placement table 40 to receive the food taken out of the pickling cabin 22 after pickling is completed.

[0037] Taking a dual-compartment pickling cylinder as an example, the present invention provides a multi-compartment pickling machine operating as follows: When demand is low, a shop assistant pickles a flavor of food. The food is placed into one of the pickling chambers 22, topped with the appropriate seasonings, the chamber door 23 is closed, and the handle 232 engages the first stopper 231 and the second stopper 251. A hose is connected between the first vacuum pump head 30 and the second vacuum head 221 of the pickling chamber 22. The corresponding operation is performed on the inclined control console 111. First, the air in the pickling chamber 22 is extracted, and then the motor is activated, rotating the pickling cylinder 20 about the first rotation axis 24 to start pickling. The user can adjust the timer to keep track. Assuming that the current pickling timer requires 25 minutes, if after 15 minutes of pickling, an increase in orders or a need to pickle a different flavor of food is detected, the pickling machine is paused on the inclined control console 111. At this point, the timer records the remaining ten minutes of processing time for the current food. The clerk puts new ingredients into another curing chamber 22 and restarts the curing machine. When the first ingredient is finished curing, the curing machine gives a corresponding prompt. The clerk can pause the curing machine to take out the first ingredient, or wait for the second ingredient to be cured before taking it out together (after the first ingredient is cured, a short soaking time will not affect the taste). The utility model is equipped with multiple curing chambers 22. When the order volume is small, only one curing chamber 22 is needed, which will not dirty the environment inside the entire curing cylinder 20 and is easy to clean. When the order volume is large or there is a need to curate ingredients of multiple flavors at the same time, the curing machine with multiple chambers can curate ingredients of multiple flavors at the same time, saving curing time and being more efficient.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
