[0029] See also Figures 1 to 4The present invention discloses a pickling device, comprising a pickling barrel 1, a frame 2, a pickling device, a pressure relief valve 4, and a cover 3. The pickling device is disposed within the frame 2, and the pickling barrel 1 is detachably mounted on the frame 2. The pickling barrel 1 is provided with a material port, and the pressure relief valve 4 is disposed on the cover 3. The cover 3 is used to seal the material port, and first limit blocks 11 are disposed on both sides of the material port. The cover 3 is provided with a handle 31 and a second limit block 32. The second limit block 32 is fixed to the cover 3, and the handle 31 passes through the second limit block 32 and can rotate within the second limit block 32. Both ends of the handle 31 are engaged with the first limit block 11. Specifically, the material port is used to place pickled ingredients in or out of the pickling barrel 1, and the pickling barrel 1 is detachably mounted on the frame 2. The pickling device is mounted within the frame 2. The pickling device includes a motor, a transmission mechanism, and other mechanisms that drive the pickling barrel 1 to rotate, ensuring that the pickling seasoning is evenly permeated into the ingredients. When marinating food, a vacuum or low-pressure state is typically created within the marinating cylinder 1 to ensure better and more even marinating. After marinating is complete, a period of time is required before the lid 3 can be opened to remove the food. A pressure relief valve 4 is provided on the lid 3 to more quickly release the pressure within the cylinder. This eliminates the need for manual operation and allows the user to automatically complete the pressure relief process with a simple operation, significantly improving ease of use and safety. The marinating cylinder 1 is provided with first stoppers 11 on both sides, which engage with a handle 31 for secure engagement. The lid 3 is provided with a handle 31 and a second stopper 32, which is secured to the lid 3. The handle 31 extends through the second stopper 32 at both ends and can rotate within the second stopper 32. The engagement between the handle 31 and the first stopper 11 allows the lid 3 to be removably mounted on the marinating cylinder 1, providing a more secure mounting arrangement for the lid 3.

[0030] Preferably, the pressure relief valve 4 is a pull-ring pressure relief valve. The pull-ring pressure relief valve can quickly release the pressure in the barrel in a short time, reducing waiting time and increasing the efficiency of the pickling equipment; the user only needs to pull the pull-ring to quickly open the pressure relief valve, without the need for complicated rotating or pressing operations, thus simplifying the pressure relief process.

[0031] Further, such as Figure 3 The first stopper 11 includes an inlet and outlet section 111 and a locking portion 112. The inlet and outlet section 111 is a rectangular channel, and the locking portion 112 is a vertical semicircular groove. Specifically, the inlet and outlet section 111 is used to guide the handle 31 of the cover 3. The two ends of the handle 31 are pushed into the inlet and outlet section 111. The locking portion 112 is used to fix the handle 31, ensuring that the cover 3 is tightly fixed to the pickling cylinder 1.

[0032] Further, such as Figure 4, a third limiting block 311 with a semicircular cross-section is provided at both ends of the handle 31, and the radius of the third limiting block 311 matches the radius of the engaging portion 112. When closing the pickling device, the user covers the cover body 3 with the material opening and firmly fixes the cover body 3 by means of the handle 31. Specifically, the third limiting blocks 311 provided at both ends of the handle 31 are pushed into the inlet and outlet section 111, and then the handle 31 is rotated and lifted so that the semicircular cross-section of the third limiting block 311 is engaged in the vertical semicircular groove of the engaging portion 112, thereby achieving a tight fixation and sealing of the cover body 3, ensuring that a vacuum or low-pressure state is maintained in the barrel during the pickling process. After the pickling is completed, the user can quickly release the pressure in the barrel by pulling the pressure relief valve 4, and then pull down the handle 31 to rotate the third limiting block 311 in the opposite direction, so that the third limiting block 311 is withdrawn from the vertical semicircular groove of the engaging portion 112, and easily open the cover body 3 to take out the pickled ingredients. This design is not only easy to operate and ensures the reliability and safety of the seal, but also improves the user experience and pickling effect.

[0033] In addition, the design of the entry and exit section 121 and the locking portion 122 allows the handle 31 to be firmly fixed by rotating 90 degrees after being pushed in. Compared with the straight-in and straight-out insertion and locking method, this design is not only easier to operate, but also effectively avoids the disadvantage of weakened locking effect after parts wear, provides a more reliable fixing effect, ensures that the cover body 3 will not loosen or fall off when the device is rotated, and enhances the sealing performance and safety of use.

[0034] Furthermore, a sealing strip (not shown) is provided on the side of the lid 3 facing the pickling barrel 1. The sealing strip is arranged around the circumference of the lid 3. When the lid 3 is closed, the sealing strip is in close contact with the edge of the pickling barrel 1, effectively preventing air from entering the pickling barrel 1, enhancing the sealing performance, and ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the pickling process.

[0035] Furthermore, the lid 3 is provided with a fixing block 33, on which a ball 331 is mounted. Specifically, the handle 31 is divided into a rotating portion 31a and a hand-held portion 31b, with the rotating portion 31a and the hand-held portion 31b being fixed to each other. Furthermore, the third stoppers 311 are provided at both ends of the rotating portion 31a, and the hand-held portion 31b is provided for user operation. To close the lid 3, the user grasps the hand-held portion 31b and rotates the handle 31, causing the third stoppers 311 to engage with the engaging portion 112. Simultaneously, the ball 331 secures the hand-held portion 31b, ensuring a tight seal on the lid 3. When the curing machine is in operation, the curing cylinder 1 is driven to rotate, and the fixing blocks 33 and ball 331 prevent the hand-held portion 31b from falling off, ensuring a tight seal on the lid 3 at all times during rotation.

[0036] Furthermore, the marinating device (not shown) includes a rotating motor (not shown) and an air pump (not shown). Specifically, the motor and air pump are housed within a housing. A corresponding air extraction port for the air pump is provided on the marinating cylinder 1. This port is connected to the air pump via an air pipe. The air pump is used to extract air from the cylinder 1 during the marinating process, creating a vacuum or low-pressure environment to facilitate rapid penetration of the marinade into the food. The rotating motor drives the cylinder 1 to rotate, ensuring even distribution of the marinade. The transmission methods between the rotating motor and the cylinder 1 include, but are not limited to, gear drive, belt drive, and chain drive.

[0037] When operating the pickling device of the present invention, the user first places the ingredients to be pickled and seasonings into the pickling barrel through the material opening. Then, the user aligns the lid 3 with the material opening and pushes the rotating portion 31a of the handle 31 into the inlet and outlet section 111 of the first stopper 11. Next, the user rotates the handle 31 upward, causing the third stopper 311 of the rotating portion 31a to engage with the engaging portion 112. Simultaneously, the handheld portion 31b is secured in the fixing block 33 to prevent it from loosening or falling off during rotation. The locking and fixing of the third fixing blocks 311 at each end of the rotating portion 31a with the first stopper 11 further secures the lid 3 to the pickling barrel 1, ensuring a tight seal between the lid 3 and the pickling barrel 1. The air inside the pickling barrel 1 is then extracted by an air pump, creating a vacuum or low-pressure environment to evenly pickle the ingredients. During the pickling process, the rotating motor transmission drives the pickling barrel 1 to rotate, ensuring even distribution of the marinade. After the marinating is finished, the user first pulls the pull-ring pressure relief valve, which can quickly release the pressure in the cylinder to ensure the safety of the user opening the cover body 3. This process does not require the user to continuously lift the handle to release the pressure, which is more convenient. After the pressure relief is completed, the user first rotates the hand-held part 31b downward to withdraw the hand-held part 31b from the fixed block 33, and pulls the handle 31 to withdraw the third limit blocks 311 at both ends of the rotating part 31a from the engaging part 112, open the cover body 3, and take out the marinated ingredients.

[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.
