Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marinating technology for braised beef, and in particular to a vacuum seasoning and marinating device for braised beef. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum marinating equipment is a device that marinates food using vacuum technology and specific seasoning solutions. Its main principle is to reduce air pressure in a sealed environment, causing air to be extracted from the food. This vacuum environment accelerates the penetration of the marinade, allowing it to penetrate deeper and more evenly into the food, thus improving the marinating effect and efficiency. Traditional marinating processes for braised beef require a long time, necessitating the use of vacuum marinating equipment to reduce marinating time and increase production efficiency.

[0003] Vacuum marinating equipment can be categorized into several types, including vacuum tumblers, vacuum marinating chambers, and vacuum marinade spraying equipment. Based on different functions and working principles, vacuum marinating equipment can be further classified into vacuum tumblers, vacuum marinating chambers, vacuum marinade spraying equipment, vacuum marinating barrels, integrated vacuum marinating and cooling machines, and multi-functional vacuum marinating equipment. Vacuum tumblers, for example, place meat and seasonings together in a drum under vacuum, utilizing the drum's rotation to promote even penetration of the seasonings into the meat. Because the pores on the surface of the meat expand under vacuum, the seasonings can penetrate deeper into the meat more quickly.

[0004] However, in existing technologies, traditional sealing cap locking structures are usually exposed and in contact with the pickled food. Their simple design also makes them prone to accumulating pickling liquid or impurities at the corners, making them difficult to clean. Furthermore, traditional sealing rings are often designed to fit directly onto the outer wall of the pickling tank, relying solely on the pressure of the lid during sealing. This can easily lead to uneven sealing, making it difficult to maintain a stable vacuum pickling environment, affecting pickling quality and the long-term performance of the equipment. These problems not only reduce the ease of cleaning the equipment but also affect the pickling effect and hygiene safety of the food. Utility Model Content

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a vacuum seasoning and marinating device for braised beef, comprising a frame 1. A drive assembly is installed inside the frame 1 to provide power for rotating the marinating barrel 2, helping the marinating liquid to penetrate the food more evenly. The marinating barrel 2 is rotatably connected inside the frame 1, and the marinating barrel 2 is securely connected to the frame 1 via a connecting block 20, ensuring the stability of the marinating barrel 2 during operation. A connecting block 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the marinating barrel 2, and the connecting block 20 engages with a connecting block 5, ensuring the rotation function of the marinating barrel 2. An air extraction assembly, including a vacuum pump 3, is installed inside the frame 1 to extract air from inside the marinating barrel 2 during the marinating process, creating a vacuum environment to accelerate the marinating process and improve the marinating effect. A connecting ring 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the marinating barrel 2, and the connecting ring 6 and the sealing cap 7 engage tightly, ensuring the sealing of the marinating barrel 2 in a vacuum environment. The top of the pickling barrel 2 is equipped with a lid assembly to further seal the pickling barrel 2 and prevent the pickling liquid from leaking out;

[0034] The capping assembly includes a sealing cap 7, which seals the pickling barrel 2 to ensure a stable vacuum environment. A turntable 8 is rotatably connected inside the sealing cap 7. The turntable 8 is connected to a connecting rod 13 via a connecting rod 10, providing rotation and locking functions for the sealing cap 7. A connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 10, and a limiting plate 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 13. The limiting plate 11 limits the movement range of the sealing cap 7, ensuring precise positioning and reliable locking. A wedge-shaped locking block 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 11. The wedge-shaped locking block 12 engages with a connecting ring 6. When the sealing cap 7 is closed, the wedge-shaped locking block 12 securely locks the sealing cap 7 through the locking structure, preventing it from loosening. A reset assembly, including a spring 14, is provided on the outer wall of the connecting rod 13. The spring 14 helps the connecting rod 13 return to its original position after operation, ensuring the stability and reliability of the device. One end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 9, and the other end is fixedly connected to the other side of the limiting plate 11, so that the wedge-shaped locking block 12 can quickly return to its original position during use, preventing the locking block from being misaligned. The drive assembly includes a motor 4, which provides power and transmits the power to the marinating barrel 2 through connecting block 1 5, thereby realizing the rotation of the marinating barrel 2. The outer wall of the motor 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1 to ensure that the motor 4 is firmly installed and to prevent vibration during operation. Connecting block 1 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4. Connecting block 1 5 and connecting block 2 20 are fitted together. The fitting design ensures a stable connection between the two and ensures smooth power transmission between the marinating barrel 2 and the drive device when it rotates. The air extraction assembly includes a vacuum pump 3, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the frame 1. The vacuum pump 3 is connected to the marinating barrel 2 through its input end. By extracting air from the marinating barrel 2, it provides a low-oxygen environment for marinating, improving the marinating effect, especially playing a key role in the degree of flavor penetration of ingredients such as beef.

[0035] Specifically, when installing the pickling barrel 2, one end of the pickling barrel 2 is first precisely connected to the connecting block 5 via connecting block 20 to ensure a stable connection and prevent loosening during operation. The other end of the pickling barrel 2 is securely mounted on the frame 1 to maintain the stability of the equipment. Subsequently, when it is necessary to close the pickling barrel 2, the sealing cover 7 is installed at the opening of the pickling barrel 2 and precisely positioned. Next, by rotating the turntable 8, the turntable 8 drives the connecting rod 10, which in turn drives one end of the connecting rod 13, causing the wedge-shaped locking block 12 to retract into the sealing cover 7 with the assistance of the spring 14. The wedge-shaped locking block 12 plays a precise locking role during the retraction process, ensuring that the sealing cover 7 fits perfectly during the closing process and preventing air leakage. After the sealing cover 7 is fully installed, the turntable 8 is released, and the wedge-shaped locking block 12 automatically resets with the support of the tension of the spring 14, embedding the wedge-shaped locking block 12 into the sealing cover 7, further locking the sealing cover 7 and ensuring the airtightness of the inside of the pickling barrel 2. This design significantly improves sealing and facilitates cleaning of the inner and outer surfaces of the sealing cap 7, ensuring the hygiene and ease of operation of the equipment. Next, the vacuum pump 3 effectively extracts air from the marinating tank 2 through its input end, creating a vacuum environment and enhancing the marinating effect. The output end of the vacuum pump 3 discharges the extracted air, and its separation from the marinating tank 2 ensures that the marinating process is unaffected by external air. Finally, the output end of the motor 4 drives the connecting block 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotation of the marinating tank 2 through the connecting block 20, ensuring that the ingredients inside the marinating tank 2 are marinated evenly under vacuum, guaranteeing the seasoning effect and stable quality of the ingredients.

[0036] Reference Figure 5 The sealing cap 7 has a connecting groove 15 inside to receive the connecting ring 17, ensuring a secure connection. A protruding ring 16 is fixedly connected inside the sealing cap 7. The protruding ring 16 fits tightly with the connecting ring 17 in the connecting groove 15, providing a precise locking structure that allows the sealing cap 7 to maintain a stable position when closed, preventing loosening or displacement due to external forces. A connecting ring 17 is located at the bottom of the sealing cap 7, fitting into the connecting groove 15, further enhancing the sealing cap 7's fastening performance and ensuring it is firmly fixed to the pickling barrel 2 during operation, preventing leakage of the pickling liquid. A sealing ring 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ring 17. The sealing ring 18 provides additional sealing protection, ensuring airtightness between the inside of the pickling barrel 2 and the external environment, preventing leakage of the vacuum environment. The bottom of the sealing ring 18 fits against the outer wall of the marinating barrel 2. When the sealing cover 7 is closed, the sealing ring 18 fits tightly against the outer wall of the marinating barrel 2, effectively isolating air and ensuring that the vacuum state inside the marinating barrel 2 remains unchanged. The connecting ring 17 has a groove 19 inside, which fits into the convex ring 16. This locking structure provides a precise positioning function when the sealing cover 7 is installed, further improving the sealing performance between the sealing cover 7 and the marinating barrel 2, and avoiding problems such as poor sealing and air leakage caused by improper installation.

[0037] Specifically, the sealing performance between the sealing cap 7 and the pickling barrel 2 is effectively guaranteed by a high-quality sealing ring 18. The sealing ring 18 is embedded and securely connected to the connecting groove 15 of the pickling barrel 2 via a precisely designed connecting ring 17, forming a tight seal at the interface between the sealing ring 18 and the pickling barrel 2. The connecting ring 17 has a precise groove 19, while the sealing cap 7 has a corresponding protruding ring 16. Their interlocking further enhances the seal between the sealing ring 18 and the sealing cap 7. This design not only ensures that the liquid will not leak from any gaps during the pickling process, preventing liquid contamination of the external environment, but also ensures that the vacuum state during the pickling process is not affected, thereby improving the operational reliability and sealing performance of the entire pickling equipment. Through this sealing structure, the internal environment of the pickling barrel 2 is kept constant, avoiding any interference from external air, greatly improving the pickling effect and the durability of the equipment, and ensuring that the food is pickled in its optimal condition.

[0038] Working principle: When using this braised beef vacuum seasoning and marinating equipment, when first installing the marinating barrel 2, one end of the marinating barrel 2 is connected to the connecting block 5 through the connecting block 20, and the other end of the marinating barrel 2 is mounted on the frame 1. Then, when the marinating barrel 2 is closed, the sealing cover 7 is installed in the connecting ring 6. Then, the turntable 8 is rotated, and the wedge-shaped locking block 12 at one end of the connecting rod 13 is driven by the connecting rod 10 to retract into the sealing cover 7. After the sealing cover 7 is installed in place, the turntable 8 is released, and the wedge-shaped locking block 12 is supported by the tension of the spring 14, which drives the wedge-shaped locking block 12 to reset and thus embed the wedge-shaped locking block 12 into the connecting ring 6 to lock the sealing cover 7, which facilitates the cleaning of the sealing cover 7. Then, the vacuum pump 3 input end extracts the air in the marinating barrel 2 and discharges it from the vacuum pump 3 output end. Then, the vacuum pump 3 separates the input end from the marinating barrel 2, and the motor 4 output end drives the connecting block 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the marinating barrel 2 to rotate and marinate through the connecting block 20.

[0039] In addition, the seal between the sealing cap 7 and the pickling barrel 2 is achieved by the sealing ring 18. The sealing ring 18 is connected by the connecting ring 17 embedded in the connecting groove 15. Then, the connecting ring 17 is fitted with the protruding ring 16 on the sealing cap 7 through the internal groove 19, which further improves the sealing performance between the sealing ring 18 and the sealing cap 7, prevents liquid from leaking from the gap, and achieves the effect of improving the sealing performance.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
