Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chicken processing technology, specifically relating to a meat product thawing and pretreatment device. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken contains vitamins C and E, and has a high proportion of protein with many different types. It is also highly digestible and easily absorbed and utilized by the human body, which can enhance physical strength and build a strong body. In addition, it contains phospholipids, which play an important role in human growth and development, and is one of the important sources of fat and phospholipids in the Chinese diet.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN213847063U discloses a rapid chicken defrosting device, including a defrosting tank with an outer heat-insulating cover. The outer heat-insulating cover has a hollow structure, and a water inlet pipe communicating with its interior is located on the right side of the heat-insulating cover. A telescopic side seat is fixed to the front right wall of the defrosting tank, and a linear push rod motor is detachably connected to the left side wall of the telescopic side seat. This utility model uses a disturbing scraper to rapidly defrost the chicken during the defrosting process, improving heat contact efficiency. The heating base contains ceramic semiconductor PTC heating tubes arranged in a straight line at equal intervals, which can maintain the temperature in the hot water. This constant-temperature defrosting further improves the defrosting rate of the chicken, solving the technical problems of existing chicken defrosting devices that use air-heat defrosting at room temperature, resulting in slow defrosting speeds and the potential for leaving impurities.

[0004] The above application documents also have shortcomings: although heating can achieve the purpose of quickly thawing chicken, when the temperature of the water is higher than the temperature required for thawing, bacteria are prone to grow on the chicken meat, which will affect the meat quality and taste.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides the following technical solution: a meat product thawing pretreatment device, including a workbench 1, a cold water tank 2 fixedly connected to the workbench 1, the cold water tank 2 installed in an installation groove provided on the workbench 1, a connecting plate 10 fixedly connected between the side wall of the cold water tank 2 and the workbench 1, a cold brine pipe 3 fixedly provided on the side wall of the cold water tank 2, a tank cover 4 fixedly provided on the top of the cold water tank 2, and a feed hopper 5 fixedly provided on the tank cover 4. After the chicken to be thawed is poured into the cold water tank 2 through the feed hopper 5, cold brine is injected into the cold water tank 2 so that the cold brine comes into contact with the chicken. The method of thawing the chicken with cold brine is replaced by the method of thawing the chicken with heat, avoiding the impact of the thawing temperature on the meat quality and taste.

[0027] The cold water tank 2 is equipped with a temperature detector. The temperature detector can detect the temperature of the cold water in the cold water tank 2 in real time. When the temperature of the cold brine exceeds the normal temperature, the cold brine in the cold water tank 2 can be discharged from the cold water tank 2. At the same time, new cold brine can be injected into the cold water tank 2. In this process of circulating and discharging cold brine, the temperature of the cold brine in the cold water tank 2 can be reduced.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to improve the defrosting efficiency of chicken, a motor 6 is fixedly connected to the lid 4. The output shaft of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to a stirring shaft 7. The other end of the stirring shaft 7 extends into the cold water tank 2 and is rotatably connected to the cold water tank 2. A stirring drum 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the stirring shaft 7. Several stirring plates 9 are fixedly connected at intervals on the side wall of the stirring drum 8. The area between two adjacent stirring plates 9 forms a meat product placement cavity. By rotating the stirring shaft 7, the stirring drum 8 drives the stirring plates 9 to rotate, which can push the chicken in the cold water tank 2 to move, avoiding the accumulation of chicken inside the cold water tank 2 after it is poured into the cold water tank 2, thus facilitating full contact between the chicken and the cold brine.

[0030] The stirring plate 9 has a mesh structure, which allows the cold brine to flow freely in the cold water tank 2 and also pushes the chicken to move within the cold water tank 2.

[0031] The bottom of the cold water tank 2 is symmetrically provided with two discharge slots, and each discharge slot is rotatably connected with a discharge plate 11. The other end of the discharge plate 11 is fixedly connected to the cold water tank 2 by a locking device. Through the discharge slots and discharge plates 11, during the thawing of the chicken, the two discharge plates 11 cooperate with each other to seal the bottom of the cold water tank 2. After the chicken is thawed, the discharge plates 11 can be opened to allow the chicken in the cold water tank 2 to be poured out of the cold water tank 2, thereby improving the discharge efficiency of the chicken.

[0032] The locking components include a first locking plate 12 and a second locking plate 13. The first locking plate 12 is fixedly connected to the feeding plate 11, and the second locking plate 13 is fixedly connected to the cold water tank 2. The second locking plate 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first locking plate 12. In some embodiments, the second locking plate 13 and the first locking plate 12 can be fixedly connected by means of pins or bolts. By detaching and installing the first locking plate 12 onto the second locking plate 13, the bottom of the cold water tank 2 can be sealed, and the thawed chicken can be fed out.

[0033] The discharge plate 11 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 14, and the discharge pipe 14 is equipped with a control valve. Through the discharge pipe 14 and the control valve, the cold brine in the cold water tank 2 can be discharged from the cold water tank 2.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to collect and treat the cold brine discharged from the cold water tank 2, a collection box 15 is fixedly installed in the workbench 1. The collection box 15 is located below the cold water tank 2, and a collection trough is provided on the top of the collection box 15. A filter plate 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the collection trough. The cold brine can be collected and treated uniformly through the collection box 15, and the chicken meat poured out of the cold water tank 2 can be collected through the filter plate 16, which makes it convenient for workers to process the chicken meat and also allows for water control of the chicken meat.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The chicken to be thawed is poured into the feeding hopper 5, so that the chicken enters the cold water tank 2 through the feeding hopper 5. During the process of pouring the chicken, the stirring plate 9 is driven to rotate by the motor 6, and the chicken is put into the meat placement cavity in sequence. Then, cold brine is injected into the cold water tank 2 through the cold brine pipe 3. After the cold brine is injected to a suitable height, the motor 6 is started to rotate, so that the stirring shaft 7 drives the stirring drum 8 and the stirring plate 9 to rotate. Under the rotation of the stirring plate 9, the chicken in the meat placement cavity can be moved.

[0037] After the chicken is thawed, the control valve can be opened first to allow the cold brine to drain into the collection tank 15 through the drain pipe 14. After the cold brine is drained, the feed plate 11 can be opened. At this time, the chicken in the cold water tank 2 will fall onto the filter plate 16 in sequence.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
