Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meat product production technology, and in particular to a beef braising equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the traditional process of braising beef, spices are a key ingredient in the seasoning and play a crucial role in the flavor of the final product. To ensure that the spices fully release their aroma and are evenly integrated into the braising liquid, the spices, usually crushed into large pieces, are placed in a cheesecloth bag and then soaked for a certain period of time. Specifically, this step requires immersing the cheesecloth bag containing the spices in water for about 10 minutes, after which it is removed, allowing the effective components of the spices to dissolve to a suitable degree and penetrate into the subsequent braising process.
[0003] However, current methods for handling the soaking process remain manual. Operators need to manually retrieve the gauze bag from the water after a set time. This traditional method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing labor costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a beef braising device, comprising:
[0005] The tank body includes an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer has a cavity for containing a limited amount of the first raw material. The outer layer wraps around the outside of the inner layer, forming a sandwich between the outer layer and the inner layer. A heating device is provided on the lower side of the outer layer, and the heating part of the heating device is located in the sandwich below the inner layer.
[0006] The material box assembly includes a third lifting device, a material box, and a lid. The material box has mesh holes for liquid to enter and exit. The third lifting device drives the material box to move linearly along the axis of the tank. Screws are fixed on both sides of the material box adjacent to the inlet. The screws are set perpendicular to the plane where the inlet of the material box is located. The lid is set corresponding to the inlet of the material box. The lid is perpendicularly penetrated by the screws. The lid and the screws maintain relative sliding. A nut is provided on the side of the lid away from the material box. The nut is threadedly connected to the screws.
[0007] This invention involves placing the spice packet or broth into a container, rotating a nut to push the lid towards the container until the lid surface contacts or is at a preset distance from the container surface. At this point, the spice packet or broth is confined within the container. A third lifting device then lowers the entire container into the inner layer, immersing it in water. After a preset soaking time, the third lifting device raises the container to a preset height, allowing for automatic retrieval of the spice packet or broth, thus reducing labor intensity.
[0008] Furthermore, the material box assembly also includes an elastic element, which is sleeved on the screw and disposed between the box cover and the material box.
[0009] When the lid is squeezed and moves towards the material box, it will compress the elastic element. When the nut is rotated in the opposite direction, the lid will automatically separate from the material box under the restoring action of the elastic element.
[0010] Furthermore, a wetting tank is provided on one side of the accommodating cavity corresponding to the material box. The wetting tank extends along the axial direction of the tank body, and the material box is accommodated in the wetting tank. The material box is driven to move linearly along the extension direction of the wetting tank by a third lifting device.
[0011] By setting up an immersion tank, the material box is kept inside the immersion tank throughout the immersion process, thus avoiding interference with the movement of other components that may be installed.
[0012] Furthermore, the braising equipment also includes a mesh drum assembly, which comprises:
[0013] First lifting device;
[0014] The mesh drum, which has a limited capacity to hold the second raw material, is driven by a first lifting device to move linearly along the axis of the tank.
[0015] Furthermore, the mesh bucket assembly also includes a can lid, and the mesh bucket is fixedly connected to the can lid via a hanging rod.
[0016] Furthermore, the mesh bucket assembly also includes:
[0017] A power unit, which is fixedly mounted on the tank cover;
[0018] The agitator is set inside the mesh barrel, with one end connected to a power device, which drives the agitator to rotate around its own circumference.
[0019] Furthermore, the mesh bucket assembly also includes:
[0020] A second lifting device is fixedly installed on the tank lid;
[0021] The mesh barrel cover is positioned between the tank lid and the mesh barrel cover, and is driven to move linearly along the axis of the mesh barrel by a second lifting device.
[0022] Before braising, the beef is placed into the mesh bucket to a preset weight. Then, the second lifting device lowers the mesh bucket lid to seal the top of the bucket. Subsequently, the first lifting device lowers the entire mesh bucket, submerging it in the braising liquid. This prevents the beef from floating to the surface and causing uneven braising. After braising, the first lifting device raises the mesh bucket to a preset height, lifting the beef out of the container. The second lifting device then raises the mesh bucket lid to separate it from the mesh bucket, allowing the beef to be removed automatically and reducing labor intensity.
[0023] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0024] This invention involves placing the spice packet or broth into a container, rotating a nut to push the lid towards the container until the lid surface contacts or is at a preset distance from the container surface. At this point, the spice packet or broth is confined within the container. A third lifting device then lowers the entire container into the inner layer, immersing it in water. After a preset soaking time, the third lifting device raises the container to a preset height, allowing for automatic retrieval of the spice packet or broth, thus reducing labor intensity.

[0036] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0037] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0038] As described in the background section, current methods for the soaking process remain manual. Operators need to manually remove the gauze bag from the water after a set time. This traditional method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing labor costs, but also often lacks precise time control, resulting in soaking times that may be too long or too short, thus affecting the release of spices and the flavor of the braised beef.
[0039] Example 1:
[0040] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a beef braising device, such as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the brining equipment includes:
[0041] Tank 200, such as Figure 3 As shown, the tank 200 includes an inner layer 220 and an outer layer 210, as... Figure 4As shown, the inner layer has a limited cavity 221 for accommodating the first raw material. The outer layer wraps around the outside of the inner layer, forming a sandwich between the outer and inner layers. A heating device 230 is provided on the lower side of the outer layer, and the heating part of the heating device is located in the sandwich below the inner layer.
[0042] Material box assembly 300, such as Figure 5 As shown, the material box assembly includes a third lifting device 370, a material box 310, and a box cover 320. The material box has mesh holes for liquid to enter and exit. The third lifting device drives the material box 310 to move linearly along the axial direction of the tank. Screws 330 are fixed on both sides of the material box adjacent to the inlet. The screws are set perpendicular to the plane where the inlet of the material box is located. The box cover is set corresponding to the inlet of the material box. The box cover is perpendicularly penetrated by the screws. The box cover and the screws maintain relative sliding. A nut 350 is provided on the side of the box cover away from the material box. The nut is threadedly connected to the screws.
[0043] In this embodiment, the spice packet or spice is placed into the spice box, and the nut is rotated to push the lid towards the spice box until the lid surface contacts or is at a preset distance from the spice box surface. At this time, the spice packet or spice is confined inside the spice box. The third lifting device lowers the entire spice box into the inner layer so that the spice box is submerged in the water in the inner layer. After soaking for a preset time, the third lifting device raises the entire spice box to a preset height, and the spice packet is taken out.
[0044] This embodiment enables the automatic retrieval of spice packets or brine, reducing labor intensity.
[0045] In addition, this embodiment can also be used in conjunction with existing controllers. When the third lifting device lowers the material box to a preset height, the controller starts timing. When the preset time is reached, the controller controls the third lifting device to raise the material box, improving the accuracy of time control and avoiding excessively long or short soaking time that could affect the release of spices and the flavor of the braised beef.
[0046] For example, the third lifting device includes, but is not limited to, cylinders, electric cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, motor-screw transmission structures, motor-gear and rack transmission structures, or other devices capable of driving the material box to move linearly.
[0047] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, the material box assembly may further include an elastic element 340, which is sleeved on the screw and disposed between the box cover and the material box.
[0048] When the lid is squeezed and moves towards the container, it compresses the elastic element. When the nut is rotated in the opposite direction, the lid automatically separates from the container under the restoring action of the elastic element, making it easier for staff to remove the spice packet or spice.
[0049] For example, the elastic element may be a spring, a rubber sleeve, or other component that has a restorative function after compression.
[0050] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, a wetting tank 222 is provided on one side of the accommodating cavity corresponding to the material box. The wetting tank extends along the axial direction of the tank body. The material box is accommodated in the wetting tank. The material box is driven to move linearly along the extension direction of the wetting tank by a third lifting device.
[0051] By setting up an immersion tank, the material box is kept inside the immersion tank throughout the immersion process, thus avoiding interference with the movement of other components that may be installed.
[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the braising equipment also includes a mesh drum assembly 100, such as... Figure 6 As shown in Figure 1, the bucket component includes:
[0053] First lifting device 100;
[0054] The mesh drum 140 is designed to hold a limited amount of the second raw material. The mesh drum is moved linearly along the axial direction of the tank body by a first lifting device.
[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the mesh bucket assembly 100 may further include a can lid 130, and the mesh bucket is fixedly connected to the can lid via a hanging rod 180.
[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, the mesh bucket assembly may further include:
[0057] Power unit 120, which is fixedly installed on the tank cover;
[0058] A mixer 160 is installed inside a mesh tank, with one end connected to a power device. The power device drives the mixer to rotate around its own circumference.
[0059] like Figure 7 As shown, the mesh bucket assembly may further include:
[0060] The second lifting device 170 is fixedly installed on the tank lid;
[0061] The mesh barrel cover 150 is located between the tank cover and the mesh barrel cover. The mesh barrel cover is driven to move linearly along the axis of the mesh barrel by a second lifting device.
[0062] Before braising, the beef is placed into the mesh bucket to a preset weight. Then, the second lifting device lowers the mesh bucket lid to seal the top of the bucket. Subsequently, the first lifting device lowers the entire mesh bucket, submerging it in the braising liquid. This prevents the beef from floating to the surface and causing uneven braising. During the braising process, a power unit drives a stirrer to rotate, mixing the seasonings in the braising liquid evenly and agitating the beef to ensure even heating and prevent it from sticking to the mesh bucket. After braising, the first lifting device raises the mesh bucket to a preset height, lifting the beef out of the bucket. The second lifting device then raises the mesh bucket lid to separate it from the mesh bucket, allowing the beef to be automatically removed, thus reducing labor intensity.
[0063] In this embodiment, the first lifting device is fixed on the ground. The first lifting device includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor-screw transmission structure, a motor-gear and rack transmission structure, or other devices that can drive the can lid to move linearly. The aforementioned power device is connected to the first lifting device, and the power device is driven to slide vertically through the first lifting device, so as to drive the entire mesh bucket to slide vertically.
[0064] In this embodiment, the second lifting device includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor-screw transmission structure, a motor-gear and rack transmission structure, or other devices capable of driving the mesh bucket cover to move linearly. The mesh bucket cover is slidably connected to the stirring shaft, and can also rotate relative to the mesh bucket cover via the shaft.
[0065] In this embodiment, the third lifting device can be fixedly installed on the can lid and moves up and down together with the can lid. Before the beef is fed into the can, the first lifting device lowers the can lid to a preset height so that the mesh bucket assembly moves above the water surface. Then, the third power device drives the material box to descend, so that the material box is submerged in water. After soaking for a preset time, the material box is lifted out of the water surface. Then, the first lifting device drives the mesh bucket to descend. During this process, the third lifting device drives the material box to move towards the can lid. The movement speed is similar to the descent speed of the mesh bucket, so that the material box is kept at a certain height above the water surface in the soaking tank until the mesh bucket is submerged in brine and the can lid is sealed on the can.
[0066] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
