Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ham shaping, specifically to a ham binding and shaping operation device. Background Technology

[0002] There are several methods for shaping ham; the following are some common ones:

[0003] Mold setting: First, select a suitable mold based on the shape and size of the ham, such as a ham mold made of stainless steel or food-grade plastic. Then, place the prepared ham raw material into the mold, filling it as evenly as possible to avoid gaps. Finally, place the mold in a refrigerator or other low-temperature environment to allow the ham to gradually solidify and set at a low temperature, which generally takes several hours to about a day, depending on the size and composition of the ham.

[0004] Rope binding and shaping: Prepare some clean and sturdy food-grade ropes. After shaping the ham into a rough ham shape, start from one end of the ham and bind it in a spiral motion towards the other end with the ropes. Make sure the binding is tight, ensuring all parts of the ham fit snugly to achieve the desired shape. After binding, hang the ham in a well-ventilated, cool place to air dry and set naturally. During this process, take care to prevent dust and impurities from contaminating the ham.

[0005] Pressing and shaping: Specialized pressing tools, such as a press plate and weights, can be used. Place the ham on a flat work surface, cover it with the press plate, and then place an appropriate weight on the press plate to apply even pressure, allowing the ham to gradually set under pressure. The pressing time generally ranges from several hours to a day, and the pressure and time can be adjusted as needed according to the condition of the ham.

[0006] Because rope binding and shaping is a low-cost method, it is the first choice for shaping. Analysis revealed that the existing rope binding and shaping is a purely manual operation, requiring personnel to manually lift or suspend the ham. Moreover, the ham needs to be turned over during the rope binding process, making the manual operation quite laborious. Utility Model Content

[0007] Therefore, to address the aforementioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a convenient ham binding and shaping device. Unlike existing ham binding and shaping methods, this device involves first loosening the movable fixing component, flipping open the upper movable block, then placing one end of the ham to be shaped (e.g., the pig's trotter end) into the ham support cylinder, and then placing the other end into the corresponding lower fixing block of the ham fixing seat. The upper movable block is then closed, locking the movable fixing component. At this point, the entire ham is fixed on the shaping platform. The edges and corners of the ham can be manually cleaned as needed. After cleaning, binding and shaping are performed. During binding and shaping, the binding rope is fixed to one end of the ham. Then, a motor drives the entire ham to rotate at a uniform speed on the shaping platform via the ham support rotating shaft. While the ham rotates, the operator pulls the binding rope, starting from one end and spiraling towards the other. Due to the motor's operation, the ham can be quickly and tightly bound, facilitating a tight fit and shaping of all parts. After shaping, the ham can be removed.

[0011] According to the present invention, a ham shaping device is characterized in that the lower fixing block (8-1) is fixed to the left end of the ham support rotating shaft (7).

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The following will be combined with the appendix Figures 1-2 This utility model will be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0018] This utility model provides a ham shaping device, which belongs to the category of binding and shaping auxiliary devices, such as... Figure 1As shown, it can be implemented in the following manner: including a shaping operation platform 1, on which a first support 2 and a second support 3 are fixed. A ham support cylinder 5 is inserted into the first support 2 through a bearing A4. The ham support cylinder 5 can rotate around the first support 2. A ham support rotating shaft 7 is inserted into the second support 3 through a bearing B6. A ham fixing seat 8 is fixedly connected to the left end of the ham support rotating shaft 7. The ham support rotating shaft 7 can rotate around the second support 3.

[0019] The outer end of the ham support rotating shaft 7 is connected to the motor 9, which can drive the entire ham to rotate on the shaping operation platform 1 via the ham support rotating shaft 7.

[0020] The ham holder 8 includes a lower fixed block 8-1 and an upper movable block 8-2. The tail ends of the two are connected by a movable shaft 8-3 to form a rotatable connection. When the two are combined together, they form a hemispherical shape with an internal cavity. A movable fixing component 8-4 is also provided between the lower fixed block 8-1 and the upper movable block 8-2 to lock the two together.

[0021] The lower fixing block 8-1 is fixed to the left end of the ham support rotating shaft 7.

[0022] The upper ends of the first support 2 and the second support 3 are connected to a sleeve rod 11 for setting the binding rope 10, and the binding rope 10 can move on the sleeve rod 11.

[0023] The operation process of this device is as follows: Loosen the movable fixing component 8-4, flip and open the upper movable block 8-2, then place one end of the ham to be shaped (the pig's foot end) into the ham support cylinder 5, and then place the other end into the corresponding lower fixing block 8-1 of the ham fixing seat 8. Then close the upper movable block 8-2 and lock the movable fixing component 8-4. At this time, the entire ham is fixed on the shaping operation platform 1. At this time, the edges and corners of the ham can be manually cleaned as needed. After cleaning, the ham is bound and shaped. When binding and shaping, the binding rope 10 is fixed to one end of the ham. Then, the motor 9 drives the entire ham to rotate at a uniform speed on the shaping operation platform 1 through the ham support rotating shaft 7. While the ham is rotating, the person pulls the binding rope to bind the ham from one end to the other in a spiral shape. Due to the driving of the motor 9, it is convenient to quickly and tightly bind the ham, so as to make the various parts of the ham fit tightly and shape. After shaping, it can be taken out.

[0024] The following are the beneficial effects of implementing this ham shaping device:

[0025] I. Flexible and convenient ham fixing and rotation:

[0026] Ham support and fixing structure: The ham support cylinder and the ham support rotating shaft are respectively mounted in the first and second supports via bearings. This structure allows the ham support components to rotate flexibly, reduces frictional resistance, and ensures the stability of the ham during the shaping process. The ham fixing seat has a special design, consisting of a lower fixed block and an upper movable block connected by a movable shaft to form a flip-up hemispherical structure. The movable fixing component allows for easy and quick fixing of the ham, effectively preventing displacement or detachment of the ham during rotation, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the shaping process.

[0027] Motor-driven rotation: The outer end of the ham support rotating shaft is connected to a motor. The motor can precisely control the rotation speed and direction of the ham support rotating shaft, thereby driving the entire ham to rotate on the shaping platform according to predetermined parameters. This not only improves the efficiency of ham shaping but also enables automated and uniform shaping, ensuring that all parts of the ham receive consistent shaping results, thus contributing to improved appearance quality and overall quality stability.

[0028] II. Multifunctional shaping auxiliary design:

[0029] Sleeve rod and binding rope: The sleeve rod connected to the upper end of the first and second supports is used to set the binding rope, which can move on the sleeve rod. During the ham shaping process, the binding rope can be adjusted in position and tightness as needed to provide additional auxiliary fixation or adjust the shape of the ham. For example, when shaping hams with special shape requirements, the binding rope can be used to shape specific parts of the ham, further enriching the shaping function of the device and improving its adaptability to different shaping needs.

[0030] III. Highly efficient and stable shaping operation platform:

[0031] Overall structural stability: The first and second supports fixed on the shaping platform provide a solid foundation for the entire ham shaping device, ensuring the stability and reliability of each component during operation. The connections between components are tight and reasonable, such as the connections between bearings and supports, and between fixed seats and rotating shafts. This allows the entire device to maintain good working condition even under high-speed rotation or when subjected to large external forces, reducing shaping errors caused by device shaking or loose components, and thus improving the accuracy and quality of ham shaping.

[0032] Improved production efficiency: The design of this device makes ham shaping more efficient and convenient, reducing the time and labor intensity of manual adjustment of the ham's position and shape. Operators only need to fix the ham on the device, and with the help of motor-controlled rotation and binding ropes, they can achieve fast and accurate shaping, greatly shortening the shaping cycle of a single ham. In large-scale ham production, this significantly improves overall production efficiency and reduces production costs.

[0033] 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.
