The feeding component includes a first support 11, a first flipping support 12, a first telescopic cylinder 13, a feeding hopper 14, and a traveling unit 15. The first flipping support 12 is rotatably connected to the first support 11.

The feeding hopper 14 is connected to the first flipping support 12, and the traveling unit 15 is connected to the bottom of the first support 11. The marinating component includes a second support 21, a second flipping support 22, a second telescopic cylinder 23, and a marinating cylinder 24. The second flipping support 22 is rotatably connected to the second support 21. One end of the second telescopic cylinder 23 is connected to the second support 21, and the other end is connected to the second flipping support 22. The marinating cylinder 24 is rotatably connected to the second flipping support 22. The positioning assembly includes a positioning cylinder 31, a positioning rod 32, an end cap 33, a first spring 34, a locking rod 35, and a limiting cylinder 36. The positioning cylinder 31 is connected to the first bracket 11 and has a through hole inside. The positioning rod 32 is slidably connected in the through hole of the positioning cylinder 31 and has a limiting block 3201 on it. The end cap 33 is connected to the opening of the through hole of the positioning cylinder 31. The first spring 34 is connected between the limiting block 3201 and the positioning cylinder 31 and is located between the end cap 33 and the first spring 34. One end of the locking rod 35 is hinged to the positioning cylinder 31 and the other end has a positioning block 3501. The limiting cylinder 36 is connected to the second bracket 21 and the positioning cylinder 31 and the positioning rod 32 are compatible. The limiting cylinder 36 has a positioning groove that is compatible with the positioning block 3501 of the locking rod 35. The positioning block 3501 has an inclined surface on the side near the limiting cylinder 36.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first support 11 is a metal support component with a rectangular frame structure, optionally welded from stainless steel or carbon steel, used to support the first tilting support 12 and the first telescopic cylinder 13 of the feeding assembly and to provide overall stability. The root of the first tilting support 12 is connected to the first support 11 via a rotating shaft, and the end is fixed to the feeding hopper 14. The tilting and pouring action of the feeding hopper 14 is achieved by the reciprocating motion of the piston rod of the first telescopic cylinder 13. The feeding hopper 14 adopts a top-opening conical hopper structure. Preferably, the inner wall is provided with a wear-resistant coating for temporarily storing the pickling powder and completing the quantitative feeding through tilting. The traveling unit 15 consists of four sets of universal wheels and a braking mechanism, installed at the four corners of the bottom of the first support 11 to realize the overall movement and positioning locking of the device.

[0040] The second support 21 is a metal support component with a rectangular frame structure, optionally welded from stainless steel or carbon steel. It supports the second tilting support 22 and the second telescopic cylinder 23 for the marinating components and provides overall stability. Marinating cylinders 24 are mounted at both ends of the second tilting support 22 via bearings. Preferably, the marinating cylinder 24 is a cylindrical stainless steel container with a sealed cap, and its inner wall can be provided with spiral guide vanes to enhance the tumbling effect. The second telescopic cylinder 23 is fixed to the side of the second support 21, and its piston rod is hinged to the second tilting support 22. Through telescopic movement, it drives the marinating cylinder 24 to switch between an inclined loading position and a horizontal marinating position.

[0041] In the positioning assembly, the positioning cylinder 31 is a hollow cylinder vertically fixed to the side of the first bracket 11. The positioning rod 32 is a columnar rod with a limiting block 3201 at its end, which is slidably fitted inside the positioning cylinder 31. The limiting block 3201 cooperates with the first spring 34 to limit the sliding stroke and provide a docking buffer function. The end cap 33 is used to close the top opening of the positioning cylinder 31. The two ends of the first spring 34 abut against the limiting block 3201 and the positioning cylinder 31, respectively. The locking rod 35 is an L-shaped lever mechanism. Its end is hinged to the outer wall of the positioning cylinder 31 by a pin, and the other end is welded with a positioning block 3501. The contact surface of the positioning block 3501 is provided with a guide slope so that the positioning block 3501 can climb from the outer surface of the positioning rod 32 to the outer surface of the limiting cylinder 36 and engage with the positioning groove. The limiting cylinder 36 is a short tube component welded to the second bracket 21. A rectangular groove matching the shape of the positioning block 3501 is opened on its outer circumference as a positioning groove. When the feeding component aligns with the marinating component, the positioning rod 32 abuts against the bottom of the limiting cylinder 36, and the positioning rod 32 moves to the right, causing the limiting block 3201 to compress the first spring 34. The positioning rod 32 slides into the positioning cylinder 31, thereby shortening the distance between the limiting cylinder 36 and the positioning cylinder 31. At this time, the positioning block 3501 of the locking rod 35 slides into the positioning groove on the limiting cylinder 36, thus forming a stable positioning connection between the feeding component and the marinating component. After feeding is completed, the locking rod 35 is moved to unlock.

[0042] The meat product marinating and feeding device provided in this embodiment achieves efficient and stable marinating and feeding operations through the synergistic effect of its components. The feeding component utilizes the casters and braking mechanism of the traveling unit 15 to achieve flexible movement and fixation of the entire device. It works in conjunction with the first telescopic cylinder 13 to drive the first tilting bracket 12, which in turn drives the feeding hopper 14 to perform a precise tilting action. The feeding hopper 14 adopts a top-opening conical hopper structure, which reduces powder residue and ensures uniform quantitative feeding. The marinating component controls the second tilting bracket 22 via the second telescopic cylinder 23, which moves the marinating cylinder 24 between the loading position and the marinating position. The device employs a spring-returned positioning rod 32 and a beveled locking rod 35 working in tandem. When the feeding component aligns with the marinating component, the positioning rod 32 abuts against the bottom of the limiting cylinder 36, and moves to the right, causing the limiting block 3201 to compress the first spring 34. The positioning rod 32 slides into the positioning cylinder 31, shortening the distance between the limiting cylinder 36 and the positioning cylinder 31. At this time, the positioning block 3501 of the locking rod 35 slides into the positioning groove on the limiting cylinder 36, thus forming a stable positioning connection between the feeding component and the marinating component. After feeding is completed, the locking rod 35 is activated to unlock the device. This device significantly improves feeding accuracy and operational stability through mechanical linkage and precise coordination of the positioning component, while reducing the labor intensity of manual adjustments.

[0043] In some embodiments, the positioning component further includes a limiting pin 37 and a connecting rope 38. The end cap 33 is provided with a pin hole, and the positioning rod 32 is provided with a limiting hole. The limiting hole is adapted to the limiting pin 37. The limiting pin 37 is slidably connected in the limiting hole of the positioning rod 32, and the top of the limiting pin 37 is connected to the middle of the locking rod 35 through the connecting rope 38.

[0044] In this embodiment, the ease of operation and locking reliability of the positioning component are further optimized by adding a linkage structure between the limiting pin 37 and the connecting rope 38. Under normal conditions (non-docking state), the limiting pin 37 is inserted into the limiting hole of the positioning rod 32, forming a rigid constraint on the sliding freedom of the positioning rod 32, effectively preventing accidental displacement of the positioning rod 32 due to external force or vibration during non-operational states. When a locking operation is required, during the rotation of the locking rod 35, the connecting rope 38 generates a traction effect with the rotation of the locking rod 35, causing the limiting pin 37 to slide upwards along the limiting hole of the positioning rod 32 until it is completely disengaged. At this time, the positioning rod 32 regains its sliding ability, allowing it to smoothly retract into the positioning cylinder 31, thereby shortening the distance between the two components until the positioning block 3501 of the locking rod 35 precisely aligns with the positioning groove of the limiting cylinder 36.

[0045] This embodiment achieves automatic unlocking of the limit pin 37 and synchronous switching of the movement state of the positioning rod 32 through mechanical linkage. This avoids the tedious steps of manually operating the limit pin 37, and the optimized traction path of the connecting rope 38 ensures precise matching between the rotation angle of the locking rod 35 and the lifting height of the limit pin 37. This significantly improves the continuity and positioning stability of the locking mechanism, while reducing the risk of component misalignment due to human error. Ultimately, it achieves a fast and reliable rigid connection between the feeding component and the marinating component.

[0046] In some embodiments, the other end of the locking lever 35 hinge point is provided with a handle 3502.

[0047] In this embodiment, a handle 3502 is added to the other end of the hinge point of the locking rod 35. Force can be applied directly by gripping the handle 3502, allowing the locking rod 35 to be moved more effortlessly and precisely, thus smoothly disengaging the positioning block 3501 from the positioning groove of the limiting cylinder 36. This embodiment reduces the risk of insufficient or excessive rotation angle of the locking rod 35 due to deviations in the direction of force applied during manual operation. It also avoids direct contact between the hand and the sharp parts of the locking rod 35, improving operational safety and enhancing the control precision of the rotation amplitude of the locking rod 35 through leverage. This ensures a more stable and reliable rigid engagement between the positioning block 3501 and the positioning groove, thereby improving the locking efficiency of the component.

[0048] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly further includes a second spring 39 connected between the locking lever 35 handle 3502 and the positioning cylinder 31.

[0049] In this embodiment, a second spring 39 is added between the handle 3502 of the locking rod 35 and the positioning cylinder 31. By pressing down the handle 3502, the locking rod 35 can be driven to rotate around the hinge point, causing the positioning block 3501 to overcome the elastic resistance of the second spring 39 and engage in the positioning groove of the limiting cylinder 36. After releasing the handle, the second spring 39 automatically resets the locking rod 35 to its initial position. This structure utilizes the elastic potential energy of the spring to assist in completing the locking and unlocking actions, which simplifies the operation steps and balances the force applied by the hand through the reverse force of the spring, avoiding misalignment of the positioning block 3501 and the positioning groove due to excessive pressing, ensuring that the locking process is smooth and controllable and the reset is accurate and reliable.

[0050] In some embodiments, the connecting rope 38 is an iron chain.

[0051] In this embodiment, by setting the connecting rope 38 as an iron chain, its tensile deformation resistance and corrosion resistance are improved. When the limiting pin 37 slides along the limiting hole of the positioning rod 32 under the rigid traction of the iron chain, the action is more stable and reliable. The rigid structure of the iron chain avoids the sliding delay or deviation caused by the elasticity or entanglement of the traditional flexible connecting rope 38, ensuring that the rotation angle of the locking rod 35 is strictly matched with the lifting height of the limiting pin 37. At the same time, the wear-resistant properties of the iron chain extend the service life of the linkage structure, reduce the risk of locking failure caused by wear of the connecting parts, and further improve the accuracy and reliability of component alignment and locking operation.

[0052] In some embodiments, the meat product marinating and feeding device further includes a control component, which includes a controller and a proximity switch. The controller is connected to the first bracket 11, and the proximity switch is connected to the opening of the through hole of the positioning cylinder 31 in the direction away from the positioning rod 32. The controller is electrically connected to the first telescopic cylinder 13 and communicatively connected to the proximity switch.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the limiting pin 37 moves with the positioning rod 32 to the opening of the through hole of the positioning cylinder 31 away from the positioning rod 32, the proximity switch detects the position signal in real time and feeds it back to the controller. The controller immediately cuts off the power output of the first telescopic cylinder 13, causing the telescopic rod to stop moving and ensuring that the limiting pin 37 accurately stops at the preset position. When the limiting pin 37 leaves the area, the controller automatically restarts the first telescopic cylinder 13 to drive the telescopic rod to reset. This embodiment eliminates the subjective error of manually judging the start and stop timing of the telescopic cylinder, effectively improving the alignment accuracy between the pickling container and the feeding port. At the same time, it reduces operation delay through real-time monitoring and rapid response, avoiding equipment wear or positioning failure caused by overtravel. Furthermore, the controller and proximity switch are integrated on the first bracket 11 and the positioning cylinder 31, requiring no additional space and ensuring the compactness and coordination of the device structure.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first telescopic cylinder 13 and the second telescopic cylinder 23 are electric cylinders.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first telescopic cylinder 13 and the second telescopic cylinder 23 employ electric cylinders to improve their stroke control accuracy. The controller can precisely adjust the telescopic amount of the electric cylinder based on the feedback signal from the proximity switch, ensuring that the alignment action of the limit pin 37 and the through hole of the positioning cylinder 31 is always within the preset range. The linear drive characteristics of the electric cylinder avoid the vibration or displacement deviation of the telescopic rod caused by pressure fluctuations in traditional hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. Furthermore, the efficient coordination with the controller further shortens the reset response time of the positioning rod 32. At the same time, the electric cylinder eliminates the risk of oil leakage, reducing the maintenance requirements of the device and improving the stability and reliability of the meat product marinating and feeding process.

[0056] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly further includes an adjustment plate 16, which is mounted on the second flipping bracket 22, and the limiting cylinder 36 is rotatably connected to the adjustment plate 16.

[0057] In this embodiment, the adjusting plate 16 is mounted on the second flipping bracket 22, and the limiting cylinder 36 is fixed to the adjusting plate 16 by a rotatable connection, allowing the position of the limiting cylinder 36 to be flexibly adjusted along the adjusting plate 16 to adapt to the installation requirements of different sized feeding containers. The rigid connection between the adjusting plate 16 and the second flipping bracket 22 ensures the stability of the limiting cylinder 36 during the flipping process of the feeding container, avoiding misalignment between the feeding port and the limiting cylinder 36 due to angular deviation. At the same time, the rotatable connection structure of the limiting cylinder 36 can adapt to the small displacement during the flipping of the feeding container, reducing the risk of jamming. Furthermore, the adjusting plate 16 does not require an additional driving mechanism, simplifying the structural complexity of the feeding assembly and balancing adjustment accuracy and ease of operation.

[0058] In some embodiments, the adjusting plate 16 is provided with two or more positioning holes, and the limiting cylinder 36 is provided with positioning pins, which are adapted to the positioning holes.

[0059] In this embodiment, the adjusting plate 16 is provided with two or more positioning holes. The limiting cylinder 36 is adapted to the positioning holes by positioning pins. The fixed position of the limiting cylinder 36 can be quickly adjusted by selecting different positioning holes to adapt to the diverse needs of the feeding container's flipping angle. The rigid fit between the positioning pins and the positioning holes effectively suppresses the radial displacement of the limiting cylinder 36 during the flipping process, ensuring the alignment accuracy between the feeding container and the feeding port. At the same time, the array distribution of positioning holes on the adjusting plate 16 can achieve multi-level positioning of the limiting cylinder 36 without the need for a complex adjustment mechanism, simplifying the operation steps. This embodiment improves the impact resistance of the feeding assembly while ensuring adjustment flexibility, avoiding positioning failure caused by vibration.

[0060] In some embodiments, the end cap 33 is provided with a rubber pad.

[0061] In this embodiment, the elastic cushioning effect of the rubber pad can absorb the impact force between the positioning cylinder 31 and the limiting cylinder 36 during the positioning process, reduce wear and vibration transmission caused by rigid contact, enhance adaptability, and extend the service life of the positioning component.

[0062] Unlike existing technologies, the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0063] The meat product marinating and feeding device provided by this utility model achieves efficient and stable feeding and marinating operations through the coordinated operation of the feeding component, marinating component, and positioning component. In the feeding component, the combination of the first support 11 and the traveling unit 15 allows the device to move flexibly and be fixed. The first telescopic cylinder 13 drives the first flipping support 12 to drive the feeding hopper 14 to accurately flip and complete the quantitative feeding. The conical hopper structure reduces residue and improves the uniformity of feeding. The marinating component controls the second flipping support 22 through the second telescopic cylinder 23 to drive the marinating cylinder 24 to switch between the feeding position and the marinating position. The positioning component, through the linkage design of the positioning cylinder 31, positioning rod 32, locking rod 35, and limiting cylinder 36, uses the reset action of the first spring 34 to push the positioning rod 32 to slide when the feeding component and the marinating component are docked. With the help of the positioning block 3501 of the locking rod 35 and the inclined guide of the positioning groove of the limiting cylinder 36, the positioning is quickly aligned and rigidly fixed, effectively avoiding spillage or docking deviation. The addition of a linkage structure between the limit pin 37 and the connecting rope 38 enables automatic unlocking of the limit pin 37 through mechanical traction, preventing accidental displacement of the positioning rod 32 when not in operation. The locking rod 35, with the addition of a handle 3502 and a second spring 39, optimizes operational ease and reset accuracy. The iron chain connecting rope 38 enhances traction stability and durability. The control components, combined with a proximity switch and controller, achieve precise control of the electric cylinder, eliminating human error. The adjustment plate 16 and the positioning hole allow for adjustable position of the limit cylinder 36, and the limit cylinder 36 can be replaced to accommodate different sized feeding containers. Simultaneously, the limit cylinder 36 is connected to the second flipping bracket 22; during the marinating position, the limit cylinder 36 cannot align with the positioning rod 32, preventing misoperation. The rubber pad reduces rigid impact and extends component life. This device improves feeding accuracy and operational efficiency through mechanical linkage and automated control, reducing manual intervention while maintaining structural stability and ease of maintenance.
