Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of salted egg pickling technology, and in particular to a salted egg pickling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, salted eggs, as a traditional delicacy, are widely loved by consumers. The pickling process is crucial to the taste and quality of salted eggs. Currently, existing salted egg pickling equipment mainly relies on traditional pickling methods, which involve manually placing eggs or only egg yolks into a pickling container and then adding brine. While this method is simple to operate, it presents a series of technical challenges.

[0003] First, existing salted egg pickling equipment has a relatively small production capacity and often requires a large amount of manual labor, which is not only inefficient but also has high labor costs. With the continuous growth of market demand, this traditional pickling method can no longer meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0004] Secondly, traditional pickling processes use a large amount of brine, resulting in a significant waste of water resources and an increased environmental burden on businesses. Furthermore, the brine may contain high levels of salt and harmful substances, which could pollute the environment if not properly treated. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a salted egg pickling device, which can automatically pickle salted eggs and recycle brine, effectively improving pickling efficiency and reducing energy consumption and labor, while reducing waste brine discharge.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A salted egg curdling apparatus, comprising:

[0008] A pickling tank, wherein the pickling tank has a pickling cavity, and a material inlet is provided on the top wall of the pickling tank, the material inlet being connected to the pickling cavity;

[0009] A lifting device is provided above the pickling tank and corresponds to the position of the material inlet.

[0010] A conveyor and a counterweight frame, the counterweight frame being mounted on the conveyor, wherein the lifting device is used to send the conveyor and the counterweight frame into or out of the pickling cavity;

[0011] A brine circulation supply component is disposed on the pickling tank and communicates with the pickling cavity.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this application can effectively automate the salted egg pickling process by using a combination of pickling tank, lifting device, conveyor and counterweight frame, which significantly improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs. Secondly, the brine circulation supply component enables the recycling of brine and reduces resource consumption.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the brine circulation supply component includes an inlet pipe, a first circulation pipe, and an outlet pipe. The pickling tank is provided with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet pipe is connected to the inlet, and the outlet pipe is connected to the outlet. The inlet pipe is connected to an external brine supply device. The two ends of the first circulation pipe are respectively connected to the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe. A water pump is provided between the first circulation pipe and the outlet pipe.

[0014] By adopting the above scheme, the brine can be recycled through the cooperation of the inlet pipe, the first circulation pipe and the outlet pipe, reducing the consumption of fresh brine and lowering the cost of treating waste brine. Secondly, the water pump ensures that the brine maintains a certain flow rate and pressure during circulation, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the brine. By adjusting the working status of the water pump, the circulation speed and pickling conditions of the brine can also be flexibly controlled.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a heat exchange plate is provided on the first circulation pipe.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the conveying vehicle includes an AGV trolley, the top wall of which is provided with an electric lifting rod, and the counterweight frame is placed on the movable end of the electric lifting rod.

[0026] Using the above solution, the AGV can automatically transport the counterweight frame, reducing the labor intensity of manual handling. The electric lifting rod can adjust the height of the counterweight frame as needed, facilitating the insertion and removal of the counterweight frame into the pickling cavity, effectively automating the pickling process and improving production efficiency.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom wall of the pickling cavity is provided with at least two support columns, and a conveying channel is formed between the two support columns. The conveying channel is used to provide moving space for the conveying vehicle.

[0028] By adopting the above scheme, the conveying vehicle can easily enter and exit the pickling cavity through the conveying channel formed by the support column, which makes it easier to convey the counterweight frame and place or remove it from the support column, effectively improving the pickling efficiency.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a thermometer is provided on the wall of the pickling cavity.

[0030] By adopting the above solution and setting up a thermometer, the temperature inside the marinating cavity can be monitored in real time, providing operators with accurate temperature data.
