Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pickled vegetable production technology, and in particular to a pickling device for pickled vegetable production. Background Technology

[0002] Pickled vegetables are a type of vegetable food that has been processed by salting, fermenting, or seasoning. They are commonly found in the culinary cultures of various Asian countries.

[0003] Currently, when pickling vegetables, chopped vegetables are directly mixed with salt and placed in a pickling vat. During the pickling process, the salt causes the water in the vegetables to be released, and the brine gradually accumulates at the bottom of the vat. This results in vegetables at the bottom having an excessively high salt content, leading to uneven pickling. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a pickling device for pickling production that can easily distribute the brine accumulated at the bottom throughout the vegetables, making pickling more even, in order to overcome the shortcomings of current practical applications and meet current needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pickling device for the production of pickled vegetables, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A pickling apparatus for producing pickled vegetables includes a pickling box, an end cap, a stirring mechanism, a brine dispersion mechanism, and a separator. The stirring mechanism, extending into the top of the pickling box, is installed on its top. A separator is fixed inside the pickling box, and a brine storage chamber is located below the separator within the pickling box. A brine dispersion mechanism, connected to one side of the pickling box, is installed on its side. The brine dispersion mechanism includes a delivery pump, an inlet pipe, a main pipe, an annular pipe, branch pipes, and an outlet. The inlet of the delivery pump is connected to the inlet pipe extending into the brine storage chamber, and the outlet of the delivery pump is connected to the main pipe. Multiple annular pipes are installed on the main pipe, and each annular pipe has multiple branch pipes inserted into the pickling box. Each branch pipe has multiple outlet holes at its bottom.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the marinating box is provided with a feeding port, and a plug is detachably installed on the feeding port. The bottom of the marinating box is provided with a drain pipe, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the lower half of the marinating box is provided with a material dispensing port.

[0009] Preferably, the pickling box is detachably equipped with an end cap for blocking the feeding port.

[0010] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes a drive motor, a first gear, a second gear, and a stirring shaft. The drive motor is fixed to the top of the marinating box. The first gear is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor. A second gear meshing with the first gear is mounted on one side of the first gear. The second gear is mounted on the stirring shaft, and the stirring shaft is rotatably connected to the marinating box.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The pickling device used in pickle production involves adding chopped vegetables and salt into the pickling tank. A drive motor rotates the first gear, the second gear, and the stirring shaft. The stirring shaft mixes the vegetables and salt. As pickling progresses, the vegetables release water, which dissolves the salt to form brine. The brine, under gravity, collects downwards into a brine storage chamber. A pump then draws the brine from the storage chamber and delivers it to the main pipe, the annular pipe, and the branch pipe. Multiple outlets then distribute the brine throughout the pickling tank, ensuring even salt content and more uniform pickling. After pickling, the valve is opened to drain excess brine, and the end cap is removed to retrieve the pickled vegetables. In summary, this invention effectively distributes the brine accumulated at the bottom throughout the vegetables, resulting in more uniform pickling. Attached Figure Description

[0021] See Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a pickling device for producing pickled vegetables includes a pickling box 1, an end cap 2, a stirring mechanism 3, a brine dispersion mechanism 4, and a separating mesh 5. The top of the pickling box 1 is provided with a feeding port 101, and a plug 102 is detachably installed on the feeding port 101. Vegetables can be added to the pickling box 1 by removing the plug 102. A drain pipe 103 is provided at the lower end of the pickling box 1, and a valve 104 is installed on the drain pipe 103. A dispensing port 105 is provided in the lower half of the pickling box 1. The top of the pickling box 1 is detachably fitted with an end cap 2 for blocking the feeding port 105. A stirring mechanism 3 extending into the top of the pickling box 1 is installed therein. A partition net 5 is fixed inside the pickling box 1. Below the partition net 5, a brine storage chamber 6 is provided inside the pickling box 1. A brine dispersion mechanism 4 connected to one side of the pickling box 1 is installed therein. The brine dispersion mechanism 4 includes: a delivery pump 401, an inlet pipe 402, a main pipe 403, an annular pipe 404, a branch pipe 405, and a liquid outlet 406. The delivery pump 401 is located at... On the ground, the inlet of the delivery pump 401 is connected to an inlet pipe 402 extending into the brine storage chamber 6, and the outlet of the delivery pump 401 is connected to a main pipe 403. Multiple annular pipes 404 are installed on the main pipe 403, and each annular pipe 404 is equipped with multiple branch pipes 405 inserted into the pickling box 1. Each branch pipe 405 has multiple outlet holes 406 at its bottom. In use, chopped vegetables and salt are added to the pickling box 1, and the stirring mechanism 3 agitates the mixture, causing the vegetables and salt to... As the pickling process progresses, the vegetables release water, which dissolves the salt to form brine. Under the influence of gravity, the brine flows downwards into the brine storage chamber 6. Then, the brine in the brine storage chamber 6 is drawn in by the delivery pump 401 and delivered to the main pipe 403, the annular pipe 404, and the branch pipe 405. Finally, the brine is delivered to various parts of the pickling tank 1 through multiple outlet holes 406 so that it comes into contact with and is absorbed by the vegetables. This ensures that the salt content of the vegetables is roughly the same in all parts of the tank, making the pickling process more uniform.

[0022] The stirring mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 301, a first gear 302, a second gear 303, and a stirring shaft 304. The drive motor 301 is fixed to the top of the marinating box 1. The first gear 302 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 301. A second gear 303 meshes with the first gear 302 on one side. The second gear 303 is mounted on the stirring shaft 304. The stirring shaft 304 is rotatably connected to the marinating box 1. In use, the drive motor 301 drives the first gear 302, the second gear 303, and the stirring shaft 304 to rotate, and the stirring shaft 304 stirs and mixes the vegetables and salt.

[0023] Working principle: The pickling device used for pickling production adds chopped vegetables and salt to the pickling tank 1. The drive motor 301 drives the first gear 302, the second gear 303, and the stirring shaft 304 to rotate. The stirring shaft 304 stirs and mixes the vegetables and salt. As pickling progresses, the vegetables release water, which dissolves the salt to form brine. The brine flows downwards into the brine storage chamber 6 under gravity. Then, the brine in the brine storage chamber 6 is drawn by the delivery pump 401 and delivered to the main pipe 403, the annular pipe 404, and the branch pipe 405. The brine is then delivered to various parts of the pickling tank 1 through multiple outlet holes 406 to come into contact with and be absorbed by the vegetables, so that the salt content of the vegetables is roughly the same everywhere, making the pickling more uniform. After pickling is completed, the valve 104 is opened to drain the excess brine, and the end cap 2 is removed to take out the pickled vegetables from the pickling tank 1.
