Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to an energy-saving and environmentally friendly meat marinating and tumbling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, meat curing is a crucial production step. Traditional meat curing methods mostly involve simply mixing meat and curing ingredients and letting it sit, allowing the curing ingredients to naturally penetrate the meat. However, this traditional method has significant drawbacks. Firstly, the curing ingredients cannot penetrate the meat fully and evenly, resulting in poor curing quality. Different parts of the meat exhibit significant differences in taste and texture, failing to guarantee ideal curing results and thus affecting the final texture and flavor. Secondly, the curing process is inefficient and time-consuming, reducing production efficiency and increasing production costs to some extent.

[0003] With the development of technology, some marinating equipment with tumbling functions has gradually emerged. Tumbling allows the marinade to penetrate the meat better, improving marinating quality and efficiency. However, existing tumbling marinating equipment still has some safety hazards. For example, the power switch is often poorly designed and easily accidentally activated by the user, causing the tumbling component to start suddenly. If the user's hand is inside the equipment at this time, they are very likely to suffer crush injuries, posing a threat to their personal safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model relates to an energy-saving and environmentally friendly meat marinating and tumbling machine, which solves the problem that the power switch of existing tumbling and marinating equipment is easily accidentally touched by users, resulting in crushing injuries to users' hands.

[0006] Furthermore, the top surface of the tumbling storage container is provided with a tumbling storage groove, and a central column is fixedly installed at the axial center of the bottom surface of the inner end of the tumbling storage groove; a total of twelve tumbling columns a are fixedly installed in a ring array on the bottom surface of the inner end of the tumbling storage groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the lower body has four snap-fit ​​grooves arranged in a ring array, penetrating the top surface of the lower body; a transparent shell is provided above the lower body, and four sets of snap-fit ​​components are fixedly installed in a ring array on the bottom surface of the transparent shell adjacent to the edge, and the snap-fit ​​components are engaged with the snap-fit ​​grooves.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the transparent shell is provided with a mating groove, and eight tumbling columns b are fixedly installed in a ring array on the top surface of the inner end of the mating groove; when the fastener is engaged with the fastening groove, all eight tumbling columns b are located inside the tumbling storage groove, and their positions are not on the same axial contour line as the tumbling column a.

[0009] Furthermore, both the bottom end of the tumbling column b and the top end of the tumbling column a adopt a hemispherical structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower body is equipped with a microcontroller electrically connected to the motor and the on / off switch, and a power cord and power plug are installed on the outer circumference of the lower body; a pressing post is fixedly installed on the top surface of the inner end of the mating groove; when the latching member and the latching groove are in a latching engagement state, and the pressing post and the insertion hole are coaxial, the bottom end of the pressing post slides through the insertion hole and is located inside the on / off control cavity, and its bottom end is in contact with the button end of the on / off switch, at which time the on / off switch is in the pressed start state; when the on / off switch is in the pressed start state, its feedback signal is given to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller controls the motor to start.

[0011] This utility model provides an energy-saving and environmentally friendly meat marinating and tumbling machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This invention, through the coordinated arrangement of tumbling column b and tumbling column a, can squeeze and knead the meat placed in the tumbling and collecting tank when started. Through this tumbling process, the marinade can better penetrate into the meat, achieving uniform marinating and greatly improving the quality and efficiency of marinating. Compared with traditional marinating methods, it can achieve a more ideal marinating effect and ensure the taste and flavor of the marinated meat.

[0013] The on / off switch of this utility model is concealed and installed inside the on / off control cavity. Before the transparent shell is fastened and covers the tumbling storage container, the on / off switch cannot be pressed and contacted through the plug hole. This design effectively avoids the user accidentally touching the switch, causing the tumbling column a to suddenly start and squeeze the hand that may be inserted into the tumbling storage groove, thus providing reliable safety protection for the user, reducing the possibility of safety accidents, and ensuring the user's personal safety.

[0014] This invention only activates when the transparent shell is correctly installed and the on / off switch is triggered, avoiding unnecessary idling and effectively saving energy consumption. Furthermore, the efficient tumbling and marinating process reduces marinating time, thereby lowering energy consumption and aligning with the principles of energy conservation and environmental protection.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 :

[0029] This utility model proposes an energy-saving and environmentally friendly meat marinating and tumbling machine, comprising: a lower body 1, with a bottom mounting groove 107 formed on the bottom end face of the lower body 1, and a motor 108 fixedly mounted on the top surface of the bottom mounting groove 107; a tumbling and collecting container 102 is provided above the lower body 1, and the shaft end of the motor 108 passes through the top surface of the lower body 1 and is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the tumbling and collecting container 102; an opening and closing control cavity 109 is formed inside the lower body 1 adjacent to the edge, and a set of opening and closing switches 1010 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the opening and closing control cavity 109, the opening and closing switches 1010 being touch switches; a plug-in hole 106 is formed on the top surface of the lower body 1 relative to the opening and closing control cavity 109, and the plug-in hole 106 corresponds to the button end of the opening and closing switch 1010; a tumbling and collecting groove 103 is formed on the top surface of the tumbling and collecting container 102, and the shaft of the bottom surface of the tumbling and collecting groove 103 is axially oriented. A central column 104 is fixedly installed at the part; twelve tumbling columns a105 are fixedly installed in a ring array on the bottom surface of the inner end of the tumbling and collecting groove 103; four buckle slots 101 penetrating the top surface of the lower body 1 are opened in a ring array on the outer circumference of the lower body 1; a transparent shell 2 is provided above the lower body 1, and four sets of buckle pieces 201 are fixedly installed in a ring array on the bottom end surface of the transparent shell 2 adjacent to the edge, and the buckle pieces 201 and the buckle slots 101 are fixedly installed. The transparent shell 2 has a snap-fit ​​groove 202 on its bottom end face. The top surface of the inner end of the snap-fit ​​groove 202 is arranged in a ring array and eight tumbling columns b203 are fixedly installed. When the snap fastener 201 is snapped into the snap fastener groove 101, all eight tumbling columns b203 are located inside the tumbling storage groove 103, and their positions are not on the same axis contour line as the tumbling column a105. The bottom end of the tumbling column b203 and the top end of the tumbling column a105 are both hemispherical structures.

[0030] In this embodiment, the lower body 1 is equipped with a microcontroller 1011 that is electrically connected to the motor 108 and the on / off switch 1010. A power cord and a power plug are installed on the outer periphery of the lower body 1. A pressing post 204 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the inner end of the latching groove 202. When the latching member 201 and the latching groove 101 are in a latching engagement state, and the pressing post 204 and the insertion hole 106 are in a coaxial state, the bottom end of the pressing post 204 slides through the insertion hole 106 and is located inside the on / off control cavity 109. Its bottom end is in contact with the button end of the on / off switch 1010, and the on / off switch 1010 is in a pressed start state. When the on / off switch 1010 is in a pressed start state, its feedback signal is given to the microcontroller 1011, and the microcontroller 1011 controls the motor 108 to start.

[0031] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0032] Place an appropriate amount of meat to be marinated into the tumbling and storing groove 103 on the top surface of the tumbling and storing container 102, and add the appropriate marinating ingredients, such as salt, sugar, spices, seasonings and marinade, according to the marinating requirements, to ensure that the marinating ingredients are evenly distributed around the meat.

[0033] Before starting the equipment, place the transparent shell 2 on top of the lower body 1, align the pressing post 204 with the insertion hole 106, and then make the buckle 201 on the bottom surface of the transparent shell 2 engage with the buckle groove 101 on the outer periphery of the lower body 1. While achieving a stable connection between the transparent shell 2 and the lower body 1, the bottom end of the pressing post 204 will slide through the insertion hole 106 and enter the opening and closing control cavity 109, and press against the button end of the opening and closing switch 1010, so that the opening and closing switch 1010 is in the pressed start state. Since the opening and closing switch 1010 is a tactile switch, it will generate a feedback signal after being pressed. This feedback signal will be transmitted to the microcontroller 1011 inside the lower body 1, which is electrically connected to the motor 108 and the opening and closing switch 1010. After receiving the feedback signal, the microcontroller 1011 controls the motor 108 to start according to the preset control logic.

[0034] After the motor 108 starts, its shaft drives the tumbling and storage container 102 to rotate. Because the transparent shell 2 is engaged with the buckle groove 101 through the buckle 201, it is in a fixed state. However, because the tumbling column b203 and the tumbling column a105 are not on the same axis, the tumbling column b203 and the tumbling column a105 will squeeze and rub the meat during the rotation of the tumbling and storage container 102. By tumbling the meat, the marinade can better penetrate into the meat and achieve a uniform marinating effect.

[0035] When it is necessary to stop the tumbling operation, simply remove the transparent shell 2 from the lower body 1, so that the buckle 201 separates from the buckle groove 101, the pressing post 204 no longer presses against the button end of the on / off switch 1010, the on / off switch 1010 returns to its initial state, and its feedback signal changes and is transmitted to the microcontroller 1011. The microcontroller 1011 controls the motor 108 to stop running, thereby completing the entire tumbling and marinating process.

[0036] Furthermore, the on / off switch 1010 is installed inside the on / off control cavity 109 and adopts a concealed installation design. This design prevents the on / off switch 1010 from being pressed and contacted through the insertion hole 106 before the transparent shell 2 is fastened to cover the tumbling storage container 102. This design effectively avoids the tumbling column a105 from being suddenly activated due to accidental user touch of the switch, which could cause squeezing injury to the hand that may be inserted into the tumbling storage groove 103, thus achieving safety protection.
