[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 This application provides an apparatus for storing and marinating meat jerky, comprising a marinating component 1, a frame assembly 2, and a storage component. The marinating component 1 includes a tank 11, a tumbling section 12, and a first opening. The inner wall of the tank 11 is provided with multiple protrusions. The first opening is located at one end of the tank 11. The tumbling section 12 is arranged along the reference axis of the tank 11 and is provided with multiple spray holes. The tumbling section 12 is nested at the other end of the tank 11, and a driving unit is provided on the outside of the other end of the tank 11. The driving unit is connected to the tumbling section 12 and drives the tumbling section 12 to rotate along the reference axis. It also drives the tank body 11 to rotate; the frame assembly 2 is used to support and fix the pickling assembly 1. The frame assembly 2 includes a support base 21, an adjustment part 22, a first bearing and a second bearing. The first bearing and the second bearing are spaced apart and sleeved on the outside of the tank body 11. The drive part is connected to the support base 21. The first bearing is hinged to the support base 21. One end of the adjustment part 22 is hinged to the second bearing, and the other end of the adjustment part 22 is hinged to the support base 21; the storage assembly includes a conveying part and a storage part. One end of the conveying part is set towards the first opening, and the other end of the conveying part is connected to the storage part.
[0033] In this embodiment, the marinating component 1 includes a tank 11, a tumbling section 12, and a first opening. The marinating component 1 uses physical and chemical methods to ensure that the meat jerky fully absorbs the marinade, achieving the purpose of marinating. The inner wall of the tank 11 is provided with multiple protrusions, which increase the contact area between the meat jerky and the marinade, making the marinating more uniform. The first opening is located at one end of the tank 11. The tumbling section 12 is arranged along the reference axis of the tank 11 and is provided with multiple spray holes. The tumbling section 12 is nested at the other end of the tank 11, and a driving section is provided on the outside of the other end of the tank 11. The driving section is connected to the tumbling section 12. The tumbling section 12 rotates along a reference axis, causing the tank 11 to rotate. It can be understood that the tumbling section 12, driven by the drive unit, can rotate along the reference axis of the tank 11, and the drive unit can also drive the tank 11 to rotate. The tank 11 rotates externally, while the tumbling section 12 rotates internally, providing a dual rotation mechanism for the pork jerky. This dual rotation mechanism not only simulates the effect of manual kneading, allowing the jerky to fully absorb the marinade during the marinating process, but also effectively prevents uneven marinating caused by prolonged standing. The frame assembly 2 supports and fixes the marinating assembly 1, and includes a support base 21. The adjustment unit 22, the first bearing, and the second bearing, along with the support base 21 of the frame assembly 2, provide a stable support foundation for the entire equipment. The adjustment unit 22 can flexibly adjust the tilt angle of the tank 11 according to the weight of the meat jerky and the marinating requirements to adapt to different marinating processes. The first bearing and the second bearing are spaced apart and fitted onto the outside of the tank 11. The drive unit is connected to the support base 21, and the first bearing is hinged to the support base 21. One end of the adjustment unit 22 is hinged to the second bearing, and the other end of the adjustment unit 22 is hinged to the support base 21. The arrangement of the first bearing and the second bearing ensures the smooth rotation of the tank 11 and reduces the risk of injury. The equipment operates with minimal vibration and noise. The storage component includes a conveying section and a storage section. One end of the conveying section faces the first opening, and the other end connects to the storage section. This connection between the conveying section and the storage section enables seamless integration of the meat jerky from marinating to storage. The orientation of the conveying section ensures that the marinated meat jerky can smoothly enter the storage section, avoiding secondary contamination during transfer and improving the hygienic quality of the meat jerky. The entire equipment fully considers all aspects of the marinating and storage of meat jerky. Through the synergistic effect of each component, it achieves automation and high efficiency in meat jerky processing, providing strong technical support for meat jerky production.
[0034] In this embodiment, the marinating component 1, through the synergistic effect of physical and chemical methods, enables the meat jerky to fully absorb the marinade. Multiple protrusions on the inner wall of the tank 11 effectively increase the contact area between the meat jerky and the marinade, ensuring a more uniform marinating process and avoiding the uneven marinating problems that may occur in traditional marinating methods. This improves the texture and flavor of the meat jerky. The dual rotation mechanism of the protrusions within the tank 11 and the tumbling section 12 significantly improves the marinating efficiency and quality of the meat jerky, allowing it to fully absorb the marinade in a short time, resulting in a more tender and juicy texture. The support base 21 of the frame component 2 provides a stable foundation for the entire device, while the adjustment section 22 can flexibly adjust the tilt angle of the tank 11 according to the weight of the meat jerky and marinating requirements to adapt to different marinating processes, making the device more versatile. The first and second bearings are spaced apart and sleeved on the outside of the tank 11, ensuring not only the rotation of the tank 11 but also... The design ensures stability and reduces vibration and noise during operation, extending the equipment's lifespan. The storage component seamlessly connects the meat jerky from marinating to storage. One end of the conveyor is positioned facing the first opening, while the other end connects to the storage unit, ensuring that the marinated meat jerky can smoothly and quickly enter the storage unit, avoiding secondary contamination during transfer and effectively improving the hygiene quality of the meat jerky. It also increases production efficiency and reduces manual intervention. Furthermore, by fully considering each stage of marinating and storing the meat jerky, the synergistic effect of the marinating component 1, the frame component 2, and the storage component achieves automation and high efficiency in meat jerky processing, providing strong technical support for meat jerky production. This not only improves production efficiency and product quality but also reduces production costs, demonstrating promising market application prospects and promotional value. It meets the modern meat jerky processing industry's demand for efficient and automated production equipment.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first opening is provided with a cover plate for covering the first opening, and the cover plate and the first opening are sealed together when closed.
[0036] In this embodiment, the first opening is equipped with a cover plate, which is used to close the first opening. The cover plate and the first opening are sealed together when closed.

The removable or adjustable cover improves the ease of equipment maintenance, allowing users to easily clean the inside of the equipment, reducing maintenance time and costs. It also enhances operational convenience, allowing users to quickly open or close the cover as needed, improving work efficiency.
[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 In some embodiments, the tumbling section 12 is provided with a pipeline for spraying liquid. The pipeline includes a main pipeline and multiple branch pipelines. The main pipeline extends out of the tank 11 along the reference axis. The branch pipelines are connected to the main pipeline and to the spray holes for injecting marinade.
[0039] In this embodiment, the tumbling section 12 is equipped with a liquid spraying pipeline, which includes a main pipeline and multiple branch pipelines. The pipeline is a piping system for transporting and distributing marinade, ensuring that the marinade is evenly distributed to each spray hole. The main pipeline extends from the reference axis to the tank 11, serving as the main channel in the pipeline system and providing a stable liquid supply to the entire spraying system. The branch pipelines are connected to the main pipeline and extend from it, distributing the marinade to each spray hole. The branch pipelines are connected to the spray holes, which are used to inject the marinade. The layout of the spray holes directly affects the uniformity of the marinade distribution. By providing a liquid spraying pipeline in the tumbling section 12, uniform spraying of the marinade can be achieved, ensuring that the meat jerky can fully absorb the marinade during the tumbling process, thereby improving the marinating effect. The spray holes ensure that the marinade is accurately sprayed onto the surface of the meat jerky, thus improving marinating efficiency.
[0040] In this embodiment, the tumbling section 12 with its spray liquid pipeline has significant advantages. The spray holes can evenly spray the marinade onto the surface of the meat jerky, ensuring full contact between the marinade and the meat jerky, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of marinating. The uniform spraying method can effectively avoid differences in the taste of the meat jerky caused by uneven distribution of marinade, thus improving the overall quality of the product. Through the reasonable layout of the main pipeline and branch pipelines, the spray volume and spray range can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, precisely controlling the amount of marinade sprayed to provide the best flavor. It can also reduce manual operation, reduce labor intensity, improve production efficiency, and at the same time reduce marinade waste and lower production costs.
[0041] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 In some embodiments, a stirring unit 13 is provided on the tumbling part 12. The stirring unit 13 includes a flange 131 and an L-shaped blade 132. The tumbling part 12 and the stirring unit 13 are connected through the flange 131. The tumbling part 12 drives the stirring unit 13. The L-shaped blade 132 is connected to the flange 131.
[0042] In this embodiment, a stirring unit 13 is provided on the tumbling section 12, which can serve as an auxiliary component to enhance the stirring effect. The stirring unit 13 includes a flange 131 and an L-shaped blade 132. The tumbling section 12 and the stirring unit 13 are connected through the flange 131. The tumbling section 12 drives the stirring unit 13. The L-shaped blade 132 is connected to the flange 131. The flange 131 is a disc-shaped metal body used to connect the tumbling section 12 and the stirring unit 13. The flange 131 has holes for fixing with bolts, which ensures the stability of the connection and facilitates installation and disassembly. The L-shaped blade 132 is a component of the stirring unit 13. The shape of the L-shaped blade 132 is similar to a letter. The "L" shape enhances the mixing effect during the stirring process, allowing the pork jerky to be mixed more evenly during tumbling. This means that when the drive unit starts operating, it rotates the tumbling section 12 around a reference axis. The flange 131 on the tumbling section 12 is then rotated, which in turn drives the L-shaped blades 132 to rotate around the reference axis. This allows for a wide-ranging agitation of the pork jerky, aiding in the mixing and absorption of the marinade. By incorporating the stirring unit 13 on the tumbling section 12, the stirring efficiency and uniformity are significantly improved. This not only increases stirring efficiency but also allows for flexible adjustment of the stirring unit 13's configuration according to different processing requirements, enhancing the equipment's versatility and adaptability.
[0043] In this embodiment, the addition of a stirring unit 13 to the tumbling section 12 has significant advantages. Connecting the stirring unit 13 to the tumbling section 12 via a flange 131 ensures a stable connection between them, facilitates installation and disassembly, and reduces equipment maintenance costs. The L-shaped blades 132 enhance the mixing effect during the stirring process, resulting in more uniform mixing of the pork jerky during tumbling. This not only improves stirring efficiency but also allows for flexible adjustment of the stirring unit 13 configuration according to different processing requirements, enhancing the equipment's versatility and adaptability. Furthermore, it reduces manual operation, lowers labor intensity, increases production efficiency, reduces material waste, and lowers production costs.
[0044] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 In some embodiments, there are multiple L-shaped blades 132, and the multiple L-shaped blades 132 are coaxially spaced along the flange 131.
[0045] In this embodiment, there are multiple L-shaped blades 132, and these multiple L-shaped blades 132 are coaxially spaced along the flange 131, which can significantly improve the mixing efficiency and uniformity. The coaxial spacing means that the multiple L-shaped blades 132 are evenly distributed along the central axis of the flange 131, ensuring smoother material flow during mixing and preventing localized material accumulation, thereby improving mixing uniformity. By evenly distributing multiple L-shaped blades 132 on the flange 131, the mixing unit 13, driven by the tumbling section 12, can perform comprehensive mixing of the pork jerky and marinade. The special shape of the L-shaped blades 132 allows for the carrying of a large area of pork jerky during mixing, resulting in better dispersion and mixing. The coaxially spaced blade layout ensures smoother material flow during mixing, preventing localized material accumulation and further improving mixing uniformity. Preferably, the number and spacing of the blades can be flexibly adjusted according to different mixing requirements of the pork jerky to achieve the best mixing effect.
[0046] In this embodiment, the L-shaped blades 132 are coaxially spaced along the flange 131, which has significant beneficial effects. The uniform distribution of multiple L-shaped blades 132 can significantly improve the stirring efficiency, reduce the stirring time, and thus reduce energy consumption. It can ensure that the material flow is more uniform during the stirring process, avoid the stirring dead corners caused by uneven blade distribution, and further improve the uniformity of stirring. The L-shaped blades 132 can also enhance the tumbling effect of the material, making the material easier to disperse and mix during the stirring process, which is especially suitable for high-viscosity pork jerky. It not only improves the stirring efficiency, but also enhances the versatility and adaptability of the equipment, and can meet the needs of different pork jerky and processes.
[0047] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the main pipeline is provided with a flow regulating valve, which is used to regulate the spray volume.
[0048] In this embodiment, a flow regulating valve is installed in the main pipeline, and the flow regulating valve is used to regulate the spraying volume. The flow regulating valve is a device that can precisely control the fluid flow rate. By adjusting the valve opening, the fluid throughput is changed. The flow regulating valve can automatically adjust the valve opening according to the set flow rate value, and can maintain a stable flow rate even under system pressure fluctuations. Installing a flow regulating valve in the main pipeline allows for flexible adjustment of the spraying volume according to actual needs, ensuring the accuracy of the spraying process. During the marinating of pork jerky, the flow regulating valve can precisely control the spraying volume of the marinade, thereby ensuring the consistency of the spraying effect. Preferably, the flow regulating valve also has an automatic adjustment function, which can maintain a constant set flow rate when the system pressure fluctuates, effectively solving the problem of unstable flow rate caused by pressure changes. This not only improves the flexibility of operation, but also enhances the stability and reliability of the equipment.
[0049] In this embodiment, the installation of a flow regulating valve on the main pipeline has significant advantages. The flow regulating valve can precisely control the spraying volume, ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the spraying process, thereby improving the pickling effect. The spraying volume can be flexibly adjusted according to different process requirements, improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.
