Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ham processing technology, specifically to a salt content equalization device for ham. Background Technology

[0002] Dry-cured ham is a traditional meat product made from pork hind legs, which is cured, fermented, and air-dried with salt. Its main processes include raw material selection, leg trimming, curing, washing and drying, shaping and fermentation, finishing, and finished product.

[0003] The existing ham curing process involves hand-rubbing, which is technically demanding, labor-intensive, and inefficient. While ham achieves fermentation through high salt content to produce a specific flavor, this high salt content is detrimental to the consumer market and makes standardization difficult, affecting large-scale use. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a ham salt-balanced equipment to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a salt content equalization device for ham, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a salt equalization device for ham, comprising a supercritical fluid reactor body, an electric push rod fixedly installed on the outside of the supercritical fluid reactor body, a cover plate fixedly installed at the output end of the electric push rod, a pickling mechanism provided at the bottom of the cover plate, and a disassembly mechanism provided inside the supercritical fluid reactor body.

[0006] Preferably, the curing mechanism includes a motor, which is fixedly installed on the top of the cover plate. A rotating frame is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor, and a hook is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating frame. A fixed base plate is fixedly installed on the inner side of the bottom of the supercritical fluid reactor body, and a fixed frame is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed base plate. A sliding frame is slidably installed inside the fixed frame, and a massage roller is rotatably installed inside the sliding frame. A spring is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame. This technology system can greatly shorten the curing cycle of traditional ham and allow the salt to be distributed more evenly during the curing process, avoiding local over-saltiness or under-saltiness.

[0007] Preferably, the hooks are provided in two sets, and are respectively located on both sides of the rotating frame, which facilitates the hanging operation of the ham.

[0008] Preferably, the end of the spring away from the fixed frame is fixedly installed with the sliding frame. The fixed frame, sliding frame, massage roller and spring are provided in two sets and are symmetrically distributed at the center line of the front of the fixed base plate, so that the massage roller is in continuous contact with the ham and performs a massage operation on the ham.

[0009] Preferably, the disassembly mechanism includes a mounting frame, which is fixedly mounted on the front and back of the fixed base plate. A second spring is fixedly mounted on the front and back of the fixed base plate. A sliding block is fixedly mounted on the end of the second spring away from the fixed base plate. A pinch block is fixedly mounted on the top of the sliding block. An insert block is fixedly mounted on the outside of the sliding block. An insertion frame is fixedly mounted on the inner bottom of the supercritical fluid reactor body to facilitate cleaning of the massage roller.

[0010] Preferably, the sliding block and the insert block are slidably installed inside the mounting frame, and slots are provided at corresponding positions of the insertion frame and the insert block, and the insert block is inserted into the slot to clean the dipping sauce adhering to the outside of the massage roller, preparing for the subsequent marinating operation.

[0011] Preferably, the disassembly mechanism is provided in two sets, and is symmetrically distributed at the center line of the left side of the fixed base plate, which facilitates the cleaning of the massage roller.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a salt content balancing device for ham, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The salt-balancing equipment for this ham, through its curing mechanism, performs supercritical operation during use, allowing microparticles to penetrate deep into the muscle tissue. Utilizing the swelling effect, it opens cell membrane channels. This technology significantly shortens the traditional ham curing cycle and ensures more even salt distribution during curing, preventing localized over- or under-salting conditions. The rotating frame drives the ham to rotate inside the supercritical fluid reactor, passing between massage rollers. Springs maintain continuous contact between the massage rollers and the ham, massaging it and further ensuring more even salt penetration.

[0014] 2. The salt equalization equipment for this ham, through a disassembly mechanism, allows the pinch block to move away from the limit of the insertion frame via the sliding block during use, after which the fixed base plate can be removed to clean the coating adhering to the outside of the massage roller, preparing for subsequent curing operations and facilitating the cleaning of the massage roller.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a salt equalization equipment for ham, including a supercritical fluid reactor body 1, an electric push rod 4 fixedly installed on the outside of the supercritical fluid reactor body 1, a cover plate 5 fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod 4, a pickling mechanism 2 provided at the bottom of the cover plate 5, and a disassembly mechanism 3 provided inside the supercritical fluid reactor body 1.

[0025] Furthermore, the curing mechanism 2 includes a motor 21, which is fixedly installed on the top of the cover plate 5. A rotating frame 22 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 21, and a hook 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating frame 22. A fixed base plate 24 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the bottom of the supercritical fluid reactor body 1, and a fixed frame 25 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed base plate 24. A sliding frame 26 is slidably installed inside the fixed frame 25, and a massage roller 27 is rotatably installed inside the sliding frame 26. A spring 28 is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame 25. This technology system can greatly shorten the curing cycle of traditional ham and allow the salt to be distributed more evenly during the curing process, avoiding local over-saltiness or under-saltiness.

[0026] Furthermore, two sets of hooks 23 are provided, and are respectively located on both sides of the rotating frame 22, which facilitates the hanging operation of the ham.

[0027] Furthermore, the end of spring 28 away from the fixed frame 25 is fixedly installed with the sliding frame 26. There are two sets of fixed frame 25, sliding frame 26, massage roller 27 and spring 28, which are symmetrically distributed at the center line of the front of the fixed base plate 24, so that the massage roller 27 is in continuous contact with the ham and performs a massage operation on the ham.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] Please see Figure 4 Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, the disassembly mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 31, which is fixedly mounted on the front and back of the fixed base plate 24. A second spring 32 is fixedly mounted on the front and back of the fixed base plate 24. A sliding block 33 is fixedly mounted on the end of the second spring 32 away from the fixed base plate 24. A pinch block 34 is fixedly mounted on the top of the sliding block 33. An insert block 35 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the sliding block 33. A plug frame 36 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the bottom of the supercritical fluid reactor body 1 to facilitate cleaning of the massage roller 27.

[0030] Furthermore, the sliding block 33 and the insert block 35 are slidably installed inside the mounting frame 31. The insert frame 36 and the insert block 35 are provided with slots at corresponding positions, and the insert block 35 is inserted into the slot to clean the dip adhering to the outside of the massage roller 27, in preparation for the subsequent marinating operation.

[0031] Furthermore, the disassembly mechanism 3 is provided in two sets, and is symmetrically distributed along the center line on the left side of the fixed base plate 24, which facilitates the cleaning of the massage roller 27.

[0032] In actual operation, when this device is used, the electric push rod 4 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 4 drives the cover plate 5 to move upward, exposing the hook 23. The ham coated with marinade is then hung on the outside of the hook 23. The cover plate 5 is placed on top of the supercritical fluid reactor body 1. After starting the supercritical fluid reactor body 1, supercritical operation is performed, allowing the particles to penetrate into the deep muscle tissue. The swelling effect opens the cell membrane channels. This technology system can greatly shorten the traditional ham curing cycle and allow the salt to be distributed more evenly during the curing process, avoiding local over-saltiness or under-saltiness. The motor 21 is then started. The output of motor 21 drives the rotating frame 22 to rotate, causing the rotating frame 22 to rotate the ham inside the supercritical fluid reactor body 1. The ham passes between the massage rollers 27, and the spring 28 keeps the massage rollers 27 in continuous contact with the ham, massaging the ham and making the salt penetration more even. After the curing is completed, the electric push rod 4 is activated to remove the ham. The squeezing block 34 is pinched on the inside. The squeezing block 34 drives the insertion block 35 to disengage from the limit of the insertion frame 36 through the sliding block 33. The fixed base plate 24 is then removed, and the dipping sauce adhering to the outside of the massage rollers 27 is cleaned to prepare for the subsequent curing operation.
