Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of live poultry processing technology, and more specifically, to a tumbling machine for marinating chicken. Background Technology
[0002] Traditionally, chicken marinating and tumbling are done separately. First, the seasonings are manually and evenly sprinkled on the surface of the meat. Then, the meat is tumbled in a tumbling machine. The tumbling machine uses the principle of physical impact to turn the meat pieces or minced meat up and down inside the drum, thereby achieving a further marinating effect. The marinade is fully absorbed by the meat, enhancing its binding force and water retention, improving product elasticity and yield. This distributed processing method has relatively low production efficiency and requires a lot of labor. If the seasonings are put directly into the tumbling machine, the chicken meat moves to the top of the tumbling drum and falls to the bottom of the drum due to gravity, forming clumps and clumping. The marinade is not evenly distributed on the chicken meat, thus affecting the taste.
[0003] Therefore, improvements have been made to address the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a tumbling machine for marinating chicken, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that after the chicken moves to the top of the tumbling machine drum, it falls to the bottom of the drum due to gravity, forming clumps and clusters, and the marinade is unevenly distributed on the chicken.
[0005] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a tumbling machine for marinating chicken, comprising:
[0006] The outer casing and the bottom cover, wherein the bottom cover is fixed to the bottom of the outer casing;
[0007] A material-turning assembly, wherein the material-turning assembly is disposed inside the housing;
[0008] A pair of bottom covers and a discharge assembly, wherein the bottom covers are rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer casing by pins, and the discharge assembly is disposed inside the bottom covers and the bottom cover;
[0009] The material turning assembly includes a pair of rotating shafts, both of which are rotatably connected inside the housing. A material turning frame is provided on each rotating shaft, and a transmission gear is provided at one end of each rotating shaft. A first motor is installed on the outer surface of the housing, and the output end of the first motor is connected to one of the rotating shafts.
[0010] As a further technical solution, the discharge assembly includes a pair of fixed rods, which are fixed at both ends of the bottom of the outer shell. A connecting rod is provided on the bottom surface of the bottom cover, and a telescopic cylinder is rotatably connected between the fixed rods and the connecting rods via a pin.
[0011] As a further technical solution, a pusher auger is installed inside the bottom cover, and the pusher auger is rotated by a motor. An extension pipe is provided on the outer surface of the bottom cover, and the extension pipe is connected to the bottom cover.
[0012] As a further technical solution, a flushing assembly is also included. The flushing assembly is disposed inside the housing. The flushing assembly includes an inner pipe that is rotatably connected inside the housing. A control motor is disposed on one side surface of the housing.
[0013] As a further technical solution, the output end of the control motor is connected to the inner pipe, one end of the inner pipe is provided with a connecting tube, and the bottom of the inner pipe is provided with several flushing nozzles.
[0014] As a further technical solution, a pair of baffles are provided on the upper surface of the bottom cover, and the baffles are connected at an inclined angle.
[0015] As a further technical solution, the pair of bottom covers are arranged in a herringbone shape between the pair of rotating axes.
[0016] As a further technical solution, the material turning rack has an overall grid-like structure.
[0017] As a further technical solution, the inner pipe is located at the top of the center position inside the outer shell, and the inner pipe can rotate 90° to each side.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:
[0019] 1. In this disclosure, the beneficial effect of the turning component is that the first motor drives the rotating shaft, and the transmission gear makes the two rotating shafts rotate in opposite directions. When the grid-shaped turning rack rotates, it pushes the chicken to both sides, so that it circulates along the inner wall of the outer shell, preventing the chicken from clumping together. The continuous turning makes the marinade more evenly distributed on the chicken, speeds up the absorption of the marinade, and improves the marinating effect and taste.
[0020] 2. The beneficial effect of the discharge component in this disclosure is that the telescopic cylinder controls the opening and closing of the bottom cover, which is simple and efficient to operate. It can quickly drop the marinated chicken into the bottom cover, push the auger to rotate inside the bottom cover, and push the chicken smoothly to the extension pipe to achieve rapid discharge and improve production efficiency. The design of the bottom cover and the extension pipe facilitates the collection and transfer of chicken and reduces the intensity of manual operation.
[0021] 3. The beneficial effects of the flushing component in this disclosure are that controlling the motor to drive the inner pipe to rotate allows for adjustment of the flushing angle, and the flushing nozzle at the bottom of the inner pipe can thoroughly flush the inside of the equipment. The flushing component facilitates cleaning the equipment after use, keeps the equipment hygienic, reduces bacterial growth, and extends the service life of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it illustrates a tumbling machine for marinating chicken according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, comprising:
[0035] The outer casing 1 and the bottom cover 2 are fixed to the bottom of the outer casing 1;
[0036] Flipping component 4 is disposed inside the outer casing 1;
[0037] A pair of bottom covers 3 and a discharge assembly 5, the bottom covers 3 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer shell 1 by a pin, and the discharge assembly 5 is set inside the bottom cover 3 and the bottom cover 2;
[0038] The material turning assembly 4 includes a pair of rotating shafts 4-1, both of which are rotatably connected inside the housing 1. A material turning frame 4-2 is provided on the rotating shaft 4-1, and a transmission gear 4-3 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 4-1. A first motor 4-4 is installed on the outer surface of the housing 1, and the output end of the first motor 4-4 is connected to one of the rotating shafts 4-1.
[0039] In some examples, a special turning component 4 is designed to achieve the effect of repeatedly turning the chicken to accelerate the absorption of seasonings. This component includes a pair of rotating shafts 4-1, both of which are rotatably connected inside the outer shell 1. A turning frame 4-2 is provided on the rotating shafts 4-1. The rotating shafts 4-1 can rotate. During the rotation, the turning frame 4-2 pushes the chicken located in the center of the outer shell 1 to both sides. With the cooperation of the inner wall structure of the outer shell 1, the chicken is driven to circle around the inner wall of the outer shell 1 and then fall back to the center position. The effect of tumbling is achieved by repeatedly turning the chicken. The transmission gears 4-3 at one end of the two rotating shafts 4-1 and the first motor 4-4 control the rotation of one of the rotating shafts 4-1. With the cooperation of the transmission gears 4-3, the two rotating shafts 4-1 can rotate in opposite directions at the same time.
[0040] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a discharge assembly 5 including a pair of fixing rods 5-1, which are fixed at both ends of the bottom of the outer shell 1. A connecting rod 5-2 is provided on the bottom surface of the bottom cover 3. A telescopic cylinder 5-3 is rotatably connected between the fixing rods 5-1 and the connecting rods 5-2 through a pin. A pushing auger 5-4 is installed inside the bottom cover 2. The pushing auger 5-4 is rotated by a motor. An extension pipe 5-5 is provided on the outer surface of the bottom cover 2. The extension pipe 5-5 is connected to the bottom cover 2.
[0041] In some examples, to achieve rapid discharge, a discharge assembly 5 is specially designed. This assembly includes a pair of fixed rods 5-1, which are fixed to the two ends of the bottom of the outer shell 1. A telescopic cylinder 5-3 is connected between the connecting rod 5-2 at the bottom of the bottom cover 3 and the fixed rod 5-1. The two ends of the telescopic cylinder 5-3 are connected by pins. When the telescopic cavity retracts, it can pull the bottom cover 3 downward and rotate it open, allowing the chicken to fall directly into the bottom cover 2. The conveying auger inside the bottom cover 2 can push the chicken outward. Together with the extension pipe 5-5 set on the outside of the bottom cover 2, it is convenient to receive the processed chicken.
[0042] like Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment also includes a flushing assembly 6, which is disposed inside the top of the outer casing 1. The flushing assembly 6 includes an inner pipe 6-1, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the outer casing 1. A control motor 6-2 is provided on one side surface of the outer casing 1, and the output end of the control motor 6-2 is connected to the inner pipe 6-1. A connecting tube 6-3 is provided at one end of the inner pipe 6-1, and a plurality of flushing nozzles 6-4 are provided at the bottom of the inner pipe 6-1.
[0043] In some examples, a flushing assembly 6 is designed to achieve the effect of flushing the inside of the outer shell 1 and the bottom cover 2. This assembly includes an inner pipe 6-1 installed inside the top of the outer shell 1. The inner pipe 6-1 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 1. The output end of the control motor 6-2, which is fixed on the outer surface, is connected to the inner pipe 6-1 and can control the inner pipe 6-1 to rotate left and right. One end of the inner pipe 6-1 is located outside the outer shell 1 and is provided with a connecting pipe 6-3. The connecting pipe 6-3 can be connected to a water supply device. The flushing nozzle 6-4 at the bottom of the inner pipe 6-1 flushes the inside of the outer shell 1. During the flushing process, the inner pipe 6-1 can be controlled to rotate left and right by the control motor 6-2 to increase the flushing range inside the outer shell 1.
[0044] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a pair of baffles 7 are provided on the upper surface of the bottom cover 2, and the baffles 7 are connected at an inclined angle.
[0045] In some examples, a pair of baffles 7 are provided at both ends of the top of the bottom cover 2 to block the chicken discharge and rinsing water from entering the bottom cover 2 accurately without splashing to the outside.
[0046] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a pair of base covers 2 are arranged in a V-shape between a pair of rotating shafts 4-1.
[0047] In some examples, the herringbone structure creates a slope between the two bottom covers 2, which, in conjunction with the rotation trajectory of the tipping frame 4-2, creates the effect of tipping.
[0048] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the material turning rack 4-2 has an overall grid-like structure.
[0049] In some examples, the grid-like structure allows the chicken to move freely when flipped, preventing it from clumping together and accelerating the mixing and absorption of seasonings.
[0050] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the inner pipe 6-1 is located at the top of the center position inside the outer shell 1, and the inner pipe 6-1 can rotate 90° to each side.
[0051] In some examples, a 90° rotation angle ensures that all angles within housing 1 are flushed.
[0052] In actual use: Place the chicken and marinade into the outer shell 1, start the first motor 4-4 to drive the rotating shaft 4-1 and the turning rack 4-2 to rotate, tumbling and marinating the chicken. After marinating, start the telescopic cylinder 5-3 to open the bottom cover 3, allowing the chicken to fall into the bottom cover 2. Then start the push auger 5-4 to send the chicken out through the extension pipe 5-5. After use, connect the water supply equipment through the connecting pipe 6-3, start the control motor 6-2 to drive the inner pipe 6-1 to rotate, and use the flushing nozzle 6-4 to flush the inside of the outer shell 1 and the bottom cover 2.
