Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of boneless chicken feet processing, and in particular to a vacuum tumbling device for boneless chicken feet with automatic feeding function. Background Technology
[0002] Boneless chicken feet vacuum tumbling is a highly efficient marinating process. Boneless chicken feet and seasonings are placed in a vacuum tumbling machine. The negative pressure environment causes the meat fibers to relax, accelerating the penetration of the marinade. The uniform rotation of the drum ensures that the chicken feet are evenly stressed, achieving a gentle massage. This process maintains the chicken feet's shape and promotes collagen release, resulting in a tender, flavorful texture. At the same time, the vacuum state inhibits bacterial growth, improving product safety and yield.
[0003] Traditional boneless chicken feet vacuum tumbling requires manual feeding, which is inefficient, labor-intensive, and poses high hygiene risks. Workers need to frequently add raw materials, which not only increases labor costs but also makes it easy for contamination to be introduced through manual contact, failing to meet the high hygiene standards of food processing. At the same time, the feeding speed limits production capacity. In addition, during the mixing process, chicken feet tend to accumulate at the bottom or edge of the tumbling drum, making it difficult to achieve all-round massage. This results in some chicken feet not being fully in contact with the marinade, affecting the flavor absorption, causing uneven tenderness, and some products having a tough texture, thus affecting the overall quality.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of traditional boneless chicken feet vacuum tumbling, which requires manual feeding, resulting in low efficiency, high labor intensity, and high hygiene risks, workers need to frequently add raw materials, which not only increases labor costs but also easily introduces contamination due to manual contact. Furthermore, during the mixing process, chicken feet tend to accumulate at the bottom or edge of the tumbling drum, making it difficult to achieve all-round massage and causing some chicken feet to not fully contact the marinade, thus affecting the flavor absorption, a boneless chicken feet vacuum tumbling equipment with an automatic feeding function can be designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of traditional boneless chicken feet vacuum tumbling, which requires manual feeding, resulting in low efficiency, high labor intensity, and high hygiene risks, workers need to frequently feed raw materials, which not only increases labor costs but also easily introduces contamination due to human contact.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment: a boneless chicken feet vacuum tumbling device with automatic feeding function includes a base plate 1; it also includes a material frame 8. Two connecting plates 24 are provided on the top of the base plate 1. A motor 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the right connecting plate 24. The output end of the motor 3 passes through the connecting plate 24 and is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 2, which is rotatably connected to the base plate 1. A limiting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the right connecting plate 24. Two identical limiting rods 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the left connecting plate 24, which are fixedly connected to the base plate 1. Two movable plates 5 are provided on the upper end of the base plate 1. The movable plates 5 are threadedly connected to the threaded rod 2 and slidably connected to the limiting rods 4. A motor 6 is fixedly connected to the left end of the left movable plate 5. A rotating frame 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 6, which is rotatably connected to the movable plate 5. The interior of the rotating frame 7 is movable. A feed frame 8 is connected, with a piston 9 fixedly connected to the front end of the feed frame 8. A fixed plate 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the piston 9. The fixed plate 10 is slidably connected to the feed frame 8. A motor 3 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 10. A guide plate 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 3 11. The guide plate 12 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 10. The feed frame 8, filled with chicken feet and seasonings, is placed in the rotating frame 7. The motor 3 drives the threaded rod 2 to rotate, moving the feed frame 8 upward to a suitable position. Then, the motor 3 11 rotates the guide plate 12, and at the same time, the piston 9 pushes the guide plate 12 upward, aligning the guide plate 12 with the vacuum tank 15. Finally, the rotating frame 7 rotates, causing the feed frame 8 to rotate and pour the chicken feet and seasonings into the vacuum tank 15 through the guide plate 12. This enables automatic feeding of boneless chicken feet, reducing hygiene risks, labor costs, and increasing feeding speed and production capacity.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, grooves 16 are provided on both the left and right sides of the feed frame 8. A fixing block 13 is fixedly connected to the front end of the feed frame 8, and a rotating block 14 is rotatably connected to the front end of the rotating frame 7. The two grooves 16 facilitate lifting the feed frame 8 from the rotating frame 7. When the feed frame 8 is placed on the rotating frame 7, the rotating block 14 is inserted into the square groove on the fixing block 13. A square groove is provided at the bottom of the fixing block 13. The rotating block 14 is movably connected to the fixing block 13. Then, the rotating block 14 is rotated to lock the rotating block 14 and the fixing block 13, preventing the feed frame 8 from moving when the chicken feet are poured. A vacuum tank 15 is rotatably connected to the upper rear position of the bottom plate 1. A spiral plate 17 is provided inside the vacuum tank 15. The chicken feet are poured into the vacuum tank 15 for tumbling. The spiral plate 17 drives the chicken feet and seasonings piled up below the vacuum tank 15 upward, making them roll.
[0027] Please see Figures 2-5In this embodiment, a vacuum cover 18 is movably connected to the front end of the vacuum tank 15, and a vacuum cover 29 is movably connected to the rear end of the vacuum tank 15. The vacuum tank 15 is sealed by the vacuum cover 18 and the vacuum cover 29. Then, an external instrument is used to extract the air from the vacuum tank 15 to maintain a vacuum state. Two motors 4 20 are fixedly connected to the top rear position of the base plate 1. A rotating wheel 21 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4 20. The motor 4 20 drives the rotating wheel 21 to rotate. When the rotating wheel 21 rotates, it drives the vacuum tank 15 to rotate. The rotating wheel 21 is rotatably connected to the vacuum tank 15. A connecting block 22 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the rotating wheel 21. The connecting block 22 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. A discharge plate 23 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the vacuum tank 15. After tumbling, the vacuum cover 29 is opened to pour out the chicken feet in the vacuum tank 15. The discharge plate 23 plays a guiding role to prevent the chicken feet from falling to the outside.
[0028] During operation, the hopper 8 filled with chicken feet and seasonings is placed inside the rotating frame 7. Then, motor 3 is started to rotate the threaded rod 2, causing the moving plate 5 to move the rotating frame 7 upward to the appropriate position. At the same time, the moving plate 5 slides on the limit rod 4. Then, motor 11 is started to rotate the guide plate 12, and piston 9 pushes the guide plate 12 upward to align it with the vacuum tank 15. Then, motor 6 is started to rotate the rotating frame 7, causing the hopper 8 to rotate and pour the chicken feet and seasonings into the vacuum tank 15 through the guide plate 12. During use, the hopper 8 can be easily lifted from the rotating frame 7 through the two grooves 16. When the hopper 8 is placed on the rotating frame 7, the rotating block 14 inserts into the fixing block. Inside the square groove on 13, rotate the rotating block 14 to lock it with the fixed block 13, preventing the feed frame 8 from moving when the chicken feet are poured out. Then, seal the vacuum tank 15 with vacuum cover one 18 and vacuum cover two 19. Use external equipment to extract the air from the vacuum tank 15 to keep it in a vacuum state. Motor four 20 drives the rotating wheel 21 to rotate. When the rotating wheel 21 rotates, it drives the vacuum tank 15 to rotate. The chicken feet are tumbled in the vacuum tank 15. The spiral plate 17 pulls the chicken feet and seasonings piled up below the vacuum tank 15 upwards, making them roll. After tumbling, open the vacuum cover two 19 to pour out the chicken feet in the vacuum tank 15. The discharge plate 23 acts as a guide to prevent the chicken feet from falling to the outside.
[0029] Through the above steps, the material frame 8 filled with chicken feet and seasonings is placed in the rotating frame 7. Then, motor 3 is started to drive the threaded rod 2 to rotate, so that the moving plate 5 moves the rotating frame 7 upward to the appropriate position. At the same time, the moving plate 5 slides on the limit rod 4. Then, motor 11 is started to drive the guide plate 12 to rotate, and piston 9 pushes the guide plate 12 upward to align the guide plate 12 with the vacuum tank 15. Then, motor 6 is started to drive the rotating frame 7 to rotate, which drives the material frame 8 to rotate and pour the chicken feet and seasonings into the vacuum tank 15 through the guide plate 12. This solves the problem that traditional boneless chicken feet vacuum tumbling requires manual feeding, which has the disadvantages of low efficiency, high labor intensity, and high hygiene risks. Workers need to frequently feed raw materials, which not only increases labor costs but also easily introduces contamination due to manual contact. At the same time, the feeding speed limits the increase in production capacity.
