Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cured meat processing technology, and in particular to a tumbling machine for cured meat processing. Background Technology

[0002] Tumblers, as a type of mechanical processing equipment, have emerged to meet this need. They simulate the action of hand kneading, using the rotation and tumbling of the drums to make the meat pieces roll, collide, and knead in the marinade environment. This greatly accelerates the diffusion and penetration of the marinade into the meat, and can also break down the muscle fiber structure of the meat, making the meat more tender and improving the marinating effect and efficiency. Existing tumblers for cured meat processing can basically meet daily use needs, but there are still some shortcomings that need to be improved.

[0003] The tumbling machines for processing cured meat that are widely used on the market require manual placement of meat pieces into the tumbling drum, followed by starting the motor to rotate the drum. However, in actual use, most tumbling drums have a side-opening design, requiring multiple hydraulic devices to lift them during discharge, resulting in high overall manufacturing costs and complex operation procedures, making them inconvenient to use. Therefore, we propose a tumbling machine for processing cured meat to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art mentioned above, the inventors conducted in-depth research and, after a great deal of creative work, completed this utility model.

[0005] Specifically, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a tumbling machine for processing cured meat, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A tumbling machine for processing cured meat includes a frame and a tumbling drum. The tumbling drum is rotatably connected to the upper end of the frame. A drive motor is installed at the top of the frame, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to the end of the tumbling drum via a pulley. A flap is rotatably connected to the opening on the tumbling drum. A hopper is installed at the top of the frame. A transport frame is provided below the tumbling drum. A handle is installed at the front end of the transport frame. Multiple sets of rollers are installed at the bottom end of the transport frame. Multiple sets of linear actuators are installed on the outer wall of the tumbling drum. A sleeve is installed at the output end of each linear actuator. Locking components are installed on both sides of the top of the frame.

[0008] As an improved technical solution, the locking assembly includes sleeves fixed on both sides of the bottom end of the frame, guide posts fixed in the middle of the sleeves, and movable blocks slidably connected to the outside of the guide posts. Each of the two sets of movable blocks has a card seat installed at one end opposite to the other, a crossbar installed at the front end of each of the two sets of movable blocks, and a return spring wound around the outside of each of the two sets of guide posts.

[0009] As an improved technical solution, guide plates are installed on both sides of the bottom end of the frame, and the front ends of the two sets of guide plates are designed in a figure-eight shape.

[0010] As an improved technical solution, the input terminals of both the drive motor and the linear driver are electrically connected to an external controller via wires.

[0011] As an improved technical solution, the two ends of the return spring outside the guide post are respectively connected to the inner wall of the sleeve and the outer wall of the movable block, and the movable block is elastically connected to the inner wall of the sleeve through the return spring.

[0012] As an improved technical solution, both sets of card holders are provided with card plates at the bottom, and the card holders can be locked onto the top two sides of the transport frame.

[0013] As an improved technical solution, the outer walls of both sets of guide plates are polished at opposite ends.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] I. This utility model features an opening in the middle of the tumbling drum, with a flap installed outside the opening. A linear actuator on the outside of the tumbling drum drives the sleeve frame to move laterally, allowing the sleeve frames on both sides of the tumbling drum to quickly move to the sides of the flap under the drive of the linear actuator, quickly locking the flap. Then, the opening on the tumbling drum can be rotated to the upper end by the hopper installed at the top of the frame, allowing the hopper to guide the meat pieces to be quickly and accurately put into the tumbling drum. Finally, the opening of the tumbling drum can be rotated to the lower end by the movable transport frame installed at the bottom of the frame, allowing the tumbling drum to quickly discharge the meat pieces into the transport frame. This facilitates the rapid collection and transportation of meat pieces, effectively improving the convenience of the device during use.

[0016] II. This utility model has adjustable mounting brackets installed on both sides of the bottom of the frame. When the transport frame pushes the tumbling drum downwards, the return spring outside the guide column can release the downward elastic force, allowing the movable block to drive the mounting brackets to quickly descend to the top of the transport frame. The two sets of mounting brackets limit the movement of the transport frame, thereby effectively preventing the transport frame from shifting when receiving meat pieces in the tumbling drum and improving the stability of the device during use.

[0028] Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a tumbling machine for processing cured meat, including a frame 1 and a tumbling drum 2. The tumbling drum 2 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the frame 1. A drive motor 3 is installed at the top of the frame 1. The output end of the drive motor 3 is connected to the end of the tumbling drum 2 through a pulley 4. A flap 5 is rotatably connected to the opening on the tumbling drum 2. A hopper 6 is installed at the top of the frame 1. A transport frame 7 is provided below the tumbling drum 2. A handle 8 is installed at the front end of the transport frame 7. Multiple sets of rollers 9 are installed at the bottom of the transport frame 7. Multiple sets of linear actuators 10 are installed on the outer wall of the tumbling drum 2. A sleeve frame 11 is installed at the output end of each linear actuator 10. Locking components are installed on both sides of the top of the frame 1.

[0029] By opening the middle of the tumbling drum 2 and installing a flap 5 outside the opening, the linear actuator 10 outside the tumbling drum 2 can drive the sleeve frame 11 to move laterally, allowing the sleeve frames 11 on both sides of the tumbling drum 2 to move quickly to both sides of the flap 5 under the drive of the linear actuator 10, quickly locking the flap 5. Then, the hopper 6 installed at the top of the frame 1 can rotate the opening on the tumbling drum 2 to the upper end, allowing the hopper 6 to guide the meat pieces to be quickly and accurately put into the tumbling drum 2. Then, the movable transport frame 7 installed at the bottom of the frame 1 can rotate the opening of the tumbling drum 2 to the bottom end, allowing the tumbling drum 2 to quickly discharge the meat pieces inside into the transport frame 7, thus facilitating the rapid collection and handling of the meat pieces and effectively improving the convenience of using the device.

[0030] In other embodiments, the locking assembly includes sleeves 12 fixed to both sides of the bottom end of the frame 1, guide posts 13 fixed to the middle of the sleeves 12, and movable blocks 14 slidably connected to the outside of the guide posts 13. Each set of movable blocks 14 has a card seat 15 installed at one end opposite to the other, a crossbar 16 installed at the front end of each set of movable blocks 14, and a return spring 17 wound around the outside of each set of guide posts 13.

[0031] By installing liftable brackets 15 on both sides of the bottom of the frame 1, when the transport frame 7 pushes the tumbling drum 2 downward, the return spring 17 outside the guide column 13 can release the downward elastic force, allowing the movable block 14 to drive the brackets 15 to quickly descend to the top of the transport frame 7, so that the two sets of brackets 15 can limit the movement of the transport frame 7, thereby effectively preventing the transport frame 7 from shifting when receiving meat pieces in the tumbling drum 2, and improving the stability of the device during use.

[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown, guide plates 18 are installed on both sides of the bottom end of the frame 1, and the front ends of the two sets of guide plates 18 are designed in the shape of the number "eight".

[0033] With this design, when it is necessary to push the transport frame 7 under the tumbling drum 2, the two sets of guide plates 18 can guide the transport frame 7, so that the transport frame 7 can be stably located in the middle of the bottom of the tumbling drum 2 under the action of the two sets of guide plates 18, thereby facilitating the quick positioning of the transport frame 7.

[0034] In other embodiments, the input terminals of both the drive motor 3 and the linear driver 10 are electrically connected to an external controller via wires;

[0035] This design allows an external controller to control the start and stop of the drive motor 3 and the linear driver 10 in real time, ensuring that the drive motor 3 and the linear driver 10 can be used normally.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the two ends of the return spring 17 outside the guide post 13 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 12 and the outer wall of the movable block 14. The movable block 14 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 12 through the return spring 17.

[0037] This design allows the return spring 17 outside the guide post 13 to apply a downward elastic force to the movable block 14, enabling the movable block 14 to drive the card holder 15 to move quickly downward along the guide post 13, allowing the card holder 15 to move quickly to the top of the transport frame 7.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, both sets of card holders 15 are equipped with card plates at the bottom, and the card holders 15 can be locked onto the top two sides of the transport frame 7.

[0039] This design allows the card holder 15 to move the card plate to the top of the transport frame 7, ensuring that the card holder 15 can stably limit the movement of the transport frame 7 below the tumbling drum 2.

[0040] In other embodiments, the outer walls of both sets of guide plates 18 are polished at opposite ends;

[0041] This design effectively reduces the friction between the two sets of guide plates 18 and the outer wall of the transport frame 7, thereby facilitating the two sets of guide plates 18 to guide the transport frame 7.

[0042] This utility model provides a tumbling machine for processing cured meat, the specific working principle of which is as follows:

[0043] When using this equipment, drive motor 3 is activated to rotate the tumbling drum 2 and the flap 5 to the top. Then, the linear actuator 10 outside the tumbling drum 2 is activated, causing the frame sleeves 11 to move to both sides, allowing the two sets of frame sleeves 11 to move away from the flap 5 and release the lock on the flap 5. Then, the flap 5 is rotated open, and the meat pieces to be processed are put into the hopper 6, allowing the hopper 6 to guide the meat pieces accurately into the tumbling drum 2. Then, the flap 5 is closed, and the linear actuator 10 moves the frame sleeves 11 to the outside of the flap 5 to lock the flap 5. Finally, drive motor 3 is activated. 3. Let the tumbling drum 2 rotate the meat pieces inside, turning and flipping them. After the meat pieces are processed, let the tumbling drum 2 rotate the flip plate 5 to the bottom, and then open the flip plate 5 again, allowing the meat pieces inside the tumbling drum 2 to fall into the transport frame 7, quickly completing the unloading. Then, lift the crossbar 16 upward, allowing the crossbar 16 to move the two sets of movable blocks 14 and the card holders 15 upward, allowing the two sets of card holders 15 to leave the top of the transport frame 7, releasing the lock on the transport frame 7. Then, push the handle 8 on the outside of the transport frame 7, allowing the transport frame 7 to move the meat pieces. The operation is now complete.

[0044] The electrical components mentioned in this article are all electrically connected to an external main controller and industrial power supply, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that provides control.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
