The position sensor 8 and the weight sensor 9 can be precisely controlled according to the weight and position of the hams to ensure that the curing effect of each ham is consistent and improve the quality of the hams. The conveyor motor 22, drive motor 423, electric control valve 12, servo motor 542, position sensor 8 and weight sensor 9 are all electrically connected to the controller 6. The controller 6 is designed to allow the operator to set the parameters of the operating speed of the conveyor mechanism 2, the amount of salt sprinkled, and the height and angle of the salting plate 43.

[0025] In this embodiment, firstly, the ham is placed on the conveyor belt 23. Then, the controller 6 starts the conveyor motor 22. The conveyor motor 22 drives the conveyor belt 23 to rotate via the transmission roller 21, thereby automatically conveying the ham at a set speed. After the ham is conveyed, the position sensor 8 detects the position of the ham, ensuring that the ham is directly below the salting pan 43. At this time, the weight sensor 9 detects the weight of the ham. Then, the position sensor 8 and the weight sensor 9 send the detection signals to the controller 6. The controller 6 calculates the required amount of salt based on the preset relationship between the amount of salt sprinkled and the weight of the ham, and then powers on the drive motor 423 to start. The drive motor 423 drives the spiral roller 422 to rotate at a set speed. The servo motor 542 rotates within the servo motor 11, thereby conveying and discharging the salt stored in the salt storage box 41. At this time, the controller 6 controls the electric control valve 12 to make the set salt drop above the salt spreading plate 43. At this time, the servo motor 542 is powered on, causing the servo motor 542 to drive the active connecting rod 543 to move up and down in a half-circle. This causes the active connecting rod 543 to drive the salt spreading plate 43 to swing in an angle adjustment manner through the interaction of the adjusting shaft 544 and the fixed shaft seat 545. This allows the salt drop above the salt spreading plate 43 to be evenly sprinkled onto the surface of the ham through the salt spreading holes. After the salting is completed, the ham continues to be conveyed forward with the conveyor belt 23 to enter the subsequent curing process, thus completing the salting operation of the ham.

[0026] Depending on the actual requirements of the ham curing process, operators can adjust parameters such as the conveyor belt speed, the height and angle of the salting tray through the control panel to achieve the best salting effect.
