Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of beef tenderizing technology, and specifically relates to a beef directional tenderizing ultrasonic treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] The directional tenderizing ultrasonic processing equipment for beef is a modern non-thermal processing device that uses high-intensity focused ultrasonic energy to precisely target specific areas inside the beef (such as connective tissue). Through cavitation effect and mechanical vibration, it physically destroys the structure of muscle fibers and collagen, thereby significantly improving the tenderness of specific parts while maximizing the preservation of the beef's integrity and flavor.

[0003] In existing ultrasonic processing equipment for directional tenderizing of beef, the beef is first placed on the surface of a tray inside the processing chamber. Then the equipment is started, and the ultrasonic generator produces a high-frequency electrical signal, which is converted into mechanical vibration by the transducer. The vibration energy is transmitted to the beef through a coupling agent. Under the action of cavitation effect and mechanical shear force, the muscle fibers and connective tissue are destroyed, thus achieving tenderization.

[0004] However, the processing end of existing ultrasonic beef tenderizing equipment is usually fixed and cannot adapt to the differences in the direction of muscle fibers in different parts. Vertically incident ultrasound can effectively destroy longitudinal fibers (such as the top of the longissimus dorsi muscle in beef) and is suitable for processing the surface of long strips of meat. However, for parts with variable lateral fiber direction (such as brisket) or cross fibers, ultrasound with multiple angles is required to effectively destroy the transversely connected fascia and achieve overall tenderization of the cut of beef. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problem that the processing end of ultrasonic beef tenderizing equipment in related technologies is usually fixed and cannot adapt to the differences in the orientation of muscle fibers in different parts, this utility model proposes a directional tenderizing ultrasonic processing equipment for beef to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is a beef directional tenderizing ultrasonic processing device, including a cabinet, an ultrasonic mechanism at the bottom of the cabinet, a synchronous drive mechanism at the top of the cabinet, an elastic clamping mechanism at the drive end of the synchronous drive mechanism, a reciprocating swing mechanism at the drive end of the synchronous drive mechanism, and an elastic telescopic mechanism at the swing end of the reciprocating swing mechanism.

[0008] The elastic clamping mechanism is used to clamp and fix the beef. The synchronous drive mechanism drives the beef to rotate through the elastic clamping mechanism, while driving the swing end of the reciprocating swing mechanism to swing back and forth, so that the swing end drives the ultrasonic processing end of the elastic telescopic mechanism to swing back and forth.

[0009] Furthermore, the ultrasonic mechanism includes an ultrasonic transducer, and several ultrasonic transducers are provided. The ultrasonic transducers are fixedly connected inside the cabinet. A placement tray is fixedly connected inside the cabinet. The ultrasonic wave generating end of the ultrasonic transducer contacts the bottom of the placement tray. A turntable is rotatably connected inside the placement tray.

[0010] Furthermore, a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement tray, and one end of the discharge pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the cabinet.

[0011] Furthermore, the elastic clamping mechanism includes a rotating rod rotatably connected inside the cabinet. A clamping rod is slidably connected inside the rotating rod. A spring is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping rod, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected inside the rotating rod. A fixed plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the clamping rod, and several toothed rings are fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the synchronous drive mechanism includes a motor, which is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet. A first gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and a second gear meshes with the surface of the first gear. The second gear is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the reciprocating swing mechanism includes a rotating column, which is fixedly connected to one side of the first gear. A lifting groove is provided on the surface of the rotating column, and a reciprocating rod is slidably connected in the lifting groove. A rack is fixedly connected to one end of the reciprocating rod, and a third gear meshes on the surface of the rack. The rack is slidably connected inside the cabinet.

[0014] Furthermore, the elastic telescopic mechanism includes a reciprocating column rotatably connected inside the cabinet. One end of the reciprocating column is fixedly connected to a third gear. A side rod is rotatably connected inside the reciprocating column. A telescopic head is slidably connected to one end of the side rod. A ball bearing is rotatably connected to one end of the telescopic head. A second spring is fixedly connected to the other end of the telescopic head. The second spring is fixedly connected inside the side rod. An adjusting bolt is threaded to one end of the side rod. The adjusting bolt is slidably connected inside the reciprocating column. The ultrasonic transducer is fixedly connected inside the telescopic head.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model uses an elastic clamping mechanism to clamp and fix the beef. The synchronous drive mechanism drives the beef to rotate through the elastic clamping mechanism, while simultaneously driving the swing end of the reciprocating swing mechanism to swing back and forth. This causes the swing end to drive the ultrasonic processing end of the elastic telescopic mechanism to swing back and forth, thus tenderizing the beef from multiple angles. This design allows ultrasonic waves to be incident on the beef from multiple angles and directions, accurately matching the muscle orientation characteristics of different parts such as the cross fibers on the side of the brisket and the longitudinal fibers on the back of the beef, significantly improving the uniformity of beef tenderization and processing efficiency.

[0017] 2. This utility model allows for the adjustment of the telescopic head angle at one end of the side rod by loosening and flipping the adjusting bolt, which causes the side rod to rotate inside the reciprocating column. This facilitates the adjustment of the telescopic head angle to accommodate beef of different thicknesses, ensuring that the telescopic head swings within the center range of the beef thickness. This ensures that the ultrasonic emission direction accurately covers the core area of ​​the beef, effectively avoiding energy waste and processing blind spots, and significantly improving the equipment's versatility.

[0028] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a beef directional tenderizing ultrasonic processing device, including a cabinet 1, an ultrasonic mechanism 2 is provided at the bottom of the cabinet 1, a synchronous drive mechanism 3 is provided at the top of the cabinet 1, an elastic clamping mechanism 4 is provided at the drive end of the synchronous drive mechanism 3, a reciprocating swing mechanism 5 is also provided at the drive end of the synchronous drive mechanism 3, and an elastic telescopic mechanism 6 is provided at the swing end of the reciprocating swing mechanism 5.

[0031] The elastic clamping mechanism 4 is used to clamp and fix the beef. The synchronous drive mechanism 3 drives the beef to rotate through the elastic clamping mechanism 4, and at the same time drives the swing end of the reciprocating swing mechanism 5 to swing back and forth, so that its swing end drives the ultrasonic processing end of the elastic telescopic mechanism 6 to swing back and forth.

[0032] By opening the cabinet door of cabinet 1, the beef is placed on the surface of the ultrasonic mechanism 2 and clamped and fixed by the elastic clamping mechanism 4. Then, cabinet 1 is closed, and the ultrasonic mechanism 2 is started to tenderize the beef. At the same time, the synchronous drive mechanism 3 drives the beef to rotate through the elastic clamping mechanism 4, while driving the swing end of the reciprocating swing mechanism 5 to swing back and forth. This causes the swing end to drive the ultrasonic processing end of the elastic telescopic mechanism 6 to swing back and forth, thus tenderizing the beef from multiple angles. After completion, the cabinet door of cabinet 1 is opened and the beef is taken out.

[0033] The beef is clamped and fixed by the elastic clamping mechanism 4. At the same time, the synchronous drive mechanism 3 drives the beef to rotate through the elastic clamping mechanism 4, and drives the swing end of the reciprocating swing mechanism 5 to swing back and forth. This causes the swing end to drive the ultrasonic processing end of the elastic telescopic mechanism 6 to swing back and forth, thus tenderizing the beef from multiple angles. This design allows the ultrasonic waves to enter the beef from multiple angles and directions, accurately matching the muscle direction characteristics of different parts such as the cross fibers on the side of the brisket and the longitudinal fibers on the back of the beef, significantly improving the uniformity of beef tenderization and processing efficiency.

[0034] In one embodiment, the ultrasonic mechanism 2 includes an ultrasonic transducer 201, and a plurality of ultrasonic transducers 201 are provided. The ultrasonic transducers 201 are fixedly connected inside the cabinet 1. A placement tray 202 is fixedly connected inside the cabinet 1. The ultrasonic generating end of the ultrasonic transducer 201 contacts the bottom of the placement tray 202. A turntable 203 is rotatably connected inside the placement tray 202. A discharge pipe 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement tray 202. One end of the discharge pipe 204 is fixedly connected to one side of the cabinet 1.

[0035] By opening the cabinet door of cabinet 1, the beef is placed on the surface of turntable 203 in the placement tray 202, cabinet 1 is closed, and ultrasonic transducer 201 is activated so that the ultrasonic wave generating end of ultrasonic transducer 201 tenderizes the beef. During the tenderizing process, the blood of the beef flows out through discharge pipe 204, and the turntable 203 and placement tray 202 are sealed.

[0036] In addition, the ultrasonic transducer 201 tenderizes beef by converting electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibrations of ultrasound. It adheres to the surface of the beef in a combination of array-type multi-point contact and rolling contact. When the ultrasound penetrates the beef tissue, it generates a cavitation effect, causing microbubbles to form, grow and burst, destroying muscle fibers and connective tissue. At the same time, the mechanical vibration causes fiber breakage and cell structure disintegration, reducing the hardness and toughness of the meat, ultimately achieving beef tenderization.

[0037] In one embodiment, the elastic clamping mechanism 4 includes a rotating rod 401 rotatably connected inside the cabinet 1. A clamping rod 402 is slidably connected inside the rotating rod 401. A spring 403 is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping rod 402, and one end of the spring 403 is fixedly connected inside the rotating rod 401. A fixed disk 404 is fixedly connected to the other end of the clamping rod 402. A plurality of toothed rings 405 are fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed disk 404.

[0038] When the beef is placed on the surface of the turntable 203 by moving the clamping rod 402 upward, the clamping rod 402 is released, causing the spring 403 to drive the clamping rod 402 to slide inside the rotating rod 401. At the same time, the other end of the clamping rod 402 drives several toothed rings 405 on the surface of the fixed plate 404 to contact the beef and clamp and fix it. When the rotating rod 401 rotates, the clamping rod 402 is driven to drive the beef and the turntable 203 to rotate synchronously.

[0039] In one embodiment, the synchronous drive mechanism 3 includes a motor 301, which is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet 1. The output shaft of the motor 301 is fixedly connected to a first gear 302, and a second gear 303 meshes with the surface of the first gear 302. The second gear 303 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 401.

[0040] The motor 301 drives the first gear 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 303 to rotate, and the second gear 303 drives the rotating rod 401 to rotate.

[0041] In one embodiment, the reciprocating swing mechanism 5 includes a rotating column 501, which is fixedly connected to one side of the first gear 302. A lifting groove 502 is provided on the surface of the rotating column 501. A reciprocating rod 503 is slidably connected in the lifting groove 502. A rack 504 is fixedly connected to one end of the reciprocating rod 503. A third gear 505 meshes on the surface of the rack 504. The rack 504 is slidably connected inside the cabinet 1.

[0042] The rotation of the first gear 302 drives the rotation of the rotating column 501, which in turn drives the reciprocating rod 503 to move back and forth along the lifting groove 502. The reciprocating rod 503 drives the rack 504 to move back and forth, and the rack 504 drives the third gear 505 to rotate back and forth.

[0043] In one embodiment, the elastic telescopic mechanism 6 includes a reciprocating column 601 rotatably connected inside the cabinet 1. One end of the reciprocating column 601 is fixedly connected to a third gear 505. A side rod 602 is rotatably connected inside the reciprocating column 601. A telescopic head 603 is slidably connected to one end of the side rod 602. A ball bearing 604 is rotatably connected to one end of the telescopic head 603. A second spring 605 is fixedly connected to the other end of the telescopic head 603. The second spring 605 is fixedly connected inside the side rod 602. An adjusting bolt 606 is threadedly connected to one end of the side rod 602. The adjusting bolt 606 is slidably connected inside the reciprocating column 601. The ultrasonic transducer 201 is fixedly connected inside the telescopic head 603.

[0044] The reciprocating column 601 is driven to rotate by the third gear 505, causing the reciprocating column 601 to drive the side rod 602 and the telescopic head 603 to swing back and forth along the side of the beef. The telescopic head 603 slides inside the side rod 602 through the second spring 605, so that the telescopic head 603 drives the ball bearing 604 to keep in contact with the side of the beef. When the beef rotates, the ball bearing 604 rolls on the side of the beef. The ultrasonic transducer 201 inside the telescopic head 603 realizes ultrasonic tenderization of the side of the beef. The angle of the telescopic head 603 at one end of the side rod 602 can be adjusted by loosening the adjusting bolt 606 and flipping the adjusting bolt 606 to make the side rod 602 flip inside the reciprocating column 601. This can be used to adapt to beef of different thicknesses and make its swing angle within the center range of the beef thickness. Then, the adjusting bolt 606 is locked so that the adjusting bolt 606 contacts and presses against one end of the reciprocating column 601 to achieve locking.

[0045] Through the above technical solution, 1. By opening the cabinet door of cabinet 1 and moving the clamping rod 402 upward, when the beef is placed on the surface of turntable 203, the clamping rod 402 is released, causing spring 403 to drive the clamping rod 402 to slide inside the rotating rod 401. At the same time, the other end of the clamping rod 402 drives several toothed rings 405 on the surface of the fixed plate 404 to contact the beef, clamping and fixing the beef. After closing cabinet 1, the ultrasonic transducer 201 is activated, so that the ultrasonic wave generating end of the ultrasonic transducer 201 tenderizes the beef. The motor 301 drives the first gear 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 303 to rotate. The second gear 303 drives the rotating rod 401 to rotate. When the rotating rod 401 rotates, it drives the clamping rod. 402 drives the beef and turntable 203 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the third gear 505 drives the reciprocating column 601 to rotate, causing the reciprocating column 601 to drive the side rod 602 and the telescopic head 603 to swing back and forth along the side of the beef. Through the second spring 605, the telescopic head 603 slides inside the side rod 602, so that the telescopic head 603 drives the ball 604 to keep in contact with the side of the beef. When the beef rotates, the ball 604 rolls on the side of the beef. Through the ultrasonic transducer 201 inside the telescopic head 603, ultrasonic tenderizing is achieved on the side of the beef. This allows the ultrasonic waves to enter the beef from multiple angles and directions, accurately matching the muscle direction characteristics of different parts such as the cross fibers on the side of the beef brisket and the longitudinal fibers on the back of the beef, significantly improving the uniformity of beef tenderizing and processing efficiency.

[0046] 2. By loosening the adjusting bolt 606 and flipping it, the side rod 602 is rotated inside the reciprocating column 601, thereby adjusting the angle of the telescopic head 603 at one end of the side rod 602. This allows for easy adaptation to beef of different thicknesses, ensuring that the angle of the telescopic head 603 swings within the center range of the beef thickness. This ensures that the ultrasonic emission direction accurately covers the core area of ​​the beef, effectively avoiding energy waste and processing blind spots, and significantly improving the equipment's versatility.
