Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of meat marinating technology, and in particular relates to a meat marinating device. Background Technology

[0002] Among the foods people consume daily, some require marinating, with duck tongues being a prime example. Duck tongues have firm meat and a small size, making them difficult to fully absorb flavor without marinating. Traditional duck tongue marinating relies heavily on manual labor. The process involves applying marinade to each tongue individually and repeatedly rubbing it, a tedious and time-consuming process with low production efficiency. Furthermore, manual labor makes it difficult to ensure uniformity and consistency in marinating each tongue, hindering the ability to meet large-scale market demands. In fact, not only duck tongues, but most meats also suffer from poor flavor absorption without marinating. Currently, most meat marinating is also primarily manual, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, severely restricting industrialized production. Therefore, to solve these problems, various meat marinating devices have emerged on the market.

[0003] Chinese patent CN 222853065 U discloses a meat marinating device, comprising: a base, with a device housing connected to the upper surface of the base via a slot, and a temperature sensor disposed on the upper surface of the device housing; and a temperature control mechanism disposed inside the device housing, including: a heating wire, a fan, a vortex tube, and a vortex block, wherein the heating wire is fixedly disposed on the inner walls of the front, back, left, and right sides of the device housing. This meat marinating device, by incorporating a temperature control mechanism inside the device housing, allows for marinating in different seasons and regions. Furthermore, a stirring and mixing mechanism is disposed inside the temperature sensor, preventing the meat from being marinated in the same place and thus avoiding insufficient marinating. Additionally, a marinade circulation mechanism is disposed on the left side of the device housing, allowing for the reuse of marinade and meat juices, maximizing the benefits of the marinade.

[0004] However, existing technologies have the following problems when used:

[0005] Firstly, the equipment lacks the ability to prepare multiple marinades. Traditional equipment is usually only equipped with a single marinade container, making it difficult to prepare multiple flavor marinades at the same time. If a recipe needs to be changed, the container needs to be cleaned frequently and the raw materials need to be replaced. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to cross-contamination, and cannot meet the needs of food companies for multi-category and batch production.

[0006] Secondly, the level of automated feeding is low. When transferring the marinade from the mixing container to the marinating container, it mostly relies on manual handling or simple pouring, lacking precise metering control, which easily leads to material spillage and waste. At the same time, it is impossible to achieve automated conveying and quantitative addition, resulting in fluctuations in the marinating quality of different batches of products, making it difficult to ensure standardized production.

[0007] Third, the equipment integration and space utilization are poor. Traditional pickling equipment mostly adopts a split structure, with the pickling, transportation and pickling processes being independent of each other. The equipment layout is scattered and occupies a lot of workshop space. Moreover, the connection pipelines are complicated, which increases the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance, and is not conducive to enterprises reducing costs and increasing efficiency and expanding production scale.

[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a meat marinating apparatus includes:

[0035] A support 1 is provided, on which a marinating container 2 is provided, and a feeding port 3 is provided on the top of the marinating container 2;

[0036] The configuration container assembly 4 includes several configuration container bodies 5. A stirring mechanism 6 is provided inside the configuration container body 5. A discharge port 7 is provided at the bottom of the configuration container body 5. The discharge port 7 is connected to a feeding device 9 through a pipe 8. The discharge end 10 of the feeding device 9 is located above the feeding port 3.

[0037] By setting up several configuration container bodies 5, multiple marinating materials (such as sauces and marinades of different flavors) can be prepared simultaneously. The stirring mechanism 6 inside the configuration container body 5 can fully mix the marinating raw materials (such as salt, sugar, spices, liquids, etc.) to ensure uniform marinating composition and improve marinating effect. The discharge port 7 of the configuration container is connected to the feeding device 9 through the pipeline 8, which can transport the prepared marinating material to the feeding port 3 above the marinating container 2 to complete the addition of marinating material. Compared with the prior art, this utility model integrates the marinating container 2 and the configuration container assembly 4 into an integrated device, which occupies less space, can effectively meet diverse marinating needs, and improve production efficiency.

[0038] In this embodiment, a side bracket 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the bracket 1. A placement hole 12 is vertically opened on the side bracket 11. The outer diameter of the upper half of the container body 5 is larger than the outer diameter of its lower half. The container body 5 is inserted into the corresponding placement hole 12 through the outer diameter difference.

[0039] With the above structural design, the main body of the container 5 is inserted into the placement hole 12 of the side bracket 11, which makes it easy to disassemble, clean or replace the main body of the container 5, and is easy to maintain. The number or position of the main body of the container 5 can be adjusted according to production needs (such as adding or removing containers or replacing the placement hole 12) to adapt to different pickling processes.

[0040] In this embodiment, a first rotary drive motor 13 is installed on the side of the support 1 on one side of the pickling container 2. The drive end of the first rotary drive motor 13 extends through the side of the pickling container 2 and is rotatably connected to the pickling container 2 through a sealed bearing. A stirring shaft 15 is installed on the drive end of the first rotary drive motor 13, and several actuating plates 16 are installed on the outer side of the stirring shaft 15.

[0041] Through the above structural design, the first rotary drive motor 13 can drive the stirring shaft 15 and the agitator plate 16 to rotate, turning and stirring the meat in the marinating container 2, so that the marinade is evenly attached and the marinating time is shortened.

[0042] In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the marinating container 2 is provided with a first cavity 17 and a second cavity 18. The first cavity 17 is cylindrical, and the center of the stirring shaft 15 corresponds to the center of the first cavity 17. The second cavity 18 is located below the first cavity 17. A filter screen 19 is provided between the second cavity 18 and the first cavity 17, and the second cavity 18 and the first cavity 17 are connected through the filter screen 19. The filter screen 19 is made of 304 stainless steel. A discharge pipe 20 is provided at the bottom of the marinating container 2. The top end of the discharge pipe 20 is connected to the second cavity 18. A valve 21 is provided on the discharge pipe 20. The valve 21 can be a manual valve or a solenoid valve.

[0043] The end of the agitator 16 away from the stirring shaft 15 abuts against the inner wall of the first cavity 17, and the curvature of the agitator 16 at this end is adapted to the curvature of the inner wall of the first cavity 17. The feeding port 3 is opened on the front side of the top of the pickling container 2.

[0044] Through the above structural design, the inner cavity of the marinating container 2 is divided into a first cavity 17 (columnar, used for marinating meat) and a second cavity 18 (below, connected to the first cavity 17 through a filter screen 19). During the marinating process, excess marinade can flow into the second cavity 18 through the filter screen 19, avoiding the meat from soaking for too long and becoming soft and mushy.

[0045] Furthermore, since the discharge pipe 20 at the bottom of the second chamber 18 is connected to the valve 21, the marinade waste liquid can be discharged after marinating is completed, or the marinade can be recycled and reused when needed, reducing material waste;

[0046] The filter screen 19 can also intercept meat scraps or solid impurities to prevent clogging of the discharge pipe 20, while maintaining the cleanliness of the marinade.

[0047] Furthermore, the close fit between the agitator plate 16 and the inner wall of the first cavity 17 reduces material accumulation at the edges during stirring, allowing for the full movement of meat materials and preventing insufficient marinating in certain areas. This is especially suitable for the uniform marinating of large pieces of meat.

[0048] In this embodiment, a gear ring 22 is installed at one end of the outer side of the pickling container 2, and a second rotary drive motor 23 is installed on the bracket 1. A drive gear 24 is installed at the drive end of the second rotary drive motor 23, and the drive gear 24 meshes with the gear ring 22.

[0049] Through the above structural design, the second rotary drive motor 23 can drive the drive gear 24 to mesh with the gear ring 22, so that the marinating container 2 can be flipped under the support of the first rotary drive motor 13 and the corresponding sealed bearing (when the first rotary drive motor 13 rotates the stirring shaft 15, the marinating container 2 remains stationary under the locking action of the second rotary drive motor 23 and the drive gear 24. The second rotary drive motor 23 is a servo motor that can lock itself when it stops running. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here). After marinating is completed, by controlling the second rotary drive motor 23 to rotate the angle of the marinating container 2, the marinating container 2 can be tilted or completely flipped, so that the meat can slide out automatically under the action of gravity, avoiding the problem of incomplete discharge caused by material sticking or residue on the inner wall of the container when manually pouring.

[0050] Furthermore, this design replaces manual labor with mechanical drive, reducing the labor intensity of operators. It is especially suitable for material transfer in large-capacity pickling containers 2, reducing safety hazards caused by excessive material weight, and solving the problem that traditional pickling containers 2 require manual handling or dumping for material discharge, which has high labor intensity and high safety risks.

[0051] After the pickling container 2 is rotated to pour out the material, the residual material on the inner wall is greatly reduced. With the auxiliary stirring of the internal stirring shaft 15 and the agitator 16, the pickling residue attached to the container wall can be further loosened, making it easier to clean later, improving the cleaning efficiency of the equipment and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0052] In this embodiment, the stirring mechanism 6 includes a third rotary drive motor 25 and a stirring element 26 installed at the drive end of the third rotary drive motor 25. The drive end of the third rotary drive motor 25 rotates through the side of the configuration container body 5 to the inner cavity of the configuration container body 5, and the stirring element 26 is rotatably disposed inside the configuration container body 5.

[0053] Through the above structural design, the third rotary drive motor 25 can drive the stirring component 26 to rotate inside the main body of the container 5, so as to fully mix the marinade ingredients (such as sauces, spices, and liquids) and ensure the uniformity of the formula. This design allows the added ingredients to be mixed directly in the main body of the container 5, in addition to liquids, solid ingredients and liquid ingredients, which facilitates the addition of solid ingredients.

[0054] The drive end of the third rotary drive device rotates through the side of the container body 5, and can prevent material leakage through the sealed bearing, ensuring the sealing and safety of the stirring process.

[0055] In this embodiment, the feeding device 9 includes a mounting frame 27 mounted on the top of the support 1, a lifting drive mechanism 28 mounted on the top of the mounting frame 27, a piston rod 29 disposed at the driving end of the lifting drive mechanism 28, a piston component 30 mounted on the end of the piston rod 29 away from the lifting drive mechanism 28, and a cylinder 31 movably mounted on the outside of the piston component 30. The piston component 30 is movably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 31. The cylinder 31 is fixedly inserted through the top of the support 1, and the discharge end 10 is opened at the bottom of the cylinder 31.

[0056] The end of the pipeline 8 away from the discharge port 7 is installed at the communication port 14 on the lower side of the cylinder 31, and this end of the pipeline 8 is connected to the inside of the cylinder 31 through a one-way valve 33.

[0057] Through the above structural design, the lifting drive mechanism 28 (in this embodiment, a cylinder or an electric push rod can be used) drives the piston 30 to reciprocate within the cylinder 31 via the piston rod 29. The piston principle is used to realize the intake and extrusion of the marinade. By controlling the stroke of the piston rod 29, the amount of material added can be precisely adjusted to meet the needs of different marinating recipes.

[0058] Pipeline 8 is connected to cylinder 31 via one-way valve 33 to ensure that the marinade can only flow from the preparation container to cylinder 31, preventing material backflow from contaminating the preparation container or causing an imbalance in the mixing ratio. The specific process is as follows: when piston 30 moves upward, negative pressure is formed inside cylinder 31, one-way valve 33 opens, and marinade is drawn into cylinder 31 from preparation container; when piston 30 moves downward, one-way valve 33 closes, and marinade is squeezed out from discharge end 10, thus achieving controllable material conveying.

[0059] In this embodiment, the top of the configuration container is provided with a feeding port 34, and a sealing cap 32 is inserted into the feeding port 34. The feeding port 34 at the top of the configuration container is sealed by the sealing cap 32 to prevent external dust and foreign objects from entering and contaminating the marinade, thus ensuring the quality of the marinade.

[0060] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
