Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing technology, specifically relating to a food processing vacuum tumbler. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum tumblers are the main processing equipment used by food manufacturers to produce meat products and low-temperature ham. Because meat expands under vacuum, vacuum tumblers can create a vacuum environment to tumble, press, and marinate tenderized raw meat, and mix it evenly with auxiliary materials and additives. This increases the adhesion between meat pieces, can also color the meat, improve the tenderness and water retention of the meat, and improve the quality of the meat.

[0003] A patent website discloses a vacuum tumbler for food processing (publication number CN221307034U). This prior art uses a feeding frame to uniformly add materials into the tumbler. During the addition process, the added materials are dispersed by a mixing and dispersing mechanism, and then evenly mixed into the inside of the tumbler. The materials are then tumbled again by the components inside the tumbler, which can fully ensure the uniformity of the material mixture and is easy to operate.

[0004] However, there are still some shortcomings in the aforementioned patents and existing tumbling machines on the market: the existing technology requires vacuuming the inside of the tumbling drum during tumbling, and its internal volume is generally large in order to tumble more material. Therefore, when tumbling less material, it is also necessary to vacuum the inside of a large tumbling drum, which is time-consuming and increases resource consumption. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a food processing vacuum tumbling machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a food processing vacuum tumbler that can solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The specific technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A food processing vacuum tumbling machine includes a base plate, a set of mounting brackets symmetrically mounted on the upper side of the base plate, and a tumbling mechanism.

A baffle is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the outer ring. An electric cylinder with a telescopic arm end extending into the tank and rotatably connected to the baffle is mounted at the center of one end of the tank.

[0008] An installation plate is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the tank, and an installation ring aligned with the installation plate is rotatably mounted on the other inner wall of the tank. Multiple evenly distributed tumbling bars are arranged between the two and slide through the baffle. The two ends of the tumbling bars are rotatably connected to the installation ring and the installation plate, respectively.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a drive motor with a drive end extending into the tank and connected to the mounting plate is installed at the other end of the tank, and a tank door is provided at the other end of the tank below the drive motor.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a hydraulic rod is provided between the bottom plate and the tank body, the upper end of the hydraulic rod is hinged to the tank body, and the lower end is hinged to the bottom plate.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: an upward-facing inlet is provided on the side of the tank near the drive motor, a housing is installed at the inlet port, and a top cover is provided at the upper port of the housing.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: a mounting base is installed on the inner wall of the outer shell, two shafts are rotatably mounted on the lower side of the mounting base, and a set of circumferentially evenly distributed disintegrating plates are installed on the side of the shafts.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: a motor is mounted on the side of the housing on one side of the mounting base; a crossbar with one end connected to the drive end of the motor is rotatably mounted inside the cavity of the mounting base; the upper end of the shaft extends into the cavity of the mounting base and is equipped with a bevel tooth; and a bevel tooth two meshing with each bevel tooth is mounted on one side of each bevel tooth one on the side of the crossbar.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: a U-shaped frame is installed on the rear side of the housing, a bidirectional screw is rotatably installed between the inner sides of the U-shaped frame, a sealed motor with its drive end connected to one end of the bidirectional screw is installed on the side of the U-shaped frame, and each thread of the bidirectional screw is provided with a threaded seat that is slidably connected to the inner side of the U-shaped frame.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: two sealing plates with edges extending to the outside of the housing are symmetrically installed inside the housing below the shaft, and an L-shaped bracket is installed on the lower side of the sealing plate and the lower side of the threaded seat on the same side.

[0016] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This utility model relates to a food processing vacuum tumbler, in which the tumbling mechanism can move the baffle through the extension and retraction of the electric cylinder, thereby adjusting the actual tumbling space.

[0024] To make the purpose and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific implementations of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a food processing vacuum tumbling machine includes a base plate 1, a set of mounting brackets 2 symmetrically mounted on the upper side of the base plate 1, and a tumbling mechanism 3. The tumbling mechanism 3 includes a tank 301 rotatably mounted between the two mounting brackets 2. An outer ring 302 adapted to the tank 301 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the tank 301. A baffle 303 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the outer ring 302. An electric cylinder 304 with a telescopic arm end extending into the tank 301 and rotatably connected to the baffle 303 is installed at the center of one end of the tank 301. An mounting plate 306 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the tank 301. At the same time, the operator can observe the volume of the internal material through the side window of the tank 301. By controlling the extension of the electric cylinder 304, the operator can move the baffle 303 and the outer ring 302, adjust the distance between the mounting plate 306 and the baffle 303, and reduce the vacuum space while ensuring that the material can be tumbled normally.

[0026] like Figure 2As shown, a mounting ring 305 aligned with a mounting plate 306 is rotatably mounted on the other inner wall of the tank 301. Multiple evenly distributed tumbling rods 307 are arranged between the two and slide through the baffle 303. The two ends of the tumbling rods 307 are rotatably connected to the mounting ring 305 and the mounting plate 306, respectively. A drive motor 308 with its drive end extending into the tank 301 and connected to the mounting plate 306 is installed at the other end of the tank 301. A tank door 309 is provided below the drive motor 308 at the other end of the tank 301. The drive motor 308 drives the mounting plate 306 to rotate. The rotating mounting plate 306 drives all the tumbling rods 307 to rotate and tumble the food. The tumbled food is discharged from 309.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, a vacuum generator with its working end connected to the tank 301 is installed on the side of the base plate 1 near the drive motor 308. The running vacuum generator evacuates the area between the mounting plate 306 and the baffle 303 inside the tank 301.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a hydraulic rod 4 is provided between the bottom plate 1 and the tank 301. The upper end of the hydraulic rod 4 is hinged to the tank 301, and the lower end is hinged to the bottom plate 1. The hydraulic rod 4 continuously extends and retracts, causing the tank 301 to deflect around the connection point with the mounting frame 2, thus stabilizing the tank 301.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an upward-facing inlet 310 is provided on the side of the tank 301 near the drive motor 308. A housing 5 is installed at the inlet 310. A top cover 13 is placed on the upper end of the housing 5. A mounting base 6 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 5. Two shafts 7 are rotatably mounted on the lower side of the mounting base 6. A set of circumferentially evenly distributed dispersing blades 8 are mounted on the side of the shafts 7. A motor 9 is mounted on the side of the housing 5 on one side of the mounting base 6. A crossbar connected at one end to the drive end of the motor 9 is rotatably mounted inside the cavity of the mounting base 6. 10. The upper end of the shaft 7 extends into the cavity of the mounting base 6 and is equipped with a bevel tooth 11. On the side of the crossbar 10, a bevel tooth 12 that meshes with each bevel tooth 11 is installed. After removing the top cover 13, the motor 9 drives the crossbar 10 to rotate. The bevel teeth 11 and 12 drive the two shafts 7 to rotate, and the food material is put into the upper port of the outer shell 5. The rotating shaft 7 drives the dispersing plate 8 to rotate, which disperses the food material passing through the outer shell 5, so that it enters the tank 301 evenly.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a U-shaped frame 15 is installed on the rear side of the housing 5. A bidirectional screw 16 is rotatably installed between the inner sides of the U-shaped frame 15. A sealing motor 17 with its drive end connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 16 is installed on the side of the U-shaped frame 15. Each thread of the bidirectional screw 16 is provided with a threaded seat 18 that is slidably connected to the inner side of the U-shaped frame 15. Two sealing plates 14 with edges extending to the outside of the housing 5 are symmetrically installed below the shaft 7 inside the housing 5. An L-shaped bracket 19 is installed on the lower side of the sealing plate 14 and the lower side of the threaded seat 18 on the same side. When the sealing motor 17 runs, it drives the bidirectional screw 16 to rotate, causing the two threaded seats 18 to move closer to each other, which in turn causes the two sealing plates 14 to move closer to each other and seal the lower port of the housing 5.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] Remove the top cover 13. The motor 9 drives the crossbar 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the two shafts 7 to rotate through the first bevel gear 11 and the second bevel gear 12. Food materials are then fed into the upper port of the outer shell 5. The rotating shafts 7 drive the dispersing plate 8 to rotate, which disperses the food materials passing through the outer shell 5, allowing them to enter the tank 301 evenly. After the food materials have been fed in, the top cover 13 is closed. At the same time, the sealing motor 17 drives the bidirectional screw 16 to rotate, causing the two threaded seats 18 to move closer to each other, which in turn causes the two sealing plates 14 to move closer to each other, sealing the lower port of the outer shell 5.

[0033] Meanwhile, staff observe the volume of the internal material through the side window of the tank 301. By controlling the extension of the electric cylinder 304, the baffle 303 and outer ring 302 are moved, adjusting the distance between the mounting plate 306 and the baffle 303. While ensuring the material can be tumbled normally, the space is reduced to decrease the vacuum space. The vacuum generator then evacuates the area between the mounting plate 306 and the baffle 303 inside the tank 301. The drive motor 308 drives the mounting plate 306 to rotate. The rotating mounting plate 306 drives all the tumbling rods 307 to rotate and tumble the food. At the same time, the hydraulic rod 4 continuously extends and retracts, causing the tank 301 to deflect around the connection with the mounting frame 2, stabilizing the tank 301 and enhancing the tumbling effect. After completion, the vacuum is released by the vacuum generator, and then the tank door 309 is opened. The hydraulic rod 4 continues to shorten, causing the tank door 309 to tilt downwards, allowing the food material inside the tank 301 to be discharged.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the art.
