Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of eel sauce addition technology, and in particular to a sauce addition machine for eel packaging. Background Technology
[0002] After grilling the eel, it needs to be submerged in sauce before packaging. This will help improve the flavor of the eel. However, if the soy sauce level is lower than the eel's feeding surface during the submersion process, the eel will not be able to get the soy sauce.
[0003] Eel soy sauce is usually stored in jars. Because soy sauce is quite viscous, it is prone to clumping when exposed to air for a long time. Therefore, only an appropriate amount of soy sauce is needed in the immersion tank to ensure that the eel is submerged. However, the amount of soy sauce consumed during processing is large, and traditional soy sauce immersion devices cannot replenish the soy sauce in time, thus affecting the coating of the eel with soy sauce.

The lifting mechanism is located on one side of the immersion tank and is driven to the lower part of the weighing scale. The tilting mechanism is located on the upper part of the weighing scale. The weighing scale is electrically connected to the alarm, and the level gauge is electrically connected to the tilting mechanism.
[0010] Furthermore, the tilting mechanism includes a mounting frame, a clamping assembly, a baffle, a bracket, a rotation drive, and a rotating shaft. The lower part of the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the upper part of the weighing scale. The middle part of the bracket is rotatably connected to the upper part of the mounting frame via the rotating shaft. The rotation drive is drivenly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In actual production and use, when it is necessary to coat eels with sauce, the roasted eels can be conveyed to the immersion tank through a conveying mechanism. Then, the eels are immersed in soy sauce in the immersion tank and coated with sauce. The sauce is then output through the conveying mechanism. When the soy sauce in the immersion tank is lower than the level gauge, the pouring mechanism replenishes the soy sauce in the tank until the replenishment level is higher than the level gauge. To ensure timely replenishment of sauce, an initial weight is recorded on the weighing scale when the tank is placed on the pouring mechanism. As the pouring mechanism pours the soy sauce from the tank into the immersion tank, the soy sauce in the tank continuously decreases. When the weight on the weighing scale approaches the weight of the tank, an alarm sounds, reminding the operator to replace the empty tank in time. This allows for timely replenishment of sauce in the immersion tank, ensuring that the eels are fully coated when passing through. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a sauce-adding machine for eel packaging, comprising an immersion tank 3, a conveying mechanism 5, and a sauce-adding mechanism 1. An immersion trough 2 is provided in the middle of the immersion tank 3. The conveying mechanism 5 passes through the interior of the immersion trough 2 and is connected to the immersion tank 3. The sauce-adding mechanism 1 is provided on one side of the immersion tank 3.
[0024] The sauce-adding mechanism 1 includes a level gauge 101, a tilting mechanism, a weighing scale 106, a lifting mechanism, and an alarm 110. The level gauge 101 is installed in the immersion tank 2 and is located above the conveying mechanism 5. The lifting mechanism is located on one side of the immersion tank 3 and is driven to the lower part of the weighing scale 106. The tilting mechanism is installed on the upper part of the weighing scale 106. The weighing scale 106 is electrically connected to the alarm 110, and the level gauge 101 is electrically connected to the tilting mechanism.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In actual production and use, when it is necessary to coat eels with sauce, the roasted eels can be conveyed to the immersion tank 2 through the conveying mechanism 5. Then, the soy sauce in the immersion tank 2 will coat the eels with sauce, and then be output through the conveying mechanism 5. When the soy sauce in the immersion tank 2 is lower than the level gauge 101, the pouring mechanism will add soy sauce from the can 6 into the immersion tank 3 until the replenishment level is higher than the level gauge 101. In order to replenish the sauce in a timely manner, when the can 6 is placed on the pouring mechanism, the weighing scale 106 will record an initial weight. As the pouring mechanism pours the soy sauce from the can 6 into the immersion tank 2, the soy sauce in the can 6 will decrease continuously. When the weighing scale 106 is close to the weight of the can 6, the alarm 110 will sound an alarm to remind the operator to replace the empty can 6 in time.
[0026] Furthermore, the tilting mechanism includes a mounting frame 111, a clamping assembly, a baffle 104, a bracket 105, a rotation drive 112, and a rotating shaft. The lower part of the mounting frame 111 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the weighing scale 106. The middle part of the bracket 105 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the mounting frame 111 via the rotating shaft. The rotation drive 112 is drivenly connected to the rotating shaft. The clamping assembly is provided on the upper part of the bracket 105. The baffle 104 is fixedly connected to one end of the bracket 105 near the immersion tank 3.
[0027] As described above, when it is necessary to add the soy sauce stored in the jar 6 into the immersion tank 2, the jar 6 can be placed on the bracket 105 and pushed into the clamping assembly. Then, the clamping assembly is operated to clamp and fix the jar 6. Then, the lifting mechanism is operated to raise the jar 6 to a suitable height. When the soy sauce level in the immersion tank 2 is lower than the level gauge 101, the level gauge 101 senses it and then the rotation drive 112 is operated. The rotation drive 112 drives the bracket 105 to rotate through the rotating shaft, so that the soy sauce in the jar 6 is poured into the immersion tank 2. When the soy sauce is above the level gauge 101, the bracket 105 drives the jar 6 to reset and stop pouring. During pouring, the baffle 104 blocks the jar 6 and provides a supporting force to the jar 6, so that the jar 6 can be poured more easily.
[0028] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a first linear drive, a slide rail 113, a slider 102, and a clamping plate 103. A slide rail 113 is provided on both sides of the bracket 105. A slider 102 is slidably connected to a slide rail 113. The upper part of the slider 102 is connected to the clamping plate 103. The first linear drive is linearly driven connected to the lower part of the slider 102.
[0029] As can be seen from the above description, when it is necessary to clamp the can 6, the can 6 can be placed between the clamping plate 103 and the two slide rails 113, and then the first linear drive member is operated, so that the first linear drive member drives the clamping plate 103 to move towards the can 6 through the slider 102, so that the can 6 is fixed with the cooperation of the clamping plate 103 and the bracket 105, which facilitates subsequent pouring.
[0030] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a base 107, a second linear drive 109, and a slide bar 108. The base 107 is disposed on one side of the immersion pool 3. The lower part of the weighing scale 106 is slidably connected to the base 107 through several slide bars 108. The second linear drive 109 is connected to the base 107 and is linearly driven connected to the lower part of the weighing scale 106.
[0031] As can be seen from the above description, when it is necessary to adjust the tilting height of the can 6, the second linear drive 109 can be operated, so that the second linear drive 109 drives the tilting mechanism to move through the weighing scale 106, so that the can 6 on the tilting mechanism can be moved to a suitable height for tilting.
[0032] Furthermore, it also includes a pressure roller 4, which is rotatably connected inside the immersion tank 2, and a gap is provided between the pressure roller 4 and the conveying mechanism 5.
[0033] As can be seen from the above description, the conveying mechanism 5 is conducive to conveying the eels into the immersion tank 2, and the pressure roller 4 makes the passing eels better pressed into the soy sauce for immersion.
[0034] Furthermore, it also includes a PLC controller 7, which is electrically connected to the conveying mechanism 5 and the sauce-adding mechanism 1 respectively.
[0035] As can be seen from the above description, it is beneficial to adjust the parameters of the sauce-adding machine for eel packaging through the PLC controller 7, and to make it more convenient for operators to operate the sauce-adding machine for eel packaging.
