Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meat processing technology, and in particular to a meat processing tumbling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Simply relying on soaking or standing, the marinade (brine, seasonings, phosphates, colorants, etc.) cannot quickly, evenly, and deeply penetrate into the interior of large pieces of meat. Meat tumbling processing uses physical force to quietly transform meat into juicy, tender, and flavorful products. This gentle mechanical energy is mainly applied in the core process of producing ham, bacon, turkey breast, and many reconstituted meat products.
[0003] In related technologies, marinade is typically absorbed into the meat by the collision, friction, compression, and slamming of meat pieces inside a tumbling drum. However, the internal structure of a tumbling drum is simple, resulting in low friction between the meat pieces and the drum wall. The meat pieces easily slide along with the drum, and the two cannot generate a large force, thus affecting the processing effect of the meat pieces. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned technologies.
[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a meat processing tumbling machine that can lift meat pieces to a high position inside the cylinder and cause them to collide with the first guide plate, thereby obtaining a greater force and ensuring the processing effect of the meat pieces.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model provides a meat processing tumbling machine, comprising: a base frame, a rotating drum, and a rotary drive mechanism, wherein the base frame is arranged vertically relative to the ground; the rotating drum is located above the base frame, and a discharge component is provided at the end of the rotating drum; a plurality of first guide plates are equidistantly arranged on the inner wall of the rotating drum, and the first guide plates are inclined to one side; the rotary drive mechanism includes a drive device and two auxiliary components, wherein the drive device and the two auxiliary components are respectively disposed between the base frame and the rotating drum; and a feeding component is provided on the outer wall of the rotating drum.
[0007] In addition, the meat processing tumbling machine proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:
[0008] Specifically, the height of the end of the first guide plate near the discharge component is lower than the height of its other end.
[0009] Specifically, the discharge component includes a hollow cone and two second guide plates, wherein the hollow cone is connected to the rotating drum; the two second guide plates are inclined and staggered inside the hollow cone.
[0010] Specifically, the auxiliary component includes two supports, two rollers, and a guide rail. The two supports are symmetrically arranged on the base frame, and the two rollers are rotatably connected to the supports. The guide rail is arranged on the outer wall of the rotating drum, and the two rollers are tactilely connected to the guide rail.
[0011] Specifically, the feeding component includes a sealing door and a latch, wherein the sealing door is pivotally connected to the outer wall of the rotating drum, and the latch is installed between the sealing door and the rotating drum.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The meat processing tumbling machine of the present invention utilizes a first guide plate arranged on one side to lift the meat block to a high position inside the cylinder, increasing the potential energy of the meat block. Under the action of gravity, the meat block collides with the first guide plate, thereby obtaining a greater force to ensure the processing effect of the meat block.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0021] The meat processing tumbler of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the meat processing tumbler of this utility model embodiment may include: a base frame 1, a rotating drum 2, and a rotation drive mechanism 3, wherein,
[0023] The base frame 1 is arranged vertically relative to the ground.
[0024] The rotating drum 2 is located above the base frame 1. The end of the rotating drum 2 is provided with a discharge component 21. Multiple first guide plates 22 are equidistantly arranged on the inner wall of the rotating drum 2. The first guide plates 22 are arranged inclined to one side.
[0025] The rotary drive mechanism 3 includes a drive unit 31 and two auxiliary components 32.
[0026] The drive unit 31 and two auxiliary components 32 are respectively located between the base frame 1 and the rotating drum 2.
[0027] In the above embodiments, the drive device 31 may include a drive motor toothed sprocket transmission component. Its specific connection structure and working principle have been disclosed in the prior art, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0028] The outer wall of the rotating drum 2 is equipped with a feeding component 4.
[0029] It should be noted that the base frame 1 described in this example is equipped with a controller (not shown in the figure). The controller can communicate with an external host computer via wired or wireless means to receive instructions sent by the host computer and control the operation of connected equipment (e.g., rotary drive mechanism 3) according to the instructions. The controller may include a control panel, which is equipped with a display screen and function buttons, so that relevant personnel can conveniently view the data of the meat processing tumbler operation through the display screen and conveniently adjust and modify the data by inputting the buttons.
[0030] In addition, the feeding component 4 described in this embodiment can be located below the discharge section of other external meat processing devices (e.g., cutting), and a quantitative supply of meat and marinade can be achieved by opening the feeding component 4.
[0031] Specifically, a fixed amount of meat chunks and marinade are sequentially injected into the interior of the rotating drum 2 through the feeding component 4. The controller sends an operating signal to the rotary drive mechanism 3, which drives the rotating drum 2 to rotate counterclockwise at a uniform speed. As the first guide plate 22 is tilted to one side, the meat chunks move with the first guide plate 22, increasing the potential energy of the meat chunks. When the gravitational potential energy of the meat chunks is greater than the frictional force between the meat chunks and the first guide plate 22, the meat chunks slide off the first guide plate 22. The meat chunks interact with the first guide plate 22 below them, thereby obtaining a larger force to ensure the processing effect of the meat chunks. The rotating drum 2 continues to rotate, and the meat chunks continue to be lifted, thus better blending with the marinade.
[0032] After the rotating drum 2 has been running for a preset time, the rotary drive mechanism 3 can drive the rotating drum 2 to rotate in the opposite direction. The meat pieces are discharged through the discharge component 21 into the interior of the external collection device, which facilitates further processing of the meat pieces.
[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the height of the end of the first guide plate 22 near the discharge component 21 is lower than the height of its other end.
[0034] It is understandable that the height of the end of the first guide plate 22 near the discharge component 21 is lower than the height of the other end. During the counterclockwise rotation of the drum 2, the meat pieces gather towards the bottom of the drum 2, which can achieve a better squeezing and friction effect. Moreover, the meat pieces that do not move with the first guide plate 22 roll at the bottom of the drum 2, which can still achieve a good physical effect.
[0035] When discharging materials, please refer to Figure 3 When the rotating drum 2 rotates clockwise, the meat pieces inside the rotating drum 2 can move from the high end to the low end of the first guide plate 22, thus facilitating the movement of the meat pieces to the discharge part 21.
[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the discharge component 21 includes a hollow cone 211 and two second guide plates 212.
[0037] The hollow cone 211 is connected to the rotating drum 2, and two second guide plates 212 are inclined and staggered inside the hollow cone 211.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 The structure of the discharge component 21 is based on the structure of the discharge port of the concrete mixer in the prior art. It can prevent the material in the rotating drum 2 from overflowing during the tumbling and kneading of meat pieces, and can ensure that the material in the rotating drum 2 is discharged smoothly during the discharge process.
[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the auxiliary component 32 includes two brackets 321, two rollers 322 and a guide rail 323.
[0040] Two supports 321 are symmetrically arranged on the base frame 1, two rollers 322 are rotatably connected to the supports 321, and guide rails 323 are arranged on the outer wall of the rotating drum 2, with the two rollers 322 and guide rails 323 being rotatably connected.
[0041] It is understandable that during the process of the drive device 31 driving the rotating drum 2 to rotate, the rotating drum 2 causes relative rolling between the guide rail 323 and the roller 322 to ensure the stability of the rotating drum 2 during rotation.
[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the feeding component 4 includes a sealing door 41 and a latch 42.
[0043] The sealing door 41 is pivotally connected to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 2, and the latch 42 is installed between the sealing door 41 and the rotating cylinder 2.
[0044] Understandably, the sealing door 41 and the latch 42 facilitate the injection of meat chunks and marinade into the interior of the rotating drum 2.
[0045] In summary, the meat processing tumbling machine of this utility model utilizes a first guide plate arranged at an incline to one side, which can lift the meat pieces to a high position inside the cylinder, increasing the potential energy of the meat pieces. Under the action of gravity, the meat pieces collide with the first guide plate, thereby obtaining a greater force to ensure the processing effect of the meat pieces.
