By pulling the top cover 5 upwards, the pneumatic rod 7 pushes the top cover 5 upwards, opening the top of the inner shell 3, thus facilitating the storage and retrieval of meat.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A motor reducer 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the tripod 6. A turntable 9 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor reducer 8. A hook 10 is movably mounted on the bottom of the turntable 9, and meat strips are hung on the hook 10. An ultrasonic transducer 11 is embedded in the bottom wall of the inner shell 3. The input end of the ultrasonic transducer 11 is fixedly mounted to the output end of the ultrasonic controller 12, which is fixedly mounted on the bracket 1. The motor reducer 8 can drive the turntable 9 to rotate slowly, thereby rotating the meat strips and increasing the contact between the meat strips and the marinade. The ultrasonic controller 12 drives the ultrasonic transducer 11 to operate. The ultrasonic transducer 11 vibrates at high frequency with the marinade, which allows the marinade to quickly penetrate the meat.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 A water inlet 13 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inner shell 3 for introducing the pickling liquid into the interior of the inner shell 3; a drain valve 14 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner shell 3.

[0028] Working principle: When in use, the top cover 5 can be pushed up and opened by the pneumatic rod 7, then the meat strips can be hung on the hook 10, and then the top cover 5 can be pressed down and closed. The rubber ring 4 ensures a sealed connection between the top cover 5 and the inner shell 3, reducing the infiltration of external gas.

[0029] The turntable 9 is slowly rotated by the motor reducer 8. The turntable 9 rotates slowly and smoothly by the ring guide rail 17, and the rotating meat strips come into contact with the marinade. The ultrasonic transducer 11 is driven by the ultrasonic controller 12 to operate, and the ultrasonic transducer 11 carries the marinade to quickly penetrate the meat strips.

[0030] The marinade at the bottom of the inner shell 3 is extracted by the circulating pump 16 and sprayed onto the meat strips through the annular nozzle 15, ensuring that the marinade is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the meat strips. This application enhances the efficiency of low-salt marinating through physical field, while reducing the use of chemical preservatives and reducing salt and nitrite residues.
