Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of meatball boiling equipment, specifically to an automatic retrieval and transfer structure for meatball boiling equipment. Background Technology
[0002] The automatic retrieval and transfer structure in meatball boiling equipment is designed to address the need for timely retrieval and transfer of meatballs during the boiling process, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality. After retrieval, the meatballs need to be transported to cooling, packaging, or other subsequent processing equipment via an automatic transfer system. The automatic retrieval and transfer structure can replace manual operation, realizing the automatic retrieval and transfer of meatballs and reducing the time and labor costs of manual intervention.
[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN201674972U discloses a fish ball and meat ball production line, which is sequentially equipped with a forming tank, a forming ball conveying device, a cooking tank, a cooked ball conveying device, and a discharge trough. The forming tank is equipped with one or more feeding devices, each with a feeding trough. The bottom of the feeding trough has a feeding bend that communicates with the forming tank. Both the forming tank and the cooking tank are equipped with chain conveyor devices, with scrapers evenly spaced on the chain conveyor devices to turn the fish balls and meat balls. This invention eliminates the need for intensive steaming of fish balls and meat balls in a single pot. Based on the different processing temperature requirements during the forming and cooking processes, it uses a 90℃ forming tank and a 95℃ cooking tank to process the balls, improving the uniformity of the cooking process and extending the shelf life of the balls. Because newly added balls enter the forming tank below the already formed balls through the feeding bend, the problem of deformation due to collision before the balls are formed is reduced. The separate processing in two tanks significantly increases output.
[0004] The aforementioned patent proposes that the fish ball and meat ball production line uses a scraper to transport and retrieve the meat balls as a whole, but it is difficult to grade and screen the cooked meat balls. It is also difficult to accurately intercept the unqualified meat balls that are too small in size during the production process, requiring the addition of a sorting process, which increases the production process and labor costs. Therefore, we propose an automatic retrieval and transfer structure for a meat ball boiling equipment. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, an automatic retrieval and transfer structure for a meatball boiling device is provided. By setting up a grading structure with a first and second retrieval net of different mesh sizes, the device can directly and accurately intercept and grade qualified and unqualified meatballs during the meatball retrieval process, eliminating the need for subsequent manual sorting. This solves the technical problem of the production line's inability to accurately intercept small unqualified meatballs generated during production, which previously required additional sorting processes.
[0006] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic retrieval and transfer structure for a meatball boiling device, including a boiling tank. A water supply pipe and a discharge port are respectively arranged on both sides of the boiling tank.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are:
[0015] 1.

[0024] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an automatic retrieval and transfer structure for a meatball boiling device includes a boiling tank 1. A water supply pipe 11 and a discharge port 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of the boiling tank 1. A first scooping net 2 and a second scooping net 21 are vertically arranged sequentially on the side of the boiling tank 1 closest to the discharge port 12. The mesh size of the first scooping net 2 is larger than that of the second scooping net 21. Both the first scooping net 2 and the second scooping net 21 are equipped with sprocket assemblies 22. A transmission assembly is provided on the boiling tank 1, which is connected to the sprocket assemblies 22 of the first scooping net 2 and the second scooping net 21 to drive them to rotate synchronously. The sprocket assembly 22 includes a chain belt and two sprockets. The chain belt meshes with the two sprockets, and the chain belts of the two sets of sprocket assemblies 22 are fixedly connected to the edges of the first scooping net 2 and the second scooping net 21, respectively. A filter element 23 is provided inside the discharge port 12. A filter element 23 is provided on the boiling tank 1. A cleaning component connected to the transmission assembly, which cooperates with the filter element 23 to clean the filter element 23; the transmission assembly includes two sets of synchronization components 24 and a power component 25; the synchronization component 24 consists of a meshing synchronous belt and two synchronous pulleys, and adjacent synchronous pulleys in the two sets of synchronization components 24 are coaxially and fixedly connected; the output end of the power component 25 is drivenly connected to the synchronous pulley of one set of synchronization components 24, and the two synchronous pulleys of this set of synchronization components 24 are respectively fixedly connected to the sprockets of the sprocket assembly 22 of the first scooping net 2 and the second scooping net 21; a heating device is installed inside the boiling pool 1, and the water supply pipe 11 is used to inject hot water into the boiling pool 1, and the heating device is used to maintain the temperature of the hot water in the boiling pool 1; the power component 25 is a servo motor, which is used to provide power for the operation of the two sets of synchronization components 24 to realize the synchronous linkage of the scooping action and the cleaning action.
[0026] Specifically, the sprocket of the sprocket assembly 22 is rotatably mounted on the boiling pool 1, and the synchronizing wheel of the synchronizing assembly 24 is also rotatably mounted on the boiling pool 1.
[0027] During the meatball boiling process, hot water is injected into the boiling tank 1 through the water supply pipe 11, and the heating device of the boiling tank 1 is activated simultaneously to maintain the boiling temperature of the hot water in the boiling tank 1, ensuring consistent cooking results for the meatballs. The meatballs are then placed into the boiling tank 1 for cooking. The water flow in the boiling tank 1 propels the meatballs towards the discharge port 12, achieving automatic conveying of the meatballs without the need for manual assistance, thus improving the automation level of the cooking process.
[0028] Meatballs are carried by the water flow towards the first scoop net 2 and the second scoop net 21 at the discharge port 12. The first scoop net 2 is used to intercept normal meatballs that meet the size standard, while the second scoop net 21 is used to intercept unqualified meatballs that are too small. This achieves graded interception of meatballs of different sizes, facilitating subsequent sorting and collection. The power unit 25 is activated, and the output end of the power unit 25 drives one set of synchronization components 24 to operate. Since the two synchronization wheels of this set of synchronization components 24 are fixedly connected to the sprockets of the sprocket assembly 22 of the first scoop net 2 and the second scoop net 21 respectively, it drives the sprocket assembly 22 of the first scoop net 2 and the second scoop net 21 to operate, achieving synchronous displacement of the first scoop net 2 and the second scoop net 21, and scooping up and transferring meatballs of different sizes from the discharge port 12.
[0029] By using a single power component 25 to simultaneously drive the first scooping net 2 and the second scooping net 21 to move synchronously, the number of power sources is reduced, the transmission structure is simplified, and the operation and maintenance costs of the equipment are reduced. At the same time, the synchronicity of the actions of the first scooping net 2 and the second scooping net 21 is ensured, and the graded scooping operation is carried out in an orderly manner. In this way, the first scooping net 2 and the second scooping net 21 respectively scoop meatballs of different sizes from the discharge port 12 and complete the transfer.
[0030] See Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the cleaning assembly includes an elliptical plate 26, a connecting plate 27, a support plate 28, a guide cover 29, and a cleaning component 210; the elliptical plate 26 is rotatably mounted on the boiling tank 1, and the elliptical plate 26 is fixedly connected to the synchronous wheel of another set of synchronous components 24; one end of the connecting plate 27 is rotatably connected to the elliptical plate 26; the support plate 28 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting plate 27 away from the elliptical plate 26; the guide cover 29 is fixed inside the discharge port 12, and the support plate 28 and the guide cover 29 are slidably engaged; the cleaning component 210... 10 is fixed to the side of the support plate 28 facing the filter element 23; the cleaning element 210 is pressed and adhered to the surface of the filter element 23, and the cleaning element 210 adopts a flexible scraper or brush structure; the support plate 28 and the guide cover 29 form a sliding guide pair, and the guide cover 29 is used to limit the movement trajectory of the support plate 28, so that the support plate 28 moves back and forth in a straight line; the filter element 23 adopts a stainless steel mesh structure, and the filter element 23 is used to filter the hot water flowing out of the boiling pool 1 and intercept the residue generated during the meatball cooking process.
[0031] Specifically, the rotation axis of the elliptical plate 26 is located on the side of the boiling tank 1 near the discharge port 12.
[0032] A filter element 23 is installed inside the discharge port 12 to filter the hot water flowing out of the boiling tank 1, intercepting the residue generated during the meatball cooking process. This prevents the residue from flowing back into the boiling tank 1 with the hot water, thus preventing contamination of the hot water in the boiling tank 1 due to residue mixing and ensuring the quality of hot water recycling. Another set of synchronization components 24 rotates synchronously with the power component 25 via a fixed connection between adjacent synchronization wheels. When the synchronization wheels of this set of synchronization components 24 rotate, they drive the elliptical plate 26 to rotate. The rotation of the elliptical plate 26 drives one end of the connecting plate 27 to perform a circular motion, while the other end of the connecting plate 27 drives the support plate 28 to slide along the inner side of the guide cover 29. The support plate 28 and the guide cover 29 form a sliding guide pair, limiting the movement trajectory of the support plate 28, preventing it from deviating during movement, ensuring the stability of linear movement, and thus converting the rotational motion of the elliptical plate 26 into the linear reciprocating motion of the support plate 28.
[0033] The elliptical plate 26 rotates continuously, driving the support plate 28 to move in a linear, reciprocating motion along the guide cover 29. The cleaning component 210 on the support plate 28 moves synchronously with the support plate 28, and the surface of the cleaning component 210 and the filter element 23 are always pressed and adhered to each other, so that the cleaning component 210 sweeps back and forth along the surface of the filter element 23, promptly cleaning the meatball residue trapped on the filter element 23, preventing the residue from accumulating and causing the mesh of the filter element 23 to become clogged, ensuring the filtration efficiency of the filter element 23, and ensuring the normal circulation of hot water.
[0034] Working principle: Before the meatballs are boiled, hot water is injected into the boiling tank 1 through the water supply pipe 11 and the heating device is activated to maintain the boiling temperature. After the meatballs are put into the boiling tank 1, the water flow carries the meatballs towards the discharge port 12. The power unit 25 is activated, which drives a set of synchronous components 24 to operate, causing the first scooping net 2 and the second scooping net 21 to move synchronously. By using scooping nets with different mesh sizes, qualified and unqualified meatballs are graded, intercepted, and automatically transferred. At the same time, the two sets of synchronous components 24 work together to activate another set of synchronous components. The 24 rotates synchronously, driving the elliptical plate 26 to rotate. The elliptical plate 26 converts the rotational motion into the linear reciprocating motion of the support plate 28 through the connecting plate 27. The support plate 28 slides along the guide cover 29 and drives the cleaning component 210 to reciprocate and sweep the surface of the filter component 23. The filter component 23 intercepts the residue produced by boiling, and the cleaning component 210 automatically cleans the residue on the surface of the filter component 23 to prevent residue blockage. This achieves the synchronous operation of meatball grading, retrieval, and transfer with automatic residue cleaning. The entire process requires no manual intervention, ensuring continuous production.
