[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a punching device for producing cured meat, which is used to make holes in pork pieces during the cured meat processing so that ropes or hooks can pass through, so as to hang the pork pieces for smoking or air drying.
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The perforating device for producing cured meat includes a base 1, which is used to place pork pieces to be perforated. The base 1 is provided with a mounting frame 11, and the mounting frame 11 is provided with a movable rod 2 that can be raised and lowered, and a return spring 3 that abuts against the movable rod 2. The movable rod 2 is vertically arranged on the mounting frame 11 and is located above the base 1. A perforating needle 21 is provided on the side of the movable rod 2 near the base 1. The return spring 3 abuts against the movable rod 2 and drives the movable rod 2 to move away from the base 1. The mounting frame 11 is also provided with a rotatable pressure rod 4. The pressure rod 4 has a protrusion 41, and the protrusion 41 abuts against the end of the movable rod 2 away from the base 1. When the pressure rod 4 rotates, the protrusion 41 pushes the movable rod 2 to move closer to the base 1. At this time, the perforating needle 21 descends with the movement of the movable rod 2 and pierces the pork piece placed on the base 1, thus making a hole in the pork piece.
[0022] Specifically, the operating steps of the perforation device for cured meat production provided in this embodiment are as follows: Place the pork block to be perforated on the base 1 and position it below the movable rod 2. After the pork block is placed, rotate the pressure rod 4 to push the movable rod 2 downwards. During the downward movement of the movable rod 2, the perforating needle 21 pierces the pork block and makes a hole. During the movement of the movable rod 2, the return spring 3 is further compressed. After the hole is made, release the pressure rod 4. At this time, the return spring 3 returns to its original length and drives the movable rod 2 upwards through the elastic force provided by the return spring 3. During the upward movement of the movable rod 2, the perforating needle 21 exits the pork block. After the movable rod 2 returns to its original position, the pork block can be removed from the base 1. Then, place other pork blocks to be perforated on the base 1 and repeat the above steps for continuous operation. The perforation device for cured meat production provided in this embodiment can make holes in pork blocks by rotating the pressure rod 4, saving manpower and improving perforation efficiency. It is also simple to operate and avoids workers' hands being pricked during the perforation process.
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a placement groove 12, which is located below the movable rod 2 and has a toothed portion 13 inside. The placement groove 12 is used to accommodate the pork piece to be drilled, and the toothed portion 13 inside the placement groove 12 increases the friction between the pork piece and the base 1, preventing the pork piece from sliding on the base 1 during the drilling process and affecting the drilling needle 21 from passing through the pork piece.
[0024] In detail, the placement groove 12 is provided with a support platform 14, and the support platform 14 is provided with a clearance hole 15, which is aligned with the punching needle 21. The support platform 14 is used to support part of the pork piece so that the part of the pork piece located directly below the punching needle 21 remains flat, and after the punching needle 21 passes through the pork piece, its tip extends into the clearance hole 15 to avoid the punching needle 21 colliding with the base 1 and causing damage to the punching needle 21.
[0025] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting frame 11 is provided with a mounting groove 16 and a guide hole communicating with the mounting groove 16. The axial direction of the guide hole is consistent with the vertical direction, and the movable rod 2 cooperates with the guide hole. The return spring 3 is housed in the mounting groove 16. The guide hole provided on the mounting frame 11 is used for mounting the movable rod 2 and restricting the movement direction of the movable rod 2 to prevent the movable rod 2 from deviating from the preset direction when moving. The return spring 3 is provided in the mounting groove 16 to ensure the overall structural stability of the punching device for cured meat production.
[0026] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 11 is provided with a detachable cover plate 17, which, together with the mounting frame 11, forms the mounting groove 16 and the guide hole. By installing the cover plate 17 on the mounting frame 11 to form the mounting groove 16 and the guide hole that accommodate the movable rod 2 and the return spring 3, the movable rod 2 and the return spring 3 can be mounted on the mounting frame 11, and then the cover plate 17 can be installed to keep the movable rod 2 and the return spring 3 on the mounting frame 11, which facilitates the assembly of the punching device for cured meat production.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 2The movable rod 2 includes a head 22. One end of the head 22 passes through the guide hole and abuts against the protrusion 41, while the other end extends into the mounting groove 16. The diameter of the end of the head 22 located in the mounting groove 16 is larger than the diameter of the guide hole and abuts against the return spring 3. The head 22 of the movable rod 2 abuts against the protrusion 41 to ensure reliable cooperation between the movable rod 2 and the pressure rod 4. When the movable rod 2 is in a free state, the head 22 abuts against the top surface of the mounting groove 16 under the elastic force provided by the return spring 3, thereby maintaining a certain distance between the puncture needle and the base 1 so that the pork piece can be placed between the movable rod 2 and the base 1.
[0028] Specifically, the movable rod 2 further includes a rod portion 23 threadedly connected to the head 22. The diameter of the rod portion 23 is the same as the diameter of the guide hole, and the punching needle 21 is located at the end of the rod portion 23 away from the head 22. The rod portion 23 is used to connect the punching needle 21, and when the movable rod 2 moves, the rod portion 23 slides within the guide hole to prevent the movable rod 2 from deviating from the preset direction, ensuring that the punching needle 21 pierces the pork piece vertically, facilitating the subsequent threading of a rope or hook through the hole in the pork piece.
[0029] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 3 The mounting frame 11 is provided with a connecting pin 18, and one end of the pressure rod 4 is provided with a connecting hole that mates with the connecting pin 18. The pressure rod 4 is installed on the mounting frame 11 through the connection hole and the connecting pin 18, ensuring the structural stability and reliability of the punching device for cured meat production, and allowing the pressure rod 4 to rotate smoothly relative to the mounting frame 11.
[0030] In detail, the pressure rod 4 is also provided with a handle 42, which is located at the end of the pressure rod 4 away from the connecting pin 18. The handle 42 at the end of the pressure rod 4 is used to control the rotation of the pressure rod 4. The worker can easily rotate the pressure rod 4 and lower the movable rod 2 by holding the handle 42 and pressing down, thereby driving the punching needle 21 to pierce the pork piece. After piercing, releasing the handle 42 will allow the movable rod 2 and the pressure rod 4 to automatically return to their original positions under the action of the return spring 3, which facilitates the operation of the punching device for cured meat production.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
