Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable pickling technology, specifically a vegetable pickling salting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetable pickling refers to a method of preserving vegetables by using high-concentration salt solutions and lactic acid bacteria fermentation, thereby enhancing the flavor of the vegetables and giving them a fresh taste. Salting is an important step in the processing of vegetables.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, manual salting is inefficient. Some improved existing technologies use salting machines for mechanical salting, but these are not perfect and the salt cannot be evenly distributed, which will affect the uniform seasoning and taste of the prepared dishes. Secondly, some equipment has an adjustable salting range, which can easily lead to salt waste or local overload. In addition, salt particles are prone to clumping and clogging in the storage hopper, requiring manual intervention to prevent blockage. Therefore, a vegetable pickling salting machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown in this embodiment, a vegetable pickling salting machine is used to sprinkle salt onto a pickling container 1 containing vegetables, such as radishes, garlic, or green beans. It should be noted that the pickling container 1 is preferably wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and its top opening is open. The vegetable pickling salting machine includes a base 2, which provides a support point for the pickling container 1, allowing the pickling container 1 to be placed on the base 2, for example, in the form of a plate. The vegetable pickling salting machine also includes a salting mechanism 3, which is set above the base 2 and the pickling container 1 by a support member 4, and is used to sprinkle salt onto the pickling container 1 relatively evenly to ensure the relative uniformity of salting.

[0028] Further explanation: The salting mechanism 3 includes a conical hopper 31 for storing salt used in pickling. A drive ring 32 is coaxially and rotatably mounted on the hopper 31. Two opposing extension strips are fixed to the outside of the drive ring 32. A U-shaped discharge trough 33 is rotatably mounted between the two extension strips via a pivot. This U-shaped discharge trough 33 is inclined below the hopper 31. An extension frame 34 is fixed between the outside of the two sets of extension strips. The extension frame 34 and the U-shaped discharge trough... An electric push rod 35, such as the LA36 model of the brand LINAK, is hinged between 33 and can stop at any position within its stroke. The potentiometer feedback mechanism of this electric push rod 35 allows it to stop at any position within its stroke. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated on here. With this design, when the electric push rod 35 extends or retracts, it can change the angle of the U-shaped discharge chute 33 to control its discharge position. Furthermore, a drive component 36 is provided on the cone hopper 31 to drive the transmission ring 32 to rotate in a circular motion.

[0029] It should be noted that an annular groove 37 is provided on the cone hopper 31, and the bottom of the transmission ring 32 is located in this annular groove 37, thereby restricting the radial movement of the transmission ring 32. A limiting member 38 is fixed next to the annular groove 37. The limiting member 38 includes a cylinder fixed to the top of the cone hopper 31, and a limiting plate is fixed to the top of the cylinder. The limiting plate is located on the transmission ring 32, thereby restricting the axial runout of the transmission ring 32. Furthermore, a number of meshing teeth arranged in a circumferential array are fixed on the inner side of the transmission ring 32, and the meshing teeth are located on the outer side of the annular groove 37.

[0030] It should also be noted that the cone hopper 31 includes a cone body and a cover. The cover is fixed to the top of the cone body by bolts, thus restricting the cover to the top of the cone body. The bolts are not visible. A discharge pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cone hopper 31, and a solenoid valve is installed on the outside of the discharge pipe to control whether salt can be discharged. It should be noted that before sprinkling salt, the pickling container 1 and the discharge pipe should preferably be set coaxially relative to each other. The operator can position the container by setting a scale on the base 2 that matches the outer edge of the bottom of the pickling container 1. In addition, a feed port is provided on the cover, which is the replenishment point for the salt used in pickling.

[0031] The drive component 36 is described as follows: the drive component 36 includes a U-shaped frame 361 fixed to the top of the cone bucket 31, a motor 362 fixed to the U-shaped frame 361 by bolts, a drive column 363 assembled at the output end of the motor 362, a small gear 364 fixed to the outside of the drive column 363, and a large gear 366 rotatably connected to the top of the cone bucket 31 through a fixed shaft 365. The large gear 366 meshes with the transmission ring 32 through meshing teeth.

[0032] In addition, a crossbeam 367 is fixed to the outside of the U-shaped frame 361. When there is no need to adjust the height of the salt-sprinkling mechanism 3 as a whole, the crossbeam 367 is directly fixed to the top of the support member 4. However, it is understood that in one embodiment, the support member 4 is, for example, a screw and nut lifting structure, which is not shown in this embodiment. The crossbeam 367 is fixed to the lifting end of the screw and nut lifting structure by bolts. In this way, it can provide support for pickling containers 1 of different heights.

[0033] When the drive component 36 is working, the motor 362 starts and drives the drive column 363 to rotate. Through the transmission of the small gear 364 and the large gear 366, the transmission ring 32 can drive the U-shaped unloading chute 33 to rotate in a circle, changing the position of salt spreading, thus ensuring the relative uniformity of salt spreading.

[0034] Considering that the salt in the cone hopper 31 may sometimes become clogged, in a preferred embodiment, the cover of the cone hopper 31 is provided with a central hole, the bottom end of the drive column 363 passes through the central hole and is located inside the cone of the cone hopper 31, and a plurality of stirring blades 39 are fixed on the outside of the drive column 363, so that the stirring blades 39 can stir the salt in the cone hopper 31 and avoid clogging.

[0035] The usage method is as follows:

[0036] Place the container: Place the pickling container 1, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, containing vegetables, on the base 2. Adjust the position using the scale on the base 2 to ensure that the center of the container is coaxially aligned with the discharge pipe of the cone 31.

[0037] Adding salt: Salt for pickling is injected into the cone 31 through the feed port on the cone 31 cover. Salt can be added manually or mechanically.

[0038] Start salting: Open the solenoid valve to control the salt particles to fall from the discharge pipe, start the motor 362 to drive the U-shaped discharge chute 33 to rotate and adjust the tilt angle, and adjust the tilt angle of the U-shaped discharge chute 33 through the electric push rod 35 to control the salting radius;

[0039] Anti-clogging treatment: Motor 362 synchronously drives the stirring plate 39 to rotate, preventing salt particles from clogging the cone hopper 31;

[0040] Complete the operation: After salting, turn off motor 362 and solenoid valve, and remove pickling container 1.

[0041] The working principle is as follows:

[0042] Rotary salt spreading: Motor 362 starts, driving small gear 364 to drive large gear 366. Then, large gear 366 drives transmission ring 32 and U-shaped unloading chute 33 to revolve around the axis of cone bucket 31, achieving 360° uniform spreading;

[0043] Salt spreading range adjustment: The electric push rod 35 extends and retracts to push the U-shaped unloading chute 33 around the rotating shaft to change the tilt angle, so as to control the salt spreading distance (near / far);

[0044] Anti-clogging design: The drive column 363 at the output end of the motor 362 extends into the cone hopper 31, which will drive the stirring plate 39 to rotate, thereby breaking up the salt particles as much as possible to avoid clumping and clogging.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
