Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a soaking device for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, particularly in the production of braised and marinated products, pickled vegetables, bean products, and food pretreatment, soaking is a fundamental and crucial process. Soaking allows ingredients to achieve various purposes, including cleaning, seasoning, softening, desalting, removing astringency, and retaining moisture. The results directly affect the final product's taste, flavor, safety, and yield. Currently, large-scale production primarily relies on large soaking tanks, fixed troughs, or static containers to complete this process, with manual handling and static soaking being the main methods of operation.

[0003] Cleaning the equipment is difficult, posing hygiene risks. The fixedly installed soaking tanks and their internal supports and partitions are often difficult to completely disassemble. Food residue, juices, and sediment easily remain in hard-to-reach areas such as tank corners, welds, and support gaps. If these residues are not thoroughly removed, they become breeding grounds for bacteria, severely contaminating subsequent batches of food. This not only affects the consistency of soaking results but also poses food safety risks. The manual operation is physically demanding and poses safety hazards. Loading, unloading, and collecting food after soaking are entirely manual. Operators must repeatedly bend over, reach into containers, or use tools such as nets and forks to laboriously retrieve food from the bottom. This repetitive, heavy physical labor is not only inefficient and causes worker fatigue but also poses safety risks such as slipping, sprains, or food falling. Utility Model Content

A strength reinforcing rod 6 is provided on the upper part of the fixing block 11. A protective shell 3 is fixedly connected to both ends of the upper side of the box body 2.

[0027] Specifically, the rotation of the dual-head motor 17 inside the motor platform 4 drives the rope wheel 15 to rotate. The rotation of the rope wheel 15 drives the transmission rope 13, which in turn drives the slider 10 along the outside of the slide rod 12. Spring 19 is located outside the slide rod 12. Fixed rod 7 is fixedly connected to the inside of the right side of the slider 10. Spring 23 is located outside the fixed rod 7. One end of spring 19 is located on the upper side of the slider 10, and the other end is located on the upper side of the protective shell 3. When the dual-head motor 17 rotates, the rope wheels 15 at both ends drive the transmission rope 13. The transmission rope 13 drives the slider 10 to move upward along the slide rod 12, while spring 19 is compressed to achieve the upward movement. When it is necessary to descend, spring 19 slowly rebounds, causing the slider 10 to move downward. The locking block 20 is slidably connected to both ends of the fixed rod 7. The pressing block 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the locking block 20. The strength reinforcing rod 6 is slidably connected to... The fixing slot is located inside the upper side of the fixing block 11, and the right side of the fixing block 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the food cage 16. When the pressing block 9 is pressed, the locking block 20 is placed into the fixing slot on the upper part of the fixing block 11, and the strength reinforcing rod 6 is inserted. Then, the locking block 8 is rotated counterclockwise. At the same time, the high-strength magnet 22 and the locking block 8 are connected to lock the strength reinforcing rod 6, thereby driving the food cage 16 to rise and fall. When the slider 10 drives the food cage 16 to rise to the designated position, the latch 21 on the lower side of the food cage 16 is opened, the food window 25 is opened upward and the food to be soaked is placed in. The food window 25 is closed downward and the latch 21 is locked. When the latch 21 is locked, the springs 19 on both sides of the slider 10 slowly spring back, driving the food and the food cage 16 into the soaking solution for soaking. This reduces the labor intensity, improves the soaking effect of the food, and reduces the waste of costs.

The transmission rope 13 inside the protective shell 3 drives the slider 10 to move upward. The slider 10 is fixed and moved by the sliding rods 12 on both sides. The springs 19 on the outside of the sliding rods 12 drive the slider 10 and the transmission rope 13 to move downward. As the transmission rope 13 moves downward, it drives the rope pulleys 15 to rotate. The slider 10 is connected to the fixing block 11 through the disassembly assembly. The food cage 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing block 11, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the food cage 16. The hinges 5 at both ends of the upper side and the latches 21 at both ends of the lower side of the food cage 16 can control the movement of the food cage. The food cage 25 is opened, closed, and fixed. The locking block 20 is fixed inside the slider 10 by the fixing rod 24 inside the slider 10. The pressing block 9 fixedly connected to the outside of the locking block 20 is pressed, and the spring 23 set outside the fixing rod 24 is compressed. When the pressing block 9 is pressed and put into the slot inside the fixing block 11, the spring 23 outside the fixing rod 24 springs back. At the same time as the spring 23 springs back, the strength reinforcing rod 6 is inserted into the lower side of the locking block 20 for reinforcement. The strength reinforcing rod 6 is locked by the locking block 8 on the upper outer side of the fixing block 11. The locking block 8 is fixed to the upper outer side of the fixing block 11 by the fixing rod 7 on the right side of the locking block 8.
