[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a vegetable pickling tank, including a pickling tank body 1, a support frame 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the pickling tank body 1, a drain valve 3 penetrating through the bottom of the pickling tank body 1, the bottom of the pickling tank body 1 being arc-shaped to facilitate the discharge of pickling liquid through the drain valve 3, the bottom of the pickling tank body 1 being arc-shaped, a placement mechanism 4 for placing vegetables being provided inside the pickling tank body 1, a lifting mechanism 5 for pulling the placement mechanism 4 upward being provided outside the pickling tank body 1, and an air-blowing mechanism 6 for inflating the pickling liquid being provided inside the pickling tank body 1 and below the placement mechanism 4.

[0019] The pickling tank 1 can hold the vegetables and pickling liquid. The air-blowing mechanism 6 can make the pickling liquid boil and swell, which can prevent the pickling liquid from accumulating at the bottom of the pickling tank 1 and ensuring that the vegetables taste uniform. The lifting mechanism 5 can lift the placement mechanism 4, which allows the operator to place the vegetables on the placement mechanism 4 in advance, which reduces the difficulty of placement to a certain extent, ensures that the vegetables can be placed evenly, and also prevents the operator from bringing external impurities into the pickling tank 1.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-3 The air-blowing mechanism 6 includes an air supply pipe 7, a diversion pipe 8, an air outlet pipe 9, and an air pump 10. The air supply pipe 7 is fixedly installed inside the body 1 of the pickling tank. Multiple diversion pipes 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the air supply pipe 7. Multiple air outlet pipes 9 are opened on the diversion pipes 8. An air pump 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the body 1 of the pickling tank. One end of the air pump 10 is connected to the air supply pipe 7.

[0021] When the pickling liquid boils as needed, the air pump 10 delivers gas through the gas pipe 7. The gas is then discharged through multiple sets of gas outlet pipes 9 on the diversion pipe 8, which prevents the material in the pickling liquid from accumulating at the bottom of the pickling tank body 1.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-3The placement mechanism 4 includes a mounting plate 11, a limiting post 12, a placement plate 13, a sliding sleeve 14, and a fixing ring 15. Multiple sets of mounting plates 11 are fixedly installed inside the pickling tank body 1. A limiting post 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 11. A sliding sleeve 14 that is slidably connected to the limiting post 12 is fixedly installed on the placement plate 13. Multiple sets of fixing rings 15 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the placement plate 13. A semi-circular placement boss 24 is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting post 12.

[0023] When the lifting mechanism 5 moves the mounting plate 11 upward, the placement plate 13 and the sliding sleeve 14 can move upward along the limiting post 12. After the placement plate 13 moves to the corresponding position, the operator can place the vegetables on the placement plate 13. The semi-circular placement protrusion 24 can facilitate the insertion of the sliding sleeve 14 and the placement plate 13 into the outside of the limiting post 12.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 The lifting mechanism 5 includes a drive motor 16, a take-up roller 17, a fixed base 18, a grooved pulley 19, and a traction rope 20. The drive motor 16 is fixedly installed on the outside of the pickling tank body 1. The output end of the drive motor 16 is fixedly connected to the take-up roller 17. The fixed base 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the pickling tank body 1 at the position corresponding to the fixed ring 15. The grooved pulley 19 is rotatably connected inside the fixed base 18. The traction rope 20 is fixedly installed on the fixed ring 15. One end of the traction rope 20 passes through the grooved pulley 19 and is fixedly installed on the take-up roller 17.

[0025] When the placement mechanism 4 needs to be lifted, the drive motor 16 drives the take-up roller 17 to rotate, and then the traction rope 20 can be wound onto the take-up roller 17. The traction rope 20 is limited by the groove pulley 19 and pulls the fixing ring 15 and the placement plate 13, thereby allowing the placement plate 13 to move upward.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 Both ends of the placement plate 13 are fixedly connected to the limiting seat 21, and the pickling tank body 1 is fixedly installed with the limiting sleeve 22. The limiting sleeve 22 is provided with a positioning rod 23 that is inserted into the limiting seat 21.

[0027] When the placement plate 13 is raised to the corresponding height, the positioning rod 23 is pushed to move along the inside of the limiting sleeve 22 and insert into the inside of the limiting seat 21. This can position the placement plate 13 and prevent the placement plate 13 from falling due to too much vegetables being put in.

[0028] In use, the pickling tank body 1 can hold the vegetables and pickling liquid. The aeration mechanism 6 then causes the pickling liquid to boil and swell, preventing it from accumulating at the bottom of the pickling tank body 1 and ensuring consistent vegetable flavor. The lifting mechanism 5 then raises the placement mechanism 4, allowing operators to pre-place the vegetables, reducing placement difficulty and ensuring even distribution. This also prevents operators from bringing external impurities into the pickling tank body 1. When the pickling liquid boils, the aeration pump 10 delivers gas through the gas pipe 7, which is then discharged through multiple gas outlet pipes 9 on the diversion pipe 8, preventing material accumulation at the bottom of the pickling tank body 1. Finally, when the lifting mechanism 5 moves the mounting plate 11 upwards, the mounting plate can be placed... 13 and sliding sleeve 14 move upward along the limiting post 12. After the placement plate 13 moves to the corresponding position, the operator can place the vegetables on the top of the placement plate 13. The semi-circular placement protrusion 24 makes it easy for the sliding sleeve 14 and the placement plate 13 to be inserted into the outside of the limiting post 12. When the placement mechanism 4 needs to be lifted, the drive motor 16 drives the winding roller 17 to rotate, and then the traction rope 20 can be wound on the winding roller 17. The traction rope 20 is limited by the groove pulley 19 and pulls the fixing ring 15 and the placement plate 13, so that the placement plate 13 can be moved upward. When the placement plate 13 is lifted to the corresponding height, the positioning rod 23 is pushed to move along the inside of the limiting sleeve 22 and insert it into the inside of the limiting seat 21. This can position the placement plate 13 and prevent the placement plate 13 from falling due to too many vegetables being put in.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
