Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable pickling and processing technology, and in particular to a re-rinsing mechanism for fermentation of pickled vegetables. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of pickled vegetable production, brine pickling is a common processing method. The main pickling process involves diluting salt and other auxiliary materials with drinking water to a certain concentration to create a pickling solution, which is then used to pickle and ferment fresh vegetables. A search revealed Chinese patent CN220685078U, which discloses a backflow mechanism for pickled vegetable fermentation. This mechanism includes a fermentation tank, a circulation pump fixed to the front of its outer wall, a connecting pipe between the circulation pump and the fermentation tank, two inclined plates slidably mounted on the inner wall of the fermentation tank, a lead screw fixed to the output shaft of a drive motor, a moving block inside a mounting box, and a spray box fixed to the rear of the moving block. In this invention, the circulating pump, connecting pipe, connecting hole, inclined plate, conveying pipe, mounting box, drive motor, lead screw, moving block, and spray box facilitate the collection of brine inside the fermentation tank at the connecting pipe, preventing the brine from dispersing and better controlling its distribution. This also allows the circulating pump and connecting pipe to draw brine more evenly, ensuring that the brine is circulated throughout the fermentation tank. Furthermore, it facilitates the even return of brine, improving the fermentation quality of the pickles.

[0003] The fermentation back-draining mechanism for pickled vegetables in the aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: When using this device, the baffle and cover plate need to be manually moved away during the loading and unloading process, which not only increases the labor intensity of the staff, but also brings inconvenience to the work. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a back-draining mechanism for fermentation of pickled vegetables.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A fermentation back-drenching mechanism for pickled vegetables includes a fermentation tank with inclined surfaces on both sides of the bottom. A pressing mechanism is located at the top of the fermentation tank. The pressing mechanism includes a U-shaped lifting rod positioned on one side of the top inner wall of the fermentation tank. Positioning rods are slidably fitted at both ends of the U-shaped lifting rod. Round holes adapted to the positioning rods are opened at both ends of the U-shaped lifting rod. Fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the two positioning rods, and each fixing block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fermentation tank. Rotating rods are rotatably fitted at both ends of the U-shaped lifting rod. Round holes adapted to the rotating rods are opened at both ends of the U-shaped lifting rod. A common rotating rod is fixedly connected between the two rotating rods. A mesh plate is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating rod away from the U-shaped lifting rod. A first L-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of both rotating rods.

[0007] Preferably, the pressing mechanism further includes a base plate fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the rotating rod, and the base plate is adapted to the U-shaped lifting rod. The inner wall of the fermentation tank is fixedly connected to the top of the two first L-shaped rods with L-shaped limiting plates, and the L-shaped limiting plates are adapted to the outer ends of the first L-shaped rods. The setting of the pressing mechanism greatly reduces the intensity of manual labor and provides convenience for loading and unloading materials.

[0008] Preferably, a spraying mechanism is provided on the top of the mesh plate. The spraying mechanism includes a second vertical plate fixedly connected to the top of the mesh plate near the rotating rod, a first vertical plate fixedly connected to the other side of the top of the mesh plate, and a spraying rod rotatably connected between the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate. The bottom of the spraying rod has multiple spraying holes, and a strip frame is fixedly connected to the top of the spraying rod near the second vertical plate.

[0009] Preferably, the spraying mechanism further includes a motor fixedly connected to the outside of the second vertical plate, the output end of the motor being fixedly connected to a second L-shaped rod through the second vertical plate, and the other end of the second L-shaped rod being slidably connected to the inside of the strip frame.

[0010] Preferably, cylinders are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the outer side of the fermentation tank near the U-shaped lifting rod, and L-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the top output ends of the two cylinders. The other ends of the two L-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the U-shaped lifting rod.

[0011] Preferably, an installation plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the outer wall of the fermentation tank near the cylinder, and a pump is fixedly connected to the installation plate. An output hose is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump, and the other end of the output hose is fixedly connected to one end of the spray rod.

[0012] Preferably, the pump input end is fixedly connected to an input pipe, and the other end of the input pipe is fixedly connected to a horizontal pipe. The horizontal pipe is fixedly embedded in the middle of the bottom of the fermentation tank, and multiple through holes are opened in the horizontal pipe inside the fermentation tank.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. By employing cylinder, L-shaped plate, and pressing mechanism technologies, when the cylinder extends, the U-shaped lifting rod raises the mesh plate, which then tilts to facilitate loading and unloading by workers. When the cylinder retracts, the mesh plate descends to press the vegetables, ensuring they are evenly submerged in the brine, thus improving the quality of the pickled vegetables. This effectively solves the problem of increased workflow mentioned in the background technology, thereby reducing manual labor intensity and providing convenience for loading and unloading. Simultaneously, the automatic pressing of vegetables eliminates fermentation differences caused by vegetables floating or uneven brine concentration, improving the stability and consistency of the pickled vegetable quality.

[0015] 2. By setting up a spraying mechanism, pump, and input pipe, the brine at the bottom of the fermentation tank can be extracted and sprayed out through the spraying rod. During the spraying process, the rod swings back and forth, so that the brine is evenly sprayed back, improving the quality of the pickled vegetables. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-6 A fermentation and rinsing mechanism for pickled vegetables includes a fermentation tank 1. The fermentation tank 1 has inclined surfaces on both sides of its bottom. A pressing mechanism 5 is located at the top of the fermentation tank 1. The pressing mechanism 5 includes a U-shaped lifting rod 501 located on one side of the top inner wall of the fermentation tank 1. Positioning rods 505 are slidably fitted at both ends of the U-shaped lifting rod 501. Round holes adapted to the positioning rods 505 are opened at both ends of the U-shaped lifting rod 501. Fixing blocks 506 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the two positioning rods 505, and each fixing block 506 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1. Rotating rods 504 are rotatably fitted at both ends of the U-shaped lifting rod 501. Round holes adapted to the rotating rods 504 are opened at both ends of the U-shaped lifting rod 501. A common rotating rod 502 is fixedly connected between the two rotating rods 504. A mesh plate 503 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating rod 502 away from the U-shaped lifting rod 501. A first L-shaped rod 507 is fixedly connected to the outer side of both rotating rods 504.

[0025] In this utility model, the pressing mechanism 5 also includes a base plate 509 fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the rotating rod 502, and the base plate 509 is adapted to the U-shaped lifting rod 501. The inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the two first L-shaped rods 507 with L-shaped limiting plates 508, and the L-shaped limiting plates 508 are adapted to the outer ends of the first L-shaped rods 507. By setting the pressing mechanism 5, no manual handling is required when loading and unloading, and the vegetables can be pressed during pickling.

[0026] In this utility model, a spraying mechanism 6 is provided on the top of the mesh plate 503. The spraying mechanism 6 includes a second vertical plate 602 fixedly connected to the top of the mesh plate 503 near the rotating rod 502, a first vertical plate 601 fixedly connected to the other side of the top of the mesh plate 503, and a spraying rod 603 rotatably connected between the first vertical plate 601 and the second vertical plate 602. The bottom of the spraying rod 603 is provided with multiple spraying holes, and a strip frame 604 is fixedly connected to the top of the spraying rod 603 near the second vertical plate 602.

[0027] In this utility model, the spraying mechanism 6 also includes a motor 606 fixedly connected to the outside of the second vertical plate 602. The output end of the motor 606 passes through the second vertical plate 602 and is fixedly connected to a second L-shaped rod 605. The other end of the second L-shaped rod 605 is slidably connected to the inside of the strip frame 604. Through the setting of the spraying mechanism 6, the salt water in the spraying rod 603 can be sprayed evenly onto the mesh plate 503.

[0028] In this invention, cylinders 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the fermentation tank 1 near the U-shaped lifting rod 501. L-shaped plates 401 are fixedly connected to the top output ends of the two cylinders 4. The other ends of the two L-shaped plates 401 are fixedly connected to the U-shaped lifting rod 501. The control of the screen plate 503 is realized by the extension and retraction of the cylinders 4.

[0029] In this invention, an installation plate 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the outer wall of the fermentation tank 1 near the cylinder 4, and a pump 201 is fixedly connected to the installation plate 2. An output hose 203 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump 201, and the other end of the output hose 203 is fixedly connected to one end of the spray rod 603. An input pipe 202 is fixedly connected to the input end of the pump 201, and a horizontal pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the other end of the input pipe 202. The horizontal pipe 3 is fixedly embedded in the middle of the bottom of the fermentation tank 1, and multiple through holes are opened in the horizontal pipe 3 inside the fermentation tank 1. Through the setting of the pump 201, the brine at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1 can be drawn to the top.

[0030] Working principle: When the device is in use, the two cylinders 4 extend initially, causing the U-shaped lifting rod 501 to rise along with the mesh plate 503 and the spraying mechanism 6. The base plate 509 ensures that the mesh plate 503 remains horizontal. As the U-shaped lifting rod 501 and the rotating rod 502 continue to rise, the outer end of the first L-shaped rod 507 contacts the L-shaped limiting plate 508, causing the rotating rod 502 to gradually tilt upwards along with the mesh plate 503 and the spraying mechanism 6. This facilitates feeding the top of the fermentation tank 1, allowing vegetables to be added. Then, the cylinders 4 retract, causing the mesh plate 503 and the U-shaped lifting rod 501 to gradually return to their original positions. The mesh plate 503 allows for the pressing of the vegetables on top. The pressure ensures that the vegetables are all below the liquid, facilitating flavor absorption. The motor 606 is positioned above the liquid surface and does not come into contact with it. When the motor 606 and pump 201 are turned on, pump 201 draws the brine from the bottom of fermentation tank 1 and delivers it to the spray bar 603. The motor 606 drives the rotation of the second L-shaped bar 605, causing the strip frame 604 to swing along with the spray bar 603, ensuring that the brine is evenly sprayed onto the spray mesh plate 503. This allows the vegetables at the top of fermentation tank 1 to also be evenly exposed to the brine. The pressing mechanism 5 automatically presses the vegetables, ensuring they are evenly submerged in the brine. Simultaneously, when picking up the vegetables, the mechanism automatically tilts them upwards at a certain angle, facilitating manual loading and unloading.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
