Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of foie gras soaking equipment, specifically a soaking device for foie gras processing. Background Technology
[0002] Foie gras, the liver of the goose (Amanita muscaria), is considered an ideal food for replenishing blood and promoting health due to its rich nutrition and special effects. Foie gras is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A, B2, B6, B12, folic acid, niacin, and other vitamins and minerals. In particular, its vitamin A content is much higher than in other foods, playing an important role in vision health, immune function, and skin and mucous membrane repair. Furthermore, foie gras is rich in iron, which can replenish the body's iron levels, increase hemoglobin levels, and prevent anemia. During processing, foie gras needs to be soaked in a 1% salt solution to ensure optimal processing results.
[0003] According to a soaking device for foie gras processing with application number 202420903777.8, during soaking, the foie gras to be soaked is placed inside a storage box and pushed into a fixed frame. During the pushing process, the clamping post contacts two clamping plates, and under the action of subsequent pushing force, the pressure spring undergoes elastic deformation. After the two clamping plates open, the clamping post enters the interior, and the pressure spring returns to its elastic deformation, pushing the clamping plates to clamp and fix the clamping post, thereby fixing the storage box.
[0004] However, although the above-mentioned soaking equipment for foie gras processing can reduce foie gras breakage, the foie gras is easily deformed by being stacked and fixed in the storage box. Due to the stacking, multiple pieces of foie gras stick together, which also affects the soaking effect. Therefore, there are still some shortcomings. To address this, we propose a soaking equipment for foie gras processing. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a soaking device for foie gras processing, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a soaking device for processing foie gras, comprising a soaking tank, a side support plate fixedly installed on one side of the top of the soaking tank, a top plate fixedly installed on the top of the side support plate, a hanging plate at the bottom of the top plate, a plurality of hooks fixedly installed at the bottom of the hanging plate, a holding bag hanging at the bottom of the hooks, a sealing rope at the top of the holding bag, the sealing rope cooperating with the hooks, a hanging line tied to the bottom of the holding bag, and a counterweight tied to one end of the hanging line.
[0007] Furthermore, an aeration plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the soaking tank, and several aeration holes are opened inside the top of the aeration plate. An air pump is fixedly installed on one side of the soaking tank, and an air inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the output end of the air pump. One end of the air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of the aeration plate.
[0008] Furthermore, two racks are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate, a dual-axis motor is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the top plate, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the dual-axis motor, and a gear is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft, the gear meshing with the racks.
[0009] Furthermore, two guide rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the mounting plate. The guide rods are slidably connected to the top plate, and a limit plate is fixedly installed at one end of the guide rod.
[0010] Furthermore, two shaft brackets are fixedly installed on the top of the top plate, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the shaft brackets.
[0011] Furthermore, the top plate has a through hole that engages with the rack, and the rack passes through the interior of the through hole.
[0012] This utility model provides a soaking device for processing foie gras, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This foie gras processing soaking equipment, through the setting of a hanging plate, hooks, a container bag, sealing rope, suspension line, and counterweight, ensures that when processing foie gras, the foie gras to be soaked is placed individually into the container bag, sealed with the sealing rope, and then hung on the hook. Subsequently, during the soaking process, the weight of the counterweight ensures that the foie gras in the container bag sinks into the brine in the soaking tank, ensuring the soaking effect. Soaking the foie gras individually in the container bag avoids deformation and breakage during the soaking process.
[0014] 2. This foie gras processing soaking equipment, through the setting of aeration plates, aeration holes, air pump and air inlet pipe, allows air to be forced into the aeration plates through the air inlet pipe and then aerated through the aeration holes during the soaking process of the foie gras in the soaking tank. This air is forcibly dissolved into the water to form an air-water mixture. The movement of this mixture generates negative pressure, which pushes the water to flow, thereby causing the brine in the soaking tank to flow and soak the foie gras, thus improving the effect and efficiency of removing blood and fishy smell from the foie gras.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] Please see Figs. 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a soaking device for processing foie gras, including a soaking tank 1, a side support plate 2 fixedly installed on one side of the top of the soaking tank 1, a top plate 3 fixedly installed on the top of the side support plate 2, a hanging plate 4 provided at the bottom of the top plate 3, a plurality of hooks 5 fixedly installed at the bottom of the hanging plate 4, a holding bag 6 hanging at the bottom of the hooks 5, a sealing rope 7 provided at the top of the holding bag 6, the sealing rope 7 cooperating with the hooks 5, a hanging line 8 tied to the bottom of the holding bag 6, and a counterweight 9 tied to one end of the hanging line 8; wherein the holding bag 6 is a food-grade non-woven bag, by individually placing the foie gras to be soaked into the holding bag 6 and then soaking, it is possible to avoid the foie gras being squeezed or bumped together. By setting the counterweight 9, it can sink to the bottom of the brine in the soaking tank 1 by its own weight, so that the holding bag 6 and the foie gras inside are completely submerged in the brine for soaking, thereby improving the soaking effect.
[0022] An aeration plate 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the soaking tank 1. Several aeration holes 11 are opened inside the top of the aeration plate 10. An air pump 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the soaking tank 1. An air inlet pipe 13 is fixedly installed at the output end of the air pump 12. One end of the air inlet pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the input end of the aeration plate 10. Air is blown into the air inlet pipe 13 by the air pump 12. After the air is introduced into the aeration plate 10 by the air inlet pipe 13, the air in the aeration holes 11 is aerated through the aeration holes 11, which forces the air to dissolve into the water and form a mixture of air and water. The movement of this mixture will generate negative pressure, which will push the brine in the soaking tank 1 to flow. Then the brine flow can quickly remove the fishy smell and blood from the foie gras, thus improving its soaking and deodorizing effect.
[0023] Two racks 14 are fixedly installed on the top of the hanging plate 4. A dual-axis motor 15 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the top plate 3. A rotating shaft 16 is fixedly installed at the output end of the dual-axis motor 15. A gear 17 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 16. The gear 17 meshes with the rack 14. By turning on the dual-axis motor 15, the rotating shaft 16 and the gear 17 are driven to rotate. After the gear 17 meshes with the rack 14, the rack 14 moves down and drives the hanging plate 4 down, so that the container bag 6 hanging at the bottom and the goose liver inside it sink into the brine in the soaking water tank 1. After soaking, the dual-axis motor 15 drives the rotating shaft 16 and the gear 17 to reverse. The gear 17 meshes with the rack 14 and drives the hanging plate 4 to move up, so that the container bag 6 is lifted out of the water in the soaking water tank 1 to drain.
[0024] One side of the immersion tank 1 is equipped with a controller (not shown) that works with the air pump 12 and the dual-shaft motor 15.
[0025] Two guide rods 19 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the mounting plate 4. The guide rods 19 are slidably connected to the top plate 3. A limit plate 20 is fixedly installed at one end of the guide rod 19. When the mounting plate 4 is driven to rise and fall by the dual-axis motor 15, the guide rods 19 are slidably connected to the top plate 3, so that the rise and fall of the mounting plate 4 can be guided by the guide rods 19, thereby improving the stability of the rise and fall of the mounting plate 4.
[0026] Two shaft brackets 18 are fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 3, and the rotating shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the shaft brackets 18. By setting the shaft brackets 18, the stability of the rotating shaft 16 when the dual-axis motor 15 drives the rotating shaft 16 to rotate can be improved.
[0027] The top plate 3 has a through hole that engages with the rack 14, and the rack 14 passes through the through hole. By having a through hole in the top plate 3 that engages with the rack 14, the rack 14 can pass through its interior and connect with the hanging plate 4, thereby driving the hanging plate 4 to rise and fall together through the meshing of the gear 17 and the rack 14.
[0028] In summary, when using this foie gras soaking equipment, the operator individually places the foie gras to be soaked into a container bag 6, then seals the bag 6 with a sealing rope 7 and hangs it on a hook 5. After several foie gras are placed into the container bags 6 and hung up, the dual-shaft motor 15 is turned on to drive the drive shaft 16 and gear 17 to rotate. When the gear 17 meshes with the rack 14, the rack 14 moves down, simultaneously causing the hanging plate 4 to move down, causing the container bags 6 and the foie gras inside to sink into the brine in the soaking tank 1. With the addition of a counterweight 9, the counterweight 9 sinks to the bottom of the brine in the soaking tank 1 by its own weight, simultaneously causing the container bags 6 and the foie gras inside to sink into the brine. The entire goose liver is submerged in brine for soaking. Then, the air pump 12 is turned on to blow air into the air inlet pipe 13. The air inlet pipe 13 introduces air into the aeration plate 10, and the air in the aeration holes 11 is aerated through the aeration holes 11, which forces the air to dissolve into the water, forming a mixture of air and water. The movement of this mixture generates negative pressure, which pushes the brine in the soaking tank 1 to flow. This allows the brine to quickly remove the fishy smell and blood from the goose liver, improving its soaking and deodorizing effect. After the goose liver has been soaked, the dual-shaft motor 15 is turned on by the controller to drive the rotating shaft 16 and gear 17 to reverse. The gear 17 meshes with the rack 14 and drives the hanging plate 4 to move upward, so that the cloth bag 6 is lifted out of the water in the soaking tank 1 to drain.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. 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.
