Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cooking devices, specifically relating to a cooking device for preparing chicken powder. Background Technology
[0002] Chicken meal is widely used in meat product seasoning, pet food, and complex protein formulations. Its preparation process typically includes raw material pretreatment, maturation (denaturation and deodorization under hot steam), draining / coagulation, drying, and grinding. The maturation stage requires controlled heating of large quantities of chicken pieces / minced meat in a sealed container to uniformly denature the proteins and achieve the desired flavor and texture. Existing equipment mainly consists of jacketed kettles, fixed cooking tanks, or drum-type tanks. A typical configuration includes: a kettle / tank body, a single-point or annular steam inlet, and basic safety depressurization and coagulation removal mechanisms. Some models are equipped with manual stirring or intermittent turning to improve heating uniformity.
[0003] In the existing technology, when using a drum-type cooking tank to cook chicken, manual labor is required to use tools such as pushers and shovels to spread the chicken evenly inside the tank during the feeding process. After the cooking process is completed, these tools are also needed to remove the material inside the tank, which is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cooking device for preparing chicken powder. By rotating the auger shaft with a crank handle, the auger blades are driven to evenly distribute and discharge the material in the cooking tank. This improves the efficiency of loading and unloading without the need for other tools.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cooking device for preparing chicken powder, comprising a base, two sets of supports on the top of the base, a cooking tank between the two sets of supports, a first hollow rotating shaft and a second hollow rotating shaft respectively at both ends of the cooking tank, one end of the first hollow rotating shaft connected to a rotary joint, and the other end of the rotary joint connected to a steam device, a steam uniform injection mechanism connected to the end of the first hollow rotating shaft inside the cooking tank, and a auger synchronous locking mechanism connected to the end of the second hollow rotating shaft inside the cooking tank. A mesh cover is fixedly installed, and the top of the mesh cover is connected to an inlet / outlet channel. The top of the inlet / outlet channel extends through the top of the curing tank and is threadedly connected to the sealing cap. A first gear is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the second hollow rotating shaft. A motor is mounted on the side of the bracket on which the second hollow rotating shaft is located. The output end of the motor is connected to the second gear, and the second gear meshes with the first gear. An auger shaft is rotatably installed inside the second hollow rotating shaft. An auger blade is connected to the outside of the auger shaft through a connecting rod. A crank handle is connected to one end of the auger shaft.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When feeding the device, unscrew the sealing cap on the inlet and outlet channels, put the pre-treated chicken raw materials into the mesh cover inside the cooking tank, and rotate the locking pin by the handle to release it from the positioning hole, thus releasing the lock on the auger shaft. Rotate the auger shaft by the crank handle to drive the auger blades to rotate, and drive the chicken towards the depth of the mesh cover through the auger blades, so that the material is evenly spread inside the mesh cover, improving the uniformity of cooking. After the cooking work is completed, control the motor to drive the cooking tank to rotate until the inlet and outlet channels face downwards and then stop running. After moving the chicken collection container below the inlet and outlet channels, the sealing cap can be opened to discharge the chicken. When discharging the chicken, rotate the locking pin again to release it from the lock on the auger shaft, and then rotate the auger shaft in the opposite direction by the crank handle. Through the rotating auger blades, the chicken located in the mesh cover is transported towards the position of the inlet and outlet channels, so that the chicken inside the cooking tank can be discharged smoothly without the need for other tools to remove it.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the first hollow rotating shaft and the second hollow rotating shaft respectively pass through a set of brackets and are rotatably connected to them.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the steam device includes a steam delivery pipe connected to a rotary joint, and the other end of the steam delivery pipe is connected to a steam generator.
[0009] To achieve a seamless heat and humidity field throughout the entire warehouse: As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the steam uniform injection mechanism includes a diversion joint located at one end of the first hollow rotating shaft, and multiple L-shaped pipes are distributed in a ring around the outer side of the diversion joint, with multiple steam nozzles evenly distributed on the L-shaped pipes.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: the steam generator sends steam to the rotary joint through the steam delivery pipe, and the rotary joint guides the steam into the first hollow rotating shaft. The steam enters the steam uniform spraying mechanism at the end of the first hollow rotating shaft, and the steam is distributed circumferentially to multiple L-shaped pipes through the diversion joint. The steam nozzles arranged at equal intervals on each L-shaped pipe spray the steam into the cooking tank at multiple points and evenly. The steam comes into contact with the chicken through the mesh of the mesh cover from all directions, so as to achieve the construction of a heat and humidity field without dead corners in the whole tank.
[0011] To lock and unlock the auger shaft and the second hollow shaft: As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the auger synchronous locking mechanism includes a threaded connection seat connected to one end of the second hollow rotating shaft, a locking pin is installed on the inner thread of the threaded connection seat, and a handle is connected to the top of the locking pin.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: by rotating the handle, the locking pin can be moved away from the positioning hole through the transmission between it and the threaded connection seat, thus releasing the lock on the auger shaft. By rotating the handle in the opposite direction, the locking pin can be driven to approach the positioning hole and inserted into it, thereby locking the auger shaft and the second hollow shaft.
[0013] To prevent the chicken from piling up: As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the top of the auger shaft is provided with a positioning hole, and the positioning hole is inserted and connected to a locking pin.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the positioning hole and the locking pin are inserted and connected, so that the auger shaft can rotate synchronously with the curing tank when it rotates, avoiding the chicken from being piled up on one end of the mesh cover due to relative rotation between the auger shaft and the curing tank, which affects the uniformity of curing.
[0015] To avoid excessive pressure and to drain condensate: As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the bottom of the curing tank is provided with a pressure relief valve, and the top of the curing tank is provided with a condensate drain valve.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: During the aging process, the pressure relief valve automatically releases pressure in the aging tank to avoid excessive pressure. After aging is completed, the wastewater collection container is placed below the condensate drain valve. By opening the condensate drain valve, the condensate in the aging tank and the water drained from the chicken can be discharged.
[0017] In summary, the beneficial effects of this case are as follows: 1. When feeding the device, unscrew the sealing cap on the inlet and outlet channels, and put the pre-treated chicken raw materials into the mesh cover inside the cooking tank. You can rotate the locking pin by the handle to release it from the positioning hole and unlock the auger shaft. Rotate the auger shaft by the crank to drive the auger blades to rotate. The auger blades drive the chicken to move towards the depth of the mesh cover, so that the material is evenly spread inside the mesh cover, improving the uniformity of cooking. After the cooking work is completed, control the motor to drive the cooking tank to rotate until the inlet and outlet channels face downwards and then stop running. After moving the chicken collection container to the bottom of the inlet and outlet channels, you can open the sealing cap to discharge the chicken. When discharging the chicken, rotate the locking pin again to release it from the lock on the auger shaft. You can then rotate the auger shaft in the opposite direction by the crank. The rotating auger blades will transport the chicken in the mesh cover towards the position of the inlet and outlet channels, so that the chicken inside the cooking tank can be discharged smoothly without the need for other tools to spread or scoop it out. 2. The steam generator sends steam to the rotary joint through the steam delivery pipe. The rotary joint then guides the steam into the first hollow rotating shaft. The steam enters the steam uniform spraying mechanism at the end of the first hollow rotating shaft. Through the diversion joint, the steam is distributed circumferentially to multiple L-shaped pipes. The steam nozzles arranged at equal intervals on each L-shaped pipe spray the steam into the cooking tank at multiple points and evenly. The steam comes into contact with the chicken through the mesh of the mesh cover from all directions, achieving the construction of a heat and humidity field without dead corners in the entire tank, thus improving the uniformity of cooking.

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.
[0021] like Figure 1-6As shown, a cooking device for preparing chicken powder includes a base 11. Two sets of supports 12 are provided on the top of the base 11, and a cooking tank 2 is positioned between the two sets of supports 12. A first hollow rotating shaft 211 and a second hollow rotating shaft 212 are respectively provided at both ends of the cooking tank 2. One end of the first hollow rotating shaft 211 is connected to a rotary joint 221, and the other end of the rotary joint 221 is connected to a steam device. A steam uniform spraying mechanism is connected to one end of the first hollow rotating shaft 211 inside the cooking tank 2, and a screw conveyor synchronous locking mechanism is connected to one end of the second hollow rotating shaft 212. A mesh cover 24 is fixedly installed inside the cooking tank 2. The top of the device is connected to an inlet / outlet channel 25, the top of which extends through the top of the curing tank 2 and is threadedly connected to the sealing cover 26. A first gear 31 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the second hollow rotating shaft 212. A motor 32 is mounted on the side of the bracket 12 where the second hollow rotating shaft 212 is located. The output end of the motor 32 is connected to a second gear 33, which meshes with the first gear 31. An auger shaft 41 is rotatably mounted inside the second hollow rotating shaft 212. An auger blade 42 is connected to the outside of the auger shaft 41 via a connecting rod. A crank handle 44 is connected to one end of the auger shaft 41.
[0022] When feeding the equipment, unscrew the sealing cap 26 on the inlet / outlet channel 25 and put the pre-treated chicken raw material into the mesh cover 24 inside the cooking tank 2. The locking pin 232 can be rotated by the handle 233 to move it away from the positioning hole 43, thereby releasing the lock on the auger shaft 41. Rotating the auger shaft 41 by the crank handle 44 drives the auger blades 42 to rotate. The auger blades 42 drive the chicken to move deeper into the mesh cover 24, so that the material is evenly spread inside the mesh cover 24, improving the uniformity of cooking. After the cooking process is completed, control the motor 32 to drive the cooking process. After the tank 2 rotates to the point where the inlet / outlet channel 25 faces downwards, it stops running. After moving the chicken collection container below the inlet / outlet channel 25, the sealing cover 26 can be opened to discharge the chicken. When discharging the chicken, rotate the locking pin 232 again to release it from locking the auger shaft 41. Then, the auger shaft 41 can be rotated in the opposite direction by the crank handle 44. The rotating auger blades 42 will transport the chicken inside the mesh cover 24 toward the position of the inlet / outlet channel 25, so that the chicken inside the cooking tank 2 can be discharged smoothly without the need for other tools to remove it.
[0023] The first hollow rotating shaft 211 and the second hollow rotating shaft 212 respectively pass through a set of brackets 12 and are rotatably connected to them.
[0024] The steam device includes a steam delivery pipe 222 connected to a rotary joint 221, and the other end of the steam delivery pipe 222 is connected to a steam generator 223.
[0025] The steam uniform injection mechanism includes a diversion joint 224 located at one end of the first hollow rotating shaft 211. Multiple L-shaped pipes 225 are distributed in a ring around the outer side of the diversion joint 224, and multiple steam nozzles 226 are evenly distributed on the L-shaped pipes 225.
[0026] Steam generator 223 delivers steam to rotary joint 221 through steam delivery pipe 222. The steam is then introduced into first hollow rotating shaft 211 through rotary joint 221. The steam enters the steam uniform spraying mechanism at the end of the first hollow rotating shaft 211. The steam is distributed circumferentially to multiple L-shaped pipes 225 through diverter joint 224. Steam nozzles 226 arranged at equal intervals on each L-shaped pipe 225 spray the steam into the cooking tank 2 at multiple points and evenly. The steam comes into contact with the chicken through the mesh of the mesh cover 24 from all directions, achieving the construction of a heat and humidity field without dead corners in the entire tank.
[0027] The auger synchronous locking mechanism includes a threaded connecting seat 231 connected to one end of the second hollow rotating shaft 212. A locking pin 232 is installed on the inner thread of the threaded connecting seat 231, and a handle 233 is connected to the top of the locking pin 232.
[0028] Rotating the locking pin 232 by the handle 233 will cause it to move away from the positioning hole 43 through the transmission between it and the threaded connection seat 231, thus releasing the lock on the auger shaft 41. Rotating the handle 233 in the opposite direction will drive the locking pin 232 to approach the positioning hole 43 and insert it into the hole, thereby locking the auger shaft 41 and the second hollow shaft 212.
[0029] The top of the auger shaft 41 is provided with a positioning hole 43, which is inserted and connected to the locking pin 232.
[0030] The positioning hole 43 is inserted and connected to the locking pin 232, so that the auger shaft 41 can rotate synchronously with the cooking tank 2 when it rotates, thus avoiding the chicken from being piled up at one end of the mesh cover 24 due to relative rotation between the auger shaft 41 and the cooking tank 2, which would affect the uniformity of cooking.
[0031] The bottom of the curing tank 2 is provided with a pressure relief valve 51, and the top of the curing tank 2 is provided with a condensate drain valve 52.
[0032] During the aging process, the pressure relief valve 51 automatically releases the pressure in the aging tank 2 to prevent excessive pressure. After aging is complete, the wastewater collection container is placed below the condensate drain valve 52. Opening the condensate drain valve 52 will drain the condensate and water drained from the chicken in the aging tank 2.
[0033] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: The entire machine uses the base 11 as a support platform. Two sets of brackets 12 support the first hollow rotating shaft 211 and the second hollow rotating shaft 212, along with the cooking tank 2. The cooking tank 2 can rotate smoothly on the brackets 12 via the first hollow rotating shaft 211 and the second hollow rotating shaft 212. When feeding, unscrew the sealing cover 26 on the inlet / outlet channel 25 and put the pre-treated chicken raw material into the mesh cover 24 inside the cooking tank 2. The locking pin 232 can be rotated by the handle 233 to move it away from the positioning hole 43, releasing the lock on the auger shaft 41. The auger shaft 41 is rotated by the crank handle 44, which drives the auger blades 42 to rotate. The auger blades 42 drive the chicken to move deeper into the mesh cover 24, so that the material is evenly spread inside the mesh cover 24. Then, the positioning hole 43 can be realigned with the locking pin 232, and the lock can be re-locked by rotating the handle 233. Pin 232 is inserted and reconnected to positioning hole 43 to lock auger shaft 41. Then, the sealing cover 26 is reinstalled and tightened to form a sealed cavity inside the cooking tank 2. Then, the chicken can be cooked. Steam generator 223 is turned on. Steam generator 223 sends steam to rotary joint 221 through steam delivery pipe 222. Steam is introduced into first hollow shaft 211 through rotary joint 221. Steam enters the steam uniform spraying mechanism at the end of first hollow shaft 211. Steam is distributed circumferentially to multiple L-shaped pipes 225 through diverter joint 224. Steam nozzles 226 evenly arranged on each L-shaped pipe 225 spray steam into the cooking tank 2 at multiple points. Steam comes into contact with chicken through the mesh of mesh cover 24 from all directions, so as to build a heat and humidity field without dead corners in the whole chamber. The control motor 32 runs, and drives the second gear 33 to rotate. The meshing between the second gear 33 and the first gear 31 drives the second hollow shaft 212 to rotate together with the curing tank 2, so that the material in the curing tank 2 will continuously roll and tumble due to gravity, so that the material is heated evenly and the surface moisture is constantly renewed. During the curing process, the pressure relief valve 51 automatically releases pressure from the curing tank 2 to avoid excessive pressure. After the curing process is completed, the control motor 32 drives the curing tank 2 to rotate until the inlet / outlet channel 25 faces downwards and then stops. At this time, place the wastewater collection container below the condensate drain valve 52, open the condensate drain valve 52, and the condensate and water drained from the chicken in the curing tank 2 can be discharged. After moving the chicken collection container below the inlet / outlet channel 25, the sealing cover 26 can be opened to discharge the chicken. When discharging the chicken, rotate the locking pin 232 again to release it from locking the auger shaft 41. Then, the auger shaft 41 can be rotated in the opposite direction by the crank 44. Through the rotating auger blades 42, the chicken in the mesh cover 24 is transported towards the position of the inlet / outlet channel 25, so that the chicken inside the curing tank 2 can be discharged smoothly without the need for other tools to remove it.
