Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, specifically a shrimp tail tumbling machine with an adjustable roller tilt angle. Background Technology

[0002] The shrimp tail tumbler accelerates the penetration of seasonings into the shrimp tail meat through gentle tumbling and light pressure, shortens marinating time and ensures even seasoning; at the same time, it reduces damage to the shrimp meat, maintains its tender texture, and enhances water retention, preventing moisture loss during processing, making the shrimp tails more tender and improving product quality and efficiency.

[0003] However, existing tumbling machines lack the function of adjusting the tilt angle of the drum, and the tumbling method is singular and fixed. This not only makes it difficult to adapt to the tumbling requirements of shrimp tails at different processing stages, but also easily leads to material residue or obstruction during discharge due to the fixed angle, affecting processing efficiency. Secondly, during the discharge process, the impact force of the falling material can easily cause the receiving box to tip over, directly interfering with the continuity and stability of the production process. Therefore, it is usually necessary to manually hold the receiving box, which adds extra labor intensity. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a shrimp tail tumbling machine with an adjustable drum tilt angle, which solves the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a shrimp tail tumbling machine with an adjustable roller tilt angle, comprising a drive chamber, a movable support, and a roller, wherein the movable support is rotatably connected to the top of the drive chamber, and the roller is rotatably connected to the movable support; An angle adjustment motor is installed on the side wall of one end of the drive chamber. The output shaft of the angle adjustment motor passes through the drive chamber and is coaxially fixedly connected to a threaded rod. A slider is connected to the threaded rod. Connecting rods are rotatably connected to both sides of the slider. The end of the connecting rod away from the slider is rotatably connected to a movable bracket. A gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the threaded rod. Two racks are slidably connected to the side wall of the drive chamber near the gear. The two racks are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the gear and both mesh with the gear. The end of the rack away from the gear extends out of the drive chamber and is fixedly connected to a clamping plate. A receiving platform is fixedly connected to the side of the drive chamber away from the angle adjustment motor.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a plurality of rollers are rotatably connected to the movable support, and a roller drive motor is provided at the free end of the movable support.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the outer peripheral surface of the roller is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the drum.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the output end of the roller drive motor is fixedly connected to one end of the roller.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the end of the roller away from the roller drive motor is provided with a discharge port, and an organic cover is provided on the discharge port.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a vacuum tube is provided on the cover.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The angle adjustment motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, which in turn drives the slider to move along the axial direction of the threaded rod. The linkage between the slider and the movable bracket drives the movable bracket to rotate around the connection point at the top of the drive chamber, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the drum. This design can adapt to the tumbling requirements of shrimp tails at different processing stages, ensuring the processing quality of shrimp tails and improving the output efficiency. 2. The gear coaxially connected to the output end of the threaded rod meshes with the racks symmetrically distributed in the drive chamber, causing the clamping plates at the ends of the racks to move in opposite directions as the threaded rod rotates. This clamping structure, linked to the angle adjustment action, compared to a separate clamping device, requires no additional power source to automatically clamp the receiving box on the receiving platform when the roller is tilted for discharge, and automatically releases it for loading and unloading when the roller is not tilted. This not only reduces material spillage caused by instability of the receiving box and lowers the labor intensity of manual support, but also ensures the stability of the overall processing.

[0013] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0014] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: A shrimp tail tumbling machine with an adjustable roller tilt angle includes a drive chamber 1, a movable support 2 and a roller 3. The movable support 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the drive chamber 1, and the roller 3 is rotatably connected to the movable support 2. An angle adjustment motor 4 is installed on the side wall of one end of the drive chamber 1. The output shaft of the angle adjustment motor 4 passes through the drive chamber 1 and is coaxially fixedly connected to a threaded rod 5. A slider 6 is connected to the threaded rod 5. Both sides of the slider 6 are rotatably connected to a connecting rod 7. The end of the connecting rod 7 away from the slider 6 is rotatably connected to the movable bracket 2. A gear 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the threaded rod 5. Two racks 9 are slidably connected to the side wall of the drive chamber 1 near the gear 8. The two racks 9 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the gear 8 and both mesh with the gear 8. The end of the rack 9 away from the gear 8 extends to the outside of the drive chamber 1 and is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 10. A receiving platform 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the drive chamber 1 away from the angle adjustment motor 4. Specifically, the angle adjustment motor 4 is started, and its output shaft drives the threaded rod 5 to rotate, thereby causing the slider 6 to move horizontally in the drive chamber 1. The connecting rod 7 between the slider 6 and the movable support 2 drives the movable support 2 to rotate around the connection point at the top of the drive chamber 1, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tilt angle of the roller 3. At the same time, when the threaded rod 5 rotates, the gear 8 coaxially connected to the output end of the threaded rod 5 meshes with the rack 9 symmetrically distributed in the drive chamber 1, so that the clamping plate 10 at the end of the rack 9 moves towards or away from the threaded rod 5 as the threaded rod 5 rotates. When the roller 3 tilts to discharge material, the clamping plate 10 will automatically clamp the receiving box on the receiving platform 11, and will automatically release when not tilted for picking up and putting away. Several rollers 12 are rotatably connected to the movable support 2. A roller drive motor 13 is provided at the free end of the movable support 2. The outer circumferential surface of the rollers 12 is in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the roller 3. The output end of the roller drive motor 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the roller 3. Specifically, when the roller drive motor 13 is started, the roller 3 begins to rotate, and the roller 12 rolls synchronously with the outer circumference of the roller 3. This not only disperses the gravitational load of the roller 3 to reduce the stress deformation of the movable support 2, but also reduces the resistance loss when the roller 3 rotates by replacing sliding friction with rolling friction, thus providing a stable guarantee for the tumbling and kneading of shrimp tails in the roller 3. A discharge port is provided at the end of the roller 3 away from the roller drive motor 13. A cover 14 is provided on the discharge port, and a vacuum tube 15 is connected to the cover 14. Specifically, during the tumbling process, the machine cover 14 is closed and sealed with the discharge port to prevent the material from being thrown out of the drum 3 during high-speed rotation. When tumbling is complete and discharge is required, the machine cover 14 is opened, and the shrimp tails in the drum 3 can be discharged from the discharge port along the inner wall of the drum 3 under the action of gravity, completing the unloading process. The vacuum tube 15 is connected to an external vacuum pump. After starting, it can extract the air in the drum 3, creating a negative pressure inside the drum 3. This vacuum environment can inhibit the oxidation reaction of the shrimp tails during the tumbling process, slowing down their deterioration and maintaining freshness. On the other hand, it can cause the intercellular spaces of the shrimp tails to expand due to the negative pressure, making it easier for the seasonings to penetrate into the shrimp tail tissue more quickly and deeply, improving the tumbling and flavoring effect.

[0015] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, open the cover 14 of the discharge port of the drum 3, pour the shrimp tails to be processed and the required seasonings into the drum 3, close the cover 14 and lock it to ensure a seal; connect the vacuum pump through the vacuum pipe 15 on the cover 14, start the vacuum pump to extract the air in the drum 3 to the set vacuum level, and close the vacuum valve to maintain the vacuum environment in the drum. Secondly, the roller drive motor 13 is started, and the roller 3 begins to rotate. The roller 12 rolls synchronously with the outer circumference of the roller 3, which not only disperses the gravity load of the roller 3 to reduce the stress deformation of the movable support 2, but also reduces the resistance loss when the roller 3 rotates by replacing sliding friction with rolling friction, thus providing a stable guarantee for the tumbling and kneading of shrimp tails in the roller 3. Finally, after the shrimp tail tumbling process is completed, the angle adjustment motor 4 is started. Its output shaft drives the threaded rod 5 to rotate, thereby causing the slider 6 to move horizontally within the drive chamber 1. The connecting rod 7 between the slider 6 and the movable support 2 drives the movable support 2 to rotate around the connection point at the top of the drive chamber 1, thus adjusting the tilt angle of the roller 3. At the same time, when the threaded rod 5 rotates, the gear 8 coaxially connected to the output end of the threaded rod 5 meshes with the racks 9 symmetrically distributed within the drive chamber 1, causing the clamping plate 10 at the end of the rack 9 to move in opposite directions as the threaded rod 5 rotates. When the roller 3 tilts to discharge material, the clamping plate 10 automatically clamps the receiving box on the receiving platform 11. After the material is discharged, the angle adjustment motor 4 is started in the opposite direction to reset the roller 3 to a horizontal state. The clamping plate 10 moves away from the rack 9 and releases the receiving box. The receiving box can then be removed to complete one processing cycle.

[0016] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
