[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] A pickling processing apparatus includes a box 1 with a sealing lid to create a sealed space to prevent external gas from entering. A square vertical tube 2 is located at the center of the bottom of the box 1. A through hole 3 is located at the bottom of the side wall of the vertical tube 2. Sealing seats I4 and II5 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the vertical tube 2. Sealing seats I4 and II5 are connected by a vertical rod 6. Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the top of the sealing seat II5 is located between the upper and lower sides of the through hole 3. The size of the sealing seat I4 and sealing seat II5 is adapted to the size of the internal opening of the vertical pipe 2, and the diameter of the vertical rod 6 is smaller than the inner diameter of the vertical pipe 2. Therefore, when the sealing seat II5 is in its original position, if there is liquid on its top, it can flow along its top slope to the through hole 3 and be discharged. At the same time, both the sealing seat I4 and sealing seat II5 are attached to the inner wall of the vertical pipe 2, so that there is no gap between the inner wall of the vertical pipe 2 and the above two for accommodating the flow of gas or liquid.

[0021] The top of the sealing seat I4 is connected to the orifice plate 7 above the vertical pipe 2. The box body 1 is provided with a surrounding edge 8 that is sleeved on the orifice plate 7. The bottom of the surrounding edge 8 is provided with a truncated quadrangular guide bucket 9 for the vertical pipe 2 to pass through. In this embodiment, the orifice plate 7, the surrounding edge 8 and the guide bucket 9 are integrally set together. The size of the surrounding edge 8 is adapted to the size of the internal opening of the box body 1. The size of the vertical pipe 2 is adapted to the size of the inner diameter of the bottom opening of the guide bucket 9. That is to say, the outer wall of the vertical pipe 2 is attached to the inner wall of the bottom opening of the guide bucket 9, and the side wall of the surrounding edge 8 is attached to the inner wall of the box body 1, so that there is no gap for accommodating the flow of gas or liquid between the inner wall of the vertical pipe 2 and the inner wall of the bottom opening of the guide bucket 9, and between the surrounding edge 8 and the inner wall of the box body 1.

[0022] A support plate 10 is provided inside the box 1 below the flow guide hopper 9. An annular airbag 11 connected to the bottom of the flow guide hopper 9 is provided on the top of the support plate 10. The vertical pipe 2 passes through the opening in the middle of the airbag 11. The airbag 11 is connected to the bottom of the box 1 through the circulation pipe 12. The upper and lower ends of the airbag 11 are respectively bonded and fixed to the bottom of the flow guide hopper 9 and the top of the support plate 10. An air inlet pipe connected to the airbag 11 is provided on the outside of the box 1. A valve is provided on the air inlet pipe.

[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a protrusion 13 is provided at the top of the airbag 11, and a magnetic suction part 14 corresponding to the protrusion 13 is provided at the bottom of the airbag 11.

[0024] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the top two sides of the sealing seat I4 are respectively provided with receiving notches 15 located above the vertical pipe 2 and with a cross-section of right trapezoid. The inclined end of the receiving notch 15 is located at the bottom. A sealing plate 16 is provided in the receiving notch 15 and is closely attached to the bottom end surface of the orifice plate 7. The bottom end surface of the sealing plate 16 is attached to the top end of the vertical pipe 2. The side wall of the orifice plate 7 outside the sealing plate 16 is a solid structure. The end of the sealing plate 16 in the receiving notch 15 is provided with a rotating shaft 17 embedded in the side wall of the rim 8. A protrusion 18 corresponding to the sealing plate 16 is provided on the top surface of the guide bucket 9.

[0025] Method of using the present invention: as follows Figure 1 As shown, the airbag 11 is in the deflated state. At the same time, under the influence of the gravity of the vegetables above the perforated plate 7 and the components such as the perforated plate 7, the surrounding edge 8, the guide bucket 9, the protrusion 13, the sealing seat I4 and the sealing seat II5, the gravity of the above components squeezes the sealing plate 16 so that it is tightly attached to the top of the vertical tube 2. This makes the vertical tube 2 seal the holes in the middle area of the perforated plate 7, so that the vegetables or salt and other substances above the perforated plate 7 will not fall through the holes of the perforated plate 7. At this time, the vertical tube 2 is sealed by the sealing seat I4, and the gap between the vertical tube 2 and the side wall of the box 1 is sealed by the surrounding edge 8 and the guide bucket 9, so as to prevent the gas or liquid from flowing between the upper and lower sides of the above components in the box 1. Then, after the vegetables and salt are laid in the box 1 above the perforated plate 7, the pickling work can be carried out.

[0026] When it is necessary to drain the water generated during the pickling process above the perforated plate 7 after a period of use, air is injected into the airbag 11 through the air pump and the open air inlet pipe to expand it. The pulling force generated by the expansion of the airbag 11 will force the metal protrusion 13 to separate from the magnetic part 14 and lift the guide bucket 9, so that the opening in the middle of the guide bucket 9 slides upward on the vertical tube 2. The guide bucket 9 also drives the perforated plate 7 and other components to move upward through the surrounding edge 8. The perforated plate 7 drives the sealing seat I4, vertical rod 6 and sealing seat II5 and other components to move upward in the vertical tube 2. It should be noted that when the sealing seat I4, vertical rod 6 and sealing seat II5 are together in the vertical tube 2... When the sealing seat II5 moves upward, when the top of the sealing seat II5 is displaced into the vertical pipe above the through hole 3, the bottom of the sealing seat I4 is still located inside the vertical pipe 2. This prevents the gas on both sides of the guide bucket 9 from flowing through the internal opening of the vertical pipe 2 and the through hole 3 during the above adjustment process. When the surrounding edge 8 moves upward, it will drive one end of the sealing plate 16 containing the notch 15 to move upward simultaneously via the rotating shaft 17. When the end of the sealing plate 16 inside the notch 15 moves upward and separates from the top of the vertical pipe 2, it loses the support of the vertical pipe 2 and is pulled by the gravity of the suspended end of the sealing plate 16, causing the sealing plate 16 to rotate downward around the rotating shaft 17 as the center, and finally supported by the protrusion 18. Figure 2 As shown, sealing seat I4 slides upward from inside the vertical tube 2, sealing seat II5 is located inside the vertical tube 2 above the through hole 3, sealing plate 16 is tilted downward to open the orifice diameter in the middle of the orifice plate 7, and the top of the vertical tube 2 is flush with the bottom of the guide bucket 9.

[0027] At this time, the liquid produced by pickling in the vegetables above the perforated plate 7 can drain through the holes of the perforated plate 7 onto the sealing plate 16, and then flow along its top surface into the guide hopper 9 inside the perimeter 8. At the same time, the upward thrust of the perforated plate 7 can exert a certain squeezing effect on the vegetables above it. At this time, the sealing cover is fixedly connected to the box body 1, or is squeezed and fixed by other equipment, so that the sealing cover will not be pushed up by the vegetables and separated from the box body 1. During the pressure process, the liquid in the vegetables can quickly seep out and drain through the perforated plate 7. Finally, the liquid flows into the top of the guide hopper 9 and into the vertical pipe 2 that is opened at this time, and finally accumulates in the vertical pipe 2 above the sealing seat II5. After the liquid in the vegetables above the perforated plate 7 has drained out, the side wall of the box body 1 and the airbag 1 can be opened. The exhaust pipe connected to 1 releases air. At this point, without the support of the airbag, and under the pressure of the vegetables above the perforated plate 7, as well as the gravity of the perforated plate 7, the surrounding edge 8, the guide bucket 9, the sealing seat I4, and the sealing seat II5, the surrounding edge 8 moves downward within the housing 1, the opening in the middle of the guide bucket 9 slides downward on the vertical pipe 2, the sealing seat I4 slides into the vertical pipe 2, and the sealing seat II5 slides downward within the vertical pipe 2. When the bottom end of the sealing seat I4 slides into the vertical pipe 2, the top end of the sealing seat II5 is still located in the vertical pipe 2 above the through hole 3. This prevents gas from flowing through the opening inside the vertical pipe 2 and the through hole 3 on both sides of the guide bucket 9 during the above adjustment process. When all components are reset, as... Figure 1 As shown, the liquid accumulated in the vertical pipe 2 can flow out through the through hole 3 into the box 1 below the guide bucket 9 and be discharged through the open drain pipe. Of course, the gas in the airbag 11 can also be introduced into the inner wall of the box 1 below the guide bucket 9 through the open circulation pipe 12 during the above process, so as to dry the water stains or water vapor on its side wall. The introduced gas is discharged through the drain pipe or the exhaust pipe at the bottom of the box 1.

[0028] The present invention has been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
