Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tumbling devices, specifically a tumbling device for curing ham. Background Technology

[0002] The tumbling device used for ham curing is a food processing equipment based on the synergistic principle of "physical tumbling + curing liquid penetration". By simulating the "rubbing and massaging" actions in traditional ham curing, it achieves efficient mixing and deep penetration of ham raw materials and curing liquid (containing salt, spices, functional additives, etc.). At the same time, it shortens the curing cycle and improves the uniformity of ham flavor and the tenderness of the meat. Its core function is to replace manual operation and solve the pain points of "slow penetration, uneven flavoring, and high labor intensity" in traditional ham curing. It is suitable for large-scale ham production scenarios (such as different categories such as Chinese ham and Western ham).

[0003] In the existing technology, the tumbling device currently used for ham curing requires manual labor to directly enter the tumbling drum after the ham curing process is completed, or to use simple tools such as clamps and hooks to hook and move the ham pieces one by one. This results in frequent manual entry and exit from the tumbling drum. Due to the limited space inside the drum, the material retrieval speed is slow, which not only directly reduces the overall turnover efficiency of curing a single batch of ham, but also makes the material retrieval efficiency greatly affected by the operator's skill level and physical condition because of the reliance on manual operation, thus reducing the practicality of the tumbling device in the ham curing production line. Utility Model Content

[0009] According to the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the sealing assembly includes a sealing plate disposed on the side of the support frame away from the first driving assembly and a sealing gasket fixedly connected to the outside of the sealing plate. The sealing gasket is disposed on the support frame, and the second driving assembly is used to drive the sealing plate and the sealing gasket to open and close.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The first drive component drives the carrier frame to rotate via a rotating rod, which can flexibly adjust the tilt angle of the other end of the carrier frame, providing a reasonable discharge slope for the cured ham. At the same time, in conjunction with the start of the tumbling component, the movement of the tumbling component assists the ham in moving within the carrier frame, preventing the ham from lingering inside. This allows the cured ham to be discharged from the carrier frame more smoothly, effectively solving the problem of low efficiency caused by the need for manual entry into the cylinder or the use of simple tools to retrieve material in traditional tumbling devices. It significantly speeds up the discharge rate of a single batch of cured ham, improves the overall turnover efficiency of a single batch of cured ham, and greatly enhances the practicality of the tumbling device in the ham curing production line.

[0015] 2. By rotatably connecting the tumbling drum body to the support frame, and further strengthening the rotatable connection with the support frame on the outside through a fixed frame, the stability and reliability of the tumbling drum body during rotation are ensured, avoiding shaking or deviation; the motor provides a stable power source for the tumbling drum body, and by directly fixing it to the tumbling drum body, power transmission loss is reduced, allowing the tumbling drum body to maintain a stable speed as needed, meeting the tumbling and curing process requirements of different hams; the tumbling strips are fixed to the inner wall of the tumbling drum body. When the tumbling drum body rotates, the tumbling strips can fully stir and knead the ham inside the drum, simulating the massage action during traditional manual curing, promoting the uniform penetration of the curing liquid inside the ham, shortening the curing time, and improving the curing flavor and taste of the ham.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment: a tumbling device for curing ham, including a support frame 1, a rotating rod 28 rotatably connected to the support frame 1, a bearing frame 29 fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating rod 28, a tumbling assembly disposed on the bearing frame 29, a first driving assembly disposed on one side of the bearing frame 29, a sealing assembly disposed on the other side of the bearing frame 29, and a second driving assembly disposed on the sealing assembly. The first driving assembly is used to drive the bearing frame 29 to rotate and tilt via the rotating rod 28, and the sealing assembly is used to open and close one side of the bearing frame 29. The first driving assembly drives the bearing frame 29 to rotate and tilt via the rotating rod 28. The rotating mechanism allows for flexible adjustment of the tilt angle at the other end of the support frame 29, providing a reasonable discharge slope for the cured ham. Simultaneously, the activation of the tumbling assembly assists the ham in moving within the support frame 29, preventing it from becoming stagnant and allowing for smoother discharge of the cured ham. This effectively solves the inefficiency problem of traditional tumbling devices requiring manual insertion into the cylinder or the use of simple tools for material removal. It significantly accelerates the discharge speed of a single batch of cured ham, improves the overall turnover efficiency of a single batch of cured ham, and greatly enhances the practicality of the tumbling device in the ham curing production line.

[0024] Please see Figure 3A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: The first driving component includes a fixed ear 21 fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 29, a light rod 22 fixedly connected to the fixed ear 21, a second rotating block 27 rotatably connected to the light rod 22, a fixed seat 24 fixedly connected to the support frame 1 on the same side as the fixed ear 21, a first rotating block 25 rotatably connected to the fixed seat 24, and a first hydraulic telescopic rod 26 fixedly connected between the first rotating block 25 and the second rotating block 27. The fixed ear 21 stably connects the first driving component to the support frame 29, ensuring that the driving force can be effectively transmitted to the support frame 29; the light rod 2... The rotational engagement between the first hydraulic telescopic rod 26 and the second rotating block 27, as well as the rotational engagement between the fixed base 24 and the first rotating block 25, provides flexible rotational space for the extension and retraction of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 26, avoiding jamming or damage caused by rigid connections between components. As a power output component, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 26 can provide stable and adjustable thrust or pull force, precisely controlling the tilting of the bearing frame 29 at different angles through the rotating rod 28. This not only meets the position requirements of the bearing frame 29 during the ham curing process, but also helps the ham to be discharged smoothly through a suitable tilting angle, improving the stability and accuracy of the driving process.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: two sets of limiting disks 23 are provided, and the two sets of limiting disks 23 are symmetrically distributed on the outer side of the second rotating block 27. By symmetrically providing two sets of limiting disks 23 on the outer side of the second rotating block 27, the position of the second rotating block 27 on the light rod 22 can be effectively limited, preventing the second rotating block 27 from axially shifting during rotation or movement with the light rod 22. This ensures that the second rotating block 27 is always in the correct position that matches the first hydraulic telescopic rod 26 and the fixed ear 21, avoiding the first drive component's power transmission being obstructed due to the second rotating block 27 shifting, or even affecting the normal tilting action of the bearing frame 29, further ensuring the overall stability and reliability of the first drive component's operation.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: two sets of first driving components are provided, and the two sets of first driving components are symmetrically distributed on the same side of the support frame 29. By symmetrically arranging two sets of first driving components on the same side of the support frame 29, symmetrical and balanced driving force can be provided to the support frame 29, avoiding swaying, jamming or tilting of the support frame 29 during rotation due to uneven force on one side, and ensuring that the support frame 29 always maintains a stable movement state; the two sets of driving components work together to enhance the overall driving force, and even if a lot of ham is loaded in the support frame 29, rotation and tilting can be easily achieved, improving the device's adaptability to different loads of ham, while reducing the load on a single set of driving components and extending its service life.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the sealing assembly includes a sealing plate 39 disposed on the side of the support frame 29 away from the first driving assembly and a sealing gasket 310 fixedly connected to the outside of the sealing plate 39. The sealing gasket 310 is disposed on the support frame 29. The second driving assembly is used to drive the sealing plate 39 and the sealing gasket 310 to open and close. By disposing of the sealing assembly on the side of the support frame 29 away from the first driving assembly, the sealing energy can effectively control the opening and closing of the support frame 29, meeting the closed environment requirements during ham curing and the open requirements during material discharge. The sealing gasket 310 can fill the gap between the sealing plate 39 and the support frame 29 when the sealing plate 39 is closed, greatly improving the sealing performance of the support frame 29, preventing leakage of curing liquid during curing, avoiding waste of raw materials and environmental pollution, while ensuring the stability of the curing environment inside the support frame 29, helping the ham to be cured evenly, and improving the curing quality of the ham.

[0028] Please see Figure 5 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the support frame 29 has through grooves at corresponding positions of the sealing plate 39 and the sealing gasket 310. The sealing plate 39 and the sealing gasket 310 are set at the through grooves of the support frame 29. By opening through grooves at positions corresponding to the sealing plate 39 and the sealing gasket 310 on the support frame 29, a precise installation and working position is provided for the sealing plate 39 and the sealing gasket 310, ensuring that the sealing plate 39 can accurately cover the through groove when closed, and the sealing gasket 310 can tightly fit the edge of the through groove, further enhancing the sealing performance of the support frame 29. The setting of the through groove also clarifies the inlet and outlet channels of the ham. When discharging, after opening the sealing plate 39, the ham can be directly discharged through the through groove, improving the discharge efficiency and the integrity of the ham.

[0029] Please see Figure 4A further embodiment of this solution is as follows: The second drive assembly includes a first support 31, a second support 35, and a third support 37 fixedly connected to one side of the bearing frame 29 and the sealing plate 39; a third rotating block 32 rotatably connected to the first support 31; a first movable bracket 36 rotatably connected to the second support 35; a fourth rotating block 34 rotatably connected to the first movable bracket 36; a second hydraulic telescopic rod 33 fixedly connected between the fourth rotating block 34 and the third rotating block 32; and a second movable bracket 38 rotatably connected to the third support 37. The first movable bracket 36 is rotatably connected to the second movable bracket 38, the first movable bracket 36 is rotatably connected to the sealing plate 39, and the second movable bracket 38 is rotatably connected to the sealing plate 39. The first support 31, the second support 35, and the third support 37 provide power to the various components of the second drive assembly. A stable installation foundation ensures that the positions of each component are fixed during operation, avoiding deviations in drive action due to unstable support. The rotational engagement of the third rotating block 32 with the first support base 31, the rotational engagement of the first movable bracket 36 with the second support base 35, the rotational engagement of the fourth rotating block 34 with the first movable bracket 36, and the rotational connection of the first movable bracket 36, the second movable bracket 38, and the sealing plate 39 form multiple sets of flexible rotational nodes. This provides a reasonable transmission path for converting the extension and retraction of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 33 into the opening and closing of the sealing plate 39, making the opening and closing process of the sealing plate 39 smooth and stable. The second hydraulic telescopic rod 33 can provide reliable driving force and precisely control the opening and closing degree and speed of the sealing plate 39, ensuring that the sealing plate 39 is tightly closed during pickling and can be quickly opened during material discharge, improving the ease of operation and operational stability of the sealing assembly.

[0030] Please see Figure 5A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the tumbling assembly includes a tumbling drum body 42 rotatably connected to the support frame 29, a fixing frame 43 fixedly connected to the outside of the tumbling drum body 42, a motor 41 fixedly connected to the support frame 29 on the same side as the first drive assembly, and tumbling strips 44 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tumbling drum body 42. The fixing frame 43 is rotatably connected to the support frame 29, and the tumbling drum body 42 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 41. By rotatably connecting the tumbling drum body 42 to the support frame 29, and further strengthening the rotatable connection with the support frame 29 through the fixing frame 43, it is ensured that the tumbling drum body 42 rotates... The operation is stable and reliable, avoiding shaking or deviation; the motor 41 provides a stable power source for the tumbling drum body 42. By being directly and fixedly connected to the tumbling drum body 42, the power transmission loss is reduced, allowing the tumbling drum body 42 to maintain a stable speed as needed, meeting the tumbling and curing process requirements of different hams; the tumbling strips 44 are fixed to the inner wall of the tumbling drum body 42. When the tumbling drum body 42 rotates, the tumbling strips 44 can fully stir and knead the ham inside the drum, simulating the massage action during traditional manual curing, promoting the uniform penetration of the curing liquid inside the ham, shortening the curing time, and improving the curing flavor and taste of the ham.

[0031] Working principle: First, the second drive assembly drives the sealing plate 39 and sealing gasket 310 in the sealing assembly to open. The second hydraulic telescopic rod 33 of the second drive assembly extends and retracts. With the help of the rotation of the third rotating block 32 and the fourth rotating block 34, and the rotation of the first movable bracket 36 and the second movable bracket 38 in conjunction with the rotation of the second support seat 35, the third support seat 37 and the sealing plate 39 respectively, the sealing plate 39 is driven away from the through groove on the carrier frame 29, so that the through groove is in an open state, so that the ham to be cured can be placed into the tumbling drum body 42 of the tumbling assembly through the through groove. After the ham is placed in, the second drive assembly moves in the opposite direction, pushing the sealing plate 39 and sealing gasket 310 to close. The sealing gasket 310 fills the gap between the sealing plate 39 and the carrier frame 29, ensuring the airtightness of the carrier frame 29 and providing a closed environment for curing the ham. Then the tumbling assembly is started. The motor 41 outputs power to drive the tumbling drum body 42 to rotate. The fixing frame 43 on the outside of the tumbling drum body 42 assists it to rotate stably on the bearing frame 29. At the same time, the tumbling strips 44 on the inner wall of the tumbling drum body 42 rotate with the drum body to fully stir and knead the ham inside the drum, promote the uniform penetration of the curing liquid inside the ham, and realize the tumbling curing of the ham. After the ham is cured, the sealing plate 39 is opened again by the second drive component, and the first drive component is activated at the same time: the first hydraulic telescopic rod 26 of the first drive component extends and retracts, and the rotational cooperation of the first rotating block 25 and the fixed seat 24, the second rotating block 27 and the smooth rod 22, and the fixed connection of the fixed ear 21 and the support frame 29 drive the support frame 29 to rotate and tilt on the support frame 1 through the rotating rod 28. At this time, the tumbling component continues to operate, and the rotation of the tumbling cylinder body 42 and the tumbling strip 44 assists the ham to move in the support frame 29, so that the cured ham can be smoothly discharged through the channel, and finally complete the whole process of the ham from putting in, curing to discharge.
