Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plum pickling technology, specifically a pickling device for plums that can be turned over. Background Technology

[0002] As a popular fruit, green plums have a variety of applications in the food processing industry. Among them, pickling green plums is a common and important processing method that can produce pickled green plum products with unique flavors.

[0003] Traditional plum pickling equipment is a common tool used for pickling plums. Due to its relatively simple and fixed design, the plums remain largely unchanged in position and state within the pickling solution during the pickling process, which presents several significant drawbacks. For example, the pickling solution cannot penetrate each plum evenly, resulting in uneven pickling. Some plums are over-pickled while others are under-pickled, affecting the quality and consistency of the final product. Furthermore, after a period of pickling, the plums need to be manually turned over, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient but also prone to damaging the plums during this process, increasing the defect rate.

[0004] In order to overcome the problems of these traditional pickling devices, a pickling device for green plums that can be turned over is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0033] Please see Figure 1-5 A tiltable plum pickling device includes a housing 1, which is square in shape and has a pickling trough 101 at the top. Electric telescopic rods 2 are installed at each of the four corners of the housing 1. The four electric telescopic rods 2 are fixedly connected to a mounting frame 3 and are pushed to move synchronously up and down. A pickling box 4 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 3. A drive mechanism 5 for rotating the pickling box 4 is also installed on the mounting frame 3 on one side of the pickling box 4. The pickling trough 101 is larger than the pickling box 4. The mounting frame 3 includes two kits 301 and two connecting rods 302. The two ends of the connecting rods 302 are fixed to the kits 301, and the connection structure between the two connecting rods 302 and the kits 301 is V-shaped. The pickling box 4 includes a box body 401 and round shafts 403 fixedly installed at both ends of the outer side of the box body 401. The kits 301 are fitted onto the round shafts 403.

[0034] In this embodiment, a vertical guide rail 102 is also provided on one opposite side of the housing 1, and the round shaft 403 slides on the guide rail 102 on the corresponding side.

[0035] It should be noted that the guide rail 102 serves to guide and limit the lifting and lowering of the circular shaft 403, ensuring that the mounting frame 3 and the pickling box 4 can move up and down smoothly and accurately under the push of the electric telescopic rod 2, avoiding deviation or shaking, ensuring the stability of the entire device, and thus ensuring the smooth progress of the plum pickling process.

[0036] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 5 includes a motor 501, a first gear 502 and a second gear 503 that mesh with each other, the second gear 503 is fixed to the end of a round shaft 403, and the first gear 502 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 501.

[0037] It should be noted that the motor 501, as the power source, transmits power to the round shaft 403, which is fixedly connected to the second gear 503, through the meshing transmission of the first gear 502 and the second gear 503, thereby driving the pickling box 4 to rotate. This gear transmission method has the characteristics of smooth and precise transmission, which can accurately control the rotation speed and angle of the pickling box 4, realize the uniform turning of the plums, and improve the pickling effect.

[0038] In this embodiment, a crossbar 303 is welded to one side of both connecting rods 302, and a rotating shaft 5021 that is inserted into the crossbar 303 is provided on the side of the first gear 502 near the pickling box 4.

[0039] It should be noted that the crossbar 303 provides a mounting support point for the rotating shaft 5021 of the first gear 502. The insertion connection between the rotating shaft 5021 and the crossbar 303 ensures the stable rotation of the first gear 502 and facilitates the installation and disassembly of the entire drive mechanism 5. Simultaneously, this structure makes the connection between the drive mechanism 5 and the mounting bracket 3 more robust, enabling it to withstand certain forces during the rotation of the pickling box 4 and ensuring the reliability of the device.

[0040] In this embodiment, a protective bracket 304 is also fixed on the two connecting rods 302 located on one side of the crossbar 303, and the non-output end of the motor 501 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the protective bracket 304.

[0041] It should be noted that the main function of the protective bracket 304 is to protect the motor 501 from collisions or interference from external objects during the operation of the device. At the same time, fixing the motor 501 inside the protective bracket 304 makes the entire drive mechanism 5 more compact, reduces the space occupied, and facilitates the maintenance and repair of the motor 501, thereby improving the service life of the device.

[0042] It should be further explained that, at the same time, the protective bracket 304 is fixed on the mounting frame 3. When the electric telescopic rod 2 drives the mounting frame 3 to move, it simultaneously drives the drive mechanism 5 to move synchronously with the pickling box 4, which facilitates the subsequent flipping of the pickling box 4.

[0043] In this embodiment, two sets of buffer components 6 are also provided at the bottom of the pickling tank 101. The two buffer components 6 are located on two different sides of the axis of the circular shaft 403 of the pickling box 4.

[0044] It should be noted that during the lifting and lowering of the marinating box 4, the buffer component 6 can play a role in cushioning and shock absorption. When the marinating box 4 descends to the bottom of the marinating tank 101, the buffer component 6 can absorb some of the impact force, preventing the marinating box 4 from colliding violently with the bottom of the marinating tank 101, and protecting the marinating box 4 and other parts of the device from damage.

[0045] It should be further explained that, since the marinating box 4 and the mounting frame 3 are in a rotating sleeve relationship, the structure of the marinating box 4 located on both sides of the rotation axis is the most unstable. At the same time, the two sets of buffer components 6 are located on both sides of the axis of the circular shaft 403, which can ensure the uniformity of the buffering effect and make the marinating box 4 stable.

[0046] In this embodiment, each buffer assembly 6 includes a buffer disk 601 and a spring 602. The upper end of the spring 602 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the buffer disk 601, and the lower end is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the housing 1.

[0047] It should be noted that the buffer disc 601 increases the contact area with the marinating box 4, which can more evenly distribute the impact force and reduce the damage to the marinating box 4 caused by excessive local pressure. The spring 602 utilizes its elastic properties to deform under pressure, absorb energy, and return to its original shape when the pressure is removed, thereby achieving the function of buffering and shock absorption. This buffer component 6 has a simple structure, low cost, and good buffering effect.

[0048] In this embodiment, an end block 404 is provided at the end of the round shaft 403 on the side away from the drive mechanism 5, and a rotatable cover plate 402 is provided at the front end of the housing 401.

[0049] It should be noted that the end block 404 prevents the round shaft 403 from sliding off the guide rail 102 during the sliding process, thus serving as a limit and protection. The rotatable cover 402 facilitates the placement of plums into the pickling box 4, and at the same time, it can seal the pickling box 4 during the pickling process to prevent the pickling liquid from splashing out, ensuring a stable pickling environment and helping to maintain the hygiene of the pickled plums.

[0050] In summary, this movable plum pickling device uses an electric telescopic rod 2 to lift and lower the mounting frame 3 and the pickling box 4, and a drive mechanism 5 to drive the pickling box 4 to rotate, so as to realize the automatic turning of plums during the pickling process, so that the pickling liquid can penetrate evenly, solving the problem of uneven pickling in traditional devices, and effectively improving the quality and consistency of the pickled plums.

[0051] This movable plum pickling device automatically turns the plums mechanically, replacing manual operation, reducing labor intensity, improving pickling efficiency, avoiding damage to the plums caused by manual turning, reducing the defect rate, and bringing higher economic benefits to plum pickling and processing.

[0052] Working Principle: In use, first open the front cover 402 of the pickling box 4, place the plums inside, and close it. Start the electric telescopic rod 2, which pushes the mounting frame 3 upwards. Because the mounting frame 3 assembly 301 is connected to the round shaft 403 of the pickling box 4, and the round shaft 403 slides on the guide rail 102, the pickling box 4 rises away from the pickling tank 101. Next, start the motor 501, which drives the first gear 502 to rotate. Through meshing with the second gear 503, the round shaft 403 drives the pickling box 4 to rotate, causing the plums to turn inside and allowing the pickling liquid to penetrate evenly. After pickling for a period of time, start the electric telescopic rod 2 again, causing the mounting frame 3 and the pickling box 4 to descend. During descent, the buffer assembly 6 at the bottom of the pickling tank 101 functions. The buffer disc 601 first contacts the pickling box 4, and the spring 602 deforms to absorb the impact, allowing the pickling box 4 to fall smoothly back into the pickling tank 101. The entire process achieves automatic turning, improving the pickling effect and economic efficiency.

[0053] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
