[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, such as welding, riveting, or bonding; it can also be a detachable connection, such as threaded connection, keyed connection, or pin connection; or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1-4, the present invention proposes an automatic curing device for cured meat, including a base plate 1, which serves as a basic support. Two mounting blocks 2 are fixed to the top of the base plate 1 by bolts. These two mounting blocks 2 together support a horizontally arranged fixed cylinder 3. The front and back of the fixed cylinder 3 are open to facilitate the loading and unloading of materials and the installation and maintenance of the internal mechanism. A curing mechanism 4 is arranged inside the fixed cylinder 3.

[0023] In this embodiment, the main body of the marinating mechanism 4 is a rotatable marinating roller 41, which is used to hold the meat pieces to be marinated and the marinating material. In order to support the marinating roller 41 and make it rotate smoothly, two sets of support components 42 are provided inside the fixed cylinder 3.

[0024] Each set of support components 42 includes a fixing ring 421 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pickling drum 41. The fixing ring 421 has an annular support groove 422. On the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 3, corresponding to the position of each fixing ring 421, multiple support rollers 423 are installed. These support rollers 423 are precisely embedded in the support groove 422 and can roll in it. This structure transforms sliding friction into rolling friction, making the rotation of the pickling drum 41 more effortless and stable.

[0025] A drive assembly 43 is installed inside the fixed cylinder 3, which is mainly used to provide power for the rotation of the pickling drum 41.

[0026] The drive assembly 43 includes a mounting ring 431 installed at the rear end of the marinating drum 41. A toothed ring 432 is fixedly sleeved on the mounting ring 431. A motor base 433 is installed inside the lower part of the fixed cylinder 3. A geared motor 434 is fixed on the motor base 433. The output shaft of the geared motor 434 is connected to a gear 435 through a coupling. The gear 435 extends upward and meshes with the toothed ring 432.

[0027] When the geared motor 434 is working, the entire pickling drum 41 can be driven to rotate slowly under the action of the support assembly 42 through the meshing transmission of the gear 435 and the gear ring 432.

[0028] A pushing component 44 is provided at the center of the rear end of the marinating drum 41 to facilitate the removal of meat from inside the marinating drum 41.

[0029] The pushing assembly 44 includes an electric push rod 441 mounted on the rear end cover of the marinating drum 41. The push rod portion of the electric push rod 441 extends forward into the interior of the marinating drum 41, and its end is fitted with a push plate 442 that slides against the inner wall of the marinating drum 41. To ensure that the push plate 442 does not deflect during movement, two guide rods 443 are symmetrically mounted on the back of the push plate 442. These two guide rods 443 pass backward through the marinating drum 41 and slide against it.

[0030] When the marinating process is complete and it is time to discharge the meat, the electric push rod 441 is activated, pushing the push plate 442 forward, thereby pushing the meat in the cylinder out from the front.

[0031] The push plate 442 is slidably connected to the inner side of the marinating roller 41, ensuring that the push plate 442 can push all the meat in the marinating roller 41. At the same time, during the process of pushing the meat, the push plate 442 can also scrape away the marinating material attached to the inner wall of the marinating roller 41, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the marinating roller 41.

[0032] The front end of the marinating roller 41 is hinged to a front cover plate 45. Meat pieces to be marinated and marinade can be added into the marinating roller 41 through the front end of the marinating roller 41. After the addition is completed, the front end of the marinating roller 41 can be closed through the front cover plate 45.

[0033] A fixing assembly 46 is provided to ensure that the front cover 45 is tightly closed when the roller rotates.

[0034] The fixing component 46 includes a fixing block 461 installed on the outside of the marinating roller 41, and a connecting block 462 installed on the outside of the front cover plate 45 and corresponding to the position of the fixing block 461. The fixing block 461 has a threaded hole 463, and a threaded rod 464 is movably connected to the connecting block 462. The threaded rod 464 can be screwed into the threaded hole 463 of the fixing block 461. A knob 465 for easy manual rotation is installed at the front end of the threaded rod 464.

[0035] After closing the front cover plate 45, rotate the knob 465 to screw the threaded rod 464 into the threaded hole 463. The tightening force of the thread will firmly press the front cover plate 45 onto the front port of the pickling roller 41, achieving a reliable seal.

[0036] When the meat is marinated and needs to be discharged, the knob 465 needs to be turned in the opposite direction to disengage the threaded rod 464 from the threaded hole 463. At this time, the front cover 45 can be opened, and the electric push rod 441 can be activated to push the push plate 442 to discharge the marinated meat.

[0037] In addition, when discharging the marinated meat, a collection container, such as a collection frame or collection bucket, can be placed on top of the base plate 1, so that it corresponds to the front port of the marinating roller 41, so that the discharged meat can be collected.

[0038] In addition, a protective cover plate 5 is hinged to the rear end of the fixed cylinder 3 to cover and protect the drive assembly 43 and push assembly 44 at the rear. It also facilitates the maintenance or replacement of the geared motor 434 and electric push rod 441. A dustproof ventilation mesh 6 is also embedded in the protective cover plate 5 to ensure the heat dissipation and ventilation of the motor and other components, and to effectively prevent dust and debris from entering.

[0039] A PCL controller is installed on the top of the base plate 1. The geared motor 434 and the electric push rod 441 are electrically connected to the PCL controller. The geared motor 434 and the electric push rod 441 can be controlled through the PCL controller.

[0040] Working principle: When using this automatic cured meat marinating device, first loosen knob 465, open front cover 45, put meat and marinade into marinating drum 41, then close front cover 45 and lock it with fixing component 46, start reduction motor 434 to drive marinating drum 41 to rotate slowly, so that the meat inside keeps rolling and comes into full and even contact with marinade. After marinating is completed, stop reduction motor 434, open front cover 45, and then start electric push rod 441. Push plate 442 pushes the marinated meat out of the drum, completing the automatic discharge.

[0041] 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.
