Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cured meat processing technology, and in particular to a cured meat coating mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] When processing cured pork, it is difficult to infuse the pork surface with flavor, which reduces the quality of the cured pork and wastes production resources and costs.

[0003] According to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN223053852U, a cured meat seasoning mechanism is proposed. The mechanism controls the operation of a drive motor, which drives a roller to rotate via a first drive rod. The roller then punches holes in the cured meat conveyed by the electric conveyor belt. Through the evenly spaced discharge holes at the bottom of the seasoning box, the seasonings in the seasoning box are evenly discharged onto the surface of the perforated cured meat on the electric conveyor belt, thus achieving the seasoning operation. While the first drive rod drives the roller to rotate, it also drives the first pulley to rotate. The second pulley then drives the second drive rod and the control board to rotate, thereby automatically controlling the opening and closing of the discharge holes at the bottom of the seasoning box.

[0004] According to the existing technology, although it is possible to apply the coating to the surface of the cured meat, the bottom of the cured meat cannot contact the discharge hole during the transport of the cured meat, so it is not possible to apply the coating to the cured meat from all angles. Therefore, a cured meat coating mechanism is proposed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Purpose of the utility model To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a cured meat coating mechanism, which has the advantages of more even coating of meat pieces.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution This utility model provides a bacon-spreading mechanism, including a conveyor belt, a U-shaped frame at the top of the conveyor belt, an L-shaped plate installed on the right side of the U-shaped frame, a supporting mechanism on the right side of the conveyor belt, and a spreading mechanism inside the L-shaped plate.

[0007] The bearing mechanism includes two fixed plates installed on the right side of the conveyor belt. A stepper motor is installed on the front of the fixed plate. A drive roller is rotatably connected between the opposite sides of the two fixed plates. The output shaft of the stepper motor is connected to the drive roller. A blocking component is provided on the inner side of the L-shaped plate. A guide plate is installed at the bottom of the conveyor belt.

[0008] Preferably, the blocking assembly includes a first electric push rod installed on the right side of the L-shaped plate and extending therein. A baffle is installed on the piston rod of the first electric push rod. Two ear plates are installed on the left side of the baffle. A limiting roller is rotatably connected between the two ear plates on opposite sides. The limiting roller corresponds to the drive roller. Two first guide rods extending to the right side of the L-shaped plate are installed on the right side of the baffle. Both first guide rods are slidably connected to the L-shaped plate.

[0009] Preferably, the coating mechanism includes a lifting plate located inside the L-shaped plate, a lifting assembly is provided on the top of the L-shaped plate, the lifting assembly is connected to the lifting plate and is used to drive the lifting plate to move up and down, a material holding box is installed at the bottom of the lifting plate, a material feeding funnel is connected to the bottom of the material holding box, and a coating roller is rotatably connected inside the material feeding funnel.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a second electric push rod installed on the top of the L-shaped plate and extending therein, the piston rod of the second electric push rod being connected to the top of the lifting plate, and two second guide rods extending to the top of the L-shaped plate being installed on the top of the lifting plate, both of the second guide rods being slidably connected to the L-shaped plate.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the material container is provided with a feeding hole, and the inside of the feeding hole is hinged to a cover plate.

[0012] Preferably, the drive roller is located below the right side of the conveyor belt.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects: This cured meat marinating mechanism, through the setting of a carrying mechanism and a coating mechanism, ensures that the meat pieces can roll at a uniform speed and smoothly during the coating process, so that all surfaces of the meat can fully contact the coating roller.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a bacon coating mechanism, which includes a conveyor belt 1, a U-shaped frame 2, an L-shaped plate 3, a bearing mechanism 4, and a coating mechanism 5.

[0023] Conveyor belt 1 is used to horizontally transport the cured meat blocks to be coated with marinade. U-shaped frame 2 is fixedly installed on the top of conveyor belt 1. Its structure spans above conveyor belt 1, providing a stable upper support and operating space for subsequent coating operations. L-shaped plate 3 is fixedly installed on the right side of U-shaped frame 2. Its vertical part is located on the side of conveyor belt 1, and its horizontal part extends upwards from conveyor belt 1, forming the basis for installing other functional components.

[0024] Example 1, as Figure 2-3 As shown, the carrying mechanism 4 is located on the right side of the conveyor belt 1. Its main function is to receive the meat pieces sent from the conveyor belt 1 and to position and carry them during the slurry process.

[0025] The supporting mechanism 4 includes two fixed plates 41, a stepper motor 42, a drive roller 43, a blocking assembly 44, and a guide sloping plate 45.

[0026] Two fixed plates 41 are parallel and fixedly installed on the right side of the conveyor belt 1 frame. The drive roller 43 is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 41 on opposite sides through bearings. Its axis is perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt 1. The stepper motor 42 is fixedly installed on the front of the fixed plate 41 located in front. Its output shaft is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the drive roller 43 through a coupling, so that the rotation of the drive roller 43 can be precisely controlled. After the conveyor belt 1 transports the meat piece to its end, the meat piece falls onto the drive roller 43 under inertia or subsequent pushing.

[0027] The guide plate 45 is fixedly installed on the bottom frame of the conveyor belt 1, located below the drive roller 43, with its inclined surface facing the preset collection area, for receiving and guiding any excess marinade that may drip.

[0028] The blocking component 44 is integrated on the L-shaped plate 3. Its function is to support and block the right side of the meat piece. The blocking component 44 includes a first electric push rod 441, a baffle 442, two ear plates 443, a limiting roller 444, and two first guide rods 445.

[0029] The first electric push rod 441 is fixedly installed on the right side wall of the L-shaped plate 3. Its piston rod passes horizontally to the left through the L-shaped plate 3 and extends into it. The baffle 442 is fixedly installed at the end of the piston rod of the first electric push rod 441. Two ear plates 443 are symmetrically fixed on the left side of the baffle 442. The limiting roller 444 is rotatably connected between the two ear plates 443 through a bearing. Two first guide rods 445 are symmetrically fixed on the right side of the baffle 442 and pass horizontally to the right through the L-shaped plate 3, and are slidably connected with the guide hole on the L-shaped plate 3.

[0030] When the conveyor belt 1 is transporting the meat pieces, the first electric push rod 441 can extend, causing the baffle 442 and the limiting roller 444 to move to the left. This makes the distance between the drive roller 43 and the limiting roller 444 smaller than the meat pieces, allowing the meat pieces to fall stably to the top between the drive roller 43 and the limiting roller 444, preventing the meat pieces from falling directly. At this time, the stepper motor 42 is started, and the output shaft of the stepper motor 42 will drive the drive roller 43 to rotate, thereby causing the meat pieces on it to tumble, making it convenient to coat the meat pieces from all directions.

[0031] After the coating is completed, the first electric push rod 441 is activated in reverse. The first electric push rod 441 retracts, and the limiting roller 444 moves to the right. When the distance between the drive roller 43 and the limiting roller 444 is greater than the meat block, the meat block will fall through the channel between the drive roller 43 and the limiting roller 444 on the opposite side and fall onto the guide plate 45. At this time, the coating of one meat block is completed. The above operation can be repeated before the next meat block falls onto the drive roller 43.

[0032] When using it, the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 1 needs to be controlled to ensure that only one piece of meat falls onto the drive roller 43 each time it is applied. The rotation direction of the drive roller 43 is opposite to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1, so that the meat can be stably flipped above the drive roller 43.

[0033] Example 2, as Figure 4 As shown, the coating mechanism 5 is located below the horizontal portion of the L-shaped plate 3, and its task is to store the marinade and coat it evenly on the surface of the meat block located on the drive roller 43.

[0034] The coating mechanism 5 includes a lifting plate 51, a lifting component 52, a material holding box 53, a material feeding funnel 54, and a coating roller 55.

[0035] The lifting plate 51 is horizontally set inside the L-shaped plate 3. The lifting assembly 52 is installed on the top of the L-shaped plate 3 to control the lifting of the lifting plate 51. The holding box 53 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 51 and is used to store paste or sauce-like marinade. The feeding funnel 54 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the holding box 53 and has an opening at the bottom. The spreading roller 55 is rotatably connected to the inside of the feeding funnel 54 through a bearing, and part of its roller surface is exposed from the bottom opening of the feeding funnel 54.

[0036] The marinade in the container 53 flows into the feeding funnel 54 under gravity and adheres to the surface of the coating roller 55. The height of the entire coating mechanism 5 is adjusted by the lifting component 52 so that the coating roller 55 contacts the surface of the meat with appropriate pressure. When the drive roller 43 drives the meat to roll, the coating roller 55 in contact with the surface of the meat rotates accordingly, thereby continuously and evenly coating the surface of the meat with marinade.

[0037] To facilitate material feeding, a feed hole is provided on the top of the material container 53, and a cover plate is hinged to it. The cover plate is opened when feeding and closed at other times to prevent contamination.

[0038] The lifting assembly 52 is the power unit of the coating mechanism 5, used to precisely control the contact pressure between the coating roller 55 and the meat block.

[0039] The lifting assembly 52 includes a second electric push rod 521 and two second guide rods 522.

[0040] The second electric push rod 521 is fixedly installed on the top of the L-shaped plate 3. Its piston rod passes vertically downward through the L-shaped plate 3 and is fixedly connected to the top center of the lifting plate 51. The two second guide rods 522 are symmetrically fixed on the top of the lifting plate 51 and pass vertically upward through the L-shaped plate 3, and are slidably connected to the guide holes on the L-shaped plate 3.

[0041] The extension and retraction of the second electric push rod 521 directly drives the lifting plate 51, the material container 53, the material funnel 54, and the coating roller 55 to move up and down, thereby adapting to meat blocks of different thicknesses and controlling the coating pressure. The two second guide rods 522 ensure the stability of the lifting process and prevent the material container 53 from shaking.

[0042] In embodiment three, a punching mechanism can be provided on the top of the conveyor belt 1, or the meat block can be punched before being placed on the top of the conveyor belt 1. The specific structure of the punching mechanism is described in detail in the prior art document CN223053852U, and will not be elaborated on in this application document.

[0043] Working principle: In operation, the operator places a piece of cured meat on conveyor belt 1, which then transports the meat to the right. The first electric push rod 441 is activated, causing the drive roller 43 and the limiting roller 444 to move closer together, ensuring the distance between them is less than the distance between the meat pieces. When the meat reaches the end of conveyor belt 1, guided by the drive roller 43 and blocked by the limiting roller 444, it falls smoothly between them. The stepper motor 42 then starts, driving the drive roller 43 to rotate slowly, causing the meat pieces on it to tumble. Simultaneously, the coating mechanism... The second electric push rod 521 of 5 pushes the lifting plate 51 down, so that the coating roller 55 contacts the surface of the meat block. The marinade in the container 53 falls onto the coating roller 55. As the meat block rolls and the coating roller 55 rotates passively, the marinade is evenly coated on the entire surface of the meat block. After coating is completed, the second electric push rod 521 is activated in the reverse direction, so that the lifting component 52 lifts the coating mechanism 5. When the distance between the drive roller 43 and the limiting roller 444 is greater than the meat block, the meat block will fall through the channel between the opposite side of the drive roller 43 and the limiting roller 444 and fall onto the guide inclined plate 45.

[0044] 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.
