[0002] With increasing consumer awareness of health, low-salt meat products have become a development trend in the food processing industry. Among them, low-salt ham, due to its combination of flavor and health benefits, has seen continuous market demand growth. Ultra-high pressure technology, as a non-thermal processing technique, is widely used in low-salt ham production.

[0047] Preferably, the delivery pipe 204 has two sections: a delivery pipe 204 inside the high-pressure tank and a delivery pipe 204 outside the high-pressure tank, which are fixed by a connector 206. The connector 206 is located inside the high-pressure tank and is a compression fitting. A sealing sleeve is provided at the connection between the delivery pipe 204 and the high-pressure tank, through which the delivery pipe 204 passes.

A high-strength sealing ring is provided at the connection between the sealing cover 102 and the pressure tank 105 to ensure good airtightness under high pressure.

[0051] In practical use, a low-salt ham production device based on ultra-high pressure technology according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0052] Based on the quantity and height of the ham, the required number of fixing plates 207 are spliced ​​together using quick-release connectors 213: the quick-release connectors 213 at the upper end of the connecting pipes 208 of the lower fixing plate 207 are connected and fixed to the quick-release connectors 213 at the lower end of the connecting pipes 208 of the upper fixing plate 207, ensuring that each fixing plate 207 is securely spliced ​​through the connecting pipes 208 on both edges. The quick-release connectors 213 of the uppermost fixing plate 207 are reserved with a connection interface to the conveying pipe 204. The ham is placed between each fixing plate 207, so that the support rings 202 on the fixing frame 201 pass through the gaps between the arc-shaped support frames 209. Then, the fixing frame 201 is rotated so that the support rings 202 rotate above the support frames 209. At this time, the protrusion at the bottom of the support rings 202 is engaged in the slots 210 of the support frames 209. The circular rubber fixing rings 211 on the inner side wall of the fixing frame 201 contact the edges of the fixing plates 207, further lifting the fixing plates. 207. For stability, the sealing cap 102 of the pressure tank 105 is closed, and water is injected into the pressure tank 105 through the injection pipe 104 to gradually increase the pressure inside the tank until the ultra-high pressure conditions required for low-salt ham processing are reached. The water pump in the water storage tank 203 is started, driving the coolant to enter the liquid storage chamber 212 of the fixed plate 207 through the external delivery pipe 204, connector 206 and internal delivery pipe 204. The coolant circulates between the liquid storage chambers 212 of each layer of the fixed plate 207 through the connecting pipe 208. At the same time, the coolant also flows into the cavity inside the side wall of the fixed frame 201, forming an all-round circulation. During the ultra-high pressure pressurization process, the pressure tank 105 generates heat due to the increased pressure and adiabatic compression. The circulating coolant continuously absorbs this heat. After absorbing the heat, the coolant flows back to the water storage tank 203 through the delivery pipe 204 to achieve heat transfer and avoid the temperature inside the tank being too high, which would affect the quality of the ham.

For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations are possible with this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
