Description

Automatic Cabbage Pickling Machine

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of food processing, and in particular to an automatic cabbage pickling machine.

Background technique

Chinese cabbage is rich in crude fiber, which can not only moisturize the intestines and promote detoxification, but also stimulate gastrointestinal motility, promote defecation, and help digestion. It has a good effect on preventing colon cancer.

Kimchi is a traditional fermented food of the Korean Peninsula. It is spicy, crispy, sour, sweet, white with red, and suitable for all seasons. It is usually eaten with rice.

Method 1 for making spicy cabbage: First, remove the roots and old leaves of the cabbage, wash it, cut the green radish and carrot into thin strips, and chop the coriander; secondly, put the sorted cabbage into a jar, sprinkle salt in layers, and when it is full, sprinkle a small amount of water on it, press it tightly (press it with stones), take it out after 5 days, drain the water, soak the shredded radish in water for 12 hours, take it out and drain the water; finally, mix the shredded green radish, shredded carrot, chopped coriander, soy sauce, MSG, chili powder and pickled cabbage together, stir well, and pickle it. After 2-3 days, the spicy cabbage is ready.

Method 2 for making spicy cabbage: First, cut the cabbage into four cloves, wash it with rice washing water, and hang it in a colander to drain the water slightly; second, sprinkle salt between each clove of cabbage, and seal it in a fresh-keeping box for more than five hours until the water comes out; third, squeeze out the salted cabbage slightly, and spread the spicy cabbage sauce evenly on each piece of cabbage; finally, cover the fresh-keeping box with a lid, ferment at room temperature for one day, and then ferment in the refrigerator for two days.

In the production method of the spicy cabbage, when pickling the cabbage with salt, the cabbage needs to be cut into four pieces manually, and then the cabbage is placed in a vat, and the salt is sprinkled manually, which is extremely labor-intensive and has low pickling efficiency.

Detailed ways

The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and are therefore only used as examples, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which the invention belongs.

Please refer to Figures 1-2. The present invention provides an automatic cabbage pickling machine, which includes a cleaning device 1, a cutting device 2 and a pickling device 3; the cleaning device 1 is used to clean Chinese cabbage, and the cleaning device 1 includes an inclined screen 11 connected to a feed trough 21 and a spray head 12 arranged above the screen 11; the cutting device 2 is connected to the cleaning device 1, and the cutting device 2 is used to cut the cabbage into four pieces; the pickling device 3 is connected to the cutting device 2, and the pickling device 3 is used to pickle the cabbage; the cutting device 2 includes an inclined feed trough 21, a first gear mechanism 22, a second gear mechanism 23, a cutting knife 24 arranged horizontally in the feed trough, a cutting knife 25 arranged vertically in the feed trough, and a driving mechanism for driving the cutting knife 25 to move up and down; the first gear mechanism 22 and the second gear mechanism 23 are respectively arranged near the upper and lower parts of the feed trough 21, and the cutting knife 24 is fixed between the first gear mechanism 22 and the second gear mechanism 23. The first gear mechanism 22 and the second gear mechanism 23 are both composed of a driving motor and a gear connected to the power output shaft of the driving motor. The gear on the first gear mechanism 22 and the gear on the second gear mechanism 23 are arranged in parallel. A square hole is opened at the bottom of the feeding trough 21 between the first gear mechanism 22 and the second gear mechanism 23. The gear on the second gear mechanism 23 is located at the square hole. The gear is composed of a rotating shaft and a plurality of teeth arranged on the rotating shaft. The distance between the tops of each two adjacent teeth on the gear is 10-18 cm. The tooth groove depth of the gear is 8-10 cm. The data setting of the above gears is to make each tooth groove just able to accommodate about half of the cabbage space, so that the rotating gear can drive the clamped cabbage to pass over the cutting knife 24 to cut the cabbage into two pieces; the cutting knife 25 is located behind the cutting knife 24, and the driving mechanism drives the cutting knife 25 to move up and down to cut the cabbage from two pieces into four pieces. The pickling device 3 includes a motor 34, a sliding seat 33, a pickling cylinder 31 arranged on the sliding seat, and a salt spreading mechanism 32. The lower end of the feed trough 21 is located above the cylinder mouth of the pickling cylinder 31; the pickling cylinder 31 and the sliding seat 33 are rotationally matched, and the motor 34 drives the pickling cylinder 31 to rotate on a horizontal plane; the salt spreading mechanism 32 is arranged above the pickling cylinder 31.

During operation, the cabbages are placed side by side in the feeding trough, and are cut by the cutting blades 24 and 25 in sequence under the drive of the first gear mechanism and the second gear mechanism, and then fall from the bottom of the feeding trough into the pickling vat for pickling. Since the pickling vat rotates itself, the cut cabbages can be arranged radially in the pickling vat, that is, the distribution of the cabbages is more uniform.

As a further improvement to the above scheme, it also includes a fixed seat 35, which is slidably matched with the sliding seat 33 in the horizontal direction, and a cylinder 36, which pushes the sliding seat 33 to reciprocate on the fixed seat 35 so that the center position of the cylinder mouth of the pickling cylinder 31 can be alternately located on the left and right sides of the lower end of the feeding trough 21. Since the outer diameters of the green leaf end and the petiole end of the cabbage are different, if the petiole ends of the cabbage are all located in the center of the pickling cylinder, the height at the center of the cylinder will be significantly higher than the height around it. Through the reciprocating movement of the pickling cylinder, the green leaf end and the petiole end of each layer of cabbage can be alternately located in the center of the pickling cylinder.

As a further improvement to the above scheme, a baffle 4 is provided at the upper part of the bottom end of the feed trough 21, and a conveyor belt mechanism 5 is provided at the bottom. The conveyor belt mechanism includes a conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt surface is obliquely arranged below the baffle, and the distance between the lower edge of the baffle and the conveyor belt surface is 5-10 cm. The purpose of the above arrangement is to arrange the cut cabbage into the pickling tank one by one. The salting mechanism 32 is arranged above the pickling tank. When the large leaves in the pickling tank that have not been salted rotate to the bottom of the salting mechanism, the salt is evenly spread.

As a further improvement to the above solution, the height of the baffle is adjustable so as to accommodate cabbages of different sizes passing through the baffle.

Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein by equivalents. These modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be included in the scope of the claims and specification of the present invention.
