Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a pickle device that makes full use of vacuum pressure, and particularly to a pickle device that simultaneously crushes one or various pickles according to preference by making full use of the vacuum osmosis effect. It is a device.

[Conventional technology]

A pickling device for pickling pickling materials in a vacuum container is well known, and for example, a method for rapidly permeating seasoning liquid such as salt water into pickling materials was introduced in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 111750/1983.
ing.

In this method, a vacuum pump is directly connected to a pickle container, and the vacuum pump is operated for about 15 to 20 minutes to infiltrate the seasoning liquid into the pickle material under vacuum, thereby producing the whole pickle in a short time.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

According to the conventional example, even if the pickles can be completely crushed in a short time, the inside of the pickle container is treated with a vacuum pump, so if you want to make different materials according to your preference, it is difficult to do it in one time. Each time the pickling process is completed, each pickle material must be individually pickled in the specified seasoning liquid.
It has the disadvantage that the pickling process requires a lot of time and effort.

In addition, when all different materials are pickled at the same time, the number of vacuum pumps corresponding to the number of pickle materials is required, which is economically disadvantageous.

If you attempt to vacuum-infiltrate several types of pickle materials with different seasoning liquid permeability into one sealed container at the same time without sealing them all with an airtight lid, even if permeation is desirable, the result will be the same. If the pickles penetrate too much or not enough, you won't be able to get pickles with a satisfying taste.

In view of the fact that the conventional pickling method using vacuum pressure has inconveniences in both the pickling method and the pickling device, the present invention provides a pickling method regardless of the type of pickling material or the type of seasoning liquid. A pickling device that can pickle all kinds of ingredients at the same time depending on the amount of pickles or the degree of crushing? The problem to be solved is to provide the following.

[Means to solve all problems]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention not only consists of an airtight container for pickles and a vacuum pump, but also
Airtight container for pickles that can store one or more airtight containers t
In addition, this sealed container is connected to a vacuum pump through the piping, and a switching valve is provided in the pump circuit including the sealed container so that the entire inside of the sealed container can be opened to the atmosphere at any time. This structure employs a lid that is sealed due to the pressure difference between the inside of the container and the inside of the sealed container, and a pulp for opening to the atmosphere.

[Effect]

(2) Or, in one or more sealed containers with lids, put the required pickle ingredients and the flavoring liquid mixture (n1) with a lid on and store in the sealed container. Then, run the vacuum pump at full capacity to suck out all the air inside the sealed container. When the inside of the airtight container for pickles becomes diluted, the air inside the airtight container for pickles will be removed from the gap between the container and the lid, and the air inside the airtight container for pickles will become diluted. The internal pressure gradually becomes low along with the inside of the sealed container, and at this time, on the one hand, the air contained in the tissues and cells of the pickle material is sucked out, and on the other hand, the seasoning liquid rapidly penetrates inside the above-mentioned tissues, etc. of the pickle material. go.

Next, when the vacuum pump is stopped and all pulp switches are switched to bring the pressure inside the sealed container to full atmospheric pressure, outside air will enter the sealed container and the pressure inside the container will become higher than the pressure inside the airtight container for pickles. The pressure difference between the inside of the container and the airtight container for pickles closes the lid of the airtight container for pickles in an airtight state, and the entire interior of the airtight container for pickles is maintained at the above-mentioned low pressure state.

Therefore, even if the vacuum pump is stopped in an airtight container for pickles, the vacuum permeation of the seasoning liquid into the pickle materials is performed continuously. Since the can be opened at any time, the airtight container for pickles can be taken out of the sealed container at any time while maintaining the internal completely low pressure state.

After that, depending on the type and preference of the contents in the airtight container for pickles, that is, the type of pickle material and the length of pickling time, the valves of the airtight container for pickles are fully closed all at once or individually at a time difference of t. The inside of the container is communicated with outside air. At this time, the rapid permeation of the seasoning liquid is completed, and various types of pickle materials become deliciously edible as pickles in a short time.
