Description

  The present invention relates to a food pickling apparatus for pickling food in a processing solution.

  As described in Patent Document 1, it is common to immerse a fish in a processing solution. Usually, the fish is stored in a tank and the processing solution is injected. Then, the fish is immersed in the processing solution in the tank.

  In this case, in order to obtain the soaking effect, it is necessary to infiltrate the treatment liquid into the fish, and it is necessary to soak the fish for a considerable time. Therefore, there is a problem that the required time is long. In the tank, it is conceivable to stir the treatment liquid and the fish with a stirring means such as a blade so that the treatment liquid penetrates quickly and shortens the required time. However, the agitation means does not damage the fish. Absent.

  Not only fish, but also meat or vegetables can be soaked in the processing solution. Although it is possible to immerse other foods in the treatment liquid, the long time required is the same. It is the same that the food is damaged by the stirring means.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to make the required time short when the food is soaked in the treatment liquid and to prevent the food from being damaged.

  Further, the inlet and the tank are connected by a pipe or a hose, and the processing liquid is introduced from the inlet and filled in the tank.

It is sectional drawing which shows the Example of this invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the apparatus of FIG.

  Examples of the present invention will be described below.

  FIG. 1 shows a food pickling apparatus according to the present invention. In this apparatus, a fish 2 is stored in a tank 1 and a treatment liquid 3 is injected. As shown in FIG. 2, the tank 1 has a cylindrical shape. The treatment liquid 3 is a pickle liquid, which is a mixture of water and seasoning and stirred. The seasoning consists of salt and other raw materials. Furthermore, the reciprocating pump 4 is connected to the tank 1, and the reciprocating pump 4 is composed of a piston pump and has a piston and a drive mechanism. And a piston is accommodated in a cylinder, a piston is driven by a drive mechanism, moves forward, retreats, and reciprocates. A drive mechanism consists of a motor or a cylinder. Therefore, as will be described later, the treatment liquid 3 can be discharged, sucked, pressurized, decompressed, and repeated by the reciprocating pump 4.

  In this embodiment, the tank 1 has an upper end opening 5. Then, the fish 2 is inserted into the tank 1 at the upper end opening 5. Further, a lid 6 is attached to the tank 1, and after inserting the fish 2, the lid 6 swings around the pin 7, and the upper end opening 5 is closed and sealed by the lid 6.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, a net shelf 9 is provided on the rod 8. Then, the fish 2 is placed on the net shelf 9, and the rod 8 and the net shelf 9 are inserted into the tank 1 at the upper end opening 5. The net shelf 9 has a circular shape, has a size corresponding to the tank 1, is arranged horizontally, and the rod 8 extends vertically. Further, a plurality of shelves 9 are used as the net shelves 9, and the shelves 9 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. At the center position of the net shelves 9, the rods 8 pass through the shelves 9, and the shelves 9 are rods. 8 and fixed. Then, the fish 2 is placed on each shelf 9 and inserted into the tank 1. Further, the rod 8 is engaged with the tank 1 on the bottom surface of the tank 1, and the net shelf 9 and the fish 2 are supported by the rod 8 in the tank 1.

  Further, the reciprocating pump 4 and the tank 1 are connected by a pipe or hose 10. The pipe or hose 10 can be separated from the tank 1. For example, the joint 11 is provided in the tank 1, and the height position thereof is a height position close to the upper end opening 5. Further, a pipe or hose 10 is connected to the joint 11 so that the pipe or hose 10 can be separated from the joint 11 and separated from the tank 1. The reciprocating pump 4 has casters 12 and is movable along the floor surface. The tank 1 also has casters 13 and can move along the floor surface.

  Further, the inlet 14 and the tank 1 are connected by a pipe or hose 10, and a cock 15 is provided in the pipe or hose 10. The pipe or hose 10 has first and second connection paths, the first connection path reaches the reciprocating pump 4, the second connection path reaches the inlet 14, and the cock 15 is provided in the second connection path. . Therefore, when the cock 15 is opened, the processing liquid 3 can be introduced from the inlet 14, passed through the pipe or hose 10, injected into the tank 1 and filled.

  In this apparatus, first, the fish 2 is accommodated in the tank 1. Thereafter, when the processing liquid 3 is injected into the tank 1 and filled, the processing liquid 3 passes through the pipe or hose 10 and is guided to the reciprocating pump 4. Thereafter, the upper end opening 5 is closed by the lid 6 and sealed. Further, when the cock 15 is closed and then the piston is driven by the drive mechanism in the cylinder of the reciprocating pump 4 to be advanced, retreated, and reciprocated, the reciprocating pump 4 is used to treat the processing liquid in the pipe or hose 10. When 3 is discharged and retreats, the treatment liquid 3 is sucked by the reciprocating pump 4 in the pipe or hose 10 and is repeated alternately.

  Accordingly, when the processing liquid 3 is discharged, the processing liquid 3 is pressurized by the reciprocating pump 4 in the tank 1 and when sucked, the processing liquid 3 is depressurized by the reciprocating pump 4 in the tank 1. Are repeated alternately. Therefore, pressure fluctuation occurs in the treatment liquid 3, which acts on the fish 2, and the fish 2 is swallowed by the pressure fluctuation.

  Therefore, the fish 2 can be soaked in the treatment liquid 3 and the treatment liquid 3 can penetrate into the fish 2. Furthermore, the fish 2 is bitten by the pressure fluctuation, and the treatment liquid 3 penetrates easily and quickly, and the required time is short. Moreover, although the fish 2 is bitten by pressure fluctuation, it is a static phenomenon, not a dynamic phenomenon. Therefore, the fish 2 is not damaged thereby.

  Not only the fish 2 but also meat or vegetables can be soaked in the treatment liquid 3. It is conceivable to immerse other foods in the treatment liquid 3, and in this case, the required time is short. The food is not damaged.

  The tank 1 may have a rectangular tube shape instead of a cylindrical shape. Furthermore, in the tank 1, the food is placed on the net shelf 9 and supported by the rod 8. However, various shapes and structures of equipment for placing and supporting the food are conceivable.

  It is also conceivable to use a tank 1 that rotates around a central axis extending in the vertical direction. In this case, for example, if a joint is provided in the lid 6 at the position of the central axis, a pipe or hose 10 is connected to the joint, and the tank 1 rotates, the rotation is absorbed by the joint. Absent.
