Abstract

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a device for producing stuffed meat semi-finished products. A device for producing stuffed meat semi-finished products consists of a pistol-shaped housing, an electric motor, a power source, a reservoir for filling with a product for injection and a tube coupled with an extruder connected to the electric motor through a gearbox, wherein the extruder comprises a screw configured to create pressure and direct the product for injection into the tube cavity, with a tip with transverse holes fixed at the end of the tube, a spring placed in the tip cavity, with one end the spring pressed against the end of the tip cavity, and with the other - against a piston, with the spring configured to compress when the injection product presses on the piston and shifts it towards the pointed end of the tip to open longitudinal holes and fill the meat semi-finished product with the product for injection.

EFFECT: simplification of cleaning the device during its sanitary treatment.

Description

The invention relates to equipment for processing semi-finished meat products, such as cutlets. The device's primary purpose is to introduce highly viscous substances, such as butter, dough, jellied meat, honey, and cream, into the tissues of the semi-finished product.

A syringe for introducing liquid into a product is known, comprising a housing, a handle secured to it, a pipeline connected to the housing and intended for supplying liquid, a pointed tube made with an opening in the area of the pointed end, connected to the housing and intended for introducing liquid through the opening into the product, a valve installed in the housing, a trigger made spring-loaded and connected to the valve with the possibility of its opening when the trigger is pressed [1].

The disadvantage of this device is that the cavity of the pointed tube becomes contaminated with particles of the semi-finished meat product when using the device.

A known injector comprises a gun-shaped housing containing a battery-powered motor for a continuous supply of fluid from a peristaltic pump. The injector also includes a fluid channel within the housing, through which fluid is pumped from a fluid reservoir to a needle for injection into the meat [2].

The disadvantage of this device is that the needle cavity becomes contaminated with particles of the semi-finished meat product when using the device.

The closest technical solution is an injector consisting of a gun-shaped housing, an electric motor, a power source, a reservoir, and a hollow needle. The needle cavity is connected to an extruder, which is connected to the electric motor via a gearbox [3].

The disadvantage of this device is that the needle cavity becomes contaminated with particles of the semi-finished meat product when using the device.

The purpose of the invention is to ensure that the internal cavities of the device are not contaminated with particles of semi-finished meat product when using the device.

The technical result that can be achieved by using the device is to simplify the cleaning of the device during its sanitization and to ensure sanitary standards.

The proposed technical result is achieved by a device consisting of a gun-shaped housing, an electric motor, a power source, a reservoir, and a tube. The tube is connected to an extruder, which is connected to the electric motor via a gearbox. A tip with transverse holes, the area of which is no less than the area of the tube cavity, is attached to the end of the tube. A spring is located in the tip cavity, pressed against a piston, and the piston is pressed against the tube. Thus, the combination of distinctive features of the invention, presented in the claims, ensures a cause-and-effect relationship between the technical result and the aforementioned features.

The claimed device is distinguished by the fact that a tip with transverse holes is fixed at the end of the tube, the area of which is not less than the area of the tube cavity, a spring is placed in the cavity of the tip, pressed against the piston, and the piston is pressed against the tube.

Fig. 1 shows the general appearance of the device. The device consists of a body 1 in the form of a gun, a reservoir 2 attached to the body, the cavity of which communicates with an extruder 3. An electric motor 4 is connected to the screw of the extruder 3 through a gearbox 5. A tube 6 with a thread at the end is connected to the outlet of the extruder 3. By means of wires (not shown), a power source 7 is connected to the electric motor 4 through a switch 8. A tip 9 with transverse holes 10 is fixed to the end of the tube 6, and the total area of the holes 10 is not less than the cross-sectional area of the tube cavity. A spring 11 is placed in the cavity of the tip 9, one end of the spring 11 is pressed to the end of the cavity of the tip 9, and the other end is pressed to the piston 12. In this case, the piston 12 is pressed to the tube 6.

The device operates as follows. Tank 2 is filled with the product to be injected, force is applied to body 1 and tip 9 is inserted into the semi-finished meat product, then switch 8 is pressed. Electrical energy from power source 7 is directed to electric motor 4, the shaft of which rotates the parts of gearbox 5, thereby reducing the rotation speed and increasing the torque for rotating extruder screw 3. Rotation of extruder screw 3 creates pressure and directs the product into the cavity of tube 6. The product presses on piston 12, compresses spring 11 and moves piston 12 towards the pointed end of tip 9. As a result, holes 10 open and the semi-finished meat product is filled with the product to be injected. Then electric motor 4 is switched off, thereby reducing the pressure in tube 6, spring 11 is released to move piston 12 to its original position. As a result, the piston 12 closes the holes 10. To complete the injection process, the tip 9 is removed from the semi-finished meat product.

The device's perforated tip, piston, and spring prevent particles of processed meat from entering the device's internal cavities. This design simplifies cleaning during sanitization.
