Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chicken drying machines, specifically an automated drying machine for chicken powder production. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken powder is a powdered product made primarily from chicken meat through processing. It is widely used in food seasoning, feed additives, and other fields. It is made primarily from chicken meat (such as chicken breast) through a gentle biological enzymatic hydrolysis or boiling extraction process, which preserves the natural flavor and nutritional components of chicken meat.

[0003] In the production of chicken powder, chicken usually needs to be cut into small pieces, then dried, and finally ground into powder. In this production process, the drying of chicken is usually done using a drying box. The chicken pieces are laid flat on a tray, and then the tray is placed on the tray rack inside the drying box for drying. The whole process requires a lot of manual operation, such as evenly placing the chicken pieces in the tray and stacking the tray on the tray rack, which reduces the overall work efficiency.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: it includes a conveyor frame 1 and a drying box 2. Support columns 11 are fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the conveyor frame 1. The drying box 2 is fixed at the middle of the upper end of the conveyor frame 1. An insulation lining is installed on the inner wall of the drying box 2. A metal mesh conveyor belt 3 is installed inside the conveyor frame 1. A heating box 6 is fixed at the bottom of the conveyor frame 1. The upper end of the heating box 6 is located inside the conveyor frame 1 and is fixed with a cover plate 61. Fan holes 62 are evenly distributed on the cover plate 61, and fans are installed in each of the fan holes 62. Heating rods 6 are fixed inside the heating box 6. 3. Exhaust ports 21 are provided on both sides of the conveyor frame 1. A drying box 8 is fixed on both sides of the conveyor frame 1 and at the position aligned with the exhaust ports. A desiccant adsorption frame 81 is provided inside the drying box 8. A connecting pipe 7 is fixed between the bottom of the drying box 8 and the bottom of the heating box 6. A dustproof net is provided on the upper surface of the fan hole 62. The height of the connecting pipe 7 at one end of the heating box 6 is lower than the height of the heating rod 63. A temperature sensor is provided inside the heating box 6. A drive box is fixed on the outside of the conveyor frame 1, and a drive device for driving the metal mesh conveyor belt 3 is fixed inside the drive box.

[0018] Side plates 4 are fixed on both sides of the front end of the conveyor frame 1, and a push plate 41 is fixed between the side plates 4. The push plate 41 is located above the metal mesh conveyor belt 3. An end plate 5 is fixed at the end of the conveyor frame 1, and a scraper 51 is fixed on the end plate 5. The upper end of the scraper 51 is in contact with the surface of the metal mesh conveyor belt 3. Before the chicken pieces enter the drying chamber 2, the push plate 41 can block the chicken pieces that are piled up too high, so that the chicken pieces entering the drying chamber 2 can be spread flat on the metal mesh conveyor belt 3. At the end of the metal mesh conveyor belt 3, the scraper 51 is used to scrape off the dried chicken pieces, so as to avoid the situation where the chicken pieces sticking to the metal mesh conveyor belt 3 during the drying process cannot fall off.

[0019] Working principle: First, the entire device is connected to an external power source. Heating rod 63 heats the interior of heating chamber 6, and a temperature sensor monitors the temperature. Then, a fan blows hot air into the conveyor frame 1, allowing the hot air to enter the drying chamber 2 and exit through exhaust port 21. After passing through drying chamber 8, the air is guided by connecting pipe 7 and re-enters heating chamber 6, achieving hot air circulation. In this state, the metal mesh conveyor belt 3 transports the chicken pieces into drying chamber 2, where hot air continuously blows onto the surface of the chicken pieces. Under the combined effects of heating and airflow, the drying process is achieved quickly. Furthermore, when hot air passes through the drying chamber 8, the desiccant in the desiccant adsorption frame 81 absorbs the moisture in the air, ensuring that the hot air returning to the heating chamber 6 is dry air, which can better dry the chicken pieces. Before the chicken pieces enter the drying chamber 2, the push plate 41 can block the chicken pieces that are piled up too high, so that the chicken pieces entering the drying chamber 2 can be laid flat on the metal mesh conveyor belt 3, reducing the problem of insufficient drying caused by piled chicken pieces. Secondly, at the end of the metal mesh conveyor belt 3, the scraper 51 is used to scrape off the dried chicken pieces, preventing the chicken pieces that stick to the metal mesh conveyor belt 3 during the drying process from not being able to fall off.
