Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to an integrated processing equipment for cutting, marinating and drying beef jerky. Background Technology

[0002] The production of beef jerky involves slicing, marinating, and drying the beef.

[0003] However, there are still some shortcomings in the existing technology for processing beef jerky:

[0004] 1. In the existing technology, the processing of beef jerky is divided into three steps: slicing, marinating and drying. However, different equipment is often required for different steps, so three different processing equipment are needed in the whole process. Therefore, during processing, the ingredients need to be frequently moved between the three pieces of equipment, which not only affects the processing efficiency of beef jerky, but also increases the production cost of beef jerky due to the need for multiple pieces of equipment.

[0005] 2. When slicing beef, most slicers use mechanical slicing tools, which can only cut single ingredients into strips or slices, but cannot cut ingredients into beef cubes of different widths.

[0006] To address the above problems, this invention proposes an integrated processing equipment for beef jerky cutting, marinating, and drying. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to solve the shortcomings of existing technologies that require three different processing devices during processing, necessitate frequent handling of ingredients between the three devices, and make it impossible to cut beef into beef cubes of different widths. Therefore, this invention proposes an integrated processing device for beef jerky cutting, marinating, and drying.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] An integrated processing equipment for cutting, marinating and drying beef jerky includes a workbench, a marinating box and a drying box on one side of the workbench, and the drying box is fixed to one side of the marinating box. The marinating box is used to marinate the cut beef, and the drying box is used to dry the beef jerky that is automatically retrieved from the marinating box.

[0010] It also includes a first U-shaped frame, which is fixed to the top of the workbench by bolts. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the first U-shaped frame. Multiple cutting blades are detachably fixed to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft drives the cutting blades to rotate to cut the beef into strips, which makes it easier to cut the beef into beef jerky of different widths later. The number of cutting blades can be adjusted according to the required cutting width.

[0011] The feeding structure, located inside the workbench, is used to automatically feed the beef towards the cutting blade, thereby completing the cutting of the beef.

[0012] The cutting structure, located inside the workbench, is used to further cut the beef strips cut by the cutting blade into beef cubes of different widths. The cutting structure is located on one side of the feeding structure, and the feeding structure can drive the cutting structure when it is running.

[0013] The processing structure, located inside the marinating box, is used to automatically marinate and dry beef jerky, and the operation of the cutting structure can drive the processing structure.

[0014] In one possible design, the feeding structure includes a movable plate slidably connected within a worktable. A reciprocating threaded rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the worktable via a base plate, and the reciprocating threaded rod is threadedly connected to the movable plate. A pusher plate is bolted to one side of the movable plate and slidably connected to the top of the worktable. The pusher plate has multiple arc-shaped grooves on one side to accommodate the cutting blades. The pusher plate is used to convey beef to the right. Two L-shaped limiting plates slide through the worktable. A horizontal plate is welded between the two L-shaped limiting plates and is located below the reciprocating threaded rod. The top of the horizontal plate is elastically connected to the bottom of the worktable via multiple first springs. Multiple first electromagnets are bolted to the top of the horizontal plate. The bottom of the workbench is fixed with multiple first magnets that cooperate with the first electromagnet by bolts. The magnetic attraction between the first electromagnet and the first magnet is greater than the elastic force of the first spring. Multiple rotating rollers are rotatably connected inside the L-shaped limiting plate. The multiple rotating rollers are used to press and convey the beef. When the first electromagnet is energized, the magnetic attraction between the first electromagnet and the first magnet causes the L-shaped limiting plate to move upward and place the beef block on the workbench. When the first electromagnet is de-energized, the elastic force of the first spring pushes the L-shaped limiting plate downward, and the rotating rollers can press the beef block. The reciprocating threaded rod is driven by a motor to rotate, and the pusher plate pushes the beef block to the right. The rotating shaft and the cutting blade are driven by a motor to rotate, and the cutting blade initially cuts the conveyed beef block into beef strips.

[0015] In one possible design, the cutting structure includes a second frame that slides through the worktable. A cutter located above the worktable is bolted inside the second frame. The cutter moves up and down reciprocally to cut beef strips in one step. A top plate is welded to one side of the first U-shaped frame. Multiple guide rods slide through the top plate, and the bottom end of the guide rods is fixedly connected to the top of the cutter. A tension spring is fitted on the outer wall of the guide rod and fixedly connected to the top of the cutter. The top end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate. The cooperation between the tension spring and the guide rods can control the cutter to move upward and reset, facilitating the subsequent up and down reciprocating movement of the second frame and the cutter.

[0016] In one possible design, the cutting structure further includes a first rotating shaft rotatably connected to the bottom of the worktable. A worm gear is fixed to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft, and a turntable is fixed to the bottom end of the first rotating shaft. The bottom of the turntable has multiple grooves, and push rods are fixed to the grooves by bolts. A gearbox is fixed to the bottom of the worktable by bolts, and the input shaft of the gearbox is fixedly connected to one end of a reciprocating threaded rod via a coupling. The output shaft of the gearbox is fixed to a worm gear via a coupling, and the worm gear meshes with a worm wheel. A push rod is slidably connected to the bottom of the worktable. The worktable has a plate, and the push plate cooperates with the push rod. One side of the push plate is rotatably connected to multiple first connecting rods, and the bottom end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the top inner wall of the second frame. One side of the worktable is provided with an inclined surface, which allows the beef cubes cut by the cutter to be automatically discharged into the marinating box. The turntable and push rod are driven to rotate by the cooperation of the reciprocating screw rod, gearbox and worm gear. The push rod can push the push plate to complete the downward movement of the cutter to cut the beef strips. In addition, the installation of a corresponding number of push rods can control the frequency of the up and down reciprocating movement of the cutter, thereby controlling the width of the cut beef cubes.

[0017] In one possible design, the processing structure includes a rotating column rotatably connected to the top of the marinating box. Multiple first screen plates are bolted to the outer wall of the rotating column. A one-way bearing is provided on the outer wall of the rotating column, and a first gear is fixed to the outer wall of the one-way bearing. A moving rod is slidably connected to the top of the worktable. The top of the moving rod is rotatably connected to one side of a second frame via multiple second connecting rods. A Z-shaped rack meshing with the first gear is bolted to one side of the moving rod, and the Z-shaped rack is slidably connected to the top of the worktable. Multiple heating elements are bolted to the bottom inner wall of the marinating box. When the cutter and the second frame reciprocate to cut the beef strips, the second frame drives the moving rod and the Z-shaped rack to reciprocate via the second connecting rods. Under the action of the one-way bearing, the Z-shaped rack can drive the rotating column to rotate continuously in one direction. The rotating column drives the multiple first screen plates to rotate, ensuring the beef is fully marinated in the marinating box. Furthermore, when the first screen plates rotate, beef falling from the worktable is immersed in the marinating slurry.

[0018] In one possible design, a second sieve plate is slidably fitted inside the drying chamber. A protruding plate is welded to one side of the top of the pickling chamber. Multiple sliding rods slide through the protruding plate, and one end of each sliding rod is fixed to the same sliding limiting plate, which is slidably connected inside the pickling chamber. A second spring is sleeved on the outer wall of each sliding rod, and both ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the sides of the sliding limiting plate and the protruding plate that are close to each other. Multiple second electromagnets are bolted to the side of the protruding plate close to the sliding limiting plate, and multiple second electromagnets are bolted to the side of the sliding limiting plate close to the protruding plate. The magnet is used, and the magnetic attraction between the second electromagnet and the second magnet is greater than the elastic force of the second spring. After the beef is marinated, the power to the second electromagnet is turned off, and the elastic force of the second screen plate pushes the sliding limit plate to move to the left. The first screen plate touches the sliding limit plate. As the first screen plate rotates, the cooperation between the first screen plate and the sliding limit plate can lift the marinated beef. The first screen plate is tilted at a certain angle, so during the rotation, the marinated beef falls along the inclined surface of the first screen plate into the drying box. Then, hot air from the hot air blown into the drying box through the pipe is used to dry the marinated beef.

[0019] In one possible design, the first screen plate is placed at an angle on the outer wall of the rotating column, with the end of the first screen plate closer to the drying box being lower, so that the beef scooped out by the first screen plate can be discharged into the marinating box; the cooperation between the first screen plate and the sliding limiting plate can scoop up the marinated beef, and the first screen plate is in a certain angle of inclination, so during the rotation, the marinated beef falls along the inclined surface of the first screen plate into the drying box, which is convenient for subsequent drying.

[0020] In one possible design, a pressure plate is bolted to the side of the first U-shaped frame near the second frame, and the height of the pressure plate matches the thickness of the beef. The pressure plate can press the beef strips cut by the cutting blade, making it easier for the subsequent cutting blade to cut the beef strips in one step.

[0021] In one possible design, a movable push table is slidably connected inside the drying chamber. Multiple arc-shaped plates slide through the movable push table via pins. Multiple arc-shaped strips are bolted to the bottom of the second screen plate, and these strips, in conjunction with the arc-shaped plates, drive the second screen plate to vibrate up and down. A sliding block is welded to one side of the movable push table. One side of the pressure plate extends slidably to one side of the drying chamber. One end of the movable rod is bolted to a connecting push rod, which is slidably connected to the top of the worktable. The end of the connecting push rod away from the cutting blade is fixedly connected to the sliding block. When the second frame drives the movable rod to move back and forth, the connecting push rod and the sliding block drive the movable push table to move synchronously. With the cooperation of the arc-shaped plates and arc-shaped strips, the second screen plate vibrates up and down, ensuring the beef jerky is evenly distributed on the second screen plate and allowing it to be turned over, thus ensuring thorough drying.

[0022] In one possible design, multiple screws rotate through the movable push platform, with the top ends of the screws extending into an arc-shaped plate. A second gear is fixed to the bottom end of each screw. A U-shaped frame is slidably connected to the bottom inner wall of the drying chamber via a vertical plate, and the second gear is located within the U-shaped frame. Second racks are welded to the inner walls of the U-shaped frames on opposite sides, meshing with the second gears. A round rod is welded to one side of the U-shaped frame, with one end extending slidably to the outside of the drying chamber. The round rod drives the U-shaped frame to move, causing the second gear to mesh with the corresponding second rack. As the movable push platform reciprocates, it drives the screws to rotate forward and backward, controlling the raising and lowering of the arc-shaped plate. This controls the vibration amplitude of the second sieve plate, ensuring the beef jerky is thoroughly dried.

[0023] In this invention, a turntable is fixed to the bottom of the first rotating shaft, and multiple push rods are provided at the bottom of the turntable. The push rods are fixed in the groove by bolts. A push plate that cooperates with the push rods is slidably connected to the bottom of the worktable. One side of the push plate is rotatably connected to the top inner wall of the second frame through a first connecting rod. The reciprocating threaded rod drives the turntable and push rods to rotate. The push rods can push the push plate to complete the cutting of the beef strips by moving the cutter downward. In addition, installing a corresponding number of push rods can control the frequency of the cutter's up-and-down reciprocating movement, thereby controlling the width of the cut beef pieces.

[0024] In this invention, multiple sliding rods slide through the convex plate, and one end of each sliding rod is fixed to the same sliding limiting plate. Multiple first screen plates are fixed to the outer wall of the rotating column by bolts. The first screen plates are placed at an inclination on the outer wall of the rotating column. When the second electromagnet is de-energized, the elastic force of the second screen plate pushes the sliding limiting plate to the left, and the first screen plate contacts the sliding limiting plate. As the first screen plate rotates, the cooperation between the first screen plate and the sliding limiting plate can scoop up the marinated beef. During the rotation, the marinated beef falls along the inclined surface of the first screen plate into the drying box. The beef jerky is automatically scooped into the drying box for drying without manual operation. The operation is simple, there is no need to handle the beef jerky, and the processing efficiency of the beef jerky is improved.

[0025] In this invention, multiple arc-shaped plates slide through the movable push platform, and multiple arc-shaped strips are fixed to the bottom of the second screen plate by bolts. A sliding block is welded to one side of the movable push platform, and a connecting push rod is fixed to one end of the movable rod. The end of the connecting push rod away from the cutting blade is fixedly connected to the sliding block. When the second frame drives the movable rod to move back and forth, the movable push platform can be driven to move synchronously through the connecting push rod and the sliding block. With the cooperation of the arc-shaped plates and arc-shaped strips, the second screen plate is driven to vibrate up and down, so that the beef jerky on the second screen plate is evenly distributed, and the beef jerky can also be turned over to fully dry the beef jerky.

[0026] In this invention, two L-shaped limiting plates slide through the workbench, and a horizontal plate is welded between the two L-shaped limiting plates. Multiple rotating rollers are rotatably connected inside the L-shaped limiting plates. The elastic force of the first spring pushes the L-shaped limiting plates downward, and the rotating rollers can press the beef pieces. The pusher plate pushes the beef pieces to the right. Through the cooperation of multiple rotating rollers, not only can the beef be pressed to facilitate the cutting blade to cut the beef into strips, but the pusher plate can also facilitate the conveying of the beef.

[0027] In this invention, the feeding structure, cutting structure and processing structure work together to sequentially complete the cutting, marinating and drying of beef jerky on the same equipment. This allows for the orderly completion of multiple subsequent processes on the same equipment, saving time wasted during raw material handling and reducing production and processing costs. In addition, the width of the beef jerky can be controlled by controlling the number of push rods during the beef cutting process. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Reference Figures 1-9 An integrated processing equipment for cutting, marinating and drying beef jerky is used in the food processing field. It includes a workbench 1, a marinating box 2 and a drying box 3 on one side of the workbench 1, and the drying box 3 is fixed to one side of the marinating box 2. The marinating box 2 is used to marinate the cut beef, and the drying box 3 is used to dry the beef jerky that is automatically taken out of the marinating box 2.

[0044] It also includes a first U-shaped frame 13, which is fixed to the top of the workbench 1 by bolts. A rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected inside the first U-shaped frame 13. Multiple cutting blades 15 are detachably fixed to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 14. The rotating shaft 14 drives the cutting blades 15 to rotate to cut the beef into strips, which makes it easier to cut the beef into beef jerky of different widths later. The number of cutting blades 15 can be adjusted according to the required cutting width.

[0045] Reference Figures 2-4 The equipment also includes a feeding structure installed within the workbench 1, used to automatically convey beef towards the cutting blade 15, thereby completing the cutting of the beef. The feeding structure includes a movable plate 10 slidably connected within the workbench 1. A reciprocating threaded rod 12 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the workbench 1 via a base plate, and the reciprocating threaded rod 12 is threadedly connected to the movable plate 10. A pusher plate 11 is bolted to one side of the movable plate 10, and the pusher plate 11 is slidably connected to the top of the workbench 1. Multiple arc-shaped grooves are provided on one side of the pusher plate 11 to allow space for the cutting blade 15. The pusher plate 11 is used to convey the beef to the right. Two L-shaped limiting plates 4 slide through the workbench 1, and a horizontal plate 6 is welded between the two L-shaped limiting plates 4. The horizontal plate 6 is located below the reciprocating threaded rod 12. The top of the horizontal plate 6 is elastically connected to the bottom of the workbench 1 via multiple first springs 7. Multiple first electromagnets 9 are fixed to the top with bolts, and multiple first magnets 8 that cooperate with the first electromagnets 9 are fixed to the bottom of the worktable 1 with bolts. The magnetic attraction between the first electromagnets 9 and the first magnets 8 is greater than the elastic force of the first spring 7. Multiple rotating rollers 5 are rotatably connected inside the L-shaped limiting plate 4. The multiple rotating rollers 5 are used to press and convey the beef. When the first electromagnets 9 are energized, the magnetic attraction between the first electromagnets 9 and the first magnets 8 drives the L-shaped limiting plate 4 to move upward and place the beef block on the worktable 1. When the first electromagnets 9 are de-energized, the elastic force of the first spring 7 pushes the L-shaped limiting plate 4 downward, and the rotating rollers 5 can press the beef block. The reciprocating threaded rod 12 is driven to rotate by the motor, and the pusher plate 11 pushes the beef block to the right. The rotating shaft 14 and the cutting blade 15 are driven to rotate by the motor. The cutting blade 15 initially cuts the conveyed beef block into beef strips.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5The equipment also includes a cutting structure set inside the workbench 1, used to further cut the beef strips cut by the cutting blade 15 into beef cubes of different widths. The cutting structure is located on one side of the feeding structure, and the feeding structure can drive the cutting structure when it is running. The cutting structure includes a second frame 20 that slides through the workbench 1. A cutter 19 located above the workbench 1 is fixed inside the second frame 20 by bolts. The cutter 19 moves up and down to cut the beef strips in one step. A top plate 16 is welded to one side of the first U-shaped frame 13. Multiple guide rods 17 slide through the top plate 16, and the bottom end of the guide rod 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the cutter 19. A tension spring 18 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod 17 and fixedly connected to the top of the cutter 19. The top end of the tension spring 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 16. The cooperation between the tension spring 18 and the guide rod 17 can control the cutter 19 to move up and reset, which is convenient for the second frame 20 and the cutter 19 to move up and down in the later stage.

[0047] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The cutting structure also includes a first rotating shaft 21 rotatably connected to the bottom of the worktable 1. A worm gear 22 is fixed to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 21, and a turntable 25 is fixed to the bottom end of the first rotating shaft 21. The bottom of the turntable 25 is provided with multiple grooves 26, and push rods 27 are fixed in the grooves 26 by bolts. A gearbox 24 is fixed to the bottom of the worktable 1 by bolts, and the input shaft of the gearbox 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the reciprocating threaded rod 12 by a coupling. The output shaft of the gearbox 24 is fixed to a worm gear 23 by a coupling, and the worm gear 23 meshes with the worm gear 22. A push plate 28 is slidably connected to the bottom of the worktable 1, and the push plate 28 is connected to the push rod. In conjunction with 27, a plurality of first connecting rods 29 are rotatably connected to one side of the push plate 28, and the bottom end of the first connecting rod 29 is rotatably connected to the top inner wall of the second frame 20. One side of the workbench 1 is provided with an inclined surface, through which the beef granules cut by the cutter 19 can be automatically discharged into the marinating box 2. The turntable 25 and the push rod 27 are driven to rotate by the cooperation of the reciprocating threaded rod 12, the gearbox 24 and the worm gear 23. The push rod 27 can push the push plate 28 to complete the cutting of the beef strips by the downward movement of the cutter 19. In addition, the installation of a corresponding number of push rods 27 can control the frequency of the up and down reciprocating movement of the cutter 19, thereby controlling the width of the beef granules cut.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first U-shaped frame 13 is fixed with a pressure plate 45 by bolts on the side near the second frame 20. The height of the pressure plate 45 matches the thickness of the beef. The pressure plate 45 can press the beef strips cut by the cutting blade 15, which makes it easier for the cutting blade 19 to cut the beef strips in one step later.

[0049] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The equipment also includes a processing structure set inside the marinating box 2 for automatically completing the marinating and drying of beef jerky, and the operation of the cutting structure can drive the processing structure; the processing structure includes a rotating column 33 rotatably connected to the top of the marinating box 2, multiple first screen plates 34 are fixed to the outer wall of the rotating column 33 by bolts, a one-way bearing 35 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating column 33, a first gear 36 is fixed to the outer wall of the one-way bearing 35, a moving rod 30 is slidably connected to the top of the worktable 1, the top of the moving rod 30 is rotatably connected to one side of the second frame 20 through multiple second connecting rods 31, and a Z-shaped tooth that meshes with the first gear 36 is fixed to one side of the moving rod 30 by bolts. The beef strip is slidably connected to the top of the workbench 1, and multiple heating elements 32 are fixed to the bottom inner wall of the marinating box 2 by bolts. When the cutter 19 and the second frame 20 move up and down to cut the beef strip, the second frame 20 drives the moving rod 30 and the Z-shaped rack 37 to move back and forth through the second connecting rod 31. Under the action of the one-way bearing 35, the Z-shaped rack 37 can drive the rotating column 33 to rotate continuously in one direction. The rotating column 33 drives multiple first screen plates 34 to rotate, which not only allows the beef to be fully marinated in the marinating box 2, but also allows the beef that falls from the workbench 1 to be immersed in the marinating slurry when the first screen plates 34 rotate.

[0050] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first screen plate 34 is placed at an angle on the outer wall of the rotating column 33. The end of the first screen plate 34 near the drying box 3 is lower, so that the beef scooped out by the first screen plate 34 can be placed into the marinating box 2. The cooperation between the first screen plate 34 and the sliding limit plate 41 can scoop up the marinated beef. The first screen plate 34 is in an inclined state at a certain angle. Therefore, during the rotation, the marinated beef falls along the inclined surface of the first screen plate 34 into the drying box 3, which is convenient for subsequent drying.

[0051] Reference Figures 7-9A second sieve plate 44 is slidably fitted inside the drying oven 3. A protruding plate 38 is welded to one side of the top of the pickling box 2. Multiple sliding rods 39 slide through the protruding plate 38. One end of each sliding rod 39 is fixed to the same sliding limiting plate 41, which is slidably connected inside the pickling box 2. A second spring 40 is fitted on the outer wall of each sliding rod 39, and both ends of the second spring 40 are fixedly connected to the sliding limiting plate 41 and the protruding plate 38 on their respective sides. Multiple second electromagnets 42 are bolted to the side of the protruding plate 38 near the sliding limiting plate 41, and multiple second magnets 43 are bolted to the side of the sliding limiting plate 41 near the protruding plate 38. The magnetic attraction between electromagnet 42 and second magnet 43 is greater than the elastic force of second spring 40. After the beef is marinated, the second electromagnet 42 is de-energized, and the elastic force of second screen plate 44 pushes sliding limit plate 41 to move to the left. First screen plate 34 touches sliding limit plate 41. As first screen plate 34 rotates, the cooperation between first screen plate 34 and sliding limit plate 41 can lift the marinated beef. First screen plate 34 is tilted at a certain angle. Therefore, during the rotation, the marinated beef falls along the inclined surface of first screen plate 34 into drying box 3. Then, hot air from hot air blown into drying box 3 through pipes to dry the marinated beef.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 12 Improvements based on Example 1: A movable push table 47 is slidably connected inside the drying oven 3. Multiple arc-shaped plates 48 slide through the movable push table 47 via pins. Multiple arc-shaped strips 46 are bolted to the bottom of the second screen plate 44, and the arc-shaped strips 46 cooperate with the arc-shaped plates 48 to drive the second screen plate 44 to vibrate up and down. A sliding block 55 is welded to one side of the movable push table 47. One side of the pressure plate 45 slides to one side of the drying oven 3. One end of the moving rod 30 is bolted to a connecting push rod 54. The connecting push rod 54 is slidably connected to the top of the workbench 1, and the end of the connecting push rod 54 away from the cutting blade 15 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 55. When the second frame 20 drives the moving rod 30 to move back and forth, the connecting push rod 54 and the sliding block 55 can drive the moving push table 47 to move synchronously. With the cooperation of the arc plate 48 and the arc strip 46, the second screen plate 44 is driven to vibrate up and down, so that the beef jerky on the second screen plate 44 is evenly distributed, and the beef jerky can also be turned over so that the beef jerky is fully dried.

[0054] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 12Multiple screws 49 rotate through the movable push table 47. The top of each screw 49 extends into the arc-shaped plate 48. A second gear 50 is fixed to the bottom of each screw 49. A U-shaped frame 51 is slidably connected to the bottom inner wall of the drying chamber 3 via a vertical plate. The second gear 50 is located inside the U-shaped frame 51. A second rack 52 is welded to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 51 on the side away from each other. The second rack 52 meshes with the second gear 50. A round rod 53 is welded to one side of the U-shaped frame 51. One end of the round rod 53 extends slidably to the outside of the drying chamber 3. The round rod 53 drives the U-shaped frame 51 to move, so that the second gear 50 meshes with the corresponding second rack 52. When the movable push table 47 moves back and forth, it drives the screws 49 to rotate forward and backward, controlling the raising and lowering of the arc-shaped plate 48. This controls the vibration amplitude of the second screen plate 44, allowing the beef jerky to be fully dried.

[0055] A method for using an integrated processing equipment for cutting, marinating, and drying beef jerky includes the following steps:

[0056] S1. When the first electromagnet 9 is energized, the magnetic attraction between the first electromagnet 9 and the first magnet 8 causes the L-shaped limiting plate 4 to move upward, placing the beef block on the worktable 1. When the first electromagnet 9 is de-energized, the elastic force of the first spring 7 pushes the L-shaped limiting plate 4 downward, and the rotating roller 5 can press the beef block. The reciprocating threaded rod 12 is driven to rotate by the motor (not shown in the figure), and the pusher plate 11 pushes the beef block to the right. The rotating shaft 14 and the cutting blade 15 are driven to rotate by the motor, and the cutting blade 15 initially cuts the conveyed beef block into beef strips.

[0057] S2. The reciprocating threaded rod 12 drives the worm gear 23 to rotate through the gearbox 24. The worm gear 23 drives the turntable 25 and push rod 27 to rotate through the worm wheel 22. During the rotation of the push rod 27, it pushes the push plate 28 to move to the right. The push plate 28 drives the second frame 20 and the cutter 19 to move downward through the first connecting rod 29. The cutter 19 cuts the beef strips horizontally again. In addition, by installing different numbers of push rods 27 in the turntable 25, the width of the beef strip cut can be controlled.

[0058] S3. The cut beef falls into the marinating box 2 via the inclined surface on one side of the workbench 1. The reciprocating movement of the second frame 20, through the cooperation of the second connecting rod 31, the moving rod 30, and the Z-shaped rack 37, drives the first gear 36 to reciprocate. Under the action of the one-way bearing 35, the first gear 36 drives the rotating column 33 to rotate in one direction. The rotating column 33 drives the multiple first screen plates 34 to rotate, which not only ensures that the beef is fully marinated in the marinating box 2, but also allows the beef falling from the workbench 1 to be submerged in the marinating solution when the first screen plates 34 rotate. In the slurry; after the beef is marinated, the second electromagnet 42 is de-energized, and the elastic force of the second screen plate 44 pushes the sliding limit plate 41 to move to the left. The first screen plate 34 touches the sliding limit plate 41. As the first screen plate 34 rotates, the cooperation between the first screen plate 34 and the sliding limit plate 41 can lift the marinated beef. The first screen plate 34 is tilted at a certain angle. Therefore, during the rotation, the marinated beef falls along the inclined surface of the first screen plate 34 into the drying box 3. Then, the hot air from the hot air blown into the drying box 3 through the pipe to dry the marinated beef.

[0059] S4. When the second frame 20 drives the moving rod 30 to move back and forth, it can drive the moving push table 47 to move synchronously through the connecting push rod 54 and sliding block 55. With the cooperation of the arc plate 48 and the arc strip 46, it drives the second screen plate 44 to vibrate up and down, so that the beef jerky on the second screen plate 44 is evenly distributed, and it can also turn the beef jerky over so that the beef jerky is fully dried.

[0060] S5. The round rod 53 drives the return frame 51 to move, so that the second gear 50 meshes with the corresponding second rack 52. When the moving push table 47 moves back and forth, it drives the screw 49 to rotate forward and backward, controls the lifting and lowering of the arc plate 48, and thus controls the vibration amplitude of the second screen plate 44, so that the beef jerky is fully dried.

[0061] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the second electromagnet 42, the heating element 32 and the first electromagnet 9 are commonplace and belong to conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
