The resulting smoke contains fewer particulate matter and harmful substances such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, thereby reducing pollution. When the drive motor drives the transmission shaft through the transmission, the transmission shaft drives the hooks on each layer carrying the bacon to rotate. This rotation exposes the contact surfaces of the densely distributed bacon to the smoke, allowing the smoke to evenly and fully interact with all parts of the bacon.

[0016] 2. This environmentally friendly, automated bacon smoking machine utilizes the horizontal expansion and contraction of a scissor-style telescopic frame to evenly distribute the smoke outlets beneath each layer of bacon. This allows smoke to be evenly ejected upward toward the bacon. As the smoke rises, it easily enters the central bacon area of each layer, addressing the problem of insufficient smoke contact between the central bacon and the outer layers. Furthermore, the rotation of the bacon further improves the uniformity of smoke contact between the bacon and the smoke. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: an environmentally friendly and automated bacon smoking machine, comprising a smoking chamber 1 and a hanger assembly 7, a driving motor 4 is provided on the top of the smoking chamber 1, the hanger assembly 7 comprises a hanger column frame 701 placed inside the smoking chamber 1, and a top plate 702 is provided on the top of the hanger column frame 701, a middle plate 703 is provided in the middle of the hanger column frame 701, a transmission shaft 704 is passed through the middle of the inner wall of the middle plate 703 and the top plate 702, and a plug-in slot 705 is provided on the top of the transmission shaft 704, a main sprocket shaft 706 is provided on the upper and lower parts of the outer wall of the transmission shaft 704, and a secondary sprocket shaft 707 is distributed in an array inside the top plate 702 and the middle plate 703, and the main sprocket shaft 706 and the outer wall of the secondary sprocket shaft 707 and the secondary sprocket shaft 707 are connected. The outer wall is provided with a transmission chain 708, and the bottom of the secondary sprocket shaft 707 is connected with a hook 709. A distribution chamber 2 is provided on the side of the smoking chamber 1, and the side of the distribution chamber 2 is connected to the smoke generator 3 through a pipeline. The bottom of the driving motor 4 is connected to the electric telescopic rod 5, and the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 5 is connected to the square head column 6. The secondary sprocket shaft 707 is rotatably connected to the middle plate 703 and the top plate 702, and the hook 709 is located below the middle plate 703 and the top plate 702. The outer mouth structure of the square head column 6 is adapted to the inner mouth structure of the plug-in slot 705, and the plug-in slot 705 is located directly below the square head column 6. The hook 709 and the secondary sprocket shaft 707 are arranged one to one, and the hook 709 is transmission-connected to the main sprocket shaft 706 through the secondary sprocket shaft 707 and the transmission chain 708; The specific operation is as follows: the processed bacon is densely hooked on the hooks 709 at the bottom of the middle plate 703 and the top plate 702 in sequence, and the hanger column frame 701 is pushed to carry the middle plate 703, the top plate 702 and the hooked bacon into the smoking chamber 1. The position of the hanger column frame 701 is adjusted so that the insertion groove 705 on the surface of the top plate 702 is directly below the square head column 6. Then, the electric telescopic rod 5 is extended to drive the square head column 6 downward so that it is inserted into the insertion groove 705. Then, the door panel of the smoking chamber 1 is closed. Sawdust is added to the smoke generator 3 and heated by electric heating in a low-oxygen environment to cause pyrolysis without combustion, thereby generating smoke. The smoke enters the smoking chamber 1 through the pipe, and at the same time, the driving motor 4 drives the transmission shaft 704 to rotate through the electric telescopic rod 5 and the square head column 6. The main sprocket shafts 706 at the upper and lower ends of the transmission shaft 704 rotate accordingly and drive a part of the secondary sprocket shafts 707 to rotate through the transmission chain 708. These secondary sprocket shafts 707 drive the remaining secondary sprocket shafts 707 to rotate through another batch of transmission chains 708. When each secondary sprocket shaft 707 rotates, it drives the hook 709 to rotate the bacon. By causing the bacon to rotate, the surfaces of the bacon that are in contact with each other can be rotated to an angle that allows them to come into contact with the air, so that the smoke can evenly and fully contact and react with all parts of the bacon. The connection between the transmission chain 708 and the main sprocket shaft 706 and the secondary sprocket shaft 707 can refer to the bicycle chain transmission structure. It can also be further configured so that one transmission chain 708 is used between two adjacent sprocket shafts, and the two adjacent transmission chains 708 are arranged in an upper and lower manner and sleeved on the main sprocket shaft 706 and the secondary sprocket shaft 707 to prevent the occurrence of insufficient wrap angle problem. When the drive motor 4 drives the transmission shaft 704 to rotate, the main sprocket shafts 706 at both ends of the transmission shaft 704 are respectively located inside the middle plate 703 and the top plate 702, thereby realizing the rotation of the secondary sprocket shafts 707 inside the middle plate 703 and the top plate 702, thereby making the bacon distributed above and below all rotate. The drive motor 4 adopts a speed-regulating motor, and the rotation speed of the bacon can be automatically controlled by controlling the output speed of the drive motor 4; Furthermore, fan blades can be provided on the outside of the electric telescopic rod 5. When the driving motor 4 drives the electric telescopic rod 5 to rotate, the fan blades can also be driven to rotate. The fan blades rotate slowly along with the bacon to guide the rising smoke flow. Fans are provided on both sides of the top of the inner wall of the smoking chamber 1 to further guide the smoke to flow downward, so that the smoke can fully stay in the smoking chamber 1. Based on the above description, the present invention uses electric heating to pyrolyze wood chips in a low-oxygen, high-temperature environment without burning to produce smoke. The generated smoke contains fewer particulate matter and harmful substances such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, thereby reducing pollution. When the drive motor 4 drives the transmission shaft 704 to rotate through transmission, the transmission shaft 704 can drive the hooks 709 of each layer to carry the bacon to rotate, so that the contact surfaces between the densely distributed bacon are exposed to the smoke through rotation, thereby allowing the smoke to evenly and fully contact and react with various parts of the bacon.

[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a through hole 8 is provided on the side of the smoking chamber 1, and the smoking chamber 1 is connected to the distribution chamber 2 through the through hole 8. A smoke outlet assembly 9 is provided inside the distribution chamber 2. The smoke outlet assembly 9 of the distribution chamber 2 includes a scissor-type telescopic frame 901 and a smoke outlet pipe 902. The smoke outlet pipe 902 is provided on the upper surface of the scissor-type telescopic frame 901. The number of smoke outlet pipes 902 is not one, and the surface of the smoke outlet pipe 902 is uniformly provided with smoke outlet holes. The scissor-type telescopic frame 901 is respectively located at the bottom height of the hanger column frame 701 and above the middle plate 703, and the outside of the scissor-type telescopic frame 901 is wrapped with a corrugated sleeve. The specific operation is as follows: when the smoke enters the interior of the smoking chamber 1 through the pipe, the smoke enters the interior of the distribution chamber 2, and is diverted to each smoke outlet pipe 902 by the distribution chamber 2. The scissor-type telescopic frame 901 is activated to carry the smoke outlet pipe 902 and extend horizontally. The smoke outlet pipe 902 is a hose, so that each smoke outlet pipe 902 is located below each layer of bacon. Then, the smoke is ejected upward through the holes on the surface of the smoke outlet pipe 902, cooperating with the rotating bacon, so as to further improve the uniformity of the bacon contacting the smoke, so that the bacon located in the middle of each layer can also be in contact with sufficient smoke to react, thereby preventing the bacon located in the middle of each layer from being blocked by the bacon on the outer layer and affecting the smoke flow to the middle; After the smoking is finished, the scissor-type telescopic frame 901 is retracted and reset, so that the smoke outlet pipe 902 is retracted into the through hole 8, and then the door panel is opened to facilitate manual removal of the bacon. When the scissor-type telescopic frame 901 is extended and retracted, the corrugated sleeve on its outside is also extended and retracted. The corrugated sleeve can prevent the telescopic structure of the scissor-type telescopic frame 901 from being exposed, thereby preventing the part from being in contact with smoke for a long time and causing negative effects, such as rusting. Based on the above description, the present invention utilizes the horizontal extension of the scissor-type telescopic frame 901 so that the smoke outlet holes of the smoke outlet pipe 902 can be evenly distributed under each layer of bacon, so that the smoke can be evenly sprayed upward toward the bacon, and in the process of rising smoke, it can easily enter the area where the bacon is located in the middle position of each layer, thereby solving the problem of insufficient contact between the bacon in the middle area and the smoke due to the obstruction of the outer layer of bacon, and cooperating with the rotation of the bacon to further improve the uniformity of the contact between the bacon and the smoke.

[0022] In summary, when the environmentally friendly automated bacon smoking machine is used, the processed bacon is first densely hooked on the hooks 709 at the bottom of the middle plate 703 and the top plate 702 in sequence, and the hanger column frame 701 is pushed to carry the middle plate 703, the top plate 702 and the hooked bacon into the smoking chamber 1. The position of the hanger column frame 701 is adjusted so that the insertion groove 705 on the surface of the top plate 702 is directly below the square head column 6. Then, the electric telescopic rod 5 is extended to drive the square head column 6 to descend so that it is inserted into the insertion groove 705, and then the door panel of the smoking chamber 1 is closed. Sawdust is added to the smoke generator 3 and heated by electric heating in a low-oxygen environment to cause pyrolysis without combustion, thereby generating smoke, which enters the smoking chamber 1 through a pipe. When smoke enters the smoking chamber 1 through the pipe, it enters the distribution chamber 2 and is diverted to each smoke outlet pipe 902 by the distribution chamber 2. The scissor-type telescopic frame 901 is activated to carry the smoke outlet pipe 902 and extend horizontally. The smoke outlet pipe 902 is a hose, so that each smoke outlet pipe 902 is located below each layer of bacon. Then, the smoke is ejected upward through the holes on the surface of the smoke outlet pipe 902, so that the bacon located in the middle of each layer can also come into contact with sufficient smoke to react, thereby preventing the bacon located in the middle of each layer from being blocked by the bacon on the outer layer and affecting the smoke flow to the middle. At the same time, the driving motor 4 drives the transmission shaft 704 to rotate through the electric telescopic rod 5 and the square head column 6, and the main sprocket shafts 706 at the upper and lower ends of the transmission shaft 704 rotate accordingly and drive a part of the secondary sprocket shafts 707 to rotate through the transmission chain 708. These secondary sprocket shafts 707 drive the remaining secondary sprocket shafts 707 to rotate through another batch of transmission chains 708. When each secondary sprocket shaft 707 rotates, it drives the hook 709 to rotate the bacon. By causing the bacon to rotate, the surfaces of the bacon that are in contact with each other can be rotated to an angle that can contact the air, so that the smoke can evenly and fully contact and react with all parts of the bacon. When the drive motor 4 drives the transmission shaft 704 to rotate, the main sprocket shafts 706 at both ends of the transmission shaft 704 are located inside the middle plate 703 and the top plate 702 respectively, thereby realizing the rotation of the secondary sprocket shafts 707 inside the middle plate 703 and the top plate 702, thereby making the bacon layers distributed above and below all rotate; After the smoking is completed, the scissor-type telescopic frame 901 contracts and resets, so that the smoke outlet pipe 902 retracts into the through hole 8, and then the door panel is opened to facilitate manual removal of the bacon. When the scissor-type telescopic frame 901 is extended or retracted, the corrugated sleeve on its outside also extends or retracts. The corrugated sleeve can prevent the telescopic structure of the scissor-type telescopic frame 901 from being exposed, so as to prevent this part from being in contact with smoke for a long time and having a negative impact.
