Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pork jerky processing technology, and in particular to a color-developing process for nitrate-free pork jerky and its low-temperature moisture-controlled drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Pork jerky is a popular snack food among consumers. With the development of my country's economy, people's demands for the quality, safety, flavor, and taste of pork jerky are becoming increasingly diverse. The production process of pork jerky is relatively complex and strict. It uses fresh pork hind leg meat, removing the skin, fat, and tendons, and using the whole piece of pure lean meat as the basic raw material, which is then sliced ​​into thin slices. The pork jerky needs to be dried during the processing.

[0003] However, existing drying equipment usually uses high-temperature drying, which is not conducive to the color development of pork jerky. Furthermore, it is usually inconvenient to turn the pork over during the drying process, which reduces the uniformity and effectiveness of drying. In addition, the loading and unloading of pork is not convenient, which reduces work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a color-developing process for nitrate-free pork jerky and its low-temperature water-controlled drying device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A color-developing process for nitrate-free pork jerky, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1: Select lean pork chunks from the hind leg, slice them, then hydrolyze them using a complex protease, and then mix and marinate them.

[0008] S2: Vacuum tumbling is performed on the marinated pork, and then the pork is placed in a low-temperature moisture-controlled drying device for drying;

[0009] S3: The dried pork is smoked, and the smoked pork is then cooled, sliced, tested, and packaged to produce the finished product, which is then inspected for compliance.

[0010] A low-temperature moisture-controlled drying device for nitrate-free pork jerky includes a base plate, a drying chamber fixedly connected to the upper end of the base plate, a cover that mates with the drying chamber, an exhaust mechanism on the top of the cover, an installation frame inside the drying chamber, four installation mechanisms connected to the cover on the installation frame, the four installation mechanisms being arranged in a rectangular pattern, a movable frame inside the installation frame, two movable grooves on the side wall of the movable frame, a snap-fit ​​mechanism connecting to the installation frame inside each of the two movable grooves, two pull rings fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable frame, three placement mechanisms inside the movable frame, an installation cavity inside the movable frame, a linkage mechanism inside the installation cavity, a device groove on the inner wall of the installation frame, a drive mechanism inside the device groove, and three air blowing pipes arranged on the inner wall of the drying chamber, each air blowing pipe housing a low-temperature fan.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the exhaust mechanism includes an exhaust pipe connected to the upper end of the box cover, and an exhaust fan is installed on the exhaust pipe.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the mounting mechanism includes a mounting rod that is vertically disposed through the mounting frame, and a fixing nut is threaded onto the mounting rod, the fixing nut being located below the mounting frame.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the placement mechanism includes a first mesh plate and a second mesh plate, the first mesh plate and the second mesh plate being rotatably connected by a hinge, the second mesh plate being provided with a fixing structure, the fixing structure including a fixing block fixedly connected to the second mesh plate, an insert rod being provided through the fixing block, the insert rod being slidably connected to the fixing block, an insert ring cooperating with the insert rod being fixedly connected to the first mesh plate, a tension spring being fitted on the insert rod, one end of the tension spring being connected to the fixing block, and the other end of the tension spring being connected to the insert rod, a first rotating rod and a second rotating rod being fixedly connected to both ends of the first mesh plate respectively, the first rotating rod being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the movable frame, and the second rotating rod passing through the movable frame and through the mounting cavity.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the linkage mechanism includes a first transmission wheel fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod located in the middle, and two other rotating rods fixedly sleeved with second transmission wheels, the second transmission wheels and the first transmission wheel being driven by a transmission belt.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a motor mounted on the inner wall of the device groove, the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, and the end of the rotating rod located in the middle is provided with a connecting groove that cooperates with the connecting rod.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the locking mechanism includes a locking block disposed in the movable groove, and a locking hole that cooperates with the locking block is provided on the inner side wall of the mounting frame.

The snap-fit ​​mechanism can fix the movable frame to the mounting frame, ensuring the stability of the movable frame.

[0020] By setting up a placement mechanism and a driving mechanism, the connecting rod is driven to rotate by a motor, which in turn drives the second rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the first screen plate to rotate. This allows the pork between the first and second screen plates to rotate simultaneously, thus turning the pork over while it is drying. This ensures that the pork dries evenly and improves the color development effect.

[0021] By setting up a linkage mechanism, the three placement mechanisms can be linked together, enabling them to rotate synchronously without the need for excessive driving components, thus simplifying the structure.

[0022] By setting up an exhaust mechanism and starting the exhaust fan, the moisture generated inside the drying chamber during the drying process can be discharged in a timely manner, preventing moisture from accumulating inside the drying chamber and adversely affecting the drying of pork.

[0023] This invention allows for the turning of pork during the drying process, ensuring uniform drying and improving color development. It also makes loading and unloading the pork more convenient and improves work efficiency. Attached Figure Description
