Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beef jerky production, in particular to a drying device for beef jerky production and processing. Background Art

[0002] Beef jerky is a dry and cooked meat product made mainly from fresh beef through processes such as pickling, sun-drying or drying, and smoking. By removing most of the water in the beef, it can be stored for a long time, and at the same time, the flavor of the beef is concentrated.

[0003] Existing devices for drying beef jerky mostly use a single-sided drying method. It is necessary to turn the beef jerky regularly and at fixed points to complete uniform drying. Otherwise, it will affect the overall taste of the beef jerky. Moreover, the above steps are not only time-consuming and laborious, but also prone to the situation that the operator is accidentally scalded, making it inconvenient to use.

Detailed implementation manners

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1-4 , a drying device for beef jerky production and processing, comprising a drying box 1, a drying component, a bearing component and a collection component. The drying box 1 is provided with a drying cavity with an opening on the front. The bearing component includes a motor 2, a turntable 3, a gear 4, a rack 5, a rotating shaft 6 and a hook 7. The output end of the motor 2 penetrates through the top wall of the drying box 1 and is connected to the turntable 3. Several groups of gears 4 are arranged on the upper edge of the turntable 3. A rotating shaft 6 penetrating through the turntable 3 is arranged below the gear 4. A hook 7 is arranged below the rotating shaft 6. A rack 5 meshing with the gear 4 is arranged on the inner wall of the drying cavity. The drying component includes a support cover 8, a pipe rack 9 and a heating pipe 10. The support cover 8 is arranged at the center of the bottom wall of the drying cavity. The support cover 8 is arranged below the turntable 3. Several groups of U-shaped pipe racks 9 are further arranged outside the support cover 8. A heating pipe 10 is arranged between the side walls of the two free ends of the pipe rack 9. A collection component is further arranged in the drying cavity. A hinged door 11 for closing the drying cavity is further arranged on the front of the drying box 1.

[0023] The drying box 1 constructs a closed working space for the whole device. The drying cavity inside is used to accommodate beef jerky and related drying components, bearing components, etc. The design with an opening on the front, combined with the hinged door 11 and the handle, enables the operator to conveniently open the door to put the marinated beef jerky in or take out the finished product after drying. The second legs 15 at the four corners below the drying box 1 firmly support the equipment on the ground, ensuring that during the whole drying process, the equipment will not affect the operation of the internal components due to shaking or imbalance, providing a basic condition for stable drying;

[0024] The motor 2 serves as the power source, and its output end penetrates through the top wall of the drying box 1 and is connected to the turntable 3. When the motor 2 is powered on and starts, it will drive the turntable 3 to start rotating. Multiple groups of gears 4 are arranged on the upper edge of the turntable 3 and will perform circular motion synchronously with the turntable 3. Since the rack 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the drying chamber, when the gears 4 revolve with the turntable 3, they continuously mesh with the rack 5. According to the meshing transmission principle of the gear 4 and the rack 5, the gears 4 roll along the rack 5, driving the turntable 3 not only to revolve around the center of the drying chamber but also, due to the rolling of the gears 4 themselves, causing the hooks 7 connected to the lower part of the turntable 3 through the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. That is to say, the beef jerky hanging on the hooks 7 can, on the one hand, perform circular motion around the center of the drying chamber and, on the other hand, flip itself at a certain position, enabling it to evenly contact the heat emitted by the drying components from all angles. Without manual intervention for flipping, the drying efficiency and uniformity are greatly improved;

[0025] The anti-detachment blocks 17 provided at the free ends of the hooks 7 use a blocking structure. When the beef jerky is hung on the hooks 7, even if the equipment vibrates or shakes during operation, the beef jerky is difficult to fall off the hooks 7, maintaining a stable hanging state and ensuring the smooth progress of the drying process;

[0026] The support cover 8 at the center of the bottom wall of the drying chamber provides a stable support for the entire drying component. The pipe rack 9 with a U-shaped outer side is distributed around the support cover 8, and the heating pipes 10 are installed between the side walls at the two free ends of the pipe rack 9. When the heating pipes 10 are powered on and start working, electrical energy is converted into heat energy, and the heating pipes 10 quickly heat up and emit heat in all directions. Since the pipe rack 9 is arranged in a circular layout, the heat can be evenly distributed in the drying chamber, comprehensively wrapping the beef jerky under the turntable 3, enabling all parts of the beef jerky to be evenly heated, achieving efficient drying, and avoiding local over-drying or dampness;

[0027] The waste liquid generated during drying is collected and transported through the collection component;

[0028] In this embodiment, the collecting assembly includes a first carrier plate 12 and a first leg 13 in an inverted U shape, a plurality of first legs 13 are arranged below the first carrier plate 12, the central opening of the first carrier plate 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the drying assembly, the first carrier plate 12 is provided with a guide groove adapted to the plurality of hooks 7, the first carrier plate 12 is arranged in an inclined manner, the bottom wall of the drying chamber is provided with a first card slot adapted to the first leg 13, the first carrier plate 12 is arranged on the back side of the drying chamber, the collecting assembly also includes an arc plate 14, the bottom wall of the drying chamber is provided with a second card slot adapted to the arc plate 14, the arc plate 14 is provided with a collecting groove, the two free end openings of the first carrier plate 12 are adapted to the upper opening of the collecting groove, the first carrier plate 12 in an inverted U shape is adapted to the first card slot of the bottom wall of the drying chamber through the first leg 13 below, and is stably placed on the back side of the drying chamber. The central opening of the first carrier plate 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the drying assembly, which does not affect the normal operation of the drying assembly and does not hinder the hanging of the beef jerky. The guide groove arranged on it is adapted to the hook 7. During the drying process of the beef jerky, the seeped blood, grease and other waste liquids flow along the guide groove under the action of gravity and converge into the inclined first supporting plate 12 to complete the initial collection. The inclined design can guide the waste liquid to flow in a specific direction to prevent accumulation in the plate. The arc-shaped plate 14 is precisely positioned with the help of the second card groove in the bottom wall of the drying chamber. The collection groove on it docks with the openings at the two free ends of the first supporting plate 12. The waste liquid flowing out of the first supporting plate 12 flows into the collection groove of the arc-shaped plate 14 to achieve secondary collection and convergence. Such a design not only prevents the waste liquid from scattering and polluting the drying chamber, but also facilitates the subsequent centralized transportation and treatment of the collected waste liquid, maintains the cleanliness of the interior of the drying device, and is conducive to continuous production.
