Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of draining water, and more specifically, it relates to a draining device for air-dried chickens. Background Art

[0002] A draining device for air-dried chickens is a device for air-drying and draining water, mainly used in the food processing industry, especially for meat processing, such as chicken breast meat, chicken leg meat, etc. This kind of device usually adopts air-drying and vibration technologies to accelerate the dehydration process of meat and improve the quality and efficiency of products.

[0003] In the existing technology, first, in some devices, the chickens cannot rotate evenly during the air-drying process, which may lead to uneven air-drying, affecting the product quality. And the device cannot rotate, resulting in the inability of water to flow in a specific direction and being difficult to drain. Second, in some devices, the air-drying speed slows down, prolonging the air-drying time. Vibration helps to improve the uniformity of air-drying. The lack of vibration may lead to uneven air-drying effect and affect the product quality. Without a vibration air-drying mechanism, the device will not be able to adapt to occasions with higher requirements for air-drying speed and uniformity. Finally, in some devices, it is impossible to adjust the vibration according to different chickens and air-drying stages, reducing the flexibility of the device. The vibration intensity cannot be finely adjusted, which may cause the vibration springs to be too tight or too loose, increasing the difficulty of maintenance and adjustment. The inability to adjust the pre-tightening force of the vibration springs may lead to unstable vibration effects, affecting the air-drying effect and product quality. Summary of the Utility Model
