Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air-drying chambers for air-dried chicken, and more specifically, it relates to an air-drying chamber for air-dried chicken. Background Art
[0002] In the existing food air-drying technology, the process of air-drying chicken often relies on natural air-drying methods. Although this traditional method is simple and natural, there are many uncontrollable factors, which may have an adverse impact on the quality and efficiency of air-dried chicken. First of all, natural air-drying depends on environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed. The changes in these conditions are unpredictable, resulting in an unstable air-drying process. As a result, the air-drying time becomes longer, and it may take several days or even weeks to achieve the ideal air-drying effect. This long air-drying cycle not only prolongs the time for the product to be on the market but also increases the risk of food being contaminated during the air-drying process.
[0003] Secondly, in order to overcome the limitations of natural air-drying, some technologies use fans to accelerate the air-drying process. However, the structural design of these devices is often too simple and lacks effective protection measures. When using a fan for air-drying, due to the accelerated air flow, dust and insects in the surrounding area may be brought into the air-drying chamber, thereby contaminating the chicken and affecting the hygienic quality of the product.
[0004] In addition, some devices in the prior art are equipped with filter cartridges to filter foreign matters such as dust and insects.

Then, reinstall the air-drying rack 24 into the slide rail 26 through the handle 29 again. Then, close the opening and closing door 30 provided at the bottom. Then, turn on the fan 23 provided inside the air-drying chamber 1. The fan 23 sucks air from the top of the air-drying chamber 1. The air will first pass through the filter bin 3, and thus the large-particle sundries and foreign matters such as insects will be filtered and blocked by the filter bin 3. Then, the air that has passed through the coarse filtration will be transported into the air-drying chamber 1 through the fan 23. Then, the air will enter the filter cylinder 5 through the diversion pipe 4 for fine filtration. The filter cylinder 5 can filter and intercept the fine-diameter foreign matters such as dust in the air. Then, the filtered air will dry the chicken hung on the lower part of the air-drying rack 24. Then, these air will finally be discharged through a plurality of air outlet holes 25 provided on the side wall of the air-drying chamber 1. The dried moisture will drip downward due to gravity and then enter the collection bin 27 provided below.
