Detailed Implementation Manner

[0020] The technical solution of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation manners.

[0021] Refer to Figures 1-8 , this embodiment provides an air drying device for beef jerky production, including a bracket assembly 1. There is a transfer assembly 2 for transferring beef jerky on the bracket assembly 1. An air drying assembly 4 for air drying beef is also installed on the bracket assembly 1. A loading assembly 3 for placing beef is installed on the transfer assembly 2. The transfer assembly 2 includes a motor 201 fixedly installed on the bracket assembly 1. A rotating frame 202 is splined to the output shaft of the motor 201. A connecting bearing ring 204 is rotatably installed on the rotating frame 202. A cylinder 203 is fixedly installed on the connecting bearing ring 204. The fixed end of the cylinder 203 is fixedly installed with the motor 201, and the output end of the cylinder 203 is fixedly installed with the connecting bearing ring 204. A counterweight 205 and a connecting head 206 are fixedly installed on the rotating frame 202.

[0022] The bracket assembly 1 includes four support columns 101. A bearing plate 102 is fixedly installed on the four support columns 101. A restricting seat 103 is fixedly installed on the bearing plate 102. A plurality of restricting plates 104 (the quantity is set according to requirements) are fixedly installed on the restricting seat 103. A plurality of restricting racks 105 (the quantity is set according to requirements) are also fixedly installed on the restricting seat 103. The restricting plates 104 are used to assist in fixing the material baffle 301, and the restricting racks 105 are used to assist in deflecting the material baffle 301.

[0023] The transfer assembly 2 includes a motor 201 fixedly installed on the bearing plate 102. A rotating frame 202 is splined to the output shaft of the motor 201. A connecting bearing ring 204 is rotatably installed on the rotating frame 202. Two cylinders 203 are fixedly installed on the connecting bearing ring 204. The fixed ends of the two cylinders 203 are respectively fixedly installed with the motor 201, and the output ends of the two cylinders 203 are respectively fixedly installed with the connecting bearing ring 204. A counterweight 205 for preventing tipping and a connecting head 206 for installing the loading assembly 3 are fixedly installed on the rotating frame 202.

[0024] During operation, the motor 201 starts to drive the rotating frame 202 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting head 206 to drive the loading assembly 3 to rotate, enabling the loading assembly 3 to reciprocally contact between the air-drying assembly 4 and the limiting seat 103. When pickled beef is placed in the loading assembly 3, the cylinder 203 starts to drive the connecting bearing ring 204 to move upward, thereby driving the rotating frame 202 to move upward, and then driving the loading assembly 3 to move, so that the loading assembly 3 locks the beef. Then, the motor 201 is started to drive the loading assembly 3 to move above the air-drying assembly 4. Then, the cylinder 203 is started to reset, so that the loading assembly 3 enters the air-drying assembly 4 and is air-dried by the air-drying assembly 4. After air-drying is completed, the cylinder 203 is continuously started to drive the loading assembly 3 to move upward. Then, the motor 201 is started to drive the loading assembly 3 to move onto the limiting seat 103. The cylinder 203 is continuously started to reset, driving the loading assembly 3 to move downward to cooperate with the limiting seat 103, the limiting plate 104, and the limiting rack 105 to take out the beef, thereby completing the air-drying of the pickled beef.

[0025] The loading assembly 3 includes a bearing cover 302 fixedly installed on the connecting head 206. A plurality of buckle bearing plates 303 (the number is set according to requirements) are fixedly installed on the bearing cover 302. Buckle columns 305 are respectively slidably installed on the plurality of buckle bearing plates 303. Springs 306 are respectively fixedly installed on the plurality of buckle columns 305. One end of the spring 306 is fixedly installed with the buckle column 305, and the other end is fixedly installed with the buckle bearing plate 303. Connecting rotating shafts 308 are respectively rotatably installed in pairs on the buckle bearing plates 303. A baffle plate 301 and two gears 304 are respectively fixedly installed on the plurality of connecting rotating shafts 308. The plurality of gears 304 are respectively intermittently engaged with the plurality of limiting racks 105. Exhaust holes for gas circulation are provided on both the baffle plate 301 and the bearing cover 302. Four buckle twists 307 and four material clamping columns 309 are respectively fixedly installed on the plurality of baffle plates 301. The buckle twist 307 cooperates with the notch of the buckle column 305 to assist in clamping the baffle plate 301, and the material clamping column 309 is used to assist in fixing the pickled beef.

[0026] During operation, the transfer component 2 drives the loading component 3 to move. When it moves to the limiting seat 103, the loading component 3 continues to move downward under the action of the transfer component 2. As a result, the buckle post 305 contacts the limiting seat 103, causing the buckle post 305 to move upward, so that the buckle post 305 no longer holds the buckle torsion 307. The loading component 3 continues to move downward, and the gear 304 meshes with the limiting rack 105, causing the baffle 301 to deflect, so that the baffle 301 abuts against the limiting plate 104. Then, pickled beef is added to the baffle 301, and the pickled beef is simply punctured and fixed by the material clamping post 309. After adding pickled beef to all the baffles 301, the transfer component 2 is started to drive the loading component 3 to move upward. When the loading component 3 moves upward, the limiting rack 105 causes the gear 304 to rotate, so that the baffle 301 abuts against the buckle bearing plate 303 and is simply fixed by the buckle torsion 307 and the buckle post 305. The loading component 3 continues to move upward, and the limiting seat 103 no longer presses the buckle post 305. The buckle post 305 resets under the action of the spring 306, causing the buckle post 305 to move upward, so that the notch of the buckle post 305 moves upward, so that the buckle post 305 catches the buckle torsion 307, so that the baffle 301 is caught by the buckle bearing plate 303, thus completing the placement of the pickled beef. After the placement of the pickled beef is completed, the transfer component 2 drives the loading component 3 to move into the air-drying component 4. The air-drying component 4 dries the beef, and after drying, the transfer component 2 moves the loading component 3 to the limiting seat 103 to remove the dried beef and place the pickled beef, thus completing the air-drying production of beef jerky.

[0027] The air-drying component 4 includes an air-drying frame 401 fixedly installed on the bearing plate 102 and four fan fixing rings 404. Fan impellers 405 for blowing are respectively installed on the four fan fixing rings 404. An air deflector 403 for air diversion is fixedly installed on the air-drying frame 401, and a fan driver 402 for providing a power source is also fixedly installed on the air-drying frame 401.

[0028] During operation, the transfer component 2 moves the loading component 3 into the air-drying frame 401. The fan driver 402 is started, causing the fan impellers 405 to rotate to blow air into the bearing cover 302, so that the beef is quickly dried, thus completing the air-drying production of beef jerky.

[0029] Working principle of a drying device for making beef jerky: During operation, place the marinated beef in the loading component 3. Drive the loading component 3 to move through the transfer component 2. When moving, the loading component 3 completes self-locking to fix the beef. Move the loading component 3 into the drying component 4 through the transfer component 2. Dry the beef in the loading component 3 through the drying component 4. After drying is completed, move the loading component 3 to the limiting seat 103 through the transfer component 2. When moving to the limiting seat 103, the loading component 3 completes unlocking, and then remove the dried beef and add new marinated beef, thus completing the drying process of the beef.
