Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a smoking device for meat product processing. Background Art

[0002] Meat smoking is a common processing technology for meat products. The smoked meat products can be preserved for a long time and can also add a special flavor (bacon). For this reason, smoked meat products are also deeply loved by consumers.

[0003] To increase the smoking efficiency of meat products, existing smoking equipment is available, such as the structure described in patent application number CN201921056234.2, entitled "Smoking Equipment for Bacon Processing." This equipment includes a housing with an opening and closing door, multiple hooks for hanging meat products, and a flue pipe connected to the housing. The flue pipe directs processed smoke from the outside into the housing, where it smokes the meat products inside, completing the smoking process.

[0004] In the above patent, only a single layer of hooks is provided in the box, and the number of meat products hung is limited. At the same time, after the smoke enters the box, it will be quickly discharged from the discharge port of the box. The smoke stays in the box for a short time, resulting in a low utilization rate of the smoke. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a smoking device for meat processing, which can increase the residence time of smoke in a box and improve the utilization rate of smoke.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: a smoking device for meat processing, comprising a box body provided with an opening and closing box door, the box body being connected to a flue pipe for introducing smoke and an air outlet pipe for discharging smoke, the flue pipe being arranged near the lower part of the box body, the air outlet pipe being arranged near the upper part of the box body, and at least one intercepting component being arranged in the air outlet pipe,

[0007] The interception assembly includes a movable plate, a limit block and a spring. The movable plate is hinged in the air outlet duct. The spring is located between the movable plate and the inner wall of the air outlet duct. The limit block is fixed to the inner wall of the air outlet duct and is used to limit the swing range of the movable plate.

[0008] Principle of this utility model:

[0009] Place the meat product to be smoked in the box, close the door, and make the box have a relatively sealed chamber; open the flue pipe, and introduce the treated smoke from the outside into the box at a certain flow rate. When the box is filled with smoke, the smoke will be discharged from the outlet pipe.

[0010] At this time, due to the presence of the intercepting component in the air outlet pipe, the smoke flow will generate squeezing pressure. When the squeezing pressure is not enough to offset the elastic force of the spring, the air outlet pipe may be in a basically closed state depending on the size of the movable plate. At this time, the smoke will not be discharged along the air outlet pipe, so that the smoke circulates in the box, improving the utilization rate of the smoke.

[0011] As the air pressure inside the box increases, the pressure exerted by smoke entering the air outlet pipe on the movable plate increases. When the pressure is large enough, it forces the movable plate to resist the elastic force of the spring, causing it to rotate inside the air outlet pipe. This rotation increases the flow area of ​​smoke inside the air outlet pipe, thereby "relieving pressure" inside the box. When the pressure exerted on the movable plate is less than the elastic force of the spring, the movable plate will rotate, passing through the limit block, so that the air flow area inside the air outlet pipe is minimized. This process is repeated, extending the residence time of smoke in the box as much as possible and increasing the utilization rate of smoke.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the present invention blocks the flow rate of smoke in the box by arranging an interception component in the air outlet pipe, thereby increasing the residence time of smoke in the box as much as possible to improve the utilization rate of smoke.

[0013] Furthermore, a placement rack is provided in the box, which includes a vertically arranged rotating shaft and multiple load-bearing plates. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box. The multiple load-bearing plates are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. Each load-bearing plate is fixed to the rotating shaft, and multiple hooks are provided at the bottom of each load-bearing plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a gap is set between the circumferential side wall of each load-bearing plate and the inner wall of the box, and each load-bearing plate is provided with a plurality of air holes, and the plurality of air holes on two adjacent load-bearing plates are staggered.

[0015] Furthermore, an annular air vent is provided under each load-bearing plate, an annular recessed groove is provided at the upper end of the support block, a plurality of balls are provided in the recessed groove, and each ball is in rolling contact with the lower end of the load-bearing plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the box body is arranged at an angle, and a discharge pipe is provided at the inclined lower end of the bottom of the box body, and the discharge pipe is communicated with the outside.

[0017] Furthermore, a rotating seat is provided at the top and the bottom of the box body, the two rotating seats are arranged opposite to each other, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the two rotating seats respectively. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a smoking device for meat processing includes a box body 1. The box body 1 of the present application adopts a cylindrical cavity structure, a feed port is opened on the front side of the box body 1, and a box door for use is set at the position of the feed port of the box body 1. The box door and the box body 1 are opened and closed by hinges, and a door lock is provided between the box door and the box body 1 to achieve conduction between the inside and outside of the box body 1.

[0023] The box 1 is used to place meat products for smoking. In order to realize the smoking operation of the meat products in the box 1, the box 1 of the present application is connected with a flue pipe 13 for introducing smoke and an air outlet pipe 14 for leading out smoke. Figure 1 As shown, the flue pipe 13 is arranged near the lower part of the box body 1, and the flue pipe 13 is used to introduce the treated smoke. The smoke processing operation is carried out with reference to the structure recorded in the patent application number CN202311320499.X to ensure that the dust particles in the smoke are basically processed and avoid major air pollution problems after the smoke is discharged from the box body 1.

[0024] The smoke entering the housing 1 smokes the meat products therein. To increase the residence time of the smoke within the housing 1, the outlet duct 14 of the present application is positioned near the upper portion of the housing 1, and at least one interception assembly is provided within the outlet duct 14. The interception assembly can be positioned at the end of the outlet duct 14 or within the inner cavity of the outlet duct 14. The number of interception assemblies can be one or multiple, evenly distributed along the length of the outlet duct 14. Alternatively, there can be two interception assemblies, with the two interception assemblies positioned opposite each other within the outlet duct 14.

[0025] In this application, the air outlet pipe 14 is a square pipe, and the number of interception components is two, and the two interception components are arranged oppositely in the air outlet pipe 14. Specifically, Figure 1 、 2As shown, each interception assembly includes a movable plate 141, a limit block 142 and a spring 143. The limit block 142 is located on the left side of the movable plate 141. The movable plate 141 is hinged to the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 14 by a pin shaft so that the movable plate 141 can swing back and forth along the position shown in the figure. The spring 143 is a tension spring. One end of the spring 143 is connected to the movable plate 141, and the other end of the spring 143 is fixed to the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 14.

[0026] Principle of this utility model:

[0027] The meat product to be smoked is placed in the box 1, and the door is closed to make the box 1 have a relatively sealed chamber; the flue pipe 13 is opened, and the treated smoke from the outside is introduced into the box 1 at a certain flow rate. When the box 1 is filled with smoke, the smoke is discharged from the outlet pipe 14.

[0028] At this time, due to the presence of the intercepting component in the air outlet pipe 14, the flow of smoke will generate a squeezing force. When the squeezing force is insufficient to offset the elastic force of the spring 143, the air outlet pipe 14 may be in a substantially closed state depending on the size of the movable plate 141. At this time, the smoke will not be discharged along the air outlet pipe 14, so that the smoke circulates in the box body 1, thereby improving the utilization rate of the smoke.

[0029] As the air pressure inside the box 1 increases, the pressure exerted by smoke entering the air outlet pipe 14 on the movable plate 141 increases. When the pressure is large enough, the movable plate 141 resists the elastic force of the spring 143, causing the movable plate 141 to rotate inside the air outlet pipe 14. This rotation of the movable plate 141 increases the flow area of ​​smoke inside the air outlet pipe 14, thereby "relieving pressure" inside the box 1. When the pressure exerted on the movable plate 141 is less than the elastic force of the spring 143, the movable plate 141 rotates, and the limit block 142 is used to limit the air flow area inside the air outlet pipe 14. This process is repeated to extend the residence time of smoke inside the box 1 as much as possible, thereby increasing the utilization rate of smoke.

[0030] The utility model provides an interception component through the air outlet pipe 14 to block the flow rate of the smoke in the box body 1, thereby increasing the residence time of the smoke in the box body 1 as much as possible, thereby improving the utilization rate of the smoke.

[0031] In order to facilitate the placement of meat products of different structures in the box body 1, a placement rack is provided in the box body 1 of the present application, such as Figure 1As shown, the placement rack includes a vertically arranged rotating shaft 2 and multiple bearing plates 3. The rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box body 1. The top and bottom of the box body 1 are each provided with a rotating seat 11. The two rotating seats 11 are arranged opposite each other, and the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 2 are respectively rotatably connected to the two rotating seats 11 (rotatably connected via bearings). Each bearing plate 3 is a circular plate structure. Multiple bearing plates 3 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction, and each bearing plate 3 is fixed to the rotating shaft 2. Each bearing plate is provided with multiple hooks 31 at the bottom. During use, depending on the shape of the meat product (strips, blocks, slices, etc.), the meat product can be placed on the bearing plate 3, or the meat product can be fixed using the hooks 31 (hook-shaped or ring-shaped). Since the rotating shaft 2 is rotatably arranged, during use, each bearing plate 3 can be rotatably arranged to facilitate the loading and unloading of the meat product.

[0032] In order to improve the flow of smoke in the box 1 and further increase the residence time of smoke in the box 1, as Figure 1 As shown, a gap is provided between the circumferential sidewalls of each bearing plate 3 of the present invention and the inner wall of the box body 1. Each bearing plate 3 is provided with a plurality of air holes 32, and the plurality of air holes 32 on two adjacent bearing plates 3 are staggered. The staggered air holes on adjacent bearing plates 3 can divert smoke multiple times, slowing the flow rate of smoke from bottom to top within the box body 1, further increasing the residence time of smoke within the box body 1, and improving the utilization rate of smoke.

[0033] Since meat products need to be placed on each load-bearing plate 3, the force on each load-bearing plate 3 increases. In order to improve the deformation resistance of each load-bearing plate 3, the present application also provides an annular support block 4 under each load-bearing plate 3. The annular support block and the rotating rod can provide support points on the "inside and outside" sides of the load-bearing plate 3, thereby increasing the deformation resistance of the load-bearing plate 3.

[0034] Since the weight of the load-bearing plate 3 increases after the meat products are hung on it, the rotational resistance of the load-bearing plate 3 increases. To reduce the rotational resistance of the load-bearing plate 3, the present application provides an annular recessed groove at the upper end of each support block 4. The recessed groove is provided with a plurality of balls 41, and each ball 41 is in rolling contact with the lower end of the load-bearing plate 3. The cross-section of the recessed groove is hemispherical to better fit the structure of the balls 41. The presence of the balls 41 reduces the frictional resistance between the load-bearing plate 3 and the support blocks 4, thereby reducing the rotational resistance of the load-bearing plate 3 and facilitating the use of each load-bearing plate 3.

[0035] During the smoking process of meat products, it is inevitable that oil and water will drip under the action of smoke. In order to facilitate the convergence of oil and water in the box body 1, the bottom of the box body 1 of the present application is set at an angle, and a discharge pipe 12 is provided at the inclined lower end of the bottom of the box body 1. The discharge pipe 12 is connected to the outside. The setting of the discharge pipe 12 facilitates the discharge of oil and water in the box body 1. Of course, when smoking meat products in the box body 1, a pipe cover can be provided at the mouth of the discharge pipe 12 to reduce the loss of smoke. The discharge pipe 12 can be closed with the pipe cover. After the smoking is completed, the pipe cover can be opened to discharge the oil and water. At the same time, the presence of the discharge pipe 12 can also facilitate the discharge of cleaning waste water when the interior of the box body 1 is cleaned.
