[0022] The present application is described in detail below with reference to embodiments, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a beef jerky production and drying device, comprising:

[0024] Support frame 1, used to support the drying device;

[0025] The support frame 1 is a steel frame, the width of the steel frame is adapted to the width of the conveying device 2 , and the height of the steel frame is adapted to the height of the air-drying device 5 .

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 1 in the present application is a steel frame supported at four corners, and the support frame 1 can support the equipment required in the entire beef jerky production and drying process.

[0027] The conveying device 2 is installed at the upper end of the support frame 1, and includes a conveyor belt 7, a plurality of constant temperature control tubes 3 and a temperature detector 4. The constant temperature control tubes 3 are installed inside the conveying device 2, and the temperature detector 4 is installed on one side of the conveyor belt 7;

[0028] The constant temperature control tube 3 maintains a constant temperature on the conveyor belt 7 through electric heating, and the temperature detector 4 is used to detect the temperature on the conveyor belt 7.

[0029] It should be noted that the beef to be dried is placed on the conveyor belt 7, and the conveyor belt 7 continuously conducts heat to the conveyor belt 7 through the middle constant temperature control tube 3, so that the conveyor belt 7 can heat the beef at high temperature, and the constant temperature control tube 3 is an electric heating plate. A rotating tube for rotating the conveyor belt 7 is installed inside the conveyor belt 7, and the constant temperature control tube 3 is installed between the two rotating tubes.

[0030] An air drying device 5 is installed at the output end of the conveyor 2 so that the items output from the conveyor belt 2 fall directly into the air drying device 5. The air drying device 5 is used for air drying and dehumidification.

[0031] When the beef to be dried on the conveyor belt 7 is slowly transported to one end of the conveyor belt 7, it will fall from the end of the conveyor belt 7. The fallen beef directly enters the next air-drying device 5 for secondary air-drying.

[0032] The air-drying device 5 is a cylindrical structure with a hollow interior. A drum 9 is also provided inside the air-drying device 5. The diameter of the drum 9 is smaller than the cylindrical diameter of the air-drying device. There is a circular ring gap 10 between the drum 9 and the air-drying device 5. The air-drying device 5 extends into the interior of the drum 9 for air drying through an externally arranged fan. The drum 9 is provided with evenly distributed through holes 11.

[0033] A support frame 12 is also provided on the outside of the air-drying device 5. The support frame 12 is a rectangular steel frame structure. The support frame 12 is rotatably connected to the air-drying device 5, and two symmetrical groups of positioning pins 8 are also provided on the support frame 12.
