Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air-drying equipment technology, and in particular to an air-drying equipment for meat product processing. Background Technology

[0002] Meat drying equipment is a specialized device for dehydrating, drying, and enhancing the flavor of meat products. Its working principle primarily relies on an air circulation system, controlling temperature, humidity, and airflow to achieve effective drying of the meat. This type of equipment plays a crucial role in the modern meat processing industry due to its ability to improve the freshness and flavor of meat products. A typical drying unit includes a fan, heater, humidity controller, and air filtration system. The fan powerfully circulates air to accelerate moisture evaporation, while the heater provides the necessary heat to promote the drying process. Furthermore, the humidity controller monitors and regulates the humidity in the air to prevent meat quality loss due to over-drying. In the processing of meat products, air drying not only improves the texture and flavor but also inhibits microbial growth and extends shelf life.

[0003] In most existing meat processing drying devices, meat products are placed directly inside the device. Since the ventilation openings are mostly located on one side, uneven drying can easily occur during the drying process. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a drying device for meat processing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A meat product drying device includes a drying chamber, a support plate fixedly connected inside the drying chamber, a turntable rotatably connected to the top of the support plate, a rotating mechanism for rotating the turntable on the top of the turntable, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the top of the turntable, an air duct fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, a guide chamber sleeved on the top of the connecting plate and fixedly connected inside the drying chamber, a second air inlet fixedly connected to the top of the guide chamber, three constraint grooves on the top of the turntable, hanging plates rotatably connected inside each of the three constraint grooves, multiple hooks fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the three hanging plates, and a rotating mechanism for rotating the hooks on the top of each of the multiple hanging plates. The arrangement of the hanging plates helps to prevent uneven drying of the meat products.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the rotating mechanism includes a first gear ring, which is sleeved on the top of the turntable. A first gear is fitted on the surface of the first gear ring, and a motor is fixedly connected to the top of the first gear. The motor is fixedly connected to the top of the drying chamber. The turntable can be rotated by the first gear.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft, which is fixedly connected to the top of the hanging tray. A second gear is sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft, and a second toothed ring is fitted on the surface of the second gear. The second toothed ring is fixedly connected to the top side inside the drying chamber. The hanging tray can be rotated by the setting of the second toothed ring.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a first air inlet is provided on one side of the drying chamber, and an air outlet is provided on the side of the drying chamber away from the first air inlet. A pre-treatment chamber is fixedly connected to the side of the air outlet away from the first air inlet. Multiple support frames are fixedly connected inside the pre-treatment chamber, and the multiple support frames are arranged in three groups. A drying box is slidably connected to the top of the air outlet. The air outlet, the pre-treatment chamber, and the drying chamber are interconnected. Through the setting of the pre-treatment chamber, meat products can be pre-dried.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. This utility model, by employing a rotating mechanism that uses a hanging tray to drive the meat products, avoids uneven drying of the meat products. This effectively solves the problem of uneven drying caused by the fact that most ventilation openings in the device are located on one side. The hanging tray is installed at the bottom of the turntable, allowing for more even drying of the meat products when the turntable rotates. A second gear is installed at the top of the hanging tray, which engages with a second gear ring inside the drying chamber. When the support plate drives the hanging tray to rotate, the tray also rotates on its own axis, thus removing the meat products from the inside of the tray and preventing uneven drying. An air duct is also installed at the center of the hanging tray for further drying of the meat products. Attached Figure Description
