Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, specifically, it relates to an oil draining structure for food smoking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, food smoking equipment plays a vital role in the food processing industry. It not only adds unique flavor and color to food, but also serves to prevent spoilage and extend shelf life.

[0003] However, during the smoking process of meat, fish, and other foods, the smoking flavorings can be applied to the meat or fish in various ways, such as immersion, placement, spraying, and injection. These methods ensure that the smoking flavorings penetrate the food evenly and deeply. However, when using the spraying method, the smoking flavorings are sprayed onto the inner wall of the oven, causing them to accumulate and flow irregularly along the inner wall, resulting in contamination. Additionally, during smoking, the oil in the meat and fish evaporates upon heating and adheres to the inner wall; when it accumulates excessively, it also flows along the inner wall. Simultaneously, the smoke often flows from bottom to top, causing excessive moisture mixed with oil and grease to accumulate around the upper side walls of the oven. Since the oil and moisture on the food surface drip or splash onto the inner wall of the smoking oven after heating, this is also a significant source of oil stains. Therefore, after prolonged use, cleaning the inner wall of the oven becomes difficult, affecting food hygiene and health.

[0004] Existing smoking equipment usually has an oil collection tray at the bottom to collect the oil produced during the smoking process. However, after a long period of use, oil stains accumulate on the inner wall of the smoking equipment, making it difficult to clean and resulting in a large amount of cleaning work, which also affects food safety.

[0005] A Chinese patent application with application number CN2024210427680 discloses a meat smoking device that improves the effect of full contact between different parts of the meat product and the surface of the smoke, improves the uniformity of smoking, and improves the smoking quality of the meat product. It includes a box and a grid, with an opening on the outer wall of the box and the grid installed on the lower part of the inner wall of the box. It also includes a drive device, a smoke exhaust device, a filter device, a rotating shaft, multiple sets of support shafts, and multiple sets of mesh boxes. The bottom end of the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the top of the grid, and the top end of the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the top of the inner wall of the box. Multiple sets of support shafts are rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and multiple sets of mesh boxes are mounted on the multiple sets of support shafts. Each set of mesh boxes has a pick-and-place port on its outer wall. The drive device is mounted on the box and is used to drive the rotating shaft and support shafts to rotate. The smoke exhaust device is connected to the inside of the box and is used to transport the smoke into the inside of the box. The filter device is also connected to the inside of the box.

[0006] However, the patent does not include an oil drain device on the inner wall, so it cannot facilitate cleaning of the inner wall. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an oil drainage structure for food smoking equipment with a simple overall structure that can guide and drain oil stains on the inner wall of the smoking equipment during food processing, allowing them to flow to a unified location for cleaning, reducing cleaning difficulty, enhancing food processing hygiene, and improving the effectiveness of use.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] An oil drainage structure for a food smoking equipment includes a top wall, with drainage side plates fixedly installed downwards at both ends of the top wall. The drainage side plates are arranged at an incline with the top wall. Multiple staggered drainage grooves are provided near the lower end of the drainage side plates. A water receiving plate is rotatably connected to the lower end of the drainage side plates. Drainage components are provided at both ends of the side where the water receiving plate is rotatably connected to the drainage side plates.

[0010] The following are further optimizations of the above technical solution by this utility model:

[0011] The drainage channel includes multiple staggered slots located near the lower end of the drainage side plate. The slots are rectangular, and concave plates are fixedly installed at both ends of the rectangular slots. The concave plates are arranged at an angle to the lower edge of the slot.

[0012] Further optimization: An opening plate is fixedly installed between the two concave plates, and the lower side of the opening plate is also fixedly installed on the lower groove edge of the slot.

[0013] Further optimization: A sludge receiving plate is fixedly installed on one side of the lower end of the drainage side plate, and the water receiving plate is rotatably installed on the sludge receiving plate.

[0014] Further optimization: A horizontal sewage trough is fixedly installed on the other side of the lower end of the drainage side plate.

[0015] Further optimization: The surface of the water receiving plate near the top wall is provided with multiple evenly distributed ribs, and water troughs are formed between pairs of ribs. Water outlet pipes are fixedly installed at both ends of the water receiving plate near the sewage receiving plate, and the water outlet pipes are connected to the water troughs.

[0016] Further optimization: The drainage component includes a water-receiving cylinder located below one end of the waste-receiving plate, and a water-draining pipe is connected to the lower surface of the water-receiving cylinder.

[0017] Further optimization: The waste receiving plate and the horizontal waste receiving trough are both connected to the vertical waste receiving trough, and the water receiving cylinder is fixedly installed on the vertical waste receiving trough.

[0018] This utility model adopts the above-mentioned technical solution, with ingenious conception and reasonable structure. It can guide the oil and liquid mixture adhering to the inner wall of the equipment during food processing using smoking equipment, avoiding the mixture from leaving flowing marks on the inner wall of the equipment that are difficult to clean. After the smoking equipment is used, only the water receiving plate and the drainage side plate need to be cleaned. At the same time, it prevents oil from dripping onto the food and causing certain damage to the food quality, thereby improving the processing quality of the food, thereby improving production efficiency. It is safe, reliable, easy to operate, and has a simple overall structure, which is convenient to manufacture and produce, reducing production and use costs and increasing economic benefits.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown: An oil drainage structure for food smoking equipment includes a top wall 11. Both ends of the top wall 11 are fixedly installed with downward-facing drainage side plates 2. The drainage side plates 2 are inclined to the top wall 11. Multiple staggered drainage grooves 21 are provided near the lower end of the drainage side plates 2. A water receiving plate 4 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the drainage side plates 2. Drainage components are provided at both ends of the side where the water receiving plate 4 is rotatably connected to the drainage side plates 2.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the oil drain structure is installed at the top of the oven body 1 of the smoking equipment. In this embodiment, a heat exchanger is also installed at the top of the oven body 1. In the smoking equipment, the heat exchanger works in conjunction with the heating and smoking systems. When the heating system is working, the heat exchanger absorbs and transfers heat to ensure that the smoking chamber reaches a suitable temperature for food processing. At the same time, during the smoking stage, the heat exchanger also helps to distribute the smoke evenly, allowing a layer of smoky flavor and color to be evenly applied to the surface of the food.

[0027] The heat exchanger is located between two flow-in side plates 2 through the top wall 11. Therefore, during the operation of the heat exchanger, too much condensate mixed with oil and dirt will accumulate on the inner wall near the heat exchanger in the furnace body 1.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the drainage channel 21 includes a plurality of staggered slots 210 formed near the lower end of the drainage side plate 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, the slot 210 is rectangular, and concave plates 211 are fixedly installed at both ends of the rectangular slot 210. The concave plates 211 are arranged at an angle to the lower edge of the slot 210.

[0030] An opening plate 212 is fixedly installed between the two concave plates 211, and the lower side of the opening plate 212 is also fixedly installed on the lower groove edge of the slot 210.

[0031] With this design, the opening plate 212 and the drainage side plate 2 are arranged at an angle, and an opening groove is formed between the upper side of the opening plate 212, the two concave plates 211 and the drainage side plate 2, and the opening direction of the opening groove is to open towards the two drainage side plates 2 away from each other.

[0032] The mixed oil stains on the surfaces of the two drainage side plates 2 that are far apart from each other enter from the opening direction of the drainage groove 21 and flow down to the opposite surfaces of the two drainage side plates 2.

[0033] A sludge receiving plate 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the lower end of the drainage side plate 2, and a water receiving plate 4 is rotatably installed on the sludge receiving plate 3.

[0034] A horizontal sludge trough 5 is fixedly installed on the other side of the lower end of the drainage side plate 2.

[0035] With this design, the mixed oil on the drainage side plate 2 flows downwards into the sludge receiving plate 3 and the horizontal sludge trough 5, thus draining the mixed oil.

[0036] In this embodiment, the water receiving plate 4 is rotated through a hole-shaft connection. When the two water receiving plates 4 are rotated to the horizontal position, a stop block is set, which is not shown in the figure, so that the two water receiving plates 4 are always in the horizontal position to receive the oil stains dripping from the top wall 11.

[0037] The use of a hole-shaft fit to achieve rotation is a well-known and commonly used structure, and will not be elaborated here.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the water receiving plate 4 near the top wall 11 is provided with multiple evenly distributed ribs 41, and water troughs 42 are formed between two pairs of ribs 41, and the oil stains are guided by the water troughs 42 to flow.

[0039] A baffle is also fixedly installed at the edge of the water receiving plate 4 to prevent oil from flowing from the water receiving plate 4 to the outside.

[0040] Water outlet pipes 43 are fixedly installed at both ends of the water receiving plate 4 near the sewage receiving plate 3. The water outlet pipes 43 are also connected to the water tank 42 and are located below the sewage receiving plate 3.

[0041] The drainage assembly includes a water-receiving cylinder 44 located below one end of the sewage receiving plate 3, and a water-draining pipe 45 is connected to the lower surface of the water-receiving cylinder 44.

[0042] The other end of the water pipe 45 is connected to the oil storage device, which is not shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the oil storage device is located at the bottom of the furnace body 1. This is a conventional setting and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] With this design, the oil and sludge mixture in the water receiving plate 4 enters the water receiving cylinder 44 through the water outlet pipe 43, and then enters the oil storage device through the water inlet pipe 45 for unified treatment.

[0044] Both ends of the receiving plate 3 and the horizontal receiving trough 5 are connected to the vertical receiving trough 6. The water receiving cylinder 44 is also fixedly installed on the vertical receiving trough 6. The vertical receiving trough 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the furnace body 1.

[0045] The other end of the vertical sludge tank 6 is also connected to an oil storage device.

[0046] With this design, the oil and sludge mixture on the receiving plate 3 and the horizontal receiving sludge tank 5 flows into the corresponding vertical receiving sludge tank 6, and then enters the oil storage device for unified treatment.

[0047] For those skilled in the art, any changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made to the embodiments based on the teachings of this utility model, without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
