Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beef processing technology, and in particular to a sealed storage tank for air-drying and fermenting beef. Background Technology

[0002] Beef air-drying and fermentation is a traditional process that enhances flavor and shelf life through the action of microorganisms. It is loved by consumers for its unique flavor, long shelf life and rich nutritional value. Beef air-drying and fermentation is a complex and delicate process that requires specific environmental conditions and the action of microorganisms to cause a series of physical and chemical changes in the beef, thereby forming a unique flavor and texture. In this process, the sealed storage tank is a key piece of equipment that plays a decisive role in the quality of the beef and the fermentation effect.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN220054962U discloses a sealed storage tank for beef air-drying and fermentation. This utility model sets the beef air-drying device below the sealed tank, and works with the sealing component to control the airflow in the sealed storage tank, shortening the beef jerky production process and improving production efficiency. The lifting component and the sealing cover are designed as an integral part, which can be suspended above the storage tank to ensure that the airflow can flow normally and smoothly. The rotating device drives the lifting device to seal the sealing cover and the storage tank, making the storage tank an independent sealed space. The sealing cover and the storage tank are fastened together by easy-to-click and rotating buckles to ensure the firmness and airtightness of the connection between the two.

[0004] While the aforementioned technology can ensure smooth airflow by suspending the sealing cap using a lifting assembly, in the actual air-drying process, the beef is placed in a fixed position, and the degree of contact between different parts and the airflow is different, making it difficult for the air to circulate fully and the air-drying speed to be slow. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve the ideal air-drying effect, resulting in large differences in the dryness and moisture content of different parts of the same piece of beef, which affects the taste and quality. Therefore, an innovation has been made in this technology. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 A sealed storage tank for air-drying and fermenting beef includes a base 1, a storage tank body 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1, a beef placement frame 3 inside the storage tank body 2, and a drive assembly 4 at the bottom of the beef placement frame 3. The drive assembly 4 includes a turntable 401 movably penetrating the inner wall of the storage tank body 2, a geared disc 402 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the turntable 401, and a gear 404 meshing with the inner wall of the geared disc 402. The bottom of the beef placement frame 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the turntable 401. The drive assembly 4 also includes a motor 403, and the bottom of the motor 403... The end is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the storage tank 2, and the gear 404 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 403. The set drive component 4 can drive the beef placement frame 3 to rotate. During the air drying process, the rotation of the beef allows all parts to be fully exposed to the wind force. The beef in different positions can be evenly contacted by the wind force generated by the fan 601, avoiding the situation of some areas being over-dried and some areas being under-dried when placed in a fixed position. This ensures that the overall dryness and moisture content of the beef is consistent, and improves the quality and taste of the beef products.

[0023] Reference Figure 2-4 Furthermore, the drive assembly 4 also includes a toggle assembly 5 on its top. The toggle assembly 5 includes sleeves 503 symmetrically installed on both sides of the inner wall of the storage tank 2, movable rods 504 slidably connected to the inner walls of adjacent sides of the two sleeves 503, multiple rotating shafts 505 fixedly installed at the bottom of the two movable rods 504, and toggle pieces 506 rotatably installed on the inner walls of the multiple rotating shafts 505. A viewing window 9 is embedded in the front of the storage tank 2. The toggle assembly 5 also includes two tension springs 507, an extension rod 501 fixedly installed at the middle of the top of the beef placement frame 3, and a cam 502 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the extension rod 501. One end of each of the two tension springs 507 is fixedly connected to the sleeves 503. One end of the inner wall and the other ends of the two tension springs 507 are fixedly connected to the ends of the adjacent movable rods 504. The outer wall of the cam 502 is movably connected to the adjacent movable rods 504. The cam 502 rotates and presses against the corresponding movable rods 504. During the pressing process, the rotating shaft 505 and the paddle 506 move to one side at the same time. When no force is applied, the tension of the tension spring 507 itself causes the movable rod 504 to return to its position. At this time, 506 contacts the beef and forms a paddle. By paddle, the position of the beef can be changed, so that the stacked and stuck beef can be separated, thereby improving the uniformity and thoroughness of air drying and making up for the problem of dead corners in air drying that may exist if the beef is rotated by itself.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2Furthermore, the base 1 also includes a drying assembly 6 at the top edge. The drying assembly 6 includes a fan 601 fixedly installed at the top of the base 1, a blower duct 602 fixedly connected to the output end of the fan 601, and multiple air outlets 603 fixedly penetrating the outer wall of the blower duct 602. The multiple air outlets 603 are all located on one side of the bottom of the beef placement frame 3. A sealing valve is installed on the blower duct 602. A vacuum pump 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage tank 2. The output end of the vacuum pump 8 is fixedly penetrating the interior of the storage tank 2. When the sealing valve is closed, it can maintain a vacuum environment inside the storage tank 2 and prevent external air from seeping in.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the storage tank 2 is equipped with a sealing assembly 7 on its top. The sealing assembly 7 includes a sealing cover 701 on the top of the storage tank 2, a mounting ring 702 fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing cover 701, multiple air outlets 703 symmetrically opened on the surface of the mounting ring 702, and a sealing gasket 704 fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting ring 702. The outer wall of the air outlet 703 is pressed and fitted against the inner wall of the storage tank 2. The sealing assembly 7 also includes buckles 705 symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the sealing cover 701 and retaining rings 706 symmetrically installed on the top of the outer wall of the storage tank 2. The outer walls of the two retaining rings 706 are engaged with the adjacent buckles 705. When the mounting ring 702 is leaving the interior of the storage tank 2, its air outlets 703 can allow air to pass through the interior of the storage tank 2, thereby promoting airflow. In the closed state, the sealing gasket 704 is pressed against the storage tank 2, and the retaining rings 706 are engaged with the buckles 705 to achieve a tight seal.

[0026] Working principle: In use, first place the beef to be air-dried on the beef placement frame 3, and cover the top of the storage tank 2 with the sealing cap 701 so that the mounting ring 702 does not contact the inner wall of the storage tank 2. This allows the air to circulate between the storage tank 1 and the outside through the air outlet 703 during the air-drying process, enhancing the air-drying effect. At this time, the blower 601 and motor 403 are driven to run simultaneously. The blower 601 generates air force, which is evenly guided to the bottom of the beef placement frame 3 through the air blowing pipe 602 and the air outlet 603. The motor 403 drives the gear 404 to rotate. When it meshes with the gear plate 402, it can drive the turntable 401 to rotate, thus driving the beef placement frame 3 installed at its bottom to rotate. With the extension rod 501 connected, the cam 502 rotates synchronously with the beef placement frame 3. When rotating, the cam 502 will reciprocate to push the movable rod 504 to extend and retract. The extension and retraction of the movable rod 504 drives the paddle 506 to move back and forth, thereby flattening the piled beef so that all parts of the beef can be exposed to the air force for uniform drying. The fan 601 is turned off, and the sealing component 7 is pressed so that the mounting ring 702 enters the storage tank 2. At this time, the sealing gasket 704 is pressed against the inner wall of the storage tank 2, and the retaining ring 706 and the buckle 705 are engaged to achieve a seal. Then, the vacuum pump 8 is driven to run to evacuate the inside of the storage tank 2 for storage.
