Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a fermentation equipment for dried meat. Background Technology
[0002] Air-dried meat is a unique type of meat product. During preparation, it is hung in a cool, shady place under natural or artificially controlled conditions to air-dry naturally. Fermentation can also be carried out during the air-drying process, resulting in a crisp texture and unique flavor, further enhancing its taste and quality.
[0003] However, existing fermentation equipment typically places the meat products to be fermented in a constant temperature chamber for fermentation and air drying. In this method, the meat products are suspended statically inside the chamber. Since the humidity and temperature of the meat products in different areas of the chamber are different, the same meat product will exhibit different air-dried and fermented flavors, which seriously affects the quality of the air-drying and fermentation process. Furthermore, putrefactive microorganisms usually grow during the air-drying process and accumulate inside the equipment over a long period of time, which also affects the quality of the air-drying and fermentation of the meat products and harms human health, thereby reducing the efficiency of the fermentation equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a meat drying fermentation device to solve the problem that existing fermentation devices usually place the meat products to be fermented in a constant temperature box for fermentation and air drying. However, in this fermentation method, the meat products are all suspended statically inside the constant temperature box. Since the humidity and temperature of the meat products in different areas of the constant temperature box are different, the same meat product will have different air-dried fermentation flavors, which seriously affects the air-dried fermentation quality of the meat products. Moreover, during the air-drying process, putrefactive microorganisms usually grow and accumulate inside the equipment over a long period of time, which will also affect the air-dried fermentation quality of the meat products and endanger human health.
[0005] This application provides a dried meat fermentation device. The device includes a base, with a fermentation unit fixedly mounted on its upper surface. A sealing door is hinged to the front of the fermentation unit. A ventilation mechanism is fixedly mounted on the left side of the fermentation unit's inner cavity, and a spraying mechanism is located on the right outer surface of the fermentation unit. An air-drying mechanism is located inside the fermentation unit, including a rotating lifting unit disposed within the base, and an oil-collecting unit is located below the rotating lifting unit.
[0006] In some embodiments, the ventilation mechanism includes a wind duct fixedly installed on the left side of the inner cavity of the fermentation equipment. A filter screen is installed on one side surface of the wind duct, and a cross-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall surface of the wind duct. A driving device is fixedly installed on the inner side surface of the cross-shaped frame, and a fan blade is fixedly installed at the output end of the driving device.
[0007] In some embodiments, the spraying mechanism includes a purification liquid tank fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base, a water pump is provided on one side of the purification liquid tank, and a water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the water outlet end of the water pump.
[0008] In some embodiments, a pressurizing device is fixedly connected to one end of the water outlet, and a spraying assembly is fixedly connected to the top surface of the pressurizing device, with both ends of the spraying assembly extending into the interior of the fermentation equipment.
[0009] In some embodiments, the rotary lifting unit includes a drive motor fixedly installed on the top surface of the fermentation equipment. A large turntable is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor. The large turntable is located at the top of the inner cavity of the fermentation equipment. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the large turntable. A fixing sleeve is installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft. A lifting frame is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixing sleeve.
[0010] In some embodiments, a second drive motor is fixedly installed at the top of the inner cavity of the lifting frame, a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor, a lifting plate is movably installed on the surface of the threaded rod, a mounting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting plate, a hook is movably connected inside the mounting plate, and air boxes are provided on both sides of the hook.
[0011] In some embodiments, the oil collection unit includes a drain hopper fixedly installed at the bottom of a fixed sleeve. A guide plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall surface of the drain hopper. An oil receiving hole is opened on the upper surface of the guide plate. A collection trough is provided below the drain hopper and at the bottom of the inner cavity of the fermentation equipment. A filter screen plate is snapped into the inside of the collection trough.
[0012] The above scheme involves hooking the dried meat onto the mounting plate using hooks. A drive motor rotates the large turntable, which in turn rotates the fixed sleeve. Simultaneously, a drive motor at the top of the lifting frame rotates the threaded rod, causing the lifting plate to move up and down reciprocally on the surface. Air drying and fermentation are then carried out using a bellows. Multiple hooks and bellows improve drying efficiency, and the simultaneous rotation and lifting further enhances processing efficiency. The drain hopper allows oil dripping during drying to slide down its outer surface into the collection tank. Oil dripping through the oil inlet into the guide plate is then discharged into the collection tank and filtered through the filter screen, improving recovery efficiency and overall equipment utilization.

[0025] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] First, it should be noted that the fermentation equipment in this application embodiment can be applied to the processing of dried meat products, or to other equipment, and this application does not limit it in this regard.
[0027] This application provides an air-dried meat fermentation device. Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the fermentation equipment in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the ventilation mechanism in some embodiments of this application. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the air-dried meat fermentation equipment includes a base 1, a fermentation device 2 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base 1, a sealing door 21 hinged to the front of the fermentation device 2, a ventilation mechanism 3 fixedly mounted on the left side of the inner cavity of the fermentation device 2, and a spraying mechanism 4 located on the outer right side of the fermentation device 2. An air-drying mechanism 5 is located inside the fermentation device 2, including a rotating lifting unit located inside the base 1, and an oil collection unit 6 located below the rotating lifting unit. The ventilation mechanism 3 includes a wind duct 31 fixedly mounted on the left side of the inner cavity of the fermentation device 2, and a spraying mechanism 4 is installed on one side of the wind duct 31. The filter screen 32 and the inner wall surface of the air duct 31 are fixedly connected to a cross-shaped frame 33. The inner side surface of the cross-shaped frame 33 is fixedly installed with a drive device 34. The output end of the drive device 34 is fixedly installed with a fan blade 35. The spraying mechanism 4 includes a purification liquid tank 41 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1. A water pump 42 is provided on one side of the purification liquid tank 41. A water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the water outlet end of the water pump 42. A pressurizing device 43 is fixedly connected to one end of the water outlet end. A spraying assembly 44 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the pressurizing device 43. Both ends of the spraying assembly 44 extend into the interior of the fermentation equipment 2.
[0028] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, when the drive device 34 drives the fan blade 35 to rotate forward, it will discharge the air inside the equipment to the outside. Secondly, when the drive device 34 drives the fan blade 35 to rotate in reverse, it can draw outside air into the equipment. During the drawing process, the air is filtered and purified by the filter screen plate 32 to prevent dust from entering. At the same time, through the joint cooperation of the pressurization device 43 and the water pump 42, the purification liquid in the purification liquid tank 41 is extracted and sprayed into the equipment by the spray assembly 44 to purify the internal odor and prevent the growth of microorganisms, which would affect the quality of the dried meat.
[0029] According to other embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rotary lifting unit includes a drive motor 51 fixedly installed on the top surface of the fermentation equipment 2. A large turntable 52 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 51. The large turntable 52 is located at the top of the inner cavity of the fermentation equipment 2. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the large turntable 52. A fixing sleeve 53 is installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft. A lifting frame 54 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixing sleeve 53. A drive motor 2 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner cavity of the lifting frame 54. A threaded rod 55 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 2. A lifting plate 56 is movably installed on the surface of the threaded rod 55. A mounting plate 57 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 56. A hook 58 is movably connected inside the mounting plate 57, and bellows 59 are provided on both sides of the hook 58.
[0030] In this embodiment, the dried meat is hooked by hook 58 and hung on the surface of the mounting plate 57. The drive motor 51 drives the large turntable 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed sleeve 53 to rotate. At the same time, the drive motor 2 at the top of the inner cavity of the lifting frame 54 drives the threaded rod 55 to rotate, so that the lifting plate 56 can move up and down and back and forth on its surface. Then, the air-drying and fermentation are carried out by the bellows 59. By setting several hooks 58 and bellows 59, the air-drying efficiency can be improved. At the same time, the simultaneous rotation and lifting helps to improve the processing efficiency.
[0031] According to other embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the oil collection unit 6 includes a drain hopper 61 fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed sleeve 53. A guide plate 62 is fixedly installed on the outer wall surface of the drain hopper 61. An oil receiving hole 63 is opened on the upper surface of the guide plate 62. A collection trough 64 is provided below the drain hopper 61 and at the bottom of the inner cavity of the fermentation equipment 2. A filter screen plate 65 is snapped into the inside of the collection trough 64.
[0032] In the technical solution of this embodiment, by using the drain hopper 61, the oil dripping during air drying will slide down along the outer surface of the drain hopper 61 and into the inside of the collection tank 64. At the same time, when it drips into the inside of the guide plate 62 through the oil receiving hole 63, it is then discharged from the drain hopper 61 into the inside of the collection tank 64 for collection and is filtered through the filter screen plate 65, which helps to improve the recovery efficiency.
[0033] The working principle of this air-dried meat fermentation equipment will be explained in detail below.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 4, firstly, the fermentation equipment 2 is opened through the sealed door 21. The dried meat is hooked onto the surface of the mounting plate 57 by the hook 58. The drive motor 51 operates, driving the large turntable 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed sleeve 53 to rotate. At the same time, the drive motor 2 at the top of the inner cavity of the lifting frame 54 drives the threaded rod 55 to rotate, so that the lifting plate 56 can move up and down reciprocally on its surface. Then, the air-drying and fermentation are carried out by the bellows 59. By setting several hooks 58 and bellows 59, the air-drying efficiency can be improved. At the same time, the simultaneous rotation and lifting helps to improve the processing efficiency. Secondly, when the drive device 34 drives the fan blade 35 to rotate forward, it will discharge the air inside the equipment to the outside. When the device reverses, it draws outside air into the equipment. During the drawing process, the air is filtered and purified by the filter screen 32 to prevent dust from entering. At the same time, the purification liquid in the purification liquid tank 41 is drawn out by the pressurization device 43 and the water pump 42 and sprayed into the equipment by the spray assembly 44 to purify the internal odor and prevent the growth of microorganisms. Then, the grease that drips during drying will slide down the outer surface of the drain hopper 61 and into the collection tank 64. At the same time, when the grease drips into the guide plate 62 through the oil receiving hole 63, it is discharged into the collection tank 64 by the drain hopper 61 for collection and is filtered by the filter screen 65, which helps to improve the recovery efficiency.
