Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ham fermentation technology, and in particular to a novel constant-temperature ham fermentation rack. Background Technology
[0002] Fermentation is an essential step in ham production. Ham fermentation is usually carried out in a spacious, well-ventilated, and dry place. Hams are typically hung densely on fermentation racks in the fermentation warehouse. Existing fermentation racks usually have multiple hanging poles, but because the top poles are too high, ladders or other climbing tools are needed to lift the hams to the top for hanging. Since hams are relatively heavy, hanging them is quite strenuous. In addition, workers climbing ladders while holding hams can easily cause safety accidents. Therefore, a new type of constant-temperature ham fermentation rack is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art and provide a new type of constant temperature ham fermentation rack.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution, including a mounting frame. A partition cavity is provided inside the lower part of the mounting frame. Corresponding drive shafts are movably mounted on both the left and right sides of the mounting frame. Wheels are mounted at both ends of each drive shaft. Transport tracks are fitted around the four drive shafts. The surface of the transport tracks facing inwards from the mounting frame is rough. A horizontal rod is provided between two transport tracks. Isolation clips are installed at equal intervals on the outside of the horizontal rod. A threaded post is installed below each isolation clip. A mounting hook is fitted onto the threaded post portion below the isolation clip. The two ends of the mounting hook are upturned for mounting the prepared ham. A protruding mounting platform is provided on the left rear wall of the mounting frame. A drive motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting platform. The drive motor is linked to the drive shafts installed inside the lower part of the mounting frame.
[0005] Furthermore, the transport track has equidistantly arranged insert studs fixedly installed on the side surface away from the inside of the mounting frame, and the top of the insert studs has a threaded column structure for fitting and fixing nuts.
[0006] Furthermore, a limiting bracket is inserted and installed on the outside of the insert stud. The inside of the limiting bracket is designed with a groove. The bottom of the limiting bracket has a mating hole groove corresponding to the size of the top of the insert stud. The insert stud is inserted into the corresponding mating hole groove and fixed by a nut.
[0007] Furthermore, the limiting card seat is provided with a disassembly and assembly plate on its exterior. The size of the disassembly and assembly plate corresponds to the opening size of the limiting card seat. The disassembly and assembly plate is fixedly installed with docking columns on both ends of one side of the limiting card seat.
[0008] Furthermore, both ends of the limiting bracket are provided with docking holes corresponding to the outer diameter of the docking column, and the outer surface of the docking column is a rubber layer structure that is inserted into the corresponding docking hole.
[0009] Furthermore, after the two ends of the horizontal rod are inserted into the corresponding limiting brackets, they are secured by the disassembly and assembly plate, and the length of the horizontal rod is greater than the distance between the two corresponding limiting brackets.
[0010] This utility model provides a novel constant-temperature ham fermentation rack, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] 1. A novel constant-temperature ham fermentation rack, comprising a conveyor belt with traction, four drive shafts installed on the front and rear sides of the mounting frame, separated vertically, and a drive motor fixedly installed above the mounting platform. The output shaft of the drive motor is linked with the corresponding drive shaft. Transmission wheels are fitted at both ends of the drive shaft. The conveyor belt is fitted into the slots on the outside of the four transmission wheels and passes through the interior of the partition cavity to form a complete cycle. Then, the limit brackets are inserted into the studs on the surface of the conveyor belt. The crossbar is positioned between the two corresponding limit brackets and moves with the conveyor belt to the top of the mounting frame when the conveyor belt rotates. The ham is hung below the crossbar and can be automatically raised. This saves time and effort when hanging ham, eliminating the need for operators to use additional tools and greatly improving the loading and unloading efficiency of ham.
[0012] 2. A novel constant-temperature ham fermentation rack features a horizontal bar for easy assembly and disassembly. The horizontal bar is equipped with equidistantly arranged isolation clips. After the hanging hook is rotated and fixed onto the threaded post below the isolation clip, the finished ham is hung on the hook. The two ends of the horizontal bar are then inserted into corresponding limiting seats. The disassembly plate is then inserted into the corresponding connecting holes via two connecting columns. During the transport conveyor belt movement, the limiting seats raise the ham hanging below the horizontal bar. When the ham needs to be removed, the entire horizontal bar can be removed from the right side of the rack. The entire hanging and retrieval process is simple and effortless. The spacing between the hung hams is adjustable to accommodate hams of various sizes. Increasing the spacing between the hams keeps the fermentation process dry and prevents the hams from sticking together. Attached Figure Description

[0019] A new type of constant-temperature ham fermentation rack, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device includes a mounting frame 1. A partition cavity 2 is provided inside the lower part of the mounting frame 1. Drive shafts 14 corresponding to the upper and lower parts are movably installed on both the left and right sides of the mounting frame 1. Wheels are installed at both ends of the drive shafts 14. Transport tracks 7 are fitted on the outside of the four drive shafts 14. The surface of the transport tracks 7 facing the inside of the mounting frame 1 is rough. A horizontal rod 5 is provided between two transport tracks 7. Isolation clips 6 are installed on the outside of the horizontal rod 5 at equal intervals. Threaded columns are installed below the isolation clips 6. Hanging hooks 13 are fitted on the threaded column part below the isolation clips 6. The two ends of the hanging hooks 13 are upturned for hanging the prepared ham. A protruding mounting platform 3 is provided on the left rear wall of the mounting frame 1. A drive motor 4 is fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting platform 3. The drive motor 4 is linked with the drive shafts 14 installed inside the lower part of the mounting frame 1.
[0020] On the side surface of the transport track 7 away from the interior of the mounting frame 1, there are equidistantly arranged insert studs 15. The top of the insert stud 15 is a threaded column structure for fitting a fixing nut. A limit bracket 8 is inserted and installed on the outside of the insert stud 15. The inside of the limit bracket 8 is a groove design. The bottom of the limit bracket 8 has a mating hole groove 9 that corresponds to the size of the top of the insert stud 15. The insert stud 15 is inserted into the corresponding mating hole groove 9 and fixed by a nut. The overall size of the limit bracket 8 can be replaced as needed.
[0021] The limiting card seat 8 is provided with a disassembly and assembly card plate 10. The size of the disassembly and assembly card plate 10 corresponds to the opening size of the limiting card seat 8. The disassembly and assembly card plate 10 is fixedly installed with docking columns 11 at both ends of one side of the limiting card seat 8. The two ends of the limiting card seat 8 are provided with docking holes 12 that correspond to the outer diameter of the docking columns 11. The outer surface of the docking columns 11 is made of rubber and is inserted into the corresponding docking holes 12. The disassembly and assembly card plate 10 is inserted into the front side of the limiting card seat 8 by the two docking columns 11. The rubber layer on the surface of the docking columns 11 rubs against the inner wall of the docking holes 12 to prevent the disassembly and assembly card plate 10 from loosening after insertion.
[0022] After the two ends of the horizontal rod 5 are inserted into the corresponding limiting brackets 8, they are secured by the mounting plate 10. The length of the horizontal rod 5 is greater than the distance between the two corresponding limiting brackets 8. Then, the prepared ham is hung on both sides of the mounting hook 13.

The process of hanging the ham is simple and easy to operate.
[0023] The working principle of this utility model:
[0024] By setting a traction conveyor track 7, four drive shafts 14 are installed on the front and rear sides of the mounting frame 1, separated vertically. The drive motor 4 is fixedly installed above the mounting platform 3. The output shaft of the drive motor 4 is linked with the corresponding drive shaft 14. Transmission wheels are fitted at both ends of the drive shaft 14. The conveyor track 7 is fitted into the slots opened on the outside of the four transmission wheels and passes through the interior of the partition cavity 2 to form a complete cycle. Then, the limit card seat 8 is inserted into the insertion stud 15 opened on the surface of the conveyor track 7. The crossbar 5 is positioned between the two corresponding limit card seats 8. When the conveyor track 7 rotates, it moves with the conveyor track 7 to the top of the mounting frame 1. After the ham is hung below the crossbar 5, the hanging can be automatically raised. This saves time and effort when hanging ham, and no operator needs to use additional tools to complete the ham hanging operation, which greatly improves the loading and unloading efficiency of ham.
[0025] The horizontal rod 5 is designed for easy assembly and disassembly. Equivalently spaced isolation clips 6 are installed on the horizontal rod 5. After the hanging hook 13 is rotated and fixed onto the threaded post below the isolation clip 6, the finished ham is hung on the hanging hook 13. The two ends of the horizontal rod 5 are then inserted into the corresponding limiting brackets 8. The disassembly plate 10 is then inserted into the outside of the corresponding connecting hole 12 via two connecting pillars 11. During the movement of the conveyor belt 7, the limiting brackets 8 raise the ham hanging below the horizontal rod 5. When the ham needs to be removed, the entire horizontal rod 5 can be removed from the right side of the hanging frame 1. The entire hanging and retrieval process is simple and effortless. The gap between the hung hams is adjustable to accommodate hams of various sizes. Increasing the gap between the hams keeps the fermentation process dry and prevents the hams from sticking together.
