Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ham air-drying technology, and in particular to a temperature and humidity control device for ham air-drying fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] Fermentation in a temperature- and humidity-controlled fermentation chamber is an essential part of ham processing. The fermentation chamber has built-in sensors to monitor the fermentation status of the ham. In existing fermentation chambers, after the ham is hung inside, the oil droplets produced during fermentation fall to the ground and accumulate. If not treated for a long time, they will breed bacteria. At the same time, hanging the ham is also inconvenient. Therefore, a temperature and humidity control device for ham air-drying fermentation is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention mainly addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a temperature and humidity control device for the air-drying and fermentation of ham.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution, including a temperature-controlled room. An air exchanger is installed outside the temperature-controlled room to control the airflow inside. A hanging rack for suspending hams is horizontally mounted inside the temperature-controlled room. A mounting clip is fitted onto the outside of the mounting rack. An adjusting handle is fixedly installed on the front surface of the mounting clip. A locking cavity is opened on the rear side of the mounting clip, the opening size of which is larger than the outer diameter of the mounting rack. A hanging column is fixedly installed below the mounting clip. Equally spaced locking holes are opened on the surface of the hanging column, and threads are opened on the inner wall of the locking holes. A recycling tank is also placed on the bottom surface of the temperature-controlled room. The overall length of the recycling tank is the same as the length of the mounting rack, and the recycling tank contains a liquid that absorbs grease.

[0005] Furthermore, the outer surface of the mounting column is fitted with a mounting sleeve one and a mounting sleeve two, with the mounting sleeve two located above the mounting sleeve one. The outer surfaces of both the mounting sleeve one and the mounting sleeve two are provided with positioning screw holes corresponding to the inner diameter of the locking hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the external mounting sleeve 2 has two symmetrically positioned mounting hooks 1, the ends of which curve upwards to form a semi-circular structure.

[0007] Furthermore, two symmetrical hanging hooks are fixedly installed on the outside of the first hanging sleeve. The end shape of the second hanging hook is the same as that of the first hanging hook, and the lateral length of the second hanging hook is greater than that of the first hanging hook.

[0008] Furthermore, a locking bolt is inserted into the positioning screw hole. After the second mounting sleeve and the first mounting sleeve are fitted onto the outside of the mounting column, the locking bolt passes through the positioning screw hole and is inserted into the locking socket for locking.

[0009] This invention provides a temperature and humidity control device for the air-drying and fermentation of ham, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. A temperature and humidity control device for air-drying and fermenting ham, comprising a detachable hanging sleeve 1 and a hanging sleeve 2. Hanging hooks 2 and 1 are fixedly installed on the outside of the hanging sleeves 1 and 2 and then fitted onto the outside of a hanging column. The prepared ham is hung in the grooves at the tail of the hanging hooks 1 and 2. After adjusting the distance between the hanging sleeves 1 and 2 according to the length of the ham, the hanging sleeves 1 and 2 are positioned by inserting bolts through the positioning screw holes into the locking holes and rotating to lock them in place. The different lengths of the hanging hooks 2 and 1 ensure that adjacent hams do not overlap after hanging, reducing the amount of oil dripping from the upper ham during fermentation that adheres to the outside of the lower ham, facilitating the collection of dripping oil. Simultaneously, the detachable hanging sleeves 1 and 2 allow for hanging hams of different lengths, greatly improving the adaptability of the device.

[0011] 2. A temperature and humidity control device for ham air-drying and fermentation, comprising a set of mounting brackets with adjustable handles fixedly installed on the outer surface of the brackets. A threaded groove for docking is formed on the lower surface of the brackets, and a hanging column is inserted and fixed to the lower part of the brackets. The prepared hams are hung on both sides of the hanging column using hanging sleeves one and two. The adjustable handle is then used to secure the entire set of brackets to the outside of the hanging frame. After being fitted into the mounting frame, the brackets can be adjusted laterally, allowing for easy adjustment of the distance between the hams. During the ham fermentation process, airflow is maintained between adjacent hams to keep them dry. This device is simple to operate when storing and retrieving hams, and compared to existing hanging frames, the spacing between hams can be adjusted freely, greatly improving the efficiency of ham air-drying and fermentation.

[0018] A temperature and humidity control device for the air-drying and fermentation of ham, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the system includes a temperature-controlled room 1. An air exchanger is installed outside the temperature-controlled room 1 to control the airflow inside. Inside the temperature-controlled room 1, a hanging rack 3 for suspending hams is horizontally mounted. A mounting clip 9 is fitted onto the outside of the mounting rack 3. An adjustable handle 10 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the mounting clip 9. A locking cavity 11 is opened on the rear side of the mounting clip 9. The opening size of the locking cavity 11 is larger than the outer diameter of the hanging rack 3. A hanging column 5 is fixedly installed below the mounting clip 9. The surface of the hanging column 5 has equidistantly arranged locking holes 8. The inner wall of the locking holes 8 is threaded. A recycling pool 4 is also placed on the bottom surface of the temperature-controlled room 1. The overall length of the recycling pool 4 is the same as the length of the hanging rack 3. The recycling pool 4 contains liquid that absorbs grease. Grease dripping during the ham fermentation process is collected in the recycling pool 4 to prevent it from falling to the ground and becoming difficult to clean.

[0019] The hanging column 5 is externally fitted with a hanging sleeve 6 and a hanging sleeve 7. The hanging sleeve 7 is located above the hanging sleeve 6. The outer surfaces of both the hanging sleeve 6 and the hanging sleeve 7 are provided with positioning screw holes 13 that correspond to the inner diameter of the locking hole 8. The hanging sleeve 7 is externally fixed with two symmetrical hanging hooks 12. The ends of the hanging hooks 12 are curved upward to form a semi-circular structure. The finished ham is hung in the grooves at the ends of the two hanging hooks 12 through the two hanging hooks 12. The hung ham is easy to put into the temperature control room 1 later.

[0020] The external fixed installation of the mounting sleeve 16 has two symmetrical mounting hooks 15. The end shape of the mounting hooks 15 is the same as that of the end shape of the mounting hooks 12. The lateral length of the mounting hooks 15 is greater than that of the mounting hooks 12, so that there is a gap between the upper and lower parts of the hams mounted on the outside of the mounting sleeve 16 and the mounting sleeve 27, which reduces the dripping of grease from the upper ham onto the lower ham, and facilitates the absorption of grease after dripping.

[0021] A locking bolt 14 is inserted into the positioning screw hole 13. After the second hanging sleeve 7 and the first hanging sleeve 6 are fitted onto the outside of the hanging column 5, the locking bolt 14 passes through the positioning screw hole 13 and is inserted into the locking socket 8 for locking. After the ham is hung on the outside of the first hanging sleeve 6 and the second hanging sleeve 7, the fitting clip 9 is pulled by adjusting the handle 10 to fit onto the outside of the hanging frame 3, so that the ham can be suspended inside the temperature control room 1. During the fermentation process, the ham is monitored by the monitoring equipment inside the temperature control room 1 to maintain a stable fermentation environment.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model:

[0023] By using detachable hanging sleeves 6 and 7, and fixing hanging hooks 15 and 12 to the outside of the hanging sleeves 6 and 7, respectively, the finished hams are hung in the grooves at the tail of the hanging hooks 12 and 15. After adjusting the distance between the hanging sleeves 6 and 7 according to the length of the ham, the hanging sleeves 6 and 7 are positioned by inserting bolts through the positioning screw holes 13 into the locking holes 8 and rotating to lock them. The different lengths of the hanging hooks 15 and 12 ensure that the hams do not overlap when hung, reducing the amount of oil dripping from the upper ham during fermentation and making it easier to collect the dripping oil. At the same time, the detachable hanging sleeves 6 and 7 can easily hang hams of different lengths, greatly improving the adaptability of the device.

[0024] The adjustable handle 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the mounting bracket 9 by means of a suspended mounting bracket 9. A threaded groove for docking is opened on the lower surface of the mounting bracket 9. The hanging column 5 is inserted and fixed to the lower part of the mounting bracket 9. After the ham is hung on both sides of the hanging column 5 by the first hanging sleeve 6 and the second hanging sleeve 7, the entire mounting bracket 9 is clamped on the outside of the hanging frame 3 by holding the adjustable handle 10. After the clamping cavity 11 is fitted on the hanging frame 3, it can be adjusted and slid laterally. After hanging, it is convenient to adjust the distance between the hams. During the ham fermentation process, air circulation is maintained between adjacent hams to keep the hams dry. This device is simple to operate when storing and retrieving hams. Compared with the existing hanging frame, the spacing of the hams can be adjusted at will, which greatly improves the efficiency of ham drying and fermentation.

[0025] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
