Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sausage casing processing technology, and in particular to a drying device for sausage casing outer wall auxiliary materials. Background Technology

[0002] Sausage casings are thin, film-like products made from the large or small intestines of livestock (such as pigs, sheep, and cattle) through processes like cleaning, scraping, and drying. Based on the type of livestock, sausage casings can be divided into pig casings, sheep casings, and cattle casings; based on the part of the intestine, they can be divided into small intestine casings and large intestine casings. Sausage casings are primarily used as the outer covering for sausages and stuffing containers, protecting them from contamination and spoilage during processing, storage, and transportation. They can also be made into gut, used to make tennis racket strings, bowstrings, musical instrument strings, and surgical sutures.

[0003] In existing technologies, during the production of sausage casings, auxiliary materials such as preservatives and antioxidants are sprayed onto the surface of the casings to enhance their performance or extend their shelf life. After spraying the auxiliary materials, the casings need to be evenly coated and dried to ensure that the auxiliary materials are fully integrated into the casings. In factory processing, the casings are formed in one step; they are not sent into the drying oven in sections for drying. Instead, they pass through the drying oven, and the drying process is completed by the time they pass through the oven. However, the casings cannot be turned over, and the heated surface inside the drying oven is relatively fixed, leading to uneven heating and affecting the production quality of the casings.

[0004] To address this issue, we propose a drying device for the outer wall of sausage casings to solve the problem in existing technologies where sausage casings are difficult to turn during factory production, resulting in uneven heating and affecting production quality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drying device for the outer wall of sausage casings, which solves the problem in the prior art that sausage casings are not easy to turn over in factory production, resulting in uneven heating of the sausage casings and affecting production quality.

[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a drying device for sausage casing outer wall excipients, comprising: a frame and a drying assembly;

[0007] The frame includes a box and several support frames. The support frames are long and have several semi-circular notches at the top. Each support frame is located inside the box.

The rotating end of the rotary joint is driven to rotate by a motor-controlled pulley group and rotating connector, so that the nozzles rotate around the outer surface of the sausage casings to blow air and dry the entire outer surface of the sausage casings. This solves the problem of uneven drying of sausage casings caused by fixed heating and drying parts.

[0018] 2. This utility model uses ultraviolet lamps to sterilize and disinfect sausage casings, improving the production quality of sausage casings.

[0035] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a drying device for sausage casing outer wall auxiliary materials, including: a frame 1 and a drying component 2;

[0036] The frame 1 includes a box body 10 and several support frames 11. Each support frame 11 is elongated and has several semi-circular notches at its upper end. Each support frame 11 is located inside the box body 10. The box body 10 is made of heat-insulating material to improve the heat insulation performance inside the box body 10. The two ends of the support frame 11 are connected to the front and rear inner side walls of the box body 10. The radius of the semi-circular notches at the upper end of the support frame 11 is the same as the outer diameter of the sausage casing that is fed into the box body 10. This is used to support the sausage casing and prevent it from drooping downwards due to gravity, which would result in uneven drying due to inconsistent distance from the heating source.

[0037] It should be noted that the cabinet 10 is also equipped with a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a control display screen, and a dehumidification device to detect and dehumidify the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet, display the data in real time, and make adjustments. This is part of the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0038] The drying assembly 2 includes a dryer 20, several nozzles 21, several rotary joints 23, and a drive assembly 22. Each nozzle 21 has a rotary joint 23 at one end. The dryer 20 and the rotary joints 23 are connected by pipelines. Each nozzle 21 is located inside the housing 10 and is perpendicular to the support frame 11 on a horizontal plane. The drive assembly 22 controls the nozzles 21 to rotate around the external casing conveying path. In use, hot air is generated by the dryer 20 and delivered to the rotary joints 23 through external pipelines. The rotary joints 23 then transfer the hot air into the nozzles 21, and it is then sprayed out from the outlets of the nozzles 21 to dry the casings. The drive assembly 22 is activated, controlling the nozzles 21 to rotate around the casing conveying path, thus thoroughly drying the outer surface of the casings. This prevents one side of the casing from being over-dried while the other side is under-dried, which would affect the quality of the casing production.

[0039] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-4 The drive assembly 22 includes several motors 220, several pulley sets 221, and several rotary connectors 222. Each motor 220 is located at the end of a pulley set 221 and is used to control the rotation of the pulley set 221. Each pulley set 221 is connected to multiple rotary joints 23 via rotary connectors 222. The pulley set 221 consists of multiple pulleys connected in sequence. Since the casing needs to pass through the shaft position in the pulley for transportation, the original shaft of the pulley is replaced with a structure of multiple connecting rods, so that the rollers of two pulleys located on the same center line are welded and fixed together by multiple connecting rods.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-5 The nozzle 21 has a long, narrow structure. The air outlet of the nozzle 21 is located on the side wall of the nozzle 21 and is also long and narrow, parallel to the long side of the nozzle 21. Both the nozzle 21 and the air outlet are long and narrow to increase the contact area between the hot air and the sausage casing, thus achieving a thorough drying effect on the sausage casing.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3-6 The rotary joint 23 consists of a fixed end and a rotating end. The rotating end is located inside the fixed end and rotates around the center line of the fixed end. One side of the rotating end is connected to one end of the nozzle 21. A through hole is provided in the middle of the rotary joint 23 for the casing to pass through. The center line of the rotary joint 23 overlaps with the center line of a recess on the support frame 11, ensuring that the distance between the nozzle 21 and the casing remains constant during rotation, thus enhancing the uniformity of drying. The fixed end of the rotary joint 23 is used to connect to the pipeline at the output end of the dryer 20, maintaining structural stability.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3-6The side wall of the rotating connector 222 is connected to the other side wall of the rotating end of the rotating joint 23, so that the rotating end of the rotating joint 23 rotates synchronously with the pulley assembly 221. In use, by starting the motor 220, the motor 220 drives each pulley in the pulley assembly 221 to rotate, so that the rollers in the pulleys drive the rotating end of the rotating joint 23 to rotate through the rotating connector 222, and then the rotating end of the rotating joint 23 drives the nozzle 21 to rotate, so that the nozzle 21 rotates around the outer surface of the sausage casing.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-4 The housing 10 has several crossbeams 12 parallel to the support frame 11 inside. Each pair of crossbeams 12 has a fixing block 120 and an annular guide rail 121 at their lower ends. The lower end of the fixing block 120 is connected to the rotary joint 23. The inner wall of the annular guide rail 121 is also equipped with a slider 122, and the side wall of each slider 122 is connected to the other end of the nozzle 21. The fixing block 120 connects the fixed end of the rotary joint 23 to the crossbeam 12. When the nozzle 21 rotates, it drives the slider 122 at the other end to slide around the annular guide rail 121, enhancing the structural stability of the nozzle 21 and preventing one end of the nozzle 21 from tilting under gravity.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 The front side wall of the box 10 is detachably connected to several mounting bases 13, and the motors 220 can be mounted on the mounting bases 13, so that multiple motors 220 are distributed at different positions on the front side wall of the box 10. Both ends of the box 10 are equipped with ultraviolet lamps 14 to sterilize the sausage casings.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-4 The chamber 10 is equipped with several heating blocks 15, which are evenly distributed and connected to the support frame 11. By energizing the heating blocks 15, the heating blocks 15 generate heat to preheat and keep the internal space of the chamber 10 warm.

[0046] The specific usage process of this utility model is as follows: The heating block 15 is activated to heat and keep the inside of the box 10 warm, so that the internal temperature of the box 10 is kept at a suitable drying temperature, usually between 10 and 15 degrees. The casings are transported across the box 10. The motor 220 is activated. The motor 220 drives the rotating end of the rotary joint 23 to rotate through the pulley group 221 and the rotary connector 222, which in turn drives the nozzle 21 to rotate. The nozzle 21 rotates around the conveying path of the casings. The dryer 20 is activated. The dryer 20 delivers hot air through the pipeline to the rotary joint 23, and then into the nozzle 21 and blows it out through the long strip-shaped air outlet, so that the nozzle 21 rotates around the casings and blows air to dry the casings.

[0047] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
