[0027] A smokehouse for food processing, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes:

[0028] The cabinet 10 has a sealed door hinged to its front wall. Inside the cabinet 10, a fan 11 and several trays 12 for placing food are fixedly installed. The trays 12 have a grate structure. By placing the meat that needs to be smoked on the trays 12, the fan 11 draws the smoke from the bottom layer to the top and sprays it onto the top trays 12 and the meat, so that the meat on the upper and lower layers can have a consistent smoking effect.

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the fumigation assembly, located at the bottom of the cabinet 10, is used to collect grease and generate smoke. The fumigation assembly includes a drawer 20, a tray 21, a heat-conducting plate 23, and an outer cover 25. The outer cover 25 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cabinet 10. The drawer 20 is inserted into the outer cover 25, and the tray 21 is detachably connected to the outer cover 25. Several heat-conducting plates 23 are fixedly installed at the ends of the tray 21, contacting the top surface of the outer cover 25. The top of the tray 21 has a collection cavity, which can collect grease dripping from each tray 12. The outer cover 25 forms a rectangular box with an opening in the front wall. The inner bottom of the outer cover 25... The surface is fixedly equipped with an electric heating rod. The drawer 20 is adapted to the outer cover 25. The drawer 20 is slidably disposed in the cavity of the outer cover 25. The top of the tray 21 sinks down to form a collection cavity. The collection cavity is rectangular. The heat-conducting plate 23 is disposed at the bottom of the tray 21. The heat-conducting plate 23 is integrally formed with the tray 21. The heat-conducting plate 23 forms an L-shaped plate. The bottom of the heat-conducting plate 23 abuts against the top of the outer cover 25. The fumigation assembly also includes a smoke exhaust port 26. The top of the outer cover 25 is provided with a smoke exhaust port 26 for exhausting smoke. The air inlet of the fan 11 is connected to a pipe extending to the top of the smoke exhaust port 26.

[0030] In this design, drawer 20 is used to store plants that produce smoke, such as pine branches. Smoke is generated by heating drawer 20 and the pine branches stored inside with an electric heating rod. The smoke is discharged upward from exhaust port 26, with some rising naturally and the rest being drawn upward by fan 11. The convection of smoke from the top and bottom ensures that the meat on the multiple trays 12 inside the cabinet 10 maintains a consistent smoking effect. Tray 21 is provided, and the collection chamber at the top of tray 21 collects the grease generated during the smoking process of the meat on each tray 12. In addition, the collection chamber also contains the wood ash from the burnt wood inside drawer 20. The wood ash absorbs the grease, making it easy to collect and absorb the grease. The clumped wood ash and grease are also easier to clean.

[0031] The heat-conducting plate 23 forms a bridge for heat conduction between the tray 21 and the outer cover 25. The heat-conducting plate 23 absorbs the heat from the outer cover 25 and transfers it to the tray 21. By heating the tray 21 and the grease and wood ash inside the tray 21, the grease and wood ash produce an aroma of wood mixed with oil after being heated. It can also fumigate the grease on the tray 12. On the one hand, it can utilize the wood ash, and on the other hand, it can enrich the flavor of the smoked meat.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the fumigation assembly also includes an insert 22 and a guide rail 24. The insert 22 is fixedly connected to the tray 21, and the guide rail 24 is fixedly connected to the outer cover 25. The tray 21 is detachably connected to the guide rail 24 via the insert 22. The top of the guide rail 24 is provided with a groove, and the insert 22 forms a rod body that fits the groove. The insert 22 can be inserted into the groove. In this solution, in order to facilitate the cleaning of grease inside the tray 21, by pulling the tray 21, the tray 21 drives the insert 22 to slide in the groove of the guide rail 24. The tray 21 can be pulled out of the cabinet 10 for cleaning. The grease and wood ash can be used as fertilizer after clumping.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Drawer 20 is used to store plants that generate smoke, such as pine branches. A heating rod heats drawer 20 and the pine branches stored inside to generate smoke. The smoke is discharged upwards from exhaust port 26; part of it rises naturally, and the other part is drawn upwards by fan 11. This upward and downward airflow ensures that the meat on the multiple trays 12 inside the cabinet 10 maintains a consistent smoking effect. A tray 21 is provided, and a collection chamber at the top of the tray 21 collects the oil produced during the smoking process of the meat on each tray 12. Furthermore, a drawer is placed inside the collection chamber. The wood ash after combustion in the 20 compartment absorbs grease and forms a heat conduction bridge between the tray 21 and the outer cover 25 through the heat conduction plate 23. The heat conduction plate 23 absorbs the heat from the outer cover 25 and transfers it to the tray 21. By heating the tray 21 and the grease and wood ash inside the tray 21, the grease and wood ash produce a fragrance of wood mixed with oil after being heated. It can also fumigate the grease on the tray 12. By pulling the tray 21, the tray 21 drives the insert 22 to slide in the groove of the guide rail 24. The tray 21 can be pulled out of the cabinet 10 for cleaning.
