Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meat processing technology, and in particular to a meat drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Sun-drying meat (pork, fish, beef, etc.) is a common processing technique in meat processing. Its purpose is to give meat products a richer flavor and make them easier to store through air drying.

[0003] Currently, drying devices are commonly used for meat products. These devices typically include a frame and multiple layers of drying nets mounted on the frame, with each net sliding relative to the frame. The structure of such a device is shown in patent application number CN202222498126.9. This device serves to hold the meat products and uses sunlight to air-dry them on the nets. Some drying devices also include an air-flowing chamber, such as the structure described in patent application number CN202320168441.7. In this type of device, the meat products are placed inside the chamber, and the air entering the chamber is treated for dust removal, resulting in a cleaner drying process.

[0004] In all the aforementioned patents, the drying nets are horizontally arranged to facilitate the placement of meat products. However, each drying device has multiple drying nets, and when storing the dried meat products, the operator can only repeatedly retrieve the meat products from each drying net. This repeated storage of meat products on multiple layers of drying nets is not conducive to the storage of dried meat products, and the storage of meat products is quite intensive. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a meat product drying device, which solves the problem that the existing drying devices are not conducive to the storage of dried meat products.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a meat product drying device, including a drying rack, the drying rack including a frame and a plurality of drying nets spaced apart from top to bottom, the frame including two vertically adjacent movable rods and two mounting seats spaced apart from top to bottom, each movable rod being slidably connected to the two mounting seats, and a connecting mechanism being provided between the two movable rods so that the two movable rods can move up and down alternately under the action of external force;

[0007] Each drying net has an installation hole, and two movable rods are located inside the installation hole and are spaced apart from the inner wall of the installation hole. Each drying net has an eccentric part at the bottom so that each drying net is asymmetrically arranged along the center of gravity of the installation hole axis.

[0008] Multiple sets of limiting components are provided on each of the two movable rods. Each set of limiting components cooperates with the corresponding drying net. Each set of limiting components includes two baffles. The two baffles are respectively set on the two movable rods and are staggered vertically. The two baffles are respectively attached to the upper and lower sides of the corresponding drying net.

[0009] The two movable rods move up and down alternately, causing each drying net to shake back and forth in the horizontal direction.

[0010] The principle of this utility model:

[0011] When the drying device is in use, the two movable rods are in the initial state. At this time, the distance between the two baffles used in conjunction is close to the thickness of the drying net. The drying net is basically set horizontally under the action of the two baffles. The operator lays the meat products to be dried on each drying net in turn. The meat products are loaded into the net at night.

[0012] After the meat products have finished drying, it is necessary to collect all the dried meat products. At this time, if the operator drives any one of the movable rods to move up and down, the other movable rod will move up and down in the opposite direction.

[0013] Due to the gap between the two movable rods and the mounting holes of the drying net, and based on the presence of the eccentric component on the drying net, when the two movable rods move up and down alternately, the corresponding two baffles separate from the corresponding drying nets from the upper and lower sides respectively. This can be understood as the drying net and the two movable rods unlocking. At this time, the drying net will change from a horizontal setting to an inclined setting under the action of the eccentric component. When the two baffles move relative to each other from the upper and lower sides again, the two baffles will contact the drying nets again, causing the drying nets to change from an inclined setting to a horizontal setting. This process repeats, causing each drying net to shake in the horizontal direction.

[0014] Shaking each drying net facilitates the separation of the meat products from the net. Finally, tilting each drying net allows for the unloading of the meat products from each net in one go, completing the unloading operation of the dried meat products.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the drying device provided by the present invention can simplify the storage operation of dried meat products, reduce the workload of storage, and improve storage efficiency.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a drive gear and two movable racks. The two movable racks are arranged opposite each other and both mesh with the drive gear. Any movable rod moving up and down will drive the other movable rod to move in the opposite direction.

[0017] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism is equipped with a cooperating drive mechanism.

[0018] The drive mechanism includes a transmission gear and a drive rack that mesh with each other. The transmission gear and the drive gear are coaxially arranged, and the drive rack is perpendicular to the moving rack and is slidably connected to the frame.

[0019] Furthermore, the drive rack is equipped with a locking element that restricts its movement.

[0020] Furthermore, each mounting base is provided with two vertically arranged sliding grooves, and two movable rods are respectively embedded in the two sliding grooves, and a spring is provided between each sliding groove and the corresponding movable rod.

[0021] Furthermore, the frame also includes a top seat, a base seat, and at least two connecting columns arranged at intervals.

[0022] Each connecting post is located between the top seat and the base, and is connected to the top seat and the base respectively;

[0023] The two mounting brackets are fixed to the top bracket and the base respectively, and each drying net is located between the top bracket and the base.

[0024] Furthermore, it also includes a ventilation box and an exhaust system.

[0025] The ventilation box is equipped with an opening and closing door, and the frame is detachably connected to the ventilation box inside the ventilation box.

[0026] The air intake mechanism is used to convect the air inside the ventilation box with the outside air.

[0027] Furthermore, the ventilation box is also equipped with an air inlet and an air outlet, both of which are equipped with a screen. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0035] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a meat product drying device includes a drying rack 11, which comprises a frame 10 and multiple drying nets 5 spaced apart from top to bottom. The overall structure of the drying rack 11 is similar to that of existing drying racks, mainly consisting of multiple drying nets 5 and a frame 10 for connecting each drying net 5. Each drying net 5 is used to hold a corresponding meat product. The drying rack 11 can be used independently; in use, it can be placed outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor area to achieve the air-drying operation of meat products.

[0036] The existing drying net 5 is placed horizontally when drying and storing meat products, which means that the dried meat products can only be collected repeatedly by hand, resulting in a large workload for storing meat products. In order to solve the above problems, this application improves the overall structure of the drying rack 11.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the frame 10 of this application includes a top seat 4, a base 1, and at least two connecting columns 2 arranged at intervals. Each connecting column 2 is located between the top seat 4 and the base 1 and is connected to both the top seat 4 and the base 1. Both the top seat 4 and the base 1 are horizontally arranged plate-like structures, and each connecting column 2 is vertically arranged. The upper end of each connecting column 2 is fixed to the top seat 4, and the bottom of each connecting column 2 is fixed to the base 1. Each connecting column 2 encloses an installation space, and each drying net 5 is arranged at intervals from top to bottom within the installation space.

[0038] To facilitate the installation and storage of each drying net 5, the frame 10 of this application also includes two vertically arranged adjacent movable rods 6 and two vertically spaced mounting seats 3. Each movable rod 6 is slidably connected to the two mounting seats 3. The two mounting seats 3 are vertically spaced and are fixed to the top seat 4 and the base 1, respectively. Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, to achieve the vertical sliding connection between each movable rod 6 and the mounting base 3, this application provides two vertically arranged sliding grooves 32 on each mounting base 3, and the two movable rods 6 are respectively embedded in the two sliding grooves 32. Since each movable rod 6 needs to move up and down, and the vertical movement of the movable rod 6 is manually driven, in order to reduce the input of external force, a spring 31 is provided between each sliding groove 32 and the corresponding movable rod 6. When an external force is applied to the movable rod 6 to drive it to move, the upper and lower ends of the movable rod 6 will compress (or stretch) the spring 31 in the sliding groove 32. When the external force disappears, the movable rod 6 can be reset under the action of the spring 31. This facilitates the movement of the movable rod 6.

[0039] Since the movable rod 6 in this application is designed to move vertically in an alternating manner, in order to achieve the goal that the movement of any movable rod 6 can drive the movement of the two movable rods 6 in the same direction, this application provides a connecting mechanism between the two movable rods 6, so that the two movable rods 6 can move vertically in an alternating manner under the action of external force. Specifically, as shown in... Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the connecting mechanism of this application includes a drive gear 8 and two movable racks 62. The two movable racks 62 are arranged opposite each other and both mesh with the drive gear 8. Any movable rod 6 moving up and down drives the other movable rod 6 to move in the opposite direction. Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the bottom of the top seat 4 is provided with a mounting rod 81, which is rotatably connected to the drive gear 8. Both movable racks 62 are vertically set and installed close to the top seat 4. Each movable rack 62 is a component of the corresponding movable rod 6. When the drive gear 8 rotates, the two movable racks 62 will move up and down in opposite directions, thus driving the two movable rods 6 to move up and down alternately.

[0040] To facilitate the driving of the movable rod 6, the connecting mechanism of this application is equipped with a cooperating drive mechanism, which includes a meshing transmission gear 74 and a drive rack 7. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the transmission gear 74 is coaxially connected to the drive gear 8 via a connecting shaft 82, and the connecting shaft 82 is rotatably connected via a bearing and a mounting rod 81. The drive rack 7 is horizontally arranged, and a sliding seat 72 is fixed below the top seat 4, with the drive rack 7 slidably connected to the sliding seat 72.

[0041] In use, the operator moves the drive rack 7 back and forth horizontally, which drives the transmission gear 74 and the drive gear 8 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the drive gear 8 causes the two movable rods 6 to move up and down alternately.

[0042] To limit the vertical movement distance of the two movable rods 6, a wedge-shaped groove can be provided on the sliding seat 72, and a wedge-shaped slider 73 can be provided on the drive rack 7. One end of the wedge-shaped slider 73 contacts the wedge-shaped groove, and the distance between the other side of the wedge-shaped slider and the other side of the wedge-shaped groove is the longest distance that the drive rack 7 can move in one direction horizontally. If the transmission gear 74 and the drive gear 8 are gears of the same type, then the unidirectional movement distance of the drive rack 7 in the horizontal direction is the unidirectional movement distance of the movable rod 6 in the vertical direction. If the drive gear 8 and the transmission gear 74 are gears of different types, the movement distance of the movable rod 6 can be limited by the movement distance of the drive gear 8 through conversion.

[0043] Since the upper and lower ends of each movable rod 6 are connected to the mounting base 3 respectively, and a spring 31 is provided between the mounting base 3 and the movable rod 6, theoretically, the movable rod 6 can remain in a fixed position without external force. However, when the movable rod 6 is subjected to external force, it will move. To prevent the movable rod 6 from moving unnecessarily, this application also provides a locking member 71, which works in conjunction with the drive rack 7. Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the locking element 71 is limited by a pin or bolt. The locking element 71 passes through the drive rack 7, and a positioning hole is provided on the sliding seat 72, which is inserted into the locking element 71. When the locking element 71 is inserted into the positioning hole, the drive rack 7 and the sliding seat 72 are locked. Due to the limitation of the gears and rack, when the drive rack 7 is locked, the transmission gear 74, the drive gear 8, and the moving rack 62 are all locked, thus preventing the movable rod 6 from moving in a non-moving state. When it is necessary to move the movable rod 6, simply unlocking the locking element 71 and the sliding seat 72 applies external force to the drive rack 7, causing it to move, thereby realizing the movement of the movable rod 6.

[0044] This invention features two movable rods 6 arranged in a staggered, vertical configuration to facilitate horizontal shaking of each drying net 5. To achieve this horizontal shaking under the action of the movable rods 6, each drying net 5 in this application has a mounting hole 52. The two movable rods 6 are located within the mounting hole 52 and are spaced apart from the inner wall of the mounting hole 52. Each drying net 5 has an eccentric component 51 at its bottom, ensuring that the center of gravity of each drying net 5 is asymmetrically arranged along the axis of the mounting hole 52. The drying net 5 can adopt a circular mesh structure, a rectangular mesh structure, or a grooved mesh structure. To prevent meat products from falling off the drying net 5 during shaking, the drying net 5 in this application uses a square grooved mesh structure. The mounting hole 52 is located at the center of the drying net 5, and the two movable rods 6 pass through the mounting hole 52, with a gap between them and the inner wall of the mounting hole 52. The eccentric component 51 adopts a block structure and is fixed to the bottom of the drying net 5. The eccentric block can be set into various petal shapes, multiple radiating lines, multi-pointed star shapes, heart shapes, various animal shapes, or wheel hub shapes, etc.

[0045] To facilitate the installation of the two movable rods 6 onto each drying net 5, the two movable rods 6 of this application are each equipped with multiple sets of limiting components. Each set of limiting components cooperates with the corresponding drying net 5. Each set of limiting components includes two baffles 61, which are respectively set on the two movable rods 6 and staggered vertically. The two baffles 61 are respectively attached to the upper and lower sides of the corresponding drying net 5. Figure 1 , 2 As shown, since the two baffles 61 are staggered vertically and contact the upper and lower sides of the drying net 5 respectively, when the distance between the two baffles 61 and the thickness of the drying net 5 are close, the drying net 5 can be limited in the vertical direction under the action of the two baffles 61. At this time, even if the bottom of the drying net 5 is provided with an eccentric part 51, the drying net 5 can still be set horizontally.

[0046] When shaking and storing air-dried meat products on the drying net:

[0047] When the drive rack 7 is unlocked, external force acts on it, causing it to move back and forth, thus achieving the staggered vertical setting of the two movable rods 6. At this time, due to the gap between the two movable rods 6 and the mounting holes 52 of the drying net 5, and based on the presence of the eccentric component 51 on the drying net 5, when the two movable rods 6 move staggered vertically, the corresponding two baffles 61 separate from the corresponding drying net 5 from their upper and lower sides, respectively. This can be understood as the drying net 5 unlocking from the two movable rods 6. At this point, the drying net 5 changes from a horizontal setting to an inclined setting under the action of the eccentric component 51. When the two baffles 61 move relative to each other from their upper and lower sides, they contact the drying net 5 again, causing it to change from an inclined setting to a horizontal setting. This process repeats, causing each drying net 5 to vibrate horizontally. Each drying net 5 is shaken to facilitate the separation of the meat products from the drying net 5. Finally, each drying net 5 is tilted to unload the meat products from each drying net 5 in one go, thus completing the unloading operation of the dried meat products.

[0048] The drying rack 11 of this application can be used alone or in conjunction with an air-flowing chamber. Therefore, as... Figure 5 As shown, the drying device of this application may further include a ventilation box 9 and an air-guiding mechanism 93. The ventilation box 9 is provided with an openable and closable door 91, and the frame 10 is detachably connected to the ventilation box 9 inside the ventilation box 9. The air-guiding mechanism 93 is used to convect the air inside the ventilation box 9 with the outside air. The air-guiding mechanism 93 can be an exhaust fan or a blower, and the air-guiding mechanism 93 can be used to realize the airflow inside the ventilation box 9. At the same time, the cooperation between the ventilation box 9 and the air-guiding mechanism 93 can also be set with reference to the prior art (patent application number CN202320168441.7) to realize the airflow inside the ventilation box 9 so as to air-dry the meat products on the drying rack 11.

[0049] To facilitate airflow within the ventilation box 9, the ventilation box 9 of this application is further provided with an air inlet 94 and an air outlet 92. The air-guiding mechanism 93 guides airflow within the ventilation box 9, with the air-guiding mechanism 93 and the air inlet 94 facing each other. The operation of the air-guiding mechanism 93 draws outside air into the ventilation box 9, and the air inside the ventilation box 9 is then discharged through the air outlet 92, thus achieving airflow within the ventilation box 9. To prevent foreign objects from entering the ventilation box 9, intercepting nets 95 can be provided at both the air inlet 94 and the air outlet 92. The intercepting nets 95 can block small foreign objects from entering the ventilation box 9 from the air inlet 94 and the air outlet 92.

[0050] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
