Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, specifically to a tunnel baking device for honey-roasted meat strips. Background Technology
[0002] Honey-roasted meat strips are a ready-to-eat meat product made from chicken, pork, or other meats. The meat is cut into strips, marinated, then coated with honey sauce, pre-steamed, and roasted. The surface has a crispy outer layer due to the caramelization of the honey, while the inside is tender and smooth, offering both a sweet and smoky flavor. It's a snack food that combines great taste and texture.
[0003] Traditional honey-roasted meat strip processing relies on decentralized equipment to complete steaming, honey sauce spraying, and baking processes in stages. For example, honey sauce is first sprayed manually, then the meat strips are cooked in a steamer, and then transferred to an independent oven for baking. The process requires frequent material transfers at each stage, resulting in low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to integrate spraying, steaming, and baking into a tunnel structure, thereby achieving full automation of meat strip processing and fundamentally solving the problem of low efficiency in traditional processes.
[0005] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:

The spraying and steaming zone is equipped with honey sauce spray heads, and a steam jet head is located behind the honey sauce spray heads in the spraying and steaming zone. Far-infrared heating tubes are distributed in the baking zone, and a cold air fan is installed in the cooling zone.
[0007] A further improvement is that the steam jets are distributed above and below the stainless steel conveyor belt.
[0008] A further improvement is that the steam injector is connected to an external steam generator via a steam delivery pipe, and a steam switch valve is installed on the steam delivery pipe.
[0009] A further improvement is that the far-infrared heating tubes are distributed above and below the stainless steel conveyor belt.
[0010] A further improvement is that the far-infrared heating tubes are arranged in a wavy pattern.
[0011] A further improvement is that the spraying and steaming zones and the baking zone, as well as the baking zone and the cooling zone, are separated by partition plates. The partition plates are provided with clearance channels for the passage of the stainless steel conveyor belt and the materials on the stainless steel conveyor belt.
[0012] A further improvement is that an active roller is installed at the discharge port and a driven roller is installed at the feed port. The active roller and the driven roller are connected by the stainless steel conveyor belt. The upper part of the stainless steel conveyor belt is located inside the tunnel furnace, and the lower part of the stainless steel conveyor belt is located outside the tunnel furnace.
[0013] A further improvement is that a drive motor is installed at the discharge port to drive the active roller.
[0014] A further improvement is that a water collection tray is provided on one side of the tunnel furnace body, which is connected to the spraying and steaming zone and is used to collect the condensate generated in the spraying and steaming zone.
[0015] A further improvement is that the top of the tunnel-type oven is equipped with a smoke exhaust fan, and the smoke exhaust fan is equipped with a smoke exhaust pipe that leads into the interior of the baking zone.

[0024] The terms "first" and "second" in this utility model do not represent specific quantities or orders, but are merely used to distinguish names.
[0025] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1This utility model embodiment proposes a tunnel-type baking device for honey-roasted meat strips, including a fixed support 1, a tunnel-type furnace body 2 at the top of the fixed support 1, an inlet and an outlet at both ends of the tunnel-type furnace body 2, a stainless steel conveyor belt 3 passing through the inlet and outlet of the tunnel-type furnace body 2, and the tunnel-type furnace body 2 is divided into a spraying and steaming zone 4, a baking zone 5, and a cooling zone 6 from the inlet to the outlet. The spraying and steaming zone 4 is equipped with honey sauce spray heads 7, and a steam jet head 8 is located behind the honey sauce spray heads 7 in the spraying and steaming zone 4. Far-infrared heating tubes 9 are distributed in the baking zone 5, and a cold air fan 10 is installed in the cooling zone 6.
[0026] Understandably, this utility model uses a stainless steel conveyor belt 3 that runs through the entire tunnel-type furnace body 2 from the inlet to the outlet to continuously transport meat strips, achieving automated production. The continuous production process reduces manual intervention and material transfer time, significantly improving the overall efficiency of the production line. Furthermore, the integrated design makes the entire production process more compact, saving factory space. The spraying and steaming zone 4 is equipped with honey sauce spray heads 7 to evenly coat the passing meat strips with honey sauce. Steam jet heads 8 are located behind the honey sauce spray heads 7 and are used to spray high-temperature steam to steam the honey sauce-coated meat strips, initiating the initial cooking process. The baking zone 5 is equipped with far-infrared heating tubes 9 for high-temperature baking of the steamed meat strips. The cooling zone 6 is equipped with a cold air fan 10 to quickly lower the temperature of the meat strips exiting the oven, facilitating subsequent processing or packaging.
[0027] The far-infrared heating tube 9 is a heating element that uses electrical energy to excite far-infrared radiation (wavelength 3μm-1000μm). Its core consists of a resistance wire wrapped in a high-temperature resistant material (such as quartz or a metal tube), and its surface is coated with a far-infrared radiation coating (such as silicon carbide or ceramic). When in operation, the resistance wire heats up, stimulating the coating to release far-infrared rays, which directly penetrate the surface of the meat strips. This causes the moisture and oil molecules to resonate and generate heat, achieving uniform heating from the inside out. The far-infrared heating tube 9 causes the surface glaze of the meat strips to quickly caramelize, forming a crispy crust, while the internal moisture evaporates gradually, ultimately achieving the industrial standard quality of "crispy on the outside and tender on the inside".
[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the steam injectors 8 are distributed above and below the stainless steel conveyor belt 3. The steam injectors 8 are connected to an external steam generator (not shown in the figure) through a steam conveying pipe, and a steam switch valve 11 is provided on the steam conveying pipe.
[0029] Understandably, the steam jets 8 are distributed above and below the stainless steel conveyor belt 3. This arrangement ensures that the meat strips can be evenly treated by steam from both the top and bottom when passing through the spraying and steaming zone 4, ensuring that the meat strips are heated evenly and promoting the consistency of the initial cooking process.
[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the far-infrared heating tubes 9 are distributed above and below the stainless steel conveyor belt 3.
[0031] Understandably, the symmetrically distributed far-infrared heating tubes 9 form a bidirectional radiation field, eliminating the problem of uneven heating on one side and ensuring that the meat strips are crispy all the same.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the far-infrared heating tubes 9 are arranged in a wavy pattern to increase the thermal radiation coverage area.
[0033] In this embodiment, the spraying and steaming zone 4 and the baking zone 5, as well as the baking zone 5 and the cooling zone 6, are separated by partition plates 12. The partition plates 12 are provided with clearance channels for the passage of the stainless steel conveyor belt 3 and the material (meat strips) on the stainless steel conveyor belt 3.
[0034] In this embodiment, a drive roller 13 is installed at the discharge port, and a driven roller 14 is installed at the feed port. The drive roller 13 and the driven roller 14 are connected by the stainless steel conveyor belt 3. The upper part of the stainless steel conveyor belt 3 is located inside the tunnel furnace body 2, and the lower part of the stainless steel conveyor belt 3 is located outside the tunnel furnace body 2. A drive motor (not shown in the figure) is installed at the discharge port to drive the drive roller 13.
[0035] Understandably, the stainless steel conveyor belt 3 is connected by a drive roller 13 and a driven roller 14. Its upper part (the part loading the meat strips) is located inside the tunnel furnace 2, running through the entire processing flow, including the spraying and steaming zone 4, the baking zone 5, and the cooling zone 6. The lower part (the return path) is located outside the tunnel furnace 2, used to bring the stainless steel conveyor belt 3 back from the discharge port to the feed port, preparing for a new round of material conveying. The drive motor drives the drive roller 13, thereby driving the stainless steel conveyor belt 3, making the entire production process highly automated, reducing manual intervention, and improving production efficiency.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, a water receiving tray 15 is provided below one side of the tunnel furnace body 2. The water receiving tray 15 is connected to the spray and steaming zone 4 and is used to collect the condensate generated in the spray and steaming zone 4.
[0037] It is understandable that during the spraying and steaming process, condensate is easily formed inside the equipment due to the presence of steam. The condensate can be collected through the water receiving pan 15 to avoid water accumulation.
[0038] In this embodiment, the top of the tunnel-type furnace body 2 is equipped with a smoke exhaust fan (not shown in the figure), and the smoke exhaust fan is equipped with a smoke exhaust pipe that leads into the interior of the baking zone 5.
[0039] Understandably, during the baking process, meat releases smoke, steam, and other volatile compounds, and the exhaust fan can effectively remove these substances from the baking zone 5 through the exhaust pipe.
[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0041] During operation, the meat strips are placed on the stainless steel conveyor belt 3 at the feed inlet of the tunnel furnace 2. The meat strips follow the stainless steel conveyor belt 3 into the tunnel furnace 2. First, they enter the spraying and steaming zone 4, where the honey sauce spray head 7 sprays honey sauce onto the meat strips. Next, the meat strips enter the working area of the steam jet head 8. The steam switch valve 11 of the steam jet head 8 is opened, and the high-temperature steam cooks the meat strips. Then, the stainless steel conveyor belt 3 carries the meat strips through the partition plate 12 into the baking zone 5. The meat strips are baked by the far-infrared heating tubes 9 in the baking zone 5. Since the far-infrared heating tubes 9 are distributed above and below the stainless steel conveyor belt 3, they can bake the meat strips evenly until they are crispy. Finally, the stainless steel conveyor belt 3 carries the meat strips through the partition plate 12 into the cooling zone 6. The cold air fan 10 in the cooling zone 6 quickly cools the meat strips before conveying them out, completing the entire processing process.
[0042] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0043] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements are all protected by this utility model.
