Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of meat processing equipment, and in particular to an integrated equipment for rapid cooling and air drying of beef and mutton. Background Technology

[0002] In the meat processing industry, cooling and air drying are key steps in ensuring the quality of beef and mutton. Cooling allows a dry film to form on the surface of the meat, inhibiting microbial growth and slowing down physicochemical changes, while also completing the aging process to improve flavor; air drying extends shelf life by removing moisture and gives the product a unique taste.

[0003] In traditional beef and mutton processing, cooling and drying are usually carried out in stages using separate equipment. Cooling often uses cold air circulation or water cooling, while drying is achieved through hot air or natural ventilation. However, there is significant room for optimization in the equipment layout and process integration of the two processes. In actual production, on the one hand, cooled meat products need to be manually transferred to the drying equipment, increasing the operation steps and time costs. On the other hand, the energy consumption of the two sets of equipment is superimposed when they are running independently, and they occupy a large amount of factory space. In addition, the staged processing is prone to cross-contamination risks due to environmental exposure. For example, cooled meat products may come into contact with external microorganisms or residual contaminants on the equipment surface during the transfer process. Therefore, we propose an integrated rapid cooling and drying equipment for beef and mutton to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An integrated equipment for rapid cooling and air drying of beef and mutton includes a central functional box and two processing chambers located inside the central functional box. The top of the central functional box is equipped with a processing mechanism that allows the two processing chambers to cool and air dry the beef and mutton respectively.

[0007] The processing mechanism includes an air intake central pipe fixedly installed on the top of the centralized functional box, a fan fixedly installed at the top of the air intake central pipe, an air inlet box fixedly installed at the top of the processing chamber, and multiple air blowing holes opened at the bottom of the air inlet box. The air intake central pipe and the air inlet box are fixedly connected by a bent connecting pipe. A condensation component is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one of the bent connecting pipes, and a heat drying component is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the other bent connecting pipe. An air outlet groove is opened at the bottom of the processing chamber, and a load-bearing grid is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air outlet groove. The air inlet box and the air outlet groove are fixedly connected in the vertical direction by a circulation pipe, and a pressure relief valve is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the circulation pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the centralized functional box is rotatably connected to two sealing door panels capable of sealing the processing chamber, and an arc-shaped handle is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sealing door panels.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the centralized functional box has two fixing ports, and the outer wall of the air inlet box and the inner wall of the fixing ports are fixedly connected in the vertical direction.

[0010] Preferably, a liquid storage tank is provided at the bottom of the air outlet groove, and a liquid outlet is provided on the inner side wall of the liquid storage tank.

[0013] Preferably, the sealed insulation block has an insulation cavity inside, and insulation cotton is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the insulation cavity.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

Detailed Implementation

[0020] 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.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 The integrated equipment for rapid cooling and air drying of beef and mutton includes a centralized functional box 1 and two processing chambers 2 located within the centralized functional box 1. A processing mechanism is installed on the top of the centralized functional box 1 to allow the two processing chambers 2 to cool and air dry the beef and mutton respectively. The processing mechanism includes an air intake central pipe 3 fixedly installed on the top of the centralized functional box 1, a fan 4 fixedly installed at the top of the air intake central pipe 3, an air inlet box 5 fixedly installed on the top of the processing chamber 2, and multiple air blowing holes 6 at the bottom of the air inlet box 5. The air intake central pipe 3 and the air inlet box 5 are connected by a bent connecting pipe 7. A condensation component 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one bent connecting pipe 7, and a heat drying component 9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the other bent connecting pipe 7. An air outlet groove 10 is located at the bottom of the processing chamber 2, and a load-bearing grid 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air outlet groove 10. The vertical air inlet box 5 and the air outlet groove 10 are fixedly connected by a circulation pipe fitting 12, and a pressure relief valve 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the circulation pipe fitting 12.

[0022] To further explain, air is supplied to the two processing chambers 2 through a single fan 4 and an air intake central pipe 3. Cooling and drying functions are achieved by using a condenser assembly 8 and a heat drying assembly 9, respectively, saving equipment costs and space. The design of the circulation pipe 12 and the pressure relief valve 13 makes the airflow form a closed loop in the processing chamber 2, improving energy utilization efficiency. At the same time, the pressure relief valve 13 can prevent excessive pressure and ensure operational safety. The load-bearing grid 11 facilitates the placement of beef and mutton and the collection of liquid. The moisture generated by the condenser assembly 8 can be discharged through the air outlet 10 to avoid soaking the meat.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two sealing door panels 14 capable of sealing the processing chamber 2 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the centralized functional box 1, and an arc-shaped handle 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sealing door panel 14.

[0024] To further explain, the design of the sealed door panel 14 and the arc-shaped handle 15 makes it easier for operators to open and close the processing chamber 2, improving ease of use. The sealing performance of the sealed door panel 14 can prevent heat / cold energy loss during cooling or air drying, improving processing efficiency, while preventing odors from overflowing and polluting the environment.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the centralized functional box 1 has two fixing ports 16, and the outer wall of the vertical air inlet box 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixing ports 16.

[0026] To further explain, the fixed connection between the air inlet box 5 and the fixed port 16 ensures the air duct is sealed, reduces airflow leakage, and enables cold / hot air to be efficiently delivered to the processing chamber 2. The design of multiple air blowing holes 6 makes the airflow distribution more uniform, avoids local temperature / humidity differences, and improves the consistency of meat processing.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a liquid storage tank 17 is provided at the bottom of the air outlet 10, and a liquid outlet 18 is provided on the inner side wall of the liquid storage tank 17.

[0028] To further explain, the liquid storage tank 17 and the liquid outlet 18 can collect the condensate generated during the cooling process or the meat juice that seeps out during the drying process, preventing the accumulation of liquid that leads to bacterial growth, maintaining a clean and hygienic processing environment, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the two processing chambers 2 are connected by a partition mechanism. The partition mechanism includes a communication port 19 that is opened in the central functional box 1 and can connect the two processing chambers 2. A through port 20 that communicates with the communication port 19 is opened on the outer wall of the central functional box 1. A sealing and heat-insulating block 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through port 20.

[0030] To further explain, the design of the connecting port 19 of the partition mechanism and the sealing insulation block 21 allows the two processing chambers 2 to be connected when needed, flexibly adjusting the usage mode. For example, the two processing chambers 2 can be combined into a larger space to process large quantities of meat, or they can remain independent to achieve continuous cooling and drying operations, improving the versatility of the equipment.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom height of the processing chamber 2, the bottom height of the connecting port 19, and the bottom height of the through port 20 are all the same.

[0032] To further explain, the bottom heights of the processing chamber 2, the connecting port 19, and the through port 20 are consistent, ensuring that liquids (such as condensate and meat juice) can flow naturally into the liquid storage tank 17, avoiding dead corners where liquid accumulates, and facilitating the cleaning of the equipment's interior, thus reducing hygiene risks.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, the sealed insulation block 21 has an insulation cavity 22 inside, and insulation cotton 23 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the insulation cavity 22.

[0034] To further explain, the insulation cavity 22 and insulation cotton 23 inside the sealed insulation block 21 can reduce heat transfer between the two processing chambers 2, maintain a stable temperature environment for each chamber during independent operation, reduce energy consumption, and are especially suitable for scenarios where cooling and drying operations are carried out simultaneously, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0035] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0036] Place the beef and mutton to be processed

[0037] Open the sealing door 14 on one side of the central functional box 1, and smoothly push the drying rack containing fresh beef and mutton into one of the processing chambers 2, ensuring that the bottom of the drying rack is aligned with the load-bearing grid 11. Close the sealing door 14 and confirm that it is sealed.

[0038] Start the cooling process

[0039] Turn on the fan 4 in the corresponding processing chamber 2, so that the bent connecting pipe 7 connected to the condenser assembly 8 starts to deliver cold air. The cold air evenly covers the beef and mutton on the drying rack through the air inlet box 5 bottom air blowing hole 6 for cooling treatment. During the treatment process, the temperature change can be viewed through the equipment monitoring system or observation window until the meat reaches the target cooling temperature.

[0040] Transfer to the drying room

[0041] After cooling is complete, open the through-hole 20 on the outside of the centralized functional box 1, slide out the sealing and heat preservation block 21, so that the two processing chambers 2 are connected through the connecting port 19, push the drying rack, and transfer the cooled beef and mutton to the other processing chamber 2 through the connecting port 19. Then reinsert the sealing and heat preservation block 21 into the through-hole 20 to restore the separation state.

[0042] Start the drying process

[0043] Start the fan 4 in another processing chamber 2 to deliver hot air through the curved connecting pipe 7 connected to the hot drying component 9. The hot air dries the meat through the air inlet box 5 and the air outlet 6. During the process, the pressure inside the processing chamber 2 can be adjusted through the pressure relief valve 13 to ensure uniform hot air circulation. Adjust the drying time and temperature according to the thickness and humidity of the meat.

[0044] Remove the processed beef and mutton

[0045] After air drying, open the sealed door 14 of the corresponding processing chamber 2, pull out the drying rack, remove the processed beef and mutton, clean the drying rack and residual meat scraps in the processing chamber 2, open the air outlet 10 and liquid outlet 18 to drain the waste liquid in the liquid storage tank 17, turn off the power to all equipment, reset the sealing and heat preservation block 21, and the operation is complete.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
