[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of meat product processing equipment, specifically to a drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Drying is a crucial step in meat processing, aiming to remove excess moisture, extend shelf life, and impart unique flavor and texture. Current technology typically involves placing meat products on multiple grid-like partitions arranged from top to bottom inside a drying oven, then drying them with hot air from a single direction. However, this method of drying meat with hot air from one direction makes it difficult to evenly contact the meat on each partition, resulting in inconsistent drying levels in different areas. Some areas are over-dried while others are under-dried, reducing drying efficiency and affecting product quality consistency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to design a drying device that can solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A drying device includes a housing and a hot air blower. The inner rear wall of the housing is provided with several hot air shells arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The front side of each hot air shell is connected to an upper drying shell and a lower drying shell arranged vertically. A mesh-like partition is provided between the upper and lower drying shells. Several air outlets are provided at the bottom of the upper drying shell and the top of the lower drying shell. The air outlet of the hot air blower is connected to a main air outlet pipe. Several branch air outlet pipes, corresponding one-to-one with the hot air shells, are connected to the side of the main air outlet pipe. The other end of each branch air outlet pipe is connected to the corresponding hot air shell. An exhaust pipe is connected to the top of the housing.

[0006] Furthermore, the front side of the enclosure is hinged with double doors.

[0007] Furthermore, the left side of the upper drying shell and the left side of the lower drying shell are fixedly connected by a left side plate, and the right side of the upper drying shell and the right side of the lower drying shell are fixedly connected by a right side plate. The left side plate and the right side plate are provided with slide rails that slide in cooperation with the partition.

[0008] Furthermore, the left and right side plates are each provided with a limiting groove on the side that is far apart from each other, and the inner walls on both sides of the box are provided with limiting rods that slide in cooperation with the limiting grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, the front end of the limiting rod is provided with a first threaded hole, and the front side of the left side plate and the front side of the right side plate are both provided with a second threaded hole corresponding to the first threaded hole. The first threaded hole and the second threaded hole are connected by screws.

[0010] Furthermore, a first connection port is provided on the rear side of the hot air housing, and a second connection port adapted to the first connection port is provided on the inner wall of the rear side of the housing.

[0021] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a drying device includes a housing 1 and a hot air blower. The inner wall of the rear side of the housing 1 is provided with several hot air shells 2 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The front side of each hot air shell 2 is connected to an upper drying shell 3 and a lower drying shell 4 arranged vertically. A grid-like partition 5 is provided between the upper drying shell 3 and the lower drying shell 4. Several air outlets 6 are provided at the bottom of the upper drying shell 3 and the top of the lower drying shell 4. The air outlet of the hot air blower is connected to a main air outlet pipe 7. The side of the main air outlet pipe 7 is connected to several air outlet branch pipes 8 corresponding to the several hot air shells 2. The other end of the air outlet branch pipe 8 is connected to the corresponding hot air shell 2. An exhaust pipe 9 is connected to the top of the housing 1.

[0023] The front side of the cabinet 1 is hinged with a double door 10. The left side of the upper drying shell 3 and the left side of the lower drying shell 4 are fixedly connected by a left side plate 11, and the right side of the upper drying shell 3 and the right side of the lower drying shell 4 are fixedly connected by a right side plate 12. The sides of the left side plate 11 and the right side plate 12 that are close to each other are provided with slide rails 13 that slide with the partition 5. The slide rails 13 allow the partition 5 to be easily pulled out and pushed in, facilitating the placement of meat products on the partition 5. The sides of the left side plate 11 and the right side plate 12 that are far apart from each other are provided with limiting grooves 14. The inner walls of both sides of the cabinet 1 are provided with limiting rods 15 that slide with the limiting grooves 14, limiting the movement of the meat products. The cooperation between the groove 14 and the limiting rod 15 can position and guide the upper drying shell 3 and the lower drying shell 4 as a whole, ensuring their accurate installation position in the box 1, and facilitating the disassembly and installation of the overall structure. The front end of the limiting rod 15 is provided with a first threaded hole 16, and the front side of the left side plate 11 and the front side of the right side plate 12 are provided with a second threaded hole 17 corresponding to the first threaded hole 16. The first threaded hole 16 and the second threaded hole 17 are connected by screws 18. The screws 18 can firmly fix the upper drying shell 3 and the lower drying shell 4 in the box 1, preventing displacement due to hot air impact during the drying process and ensuring the stability of drying.

[0024] The hot air housing 2 has a first connection port 19 on its rear side, and a second connection port 20 adapted to the first connection port 19 is provided on the inner wall of the rear side of the housing 1. The end of the second connection port 20 away from the first connection port 19 is connected to the end of the air outlet branch pipe 8 away from the air outlet main pipe 7. The cooperation between the first connection port 19 and the second connection port 20 facilitates the connection and disassembly of the hot air housing 2 and the air outlet branch pipe 8, and facilitates the maintenance and repair of the equipment. A sealing gasket 21 is fixed on the side of the second connection port 20 near the first connection port 19 to seal the air, prevent hot air leakage, reduce energy waste, and improve drying efficiency.

[0025] Working principle:

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, when using the drying equipment, the operator first opens the double door 10, takes out the partition 5, and places the meat products to be dried evenly on the partition 5. Then, the partition 5 is pushed between the upper drying shell 3 and the lower drying shell 4 via the slide rail 13. The double door 10 is closed, and the hot air fan is started. The hot air generated by the hot air fan is delivered to each air outlet branch pipe 8 through the main air outlet 7, and then enters the hot air shell 2 through the second connection port 20 and the first connection port 19. The hot air in the hot air shell 2 enters the upper drying shell 3 and the lower drying shell 4 respectively, and finally blows out from the air outlet 6. At the same time, the upper and lower sides of the meat products on the partition 5 are dried. The moisture generated during the drying process is discharged outside the box 1 through the exhaust pipe 9, so that the meat products on each partition 5 can be evenly contacted by the hot air, effectively improving the drying efficiency and ensuring the consistency of product quality.

[0027] When it is necessary to clean the upper drying shell 3 and the lower drying shell 4, the operator unscrews the screw 18, pulls the left side plate 11 and the right side plate 12 forward, removes the upper drying shell 3 and the lower drying shell 4 from the box 1, and then cleans and disinfects them. After cleaning, the limiting groove 14 on the left side plate 11 and the right side plate 12 is aligned with the limiting rod 15 on the inner wall of the box 1 and pushed backward so that the first connecting port 19 and the second connecting port 20 are in close contact, and the sealing gasket 21 plays a sealing role. Finally, the screw 18 is tightened to complete the installation.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
