Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sausage casing drying technology, specifically to an integrated inflatable and deflated sausage casing inflation tube. Background Technology

[0002] Sausage casings are a natural packaging material made from the small intestines of livestock through processes such as cleaning and scraping. They are widely used in the filling and packaging of foods such as sausages, cured sausages, and grilled sausages. To improve the performance of sausage casings and make their diameter more uniform, they are usually dried during processing. This process allows the casings to maintain a specific diameter and elasticity while possessing good extensibility and toughness.

[0003] During the sausage casing drying process, to prevent the casings from shrinking or sticking together, they are often fitted onto air-filled tubes for shaping, keeping them in a contracted state and ensuring a uniform diameter, thus guaranteeing ventilation and even drying. Currently, the common practice is to use multiple air-filled tubes, each fitted with a casing and inflated or deflated individually. This method has many inconveniences, especially when inflating, deflated, or removing the casings. Operators need to control the opening and closing of valves on each tube individually, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also prone to uneven pressure or leaks when multiple tubes are inflated simultaneously, affecting the drying quality and work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a casing air jacket inflation / deflation device that can achieve centralized control of inflation and deflation functions, in order to simplify the operation process, improve work efficiency, enhance the quality of dried casings and the ease of disassembly, and improve the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides an integrated inflatable casing inflation tube, which enables centralized control of inflation and deflation functions. This simplifies the operation process, improves work efficiency, enhances the ease of casing removal, and overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an integrated inflation / deflation intestinal casing inflation tube, comprising:

[0007] One or more sets of sausage casing inflation tubes are all fixedly installed on a frame;

[0008] The main gas supply pipe is connected to each group of inflatable casing tubes via a gas supply branch pipe. One end of the main valve (10) on the main gas supply pipe (2) is connected to a gas pump, which supplies gas to each group of inflatable casing tubes.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, each set of the casing inflation tubes includes one or more inflation / deflation hoses, each inflation / deflation hose is fitted with a casing, each inflation / deflation hose is provided with an inlet / outlet connection pipe, and each inlet / outlet connection pipe is connected to the air supply branch pipe through a T-connector.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the outer surface of the inflation / deflation hose is provided with one or more mesh layers, and the sausage casings to be dried are placed on the outside of the mesh layers.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, one or both ends of the inflation / deflation hose are set in a conical shape.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, each of the inflation / deflation hoses is provided with a suspension rope at both ends, and each inflation / deflation hose is suspended on the frame by the suspension ropes at both ends.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, each of the gas supply pipes is equipped with an on / off valve.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the gas supply pipe is equipped with a main valve.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model integrates multiple sets of casing inflation tubes on the frame, and sets up air supply branch pipes to connect the main air supply pipe to each set of casing inflation tubes. At the same time, it sets up opening and closing valves on the air supply branch pipes, so that all inflation and deflation hoses can achieve centralized air supply or deflation operations through a unified air pump. This avoids the cumbersome process of operating the valves of each inflation tube one by one in the traditional technology, and significantly improves the efficiency and convenience of casing removal.

[0016] In addition, the outer layer of the inflation / deflation hose is made of mesh, which not only helps to support the casing structure and prevent slippage, but also further improves the uniform distribution of airflow during the drying process, making all casings have a uniform diameter, which is conducive to the uniform drying of the casings.

[0023] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0024] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the integrated inflation tube for sausage casings of this utility model includes the following structure and functional settings in specific implementation.

[0026] In this embodiment, the device includes one or more sets of inflatable casing 8 tubes. These multiple sets of inflatable casing 8 tubes are arranged along the length and evenly fixed on a support frame. The frame can be a metal structure or a high-strength plastic structure, possessing good load-bearing capacity and stability. The inflatable casing 8 tube sets are positioned below the crossbeams of the frame, achieving a distributed arrangement through a suspension structure. This facilitates the drying of the casing 8 while ensuring smooth airflow and convenient operation.

[0027] To achieve centralized gas supply and release, the device is equipped with a main gas supply pipe 2. The main gas supply pipe 2 is connected to a main valve (10) via a T-junction. A gas pump is connected to the main valve (10) to provide the required gas pressure and provide a stable and continuous gas source for the entire system. The main gas supply pipe 2 is connected to each group of casing 8 inflation tubes via multiple gas supply branch pipes 7. Each gas supply branch pipe 7 is connected to the gas path of the corresponding casing 8 inflation tube group via a connector, so that the gas from the gas pump can be distributed sequentially to each casing 8 inflation tube group through the main gas supply pipe 2 to achieve centralized inflation.

[0028] Each set of sausage casings 8 inflation tubes includes at least one inflation / deflation hose 1. The inflation / deflation hose 1 is made of a flexible material, such as silicone or TPU tubing, possessing good flexibility and airtightness, ensuring that the sausage casing 8 structure is not damaged during installation or removal. After inflation, each inflation / deflation hose 1 can be directly fitted onto the outside of the sausage casing 8 for drying. After drying, the casing 8 can be pulled out after the gas is released. To facilitate gas input and release, the inflation / deflation hose 1 is equipped with an inlet / outlet connecting pipe 6, which is connected to the gas supply branch pipe 7 via a T-connector 5. The T-connector 5 is designed for easy installation and disassembly, and also facilitates the replacement of pipe fittings during maintenance.

[0029] To improve the stability and uniform airflow distribution during the drying process, at least one mesh layer 9 is provided on the outside of the inflation / deflation hose 1. This mesh layer 9 can be made of nylon mesh or other breathable and flexible materials. The sausage casing 8 is fitted over this mesh layer 9 during use. The mesh layer 9 not only prevents the sausage casing 8 from sticking or collapsing due to air pressure fluctuations, but also further protects the sausage casing 8 from direct contact with the hose surface, preventing contamination and improving drying uniformity.

[0030] To facilitate the insertion and removal of the casing 8, in this embodiment, one or both ends of the inflation / deflation hose are processed into a tapered structure. This tapered end provides guidance, allowing the casing 8 to slide smoothly into place during insertion, and also facilitates the quick removal of the casing 8 after drying, preventing tearing and adhesion.

[0031] In order to stably suspend the inflation hose on the support frame, each inflation / deflation hose is equipped with a suspension rope 4 on both sides. The suspension rope 4 can be a high-temperature resistant nylon rope or a plastic rope, and the two ends are fixed to the crossbeam or hook of the frame, so that each inflation / deflation hose is in a horizontal suspension state, which is conducive to the natural hanging of the casing 8 and maintaining a ventilated and dry environment.

[0032] In addition, to enable independent control of different pipe groups, each air supply branch pipe 7 is also equipped with an on / off valve 3. The operator can open or close the air supply of a certain group of casing 8 air-filling pipe groups as needed, which facilitates flexible control during local maintenance, casing replacement 8, or adjustment of the drying process, and avoids affecting the overall system's air pressure stability and operating efficiency.

[0033] The main gas supply pipe is equipped with a main valve 10. The main valve can be positioned close to people for easy operation. Generally, only the main valve 10 needs to be controlled when filling or venting gas, and it is not necessary to use the various opening and closing valves 3. Only when a certain row of filling or venting hoses leaks gas will the corresponding opening and closing valve be controlled.

[0034] This utility model, through its integrated structural design, enables centralized inflation and deflation of the casings during the drying process, which not only simplifies the operation process but also improves efficiency and safety. It is particularly suitable for drying operations in large, medium and small casing processing sites or manual processing workshops.

[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
