Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shelf-life testing technology, and in particular to an accelerated shelf-life testing cabinet for dried meat. Background Technology

[0002] In the meat jerky production industry, accurate determination of shelf life is crucial. Traditional methods for testing shelf life rely heavily on natural storage observation, a time-consuming process that cannot meet the needs of companies to quickly adjust production processes, optimize product formulas, and respond to market changes. With increasingly fierce market competition, meat jerky manufacturers have begun using accelerated shelf-life testing cabinets for more accurate and rapid testing. However, existing testing equipment also has drawbacks. Inefficient internal design, such as excessive depth, makes it extremely inconvenient for staff to place or remove meat jerky samples, increasing workload and potentially contaminating the testing environment due to improper operation, thus affecting the accuracy of test results.

[0003] The inventors believe that the following defects often exist: when staff need to put the meat jerky into the test cabinet, the test cabinet is quite deep, making it difficult for staff to take the meat jerky out or put it in from the depth of the test cabinet. This forces staff to bend over and reach into the test cabinet or to remove the support, which causes contamination of the test cabinet or increases the workload of staff. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a meat jerky shelf life acceleration test cabinet is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that in the existing technology, it is difficult for personnel to take meat out or put it in from the depth of the testing cabinet body, which forces the staff to bend over and reach into the testing cabinet body or to remove the support, thereby causing contamination of the testing cabinet body or increasing the workload of the staff. Therefore, a meat jerky shelf life acceleration testing cabinet is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a meat jerky shelf-life acceleration testing cabinet, comprising a testing cabinet body, a central controller mounted on the surface of the testing cabinet body, a temperature controller mounted on the surface of the testing cabinet body, a humidity controller mounted on the surface of the testing cabinet body, a time controller mounted on the surface of the testing cabinet body, a fluorescent lamp mounted on the inner surface of the testing cabinet body, an ultraviolet lamp mounted on the inner surface of the testing cabinet body, a humidifier mounted inside the testing cabinet body, a hot air blower mounted inside the testing cabinet body, four supports fixedly connected to the inner surface of the testing cabinet body, the four supports being grouped in pairs, a push-pull device provided on the side of the two groups of supports close to each other, the push-pull device comprising four U-shaped frames, the four U-shaped frames being grouped in pairs, the two groups of U-shaped frames being fixedly connected to the side of the two groups of supports close to each other, a placement plate slidably connected inside each group of U-shaped frames, a square frame fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate, and a handle fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate.

[0006] The aforementioned components achieve the following effect: by setting up a push-pull device, the meat jerky that needs to be tested for shelf life can be quickly taken out or put into the testing cabinet. This avoids situations where the testing cabinet is too deep for staff to easily remove or put in the meat jerky, forcing staff to bend over and reach into the testing cabinet or remove the support, which could contaminate the testing cabinet or increase the workload of staff. This improves the practicality of the device.

[0007] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped frame, an operating plate is slidably connected to the arc surface of the fixing rod, an insertion rod is fixedly connected to one side of the operating plate, and two slots are formed on the surface of the placement plate.

[0008] The aforementioned components achieve the following effect: they fix and limit the placement plate, preventing the placement plate from sliding unintentionally within the U-shaped frame due to tilting of the ground on which the test cabinet is placed or external impacts on the test cabinet, thus preventing the placement plate from detaching from the U-shaped frame.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing rod away from the U-shaped frame, and the size of the insertion rod is adapted to the size of the placement plate slot.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that the limiting plate restricts the maximum sliding distance of the operating plate on the arc surface of the fixed rod, thus preventing the operating plate from detaching from the arc surface of the fixed rod due to excessive pulling force when the operator pulls it.

[0011] Preferably, the arc surface of the fixing rod is fitted with a first spring, and the two ends of the first spring are fixedly connected to the operating plate and the U-shaped frame, respectively.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that the first spring improves the stability of the insertion rod when it limits the placement plate.

[0013] Preferably, the surface of the placement plate is provided with a protective device, the protective device including two sliding rods, the two sliding rods being fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate, the arc surface of the sliding rods being slidably connected to sliding blocks, the side of the two sliding blocks that are close to each other being fixedly connected to a protective shell, one end of the two sliding rods being fixedly connected to a strip plate, and one side of the protective shell being fixedly connected to two L-shaped frames, the L-shaped frames having drive rods threaded into them, and one end of the drive rods being rotatably connected to a connecting block.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is as follows: by setting up a protective device, the meat on the placement board is protected from dust. This avoids the situation where, when staff need to remove the placement board for observation after testing, external dust falls directly onto the meat on the placement board, causing contamination of the meat after testing and affecting the accuracy of the staff's observation. This improves the protective performance of the device.

[0015] Preferably, a second spring is fitted onto the arc surface of the sliding rod, and the two ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the sliding block and the strip plate, respectively.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that the second spring automatically pulls the protective shell upwards, preventing the protective shell from being too low when the meat on the placement plate is inside the test cabinet, thus avoiding the situation where the meat testing environment does not meet the standards, and improving the convenience of the device.

[0017] Preferably, a positioning rod is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block near the drive rod, and the arc surface of the positioning rod is slidably connected to the L-shaped frame.

[0018] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: the positioning rod restricts the connecting block from rotating with the drive rod, improves the stability of the connecting block when it abuts against the square frame, and provides accurate and stable guidance for the connecting block.

[0019] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. In this utility model, the push-pull device achieves the effect of quickly taking out or putting in the meat jerky that needs to be tested for shelf life, thus avoiding the situation where the depth of the test cabinet is too deep when the staff needs to put the meat jerky into the test cabinet, making it difficult for the staff to take out or put in the test cabinet, which would cause the staff to bend over and reach into the test cabinet or have to remove the support, thereby causing contamination of the test cabinet or increasing the workload of the staff, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0021] 2. In this utility model, by setting a protective device, the meat pie on the removed placement board is protected from dust. This avoids the situation where, when staff need to remove the placed board for observation after testing, external dust falls directly onto the meat pie on the placement board, causing contamination of the tested meat pie and affecting the accuracy of the staff's observation. This improves the protective performance of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a meat jerky shelf-life accelerated testing cabinet, including a testing cabinet body 1. A central controller 2 is installed on the surface of the testing cabinet body 1. A temperature controller 3 is installed on the surface of the testing cabinet body 1. A humidity controller 4 is installed on the surface of the testing cabinet body 1. A time controller 5 is installed on the surface of the testing cabinet body 1. A fluorescent lamp 6 is installed on the inner surface of the testing cabinet body 1. An ultraviolet lamp 7 is installed on the inner surface of the testing cabinet body 1. A humidifier 8 is installed inside the testing cabinet body 1. A hot air blower 9 is installed inside the testing cabinet body 1. Four supports 10 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the testing cabinet body 1. The four supports 10 are arranged in pairs. A push-pull device 11 is provided on the side of the two pairs of supports 10 that are close to each other. By setting the push-pull device 11, the meat jerky that needs to be tested for shelf-life can be quickly taken out or put into the testing cabinet body 1, avoiding the need for manual operation. When personnel need to place the meat pie into the test cabinet body 1, the test cabinet body 1 is quite deep, making it difficult for personnel to remove or place the meat pie from the depths of the test cabinet body 1. This forces personnel to bend over and reach into the test cabinet body 1 or to remove the support 10, which may cause contamination of the test cabinet body 1 or increase the workload of personnel. To improve the practicality of the device, a protective device 12 is provided on the surface of the placement plate 112. By setting the protective device 12, the meat pie on the placement plate 112 is protected from dust. This avoids the situation where, when personnel need to remove the placement plate 112 for observation, external dust falls directly into the meat pie on the placement plate 112, causing contamination of the meat pie after testing and affecting the accuracy of the personnel's observation. This improves the protective performance of the device.

[0031] The specific configuration and function of its push-pull device 11 and protective device 12 will be described in detail below.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: the push-pull device 11 includes four U-shaped frames 111, which are arranged in pairs. Two pairs of U-shaped frames 111 are fixedly connected to the sides of two sets of supports 10 that are close to each other. A placement plate 112 is slidably connected inside each U-shaped frame 111. A square frame 113 is fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate 112. A handle 114 is fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate 112. A fixing rod 115 is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped frame 111. An operating plate 116 is slidably connected to the arc surface of the fixing rod 115. One side of the operating plate 116 is fixedly connected to... The insertion rod 117 and the surface of the placement plate 112 have two slots. When the operator pushes the placement plate 112 into the U-shaped frame 111, they press the operating plate 116. The operating plate 116 slides on the arc surface of the fixing rod 115, and at the same time, the operating plate 116 drives the insertion rod 117 to move until the insertion rod 117 is inserted into the slot of the placement plate 112. At this time, the placement plate 112 is fixed and limited, which prevents the placement plate 112 from unintentionally sliding within the U-shaped frame 111 if the ground on which the test cabinet body 1 is placed is tilted or if the test cabinet body 1 is hit by external collisions. This movement causes the placement plate 112 to detach from the U-shaped frame 111. A limiting plate 118 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing rod 115 away from the U-shaped frame 111. The size of the insertion rod 117 matches the size of the slot for the placement plate 112. When the operator pulls the operating plate 116, the operating plate 116 slides on the arc surface of the fixing rod 115. At this time, the limiting plate 118 effectively limits the maximum sliding distance of the operating plate 116 on the arc surface of the fixing rod 115, preventing the operating plate 112 from detaching from the U-shaped frame 111 due to excessive pulling force. When the 16th rod detaches from the arc surface of the fixed rod 115, a first spring 119 is fitted on the arc surface of the fixed rod 115. The two ends of the first spring 119 are fixedly connected to the operating plate 116 and the U-shaped frame 111, respectively. When the operator releases the operating plate 116, the rebound force of the first spring 119 causes the operating plate 116 to slide on the arc surface of the fixed rod 115. At the same time, the operating plate 116 drives the insertion rod 117 to move until the insertion rod 117 is inserted into the slot of the placement plate 112. At this time, the first spring 119 improves the stability of the insertion rod 117 when it limits the placement plate 112.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, specifically, the protective device 12 includes two sliding rods 121, which are fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate 112. Sliding blocks 122 are slidably connected to the arc surface of the sliding rods 121. A protective shell 123 is fixedly connected to the side of the two sliding blocks 122 that is close to each other. A strip plate 124 is fixedly connected to one end of each sliding rod 121. Two L-shaped frames 125 are fixedly connected to one side of the protective shell 123. A drive rod 126 is threaded into the L-shaped frame 125. A connecting block 127 is rotatably connected to one end of the drive rod 126. A second spring 129 is sleeved on the arc surface of the sliding rod 121. The two ends of the second spring 129 are fixedly connected to the sliding block 122 and the strip plate 124, respectively. When the worker releases the contact between the connecting block 127 and the square frame 113, the rebound force of the second spring 129 causes the sliding block 122 to slide upwards on the arc surface of the sliding rod 121. The sliding block 122 causes the protective shell 123 to move upwards. When the protective shell 123 is in contact with the strip plate 124, the second spring 129 automatically pulls the protective shell 123 upward, preventing the protective shell 123 from being too low when the meat pie on the placement plate 112 is inside the test cabinet body 1, thus avoiding the situation where the meat pie test environment does not meet the standards. This improves the convenience of the device. The connecting block 127 is fixedly connected to the side of the drive rod 126. The arc surface of the positioning rod 128 is slidably connected to the L-shaped frame 125. When the operator rotates the drive rod 126, the drive rod 126 moves threadedly inside the L-shaped frame 125. At the same time, the drive rod 126 drives the connecting block 127 to move. The connecting block 127 drives the positioning rod 128 to slide inside the L-shaped frame 125. At this time, the positioning rod 128 achieves the effect of limiting the connecting block 127 to rotate with the drive rod 126, improving the stability of the connecting block 127 when it abuts against the square frame 113, and providing accurate and stable guidance for the connecting block 127.

[0034] Working principle: During operation, the meat jerky is placed in the square rack 113 on the placement plate 112. According to process requirements, the required working time is set on the time controller 5, the required temperature is set on the temperature controller 3, and the required humidity is set on the humidity controller 4. Through the central controller 2, the ultraviolet lamp 7, fluorescent lamp 6, humidifier 8, and hot air blower 9 are activated. At this time, the meat jerky shelf-life accelerator enters working mode. According to the parameter settings, it accelerates the spoilage process of the meat jerky, thereby achieving rapid shelf-life testing. In the test cabinet body 1, four U-shaped racks 111 are connected in pairs to two sets of supports 10. The placement plate 112 is slidably connected inside each U-shaped rack 111. Operators can slide the placement plate 112 out of or push it in from the U-shaped rack 111 by pulling the handle 114 on the surface of the placement plate 112. To facilitate the handling of meat jerky, after the placement plate 112 is pushed into the U-shaped frame 111, pressing the operation plate 116 causes the operation plate 116 to slide on the arc surface of the fixing rod 115, driving the insertion rod 117 to insert into the slot on the surface of the placement plate 112, thus fixing and limiting the placement plate 112 and preventing it from unintentionally sliding off the U-shaped frame 111 due to ground tilt or external collision. When the operation plate 116 is pulled, the limiting plate 118 at the end of the fixing rod 115 limits the sliding distance of the operation plate 116, preventing it from detaching from the fixing rod 115 due to excessive pulling force. The first spring 119, which is sleeved on the arc surface of the fixing rod 115, will cause the operation plate 116 to slide after the operator releases the operation plate 116, allowing the insertion rod 117 to insert into the slot, thus improving the stability of the insertion rod 117 in limiting the placement plate 112.

[0035] Two sliding rods 121 are fixed to the surface of the placement plate 112. Sliding blocks 122 are fitted onto the sliding rods 121. A protective shell 123, connected to the sliding rods 121, protects the meat jerky. When the placement plate 112 is being tested inside the testing cabinet body 1, the second spring 129 fitted onto the sliding rods 121 exerts its rebound force, causing the sliding blocks 122 to slide upwards along the sliding rods 121. This, in turn, causes the protective shell 123 to rise until it is flush with the strip plate 124. When staff need to remove the meat jerky from the placement plate 112 for observation, they press the protective shell 123. 123 drives the sliding block 122 to slide downward on the sliding rod 121 until the protective shell 123 is in contact with the square frame 113. At this time, by rotating the drive rod 126 inside the L-shaped frame 125, the threaded movement of the drive rod 126 drives the connecting block 127, so that the connecting block 127 abuts against the square frame 113. The positioning rod 128 connected to the connecting block 127 slides inside the L-shaped frame 125, restricting the connecting block 127 from rotating with the drive rod 126, ensuring the stability and guidance of the contact, playing a dustproof role for the meat jerky, avoiding external dust contamination, and improving the protection and convenience of the device.
