Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beef product processing technology, specifically to a drying device for beef product processing. Background Technology
[0002] Beef jerky is generally made by marinating beef with other seasonings. The drying equipment used in beef jerky production mainly removes the moisture from the beef, making it dry and easy to preserve and eat.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN212030120U discloses a hot air combined drying device for beef jerky processing, specifically belonging to the technical field of beef processing equipment. The hot air combined drying device for beef jerky processing includes a motor, a drying chamber door, a drying chamber, an air supply box, and a base. Rollers are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the bottom of the base, and a drying chamber is installed on the upper side of the base. The drying chamber has a drying chamber door with an observation window, and a handle is installed below the observation window. The combined use of the air supply pipe, air plate, air jet pipe, and air jet nozzle allows for all-around air drying of the beef, achieving a highly efficient drying effect. The heater, used in conjunction with the air supply box, allows the water droplets and steam falling during the drying process to evaporate quickly, improving the drying efficiency and cycle of the hot air combined drying device. The filter layer inside the air supply box initially filters bacteria and dust from the air, preventing the beef from absorbing dust and causing secondary contamination. The existing technology has the following problems:
[0004] While the aforementioned literature suggests ways to avoid contamination during beef jerky drying and improve drying efficiency, in actual use, the beef jerky can only be hung on hooks fixed to connecting rods. This means that after each drying cycle, the beef jerky on multiple hooks must be collected one by one inside the box, resulting in low collection efficiency. Furthermore, as the dried beef loses moisture, its volume shrinks and hardens, causing some beef to break during worker handling. This leaves beef residue on the hooks, which is difficult to clean due to its tight adhesion, making it prone to bacterial growth. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention provides a drying device for beef product processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a drying equipment for beef product processing, including a drying chamber 1. A door 2 is provided on the front side of the drying chamber 1, and the door 2 has a viewing window 3. A filter air inlet 4 is provided on the right side of the drying chamber 1. A servo motor 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the drying chamber 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 13 passes through the inner cavity of the drying chamber 1 and is fixedly installed on a turntable 131. Four beef jerky fixing mechanisms 14 are arranged in a circular array at the bottom of the turntable 131. A warm air pipe 11 is fixedly installed on the right side of the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. The top of the warm air pipe 11... Two mirror-shaped air outlet risers 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the unit, and several air outlets 121 are evenly fixedly connected to the opposite faces of the two opposite air outlet risers 12. Two of the four beef jerky fixing mechanisms 14 are located between the opposite faces of the two mirror-shaped air outlet risers 12. A hot air blower is installed in the inner cavity of the drying box 1. The hot air blower adopts a high-power industrial hot air blower, which is the existing technology of the dryer. Its specific functions will not be described in detail here. The input end of the hot air blower is located to the left of the filter air inlet 4, and the output end of the hot air blower is fixedly connected to the right end of the warm air pipe 11.
[0025] During use, the hot air from outside is drawn in through the filter screen air inlet 4 by the hot air blower built into the drying box 1. After being heated, the air is blown into the four air outlet pipes 12 through the warm air pipe 11 and blown towards the beef jerky fixing mechanism 14 through the air outlet 121. At the same time, the servo motor 13 is started to control the turntable 131 to rotate slowly, so that the four beef jerky fixing mechanisms 14 slowly and evenly pass between the two mirrored air outlet pipes 12, thereby performing continuous hot air drying.
[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, each of the four beef jerky fixing mechanisms 14 includes a mounting top plate 141. A T-shaped slot 142 penetrating the bottom of each mounting top plate 141 is provided on one side away from the center of the turntable 131. A T-shaped locking plate 146 is engaged within the inner cavity of the T-shaped slot 142. A threaded mating hole 143 penetrating to the parallel side of the mounting top plate 141 is provided vertically at the T-shaped slot 142. A threaded locking hole 147 penetrating horizontally is provided vertically at the T-shaped locking plate 146. The mating hole 143 and the threaded locking hole 147 are interconnected. The inner ring thread of the threaded mating hole 143 is fitted with a threaded rod 144. A knob 145 is fixedly installed at one end of the threaded rod 144 away from the threaded mating hole 143. The other end of the threaded rod 144 is threadedly connected to the threaded locking hole 147. Hanging columns 148 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical position of the four T-shaped plates 146. Several beef jerky hanging mechanisms 149 are set on the left and right sides of the four hanging columns 148.
[0027] When the drying process is complete and the beef jerky needs to be removed, simply rotate the knob 145 to rotate the threaded rod 144. This allows the threaded rod 144 to completely disengage from the T-shaped slot 142 through the threaded connection between the threaded rod 144 and the threaded locking hole 147 and the threaded mating hole 143, thus releasing the restriction on the T-shaped plate 146. This allows the T-shaped plate 146, which is located at the front of the four beef jerky fixing mechanisms 14, to slide forward, thereby causing the entire hanging column 148 to fall off. This makes it easy to remove the beef jerky fixed by the beef jerky suspension mechanism 149 from the inner cavity of the drying box 1. Similarly, during installation, simply align the T-shaped plate 146 with the T-shaped slot 142 and insert it, aligning the threaded mating hole 143 with the threaded locking hole 147. Then, align the threaded rod 144 with the threaded mating hole 143 and rotate it again until it is threadedly connected to the threaded locking hole 147, thus completing the fixing of the T-shaped plate 146.
[0028] like Figure 4As shown, lifting slides 1481 are provided on both the left and right sides of the hanging column 148. A sliding rod 1482 is fixedly installed between the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the lifting slide 1481. The beef jerky suspension mechanism 149 includes a lifting slide plate 1491, which is slidably connected to the sliding rod 1482. Two through slots 1483 are provided on the front side of the hanging column 148, extending into the inner cavity of the lifting slide 1481. A threaded hole 1492 is provided at the front end of the lifting slide plate 1491. The inner ring thread of 492 is fitted with a locking thread rod 1495. The front end of the locking thread rod 1495 passes through the through groove 1483 to the front side of the hanging column 148 and is fixedly installed with a rotating block. The lifting slide plate 1491 has several vertically penetrating snap holes 1493. The snap rod 1494 is slidably provided inside the snap hole 1493. The bottom end of the snap rod 1494 is fixedly installed with a door-shaped plate 1496. The bottom of the door-shaped plate 1496 is provided with a stainless steel clip 1497.
[0029] When the beef jerky is of different lengths, the locking threaded rod 1495 can be loosened by rotating it, thereby releasing the compression limit between the other end of the threaded hole 1492 and the slide rod 1482. The lifting slide plate 1491 can then slide up and down on the outer wall of the slide rod 1482 within the lifting slide groove 1481. After adjustment, the locking threaded rod 1495 is reversed until it passes through the threaded hole 1492 and abuts against the slide rod 1482, thus limiting the height of the lifting slide plate 1491. This can accommodate beef jerky of different lengths. When fixing the beef jerky, the stainless steel clip 1497 can be used to clamp it. Even after the beef jerky has dried, it can still be held stably by the elasticity of the torsion spring of the stainless steel clip 1497. After clamping, the stainless steel clip 1497 can be fixed by inserting it from bottom to top into the snap-fit hole 1493 using the snap-fit rod 1494 at the top of the portal plate 1496, thus completing the suspension.
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the latching rod 1494 has a latching compartment 14941. Two sliders 14942 are slidably installed in the inner cavity of the latching compartment 14941. V-shaped spring pieces 14943 are fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the two sliders 14942. An inclined latching block 14944 is fixedly installed on the side of the two sliders 14942 away from the V-shaped spring piece 14943. The other ends of the two inclined latching blocks 14944 pass through to the left and right sides of the latching rod 1494 respectively. The top of the inclined latching block 14944 is inclined and the bottom is horizontal. The bottom horizontal surface of the inclined latching block 14944 is in contact with the top of the lifting slide plate 1491.
[0031] When the locking rod 1494 is engaged with the locking hole 1493, it will press the upper slope of the inclined locking blocks 14944 on both sides of the locking rod 1494, thereby pressing the threaded hole 1492 against the locking hole 1493. With the elasticity of the locking hole 1493, the inclined locking blocks 14944 can pop out the moment they reach the top of the lifting slide plate 1491. The bottom horizontal plane of the inclined locking blocks 14944 is used to limit the movement and ensure the stability of the installation. When the stainless steel clip 1497 needs to be disinfected and cleaned, you only need to pinch the inclined locking blocks 14944 on both sides of the locking rod 1494 with two fingers at the same time and pull the stainless steel clip 1497 down to complete the disassembly, which is convenient for separate cleaning and disinfection.
[0032] The working principle of this drying equipment for beef product processing will be explained in detail below.
[0033] like Figure 1-5As shown, during use, the hot air from outside is drawn in through the filter inlet 4 by the built-in hot air fan in the drying chamber 1, heated, and then blown into the four air outlet pipes 12 through the warm air pipe 11. The air then flows through the air outlet 121 towards the beef jerky fixing mechanism 14. Simultaneously, the servo motor 13 is activated to control the turntable 131 to rotate slowly, allowing the four beef jerky fixing mechanisms 14 to slowly and evenly pass between the two mirrored air outlet pipes 12, thus continuously circulating hot air for drying. When the drying process is complete and the beef jerky needs to be removed, simply rotate the knob 145 to rotate the threaded rod 144. This allows the threaded rod 144 to completely disengage from the T-shaped slot 142 through the threaded connection between the threaded rod 144 and the threaded locking hole 147 and threaded mating hole 143. Releasing the limiting position on the T-shaped clamp 146 allows the T-shaped clamp 146 included in the front of the four beef jerky fixing mechanisms 14 to slide forward, thereby causing the entire hanging column 148 to detach. This facilitates the removal of the beef jerky fixed by the beef jerky suspension mechanism 149 from the drying chamber 1 for retrieval. Similarly, during installation, simply align the T-shaped clamp 146 with the T-shaped slot 142 and insert it, aligning the threaded mating hole 143 with the threaded locking hole 147. Then, align the threaded rod 144 with the threaded mating hole 143 and rotate it again until it is threadedly connected to the threaded locking hole 147, thus completing the fixing of the T-shaped clamp 146. When the length of the beef jerky is different, the locking threaded rod 1495 can be loosened by rotating it, thereby releasing the clamp. The other end of the threaded hole 1492 is pressed and limited by the slide rod 1482, allowing the lifting slide plate 1491 to slide up and down on the outer wall of the slide rod 1482 within the lifting slide groove 1481. After adjustment, the locking threaded rod 1495 is reversed until it passes through the threaded hole 1492 and abuts against the slide rod 1482, thus limiting the height of the lifting slide plate 1491. This can accommodate beef jerky of different lengths. When fixing the beef jerky, it can be clamped using the stainless steel clamp 1497. Even after the beef jerky has dried, it can still be held stably by the elasticity of the torsion spring of the stainless steel clamp 1497. After clamping, the stainless steel clamp 1497 can be used to clamp the beef jerky from bottom to top using the snap-fit rod 1494 at the top of the portal plate 1496. The upper clip is fixed in the snap-fit hole 1493 to complete the suspension. When snapped in, it will squeeze the upper slope of the inclined snap-fit block 14944 on both sides of the snap-fit rod 1494, so that the threaded hole 1492 squeezes the snap-fit hole 1493. With the elasticity of the snap-fit hole 1493, the inclined snap-fit block 14944 can pop out the moment it reaches the top of the lifting slide plate 1491. The bottom horizontal surface of the inclined snap-fit block 14944 is used to limit the position and ensure the stability of the installation. When it is necessary to disinfect and clean the stainless steel clip 1497, you only need to pinch the inclined snap-fit block 14944 on both sides of the snap-fit rod 1494 with two fingers at the same time and pull the stainless steel clip 1497 down to complete the disassembly, which facilitates the individual cleaning and disinfection work.
[0034] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
