Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a beef jerky processing and drying device. Background Technology

[0002] The processing and air-drying equipment is used in the air-drying process of beef jerky production, which can achieve rapid and uniform air-drying of beef jerky, thereby improving the quality and production efficiency of beef jerky.

[0003] In beef jerky processing, air drying is a key step that determines the product's taste and shelf life. Traditional beef jerky air drying equipment has many shortcomings. On the one hand, the air drying method is singular, relying mainly on natural wind or airflow in a fixed direction, which leads to inconsistent air drying speeds in different parts of the beef jerky, resulting in some parts being over-dried or under-dried. On the other hand, the fixed placement structure of the beef jerky makes it impossible to flexibly adjust its position and angle, resulting in limited contact area with the airflow and low air drying efficiency.

[0004] Although some existing air-drying devices have added fans, they have not solved the problem of synergistic coordination of airflow distribution, material contact and humidity control from a mechanical structure perspective.

[0005] To address the above issues, we have developed a beef jerky processing and drying device. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model discloses a beef jerky processing and air-drying device, which aims to solve the technical problems in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A beef jerky processing and drying device includes a drying cabinet and two racks. The racks are fixedly connected inside the drying cabinet. A U-shaped connecting pipe is rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the drying cabinet and outside the racks. Air nozzles are equidistantly fixed to both sides inside the connecting pipes, and each nozzle communicates with its corresponding connecting pipe. A rotary joint is fixedly connected to the top of each connecting pipe. An air inlet pipe is fixedly connected between the tops of the two rotary joints. A worm gear is fixedly connected to the outside of each connecting pipe. Two fixed plates are fixedly connected to the top of the drying cabinet, and a worm is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates. The worm gear meshes with the worm. A motor is fixedly connected to one side of one of the fixed plates, and the motor's output shaft passes through the fixed plate and is fixedly connected to one end of the worm.

[0009] Place the beef jerky on the rack. External air is supplied through the air inlet pipe and rotary joint into the connecting pipe, and blown onto the beef jerky from the air outlet nozzle. The motor drives the worm gear to rotate, which in turn rotates the connecting pipe through the worm wheel, allowing the air outlet nozzle to dry the beef jerky from multiple angles, ensuring even drying.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the placement rack has a clamping plate inside, and the central shaft of the placement rack is threaded with a nut that mates with the clamping plate.

[0011] Lay the beef jerky on the rack, turn the nut to push the clamp to press the beef jerky tightly, prevent the beef jerky from being blown away and stacked during the air drying process, and ensure that each piece of beef jerky can fully contact the airflow to improve the air drying efficiency.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a moisture-absorbing pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drying cabinet, one end of which extends into the interior of the drying cabinet, and the other end of which is away from the drying cabinet is connected to an external moisture-absorbing device.

[0013] During the air-drying process, the moisture released by the beef jerky increases the humidity inside the cabinet. External dehumidification equipment then extracts the moisture through a dehumidification pipe, reducing the humidity inside the cabinet and preventing bacteria from growing in the beef jerky due to dampness, thus ensuring product quality.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a temperature sensor is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the drying cabinet.

[0015] During the drying process, temperature sensors monitor the temperature inside the cabinet in real time. When the temperature is too high and may affect the taste of the beef jerky, the sensors provide timely feedback to adjust the air intake temperature and ensure a suitable drying environment.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, two ends of one side of the drying cabinet are rotatably connected to a matching sealing door, and a data display and control panel are fixedly connected to the outside of one of the sealing doors. The motor and temperature sensor are both electrically connected to the data display and control panel.

[0017] Staff can set drying parameters through the data display and control panel. The panel displays the temperature inside the cabinet in real time and automatically adjusts the motor speed to control the rotation speed of the connecting pipe, realizing intelligent drying operation and reducing manual intervention.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the drying cabinet is fixedly connected to four support legs, and each support leg is fixedly connected to a shock-absorbing pad.

[0019] The vibrations generated by the motor and airflow are mitigated by the shock-absorbing pads at the bottom of the support legs, preventing the drying cabinet from resonating with the ground and generating noise, while also preventing the beef jerky on the rack from shifting due to vibration.

[0020] The beef jerky processing and air-drying device provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] In this invention, the air inlet pipe supplies air to the inside of the connecting pipe through a rotary joint. Then, the connecting pipe rotates the placement rack in all directions through the meshing of the worm gear and worm, so that the multi-directional airflow dries the beef jerky. This solves the problem of local over-drying in traditional devices and greatly improves the work quality and efficiency compared to traditional devices. Attached Figure Description

The output shaft of the motor 10 passes through the fixed plate 8 and is fixedly connected to one end of the worm 9.

[0032] In this embodiment: the beef jerky is placed on the rack 2, and the external air source is sent into the connecting pipe 3 through the air inlet pipe 6 and the rotary joint 5. The air is blown towards the beef jerky from the air outlet nozzle 4. The motor 10 drives the worm gear 9 to rotate, and the connecting pipe 3 is rotated through the worm wheel 7, so that the air outlet nozzle 4 dries the beef jerky from multiple angles, ensuring uniform drying.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the placement rack 2 is provided with a clamping plate 11 inside, and the central shaft of the placement rack 2 is threaded with a nut 12 that cooperates with the clamping plate 11.

[0034] In this embodiment: the beef jerky is laid on the rack 2, and the nut 12 is rotated to push the clamp 11 to press the beef jerky, so as to prevent the beef jerky from being blown away and stacked during the air drying process, and to ensure that each piece of beef jerky can fully contact the airflow and improve the air drying efficiency.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, a moisture-absorbing pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drying cabinet 1. One end of the moisture-absorbing pipe 13 extends into the interior of the drying cabinet 1, and the other end of the moisture-absorbing pipe 13 away from the drying cabinet 1 is connected to an external moisture-absorbing device.

[0036] In this embodiment: During air drying, the moisture released by the beef jerky increases the humidity inside the cabinet. The external moisture absorption device extracts the moisture through the moisture absorption pipe 13, reducing the humidity inside the cabinet and preventing bacteria from growing in the beef jerky due to dampness, thus ensuring product quality.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, a temperature sensor 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the drying cabinet 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, during the drying process, the temperature sensor 14 monitors the temperature inside the cabinet in real time.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the drying cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to four support legs 17, and the bottom of each support leg 17 is fixedly connected to a shock-absorbing pad.

[0042] In this embodiment: the vibration generated by the motor 10 and the airflow is reduced by the shock-absorbing pads at the bottom of the support leg 17, which prevents the drying cabinet 1 from resonating with the ground and generating noise, and at the same time prevents the beef jerky on the shelf 2 from shifting due to vibration.

[0043] Working principle: During use, motor 10 drives worm 9 to rotate, and worm 9 meshes with worm wheel 7 to drive connecting pipe 3 to rotate. Air inlet pipe 6 sends air into connecting pipe 3 through rotary joint 5, and air outlet nozzle 4 sprays out drying air evenly. Beef jerky is fixed on the placement rack 2 by clamp plate 11 and nut 12, and moisture absorption pipe 13 discharges moisture from the box. Temperature sensor 14 monitors the temperature inside the box, and the data is displayed on control panel 16 to adjust motor 10 and temperature. Sealing door 15 ensures the box is sealed, and support legs 17 and shock-absorbing pads provide stable support, achieving uniform drying and efficient moisture removal of beef jerky.
