Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beef processing technology, specifically to a beef jerky drying device with a protective interception structure. Background Technology

[0002] Sun-drying beef jerky is a key process for transforming meat quality under controlled conditions. Its core lies in reducing water activity through gradient dehydration, inhibiting microbial growth and enzymatic deterioration, thus laying the foundation for extended shelf life. During water migration, the muscle fiber network contracts and restructures, enhancing intermolecular protein interactions and forming a dense and resilient texture. Simultaneously, soluble flavor compounds concentrate with water, increasing the perceived umami intensity. The limited catalytic action of endogenous enzymes generates small-molecule flavor precursors, which synergistically with volatile components produced by moderate oxidation to construct a unique flavor profile. Sun-drying also drives the penetration of flavor compounds from the marinade into the muscle fibers, ensuring a uniform flavor distribution.

[0003] According to the authorization announcement number (CN215490732U), the beef jerky drying rack for breeding cattle includes a base with casters fixed to both sides of the bottom. Storage frames are welded to both sides, and the storage frames contain a support mechanism. During drying, the drying tray is first removed, the beef to be dried is placed on the tray, and then the two sides of the drying tray are placed between the upper and lower retaining seats to secure it. The multi-layered rack structure allows for layered drying of the beef at different heights.

[0004] The structure disclosed in this patent has defects in practical application, specifically as follows: During the drying process of beef jerky, the beef to be dried needs to be placed on drying trays, and the multi-layered frame structure is used to achieve layered drying of the beef at different heights. However, during this process, the dried beef jerky will attract small animals due to its own smell. Small animals can easily climb or touch the drying area to steal the beef jerky, which not only causes material loss but also leads to contamination of the beef jerky, affecting product quality and processing hygiene. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a beef jerky drying device with a protective interception structure, which can address the problem in the prior art that small animals are easily attracted by the smell and steal the beef jerky during the drying process, resulting in material loss and product contamination. This device can effectively prevent small animals from approaching the drying area, avoid material loss and product contamination caused by stealing the beef jerky, and improve the safety and hygiene of the beef jerky drying process.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A beef jerky drying device with a protective interception structure includes: a drying frame with a material inlet for loading and unloading beef jerky, and two opposing positioning slots on the inner side wall of the bottom end of the material inlet; multiple load-bearing components installed from top to bottom inside the drying frame; two protective baffles installed opposite each other on both sides of the material inlet, rotatably connected to the drying frame, and having receiving channels at their bottom ends; and positioning components installed in the receiving channels. When the two protective baffles rotate towards each other to a closed state, the positioning components can engage with the corresponding positioning slots to achieve the closure and locking of the material inlet.

[0008] Furthermore, in this utility model, the positioning component includes: a positioning pin, which is at least partially disposed in the receiving channel and slides in a guiding manner with the receiving channel; and an elastic reset member, which is disposed in the receiving channel, with one end of the elastic reset member connected to the inner wall of the receiving channel and the other end of the elastic reset member connected to the positioning pin.

[0009] Furthermore, in this utility model, the protective baffle is provided with a guide channel, which is connected to the receiving channel; the positioning pin is connected to an operating block, which extends to the outside of the protective baffle after passing through the guide channel, and the operating block can move back and forth along the extension direction of the guide channel, thereby driving the positioning pin to extend and retract along the receiving channel.

[0010] Furthermore, in this utility model, the above-mentioned load-bearing component includes: two supporting horizontal shafts, which are installed opposite each other on the inner side wall of the drying rack in the horizontal direction, and the supporting horizontal shafts are provided with multiple snap-fit ​​slots in the extending direction; and multiple drying rods, which are spaced apart between the two supporting horizontal shafts, and the two ends of the drying rods can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​slots respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, in this utility model, the aforementioned supporting horizontal axis includes a movable frame and a fixed frame; the fixed frame is installed on the inner wall of the drying rack, and the fixed frame is provided with a first guide groove along the extending direction; the movable frame is provided with a guide insert, which is embedded in the first guide groove, and the movable frame can slide back and forth along the extending direction of the fixed frame.

[0012] Furthermore, in this utility model, a connecting frame is installed on the inner wall of the aforementioned protective baffle, and the connecting frame is provided with a second guide groove along the extension direction; wherein, when the protective baffle is flipped outward to a preset angle, the second guide groove and the first guide groove form a continuous sliding path, and the guide insert can slide into the second guide groove along the first guide groove.

[0013] Furthermore, in this utility model, the above also includes a locking pin; a first locking seat is installed on the outer wall of the protective baffle, and the first locking seat has a first locking hole; a second locking seat is installed on the outer wall of the drying rack, and the second locking seat has a second locking hole; wherein, when the protective baffle is flipped outward to a preset angle, the first locking hole and the second locking hole are coaxially aligned, and the locking pin can pass through the first locking hole and the second locking hole in sequence, so that the second guide groove and the first guide groove maintain a continuous sliding path.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The closed locking structure of the protective baffle and the sealing design of the drying rack in this application can meet the needs of preventing interference from small animals during the drying process of beef jerky. The protective baffle opens and closes the material passage through a rotating connection, and the positioning component and the positioning slot form a positioning fit. Together with the protective partitions sealing the rest of the drying rack, it completely replaces the traditional unprotected drying structure, fundamentally solving the problem of material loss and contamination caused by small animals stealing food.

[0016] 2. The extension and sliding function of the movable frame in this application is combined with the guide support design of the protective baffle to form an efficient operating mechanism. The movable frame extends outward by sliding within the first and second guide grooves through guide inserts. After the protective baffle flips over, it provides guide support through the connecting frame. This not only allows the drying rod to be moved outside the drying frame when the beef jerky is being placed or removed, but also ensures structural stability during the extension process. This completely replaces the traditional mode of operation that requires entering the frame, effectively reducing the operational difficulty caused by space constraints and improving the convenience and efficiency of equipment use.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0026] Example

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a beef jerky drying device with a protective interception structure. It includes a drying rack 1, several load-bearing components 4, two protective baffles 3, and a positioning component. The drying rack 1 has a material inlet 2 for loading and unloading beef jerky. Except for the material inlet 2, the remaining areas of the drying rack 1 are sealed by protective partitions 6. This sealing structure ensures ventilation inside the rack to meet the drying requirements of the beef jerky while effectively preventing small animals such as cats and dogs from entering the rack and stealing the beef jerky. Several load-bearing components 4 are installed vertically from top to bottom inside the drying rack 1 to support the sliced ​​beef for drying. The two protective baffles 3 are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the material inlet 2. Both protective baffles 3 are rotatably connected to the drying rack 1 via pins, allowing the protective baffles 3 to rotate around the axis of the pins.

[0028] When the two protective baffles 3 are flipped outwards, the material inlet 2 is open, allowing operators to place and remove beef inside the drying rack 1. When the two protective baffles 3 are rotated towards each other to the closed state, the material inlet 2 is sealed. A receiving channel 13 is provided at the bottom of the protective baffle 3, and a positioning component is installed within this channel 13. Two opposing positioning slots 7 are provided on the inner sidewall of the bottom of the material inlet 2 of the drying rack 1. When the protective baffle 3 is closed, the positioning component is positioned directly above the positioning slot 7 and can engage with the corresponding slot 7 to lock the current position of the protective baffle 3, ensuring a stable and reliable closed state of the material inlet 2.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the positioning component includes a positioning pin 15 and an elastic reset member 14. The positioning pin 15 is at least partially embedded in the receiving channel 13, and the positioning pin 15 and the receiving channel 13 form a sliding guide engagement; the elastic reset member 14 (reset spring) is disposed inside the receiving channel 13, with one end of the elastic reset member 14 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the receiving channel 13 and the other end fixedly connected to the positioning pin 15. When the elastic reset member 14 is in its natural state, the positioning pin 15 extends at least partially to the outside of the receiving channel 13, at which time the positioning pin 15 can form a snap-fit ​​engagement with the positioning slot 7; when it is necessary to release the positioning state, the positioning pin 15 is pressed into the receiving channel 13, causing the elastic reset member 14 to deform until the positioning pin 15 is completely disengaged from the positioning slot 7, thereby releasing the locking of the protective baffle 3.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the protective baffle 3 has a guide channel 16, which is connected to the receiving channel 13. An operating block 17 is fixedly connected to the positioning pin 15. The operating block 17 passes through the guide channel 16 and extends to the outside of the protective baffle 3. The operating block 17 can reciprocate along the extension direction of the guide channel 16, thereby driving the positioning pin 15 to extend and retract along the receiving channel 13. By moving the operating block 17 along a preset path in the guide channel 16, the operator can synchronously extend and retract the positioning pin 15, thus controlling the positioning and engagement state between the positioning pin 15 and the positioning slot 7.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the supporting component 4 includes two supporting horizontal shafts and multiple drying rods 10. The two supporting horizontal shafts are installed horizontally opposite each other on the inner sidewall of the drying rack 1. The two supporting horizontal shafts of the same supporting component 4 are at the same vertical height and are respectively installed on both sides inside the drying rack 1. Multiple snap-fit ​​slots 9 are provided on the supporting horizontal shafts along their extension direction. The multiple drying rods 10 are arranged at intervals between the two supporting horizontal shafts, and the two ends of the drying rods 10 can respectively engage with the corresponding snap-fit ​​slots 9 on the two supporting horizontal shafts. Cut beef strips can be hung on the drying rods 10 for drying using hooks. Operators can selectively adjust the spacing between two adjacent drying rods 10 according to the size specifications of the beef, and simultaneously selectively adjust the spacing between two adjacent supporting components 4 in the vertical direction.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 4In some embodiments of this application, the supporting horizontal axis is composed of a movable frame 24 and a fixed frame 8. The fixed frame 8 is connected to the inner wall of the drying rack 1. The movable frame 24 is assembled to the fixed frame 8 through the fitting of the guide insert 11 and the first guide groove 12, realizing the reciprocating sliding function along the extension direction of the fixed frame 8. Multiple drying rods 10 can be installed between the two movable frames 24 of the same bearing component 4. When the operator pushes the drying rods 10, the two movable frames 24 can be slid simultaneously. When performing the beef placement and removal operation, the two protective baffles 3 are flipped outward to avoid the sliding path of the movable frames 24. Then, the two movable frames 24 are controlled to move a preset distance to the outside of the drying rack 1, so that the operator can complete the placement and removal of beef on the drying rods 10 from outside the drying rack 1 without entering the drying rack 1. This avoids the problem of limited movement caused by the internal space of the drying rack 1, and effectively improves the efficiency of beef drying operation.

[0033] For example, a connecting frame 18 is installed on the inner wall of the protective baffle 3, and the connecting frame 18 has a second guide groove 19 along its extension direction. When the protective baffle 3 is flipped outward to a preset angle, the second guide groove 19 and the first guide groove 12 form a continuous sliding path, and the guide insert 11 can slide into the second guide groove 19 along the first guide groove 12. The operator can flip the protective baffle 3 outward to a preset angle so that the fixed frame 8 and the connecting frame 18 are docked. Then, the sliding movable frame 24 moves outward, and the movable frame 24 drives the guide insert 11 to move synchronously. When part of the structure of the guide insert 11 is disengaged from the first guide groove 12, it can enter the second guide groove 19. At this time, part of the guide insert 11 is located in the first guide groove 12 and the other part is located in the second guide groove 19, which can limit the current angle of the protective baffle 3 and enhance the support stability of the movable frame 24. At the same time, this structure allows the movable frame 24 to move outward to a greater distance, making it easier to operate the innermost drying rod 10.

[0034] It should be noted that when the protective baffle 3 is flipped outward to a preset angle, a preset gap is reserved between the connecting frame 18 and the fixed frame 8. The gap is designed to prevent structural interference between the connecting frame 18 and the fixed frame 8 during the closing process of the protective baffle 3.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 5In some embodiments of this application, a first locking seat 22 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the protective baffle 3, and the first locking seat 22 has a first locking hole 23; a second locking seat 20 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drying rack 1, and the second locking seat 20 has a second locking hole 21; wherein, when the protective baffle 3 is flipped outward to a preset angle, the first locking hole 23 and the second locking hole 21 are coaxially aligned, and the locking pin can pass through the first locking hole 23 and the second locking hole 21 in sequence, so that the second guide slide 19 and the first guide slide 12 maintain a continuous sliding path.

[0036] When the protective baffle 3 is flipped outward to the preset angle, the operator can insert the locking pin through the first locking hole 23 and the second locking hole 21 in sequence to lock the protective baffle 3 at the current angle. This structure can make the second guide slide 19 and the first guide slide 12 form a stable and continuous sliding path, eliminating the operator's deviation adjustment step and helping to improve operating efficiency. At the same time, the locking structure can ensure that the guide insert 11 can completely slide out of the first guide slide 12 and enter the second guide slide 19, so that the movable frame 24 can be completely removed from the drying rack 1, so that the operator can carry out the work efficiently.

[0037] For example, a limiting block can be fixed at the end of the second guide groove 19 of the connecting frame 18. The limiting block acts as a functional limiting component at the end of the second guide groove 19, and rigidly constrains the sliding stroke of the guide insert 11 by abutting against it. When the guide insert 11 moves along the continuous sliding path formed by the first guide groove 12 and the second guide groove 19 to the end of the second guide groove 19, the limiting block can limit the further displacement of the guide insert 11 through physical blocking, thereby effectively avoiding the risk that the guide insert 11 will detach from the second guide groove 19 due to excessive sliding.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, sliding wheels 5 can be installed at the bottom of the drying rack 1. The sliding wheels 5 enable displacement adjustment of the overall structure, making operation more convenient when the usage environment needs to be changed. At the same time, in the event of sudden weather conditions such as rain, the sliding wheels 5 can be used to quickly move the drying rack 1, thereby avoiding the impact of rain on the beef during drying and ensuring the continuity of the drying operation and the stability of the beef quality.

[0039] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
