[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] Example
[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention proposes a ham rapid drying device, including a base 1, with support frames 2 on both sides of the base 1, the support frames 2 being fixedly connected to the base 1, and the same mounting rod 3 on the side of the support frames 2 that are close to each other, the mounting rod 3 being fixedly connected to the support frames 2. The support frames 2 can support and position the mounting rod 3. A servo motor 4 is provided on the top surface of one end of the mounting rod 3, the servo motor 4 being fixedly connected to the mounting rod, and a first rotating shaft 5 is provided through the output end of the servo motor 4 through the mounting rod 3, the first rotating shaft 5 being fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 4. A second rotating shaft 6 is rotatably provided on the bottom surface of the other end of the mounting rod 3, the second rotating shaft 6 being rotatably connected to the mounting rod 3, and a sprocket 7 is rotatably provided on the outer ring of both the first rotating shaft 5 and the second rotating shaft 6. A transmission chain 8 is sleeved between the two sprockets 7, and the sprockets 7 and the transmission chain 8 are in a meshing state.
[0025] The bottom surface of the mounting rod 3 is rotatably provided with a third rotating shaft 9. A sliding groove is opened at the bottom of the mounting rod 3. A limit block is connected to the top of the third rotating shaft 9. The limit block is fixedly connected to the third rotating shaft 9. The third rotating shaft 9 is slidably connected to the sliding groove through the limit block. A second sprocket 10 is rotatably provided at the bottom of the third rotating shaft 9. The second sprocket 10 is rotatably connected to the third rotating shaft 9. One side of the second sprocket 10 is engaged with the transmission chain 8. A rotating rod 11 is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting rod 3. The rotating rod 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 3. A connecting rod 12 is provided at the bottom of the rotating rod 11. The connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 11. A fitting groove is opened on one side of the connecting rod 12 corresponding to the third rotating shaft 9. A drying assembly is provided on the bottom surface of one end of the connecting rod 12. The drying assembly includes five support rods 131. The bottom end of the third rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the uppermost support rod 131. The uppermost support rod 131 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 12.
[0026] Two telescopic rods 135 are connected to each other on one side of each support rod 131. The telescopic rods 135 are located at both ends of the support rod 131. The telescopic rods 135 allow the reflector 1331 and the glass plate 1332 to automatically separate up and down before drying, making it easier for workers to put the ham directly into the drying bucket 133, eliminating the hanging process and the need to manually open the drying bucket 133, saving time. The five support rods 131 are connected to the same guide rod 132 in the middle. The guide rod 132 is fixedly connected to the uppermost support rod 131 and slidably connected to the other support rods 131. Through the sliding connection between the guide rod 132 and the other four support rods 131, the slidably connected support rods 131 can slide up and down along the guide rod 132 under the action of the telescopic rods 135. There are six drying buckets 133 between every two support rods 131.
[0027] The drying drum 133 includes a reflector 1331 and a glass plate 1332. The glass plate 1332 allows sunlight to enter the drying drum 133, and the reflector 1331 reflects the sunlight, allowing the ham to dry better and improving drying efficiency. The reflector 1331 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the adjacent support rod 131, and the glass plate 1332 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the adjacent support rod 131. A drying net 1333 is connected to one side of the inside of the reflector 1331, and the drying net 1333 is fixedly connected to the reflector 1331. A drying net is also connected to one side of the reflector 1331. The first row of oil pipes 1334 is fixedly connected to the reflector 1331. The drying net 1333 is set at an angle, with its lower end located on one side of the first row of oil pipes 1334. By setting the drying net 1333, when the ham is put into the drying barrel 133, it can prevent the ham from directly contacting the bottom of the barrel and prevent contamination. Due to the mesh structure of the drying net 1333, air can circulate better, speeding up the drying process. At the same time, the oil produced during the drying process can flow along the drying net 1333 to the first row of oil pipes 1334 set on the same side, which is convenient for the oil to be discharged.
[0028] The top surface of the base 1 is provided with an oil collection trough. The bottom end of the first row of oil pipes 1334 on one side of each drying barrel 133 is connected to the same second row of oil pipes 1335. The second row of oil pipes 1335 is located above the oil collection trough. Through the setting of the second row of oil pipes 1335, the oil discharged from the first row of oil pipes 1334 can be discharged into the oil collection trough through the second row of oil pipes 1335. At the same time, the second row of oil pipes 1335 is always located above the oil collection trough. Therefore, when the drying components rotate, it can be ensured that the oil is always discharged into the oil collection trough. Ventilation holes are provided on one side of the reflector 1331 and the glass plate 1332 to allow better air circulation in the drying barrel 133 and improve drying efficiency. The third support rod 131 is located in the middle and is connected to a sunlight tracker 14. The sunlight tracker 14 can keep the glass plate 1332 facing the side with sunlight, prolong the exposure time to sunlight and speed up the drying process.
[0029] In this embodiment, during the use of the ham rapid drying device, the telescopic rods 135 fixed at both ends of the support rod 131 extend, causing the support rod 131 to slide in the opposite direction along the guide rod 132. Simultaneously, this causes the glass plate 1332 and reflector 1331 fixed to the support rod 131 to move in the opposite direction, opening the drying barrel 133. The ham is then placed into the drying barrel 133 through the opening at the top, and the ham is placed on the drying net 1333. The telescopic rods 135 then extend after the ham is placed in the drying barrel 133. The drying rack is closed, and during the drying process, sunlight shines on the ham inside the drying rack 133 through the glass plate 1332. The sunlight is then refracted by the reflector 1331, so that the entire ham is exposed to sunlight. The oil produced during the drying process flows along the drying net 1333 to the first row of oil pipes 1334 located at the bottom of the drying rack on the same side. Then, the oil flows from the first row of oil pipes 1334 through the second row of oil pipes 1335 which are fixedly connected, and finally flows from the second row of oil pipes 1335 into the oil collection tank located below.
[0030] The sunlight tracker 14 installed on the support rod 131 tracks the position of the sunlight, ensuring that it always faces the sun. This also ensures that the drying assembly fixedly connected to the sunlight always faces the sun. The sunlight tracker 14 is electrically connected to the servo motor 4 fixedly installed on the mounting rod 3. When the sunlight tracker 14 detects a deviation in sunlight, it causes the servo motor 4 to start operating. The operation of the servo motor 4 drives the sprocket 7 connected to the bottom of the first rotating shaft 5 to rotate, and at the same time drives the transmission chain 8 sleeved between the two sprockets 7 to rotate. The third rotating shaft 9 reciprocates along the sliding groove at the bottom of the mounting rod 3 through the meshing between the sprocket 10 and the transmission chain 8, which also drives the drying device fixedly connected to the bottom of the third rotating shaft 9 to rotate. When the drying device rotates, the connecting rod 12 rotatably connected to the rotating rod 11 acts as a limit for the drying device.
[0031] The above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. Based on the technical solution of the present invention and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above-described specific embodiments.
