Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoking machine technology, and in particular to a sausage smoking machine. Background Technology
[0002] Sausages are a type of dried sausage product made from minced meat, marinated with salt, nitrates, sugar, liquor, soy sauce, and other seasonings, then stuffed into natural casings and processed through sun-drying, air-drying, or baking. Smoking is one such process. Smoking sausages requires a smoking machine, which typically includes a smoking cabinet, a smoke generator, smoke ducts, and a sausage hanging and pushing device. Currently, the method for generating smoke is generally that workers directly pour the smoking mixture into a furnace. Existing sausage hanging trolleys include horizontal bars, vertical bars, casters, slots, and hanging rods. Multiple horizontal and vertical bars form a three-dimensional frame structure. The casters are located at the bottom of the frame structure. Multiple hanging rods are fixed in the slots, each pair corresponding to two vertical bars. A thin rope is tied to the end of the sausage casing and hung on the hanging rod.
[0003] In summary, existing smoking machines have the following main drawbacks: First, it's difficult to control the amount of smoke generated when workers directly pour the smoking materials into the furnace, making it hard to control the smoking process of the sausages. Second, as... Figure 1 As shown, a large number of sausages 14 are hung on the hanging rod 23 at intervals according to their actual diameter. During the process of pushing the hanging trolley 24 into the smoking box, the sausages 14 will swing because they are suspended, causing the thin rope 25 to move on the hanging rod. This causes adjacent sausages 14 to touch each other, which can easily lead to uneven smoking of the sausages 14 that are touching each other. Therefore, after the sausage hanging trolley is pushed into the oven, the staff needs to separate the adjacent sausages 14, which increases the workload of the staff and slows down the work efficiency. After the sausages 14 are smoked, the staff also need to spend time removing the thin rope 25 between the sausages 14 and the hanging rod 23 before they can be taken away. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sausage smoking machine that provides smoke for the sausage making process, adjusts the amount of smoke generated, and uses the shape of the sausage and the shape of the triangular hanging rod to make the sausage stably placed on the frame, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:
[0006] A sausage smoking machine includes a smoking cabinet, a smoke generating device, a smoke duct, and a sausage hanging and pushing device;
[0007] The flue gas generating device includes a furnace and a smoking hopper. The smoking hopper is located above the furnace. The furnace has a feed inlet at the top and a discharge outlet at the bottom. The furnace has a smoke outlet. The smoking hopper is equipped with stirring blades, which transport the smoking material in the smoking hopper to the furnace.
[0008] The sausage hanging and pushing device includes a hanging vehicle, which includes a frame and a triangular hanging rod, the triangular hanging rod being fixedly mounted on the frame; it also includes sausages and binding wires, the sausages including several sausage sections, two adjacent sausage sections being tied together by the binding wires, and at least one binding wire position of the sausages being placed at the upper corner of the triangular hanging rod;
[0009] The smoking cabinet is equipped with a smoke inlet and a loading / unloading vehicle entrance / exit, and the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet are connected by the flue gas duct.
[0010] Preferably, the stirring blade is a spiral-shaped blade.
[0011] Preferably, the front and rear inclined surfaces of the triangular hanging rod are both concave surfaces.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the smoking cabinet is also provided with a smoke exhaust port, and the smoke exhaust port is equipped with a smoke filter.
[0013] Preferably, the top of the fumigation hopper is equipped with a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the stirring blade.
[0014] Preferably, the device also includes a timing device that shuts down the motor at regular intervals.

[0019] The present invention adopts the above technical solution and has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. By matching the shape of the sausage with the shape of the triangular hanging rod, the sausage is stably placed on the frame, improving work efficiency. The sausage sections on both sides of the tied area have more surface contact with the triangular hanging rod, thus preventing the sausage sections from shifting position during frame movement. Furthermore, after smoking, workers can easily remove the sausages directly from the triangular hanging rod without the need to spend time untying the string connecting the sausages to the hanging rod, as in the previous technology. During the smoking process, workers pre-pour the smoking material into the smoking hopper and then use stirring blades to control the amount of smoking material entering the furnace per unit time, thereby controlling the amount of smoke generated and allowing for adjustments to the smoking state of the sausages at any time.
[0021] 2. Under the action of the sausage's own weight, the sausage sections on both sides of the binding point are inserted into the concave surface of the triangular hanging rod, which helps to enhance the stability of the sausage on the triangular hanging rod.
[0022] 3. The limiting hole makes it easy to replace the triangular hanging rod, making the sausage processing process cleaner and more hygienic.
[0023] 4. On the same layer of the frame, the number of limiting holes is greater than the number of triangular hangers. By placing two triangular hangers in limiting holes at different positions, the distance between the two triangular hangers can be adjusted. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] See Figures 1 to 7 This utility model discloses a sausage smoking machine, including a smoking cabinet 1, a smoke generating device 2, a smoke duct 3, and a sausage hanging and pushing device 4;
[0035] The flue gas generating device includes a furnace 5 and a smoking hopper 6. The smoking hopper 6 is located above the furnace 5. The furnace 5 has a feed inlet 7 at the top and a discharge outlet 8 at the bottom. The furnace 5 has a smoke outlet 9. The smoking hopper 6 is equipped with stirring blades 10, which transport the smoking material in the smoking hopper 6 to the furnace 5.
[0036] The sausage hanging and pushing device 4 includes a hanging cart 11, which includes a frame 12 and a triangular hanging rod 13. The triangular hanging rod 13 is fixedly installed on the frame 12. It also includes sausages 14 and binding wires 15. The sausages 14 include several sausage sections 16. Two adjacent sausage sections 16 are tied together by the binding wires 15. At least one binding position of the sausages 14 is located at the upper corner of the triangular hanging rod 13.
[0037] The smoking cabinet 1 is provided with a smoke inlet 17 and a hanging cart entrance / exit 18, and the smoke inlet 17 and the smoke outlet 9 are connected by the flue gas pipe 3. Preferably, the stirring blade 10 is a spiral blade.
[0038] Both the front inclined surface 19 and the rear inclined surface 20 of the triangular hanging rod 13 are concave surfaces. Under the action of the sausage 14's own weight, the sausage sections 16 on both sides of the binding position are engaged in the concave surfaces of the triangular hanging rod 13, which helps to enhance the positional stability of the sausage 14 on the triangular hanging rod 13.
[0039] The top of the smoking cabinet 1 is also equipped with a smoke exhaust vent (not shown in the figure), and the smoke exhaust vent is equipped with a smoke filter (not shown in the figure). This allows the remaining smoke in the smoking cabinet 1 to be discharged without polluting the air.
[0040] A motor 21 is installed at the top of the fumigation hopper, and the output shaft of the motor 21 is connected to the rotating shaft of the stirring blade 10. The rotation speed of the stirring blade 10 is adjusted by changing the rotation speed of the motor 21.
[0041] It also includes a timer (not shown in the figure), which shuts off the motor 21 at set times. The operator can use this timer to set a smoking time. When smoking the sausage 14 begins, the operator operates the timer, which sends a start signal to the motor 21. The motor 21 rotates the stirring blade 10, and the timer starts timing. When the smoking time is reached, indicating that the sausage 14 is finished smoking, the timer sends a shut-off signal to the motor 21, and the stirring blade 10 stops rotating. This eliminates the need for manual shutdown of the motor 21, reducing the loss of smoking materials and helping to lower smoking material costs.
[0042] The inner wall of the smoking cabinet is equipped with an insulation layer (not shown in the figure). This maintains the temperature inside the smoking cabinet, saving costs during the smoking process of sausage 14.
[0043] The frame 12 has limiting holes 22 on both the left and right sides, and the left and right ends of the triangular hanging rod 13 are respectively placed in the limiting holes 22. The purpose of this design is to make it easier to replace the triangular hanging rod 13, making the processing of sausage 14 cleaner and more hygienic.
[0044] The number of limiting holes 22 is greater than the number of triangular hanging rods 13. On the same layer of the frame 12, the number of limiting holes 22 is greater than the number of triangular hanging rods 13. The two triangular hanging rods 13 are placed in limiting holes 22 at different positions, and the distance between the two triangular hanging rods 13 can be adjusted.
[0045] It also includes a timing device (not shown in the figure), which emits an alarm sound at regular intervals. Once the fumigating material has completely entered the furnace 5 from the fumigating hopper 6, the timing device sounds an alarm. Upon hearing the alarm, the operator stops the stirring blades 10 from rotating or opens the cover of the fumigating hopper 6 to check and replenish the fumigating material as needed. This can improve production efficiency.
[0046] The beneficial effects achieved by the technical solution of this utility model are as follows:
[0047] By matching the shape of the sausage with the shape of the triangular hanging rod, the sausage is placed stably on the frame, improving work efficiency. The sausage sections on both sides of the binding point have more surface contact with the triangular hanging rod, thus preventing the sausage sections from shifting position during frame movement. Furthermore, after smoking, workers can easily remove the sausages directly from the triangular hanging rod without the need to spend time untying the thin ropes connecting the sausages to the hanging rod, as in the previous technology. During the smoking process, workers pre-pour the smoking material into the smoking hopper and then use stirring blades to control the amount of smoking material entering the furnace per unit time, thereby controlling the amount of smoke generated and allowing for adjustments to the smoking state of the sausages at any time.
[0048] The working method of this utility model is as follows: 1. The worker places the sausages 14 waiting to be smoked on the triangular hanging rod 13 of the sausage hanging and pushing device 4, and then pushes the sausage hanging and pushing device 4. The sausage hanging and pushing device 4 enters the interior of the smoking cabinet 1 through the hanging cart inlet / outlet 18. The worker then closes the cabinet door of the smoking cabinet 1, sealing the hanging cart inlet / outlet 18. 2. The worker pours the smoking material into the smoking material hopper 6 in advance, and then turns on the motor 21. The motor 21 drives the stirring blades 10 to transport the smoking material to the furnace 5. The smoke generated by the combustion of the smoking material flows into the smoking cabinet 1 through the flue gas pipe 3 to smoke the sausages 14. 3. After the smoking time is completed, the worker turns off the motor 21, opens the cabinet door of the smoking cabinet 1, and finally takes out the sausage hanging and pushing device 4 from the hanging cart inlet / outlet 18 and removes the smoked sausages 14 from the triangular hanging rod 13.
[0049] While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments described are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Equivalent modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the spirit of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
