Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a ham curing and dehydration device. Background Technology

[0002] A dehydration device is a machine or device specifically designed to remove most of the water from food. Its core purpose is to reduce the water content (water activity) of food. It works by using an electric heating element to heat the air, and a fan forces the hot air to circulate through a tray / grid on which the food is placed. The hot air takes away the moisture on the surface of the food, and at the same time, the heat is transferred to the inside of the food, causing the internal moisture to migrate to the surface and evaporate. This allows the food to achieve the purpose of extending shelf life, reducing weight, reducing volume, and concentrating flavor and nutrition. In addition, depending on the food being dehydrated, it can also create a unique taste.

[0003] Although the existing technologies mentioned above can solve the corresponding technical problems, they still have certain drawbacks: In the process of dehydrating cured ham slices, the existing dehydration devices inevitably cause the oil to be dried at the same time because the ham slices are rich in oil and other substances. The dried oil has a certain stickiness, which makes it easy for the ham slices to stick to the placement table after dehydration, making it difficult to obtain the dehydrated product and making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a ham curing and dehydration device that facilitates the production of finished products and prevents ham slices from sticking together.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a ham curing and dehydration device, comprising a hot air base and a drying chamber fixedly installed on the hot air base and connected to the top of the hot air base. The drying chamber includes a heat-insulating shell and an upper air blowing pipe fixedly installed at the bottom of the heat-insulating shell and connected to the hot air base. An exhaust pipe is provided on the top surface of the heat-insulating shell, and an anti-stick placement platform is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the heat-insulating shell.

[0006] A further improvement is that the front of the drying chamber is hinged with a sealed door.

[0007] A further improvement is that the sealed door is equipped with an observation panel.

[0008] A further improvement is that a control box is provided on one side of the hot air base, and a control panel is provided on the control box.

[0009] A further improvement is that the anti-stick placement platform includes a main body fixedly installed on the inner wall of the heat insulation shell and several through slots integrally formed on the main body. A lifting block is slidably provided in the through slot, and a power rod is movably engaged on the bottom surface of the lifting block. A power device is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the power rod and located below the main body on the inner wall of the heat insulation shell.

[0010] A further improvement is that the power unit includes a power motor fixedly installed on the inner wall of the heat insulation shell below the main body, and an elliptical rotating protrusion fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft of the power motor at the bottom. The top of the rotating protrusion is movably engaged with the bottom end of the power rod.

[0011] A further improvement is that guardrails are provided on both sides of the motherboard body.

[0012] A further improvement is that a side pipe is provided on one side of the upper air blowing pipe, extending along the inside of the heat insulation shell to one side of the inner wall of the heat insulation shell.

[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During the use of this utility model, ham slices are placed on the main board of the anti-stick placement platform, and then hot air is output to the drying chamber through the hot air base, so that the ham slices placed inside are dried by hot air to achieve the purpose of dehydration. During the dehydration process, the power motor is started simultaneously, so that it generates rotational power to drive the rotating protrusion to rotate. The top of the rotating protrusion is movably engaged with the power rod. When the top of the rotating protrusion rotates above the power motor, the power rod pushes the lifting block upward. When the top of the rotating protrusion moves below the power motor, the power rod pulls the lifting block back. This makes the lifting block rise and fall periodically, so that it periodically lifts the ham slices placed on the main board, thereby making the lower surface of the ham slices dehydrate faster. At the same time, after dehydration, the ham slices will not stick to the main board, making the collection of finished products simpler and more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] See Figure 1-3As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: a ham curing and dehydration device, including a hot air base 3 and a drying chamber 1 fixedly installed on the hot air base 3 and connected to the top of the hot air base 3. The drying chamber 1 includes a heat insulation shell 11 and an upper air blowing pipe 12 fixedly installed at the bottom of the heat insulation shell 11 and connected to the hot air base 3. An exhaust pipe 13 is provided on the top surface of the heat insulation shell 11. An anti-stick placement platform 14 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the heat insulation shell 11. The anti-stick placement platform 14 includes a main body 141 fixedly set on the inner wall of the heat insulation shell 11 and a plurality of through grooves integrally formed on the main body 141. A lifting block 142 is slidably provided in the through groove. At the same time, in order to resist thermal expansion and contraction, a 0.0° gap is formed between the through groove and the lifting block 142. With a gap of 5mm-1mm, the bottom surface of the lifting block 142 is movably engaged with the power rod 143. This engagement can be achieved through a connection similar to a cylinder piston, a method already in use. The bottom surface of the power rod 143 has a power device fixedly installed on the inner wall of the heat insulation shell 11, located below the main body 141. The power device includes a power motor 145 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the heat insulation shell 11, located below the main body 141, and an elliptical rotating protrusion 144 fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft of the power motor 145. To achieve better fixation, holes can be made in the rotating shaft of the power motor 145 and the side wall of the rotating protrusion 144, and pins can be inserted into the side wall of the rotating protrusion 144 and the rotating shaft of the power motor 145. To ensure a secure lock, the power motor 145 is embedded within the heat-insulating housing 11, with only the rotating shaft extending into the housing. It is also equipped with an additional liquid-cooled circulating cooling device, allowing for normal operation in high-temperature environments. This liquid-cooled circulating cooling device is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The top of the rotating protrusion 144 engages with the bottom of the power rod 143. During use, the entire dehydration device is fixed on the ground. Then, the marinated ham slices are placed on the non-stick placement platform 14 inside the drying chamber 1. Next, the hot air base 3 is activated to generate hot air. The hot air base 3 is existing technology and widely used in dehydration equipment, and will not be described in detail here. The hot air base 3 generates hot air and outputs it to the drying chamber 1. The upper air duct 12 directs hot air into the heat-insulating outer shell 11, which then passes through the anti-stick placement platform 14 where ham slices are placed. The hot air evaporates and removes the water adhering to the ham slices on the platform, and the hot air containing moisture is discharged through the exhaust pipe 13. This process dries and dehydrates the ham slices on the platform 14. During the drying process, the power motor 145 is simultaneously activated, generating rotational power to rotate the rotating protrusion 144. The rotating protrusion 144 is elliptical, with a power rod 143 movably engaged at its top via a bearing, and its bottom connected to the shaft of the power motor 145 via the rotating protrusion 144 fitting onto the shaft.Furthermore, as the top of the rotating protrusion 144 rotates above the power motor 145, the power rod 143 pushes the lifting block 142 upwards. As the top of the rotating protrusion 144 moves below the power motor 145, the power rod 143 pulls the lifting block 143 back. This causes the lifting block 143 to rise and fall periodically. Simultaneously, the rotation speed of the power motor 145 is kept constant at 30-50 rpm to prevent the rotating protrusion 144 from falling off. This periodically lifts the ham slices placed on the main board 141, preventing the lower surface of the ham slices from adhering to the main board 141 for extended periods. Periodically raising the lower surface of the ham slices allows for more thorough contact with the heat, resulting in faster dehydration. Additionally, during the dehydration process, the periodic upward push of the ham slices by the lifting block 142 helps to periodically separate the ham slices from the main board 141, preventing them from completely sticking to the main board 141 and making the collection of the finished product simpler and more convenient.

[0020] The front of the drying chamber 1 is hinged with a sealing door 2, which facilitates the sealing of the drying chamber 1 through the sealing door 2, thereby preventing hot air from being discharged outward from the front of the drying chamber 1, making the temperature inside the drying chamber 1 higher and the dehydration speed faster.

[0021] The sealed door 2 is equipped with an observation panel 4, which facilitates quick observation of the drying status of the ham slices.

[0022] A control box 5 is provided on one side of the hot air base 3, and a control panel 6 is provided on the control box 5, which facilitates quick control of the hot air volume and temperature output by the hot air base 3 through the control box 5 and the control panel 6.

[0023] The motherboard body 141 has guardrails 146 on both sides of the edge, which helps to prevent the ham slices from falling off the edge of the motherboard body 141.

[0024] A side pipe 15 is provided on one side of the upper air blowing pipe 12, extending along the inside of the heat insulation shell 11 to the inner wall of the heat insulation shell 11. The top of the side pipe 15 extends out from the inner wall of the heat insulation shell 11, so that hot air can be discharged from the inner wall of the heat insulation shell 11. This facilitates the introduction of some of the hot air generated by the hot air base 3 into the inner wall of the heat insulation shell 11 and blowing it out from that position, thereby allowing the ham slices to receive hot air blowing from multiple sides, accelerating the drying and dehydration speed.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this utility model, the entire dehydration device is fixedly placed on the ground. Then, the marinated ham slices are placed on the non-stick placement platform 14 inside the drying chamber 1. Next, the hot air base 3 is activated to generate hot air. The hot air base 3 is existing technology and widely used in dehydration equipment, so it will not be described in detail here. The hot air base 3 generates hot air and outputs it to the upper air blowing pipe 12 inside the drying chamber 1. The upper air blowing pipe 12 guides the hot air into the heat-insulating outer shell 11, and through the non-stick placement platform 14 where the ham slices are placed, the water adhering to the ham slices on the non-stick placement platform 14 is evaporated and carried away by the hot air. The hot air containing moisture is then discharged through the exhaust pipe 13, thereby drying and dehydrating the ham slices on the non-stick placement platform 14. During the drying process, the power is activated simultaneously. The motor 145 generates rotational power to drive the rotating protrusion 144 to rotate. The rotating protrusion 144 is elliptical, with a power rod 143 movably engaged at its top and connected to the shaft of the power motor 145 at its bottom. As the top of the rotating protrusion 144 rotates above the power motor 145, the power rod 143 pushes the lifting block 142 upward. As the top of the rotating protrusion 144 moves below the power motor 145, the power rod 143 pulls the lifting block 143 back. This causes the lifting block 143 to rise and fall periodically, periodically lifting the ham slices placed on the main board 141. This prevents the lower surface of the ham slices from sticking to the main board 141 for extended periods, resulting in faster dehydration. After dehydration, the ham slices also do not adhere to the main board 141, making the collection of the finished product simpler and more convenient.
