Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cured meat drying rack equipment, specifically a cured meat drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] The drying rack for cured meat is a traditional food processing tool, usually made of bamboo, wood or metal. Its structure is mostly multi-layered mesh or horizontal bar design, which makes it easy to hang meat. Its main function is to allow the cured meat to dehydrate, ferment and air dry evenly through natural ventilation and sunlight exposure, inhibiting bacterial growth while concentrating the flavor, forming the unique salty and fragrant texture and long shelf life of cured meat.

[0003] For example, a drying rack for processing cured meat disclosed in Chinese patent literature (publication number: CN213961579U) uses a nut block to drive the drying board to move vertically, a rotary motor to drive the drive sprocket to rotate, and a chain and driven sprocket to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the hook and cured meat to rotate, thus realizing the rotation of the cured meat during the drying process and improving the uniformity of drying.

[0004] However, when hanging meat on the drying rack, it still needs to be adapted to the fixed position of the drying board. Operators need to walk back and forth between the two sides of the gantry or between different heights. In particular, the three sets of staggered drying boards have space obstruction, and the cured meat in the middle needs to be leaned out to pick it up. This not only consumes physical strength, but also easily reduces the batch processing efficiency due to the inconvenience of operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a drying rack for cured meat in order to solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying rack for cured meat, comprising: a base plate, a support frame fixedly connected to the upper edge of the base plate, a hanging mechanism provided on the support frame, an oil receiving box fixedly connected to the upper center of the base plate, oil-lubricating inclined plates fixedly connected to both sides inside the oil receiving box, and multiple sets of universal brake wheels symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the hanging rod assembly includes a hanging crossbar, a threaded block, and a rotating block. The threaded block is rotatably connected to one end of the hanging crossbar, and the rotating block is fixedly connected to the outer end of the threaded block; a rubber connector and an internal threaded ring. The rubber connector is fixedly connected to one end below a set of conveyor internal toothed circulating belts, and the internal threaded ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rubber connector; a fixing block, a rotating shaft, and a hanging ring. The fixing block is fixedly connected to one end below the hanging crossbar, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixing block, and the hanging ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the number of the drying and hanging mechanisms is provided in two sets, with the other set of the drying and hanging mechanisms located in the middle of the inner side and the middle of the outer side of the support frame.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a drying rack for cured meat includes: a base plate 1, which serves as the basic support component of the entire drying rack, bearing all the upper structures and ensuring the overall stability of the rack; a support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper edge of the base plate 1; a hanging mechanism 3 is provided on the support frame 2 to ensure sufficient hanging space; two sets of hanging mechanisms 3 are provided, with the other set of hanging mechanisms 3 located at the middle of the inner side and the middle of the outer side of the support frame 2; the support frame 2 provides an installation carrier for the hanging mechanism 3; and the two sets of hanging mechanisms 3 are fixed through the inner and outer installation positions, thus constructing the overall frame shape of the drying rack.

[0023] An oil collection box 4 is fixedly connected to the upper center of the base plate 1. An oil-lubricating inclined plate 5 is fixedly connected to both sides inside the oil collection box 4. The oil collection box 4 can collect the oil dripping during the drying of cured meat. The oil-lubricating inclined plate 5 inside can guide the oil to converge in the middle of the oil collection box 4 for easy cleaning later. Multiple sets of universal brake wheels 6 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 1. The universal brake wheels 6 make it easy to move the drying rack to a suitable ventilated and sunny position. The braking function can fix the rack and prevent accidental slippage.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The drying mechanism 3 includes a drive shaft 31 and a driven shaft 32. The drive shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the head end of the support frame 2 on the upper inner side, and the driven shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the tail end of the support frame 2 on the upper inner side.

[0025] The active external gear roller 33 and the driven external gear roller 34 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the two outer ends of the active shaft 31, and the driven external gear roller 34 is fixedly connected to the two outer ends of the driven shaft 32.

[0026] The conveyor includes an internal toothed circulating belt 35, a motor compartment 36, and a hanging rod assembly 37. There are two sets of internal toothed circulating belts 35, which are respectively set on the outside of the driving external toothed roller 33 and the driven external toothed roller 34 of each set. The motor compartment 36 is fixedly connected to the upper outside of the support frame 2. The hanging rod assembly 37 is set between the two sets of internal toothed circulating belts 35 below.

[0027] The other end of the drive shaft 31 extends through the support frame 2 into the motor compartment 36. The motor compartment 36 integrates a motor and gear transmission assembly, which is connected to the other end of the drive shaft 31. Multiple sets of hanging rod assemblies 37 are symmetrically arranged below the two sets of conveying internal toothed circulating belts 35. The drive shaft 31 is driven to rotate by the motor compartment 36, and the drive shaft 31 synchronously drives the active external toothed rollers 33 at both ends to rotate. Since the conveying internal toothed circulating belts 35 are meshed and sleeved on the outside of the active external toothed rollers 33 and the driven external toothed rollers 34, the rotation of the active external toothed rollers 33 will drive the conveying internal toothed circulating belts 35 to move horizontally in a circulating manner inside the support frame 2, thereby driving the multiple sets of hanging rod assemblies 37 to move synchronously in a circulating manner. When hanging cured meat, the last set of hanging rods 37 is driven to hang the cured meat first, and then the process continues to drive the last set of hanging rods 37 to hang the cured meat in turn. This way, the operator can stand in place and does not need to walk back and forth to different hanging rod positions as with traditional fixed hanging racks, saving hanging time, improving hanging efficiency, reducing the physical exertion of the operator, and avoiding the decrease in operating efficiency caused by frequent movement. When removing the meat, the operator only needs to stand in place, first remove the cured meat from the first set of hanging rods 37, and then use the same method to remove the cured meat from the subsequent hanging rods 37 in turn. This way, there is no need to actively reach into the middle of the support frame 2, and the cured meat can be easily removed simply by waiting in the fixed operating position.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The hanging rod assembly 37 includes a hanging crossbar 371, a threaded block 372 and a rotating block 373. The threaded block 372 is rotatably connected to one end of the hanging crossbar 371, and the rotating block 373 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer side of the threaded block 372.

[0029] Rubber connector 374 and internal threaded ring 375, the rubber connector 374 is fixedly connected to one end below a set of conveying internal toothed circulating belts 35, and the internal threaded ring 375 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rubber connector 374;

[0030] The fixing block 376, the rotating shaft 377, and the hanging ring 378 are fixedly connected to one end of the lower part of the hanging crossbar 371, the rotating shaft 377 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the fixing block 376, and the hanging ring 378 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the rotating shaft 377.

[0031] Two sets of threaded blocks 372, rotating blocks 373, rubber connectors 374, and internal threaded rings 375 are provided. Another set of threaded blocks 372 is located at the other end of the hanging crossbar 371, and another set of rubber connectors 374 is located below one end of the other set of conveyor internal toothed circulating belts 35. The threaded blocks 372 are threadedly connected to the internal threaded rings 375. Multiple sets of fixing blocks 376, rotating shafts 377, and hanging rings 378 are provided. Multiple sets of fixing blocks 376 are symmetrically arranged below the hanging crossbar 371. The threaded blocks 372 at both ends of the hanging crossbar 371 are aligned... The inner threaded ring 375 below the two sets of conveyor inner tooth circulation belts 35 is rotated. The outer rotating block 373 is rotated to make the threaded block 372 screwed and fixed with the inner threaded ring 375. The rubber connector 374 can buffer the slight vibration during assembly and operation to ensure the stable connection of the hanging crossbar 371. Then, the cured meat to be dried is hung on the hanging ring 378 below the hanging crossbar 371 through the hook. The hanging ring 378 is rotatably connected to the fixing block 376 through the rotating shaft 377. The angle can be slightly adjusted according to the weight of the cured meat itself or the airflow to initially improve the uniformity of local drying.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the assembly is completed through the detachable structure of the hanging rod assembly 37. The threaded blocks 372 at both ends of the hanging crossbar 371 are aligned with the inner threaded rings 375 below the two sets of conveying internal tooth circulation belts 35. The outer rotating block 373 is rotated to screw the threaded blocks 372 and the inner threaded rings 375 into place. The rubber connector 374 can buffer the slight vibration during assembly and operation to ensure the stable connection of the hanging crossbar 371. Then, the cured meat to be dried is hung on the hanging ring 378 below the hanging crossbar 371 through the hook. The hanging ring 378 is rotatably connected to the fixing block 376 through the rotating shaft 377. The angle can be slightly adjusted according to the weight of the cured meat or the airflow to initially improve the uniformity of local drying.

[0033] The motor housing 36 drives the drive shaft 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive external gear rollers 33 at both ends to rotate. Since the internal gear conveyor belt 35 is meshed and sleeved on the outside of the drive external gear rollers 33 and the driven external gear rollers 34, the rotation of the drive external gear rollers 33 causes the internal gear conveyor belt 35 to move horizontally within the support frame 2. This, in turn, drives multiple sets of hanging rod assemblies 37 to move synchronously through the rubber connector 374 and the internal threaded ring 375. When hanging cured meat, this method drives the last set of hanging rod assemblies 37 to hang the cured meat first, and then continues to drive the remaining hanging rod assemblies 37 to hang the cured meat in sequence. This allows for standing still, unlike traditional fixed hanging racks that require... Moving back and forth to different hanging pole positions saves time for hanging meat, improves hanging efficiency, reduces the physical exertion of operators, and avoids the decrease in operational efficiency caused by frequent movement. When retrieving meat, one only needs to stand in place, first remove the cured meat from the first hanging pole assembly 37, and then use the same method to remove the cured meat from the hanging pole assemblies 37 behind in sequence. In this way, there is no need to actively reach into the middle of the support frame 2. One can easily remove the cured meat by simply waiting in the fixed operating position. The whole process does not require adjusting the standing position, avoiding difficulties in retrieving meat due to space obstruction. It also reduces the risk of bumps and collisions that may be caused by operators reaching out to retrieve meat. Especially in the scenario of retrieving meat in batches, it can significantly improve efficiency and ensure operational safety.

[0034] The oil collection box 4 in the middle of the upper part of the base plate 1 can collect the oil dripping during the drying of cured meat. The oil-lubricating inclined plate 5 inside can guide the oil to the middle of the oil collection box 4 for easy cleaning later. The universal brake wheel 6 at the bottom of the base plate 1 makes it easy to move the drying rack to a suitable ventilated and sunny position. The braking function can fix the rack and prevent accidental slippage.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
