Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bovine bone processing technology, and in particular to a drain container and a drain rack device for bovine bones after cleaning. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing of beef bones, the draining process after washing is a crucial step in ensuring their hygiene and subsequent processing performance. However, existing beef bone draining methods mostly use open trays or simple mesh baskets. These draining devices lack effective isolation from external contaminants, resulting in the aforementioned problems in both indoor and outdoor environments. For example, flying insects, debris, and worker hair can easily come into contact with the surface of the beef bones during the draining process, leading to secondary contamination. This contamination increases the cost of subsequent secondary cleaning processes and reduces production efficiency.

[0003] On the other hand, during the draining process, water from open trays or simple mesh baskets drips naturally without a directional collection and discharge path, making it easy for the water to drip onto the ground and affect the surrounding environment. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. To this end, this utility model proposes a drain container and a drain rack device for washed cow bones.

[0005] The technical solution to the technical problem solved by this utility model is as follows: This utility model proposes a drain container, including a limiting ring, with a support ring fixedly connected to the inner ring of the limiting ring; a top support ring, spaced above the limiting ring, and connected to the limiting ring and the top support ring with a dustproof mesh cover, and a hook detachably connected to the top of the top support ring; a bottom ring, spaced below the limiting ring, and connected to the limiting ring and the bottom ring with a water-blocking and guiding membrane, and a drain pipe detachably connected inside the bottom ring; and a drain tray, with several sets of drain holes inside, which is adapted to be embedded above the support ring in the limiting ring.

[0006] Preferably, several sets of positioning rods are detachably connected to the drainage hole.

[0007] Preferably, the drain hole has an inverted conical structure, and the bottom of the positioning rod is connected to a magnetic block with an inverted conical structure. The magnetic block can be inserted into the drain hole and magnetically connected to the drain tray.

[0008] Preferably, the outer diameter and inner diameter of the bottom ring are both smaller than the outer diameter and inner diameter of the limiting ring, so that the water-blocking and guiding membrane forms a downward-convex structure.

[0009] Preferably, the top support ring is internally threaded with a top cover, and the hook is connected above the top cover.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting ring is connected to the top support ring and the bottom ring by several sets of skeletons, and the dustproof net cover and the water interception and diversion membrane are respectively covered by the corresponding skeletons.

[0011] This utility model also proposes a drain rack device for cleaning cattle bones, including two sets of horizontally spaced vertical bars, with supports connected to the front and rear sides of the vertical bars respectively; several sets of horizontal bars connected between the two vertical bars and arranged in a vertical array, with several sets of horizontally distributed hanging rings fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal bars; and several sets of any of the above-mentioned drain containers, which are hung between the two horizontal bars by means of the hanging rings and the hooks.

[0012] Preferably, the crossbar has a horizontally oriented water passage hole, and the top surface of the crossbar has several sets of stepped insertion holes in a horizontal direction. The insertion holes are connected to the water passage hole, and the drain end of the water passage hole is connected to a drain connector. The drain end of the drain pipe is adapted to be inserted into the insertion hole.

[0013] Preferably, the drain end of the drain pipe is connected to a magnetic ring, and the magnetic ring is magnetically connected to the inside of the socket.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the support frame is connected to several sets of casters, which are arranged in a rectangular pattern.

[0015] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, a limiting ring is used as the central hub, and a dustproof net is connected above to form an open structure in the upper half, which allows air to pass freely through the mesh, accelerating the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the cow bone, while also preventing external debris from entering its interior; a water-blocking and guiding membrane is connected below to form a closed structure in the lower half, which allows water droplets on the cow bone to drip into the water-blocking and guiding membrane through the drainage holes, and then be guided by the water-blocking and guiding membrane to be discharged in a directional manner, preventing water droplets from dripping directly to the bottom.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, several sets of positioning rods are detachably connected to the drain tray. With the cooperation of the positioning rods and the drain holes, the cattle bones can be clamped and constrained in multiple directions, forming a vertical drainage path and flowing downwards, which greatly prevents the accumulation of water in the cattle bones during the draining process.

[0017] 3. The drain rack device proposed in this utility model has several sets of drain containers inside and adopts a centralized drainage design, which can solve the problem of scattered drainage of several drain containers, reduce material waste and space occupation, and greatly improve drainage efficiency.

[0027] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the direction or positional relationship are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. 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 according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a drain container a, which includes a limiting ring 1. A support ring 2 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the limiting ring 1, and the top surface of the support ring 2 is lower than the top surface of the limiting ring 1. A top support ring 3 is provided at intervals above the limiting ring 1. A dustproof net cover 4 is connected between the limiting ring 1 and the top support ring 3. In some embodiments, the connection between the limiting ring 1 and the top support ring 3 can be achieved by means of the dustproof net cover 4, so as to isolate external pollutants such as flying insects and hair.

[0031] A hook 5 is detachably connected above the top support ring 3 for hanging the drain container a. It also includes a bottom ring 6, which is spaced below the limiting ring 1. A water-blocking and guiding membrane 7 is connected between the limiting ring 1 and the bottom ring 6 to intercept water droplets and direct them along a predetermined drainage path. A drain pipe 8 is detachably connected inside the bottom ring 6 to drain water droplets falling during the draining process, thus preventing any impact on the surrounding environment.

[0032] The drain container a also includes a drain tray 9, which serves as a support for the cow bones. The drain tray 9 has several sets of drain holes 10 inside, allowing water droplets dripping from the cow bones to be discharged. After installation, the drain tray 9 fits snugly into the limiting ring 1 and is positioned above the supporting ring 2. The supporting ring 2 and the limiting ring 1 provide support, thus limiting the position of the drain tray 9.

[0033] refer to Figure 3 In this design, the limiting ring 1 is used as the central hub, the top support ring 3 is set and connected to the dustproof net cover 4, and the bottom ring 6 is set below and connected to the water interception and diversion membrane 7, forming an open upper structure with the drain pan 9 as the center and a closed lower structure.

[0034] The open structure in the upper part allows air to pass freely through the mesh, accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the surface of the cow bone. At the same time, it prevents external debris from entering the interior, ensuring smooth air convection. Especially in humid environments, it can significantly shorten the drying time.

[0035] The closed structure in the lower part allows water droplets on the cow bone to drip through the drainage holes 10 into the water-blocking and guiding membrane 7. The water-blocking and guiding membrane 7 then guides the water droplets to flow into the drain pipe 8, and then discharges them in a directional manner through the drain pipe 8. This forms a closed path of drainage-guidance-drainage, which can prevent water droplets from dripping directly below, thus avoiding problems such as damp ground, bacterial growth, or contamination of surrounding items.

[0036] In some embodiments, a plurality of positioning rods 11 are detachably connected to the drain hole 10. This design, by means of the positioning rods 11 working in conjunction with the drain hole 10, can constrain special bones and adjust their shape during the draining process.

[0037] For example, beef bones with a concave shell, such as shank bones, are prone to water accumulation in the concave area. If placed horizontally, some water cannot drain out due to gravity; if placed vertically with the concave shell facing downwards, stability is compromised. In this case, the positioning rod 11 and the drainage holes 10 in the draining tray 9 work together to create a multi-directional circumferential clamping constraint on the beef bone, forcing it from a horizontal to a vertical position. This allows the concave shell to form a vertical drainage path, allowing water to flow downwards, greatly preventing water accumulation during the draining process.

[0038] refer to Figure 4 Furthermore, the bottom of the positioning rod 11 is connected to a magnetic block 12 with an inverted conical structure. The magnetic block 12 can be inserted into the drain hole 10 and magnetically connected to the drain tray 9. The drain tray 9 can be made of a magnetically attractive metal material, or a magnetic sheet can be attached to the inner ring of the drain hole 10 to achieve the magnetic connection between the positioning rod 11 and the drain tray 9. The guiding structure of the inverted conical magnetic block 12 can automatically align with the drain hole 10 without manual angle adjustment. The instantaneous attraction of the magnetic force allows the positioning rod 11 to be quickly inserted and locked. On the other hand, by utilizing the extended magnetic function, the magnetic force of the positioning rod 11 can remove the drain tray 9 from the drain container a, and then the positioning rod 11 can be separated from the drain tray 9 to remove the cow bone.

[0039] In some embodiments, the outer diameter and inner diameter of the bottom ring 6 are both smaller than the outer diameter and inner diameter of the limiting ring 1, causing the water-blocking and guiding membrane 7 to form a downward-converging structure. This design allows water droplets dripping from the drain pan 9 to automatically converge towards the bottom center along the inclined membrane wall, rather than flowing randomly on the membrane surface, avoiding dead zones caused by a flat membrane surface. At the same time, the converged water flow can be quickly concentrated in the drain pipe 8 at the bottom ring 6, reducing the residence time of water droplets on the membrane wall. Especially for intermittent dripping that may accompany the drainage of cow bones, the convergence structure can efficiently collect and discharge the water, preventing water accumulation and mold growth inside the membrane.

[0040] refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the top support ring 3 is internally threaded with a top cover 13, which is mainly of a lightweight structure. The middle part of the top cover 13 can be formed by a skeleton 14 and a waterproof membrane, which can reduce the overall weight. The aforementioned hook 5 is connected above the top cover 13. With the help of the hook 5, the drain container a can be more conveniently suspended to a designated position for draining.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, several sets of skeletons 14 are connected between the aforementioned limiting ring 1, the top support ring 3, and the bottom ring 6. The aforementioned dustproof mesh cover 4 and water-blocking and guiding membrane 7 respectively cover the corresponding skeletons 14. The connection of the skeletons 14 forms a three-dimensional rigid frame inside the drain container a, solving the problems such as possible soft collapse and deformation that may occur when relying solely on the connection between the dustproof mesh cover 4 and the water-blocking and guiding membrane 7. Furthermore, this design has a structural advantage.

[0042] refer to Figures 5 to 7 This utility model also proposes a draining rack device for cleaned cow bones, which includes two sets of horizontally spaced vertical rods 15. Support frames 16 are connected to the front and rear sides of the vertical rods 15 respectively, forming the load-bearing columns of the device, significantly improving the overall structural stability. Preferably, several sets of casters 23 are connected to the bottom of the rack, and the casters 23 are preferably lockable and adjustable. The casters 23 are rectangularly distributed along the bottom of the support frames 16, which facilitates the movement and position adjustment of the entire device, further improving the stability during movement. Furthermore, locking the casters 23 can fix the device's position, preventing displacement during draining operations.

[0043] It also includes several sets of horizontal bars 17, which are connected between two vertical bars 15 and are arranged in a vertical array. Several sets of horizontally distributed hanging rings 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal bars 17. The aforementioned drain container a is hung between the two horizontal bars 17 by means of the hanging rings 18 and hooks 5.

[0044] Each cow bone has a certain weight, and when hung in batches, the total weight is considerable. The overall frame structure of the vertical rods 15, supports 16, and horizontal rods 17 can distribute the weight, preventing localized deformation to some extent, and stably supporting multiple sets of drain containers a, allowing multiple cow bones to be drained at once. Furthermore, the vertically distributed multiple sets of horizontal rods 17 enable three-dimensional hanging, with multiple sets of drain containers a hanging on each layer. Compared to a single-layer flat drain rack, this effectively improves space utilization, reducing the amount of floor space occupied while completing the draining of a large number of cow bones.

[0045] refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, a horizontal water passage hole 19 is provided in the crossbar 17, and a number of stepped insertion holes 20 are provided horizontally on the top surface of the crossbar 17. The insertion holes 20 are connected to the water passage hole 19. A drain connector 21 is connected to the drain end of the water passage hole 19. The drain connector 21 is connected to an external water pipe. The drain end of the drain pipe 8 can be inserted into the insertion hole 20 to transport the water in the drain pipe 8 to the water passage hole 19 through the insertion hole 20 and discharge it from the drain connector 21.

[0046] In some implementations, although water can be transported to a designated area through the flexible drain pipe 8 of each set of drain containers a, there is still room for optimization. For example, the above design requires the customization of a drain pipe 8 of a certain length according to the distance between the drain rack and the drain point, which increases material costs. On the other hand, the disorderly hanging of several drain pipes 8 poses multiple safety hazards, damages the cleanliness of the operating area, and the messy stacking of pipes may affect other operations. Moreover, when the drain rack needs to be moved, the drain pipes 8 must be arranged one by one to avoid dragging or bumping the pipes, which greatly increases the complexity of the moving operation.

[0047] Based on this, a centralized drainage design is adopted to solve the problems of decentralized drainage. The drain pipe 8 of the drain container a is inserted into the stepped hole, and the water is centrally discharged into the external water pipe through the water passage 19 and drain connector 21, effectively preventing water from dripping onto the ground. Furthermore, there is no need to design an excessively long drain pipe 8, which effectively reduces material waste and space occupation, significantly improving drainage efficiency.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the drain end of the drain pipe 8 is connected to a magnetic ring 22, which is magnetically connected to the inside of the socket 20. Specifically, firstly, the hook 5 in the drain container a is hung in the corresponding hanging ring 18 above, and then the bottom of the flexible drain pipe 8 is inserted into the socket 20. The magnetic ring 22 is used to achieve a magnetic connection with the inside of the socket 20, thus positioning the bottom of the drain pipe 8.

[0049] In outdoor drying scenarios, the hanging drain container a is prone to significant swaying due to external wind, thus affecting its overall stability. In this design, the drain pipe 8 of appropriate length, combined with the magnetic connection between the bottom magnetic ring 22 and the insertion hole 20, and the hanging position of the hook 5 above, forms a two-way constraint structure, ensuring that the drain container a always maintains a vertical posture. This effectively reduces the risk of significant swaying caused by wind and ensures the stability of the drying process.

[0050] Although the specific embodiments of the utility model have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Based on the technical solution of the utility model, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort are still within the scope of protection of the utility model.
