Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of meat floss processing equipment, specifically a vacuum cooling device for meat floss processing. Background Technology

[0002] As a popular dried meat product, the cooling process during meat floss processing is crucial to the quality of the final product. Freshly roasted meat floss has a high temperature (usually 80-100℃) and high humidity. If it is not cooled evenly and promptly, it is very easy for it to absorb moisture, clump, and darken in color. At the same time, the slow cooling process of high-temperature meat floss provides conditions for the growth of microorganisms, posing a food safety hazard and causing the loss of flavor substances through volatilization.

[0003] Currently, small and medium-sized meat floss production enterprises generally adopt the traditional method of natural air-drying cooling. Natural air-drying cooling requires spreading the meat floss over a large area in a clean area and relying on natural air convection for cooling. This method has extremely low cooling efficiency, is time-consuming, occupies a huge area, and the meat floss is exposed to the environment for a long time, making it susceptible to secondary pollution. Therefore, a vacuum cooling device for meat floss processing is proposed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a vacuum cooling device for meat floss processing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This vacuum cooling device for meat floss processing achieves uniform and efficient cooling of meat floss in a vacuum environment by setting up a dynamic cooling component consisting of a drive motor, a turning rod, a meat floss cooling frame, and a frame cover. When cooling is required, the meat floss is placed in the meat floss cooling frame and the frame cover is locked. The drive motor is started to drive the turning rod to rotate slowly and continuously turn the meat floss. At the same time, the vacuum pump works to draw a vacuum, causing the internal moisture of the meat floss to rapidly vaporize and absorb heat under low pressure. This design completely solves the problems of low efficiency, easy clumping, and easy contamination of traditional natural air-drying cooling, greatly improving product quality and production efficiency, and enhancing the practicality of the device.

When the vaporized steam enters the steam treatment box through the first connecting pipe, it quickly condenses into water upon contact with the surfaces of multiple sets of low-temperature condensers and is collected and discharged. The remaining non-condensable gases are then drawn away by the vacuum pump through the second connecting pipe. This design completely avoids the drawbacks of high-temperature and high-humidity steam directly entering the vacuum pump, which would cause it to be overloaded, emulsify oil, and have a shortened lifespan. It greatly enhances the reliability and stability of the equipment operation, reduces maintenance costs, and further improves the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

A drive motor 34 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the motor fixing frame 33. A flipping rod 35 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 34, extending into the inside of the meat floss cooling frame 32 and rotatably connected to the right side of its inner wall. A frame cover 36 is snapped onto the top of the meat floss cooling frame 32. A number of mesh holes are opened on the top of the frame cover 36. An inspection box door is provided on the rear side wall of the motor fixing frame 33. Locking seats 37 are fixedly connected to both the left and right side walls of the frame cover 36. Locking buckles 38 are fixedly connected to both the left and right side walls of the meat floss cooling frame 32, respectively snapping onto the outside of the two locking seats 37.

[0022] A steam treatment box 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum box 1. A first connecting pipe 5, extending into the interior of the vacuum box 1, is connected to the right side of the inner wall of the steam treatment box 4. A vacuum pump 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the steam treatment box 4. A second connecting pipe 7, with one end connected to the left side of the inner wall of the steam treatment box 4, is fixedly connected to the inlet end of the vacuum pump 6. A condensing assembly 8, extending into the interior of the steam treatment box 4, is snapped onto the top of the steam treatment box 4. The condensing assembly 8 includes a sealing connecting plate 81. A condenser 82, which fits tightly against the inner wall of the steam treatment box 4, is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing connecting plate 81. The steam treatment box 4 and the sealing connecting plate 81 are connected by a number of positioning bolts. A drain pipe, extending to the left side of the inner wall of the steam treatment box 4, is connected to the left side. A valve is fixedly connected to the outside of the drain pipe. There are three condensers 82, which are evenly distributed on the left and right sides.

[0023] It is worth noting that both the drive motor 34 and the vacuum pump 6 mentioned in this application are externally connected to a drive power supply and a control switch. Furthermore, both the drive motor 34 and the vacuum pump 6 are conventional and known devices. The standard parts used in this application can all be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part are all connected using conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding, which are mature in the prior art. Moreover, the machinery, parts, and equipment all use conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection uses conventional connection methods in the prior art. The contents not described in detail in the description belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] When the condenser 82 is working, the refrigerant is supplied by an external refrigeration system (not shown in the figure) to keep the metal heat exchange surface of the condenser 82 at an extremely low temperature (usually -20°C to -40°C). When the vacuum pump 6 runs, a negative pressure is formed in the vacuum chamber 1, causing a large amount of high-temperature water vapor generated by the vaporization of moisture in the meat floss. Under the action of pressure difference, the vapor is drawn into the steam treatment chamber 4 through the first connecting pipe 5. The vapor then comes into contact with the low-temperature surface of the condenser 82, and its heat is quickly carried away, causing the temperature to drop sharply below the dew point. As a result, the vapor changes from a gaseous phase to liquid water (condensation) or directly turns into frost (sublimation) and adheres to the condenser surface. The collected condensate is finally discharged through the drain pipe, while the uncondensed gas is drawn away by the vacuum pump 6 through the second connecting pipe 7. This achieves effective separation of steam and non-condensable gas and protects the vacuum pump from water vapor damage.

[0025] In summary, this vacuum cooling device for meat floss processing achieves uniform and efficient cooling of meat floss in a vacuum environment by setting up a dynamic cooling assembly consisting of a drive motor 34, a turning rod 35, a meat floss cooling frame 32, and a frame cover 36. When cooling is required, the meat floss is placed in the meat floss cooling frame 32 and the frame cover 36 is locked. The drive motor 34 is started to drive the turning rod 35 to rotate slowly, continuously turning the meat floss. At the same time, the vacuum pump 6 works to draw a vacuum, causing the internal moisture of the meat floss to rapidly vaporize and absorb heat under low pressure. This design completely solves the problems of low efficiency, easy clumping, and easy contamination of traditional natural air-drying cooling, greatly improving product quality and production efficiency, and enhancing the practicality of the device. By setting up a steam treatment structure consisting of a steam treatment box 4, a condenser 82, a first connecting pipe 5, and a second connecting pipe 7, high efficiency of steam treatment is achieved for the evaporated water vapor. The system features efficient condensation recovery and protection. When the vaporized steam enters the steam treatment box 4 through the first connecting pipe 5, it quickly condenses into water upon contact with the surfaces of multiple sets of low-temperature condensers 82 and is collected and discharged. The remaining non-condensable gases are then drawn away by the vacuum pump 6 through the second connecting pipe 7. This design completely avoids the drawbacks of high-temperature and high-humidity steam directly entering the vacuum pump 6, which would lead to excessive load, oil emulsification, and shortened lifespan. This greatly enhances the reliability and stability of the equipment operation, reduces maintenance costs, and further improves the practicality of the device. It also solves the problem that currently, small and medium-sized meat floss production enterprises generally use the traditional method of natural spreading and cooling. Natural spreading and cooling requires spreading the meat floss over a large area in a clean area and relying on natural air convection for cooling. This method has extremely low cooling efficiency, is time-consuming, occupies a huge area, and the meat floss is exposed to the environment for a long time, making it susceptible to secondary pollution.
