Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, specifically to a smoke-infusing and flavor-infusing device. Background Technology

[0002] Smoking is a key process in food processing that imparts flavor and extends shelf life. Its core lies in the uniform penetration and stable adhesion of smoke components (phenols, aldehydes, etc.). When smoking meat, it is usually carried out in a corresponding smoking device. There are many types of smoking devices on the market. Most smoking devices are connected to an external biomass burner through a flue gas inlet pipe at the bottom, so as to transport the flue gas into the smoking device and achieve the effect of smoking and flavor penetration.

[0003] However, such smoking devices still have some shortcomings in practical use. During the smoking process, the smoke contains tar and dust, and most smoking devices lack components to filter these substances. This causes tar and dust to easily adhere to the food surface, affecting not only the taste but also posing health risks. Therefore, we propose a smoking and flavor-penetrating device.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a smoke-penetrating and flavor-infusing device, including a smoke chamber 1, a main air duct 2 fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the smoke chamber 1, a plurality of vertically arranged branch air ducts 20 fixedly installed on the top surface of the main air duct 2, a smoke inlet pipe 3 provided at the bottom of the outer side wall of the smoke chamber 1, a filter box 30 provided at the smoke outlet end of the smoke inlet pipe 3, the smoke outlet end of the smoke inlet pipe 3 connected to the bottom side of the filter box 30, and a detachable filter box 30 on the inner wall of the filter box 30. The filter box 30 is equipped with a detachable filter cotton 341. A detachable sealing top cover 36 is installed on the top of the filter box 30. A smoke outlet pipe 35 is fixedly installed on the other side of the top of the filter box 30, located above the filter cotton 341. The output end of the smoke outlet pipe 35 is fixedly installed on the main air duct 2 and connected to the interior of the main air duct 2. A drain pipe 31 is fixedly installed on the bottom of one side of the filter box 30, located below the flue gas inlet pipe 3. A threaded cap 32 is threaded onto the drain pipe 31. In use, flue gas enters the filter box 30 through the flue gas inlet pipe 3, is filtered by the filter cotton 341, and then enters the main air duct 2 through the smoke outlet pipe 35. It is then sent into the fumigation chamber 1 through the branch air duct 20. Simultaneously, the drain pipe 31 and the threaded cap 32 facilitate cleaning impurities inside the filter box 30, and the sealing top cover 36 facilitates maintenance of the filter cotton 341. This achieves flue gas filtration, purification, and uniform delivery, ensuring a clean fumigation environment.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the main air duct 2 has a U-shaped cross-section. The U-shaped main air duct 2 can prevent the oil dripping down during the smoking process from dripping onto the main air duct 2. The inner side of the branch air duct 20 is provided with multiple inclined air outlets 21 arranged at equal intervals. The multiple inclined air outlets 21 enable the flue gas entering the main air duct 2 to be evenly distributed to each branch air duct 20 and evenly sprayed out through the inclined air outlets 21, ensuring that the smoke can evenly cover the food surface in the smoking chamber 1 and improve the consistency of the smoking process.

[0022] In this embodiment, the distance between two adjacent inclined air outlets 21 is between 3cm and 8cm. The inclined air outlets 21 are set at a downward inclination of 30 degrees to 60 degrees, so that the smoke can form a coverage at different heights. The inclination angle is conducive to the diffusion of smoke towards the food, avoiding local smoke accumulation or uneven distribution, and further ensuring the uniformity of food smoking.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom side of the drain pipe 31 is flush with the inner bottom wall of the filter box 30. The sealing top cover 36 is detachably connected to the filter box 30 by multiple fastening screws, so that the impurities deposited in the filter box 30 can be completely discharged from the drain pipe 31. At the same time, it is convenient to open the sealing top cover 36 to thoroughly clean the inside of the filter box 30, thus improving the convenience of equipment maintenance.

[0024] like Figure 2As shown, a ring-shaped support ring 33 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the filter box 30, and a fixing ring 34 is fixedly installed on the outer annular side of the filter cotton 341. The fixing ring 34 is detachably installed on the top surface of the support ring 33, making the disassembly and replacement of the filter cotton 341 simple and convenient, and facilitating timely replacement of the filter material to ensure the filtration effect.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the front of the smoking chamber 1 is connected to the outside. Both the left and right sides of the front of the smoking chamber 1 are hinged with sealing doors 10. Sealing gaskets and door locks are provided on the sealing doors 10, allowing staff to easily take and put away food to be smoked. At the same time, closing and locking the sealing doors 10 can ensure the airtightness of the smoking chamber 1 and prevent smoke leakage from affecting the smoking effect and working environment.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a bottom oil collection box 11 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the smoking chamber 1. The bottom oil collection box 11 is slidably connected to the smoking chamber 1, so that the oil dripping from the food during the smoking process can be effectively collected, avoiding the oil from dripping directly onto the bottom of the chamber and being difficult to clean. At the same time, the sliding design makes it easy to remove the collection box for cleaning, keeping the inside of the chamber clean.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple support legs 12 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the smoking chamber 1, and multiple layered racks 13 are fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the smoking chamber 1. The support legs 12 keep the bottom of the chamber away from the ground, which has the effect of moisture protection. The layered racks 13 can hang different foods in layers, which improves the utilization rate of the chamber space and facilitates the food to be heated evenly and come into contact with smoke.

[0028] It is worth noting that a pressure balancing pipe 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the fumigation chamber 1, and a pressure balancing valve 141 is fixedly installed on the pressure balancing pipe 14. A flue gas exhaust pipe 15 is also fixedly installed on the top of the fumigation chamber 1. The pressure balancing valve 141 can adjust the pressure balance inside and outside the chamber to avoid excessive pressure inside the chamber affecting equipment safety. The flue gas exhaust pipe 15 can orderly discharge excess smoke to ensure the safe and stable operation of the fumigation process. The end of the flue gas exhaust pipe 15 can be connected to external waste gas treatment equipment to enable reasonable treatment of the discharged waste gas.

[0029] When using the smoking and flavoring device of this utility model, the food to be smoked is suspended in layers on the layered rack 13 on the top wall of the smoking chamber 1. After removing the bottom oil collection box 11 and confirming that it is clean, it is reset and installed. Open the sealing top cover 36 of the filter box 30 and check whether the filter cotton 341 connected to the fixing ring 34 on the support ring 33 is intact. If it needs to be replaced, directly remove the fixing ring 34 and replace the new filter cotton 341. Then, tighten the sealing top cover 36 and tighten the fastening screws, and close the sealing door 10. Then, the flue gas inlet pipe 3 is connected to the smoke source, and the flue gas enters the filter box 30 through it. After the impurities are filtered by the filter cotton 341, it flows into the main air duct 2 from the smoke outlet pipe 35. The U-shaped main air duct 2 avoids oil dripping. The flue gas is evenly sprayed out through the inclined air outlet 21 on the branch air duct 20 to cover the food surface. During the process, the air pressure in the chamber is regulated by the pressure balance valve 141 on the pressure balance pipe 14. Excess flue gas is connected to the external waste gas treatment equipment through the flue gas exhaust pipe 15. The oil dripping from the food is collected by the bottom oil collection box 11. After the smoking process is complete and the smoke inside the chamber has been cleared, open the sealed door 10 to remove the food; pull out the bottom oil collection box 11 to clean the oil.
