Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing raw ham.

[Prior art and its problems]

There are two methods for producing ham: the onkun method, in which the meat is exposed to high-temperature smoke at about 30 to 50 degrees Celsius for a short period of time, and then boiled as this alone does not provide enough preservative power; There are the cooling method and the cooling method at 0 to 30°C.

Raw ham uses the last of these chilling methods, and has a temperature of 0-
Salted meat is exposed to low-temperature smoke of 5°C or less for over 100 hours, which alone provides sufficient preservative power.

By the way, in our country, until last year, laws and regulations did not allow the sale of unheated meat as a commercial product, so raw ham was considered a fresh food item (μm). Therefore, there was no established equipment for producing raw ham.

[Purpose of the invention]

In view of the above circumstances, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an apparatus that enables even an amateur to easily and reliably produce high-quality products in the production of raw ham, which requires long and troublesome management, and which is of great use in popularizing the mass production of raw ham in Japan. Our goal is to provide the following.

[Key points of the invention]

However, for this purpose, according to the present invention, the housing includes a lantern chamber having a door for entering and exiting the meat, and a combustion chamber for generating smoke, and a smoke cooler is provided in the communication path between these chambers. This is achieved by installing a chimney with a built-in means for generating upward airflow in the lantern room.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of the raw ham manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional side view of the same. It is designed to be transportable and easy to install anywhere. The housing 1 has a combustion chamber 2 for generating smoke and a lamp chamber 3 for guiding the smoke from the combustion chamber 2.

First, to explain the combustion chamber 2, in this embodiment, it is located at the lower part of the housing 1, and the inside is surrounded by a metal plate 4 such as an iron plate, and an air supply port 5 is provided at the lower part, and a drain 6 is provided at the bottom. were formed respectively.

A furnace 7 formed in a drawer is housed in this combustion chamber 2 so that it can be taken out to the outside, and a furnace 7'' to be used next time is housed slightly above it in a form of a drawer like the furnace 7.

As shown in Fig. 6, these furnaces 7 and 71 are constructed in a spiral type by attaching a floor plate 10 and a partition plate 11 made of metal mesh to a metal frame body 9 with a handle 8 on the front side. A combustion path 12 is formed, and a combustion bed 14 is formed by covering the sides and bottom of the combustion path 12 with a breathable heat insulating material 13 such as glass wool.

On the other hand, the combustion chamber 3 is located above the combustion chamber 2, and the communication passage 15 between the two has a narrow portion 15a at the front stage, and a cooler 16' is disposed in the widening portion from this. Kono-kun light room 3
A sealed door 17 for entering and exiting meat is provided at the front opening, and a control panel or the like is used for the exterior, but the inside including this door 17 is covered with a heat insulating material 18 such as styrofoam. A cooling panel 16 is installed on the inner surface of the rear wall inside the lamp room 3, with air flow paths provided between the upper and lower sides and the rear wall.
An appropriate number of crosspieces 21 provided with hooks 20 for hanging the objects were arranged in parallel. 22 in the figure is an acrylic window installed in the door 17,
23 is an opening/closing handle, 24 is a hinge, and 25 is a talent type lock.

Furthermore, a chimney 27 whose outside is covered with a heat insulating material 26 such as glass wool is erected on the roof of the lantern room 3, and an upward air flow generating means using a light bulb is built into the lower end of the chimney 27. , a light-shielding plate 29 is disposed directly below the light-shielding plate 29 by attaching it to the upper surface of the lamp 21, for example, to prevent heat from entering the lamp room 3.

The cooling panel 16 is for removing the heat load caused by the outside air in the lantern room, and as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a copper tube 16b is spirally or meandered around a metal plate 16a and is brazed to the metal plate 16a. This copper tube 16b is connected to the cooler 16.
' is connected in series with the refrigerant pipe.

On the other hand, the fifth cooler 16' is for cooling the smoke.
As shown in the figure, a fin-and-tube type refrigerant placed on a fin receiver 30 was used, and water, fluorocarbon gas, or the like was used as the refrigerant. FIG. 4 is a front view of a water-cooled type cooling operation section provided, for example, on the side of the housing 1. One end is connected to the cooling panel 16 and a cooler 16' in series therewith, and the other end is connected to a separate freezer compartment A of the refrigerator. A circulation pump 32 and a thermometer 33 are installed in the middle of a refrigerant pipe 31 that extends to and is cooled here, and an air vent 35 made by bending a vinyl hose and a makeup water tank 36 are also installed via a cock 34. In addition,
It is desirable to mix alcohol, glycerin, etc. into the cooling water to prevent it from freezing. In the figure, 37 is a waterproof switch outlet, one of which is connected to the circulation pump 32 and the other to the light bulb of the upward airflow generating means 28.

In addition, the cooling mechanism uses water as a refrigerant, and in addition to cooling separately in a refrigerator, the mechanisms inside the housing such as the cooling panel 16 and cooler 16' can be directly connected to tap water, well water, etc. It is also possible to pass a refrigerant gas. These cooling methods are selected depending on the installation location and temperature conditions during the period of use.

Next, to explain the usage and effect, Masu, Meat 1
Step 9 is to suspend the salted and cooled material in the lantern chamber 3, close the door 17 to make it airtight, and then ignite the sawdust (sakura, maple, hiscoli, etc. are suitable) packed in the furnace 7. It burns and produces smoke. This smoke is indirectly cooled a little by the outside air in the narrow part 15a of the communication passage 15, and then spreads out and uniformly passes between the fins of the cooler 16', becoming a cold airflow of 0 to 5°C. Enter Kunto room 3 and come into contact with meat 19. The influence of the outside temperature on the lamp room 3 is removed by the airflow that is cooled on the front and back surfaces of the cooling panel 16 and circulates downward. The smoke filling the lamp room 3 is discharged from the chimney 27, and this air flow can be caused by the heat generated by the upward airflow generating means 28. Note that the heat of the rising air current generating means 28 is blocked by the heat shield plate 29 and does not enter the air lamp chamber 3, but some light does enter the air lamp chamber 3, so that the heat of the rising air flow generating means 2 is blocked by the heat shield plate 29.
8 is also useful as a light for the lantern room 3.

On the other hand, cold water as a refrigerant is sequentially fed into the cooler 16' by a pump 32, and the dew condensation generated here drips from the narrow part 15a of the communication passage 15 and is guided to the bottom of the combustion chamber 2, where it is placed on the bottom plate. It flows along the slope and is discharged by the drain 6.

Also, once all the sawdust in the furnace 7 has been burned (in this example, it takes about 12 hours for one draw furnace), pull it out and replace it with the furnace 7.
" is located above the furnace 7 and is heated and dried by the residual heat generated by the furnace 7, so it can be ignited with good ignition.

In this way, the meat processor 9 is exposed to smoke for a predetermined period of time, and raw ham is obtained.

Incidentally, the apparatus of the present invention can be used not only for producing raw ham as described above, but also for smoking other foods such as salmon.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the raw ham manufacturing apparatus of the present invention is a compact device that can be transported easily and can be installed anywhere, and is also convenient in that even an amateur can easily and reliably produce high-quality raw ham without much effort. It is.
