Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mustard tuber production equipment, and in particular to a mustard tuber dehydration device. Background Art

[0002] Zhacai is a pickled food with a unique flavor and taste. The production process of Zhacai includes the following steps: classifying the cabbage heads, cutting into pieces, stringing the vegetables, putting them on shelves, drying them, removing them from shelves, peeling the old skin, turning them over and pickling them again, pruning them, washing them with salt water, pressing them, mixing them, packing them into jars, tying them, inspecting them before storage and sealing them for shipment. Pressing is one of the key steps, as it can squeeze out the moisture in the vegetables, making the Zhacai slightly dry and more tender.

[0003] As shown in the prior art CN220123917U, a device for squeezing and dehydrating pickled mustard tubers comprises a dehydration box, a feed hopper is installed on the upper side wall of the dehydration box, a plurality of water holes are opened on the side wall of the dehydration box, a dehydration mechanism and a unloading mechanism, the dehydration mechanism comprises a lifting assembly and a pressing plate arranged in the dehydration box, the lifting assembly is installed on the top of the dehydration box, the bottom end of the lifting assembly is connected to the pressing plate and can drive the lifting and lowering of the pressing plate, the unloading mechanism comprises a baffle and a telescopic member, the baffle is arranged in a slide groove opened in the side wall of the bottom end of the dehydration box, the inner end of the baffle passes through the slide groove and is arranged in the dehydration box, the utility model drives the pressing plate to move downward by the lifting assembly, and the pressing plate squeezes the pickled mustard tubers in the dehydration box during the downward movement, so that the water in the pickled mustard tubers is discharged from the water holes, and the pickled mustard tubers are squeezed and dehydrated, thereby not only realizing the automatic dehydration of the pickled mustard tubers, but also ensuring the dehydration effect of the pickled mustard tubers, thereby meeting the use needs of users.

[0004] However, in order to improve the squeezing efficiency, the pickled mustard tuber is usually divided into strips, and multiple strips are evenly spread in a dehydration box. However, if the existing technical solution is adopted, during the squeezing process of the pickled mustard tuber strips, the pickled mustard tuber strips will be deformed after being compressed and easily clogged in multiple water holes, resulting in poor drainage. In addition, multiple pickled mustard tuber strips become tight after being compressed, resulting in a large amount of water having no space to be discharged to the outside, and accumulating between the pickled mustard tuber strips. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a mustard tuber dehydrating device to solve the problem in the prior art that mustard tuber strips are deformed after being compressed and easily clogged in multiple water holes, resulting in poor drainage.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A device for dehydrating mustard tubers comprises a frame and a dehydration box, the dehydration box is provided with a plurality of drainage holes, and also comprises a first cylinder located at the top of the dehydration box and a first pressure plate connected to the first cylinder; each drainage hole is slidably connected with a drainage pipe, the drainage pipe extends to the edge of the drainage hole on the side facing the inner side of the dehydration box, the outer diameter of the drainage pipe is equal to the aperture size of the drainage hole, the dehydration box is fixedly provided with a second cylinder, the second cylinder drives a second pressure plate fixedly connected to a plurality of drainage pipes, the second pressure plate is fixedly provided with a third cylinder, the third cylinder drives a third pressure plate, the third pressure plate drives a baffle rod passing through the second pressure plate and extending into the drainage pipes respectively, the outer diameter of the baffle rod is equal to the inner diameter of the drainage pipe, the baffle rod penetrates into the interior of the drainage pipe and completely blocks the drainage pipe; a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the dehydration box, the frame is provided with a fourth cylinder, the fourth cylinder drives a baffle plate that seals the discharge port.

[0007] Working principle and beneficial effects of the present invention: The present application uses a front baffle to seal the discharge port, and spreads the shredded mustard tuber to be dehydrated flat in the dehydration box. At this time, the drain pipe is located in the drainage hole, and the drain pipe extends to the edge of the drainage hole on the side facing the dehydration box. The baffle rod penetrates into the drain pipe and completely blocks the inside, so that the drain pipe and the baffle rod completely block the drainage hole. At this time, the first pressure plate is driven downward by the first cylinder. Since the drainage hole is completely blocked, the squeezed and deformed mustard tuber will not be pressed into the drainage hole.

[0008] After the first cylinder drives the first pressing plate to squeeze downward for a certain stroke, the first cylinder stops working, and the third cylinder drives the third pressing plate to move in the direction away from the dehydration box. The third pressing plate drives multiple baffles to move so that the baffles are separated from the drain pipe. At this time, the drain pipe is in a conducting state, and the water in the dehydration box is discharged outward through the drain pipe. However, since the mustard tuber shreds will be united with each other during the squeezing process, most of the water continues to be between the mustard tuber shreds. At this time, the second cylinder drives the second pressing plate to move toward the inside of the dehydration box, and the second pressing plate drives multiple drain pipes to move so that the drain pipe is inserted into the inside of the mustard tuber mass, thereby draining the accumulated water. After the drainage is completed, the second pressing plate drives multiple drain pipes to move in the opposite direction, and the drain pipe moves to the initial position. Then the third cylinder drives the third pressing plate to move toward the direction of the dehydration box, so that the baffle returns to the initial position and completely blocks the drain pipe. The baffle pushes out the mustard tuber fragments that may enter the drain pipe and drops them into the dehydration box, thereby ensuring that the drain pipe is completely unobstructed. Repeat the above operation many times, and the baffle can be driven to move by the fourth cylinder to expose the discharge port for discharge.

[0009] In this solution, when the mustard tuber is squeezed, the blocking rod closes the drainage pipe, and the drainage pipe closes the drainage hole, thereby preventing the squeezed and deformed mustard tuber from entering the drainage pipe. When a certain degree of squeezing is completed, the blocking rod is separated from the drainage pipe, and the drainage pipe is drained. Then the drainage pipe is inserted into the mustard tuber mass for drainage, so that the internal water is discharged in time, which has the following unexpected technical effects: 1. Zhacai is famous for its fresh, fragrant, tender and crisp characteristics. During the dehydration process, timely drainage of water helps to maintain these taste characteristics of Zhacai. If the water is not drained out in time, the Zhacai may become too soft and sticky during the pickling and fermentation process, and lose its unique crisp and tender taste. Dehydrated Zhacai is easier to absorb salt and other seasonings, thereby speeding up the pickling speed and improving the pickling efficiency. 2. Timely drainage of water can ensure that Zhacai absorbs salt more fully during the pickling process to form the desired flavor and taste. 3. During the dehydration process, if the water is not drained out in time, the soluble dry matter (such as sugar, amino acids, etc.) in the Zhacai may be lost along with the water, resulting in a decrease in the nutritional value of the Zhacai. Timely drainage of water can reduce the loss of nutrients and maintain the nutritional value of the Zhacai. 4. During the dehydration process, timely drainage of water can significantly reduce the water content in the Zhacai, thereby inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms (such as bacteria, mold, etc.).

[0010] Optimally, the frame is fixedly provided with a water collecting pan, and the water is collected by the water collecting pan.

[0011] Optimally, the drain pipe includes a tapered end and a circular section connected in sequence from left to right. The large diameter of the tapered end is conducive to outward drainage, and the circular section is convenient for cooperating with the blocking rod for blocking.

[0012] Optimally, the drain pipe is tilted upward toward the top of the dehydration box. A certain drainage angle is formed by the inclined drain pipe to utilize rapid drainage.

[0013] Optimally, the baffle plate and the frame are connected in a horizontal sliding manner. This optimization scheme can increase the stability of the baffle plate during sliding.

[0014] Optimally, the frame is provided with universal self-locking wheels. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods: The figure marks in the drawings of the specification include: fourth cylinder 1, baffle 2, dehydration box 3, feed port 4, first pressure plate 5, first cylinder 6, second cylinder 7, third cylinder 8, second pressure plate 9, drain pipe 10, baffle rod 11, third pressure plate 12.

[0017] In the following statements, directional words such as "left", "right", "up", and "down" are all based on the directions shown in the diagram. In practice, if the corresponding structures are changed in the same direction based on the directions while keeping the relative positions unchanged, it will not affect the implementation of the plan.

[0018] Embodiment: A mustard tuber dehydration device comprises a frame and a dehydration box 3, wherein the dehydration box 3 is provided with a plurality of drainage holes, and further comprises a first cylinder 6 located at the top of the dehydration box 3 and a first pressing plate 5 connected to the first cylinder 6; each drainage hole is slidably connected with a drainage pipe 10, the drainage pipe 10 extends to the edge of the drainage hole facing the inner side of the dehydration box 3, and the outer diameter of the drainage pipe 10 is equal to the aperture size of the drainage hole, The dehydration box 3 is fixedly provided with a second cylinder 7, and the second cylinder 7 drives a second pressure plate 9 fixedly connected to multiple drainage pipes 10. The second pressure plate 9 is fixedly provided with a third cylinder 8, and the third cylinder 8 drives a third pressure plate 12. The third pressure plate 12 is fixed with a baffle rod 11 that passes through the second pressure plate 9 and extends into the drainage pipes 10 respectively. The outer diameter of the baffle rod 11 is equal to the inner diameter of the drainage pipe 10. The baffle rod 11 penetrates into the interior of the drainage pipe 10 and completely blocks the drainage pipe 10; a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the dehydration box 3, and a fourth cylinder 1 is fixedly provided on the frame. The fourth cylinder 1 drives the baffle 2 that seals the discharge port, and a feed port 4 is provided at the top of the dehydration box 3.

[0019] The present application uses a front baffle 2 to seal the discharge port, and spreads the shredded mustard tuber to be dehydrated in the dehydration box 3. At this time, the drain pipe 10 is located in the drainage hole, and the drain pipe 10 extends to the edge of the drainage hole on the side facing the dehydration box 3. The baffle rod 11 penetrates into the drain pipe 10 and completely blocks the inside, so that the drain pipe 10 and the baffle rod 11 completely block the drainage hole. At this time, the first pressure plate 5 is driven downward by the first cylinder 6. Since the drainage hole is completely blocked, the squeezed and deformed mustard tuber will not be pressed into the drainage hole.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, after a cylinder drives the first pressing plate 5 to press downward for a certain stroke, the first cylinder 6 stops working, and the third cylinder 8 drives the third pressing plate 12 to move in a direction away from the dehydration box 3. The third pressing plate 12 drives multiple blocking rods 11 to move, so that the blocking rods 11 are separated from the drain pipe 10. At this time, the drain pipe 10 is in a conducting state, and the water in the dehydration box 3 is discharged outward through the drain pipe 10. However, since the mustard tuber shreds will be united with each other during the squeezing process, most of the water continues to be between the mustard tuber shreds, such as Figure 3As shown, at this time, the second cylinder 7 drives the second pressure plate 9 to move toward the inside of the dehydration box 3, and the second pressure plate 9 drives multiple drainage pipes 10 to move, so that the drainage pipes 10 are inserted into the inside of the massed sauerkraut, thereby draining the accumulated water. After the drainage is completed, the second pressure plate 9 drives the multiple drainage pipes 10 to move in the opposite direction, and the drainage pipes 10 move to the initial position. Then the third cylinder 8 drives the third pressure plate 12 to move toward the direction of the dehydration box 3, so that the baffle rod 11 returns to the initial position and completely blocks the drainage pipe 10. The baffle rod 11 pushes out the sauerkraut fragments that may enter the drainage pipe 10 and drops them into the dehydration box 3, thereby ensuring that the drainage pipe 10 is completely unobstructed. Repeat the above operation several times, and the baffle plate 2 can be driven to move by the fourth cylinder 1, so that the discharge port is exposed for discharge. In this solution, when the mustard tuber is squeezed, the baffle 11 closes the drain pipe 10, and the drain pipe 10 closes the drain hole, thereby preventing the squeezed and deformed mustard tuber from entering the drain pipe 10. After a certain degree of squeezing, the baffle 11 is separated from the drain pipe 10, and the drain pipe 10 is drained. Then the drain pipe 10 is inserted into the mustard tuber mass for drainage, so that the internal water is discharged in time, which has the following unexpected technical effects: 1. Mustard tuber is famous for its fresh, fragrant, tender and crisp characteristics. During the dehydration process, timely draining water helps to maintain these taste characteristics of mustard tuber. If the water is not drained out in time, the mustard tuber may become too soft and sticky during the pickling and fermentation process, and lose its unique crisp and tender taste. The dehydrated mustard tuber is easier to absorb salt and other seasonings, thereby speeding up the pickling speed and improving the pickling efficiency. 2. Timely draining water can ensure that the mustard tuber absorbs salt more fully during the pickling process to form the desired flavor and taste. 3. During the dehydration process, if the water is not drained out in time, the soluble dry matter (such as sugar, amino acids, etc.) in the mustard tuber will be lost along with the water, resulting in a decrease in the nutritional value of the mustard tuber. Draining the water in time can reduce the loss of nutrients and maintain the nutritional value of the mustard tuber. 4. During the dehydration process, draining the water in time can significantly reduce the water content in the mustard tuber, thereby inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms (such as bacteria, mold, etc.).
