Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of candied fruit production equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated drying and pasteurization equipment for candied fruit production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of candied fruit, drying and pasteurization are core processes for ensuring product quality and extending shelf life. Drying removes excess sugar and moisture from the surface of the candied fruit, preventing mold growth during storage. Pasteurization kills microorganisms at low temperatures while preserving the color, flavor, and nutrients of the candied fruit to the greatest extent possible. Currently, drying and pasteurization in candied fruit production are mostly carried out in separate steps using independent equipment. This production model has several technical drawbacks, as follows: In existing technologies, the drying and sterilization of candied fruit need to be carried out in separate steps. This not only requires manual handling of the candied fruit, which can easily cause secondary pollution, but also results in low production efficiency and high labor costs. Meanwhile, the air inlets of drying and sterilization equipment are generally equipped with filters to intercept impurities. However, impurities can adhere to the surface of the filters, thus affecting airflow and requiring regular manual cleaning. In addition, the hot air generated during the drying of candied fruit is directly discharged, resulting in a waste of hot air. In addition, the airflow of drying and sterilization equipment is basically a large-scale diffusion pattern, making it difficult to concentrate the airflow. Therefore, it is easy to have the defect of uneven heating of candied fruit, resulting in poor drying and sterilization effect. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention relates to an integrated drying and pasteurization equipment for candied fruit production. This invention achieves continuous operation of drying and pasteurization, eliminating the need for manual handling and increasing production efficiency by more than half. A single power source enables dual-function switching, resulting in a streamlined and energy-efficient structure. Uniform hot air coverage and heat recycling ensure both quality and energy efficiency. The quick-loading and unloading design, combined with a linked sealing structure, provides convenient operation and excellent protection. Its high degree of automation makes it suitable for large-scale production and significantly improves product quality consistency.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the described embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 14 : This invention proposes an integrated drying and pasteurization equipment for candied fruit production, comprising: a bottom support frame 100, a sterilization chamber 200 fixedly installed at the upper end of the bottom support frame 100, a pasteurizer 210 installed inside the sterilization chamber 200, a set of bolt mounting holes opened on the side of the pasteurizer 210, and matching bolts installed according to actual needs at the position of the bolt mounting holes; the pasteurizer 210 is selected according to actual needs and is a commonly used model for candied fruit sterilization; the pasteurizer 210 kills microorganisms in the candied fruit while preserving the color, flavor and nutritional components of the candied fruit; a hot air exhaust bend 240 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sterilization chamber 200, and an exhaust pipe 1000 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the hot air exhaust bend 240; a set of air inlet mesh holes are opened on one side of the inlet shell 810, the air inlet mesh holes are connected to the heating wire 820, and the end of the exhaust pipe 1000 is provided with... An exhaust housing 1001 is fixedly connected. A set of bolt mounting holes is opened at the upper end of the exhaust housing 1001. Matching bolts are installed according to the actual needs of the bolt mounting holes. After the bolts are installed, the end of the exhaust pipe 1000 is reinforced. An exhaust hole is opened at the bottom of the exhaust housing 1001. The exhaust hole is aligned with the air inlet mesh of the drainage housing 810. The air inlet mesh filters the airflow entering the drainage housing 810 from the outside, preventing impurities in the air from entering the interior of the drainage housing 810. A portion of the humid and hot airflow in the sterilization chamber 200 enters the interior of the exhaust pipe 1000 and the exhaust housing 1001. The airflow discharged from the exhaust housing 1001 can flow back to the drainage housing 810, be reheated by the heating wire 820 and recycled, improving the utilization of heat. In addition, the airflow discharged from the exhaust housing 1001 will blow away the dust adhering to the surface of the mesh, achieving the efficiency of mesh self-cleaning. In at least one embodiment, a set of rotatably connected drive rollers 310 are installed inside the sterilization chamber 200, and a rotatably connected tension shaft 330 is installed on the outer side of the sterilization chamber 200. Pulleys are fixedly installed at the ends of the drive rollers 310 and the tension shaft 330, respectively. A transmission belt 320 is installed between the set of pulleys. The drive rollers 310, the transmission belt 320, the tension shaft 330, and the first electric motor 340 cooperate with each other to form a drive mechanism 300. Specifically, the tension shaft 330 tensions the transmission belt 320, and the drive mechanism 300 cooperates with the transmission belt 320 through the pulleys to enable the first electric motor 340 to synchronously drive the set of drive rollers 310. In at least one embodiment, a first stabilizing plate 400 is installed on the outer side of the sterilization chamber 200. A set of bolt mounting holes are respectively opened at the corners of the first stabilizing plate 400 and the first electric motor 340. Matching bolts are installed inside the bolt mounting holes as needed to stably connect the first stabilizing plate 400 and the first electric motor 340. Two positioning rods 410 are provided at the upper end of the first stabilizing plate 400. A first positioning ear plate 220 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sterilization chamber 200. Two sliding holes are opened inside the first positioning ear plate 220, corresponding to the positioning rods 410. The positioning rods 410 pass through the interior of the sliding holes. The positioning rods 410, in conjunction with the first positioning ear plate 220, position the first stabilizing plate 400 axially and vertically, ensuring stable lateral movement of the first stabilizing plate 400 under force. A support spring is installed on the outer side. The elasticity of the support spring can be selected according to actual needs to ensure that the support spring stably pushes the first electric motor 340 to reset, simplifying the operation process. An iron block 420 is installed between the two positioning rods 410. A set of stabilizing grooves is opened on the side of the iron block 420. An annular groove is opened at the end of the positioning rod 410. The side of the iron block 420 is installed in the annular groove of the positioning rod 410 in conjunction with the stabilizing groove. The iron block 420 and the annular groove of the positioning rod 410 cooperate to improve the overall structure. A second positioning ear plate 230 is fixedly connected on the outer side of the sterilization chamber 200. Two stabilizing holes are opened inside the second positioning ear plate 230. Two stabilizing blocks are provided on one side of the electromagnet 600. The stabilizing blocks extend into the stabilizing holes of the second positioning ear plate 230. The electromagnet 600, the positioning rod 410, and the iron block 420 are aligned. In at least one embodiment, a first electric motor 340 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the first stabilizing plate 400. A gear is installed on the outer side of the drive shaft of the first electric motor 340 and the tension shaft 330, respectively. When the electromagnet 600 is energized, the adsorption positioning rod 410 and the iron block 420 approach the electromagnet 600. At this time, the first electric motor 340 moves, and the gears of the first electric motor 340 and the tension shaft 330 mesh. At this time, the first electric motor 340 can control the rotation of the drive roller 310 and the transmission belt 320 without manual switching of the transmission state. The uniform rotation of the drive roller 310 drives the storage component 900 to move smoothly, and the candied fruit in the storage component 900 automatically switches positions within the sterilization chamber 200. A movable isolation plate 500 is installed through the interior of the sterilization chamber 200. A sliding hole corresponding to the isolation plate 500 is opened at the upper end of the sterilization chamber 200. The isolation plate 500 passes through the interior of the sliding hole. A rack 510 is fixedly connected to one side of the isolation plate 500. The rack 510 extends to the outside of the sterilization chamber 200. The rack 510 and the gear installed on the first electric motor 340 are aligned. When the electromagnet 600 is de-energized, the first electric motor 340 is reset under the support of the spring. At this time, the gear of the first electric motor 340 meshes with the rack 510, controlling the first electric motor 340 to drive the rack 510 to rise and fall. This causes the rack 510 to drive the isolation plate 500 to rise and fall. After the isolation plate 500 falls, it divides the interior of the sterilization chamber 200 into two parts. After the isolation plate 500 rises, it facilitates the switching of the storage component 900 inside the sterilization chamber 200. Specifically, the first electric motor 340 is used to switch the driving force between the drive mechanism 300 and the isolation plate 500, simplifying the structure of the equipment and reducing the driving cost. The 500-degree lowering of the partition plate can divide the sterilization chamber 200 into a drying zone and a sterilization zone, enabling simultaneous and independent drying and sterilization operations, thus improving the efficiency of candied fruit processing. In at least one embodiment, an electromagnet 600 and a flow-guiding housing 810 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the sterilization chamber 200. A heating wire 820 is fixedly connected inside the flow-guiding housing 810. A second electric motor 830 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the flow-guiding housing 810. A fan 840 is installed at the upper end inside the flow-guiding housing 810. The flow-guiding housing 810, heating wire 820, second electric motor 830, fan 840, and flow-diverting housing 850 cooperate with each other to form a drying structure 800. The middle part of the fan 840 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the second electric motor 830. A diversion housing 850 is installed inside the sterilization chamber 200. A docking hole is opened on one side of the diversion housing 810, and the docking hole is connected to the upper end of the diversion housing 850. Therefore, when the second electric motor 830 drives the fan 840 to rotate, the fan 840 delivers the heated airflow from the heating wire 820 to the diversion housing 850. The diversion housing 850 branches the airflow and discharges it outward, so that the hot air fully covers the candied fruit in the storage component 900. To avoid uneven drying of candied fruit, the drying and pasteurization structures operate independently, achieving integrated continuous operation and significantly improving production efficiency. A discharge port is located on one side of the sterilization chamber 200, with a sealing door 700 installed on its outer side. A stable track is fixed to the outer side of the sterilization chamber 200, and one side of the sealing door 700 extends into the stable track. A set of bolt mounting holes is located on one side of the isolation plate 500, and a set of threaded holes is located at the corner of the sealing door 700. Matching bolts are installed between the bolt mounting holes and the threaded holes as needed, completing the stable connection between the isolation plate 500 and the sealing door 700. The isolation plate 500 and the sealing door 700 form an integrated structure. The opening and closing of the sealing door 700 is synchronized when the isolation plate 500 rises and falls, eliminating the need for separate operation of the sealing door 700 and simplifying the process. When the sealing door 700 is closed, it ensures the airtightness of the sterilization chamber 200, improving the drying and sterilization effects of the candied fruit. The sealing door 700 covers the discharge port, and a second stable plate 910 is installed inside the sterilization chamber 200.

[0028] In at least one embodiment, there are four second stabilizing plates 910. A set of drying frames 930 is fixedly installed inside the four second stabilizing plates 910 with a set of bolts. A flow-guiding sleeve is provided on one side of the drying frame 930, extending into the interior of the diversion housing 850. A set of flow grooves is formed inside the drying frame 930, communicating with the flow-guiding sleeve. A set of exhaust holes is formed on the inner side of the upper end of the drying frame 930. Therefore, the diversion housing 850 can effectively transport hot airflow into the interior of the drying frame 930. The exhaust holes of the drying frame 930 discharge hot airflow inwards. (Specific function...) The drive roller 310 rotates to automatically connect the guide sleeve of the drying frame 930 with the diversion housing 850, ensuring efficient introduction of hot air from the storage component 900 into the drying frame 930. The exhaust port of the drying frame 930 directly discharges hot air towards the candied fruit, enhancing the heat exchange efficiency and increasing the drying speed. The drying frame 930 has an internal mounting slot with a U-shaped structure. Inside the mounting slot are a storage mesh tray 940 and a waste collection tray 950. The waste collection tray 950 is located at the bottom of the storage mesh tray 940. A set of transverse sliding holes is provided on one side of the storage mesh tray 940, and a locking mechanism is provided on one side of the drying frame 930. A third locking rod 960 is installed through the sliding hole of the storage mesh tray 940. One side of the third locking rod 960 extends into the locking hole of the drying frame 930. A support spring is installed on the outer side of the third locking rod 960. The support spring pushes the third locking rod 960 to reset. The third locking rod 960, in conjunction with the locking hole, completes the quick locking of the storage mesh tray 940. The setting of the third locking rod 960 improves the loading and unloading efficiency of the storage mesh tray 940. The mounting groove of the drying frame 930 enables quick connection with the storage mesh tray 940 and the waste collection tray 950, facilitating the loading and unloading of candied fruit and the cleaning of waste. The waste collection tray 950 can collect candied fruit that falls into the water. To prevent impurities and debris from falling and contaminating the equipment and other preserved fruits, a set of rotating grooves is opened inside the second stabilizing plate 910. A set of horizontal support rollers 920 are installed inside the rotating grooves. The second stabilizing plate 910, support rollers 920, drying frame 930, storage mesh tray 940, waste collection tray 950, and third locking rod 960 cooperate to form the storage component 900. The side of the support rollers 920 contacts the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 200. With the cooperation of the support rollers 920, the storage component 900 can move smoothly and stably inside the sterilization chamber 200, avoiding direct friction between the storage component 900 and the sterilization chamber 200 and causing wear.

[0029] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figures 5-8 As shown, the bottom of the hot gas exhaust bend 240 and the sterilization chamber 200 are connected, and a set of sensors and solenoid valves are installed between the hot gas exhaust bend 240 and the exhaust pipe 1000.

[0030] The working principle of this embodiment: When using the integrated drying and pasteurization equipment, first place the equipment and the bottom support frame 100 stably on the production station, control the electromagnet 600 to turn off the power, control the first electric motor 340 to drive the isolation plate 500 and the sealing door 700 to rise, open the sealing door 700, and spread the candied fruit to be processed evenly in the storage mesh tray 940. Then, put the storage mesh tray 940 and the waste collection tray 950 into the mounting slot of the drying frame 930 in sequence, and push the third locking rod 960 to automatically lock the storage mesh tray 940.

[0031] The assembled storage component 900 is pushed in along the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 200, so that the support roller 920 contacts the inner wall of the sterilization chamber 200. Then, the first electric motor 340 is controlled to drive the isolation plate 500 and the sealing door 700 to descend, and the sealing door 700 is closed, dividing the isolation plate 500 and the sterilization chamber 200 into a drying area and a sterilization area.

[0032] The pasteurizer 210 is started to perform low-temperature pasteurization on the candied fruit in the sterilization zone. After the candied fruit is sterilized, the isolation plate 500 and the sealing door 700 are raised. Then, the electromagnet 600 is energized. The electromagnet 600 attracts the iron block 420 and drives the first electric motor 340 to move laterally, so that the gear of the first electric motor 340 meshes with the gear of the tension shaft 330. The first electric motor 340 is started to drive the transmission belt 320 and drive the roller 310 to rotate at a constant speed. The storage component 900 moves smoothly to the next process area with the cooperation of the support roller 920. Next, the power supply to the electromagnet 600 is cut off, and the first electric motor 340 is reset under the action of the support spring. The gear of the first electric motor 340 re-engages with the rack 510, and the first electric motor 340 is started to drive the isolation plate 500 to descend. The flow-guiding sleeve of the drying frame 930 automatically docks with the flow-dividing housing 850 to ensure that the hot air from the storage component 900 is efficiently introduced into the drying frame 930; the second electric motor 830 and the heating wire 820 are started, and the fan 840 blows the hot air through the exhaust holes of the flow-dividing housing 850 and the drying frame 930 to the candied fruit in the drying area to start the drying operation.

[0033] After the dried and sterilized candied fruit is finished, the pasteurizer 210 and heating wire 820 are de-energized. The first electric motor 340 is controlled to drive the isolation plate 500 and sealing door 700 to rise and open the sealing door 700. Then, following the switching steps described above, the gear of the first electric motor 340 re-engages with the rack 510, and the first electric motor 340 drives the drive roller 310 to rotate, conveying the storage component 900 to the discharge port of the sterilization chamber 200. The storage component 900 is removed, and the third locking lever 960 is pulled to unlock the storage mesh tray 940. The storage mesh tray 940 and waste collection tray 950 are removed in sequence, and the finished candied fruit and collected impurities and debris are poured out. If continuous production of candied fruit is required, the above steps are repeated.
