Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, and in particular to a kelp dehydration and drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Kelp is a perennial, large edible algae. Its sporophyte is large, brown, and flattened. It consists of blades, a petiole, and a holdfast, the holdfast resembling rhizoids. The blade is composed of epidermis, cortex, and medulla, with sporangia at the base. It possesses mucus cavities that secrete a slippery substance. The holdfast has tree-like branches used to attach to seabed rocks. It grows in cold seawater. Kelp requires dehydration during processing. Existing technology publication CN113662216A discloses a kelp dehydration device. The device body is hollow with an opening at the top. The inner wall of the device body is hinged to the right side of a placement plate. The left side of the placement plate is higher than the right side, and there is a gap between the left side of the placement plate and the inner wall of the device body. The placement plate is made of rigid filter material, and its top right side contacts a dehydration roller. Both ends of the dehydration roller are rotatably equipped with control handles. However, this method cannot collect excess water from the surface of the raw material, and the single heating and drying method results in poor quality and taste of the raw material, with a long drying time required for efficient drying. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a kelp dehydration and drying machine that can collect and store water stains, prevent water from flowing around, remove excess moisture from kelp shreds, ensure surface dryness, and improve drying efficiency.

[0004] This utility model discloses a kelp dehydration and drying machine, comprising a drying chamber, multiple support legs, two vertical plates, a conveyor, a draining component, a collecting component, and a drying component. Support legs are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the drying chamber, with friction plates at the bottom of the support legs. Vertical plates are installed at the front and rear ends of the lower part of the drying chamber, with a conveyor installed between the two vertical plates. A draining component is installed on the left side of the drying chamber, and a collecting component is installed below the draining component, fixed to the left support leg. The drying component is installed inside the drying chamber. Multiple support legs support the bottom of the drying chamber, ensuring stability during operation. Kelp shreds are placed on the draining component to remove residual moisture, which falls into the collecting component for storage, preventing water from flowing around. After entering the drying chamber, the kelp shreds are dried by the drying component, which removes excess moisture through heating, ensuring surface dryness and improving drying efficiency.

[0005] Preferably, the draining component includes two side plates, multiple rotating rollers, and a placement platform. The two side plates are respectively installed at an incline on the left side wall of the upright plate, and multiple rotating rollers are rotatably installed between the two side plates. A placement platform is installed at the left end of the side plates. After the kelp strips are placed on the top of the placement platform, they slide down onto the rotating rollers. Gravity causes the kelp strips to drive the multiple rotating rollers to rotate and move to the right onto the conveyor. The water on the kelp strips falls down through the gaps between the multiple rotating rollers, thus completing the draining of the kelp strips.

[0006] Preferably, it also includes a rotating shaft, a geared motor, and multiple levers. Columns are provided at the front and rear ends of the top of the placement platform, and a rotating shaft is rotatably installed between the two columns. The input end of the rotating shaft is connected to the output end of the geared motor, and multiple levers are evenly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. After the kelp strips are placed on the top of the placement platform, the geared motor is started to drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the multiple levers to rotate, which moves the kelp strips so that they slide down evenly, improving the subsequent processing effect.

[0007] Preferably, the collection component includes two support arms, a collection box, two support rods, and a drain pipe. Support arms are installed at both the front and rear ends of the collection box, and the support arms are connected to the left support leg. The bottom of the collection box is inclined, and a drain pipe is connected to the left side wall of the collection box. Support rods are installed at both the front and rear ends of the top of the collection box, and the top of the support rods is connected to the bottom of the side plate. The dripping water falls into the collection box for collection, preventing water from flowing around. The water can be discharged through the drain pipe, and the support rods can support the bottom of the side plate, increasing the structural strength and ensuring stability.

[0008] Preferably, the drying components include a drive motor, a threaded rod, a threaded sleeve, multiple limiting strips, an electric heating plate, an electric heating wire, and two fans. The drying chamber has a partition, with a heating chamber above the partition. The electric heating wire is installed inside the heating chamber. Multiple ventilation holes are provided on the partition. Two fans are installed at the top of the drying chamber and communicate with the interior of the heating chamber. The drive motor is installed at the middle of the top of the drying chamber. A threaded rod is installed at the output end of the drive motor. A threaded sleeve is screwed onto the outer arm of the threaded rod. Multiple limiting strips are evenly installed on the outer wall of the threaded sleeve. The threaded sleeve slides in the middle of the partition, and an electric heating plate is installed at the bottom of the limiting strips. When the conveyor moves the kelp shreds, the kelp shreds are dried by the electric heating plate. Starting the drive motor rotates the threaded rod, pushing the threaded sleeve downwards, which adjusts the distance between the electric heating plate and the kelp shreds, improving drying quality. Simultaneously, the electric heating wire and fans are activated. The fans blow air into the heating chamber, and the electric heating wire heats the air. The hot air is sprayed onto the kelp shreds through the ventilation holes, removing excess moisture, ensuring surface dryness, and improving drying efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes multiple vertical rods and multiple connecting slide plates. Multiple rectangular grooves are opened on the inner wall of the rear side of the drying oven. The vertical rods are installed in the rectangular grooves. Multiple connecting slide plates are evenly installed on the top of the heating plate. The other end of the connecting slide plate is slidably installed on the outer wall of the vertical rod. When the heating plate moves, it drives the connecting slide plate to slide on the vertical rod, providing guidance and support, increasing structural strength, and ensuring stability.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes multiple guide posts, with multiple guide posts installed on the top of the heating plate, and the guide posts are slidably mounted on the partition; when the heating plate moves, it drives the guide posts to slide on the partition, guiding and limiting them, further increasing stability.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes multiple hinges, two inspection doors and a discharge plate. An inspection port is opened at the front of the drying box, and the top of the inspection door is hinged to the inspection port. The discharge plate is installed on the right side of the drying box. The dried kelp strips can be discharged through the discharge plate. Opening the inspection door facilitates the maintenance of the equipment inside the drying box, improving the convenience of maintenance.

When the heating plate 19 moves, it drives the guide column 22 to slide on the partition, providing guidance and limiting, further increasing stability. The dried kelp shreds can be discharged through the discharge plate 27. Opening the inspection door 26 facilitates maintenance of the equipment inside the drying chamber 1, improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0016] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a kelp shred dehydration and drying machine. During operation, after the kelp shreds are placed on the top of the placement platform 7, the reduction motor 9 is started, driving the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. The rotating shaft 8 drives multiple actuating levers 10 to rotate, actuating the kelp shreds so that they slide evenly onto the rotating rollers 6. Gravity causes the kelp shreds to move the multiple rotating rollers 6 to the right, moving them onto the conveyor 4. The water on the kelp shreds drips down through the gaps between the multiple rotating rollers 6, completing the draining process. The dripping water falls into the collection box 12 for collection. To prevent water from flowing around, the water can be drained through the drain pipe 14. When the conveyor 4 moves the kelp shreds, the kelp shreds are dried by the electric heating plate 19. The drive motor 15 is started to drive the threaded rod 16 to rotate, pushing the threaded sleeve rod 17 to move downward, which can adjust the distance between the electric heating plate 19 and the kelp shreds.
