Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of aquatic equipment, and in particular to a flip-type kelp drying device. Background Art

[0002] The existing traditional kelp drying is still mainly based on artificial sand beach drying, which has the characteristics of low quality and high labor. In addition, the existing natural hanging and hot air drying in the market can effectively solve the problem of no sand and stones in the dried kelp and ensure the quality of the kelp. However, hot air drying has low thermal energy utilization and high energy consumption, while natural hanging can avoid sand and stones and ensure quality. However, during the hanging process, the utilization rate of solar energy is low. Since the kelp is fixed during the hanging process, only the top of the kelp can be exposed to the sun, and the lower and middle parts cannot be fully exposed to light, and the drying efficiency is very low. In addition, during the hanging process, the kelp can usually only be dried on one side; the existing drying process cannot automatically turn the kelp over; and manual turning requires a lot of manpower. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a flipping kelp drying device, which realizes automatic transportation and automatic turning of kelp by using rollers with levers to cooperate with each other.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that the driving mechanism includes electric driving mechanisms corresponding to the rollers one by one; and each of the electric driving mechanisms is respectively connected to the end of each of the rollers in a transmission manner.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is characterized in that the bracket extends in the horizontal direction, and the rollers are adjacently distributed in the horizontal direction; the end of the lever has two forks; the two forks are bent respectively in the forward rotation direction and the reverse rotation direction of the roller.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that the bracket extends upward from the ground, and the rollers are divided into two rows in the vertical direction, and the two rows of rollers are staggered and adjacent to each other; for any one of the rollers, the roller is adjacent to the roller in the other row that is closest to it and is diagonally above and / or diagonally below it.

[0027] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention by specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0028] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the basic concept of the present invention in a schematic manner, and thus the illustrations only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0029] While some exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described for the purpose of illustration, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in other ways not specifically shown in the drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a flip-type kelp drying device, which includes: a bracket 20, a drum 10 installed on the bracket 20, and a driving mechanism for driving the drum 10 to rotate.

[0031] The axes of each drum 10 are parallel and rotatably mounted on a bracket 20 in a horizontal direction. The drum 10 includes three support rods 11 that are parallel to and equidistant from its axis, so that the drum 10 is in a triangular prism shape. In some embodiments, the spacing between adjacent support rods 11 is equal to one-half of the average length of the kelp leaf. In each drum, a plurality of levers 12 extending outward along the diameter direction of the drum 10 are arranged on a support rod 11 at intervals.

[0032] The lever 12 is used to hook the seedling rope 31. The roots of multiple pieces of kelp 30 are attached to the seedling rope 31, and the leaves of the kelp can hang freely. The support rods 11 are used to support the leaves of the kelp 30. In some embodiments, a mesh structure is also provided between the support rods 11 to prevent the leaves of the kelp from entering the drum. During the kelp drying process, the leaves of the kelp can be laid on the surface of the drum 10. When the drums 10 rotate relatively, the seedling rope attached with the kelp 30 can be transferred between adjacent drums 10, thereby realizing the transportation of the kelp and turning over during the drying process.

[0033] The distance between any two adjacent rollers 10 satisfies that: when the lever 12 of the first roller 10 points to the axis of the second roller 10, the second roller 10 can hook the seedling rope 31 hung on the first roller 10 through the lever 12 during rotation, so as to realize the hooking and transfer of the seedling rope. After the seedling rope 31 is transferred, the kelp on the seedling rope 31 is also transferred.

[0034] For any two adjacent rollers 10 , the levers 12 of the two rollers 10 are staggered in the axial direction to avoid interference between the levers 12 of the adjacent rollers 10 during the rotation of the rollers 10 .

[0035] Adjacent rollers 10 need to rotate relatively independently to effectively transfer the seedling rope 31 and the kelp 30. To this end, in some embodiments, each roller 10 is numbered in sequence, and the driving mechanism includes a sprocket driving mechanism located on both sides of the bracket 20; the sprocket driving mechanism located on one side of the bracket 20 is used to drive the odd-numbered rollers 10 to rotate; the sprocket driving mechanism located on the other side of the bracket 20 is used to drive the even-numbered rollers 10 to rotate; a sprocket is installed at the end of each roller 10 for transmission connection with the corresponding sprocket driving structure. Sprocket transmission is a prior art means in this field, so it is not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0036] The method of driving by odd and even numbers will make half of the drums 10 idle during the drying process; if the utilization rate of the drums needs to be improved, an independent driving mechanism can be provided for each drum 10. In some embodiments, the driving mechanism includes an electric driving mechanism corresponding to each drum; each electric driving mechanism is respectively connected to the end of each drum 10.

[0037] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket 20 extends in the horizontal direction, and the rollers 10 are adjacently distributed in the horizontal direction; the end of the lever 12 has two forks 13; the two forks 13 are bent toward the forward rotation direction and the reverse rotation direction of the roller 10 respectively.

[0038] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, during the starting process, the drum 10 located at the starting end of the bracket 20 points the lever 12 to the starting end of the drum 10, and then the operator hangs the seedling rope 31 attached with the kelp 30 on each lever 12, and the kelp 30 hangs freely.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the kelp 30 and the seedling rope 31 are then transported forward. During the forward transport process, the lever 12 of the front-stage drum 10 faces the axis of the rear-stage drum 10, and the rear-stage drum 10 rotates so that its lever 12 moves the seedling rope 31 from bottom to top. At the moment when the levers 12 of the two drums 10 are staggered, the front-stage drum 10 rotates, so that its lever 12 moves downward, and the kelp placed above it has a tendency to move in the direction of the secondary drum 10, so that the lever 12 of the secondary drum hooks the seedling rope 31. Then the secondary drum 10 can continue to rotate so that its lever 12 points to the axis of the next-stage drum 10. The above process description only describes the angle and rotation direction of the drum under each key state. The rotation process under other transition states can be arranged by a person skilled in the art according to the actual situation while ensuring that the seedling rope does not fall. This embodiment does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0040] Each time after the kelp seedling rope 31 is mounted at the starting end, forward transportation is performed. After all the seedling ropes 31 are mounted and transported, the kelp can be dried. During the drying process, the kelp 30 is supported by the drum 10 to fully receive sunlight; the kelp is suspended below, which is conducive to the dissipation of water vapor.

[0041] During the drying process, the kelp can also be turned over. For the drum 10 that stops after forward conveying, the reverse rotation is performed so that the lever 12 thereof points to the axis of the preceding drum 10, such as Figure 5As shown, at this time, the seedling rope 31 is laid on the lever 12 and the kelp hangs freely between the two drums 10; then the front drum 10 rotates, so that its lever hooks the seedling rope on the lever 12 of the rear drum 10 from bottom to top, and then the front drum 10 continues to rotate, so that the kelp 30 is laid on top of it; in this way, the kelp can be turned over. In the process of switching between forward and reverse conveying, the kelp will turn over; the above describes the process of switching from forward conveying to reverse conveying. The reverse conveying process is opposite to the forward conveying process, and will not be repeated here.

[0042] After the kelp is dried, the kelp 30 and the seedling rope 31 can be transported back to the starting end of the support 20 through a reverse transport process, or they can continue to be transported forward to the end of the support 20 to recover the kelp and the seedling rope 31.

[0043] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown, in order to save floor space, in other embodiments, the bracket 20 extends upward from the ground, and each roller 10 is divided into two rows in the vertical direction, and the two rows of rollers 10 are staggered and adjacent; for any roller 10, the roller 10 is adjacent to the roller 10 that is closest to the upper and / or lower rollers in the other row of rollers 10. For two adjacent rollers 10, the higher one is used as the subsequent roller, and the lower one is used as the preceding roller.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the rollers 10 in one row are numbered with odd numbers from bottom to top, such as 1, 2, 5, etc., and the rollers 10 in another row are numbered with even numbers from bottom to top, such as 2, 4, 6, etc. During the forward conveying process, the seedling rope 31 is transferred from the roller 10 numbered 1 to the roller 10 numbered 2, and then to the roller 10 numbered 3, until it is transferred to the target position. During the forward transmission process, the seedling rope 31 alternates upward between the two rows of rollers 10; the reverse transmission is the opposite, and the seedling rope 31 alternates downward between the two rows of rollers 10. When the seedling rope is transferred from one roller 10 to another row of rollers 10, the kelp 30 on the seedling rope 31 will turn over.

[0045] In this embodiment, a hook rod 14 tangential to the circumference of the drum 10 is provided at the end of the lever 12, and a limit rod 15 tangential to the circumference of the drum is provided in the middle of the lever 12. The hook rod 14, the limit rod 15 and the lever 12 form a "stem"-shaped structure.

[0046] like Figure 7As shown, during the initial launch, the lever 12 of the lowest roller 10 is horizontally directed toward another row of rollers 10; the operator then hangs the seedling rope 31 attached with kelp 30 on each lever 12, and the kelp 30 hangs freely. Figure 8 The state of the middle and front rollers is to facilitate the hooking of the seedling rope by the rear rollers.

[0047] like Figure 8 , 9 As shown, during the forward conveying process, the lever 12 of the front roller 10 tilts upward toward the axis of the rear roller 10; then the secondary roller 10 rotates so that its lever 12 hooks the seedling rope of the front roller 10 from the oblique bottom. Figure 8 After hooking the seedling rope 31 in the manner of Fig. 9 The state shown is to dry the kelp, and the lever 12 can also be rotated to face the axis of the next drum 10 so that the next drum 10 can hook the seedling rope. The reverse conveying process is the reverse process of the forward conveying process, such as Fig.10 As shown, no further description is given here.

[0048] During the kelp drying process, the levers 12 of the two rows of drums 10 face outward in opposite directions, so that the kelp 30 is placed on the drums 10. During the kelp turning process, the kelp can be moved to another row of drums 10 by forward conveying or reverse conveying, so as to realize the kelp turning.

[0049] The above process description only describes the angle and rotation direction of the roller under each key state. The rotation process under other intermediate transition states can be arranged according to actual conditions by those skilled in the art while ensuring that the seedling rope does not fall. This embodiment does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0050] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed by the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
