Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fruit and vegetable drying processing, and particularly relates to an online moisture dynamics monitoring device and a monitoring method in a fruit and vegetable drying process. Background Art

[0002] Fruit and vegetable drying is an important part of agricultural product processing. Dried fruits and vegetables have special flavor and color. Accurately judging the quality of fruits and vegetables during drying is the basis for timely adjusting the drying process. However, for a long time, the judgment of the quality of fruits and vegetables during drying has mainly relied on experience and lacked quantitative instruments. The essence of fruit and vegetable drying is the unity of the dehydration and drying process of fruits and vegetables and the physiological and biochemical process. The water content in fruits and vegetables directly affects the speed and direction of biochemical changes in tissue cells. For example, if the water loss of fruits and vegetables is too fast during drying, it will lead to premature cell death and incomplete conversion of aroma substances; if the water loss is too slow, it will cause browning of fruits and vegetables. In the drying process, it is very important to strictly control the water loss rate and water loss in each stage of drying to make it consistent with the internal changes and appearance of fruits and vegetables, in order to ensure and improve the drying quality.

[0003] However, at present, technicians still mainly rely on senses and experience, and use the relatively general appearance of fruits and vegetables to determine the degree of drying. At each key stage of the drying process, the temperature and humidity control equipment in the drying room is intervened according to the water loss and color changes of fruits and vegetables, and the physiological and biochemical changes of fruits and vegetables are prolonged or stopped in time. This method is highly subjective and arbitrary, and there is a high risk of damaging the materials. There is a large room for improvement in drying quality. The existing moisture measurement methods are either sensitive to temperature and humidity, or require constant interruption of normal baking for sampling and are time-consuming. It is impossible to provide real-time moisture data during the fruit and vegetable drying process. Based on this, it is necessary to study a dynamic online moisture monitoring device and monitoring method for the fruit and vegetable drying process. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the defects and problems existing in the existing equipment, the present invention provides an online monitoring device and a monitoring method for the dynamic moisture content in the fruit and vegetable drying process, which effectively solves the problem that the technicians in the existing equipment mainly rely on their senses and experience to judge the drying degree by using the relatively general appearance of fruits and vegetables, which is highly subjective and arbitrary, and there is a high risk of damaging the materials. There is a large room for improvement in the drying quality. The existing moisture measurement methods are either sensitive to temperature and humidity, or require constant interruption of normal baking for sampling and are time-consuming, and cannot provide real-time moisture data during the fruit and vegetable drying process.

[0010] A method for online monitoring of moisture dynamics in a fruit and vegetable drying process, the method mainly comprising the following steps:

[0011] S1: Weigh and record the fresh weight of the material m0, input the initial moisture content of the fruit and vegetable sample W0, and calculate the dry matter weight of the fruit and vegetable material m1=m0*(1-w0);

[0012] S2: Put the device into the baking room and start baking, record the baking time t, and record the weighed material weight m according to the cycle T;

[0013] S3: Calculate the water loss weight of the material m2=m0-m, the real-time moisture content w=(m-m1) / m, and the water loss rate v=d(1-w) / dt, and draw a dynamic curve with the time period T as the horizontal axis and the water loss weight of the material m2, the real-time moisture content w and the water loss rate v as the vertical axis;

[0014] S4: Use the conditional module to determine whether the real-time moisture content w of the material changes within 5T. If so, return to S2 and repeat. Otherwise, an alarm will be issued to indicate that the baking is over.

[0016] By setting the hanging rod and the placing rack, the hanging rod is evenly provided with spacers, which can facilitate the separation of fruits and vegetables and prevent the fruits and vegetables from sliding or piling up to affect the drying effect. The placing rack can be installed on the hanging rod through a pin, and the fruits and vegetables can be placed on the placing rack for monitoring, which can also prevent the fruit and vegetable leaves from falling during drying and affecting the data accuracy.

A weighing mechanism can also be fixed at both ends of two fixed blocks to form a flat monitoring weighing device with the hanging rod and the placing rack, thereby expanding the application range of the equipment and improving the accuracy of data monitoring.
