Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of betel nut processing, and particularly relates to a fully automatic drying device for betel nut production and processing and a usage method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The taro resembles an ellipse in shape. The outer skin of this variety is rough. When cut and observed, the inside shows betel nut patterns, so it is also called "betel nut taro". It is planted starting from the Waking of Insects and Spring Equinox seasons every year and can be harvested during the Frost's Descent. Each plant has a unique mother taro and small taros of different sizes. The betel nut taro is a high-quality vegetable with a high starch content. Its flesh is delicate, has a special flavor, and is rich in nutrition, containing various components such as crude protein, starch, multiple vitamins, and inorganic salts. It has the effects of tonifying qi and nourishing the kidneys, and strengthening the spleen and stomach. It is not only an excellent raw material for making food snacks and delicious dishes, but also a nutritious product for nourishing the body.

[0003] During the production and processing of betel nuts, multiple processing procedures are required, including drying treatment to prevent betel nuts from spoiling. However, the drying devices for betel nut processing on the market currently have a simple structure. During the drying process, the food moves with the conveyor belt for drying, but the bottom is not easily in contact with the heat due to its connection with the conveyor belt, resulting in uneven drying and reducing the drying efficiency of betel nuts. Therefore, a fully automatic drying device for betel nut production and processing and a usage method thereof are proposed herein. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Preferably, there are four groups of the overall structures formed by the bearing frames and the positioning rods, and they are distributed in a cross shape, which can increase the quantity of betel nuts for drying.

[0017] A usage method of a fully automatic drying device for betel nut production and processing includes the following steps:

[0018] S1. Lay the betel nuts flat at the bottom of the bearing frame;

[0019] S2. The conveyor belt works to transport the bearing component into the box body;

[0020] S3. The heating wire and the suction pump work to transport the heated air into the spray head and the fixed pipe through the air duct;

[0021] S4. The first motor and the electric push rod work to drive the spray head to rotate and change the direction of the spray head;

[0022] S5. The second motor works to drive the bearing frame to rotate;

[0023] S6. Transport the bearing component out of the box body through the conveyor belt to complete drying.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. In the present invention, by setting the adjusting component and working through the first motor and the electric push rod, the first motor can drive the limiting ring to rotate, thereby driving the connecting rod and the spray head to rotate synchronously, and further being able to change the direction of the spray head to increase the conveying range of the hot air, increase the contact area between the betel nuts and the hot air. The electric push rod can drive the positioning ring to move, enabling the guiding ball to move in the guiding groove, thereby driving the connecting rod to rotate, and further being able to change the angle of the spray head, further increasing the conveying range of the hot air, increasing the contact area with the betel nuts, and improving the drying efficiency of the betel nuts.

[0026] 2. In the present invention, by providing a bearing member, when the second motor operates, it can drive the first gear to rotate, thereby driving the engaged second gear to rotate, causing the fixed pipe to rotate, and further driving the bearing frame to rotate. This enables the betel nuts in the bearing frame to come into full contact with hot air in all directions, improving the drying efficiency. At the same time, by providing four bearing frames, the number of betel nuts can be increased. The hot air in the fixed pipe can be blown into the bearing frame through the ventilation holes, allowing the sides and bottoms of the betel nuts to come into contact with hot air, achieving uniform drying. When it is necessary to take out the betel nuts in the bearing frame, by pushing the push rod, the push rod can drive the moving block to move until the moving block drives the clamping rod out of the clamping groove, releasing the positioning rod. By pulling the bearing frame, the bearing frame can be disassembled, facilitating the removal of the betel nuts.

[0027] 3. In the present invention, through the mutual cooperation of the adjusting member and the bearing member, it can ensure that the betel nuts come into full contact with hot air in all directions and are evenly heated, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the betel nuts. The continuous rotation of the four bearing frames can achieve large - batch drying of the betel nuts.

[0028] 4. In the present invention, first, when the heating wire operates, it can heat the air, facilitating the drying of the betel nuts. Then, the adjusting member adjusts the angle and direction of the nozzle to increase the range of air delivery. At the same time, the second motor drives the bearing frame to rotate, increasing the contact area between the betel nuts and hot air, making the drying of the betel nuts uniform and improving the drying efficiency of the betel nuts.
