Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of dehydrated vegetable drying technology, and more specifically, to a high-utilization drying device for dehydrated vegetables. Background Technology
[0002] Dehydrated vegetable drying is a common food processing technique used to remove moisture from vegetables in order to extend their shelf life, reduce weight and volume, while retaining their nutritional value and flavor.
[0003] A search revealed a high-utilization drying device for dehydrated vegetables, published under publication number CN214892335U. This device includes a drying unit body, a cleaning brush, and a chute. A servo motor is fixedly installed inside the drying unit body, with a drive gear fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. A cage screen is connected inside the drying unit body via bearings, and a driven gear is fixedly connected to the outside of the cage screen, which has a feed inlet. An annular tube is fixedly installed inside the drying unit body, with an air pipe fixedly installed at the top of the annular tube. A spring is also fixedly installed inside the drying unit body, and the cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the end of the spring. A reciprocating screw is connected inside the drying unit body via bearings, and a lifting block is sleeved on the outside of the reciprocating screw. This technical solution allows dehydrated vegetables to be heated evenly and dried uniformly. It can automatically clean the surface of the cage screen during the drying process. However, the above-mentioned technology... The above-mentioned technical solution has the following shortcomings in practical use: The above-mentioned technical solution uses a rotating cage to make the dehydrated vegetables tumble continuously to ensure that the dehydrated vegetables are heated evenly. However, the dehydration process removes most of the water from the vegetables, which reduces the water content of the vegetables. When the water content is reduced, the vegetable tissue is more susceptible to external pressure and therefore becomes more fragile. In addition, after the water is removed, the various parts of the vegetables lose a protective buffer effect, making them more susceptible to external pressure and prone to breakage. This makes the dehydrated vegetables brittle and fragile after drying. In this case, when the dehydrated vegetables are subjected to strong physical impacts in the cage, such as tumbling and mixing, collisions and impacts will occur between the dehydrated vegetables, and friction and collisions will also occur between the dehydrated vegetables and the inner wall of the cage. These factors will all cause the dehydrated vegetables to break, which will increase the scrap rate of the dehydrated vegetable drying process and generate unnecessary economic losses.
[0004] In view of this, this application proposes a drying device for dehydrated vegetables with high utilization rate. Summary of the Invention

[0050] One end of the drive shaft has a hemispherical structure.
[0051] The technical effects and advantages of the present invention are as follows:
[0052] (1) By setting up a feeding component, a power module, a drive component, a moving component, an intermittent feeding component and a trigger component, under the combined action of the feeding component, the power module, the drive component, the moving component, the intermittent feeding component and the trigger component, the vegetable raw materials in the hopper will fall evenly onto the grid tray, and form multiple evenly distributed "vegetable piles" on the grid tray. In addition, under the action of the vibration component, several "vegetable piles" will be spread on the grid tray. Under the action of the drying component, several jet nozzles can spray hot air evenly toward the grid tray, thereby drying the vegetable raw materials spread on the grid tray evenly. Since the vegetable raw materials are evenly spread on the grid tray, the vegetable raw materials can be fully heated and quickly dehydrated, which can ensure the drying speed and drying effect of the device for the vegetable raw materials. In addition, the vegetable raw materials will not squeeze or rub against each other during the drying process, avoiding the breakage of the vegetable raw materials during the drying and dehydration process. In summary, through the above design, the vegetable raw materials avoid mutual squeezing and friction during the entire process of feeding, even distribution and drying, reducing the risk of breakage of the vegetable raw materials and avoiding unnecessary economic losses.
[0053] (2) By setting up cylinders, hinges and sliding components, when collecting materials, the staff starts the cylinder. When the cylinder is running, it can drive the rotating frame to rotate around the hinge on the bottom support. When the rotating frame rotates, the grid tray will rotate accordingly, so that the grid tray is in an inclined state. When the grid tray is inclined, the dehydrated vegetables on the grid tray will slide along the grid tray. The staff only needs to use a container on one side of the grid tray to collect the dehydrated vegetables, which can play a role in collecting the dehydrated vegetables. The operation is convenient and the material can be collected quickly. In addition, the staff can also manually shake the sliding frame to make the sliding frame vibrate. The vibrating sliding frame makes it easier for the dehydrated vegetables to slide off the grid tray, which can improve the material collection speed of dehydrated vegetables.
[0054] (3) By setting up a sealing cover, during the drying process of dehydrated vegetables, the staff puts the sealing cover on the top support so that the sealing cover covers the grid tray, which can reduce the heat loss and increase the drying speed of the dehydrated vegetables. Furthermore, an exhaust structure is also opened on the top of the sealing cover. Before collecting the material, the staff uses the exhaust structure to let the heat in the sealing cover escape, so that the temperature of the parts on the device is reduced and the staff is prevented from being burned by high-temperature parts.

[0067] 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 embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0068] Reference Figure 1-3A high-efficiency drying device for dehydrated vegetables includes a frame 1, a drying assembly 2, a sliding assembly 3, a feeding assembly 4, a power module 5, a drive assembly 6, a moving assembly 7, a vibration assembly 8, an intermittent feeding assembly 9, and a triggering assembly 10. The frame 1 includes a bottom support 11, a rotating frame 12, a sliding frame 13, a mesh tray 14, a top support 15, a sealing cover 16, several hinges 17, and cylinders 18. The sealing cover 16 is placed on the top support 15, with one side hinged to the top support 15 and the other side having several latches. During the drying process of the dehydrated vegetables, the operator closes the sealing cover 16 onto the top support 15, covering the mesh tray 14, which reduces heat loss and increases the drying speed of the dehydrated vegetables. Furthermore, the top of the sealing cover 16 has an exhaust structure, allowing the operator to ventilate the vegetables before collecting the material. The heat inside the sealed cover 16 is released through the exhaust structure, which lowers the temperature of the components on the device and prevents burns from high-temperature parts. The rotating frame 12 is rotatably mounted on one side of the bottom support 11 via several hinges 17. One end of the cylinder 18 is rotatably mounted on the bottom support 11, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 18 is rotatably mounted on the side of the rotating frame 12 away from the hinges 17. When collecting dehydrated vegetables, the operator starts the cylinder 18. When the cylinder 18 is running, it drives the rotating frame 12 to rotate around the hinges 17 on the bottom support 11. When the rotating frame 12 rotates, the grid tray 14 will rotate accordingly, causing the grid tray 14 to be in an inclined state. When the grid tray 14 is inclined, the dehydrated vegetables on the grid tray 14 will slide along the grid tray 14. The operator only needs to use a container on one side of the grid tray 14 to collect the dehydrated vegetables.
[0069] Reference Figure 3-5 The drying assembly 2 is placed inside the sliding frame 13 and is positioned directly opposite the grid tray 14. It is used to dry the dehydrated vegetables spread on the grid tray 14. The drying assembly 2 includes a hot air blower 21, an air outlet pipe 22, and several air jets 23. The hot air blower 21 is mounted on the bottom support 11. The air outlet pipe 22 is fixed inside the sliding frame 13, and the air jets 23 are all mounted on the air outlet pipe 22, which is connected to the air outlet of the hot air blower 21. The air jets 23 are evenly distributed... On the air outlet duct 22, and with several jet nozzles 23 all facing the grid tray 14, when drying dehydrated vegetables, the staff starts the hot air blower 21. When the hot air blower 21 is running, it can supply hot air into the air outlet duct 22, so that the hot air is sprayed out from the several jet nozzles 23. The several jet nozzles 23 can spray hot air evenly towards the grid tray 14, thereby drying the vegetable raw materials spread flat on the grid tray 14 evenly. Since the vegetable raw materials are evenly spread on the grid tray 14, the vegetable raw materials can be fully heated and quickly dehydrated.
[0070] Reference Figure 4-5 The sliding frame 13 is slidably mounted on the rotating frame 12 via the sliding assembly 3. The grid support plate 14 is fixed to the sliding frame 13. The sliding assembly 3 includes two slide rails 31, two wheel frames 32, several pulleys 33, and several springs 34. The two slide rails 31 are respectively fixed to both ends of the rotating frame 12, and the two wheel frames 32 are slidably mounted on the two slide rails 31. During the sliding process, the two slide rails 31 and the two wheel frames 32 can limit the movement of the sliding frame 13. The several pulleys 33 are rotatably mounted on the two wheel frames 32, and the several pulleys 33 are respectively connected to the two slide rails 31. The two wheel frames 32 are in contact with each other, and the number of pulleys 33 on the two wheel frames 32 is the same. The pulleys 33 on the wheel frames 32 can reduce the friction between the slide rail 31 and the wheel frame 32, making it easier for the staff to manually push the sliding frame 13 to move. Both wheel frames 32 are fixed to the bottom surface of the sliding frame 13. One end of each of the several springs 34 is connected to the wheel frame 13, and the other end is connected to the rotating frame 12. The springs 34 between the sliding frame 13 and the rotating frame 12 are used to reset the sliding frame 13. When discharging, the staff can also manually shake the sliding frame 13 to make the sliding frame 13 vibrate, which can improve the speed of collecting dehydrated vegetables.
[0071] Reference Figure 2 , 6 -7. The top support 15 is fixed to the top surface of the sliding frame 13. The feeding assembly 4 is installed on the top support 15. The feeding assembly 4 includes four side plates 41, four sliding rods 42, two sliding blocks 43, a hopper 44, and two guide rods 45. The four side plates 41 are fixed at the four corners of the top support 15, and the four side plates 41 are arranged in pairs facing each other. The four sliding rods 42 are arranged in pairs and fixed between two pairs of facing side plates 41. The two sliding blocks 43 are slidably fitted onto the two sets of sliding rods 42. Both guide rods 45 are fixed between the two slide blocks 43. The bottom of the hopper 44 is slidably sleeved on the two guide rods 45. During the movement of the hopper 44, the four slide rods 42 and the two slide blocks 43 limit the movement of the hopper 44. In addition, the two guide rods 45 also limit the movement of the hopper 44, which can ensure the stability of the movement of the hopper 44. By setting the slide rods 42, slide blocks 43 and guide rods 45, the hopper 44 can move in the width and length directions of the grid support plate 14.
[0072] Reference Figure 10-11The power module 5 is mounted on the feeding assembly 4. The power module 5 works in conjunction with the drive assembly 6 to drive the feeding assembly 4 to move along the width of the grid support plate 14 above it. The power module 5 includes a servo motor 51, a sleeve 52, a shaft 53, a spline 54, a groove 55, two threaded ports 56, two positioning ports 57, and a positioning screw 58. The servo motor 51 is mounted on the side of the hopper 44, and one end of the sleeve 52 is axially connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 51. The bottom end of the sleeve 52 has an open structure, and the shaft 53 is slidably fitted inside the sleeve 52. The inner surface of the sleeve 52 and the side surface of the shaft 53 are in close contact, ensuring that the sleeve 52... The connection stability between the shafts 53 is ensured by a spline 54 fixed to the shaft 53. The spline 54 facilitates the rotation of the drive shaft 62 and transmission shaft 82 by the shaft 53. A groove 55 adapted to the spline 54 is provided on the inner surface of the sleeve 52 to accommodate the spline 54. Two threaded openings 56 are provided on the sleeve 52 and are positioned opposite each other. Two positioning openings 57 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the shaft 53. A positioning screw 58 passes through the two threaded openings 56 and one of the positioning openings 57. The two threaded openings 56 and the two positioning openings 57 limit the position of the shaft 52, allowing the operator to flexibly adjust the position of the shaft 52.
[0073] Reference Figure 6-7The power module 5 works in conjunction with the drive assembly 6 to drive the feeding assembly 4 to move along the width direction of the grid pallet 14 above it. The drive assembly 6 includes a bearing housing 61, a drive shaft 62, a through-hole 63, a gear 64, and a rack 65. The bearing housing 61 is fixed to the side of the hopper 44, and the drive shaft 62 is rotatably mounted on the bearing housing 61. The through-hole 63 is formed through the drive shaft 62, and the drive shaft 62, the through-hole 63, and the output shaft of the servo motor 51 are coaxially aligned. The device includes a gear 64 fixedly mounted on a drive shaft 62, and a rack 65 fixed to two slide blocks 43 via two L-shaped rods. The gear 64 and rack 65 mesh with each other. When the servo motor 51 operates, it drives the sleeve 52 and shaft 53 to rotate, causing the gear 64 to move under the action of the rack 65. The hopper 44 is also equipped with a moving assembly 7, which includes several fixed plates 71 and two rods 72. The fixed plates 71 are respectively fixed on both sides of the top support 15 and located on the same side. Several fixed plates 71 are evenly distributed on the side, and each fixed plate 71 is provided with an inclined surface. By providing the inclined surface, it is easy for the rod 72 to move along the inclined surface of the fixed plate 71. The inclined surfaces on the two opposite fixed plates 71 are inclined in opposite directions. The two rods 72 are respectively fixed on both sides of the hopper 44. When the hopper 44 moves to the other side of the top support 15, one of the rods 72 on the hopper 44 will come into contact with the inclined surface of the opposite fixed plate 71, and will move along with the hopper 44. The aforementioned rod 72 will press against the inclined surface of the opposite fixed plate 71, causing the hopper 44 to move along the inclined surface of the fixed plate 71. At this time, the hopper 44 will move along the length of the grid tray 14. The moving component 7 works in conjunction with the driving component 6 to drive the feeding component 4 to move along the length of the grid tray 14 above it. The feeding component 4, the power module 5, the driving component 6 and the moving component 7 work together to make the feeding component 4 evenly place the dehydrated vegetables onto the grid tray 14.
[0074] Reference Figure 7-8The vibration component 8 is mounted on the feeding component 4. The vibration component 8 works in conjunction with the power module 5 to drive the mesh support plate 14 to vibrate. The vibration component 8 includes a second bearing seat 81, a first transmission shaft 82, a second through-hole 83, two third bearing seats 84, a second transmission shaft 85, and an eccentric wheel 86. The second bearing seat 81 and the two third bearing seats 84 are fixed to the side of the hopper 44. The first transmission shaft 82 is rotatably mounted on the second bearing seat 81, and the second transmission shaft 85 is rotatably mounted on the two third bearing seats 84. The first transmission shaft 82 and the second transmission shaft 85 are connected by a transmission component. Notably, the transmission component uses a chain drive. Specifically, the transmission component may include two synchronous pulleys and a synchronous belt. The synchronous belt is fitted onto the two synchronous pulleys to achieve transmission between them. It should be understood that using synchronous pulleys and a synchronous belt for transmission is not the only implementation. In other embodiments, the transmission component may also use sprockets and chains for transmission, similar to the transmission method of synchronous pulleys and synchronous belts. The transmission methods of the transmission components are not described in detail here. Without departing from the basic concept of this invention, any flexible changes in the transmission methods of the transmission components should be considered within the scope of protection defined by this invention. Specifically, the second opening 83 is formed on the first transmission shaft 82, and the second opening 83 is coaxially arranged with the first opening 63. The eccentric wheel 86 is fixed to the top of the second transmission shaft 85, and the eccentric wheel 86 is not coaxially arranged with the second transmission shaft 85. When the shaft 53 is inserted into the second opening 83, the servo motor 51 operates. When rotating, the drive shaft 82 is driven to rotate through the shaft 53 and spline 54, which in turn causes the eccentric wheel 86 to rotate. During the rotation, the eccentric wheel 86 continuously impacts the side wall of the grid tray 14, causing the grid tray 14 to vibrate under its own elastic force. When the grid tray 14 vibrates, several "vegetable piles" evenly distributed on it will spread on the grid tray 14, thus ensuring that the vegetable raw materials are evenly distributed on the grid tray 14, which can ensure the drying speed and drying effect of the vegetable raw materials.
[0075] Reference Figure 2 and 10An intermittent feeding component 9 is placed inside the feeding component 4, and a triggering component 10 is placed on the side of the feeding component 4. The triggering component 10 operates in conjunction with the driving component 6 to control the operation of the intermittent feeding component 9, causing the feeding component 4 to intermittently feed dehydrated vegetables. The intermittent feeding component 9 includes a partition 91, a discharge port 92, a control plate 93, a baffle 94, a groove 95, and an electromagnet 96. The partition 91 is fixed to the inner surface of the hopper 44, and the side of the partition 91 fits against the inner surface of the hopper 44 to prevent dehydrated vegetables from entering the gap between the partition 91 and the hopper 44. The discharge port 92 is located in the middle of the partition 91. One side of the control plate 93 is rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the partition 91 via a hinge. The control plate 93 and the discharge port 92 are positioned opposite each other. The control plate 93 is made of magnetic material, which facilitates the attraction of the electromagnet 96 to the control plate 93. The groove 95 is formed on the bottom surface of the partition plate 91, and the electromagnet 96 is installed inside the groove 95. The bottom surface of the electromagnet 96 and the bottom surface of the partition plate 91 are on the same plane. When the electromagnet 96 is energized, it generates magnetism and attracts the control plate 93. Under the action of the trigger component 10, the hopper 44 will realize the function of periodic material discharge. Therefore, during the process of the hopper 44 moving back and forth in an S-shaped curve above the grid tray 14, the vegetable raw materials in the hopper 44 will fall evenly onto the grid tray 14 and form multiple evenly distributed "vegetable piles" on the grid tray 14.
[0076] Reference Figure 9 The trigger assembly 10 includes a housing 101, two clearance openings 102, a micro switch 103, and a trigger rod 104. The housing 101 is fixed to the side of the hopper 44 by a bracket, and the two clearance openings 102 are respectively located on the upper and lower surfaces of the housing 101. The micro switch 103 is installed on the inner surface of the housing 101 and is electrically connected to the electromagnet 96. One end of the trigger rod 104 is fixed to the bottom end of the drive shaft 62, and the other end is positioned opposite the micro switch 103. When the trigger rod 104 contacts the micro switch 103, the micro switch 103 controls the electromagnet 96 to energize and rotate. The specific control method of electromagnet 96 is existing technology and is not considered an innovative part of this technical solution. It is not shown in the figure and will not be described in detail here. One end of the drive shaft 62 has a hemispherical structure, which facilitates the drive shaft 62 to press and trigger the micro switch 103. When the trigger rod 104 is in contact with the micro switch 103, the micro switch 103 will control the electromagnet 96 to be energized. When the trigger rod 104 is not in contact with the micro switch 103, the electromagnet 96 will be de-energized. Thus, with the operation of the drive shaft 62, the electromagnet 96 will be periodically energized and de-energized. At the same time, in conjunction with the intermittent feeding component 9, the hopper 44 will realize the function of periodic feeding.
[0077] Working principle:
[0078] When using the dehydrated vegetable drying device proposed in this invention, the operator first opens several latches between the top support 15 and the sealing cover 16, then rotates the sealing cover 16 and pours the vegetable raw materials into the hopper 44. At the same time, the operator uses a baffle to block the bottom opening of the hopper 44. At this time, the vegetables in the hopper 44 will not fall from the hopper 44 onto the grid tray 14.
[0079] In the initial state, the hopper 44 is located at one corner of the top support 15. The positioning screw 58 passes through the positioning port 57 at the lower end of the shaft 53. At this time, the shaft 53 and spline 54 are both inserted into the through port 63 on the drive shaft 62. When dehydrating the vegetables, the operator starts the servo motor 51. When the servo motor 51 runs, it can drive the sleeve 52 and the shaft 53 to rotate. When the shaft 53 rotates, it can drive the drive shaft 62 to rotate through the spline 54. When the drive shaft 62 rotates, it can drive the gear 64 to rotate, causing the gear 64 to move under the action of the rack 65, thereby causing the hopper 44 to move accordingly, moving the hopper 44 from one side of the top support 15 to the other side. At this time, the hopper 44 will move in the width direction of the grid support plate 14. When the hopper 44 moves to the other side of the top support 15, one of the rods 72 on the hopper 44 will contact the inclined part of the opposite fixed plate 71, accompanied by... As the hopper 44 continues to move, the aforementioned rod 72 will press against the inclined surface of the opposite fixed plate 71, causing the hopper 44 to move along the inclined surface of the fixed plate 71. At this time, the hopper 44 will move in the length direction of the grid support plate 14. When the rod 72 moves to the edge of the inclined surface of the fixed plate 71, the gear 64 just moves to the edge of the rack 65. At this time, the direction of the servo motor 51 changes, causing the gear 64 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the hopper 44 to move in the opposite direction. When the hopper 44 moves to the side of the top support, another rod 72 on the hopper 44 will contact the inclined surface of the opposite fixed plate 71. Referring to the aforementioned raw material, the hopper 44 will move in the length direction of the grid support plate 14 under the action of the inclined surface of the corresponding fixed plate 71. Based on the above process, with the periodic forward and reverse rotation of the servo motor 51, the hopper 44 will move back and forth in an S-shaped curve above the grid support plate 14.
[0080] When the hopper 44 begins to move, the worker removes the baffle, causing the vegetable raw materials inside the hopper 44 to fall. As the hopper 44 moves above the grid tray 14, the intermittent feeding component 9 and the trigger component 10 work together to achieve intermittent feeding. Specifically, as the shaft 53 drives the drive shaft 62 to rotate, the drive shaft 62 also drives the trigger rod 104 to rotate. During rotation, the trigger rod 104 periodically contacts the micro switch 103. When the trigger rod 104 contacts the micro switch 103, the micro switch 103 energizes the electromagnet 96. When the trigger rod 104 is not in contact with the micro switch 103, the electromagnet 96 is de-energized. Thus, with the rotation of the drive shaft 62, the electromagnet 96 periodically switches on and off. When the electromagnet 96 is energized, it generates magnetism and attracts the control plate 93, which is made of magnetic material, causing the control plate 93 to move. The material plate 93 rotates until the control plate 93 is attracted to the electromagnet 96. At this time, the control plate 93 will block the discharge port 92, and the vegetable raw materials in the hopper 44 will temporarily accumulate on the partition plate 91 and the control plate 93. When the electromagnet 96 is de-energized, the electromagnet 96 will lose its magnetism. At this time, the control plate 93 will reverse and reset under its own gravity until the control plate 93 contacts the stop bar 94. The stop bar 94 limits the position of the control plate 93. In this state, the control plate 93 will not block the discharge port 92, and the vegetable raw materials in the hopper 44 will fall through the discharge port 92. Based on the above process, with the operation of the servo motor 51, the hopper 44 will realize the function of periodic material discharge. Therefore, during the process of the hopper 44 moving back and forth in an S-shaped curve above the grid support plate 14, the vegetable raw materials in the hopper 44 will fall evenly onto the grid support plate 14 and form multiple evenly distributed "vegetable piles" on the grid support plate 14.
[0081] After the vegetable raw materials are fed, the operator controls the power-off time of the servo motor 51 to position the hopper 44 at one corner of the top support 15. Then, the operator turns the positioning screw 58 to move it out of the two threaded holes 56 and the corresponding positioning holes 57, thereby releasing the positioning screw 58 from the limitation of the shaft 53. Next, the operator moves the shaft 53 down so that the shaft 53 and the spline 54 are inserted into the second through-hole 83. At this time, spline 54 will completely move out of the opening 63. The operator then restarts servo motor 51. When servo motor 51 runs, it drives transmission shaft 82 to rotate via shaft 53 and spline 54. Since spline 54 has completely moved out of the opening 63, shaft 53 will not drive drive shaft 62 to rotate, gear 64 will not rotate, and hopper 44 will not move. However, when transmission shaft 82 rotates, it can drive transmission shaft 85 to rotate via transmission components. When the drive shaft 85 rotates, it can also drive the eccentric wheel 86 to rotate. During the rotation, the eccentric wheel 86 can continuously hit the side wall of the grid tray 14, causing the grid tray 14 to vibrate under its own elastic force. When the grid tray 14 vibrates, the several "vegetable piles" evenly distributed on it will spread on the grid tray 14, so that the vegetable raw materials are evenly distributed on the grid tray 14. After the above operation is completed, the operator starts the hot air blower 21. When the hot air blower 21 is running, it can supply hot air into the air outlet duct 22, so that the hot air is sprayed out from several jet nozzles 23. The jet nozzles 23 can evenly spray hot air towards the grid tray 14, thereby evenly drying the vegetable raw materials spread on the grid tray 14. Since the vegetable raw materials are evenly spread on the grid tray 14, the vegetable raw materials can be fully heated and quickly dehydrated, which can ensure the drying speed and drying effect of the vegetable raw materials. In addition, the vegetable raw materials will not squeeze or rub against each other during the drying process, avoiding the breakage of the vegetable raw materials during the drying and dehydration process.
[0082] After drying, the operator starts cylinder 18. When cylinder 18 operates, it drives the rotating frame 12 to rotate around hinge 17 on the bottom support 11. As the rotating frame 12 rotates, the mesh tray 14 rotates accordingly, tilting the mesh tray 14. When the mesh tray 14 is tilted, the dehydrated vegetables slide along it. The operator simply needs to use a container on one side of the mesh tray 14 to collect the dehydrated vegetables. Furthermore, during the collection process, the operator can also... Manually shaking the sliding frame 13 causes it to vibrate, which facilitates the sliding of dehydrated vegetables from the grid tray 14 and increases the collection speed of dehydrated vegetables. During the sliding process, the two slide rails 31 and the two wheel frames 32 limit the movement of the sliding frame 13. The pulleys 33 on the wheel frames 32 reduce the friction between the slide rails 31 and the wheel frames 32, making it easier for the staff to manually push the sliding frame 13 to move. In addition, the spring 34 between the sliding frame 13 and the rotating frame 12 is used to reset the sliding frame 13.
[0083] It is worth mentioning that during the drying process of dehydrated vegetables, the staff covers the top support 15 with the sealing cover 16, so that the sealing cover 16 covers the grid tray 14. This can reduce heat loss and increase the drying speed of the dehydrated vegetables. Furthermore, the top of the sealing cover 16 is also provided with an exhaust structure. Before collecting the materials, the staff can use the exhaust structure to let the heat inside the sealing cover 16 escape, thereby reducing the temperature of the components on the device and preventing the staff from being burned by high-temperature parts. The specific structure and working principle of the exhaust structure are not considered as an innovative part of this technical solution and are not shown in the figure. They will not be described in detail here.
