Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drying equipment technology, and in particular to a multifunctional drying device for bean products. Background Technology

[0002] Soy products are foods made from soybeans, mung beans, green beans, peas, broad beans, and other beans as the main raw materials. Soy products are mainly divided into two categories: soybean foods made from soybeans and other soy products made from other miscellaneous beans. In the production of dried soy products (such as bean curd sheets), the beans need to be dried to remove excess moisture. The processed soy products need to be dried before they can be packaged, so drying equipment is required.

[0003] Traditional sun-drying methods involve spreading beans directly on open ground outdoors. To ensure even drying, frequent manual leveling and turning are necessary. However, this method results in beans containing impurities such as dust and sand due to natural factors, and the drying process is highly dependent on weather conditions, taking a long time and making it difficult to guarantee quality. To address this, large-scale enterprises construct large sunrooms for drying. The floors inside these sunrooms are hardened to ensure proper drying quality, and racks are installed to dry bean products such as dried tofu and bean curd sheets. However, this method is not significantly different from traditional methods; it still requires manual spreading and arrangement of beans and bean products, regular manual turning, and extensive manual collection of dried beans and bean products. This consumes a significant amount of manpower, reducing production efficiency and profitability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies that require a lot of manual labor and have low production efficiency when drying beans and bean products, and to provide a multifunctional drying device for bean products.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a multifunctional drying device for bean products, comprising a track groove set on a fixed surface, a guide rail connected end-to-end inside the track groove, a moving device inside the track groove, and a drying platform set on the top of the moving device via an adjustable support device, the adjustable support device including an adjusting rod connected between the moving device and the drying platform, the adjusting rod being connected to the moving device and the adjusting rod via a spherical head.

[0006] Furthermore, the mobile device includes a base, an upward support column is provided at the middle position of the base, and a spherical seat is provided at the middle position of the drying platform and connected to the support column.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the base is provided with a drive wheel connected to the guide rail, and a drive motor is provided at the axis of the drive wheel. The drive motor is connected to a battery provided on the base.

[0008] Furthermore, the side wall of the support column is vertically provided with multiple opening slots, and a lifting device is provided inside the opening slot. The lifting device includes an electric push rod disposed inside the opening slot, and the output end of the electric push rod is provided with a slider connected to an adjusting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the drying platform is circular, and the upper surface of the drying platform is provided with multiple obstruction protrusions. An upward-facing enclosure is provided at the edge of the drying platform, and a discharge port is detachably provided on one side of the enclosure.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper surface of the drying platform is provided with multiple grooves, and a support rod is rotatably installed inside the groove. The end of the support rod is provided with an installation groove for connecting a crossbar.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the support rod is provided with a connecting shaft that is hinged to the groove. The outer side of the connecting shaft is provided with a stepped groove that abuts against the drying platform when the support rod is upright. A locking groove is provided on the opposite side of the support rod and the stepped groove. The locking groove is vertically positioned and its bottom extends through the bottom of the support rod. A locking rod is slidably positioned inside the locking groove. A locking pin is provided on the upper part of the locking rod. The locking pin extends laterally through the locking rod and engages with a positioning groove provided on the inner wall of the locking groove. A spring is wound around the outer wall of the locking pin. A lever is hinged to the outer wall of the locking rod. The lever is connected to the locking pin by an elastic rope.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the dial plate is provided with an arc-shaped notch.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The guide rail is installed inside the track groove via a bracket, and the base installed on the ground is guided by the guide rail, allowing the base to move cyclically along the guide rail inside the sunroom. A drive motor is installed at the axle of the drive wheel, and the drive motor is connected to a battery installed on the base. The drive wheel is a universal wheel, and the drive wheel abuts against the lower part of the guide rail via a frame. The pressure between the wheel and the guide rail can be controlled by adjusting the tightness of the frame to ensure the stability of the base's operation. A driven wheel is installed behind the drive wheel to ensure that the base moves along the direction of the guide rail and prevents deviation. Multiple support wheels are also installed below the base, which act on the ground to ensure the stability of the base and drying platform when the base moves, preventing beans and bean products from falling during the base's movement and enhancing the usability. A feeding point is installed on one side of the track groove, where beans are transported to the surface of the drying platform through a feeding pipe. A conveyor belt is installed on the other side to transport the dried beans and bean products out, reducing the tedious manual loading and unloading operations and lowering labor intensity.

[0014] The drying platform is tilted by adjusting the position of four electric push rods, maintaining a suitable angle between the platform and the sun to ensure even drying of the beans. At different times of the day, the motor controls the turntable to rotate with the sun, maximizing the direct sunlight drying area and significantly reducing production costs while ensuring economic benefits. It can also be operated manually, with the tilting and rotation of the drying platform controlled by a power switch, making it suitable for small-scale production and controlling production costs.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1-6As shown: A multifunctional drying device for bean products includes a track trough 1 set on a fixed surface. The track trough 1 has guide rails 101 connected end-to-end inside. The track trough 1 is located inside a factory-built sunroom. The fixed surface is hardened with cement. The track trough 1 is shaped like a coiled tube connected end-to-end on the ground. A maintenance pit 102 is dug on one side of the track trough 1. The depth of the maintenance pit 102 is greater than that of the track trough 1, allowing the guide rails 101 inside to be exposed, facilitating the installation and maintenance of the drive wheels 304 of the moving device. A movable cover is installed on the top of the maintenance pit 102, which is opened only during maintenance without affecting normal use. Two rubber strips are installed on the top of the track trough 1, pressing against each other. The rubber strips do not affect the movement of the moving device and prevent beans from entering the track trough 1 when they fall to the ground, reducing bean waste and ensuring safe use. The guide rail 101 is installed inside the track groove 1 via a bracket. The base 3 installed on the ground is guided by the guide rail 101, so that the base 3 moves in a loop along the guide rail 101 inside the sunroom. A feeding platform 104 is installed on one side of the track groove 1. When feeding, the beans are transported to the surface of the drying platform 2 through the feeding pipe. A conveyor belt 103 is installed on the other side to transport the dried beans and bean products out through the conveyor belt 103, reducing the tedious operation of manual loading and unloading and reducing labor intensity.

[0029] The track trough 1 is equipped with a moving device, which includes a base 3. An upward-facing support column 301 is positioned in the center of the base 3. A drying platform 2, circular in shape to ensure sufficient material holding area, is mounted on the top of the moving device via the adjustable support. A spherical seat is positioned in the center of the drying platform 2 and connected to the support column 301. A drive wheel 304, connected to the guide rail 101, is located at the bottom of the base 3. A drive motor 3041 is positioned at the axle of the drive wheel 304 and connected to a battery 303 mounted on the base 3. The drive wheel 304 is a multi-purpose drive wheel. The drive wheel 304 abuts against the lower part of the guide rail 101 via the frame. The pressure between the wheel and the guide rail 101 can be controlled by adjusting the tightness of the frame to ensure the stability of the base 3. A driven wheel 3042 is installed behind the drive wheel 304 to ensure that the base 3 moves along the direction of the guide rail 101 and prevents deviation. Multiple support wheels are also installed under the base 3. The support wheels act on the ground to ensure the stability of the base 3 and the drying platform 2 when the base 3 moves, preventing beans and bean products from falling during the movement of the base 3 and enhancing the use effect.

[0030] The drying platform 2 has an upward-facing enclosure along its edge. A detachable discharge port is located on one side of the enclosure. A battery 303 powers the drive motor 3041, which can be controlled remotely or via a wired remote. When movement is required, the connected aviation plug is quickly disconnected, and the drying platform 2 is moved to the conveyor belt 103 using the remote control. The discharge port is opened, and the drying platform 2 is tilted to allow the dried beans to fall onto the conveyor belt 103, eliminating the need for manual unloading and reducing manual operation. After unloading, the discharge port is closed, and the drying platform 2 is moved to the loading area to transport the undried beans onto the drying platform 2. This process is repeated, greatly reducing manual intervention and improving the efficiency of collecting and discharging materials during drying.

[0031] The upper surface of the drying platform 2 is provided with multiple blocking protrusions 201. After the material is placed, when each drying platform 2 reaches the designated position, in order to ensure the maximum drying effect, the drying platform 2 needs to adjust the tilt angle according to different seasons. The blocking protrusions 201 prevent the beans on the upper part from rolling down too much when the drying platform 2 is tilted, so that the beans can be spread flat on the drying platform 2. The spread beans can reduce the drying time, increase the drying rate, and increase economic benefits.

[0032] The adjustable support device includes an adjusting rod 305 connected between the moving device and the drying platform 2. The adjusting rod 305 is connected to the moving device and the adjusting rod 305 via a ball head 3052. The adjusting rod 305 is a straight rod, and an adjusting cylinder 3051 is installed on the adjusting rod 305. The two ends of the adjusting cylinder 3051 are screwed to the adjusting rod 305. By rotating the adjusting cylinder 3051, the length of the adjusting rod 305 can be changed, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the length of the adjusting rod 305, increasing control capability, and meeting different adjustment requirements. Multiple openings 4 are vertically arranged on the side wall of the support column 301. A lifting device is installed inside the opening 4. The lifting device includes an electric push rod 401 installed inside the opening 4. The output end of the electric push rod 401 is provided with a slider 402 connected to the adjusting rod 305. There are four openings 4. Four electric push rods 401 and adjusting rods 305 are also installed below the drying platform 2, supporting different directions to ensure the stability of the drying platform 2. The electric push rods 401 are all installed on a platform on the support column 301. When the electric push rods 401 work, they drive the sliders 402 to move up and down. Limiting grooves are opened on both sides of the sliders 402, which engage with the protrusions inside the opening 4 to ensure the stability of the sliders 402's up and down movement and improve the use effect. Both ends of the adjusting rod 305 are equipped with ball heads 3052. When adjusting the angle, the support angle of the drying platform 2 can be changed by adjusting the height of the sliders 402 at different positions, so that the beans on the drying platform 2 can maintain the best drying angle, greatly reducing the drying time and ensuring the drying effect. A turntable 302 is installed at the bottom of the support column 301. The turntable 302 is rotated by a motor. When loading, the drying platform 2 is kept horizontal, and the beans will accumulate in the middle of the drying platform 2. During the movement of the base 3, the aviation plug is disconnected. At this time, the electric push rod 401 and the motor on the turntable 302 are in a brake state, and the state is stable. When unloading, the spare aviation plug at the conveyor belt 103 is connected to control the angle of the drying platform 2 for unloading. After the unloading is completed, the drying platform 2 is adjusted to be horizontal, the aviation plug is disconnected, and the mechanical movement is used for loading. After loading is completed, the base 3 moves. Upon reaching the designated position, connect the dedicated aviation plug and control cable. First, rotate the drying platform 2 horizontally several times in a horizontal position. Under the action of centrifugal force, the beans are spread out from the middle of the drying platform 2 to the edge. After the beans are spread out, the drying platform 2 is deflected by adjusting the movement position of the four electric push rods 401, so that the drying platform 2 maintains a suitable angle with the sun, ensuring that the beans are dried evenly to the greatest extent. At different times of the day, the motor controls the turntable 302 to rotate with the movement of the sun, maximizing the direct drying area of ​​the drying platform 2.The electric push rod 401 and the motor on the turntable 302 are both connected to a servo controller. By setting a program, the drying needs of different seasons and time periods can be met. After drying for a certain period of time, the drying platform is tilted in the opposite direction, causing the beans on top to roll on the drying platform 2. Because the adjusting rod 305 is connected with a ball head 3052, the drying platform 2 can be adjusted at multiple angles. The program control also greatly reduces the degree of manual intervention, allowing a small number of people to operate multiple drying platforms 2. The drying process is basically automated, and manual intervention is only required when the feeding machine unloads the material. It is more suitable for long-term drying, such as the drying of soybeans for soy sauce, which greatly reduces production costs and ensures economic benefits. It can also be operated manually, with the operator controlling the deflection and rotation of the drying platform 2 through a power switch. It is suitable for small-scale production and controlling production costs.

[0033] When drying bean products, such as bean curd sheets and artificial meat, which are of a certain length, crossbars are required for support. Therefore, multiple grooves 202 are provided on the upper surface of the drying platform 2. Support rods 203 are rotatably installed inside the grooves 202. The ends of the support rods 203 are provided with mounting slots for connecting crossbars. When drying bean products, the support rods 203 need to be erected first, the bean curd sheets are placed on the crossbars, and the crossbars are placed into the mounting slots using the support rods. Multiple support rods 203 can hold multiple crossbars. The different heights of the support rods 203 allow the bean curd sheets and other products to be dried over the largest possible area. A motor can also be used to rotate the drying angle according to different time periods to improve the drying effect.

[0034] The bottom of the support rod 203 is provided with a connecting shaft that is hinged to the groove 202. A stepped groove 204 is provided on the outer side of the connecting shaft, which abuts against the drying platform 2 when the support rod 203 is upright. When the drying platform 2 is tilted and the support rod 203 is upright, the stepped groove 204 engages with the edge of the groove 202, providing an abutment point for the support rod 203 when it is vertical, thus maintaining stability during support. A locking groove 205 is provided on the opposite side of the support rod 203 and the stepped groove 204. The locking groove 205 is vertically positioned, and its bottom penetrates the support rod 203. At the bottom of 03, a locking rod 206 is slidably disposed inside the locking groove 205. A locking pin 2061 is disposed on the upper part of the locking rod 206. The locking pin 2061 passes laterally through the locking rod 206 and engages with a positioning groove disposed on the inner wall of the locking groove 205. A spring 2062 is wound around the outer wall of the locking pin 2061. A lever 2063 is hinged to the outer wall of the locking rod 206. The lever 2063 is connected to the locking pin 2061 by an elastic rope 2064. An arc-shaped notch is provided at the top of the lever 2063 to facilitate hand movement. The process involves manually pulling out the lever 2063. During use, the support rod 203 is raised vertically, and the lever 2063 is manually pulled outwards. The locking pin 2061 inside the locking rod 206 is pulled outwards via the elastic rope 2064. Then, the locking rod 206 slides downwards along the locking groove 205, causing its bottom to abut against the groove 202. The lever 2063 is then released, allowing the locking pin 2061 to engage with the lower positioning groove. This provides support points for the support rod 203 at both ends, ensuring stable support. The side of the support rod 203 is folded to provide an auxiliary rod 207. When the support rod 203 is vertical, the auxiliary rod 207 is pulled out from the inside to the outside, and then abuts against the surface of the drying platform 2. A rubber pad is glued at the abutment point to increase friction, ensuring the support rod 203 maintains a strong supporting effect and guaranteeing the drying effect of the bean products. When not in use, the support rod 203 can be stored inside the groove 202, achieving multiple uses for one machine, enhancing the drying effect, greatly reducing labor costs, improving drying efficiency, and ensuring economic benefits. It can be used on a large scale and centrally. Compared with traditional simple drying, it can be reused for a long time and in multiple batches. In terms of usage costs, due to its longer service life and better durability compared to traditional drying tools, and the ability to centrally control usage, usage costs can be better managed. Manufacturing dimensions and production specifications can be customized according to the customer's site dimensions to maximize site utilization and improve economic efficiency.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] like Figure 7-9As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that when the area of ​​a single drying platform 2 is large, some smaller users may only need a few drying platforms 2. In this case, the area of ​​the drying platform 2 is large. To maintain stability, the base 3 is fixed to the ground. A first connecting rod 501 is installed between the slider 402 and the drying platform 2. The end of the first connecting rod 501 is connected to the slider 402 through a ball seat. The other end of the first connecting rod 501 is hinged to a second connecting rod 502. One end of the second connecting rod 502 is connected to the bottom of the drying platform 2 through a ball seat. Two gas spring telescopic rods 503 are installed on the side wall of the second connecting rod 502. The ends of the gas spring telescopic rods 503 are connected to the drying platform 2 through ball seats, so that multiple support points are provided when the drying platform 2 deflects. To maintain stability during drying, a first groove 504 is provided on the first connecting rod 501. A first sliding rod 5 is slidably installed inside the first groove 504 via a connector 5041. The other end of the first sliding rod 5 is connected to the drying platform 2 via a spherical seat. Telescopic spherical heads 3052 are installed at both ends of the connector 5041. When sliding, the spherical heads 3052 engage with support points at different positions on the inner wall of the first groove 504. During use, the electric push rod 401 drives the slider 402 to slide up and down, using the first sliding rod 5 for auxiliary support, increasing support stability and ensuring stability during drying. By changing the angle between the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod 502, and with the assistance of the first sliding rod 5, the drying platform 2 can be tilted, ensuring the operation deflection of the large-plane drying platform 2, promoting the drying effect and improving drying efficiency.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
