[0001] The present invention relates to a drying device, specifically a circulating drying device for noodles. Background Art

[0002] Noodles are a unique traditional pasta snack in areas such as southern Fujian in China. The production process of noodles generally includes dough kneading, rubbing, stretching, coiling, pulling, drying, etc. After pulling the noodles, they need to be taken outdoors to the hanging rods for drying. Currently, when drying noodles, the quality of the noodles is often difficult to control due to the influence of the weather. For example, on rainy and cloudy days, the weather is too humid, making it difficult for the noodles to dry; on windy days, the weather is too dry, causing the noodles to dry too quickly and break. Based on this, after painstaking research by the applicant, this case was born. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 6 A recyclable drying device for face thread includes a support frame 1, a conveying device 2, a connecting rod 3, and a spiral rod 4 arranged in a convex-concave pattern in a top view. The connecting rod 3 connects the left and right ends of the spiral rod 4 and is located in front of the spiral rod 4. Tracks 5 are provided at the bottom of both the spiral rod 4 and the connecting rod 3. The conveying device 2 passes through the tracks 5 on the spiral rod 4 and the connecting rod 3. Several connecting pieces 6 are provided at the bottom of the conveying device 2, with the bottom of each connecting piece 6 extending beyond the tracks 5. A face thread hanging rod 7 is connected to the bottom of each connecting piece 6. A drive mechanism 8 for driving the conveying device 2 is provided at the front end of the support frame 1. The spiral rod 4 and the connecting rod 3 are connected to the bottom of the support frame 1. The front end of the support frame 1 is provided with a main steam pipe 9, which is connected to multiple steam distribution pipes 10. The multiple steam distribution pipes 10 extend forward, and each steam distribution pipe 10 has multiple air outlets 11 arranged at intervals on its side. The rear end of each steam distribution pipe 10 is provided with a plug 12. The support frame 1 is supported by multiple support columns (not shown in the figure), which are connected to the ground.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In this embodiment, multiple thread hanging rods 7 on the connecting parts 6 are connected to support rods 13 at their bottom. Both ends of each support rod 13 are connected to "∧"-shaped elastic hangers 14, and both ends of each elastic hanger 14 are provided with hooks 15. The thread hanging rod 7 is a hollow tube. In this embodiment, only one of two adjacent thread hanging rods 7 is connected to the support rod 13. This arrangement allows the threads to be placed in a staggered manner. When drying, the threads are draped over a thread hanging rod. The thread hanging rod can be inserted into the thread hanging rod 7 or suspended between the hooks 15 of the elastic hangers 14 at both ends of the support rod 13. The elastic hangers 14 can be folded or unfolded to easily adjust the distance between the threads. To further increase the number of threads that can be hung, each elastic hanger 14 is connected to a fork rod 141, and the end of the fork rod 141 is also provided with a hook 15. In addition to hanging the strung noodles, the hook 15 can also be used to pull the noodles after they are hung, saving the step of pulling the noodles indoors and then taking them out to hang them to dry, and solving the hygiene problem caused by the noodles falling to the ground during transportation.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The conveying device 2 is a conveying chain. Inclined rails 16 are connected to the corners of the loop rod 4. Inclined rails 16 are also provided between the left and right ends of the connecting rod 3 and the loop rod 4. Each end of the inclined rail 16 has a bearing seat 17 with a built-in bearing on one side. A rotating shaft 18 passes through the bearing seat 17. A sprocket 19 meshes with the conveying chain at the bottom of the rotating shaft 18. The sprocket 19 provides a transition function when the conveying chain turns. The inclined rails 16 ensure that the conveying chain can turn smoothly. The driving mechanism 8 includes a motor 81 and a reducer 82. The output end of the motor 81 is connected to the input end of the reducer 82, and the output end of the reducer 82 is connected to the rotating shaft 18 via a transmission. In this embodiment, the reducer 82 and the rotating shaft are connected via chain transmission. The driving mechanism 8 drives the conveying chain, ensuring that the surface line is constantly in transmission.

[0022] Reference Figures 3 to 5 Both the track 5 and the inclined track 16 have slots at their bottoms (not shown in the figure). The connector 6 includes a connecting piece 61 and a connecting plate 62. The connecting piece 61 is located at the bottom of the conveyor chain, and the connecting plate 62 is connected to the bottom of the connecting piece 61. The bottom of the connecting plate 62 is connected to the surface hanging rod 7. The bottom of the connecting plate 62 extends out of the slot (not shown in the figure). Rollers 63 are provided on both sides of the connecting plate 62. The rollers 63 can abut against the inner bottom surfaces of the track 5 and the inclined track 16. When the conveyor chain is in motion, the rollers 63 can roll within the track 5 and the inclined track 16. At the same time, the rollers 63 also play a supporting role, reducing the tension of the surface line on the conveyor chain.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 The loop rod 4 is provided with multiple inductive telescopic structures 20, each corresponding to a sprocket 19. Each sprocket 19 has a sensor 21 on one side for sensing the speed of the conveyor chain. Each inductive telescopic structure 20 includes a connecting plate 22, a micro motor 23, a gear 24, a rack 25, a moving rod 26, an outer sleeve 27, and an inner sleeve 28. The connecting plate 22 is connected to the loop rod 4. The micro motor 23 is located on the top surface of the connecting plate 22, and its output shaft passes through the bottom surface of the connecting plate 22. The gear 24 is connected to the output shaft of the micro motor 23. The rack 25 is movably located on the bottom surface of the connecting plate 22, and the gear 24 and rack 25 mesh. The moving rod 26 is connected to the rack 25, and its end away from the rack 25 has an opening slot 261. The outer sleeve 27 is connected to the connecting plate 22 via a connecting rod 29. The inner sleeve 28 is inserted inside the outer sleeve 27. The outer sleeve 27 has a vertically penetrating groove 271 on its outer periphery. The inner sleeve 28 has a vertically penetrating pin hole (not shown in the figure). The pin hole (not shown in the figure) is directly opposite the groove 271. A pin 30 is placed in the opening groove 261. The pin 30 passes through the groove 271 and the pin hole (not shown in the figure). The top of the pin 30 is engaged with the top surface of the moving rod 26. A roller 31 is provided at one end of the moving rod 26 near the conveyor chain.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 Due to prolonged operation, the conveyor chain may fail to fully engage with the sprocket 19 at corners, resulting in speed asynchrony. The sensor 21 transmits the chain speed. When the conveyor chain speed deviates from the set speed, the micro motor 23 starts and drives the rack 25 via the gear 24, which in turn moves the moving rod 26, causing the roller 31 to press against the conveyor chain, thereby changing the conveyor chain speed and ensuring synchronization at each corner. The movement of the rack 25 relative to the connecting plate 22 is a conventional configuration in the art and will not be elaborated here. For example, a slide rail can be provided on the bottom surface of the connecting plate 22, and a slider can be provided on the top surface of the rack 25. The movement of the rack 25 relative to the connecting plate 22 is achieved through the cooperation of the slide rail and the slider.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 6The design principle of this invention is as follows: The invention is installed in a sunroom. Steam is passed through the main steam pipe 9 and distributed to each steam distribution pipe 10. The steam is then released from the vent 11. On rainy days, the release of steam can increase the temperature inside the sunroom and reduce the drying time of the noodles. On windy days, the plugs 12 on the steam distribution pipes 10 can be removed to reduce the temperature of the steam and extend the drying time of the noodles. The noodles can be suspended on the noodle hanging rod 7 and between the hooks 15 corresponding to the elastic hanging parts 14 at both ends of the support rod 13. The conveyor chain drives the noodles to move in a loop on the loop rod 4, so that the noodles can have a uniform temperature during drying.

[0026] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present invention using this concept shall be considered as infringing upon the protection scope of the present invention.
