Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vegetable dehydrator technology, specifically a rapid continuous vegetable dehydrator. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetable dehydration is a process of rapidly dehydrating fresh vegetables to quickly reduce their moisture content. This allows the dehydrated vegetables to be added directly to convenience foods or processed and placed in seasoning packets as ready-to-eat meals. Current technology uses blowers to blow water off vegetables to achieve the purpose of drying. However, direct blowing is slow and can only quickly dry the moisture on the surface of the vegetables, while the moisture inside the vegetables is dehydrated very slowly, which affects production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section, the present invention provides a rapid continuous vegetable dehydrator, employing the following technical solution:

[0004] The device includes a gantry frame, on which a fan is mounted. A storage mechanism is located inside the gantry frame and is connected to the fan. A fixed plate is mounted on the gantry frame, and a pressing mechanism is mounted on the fixed plate. A geared motor is mounted at one end of the pressing mechanism and is fixed to the inner wall of the gantry frame. A first bearing is mounted at the other end of the pressing mechanism and is fixed to the inner wall of the gantry frame. An actuating mechanism is also mounted on the inner wall of the gantry frame and is movably connected to both the storage mechanism and the pressing mechanism.

[0005] The storage mechanism includes a hexagonal silo. Several pressing chambers are evenly distributed circumferentially within the hexagonal silo. Each pressing chamber has an opening at its top, with a pressing element installed on the opening. A top plate is installed inside each pressing chamber, and an elastic element is installed at its bottom. One end of the elastic element passes through the bottom of the pressing chamber and connects to the top plate. An air cylinder is located at the center of the inner side of the hexagonal silo, and its outer side connects to the elastic element. The right side of the pressing chamber is a closed structure, and the left side is an open structure. A sealing door is hinged to the left side of the pressing chamber, and a locking ring is installed on the sealing door. A spring pin is installed on the hexagonal silo, and the spring pin engages with the locking ring to lock it in place. Rotating shafts are located on both sides of the hexagonal silo, and second bearings are installed on the rotating shafts. The second bearings are fixed to the gantry frame.

[0006] The pressing component includes a limiting rod disposed on the opening, a pressing plate movably disposed on the limiting rod, and a first spring disposed on the outside of the limiting rod, with one end of the first spring connected to the opening and the other end connected to the pressing plate.

[0007] The elastic element includes a sleeve, one end of which is connected to the pressing chamber and the other end of which is connected to the air cylinder. A push rod is installed inside the sleeve, one end of which passes through the bottom of the pressing chamber and connects to the top plate, and the other end of which passes through the air cylinder. A circular plate is installed on the push rod, and a second spring is installed on the outside of the push rod. One end of the second spring is connected to the circular plate and the other end of which is connected to the air cylinder.

[0008] Several air holes are provided on the pressing plate, top plate, bottom of the pressing chamber, and air cylinder.

[0009] The pressing mechanism includes a worm wheel mounted on a fixed plate, a worm mounted on the worm wheel, a drive gear mounted on the worm, one end of the worm being connected to a reduction motor and the other end being equipped with a first bearing, a first short rod mounted on the worm wheel, and a connecting rod rotatably connected to the first short rod;

[0010] It also includes a fixing block set on a fixing plate. The fixing block has a hollow structure inside and a groove is provided on the fixing block. A second short rod is slidably set in the groove. The connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second short rod. A plate is set inside the fixing block and is connected to the second short rod. A pressing block is set on the plate.

[0011] The actuating mechanism includes an actuating wheel mounted on a rotating shaft. The actuating wheel is provided with arc-shaped grooves and U-shaped grooves, which are arranged alternately. An actuating element is provided on the actuating wheel.

[0012] The actuating component includes a third bearing fixed on the gantry frame, a short shaft on the third bearing, a hollow wheel on the short shaft, an arc-shaped plate on the hollow wheel, a actuating shaft on the arc-shaped plate, and a driven gear on one side of the hollow wheel, which meshes with the driving gear.

[0013] This invention has the following advantages: Vegetables are placed in the storage mechanism. A reduction motor drives a part of the pressing mechanism to rotate, while another part moves up and down reciprocally. The pressing mechanism drives a toggle mechanism to rotate, which in turn drives the storage mechanism to rotate intermittently. When the storage mechanism stops for a short period after rotating, it is directly facing the downward-moving pressing mechanism. The pressing mechanism presses down on the upper part of the storage mechanism, causing it to indent and pressing the vegetables inside. The blower sprays water onto the vegetables inside the storage mechanism to remove surface moisture while simultaneously removing internal water. This invention not only removes water from both the inside and outside of the vegetables at the same time, accelerating the dehydration efficiency, but also adjusts and reduces the space for storing vegetables as the volume of the vegetables gradually decreases during dehydration, resulting in a better pressing and draining effect. Furthermore, the intermittent rotation of the storage mechanism makes the dehydration of the vegetables more uniform, making it easier for the vegetables to be blown out by the blower after removing moisture.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] This invention provides a rapid continuous vegetable dehydrator; please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 1-3The system includes a gantry frame 1, on which a fan 2 is mounted and fixed to the inner wall of the gantry frame 1. A storage mechanism is located inside the gantry frame 1 and rotatably connected to it. The storage mechanism is connected to the fan 2, and the airflow from the fan 2 enters the storage mechanism. A fixing plate 3 is mounted on the gantry frame 1 and fixed to it. A pressing mechanism is mounted on the fixing plate 3, and a reduction motor 4 is mounted at one end of the pressing mechanism. The reduction motor 4 drives a portion of the pressing mechanism to rotate, while the other portion performs a reciprocating up-and-down motion. The reduction motor 4 is fixed to the gantry frame 1. On the inner wall of the gantry 1, a first bearing 5 is provided at the other end of the pressing mechanism. The first bearing 5 is fixed on the inner wall of the gantry 1. A part of the pressing mechanism rotates in the first bearing 5. A toggle mechanism is also provided on the inner wall of the gantry 1. A part of the pressing mechanism drives the toggle mechanism to rotate. The toggle mechanism is movably connected to the storage mechanism and the pressing mechanism respectively. The toggle mechanism drives the storage mechanism to rotate intermittently. During the period when the storage mechanism stops rotating intermittently, a part of the pressing mechanism presses the storage mechanism and presses the vegetables in the storage mechanism to squeeze out the water.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 4-6 The storage mechanism includes a hexagonal cylinder 6, with several pressing chambers 7 evenly distributed along the circumference inside the hexagonal cylinder 6. Each side of the hexagonal cylinder 6 has one pressing chamber 7. Vegetables are placed inside the pressing chambers 7. An opening 8 is provided at the top of each pressing chamber 7, and a pressing element is installed on the opening 8. The pressing element elastically expands and contracts on the opening 8. A top plate 9 is provided inside the pressing chamber 7, with vegetables positioned between the pressing element and the top plate 9. An elastic element is provided at the bottom of the pressing chamber 7, with one end penetrating through the bottom of the pressing chamber 7 and connecting to the top plate 9. The top plate 9 causes the elastic element to expand and contract elastically. An air cylinder 10 is located at the center of the inner side of the hexagonal cylinder 6, and its outer side is connected to the elastic element. Rotation of the air cylinder 10 causes the hexagonal cylinder 6 to rotate via the elastic element. The right side of the pressing chamber 7 is a closed structure, and the left side is an open structure. A sealing door 11 is hinged to the left side of the pressing chamber 7. When the sealing door 11 is opened, vegetables are fed in from the left side of the pressing chamber 7. The sealing door 11 is equipped with a locking ring 12, and the hexagonal chamber 6 is equipped with a spring pin 13. The spring pin 13 and the locking ring 12 are locked together. When the sealing door 11 is closed, press the button on the spring pin 13 to insert the pin of the spring pin 13 into the locking ring 12, thereby locking the sealing door 11. The hexagonal chamber 6 is equipped with rotating shafts 14 on both sides. The rotating shafts 14 are equipped with second bearings 15, which are fixed on the gantry frame 1. The rotating shafts 14 rotate on the second bearings 15, and the rotation of the rotating shafts 14 drives the hexagonal chamber 6 to rotate. The rotating shaft 14 on the right side is a hollow structure and is connected to the air cylinder 10. The second bearing 15 on the right side is connected to the fan 2. The airflow from the fan 2 enters the second bearing 15, then enters the rotating shaft 14, and then enters the air cylinder 10.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 7-9The pressing component includes a limiting rod 16 disposed on the opening 8, a pressing plate 17 movably disposed on the limiting rod 16, the limiting rod 16 passing through the pressing plate 17, and a first spring 18 disposed on the outside of the limiting rod 16. One end of the first spring 18 is connected to the opening 8 and the other end is connected to the pressing plate 17. The limiting rod 16 limits the pressing plate 17, and the up-and-down reciprocating movement of the pressing plate 17 drives the first spring 18 to stretch or compress.

[0030] The elastic element includes a sleeve 19, one end of which is connected to the pressing chamber 7 and the other end to the air cylinder 10. The pressing chamber 7 and the air cylinder 10 are connected through the sleeve 19. A top rod 20 is provided inside the sleeve 19. One end of the top rod 20 passes through the bottom of the pressing chamber 7 and is connected to the top plate 9, and the other end passes through the air cylinder 10. A circular plate 21 is provided on the top rod 20. A second spring 22 is provided on the outside of the top rod 20. One end of the second spring 22 is connected to the circular plate 21 and the other end is connected to the air cylinder 10. When vegetables are put into the pressing chamber 7, as more and more vegetables are put in, the vegetables push the pressing plate 17 and the top plate 9 to both sides. The top plate 9 is pushed and drives the top rod 20 to move. The top rod 9 drives the circular plate 21 to move, so that the second spring 22 between the circular plate 21 and the air cylinder 10 is compressed or stretched.

[0031] Several air holes 23 are provided on the bottom of the pressing plate 17, the top plate 9, the pressing chamber 7, and the air cylinder 10. The airflow generated by the blower 2 enters the air cylinder 10 and enters the pressing chamber 7 through the air holes 23 on the air cylinder 10 and the pressing chamber 7. The air is sprayed onto the vegetables in the pressing chamber 7 through the air holes 23 on the top plate 9, and the water vapor is discharged out of the hexagonal chamber 6 through the air holes 23 on the pressing plate 17.

[0032] The pressing mechanism includes a worm gear 24 mounted on a fixed plate 3, a worm 25 mounted on the worm gear 24, a drive gear 26 mounted on the worm 25, one end of the worm 25 being connected to a reduction motor 4, and the other end being mounted on a first bearing 5. The reduction motor 4 drives the worm 25 to rotate slowly within the first bearing 5, and the worm 25 drives the worm gear 24 to rotate. A first short rod 27 is mounted on the worm gear 24, and the first short rod 27 rotates with the rotation of the worm gear 24. A connecting rod 28 is rotatably connected to the first short rod 27.

[0033] It also includes a fixing block 29 set on the fixing plate 3. The fixing block 29 has a hollow structure and a sliding groove 30. A second short rod 31 is slidably set in the sliding groove 30. The connecting rod 28 is rotatably connected to the second short rod 31. When the first short rod 27 rotates with the worm gear 24, the connecting rod 28 rotates on the first short rod 27, and the other end of the connecting rod 28 rotates on the second short rod 31, which in turn drives the second short rod 31 to move up and down in the sliding groove 30. A plate 32 is set in the fixing block 29 and is connected to the second short rod 31. A pressing block 33 is set on the plate 32. The second short rod 31 drives the plate 32 in the fixing block 29, and the plate 32 drives the pressing block 33 to move up and down. The connecting rod 28 is rotatably connected to the first short rod 27 and the second short rod 31.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 10 and 11 The actuating component includes a third bearing 37 fixed on the gantry frame 1, a short shaft 38 mounted on the third bearing 37, a hollow wheel 39 mounted on the short shaft 38, an arc-shaped plate 40 mounted on the hollow wheel 39, and a lever shaft 41 mounted on the arc-shaped plate 40. A driven gear 42 is also mounted on one side of the hollow wheel 39. The driven gear 42 meshes with the driving gear 26. The driving gear 26 drives the driven gear 42 to rotate. The driven gear 42 drives the hollow wheel 39 and the short shaft 38 to rotate on the third bearing 37. The hollow wheel 39 drives the arc-shaped plate 40 and the lever shaft 41 on the arc-shaped plate 40 to rotate.

[0035] The actuating mechanism includes an actuating wheel 34 mounted on a rotating shaft 14. The actuating wheel 34 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 35 and a U-shaped groove 36, which are arranged alternately. When the hollow wheel 39 drives the arc plate 40 and the actuating shaft 41 to rotate, the actuating shaft 41 enters the U-shaped groove 36 and actuates the U-shaped groove 36, causing the actuating wheel 34 to rotate. The hollow wheel 39 is designed so that the actuating shaft 41 actuates the U-shaped groove 36, and the U-shaped groove 36 is not affected inside the hollow wheel 39. When the side of the hollow wheel 39 opposite to the actuating shaft 41 rotates in the arc-shaped groove 35, it cannot actuate the arc-shaped groove 35. At this time, the actuating wheel 34 does not rotate in this intermittent state, so as to realize the intermittent rotation of the hexagonal bin 6.

[0036] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Press the button on the upper part of the spring pin 13 to make the pin end of the spring pin 13 pop out from the locking ring 12, then open the sealing door 11, put vegetables into each pressing chamber 7, as more and more vegetables are put in, the pressing plate 17 and the top plate 9 located on both sides of the vegetables are supported and move to both sides, the pressing plate 17 moves on the limiting rod 16, the first spring 18 is compressed, the top plate 9 drives the top rod 20 and the round plate 21 to move in the sleeve 19, the second spring 22 is compressed, and then the sealing door 11 is closed and locked by the spring pin 13 and the locking ring 12.

[0037] A pneumatic geared motor 4 drives a worm gear 25 to rotate slowly. The worm gear 25 drives a worm wheel 24 to rotate. The first short rod 27 on the worm wheel 24 rotates synchronously with the worm wheel 24. A connecting rod 28 rotates on the first short rod 27 and the second short rod 31, and one end of the connecting rod 28 rotates with the rotation of the worm wheel 24. The connecting rod 28 drives the second short rod 31 to move up and down in the slide groove 20. The second short rod 31 drives the plate 32 in the fixed block 29. The plate 32 drives the pressing block 33 to move up and down.

[0038] Synchronously, the worm gear 25 drives the drive gear 26 to rotate, the drive gear 26 drives the driven gear 42 to rotate, the driven gear 42 drives the hollow wheel 39, the hollow wheel 39 drives the short shaft 38 to rotate in the third bearing 37, the hollow wheel 39 drives the arc plate 40 and the dial shaft 41 to rotate, the dial shaft 41 enters the U-shaped groove 36 to turn the U-shaped groove 36, the U-shaped groove 36 drives the dial wheel 34 to rotate, the dial wheel 34 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate in the second bearing 15, and the rotating shaft 14 drives the hexagonal bin 6 to rotate;

[0039] Simultaneously, the airflow generated by the pneumatic blower 2 enters the rotating shaft 14 through the second bearing 15, and then enters the air cylinder 10. The airflow in the air cylinder 10 enters the pressing chamber 7 through the air holes 23 on the air cylinder 10 and the pressing chamber 7, and then blows the vegetables located between the top plate 9 and the pressing plate 17 through the air holes 23 on the top plate 9. When the surface of the hollow wheel 39 opposite to the deflector shaft 41 enters the arc groove 35, the hollow wheel 39 cannot rotate and cannot move the arc groove 35, and therefore cannot move the deflector wheel 34 and the hexagonal chamber 6. During this pause, one side of the upper part of the hexagonal chamber 6 faces upward, correspondingly making the pressing plate 17 on the pressing chamber 7 face upward. During this period, the pressing block 33 moves down to press the pressing plate 17. The pressing plate 17 moves towards the top plate 9 on the limit rod 16, and the first spring 18 is stretched, so that the vegetables are squeezed out of the water by the top plate 9 and the pressing plate 17. It is worth noting that the pressing force of the pressing plate 17 is always less than the elastic force of the second spring 22, ensuring that when the pressing plate 17 is pressed, the top plate 9 will not move in the same direction with the pressing plate 17, thus avoiding failure to compress the vegetables. The airflow generated by the fan 2 sprays the water on the surface of the vegetables and the water squeezed out of the vegetables together, and blows it out of the hexagonal bin 6 through the air holes 23 on the pressing plate 17, thus dehydrating the vegetables. Then the pressing block 33 returns to its original position and disengages from the pressing plate 17. The pressing plate 17 rebounds and pulls back under the action of the first spring 18. The vegetables become smaller in volume after dehydration. Under the elastic force of the second spring 22, the top plate 9 moves towards the pressing plate 17, compressing the space freed up by the reduced volume of the vegetables after dehydration. This makes it easier for the pressing plate 17 and the top plate 9 to be closer when the pressing block 33 presses the pressing plate 17 next time, thus squeezing the vegetables more tightly and making the dehydration effect of the vegetables better.

[0040] As the dial 41 moves the next U-shaped groove 36 again, the dial wheel 34 and the hexagonal cylinder 6 rotate again, and the pressing chamber 7 switches to the next one. This ensures that the pressing of vegetables is evenly distributed to each pressing chamber 6, and the pressing of vegetables is uniform. It avoids the accumulation of vegetables, which would prevent the inner layer of vegetables from being pressed enough and thus have a poor dehydration effect. In addition, the intermittent pressing of vegetables in each pressing chamber 7 ensures that the vegetables in other pressing chambers 7 that are not pressed have enough time to be blown out of the water by the fan 2, and avoids excessive water accumulation.

[0041] This invention is simple to operate, convenient to use, and suitable for widespread promotion and application. Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
