Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a flavoring drying and processing device and process for peony nut food. Background Art

[0002] Peony nut food is an innovative health food that cleverly combines traditional nuts with peony elements to create a unique product that is both delicious and nutritious. Peony nut food not only retains the nutritional components of the nuts themselves, such as protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, etc., but also incorporates beneficial ingredients such as linoleic acid in peony seed oil. Linoleic acid is a fatty acid that is very beneficial to human health and contributes to cardiovascular health and brain development. In addition, the fragrance of peony petals and the natural aroma of nuts complement each other, making the product taste richer and more layered.

[0003] In order to make the peony nut food achieve the best taste and nutrition retention, the nuts are generally soaked in a special flavoring liquid, which is prepared from peony seed oil, peony petal extract and other natural spices. The nuts after flavoring need to be dried to remove excess moisture and maintain their crisp taste while maintaining their natural color and aroma. For example, a nut food flavoring and drying device with publication number CN102342549B relates to the field of food processing technology. The prior art includes a nut feeding port, a dryer and a soaking and flavoring pool arranged in sequence, a conveyor belt is arranged between the nut feeding port and the dryer, a conveying device is arranged inside the dryer, a conveyor belt is arranged between the dryer outlet and the soaking and flavoring pool, and a speed regulating motor, a motor speed regulator, a hot air furnace motor, a soaking conveying motor, a flavoring pool motor, and a power control box are provided to drive the above-mentioned devices.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned prior art still has some defects when drying nuts:

[0005] 1. During the drying process, the natural oil produced by nuts not only has a unique fragrance and increases color, but also significantly improves the taste of nuts. However, the above-mentioned prior art process directly sends the nuts into the soaking tank, causing the oil to be washed away, thereby causing the nuts to lose their original golden or brown color, and weakening the fragrance and taste, thereby reducing the quality of the product.

[0006] 2. The oil produced by nuts during the drying process will enter the water in the soaking tank. These oils not only affect the aroma balance of the water, but may also react adversely with other seasoning ingredients in the water, resulting in uneven flavoring of the nuts or impure taste. In addition, long-term soaking of oils is prone to oxidation and odor, further reducing the quality and service life of the water.

[0007] 3. As the nuts are turned and moved many times during the drying process, their shells become crispy under the action of hot air, releasing a large amount of debris. These debris are pressed into the water as the nuts are pressed by the presser, causing significant pollution to the water. The debris soaked in the water will release impurities and bad flavors, affecting the purity and aroma of the water.

[0008] Based on this, and in accordance with the above-mentioned viewpoints, there is still room for improvement in the existing technology for drying nuts for flavoring. Summary of the invention

[0044] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 12 This application is described in further detail.

[0045] The embodiment of the present application discloses a flavoring and drying processing device and process for peony nut food. By creating a complex flow path of hot air in a turbulent area, the contact area and time between the hot air and the nuts are greatly increased, so that the nuts are heated more evenly, the drying effect is improved, and it is ensured that the peony nut food can be fully and evenly heated during the drying process, avoiding local overheating or insufficient heating, and finally achieving more ideal flavoring and drying processing.

[0046] Embodiment 1:

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a flavoring and drying processing device for peony nut food includes a support cylinder 1, an upper end of the support cylinder 1 is provided with an air inlet frame 11 for guiding hot air into the support cylinder 1, and a lower end of the support cylinder 1 is provided with an exhaust frame 12 for guiding hot air out of the support cylinder 1.

[0048] When drying nuts, first flip the hinged opening and closing plate 21 on the support tube 1 to open the feed port 2 opened on one side of the support tube 1, then put the nuts into the support tube 1, and then close the opening and closing plate 21 to block the feed port 2 to prevent the nuts from falling out during the drying process.

[0049] Then, air is supplied to the air inlet frame 11 through the existing hot air equipment, and the air inlet frame 11 will supply the hot air into the support tube 1 through the connection with the inside of the support tube 1. After the hot air contacts the nuts in the support tube 1, it is discharged through the exhaust frame 12 connected with the inside of the support tube 1. The moisture and waste gas generated in the drying process are discharged out of the equipment through the exhaust frame 12, thereby ensuring the dryness and ventilation of the drying environment in the support tube 1.

[0050] At the same time, the driving member 5 arranged on the supporting tube 1 drives the dryer 3 arranged in the supporting tube 1 to start. The dryer 3 is used to turn the nuts. The nuts are dried by allowing the hot air to flow fully between the nuts so that the nuts are heated evenly. At the same time, the dryer 3 can also discharge the debris generated during the turning process of the nuts.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the dryer 3 includes a support plate 31 rotatably arranged in one side of the opening of the support cylinder 1, and a rotating ring 4 connected to the support plate 31 is rotatably arranged in the support cylinder 1.

[0052] When drying nuts, first flip the opening and closing plate 21 to open the feed port 2 in the rotating ring 4, then put the nuts into the rotating ring 4, and then close the opening and closing plate 21 to block the feed port 2 to prevent the nuts from falling out of the rotating ring 4 during the drying process.

[0053] Afterwards, air is supplied to the air inlet frame 11 through the existing hot air equipment, and the air inlet frame 11 will supply the hot air into the drying chamber 32 formed between the rotating ring 4 and the supporting tube 1 through the connection with the drying chamber 32. The hot air in the drying chamber 32 will pass through a plurality of air inlet and chip removal holes 33 opened circumferentially on the rotating ring 4 and enter the rotating ring 4, so that the hot air contacts the nuts, and then returns to the drying chamber 32 through the air inlet and chip removal holes 33. Subsequently, the exhaust frame 12 discharges the hot air from the drying chamber 32 through the connection with the drying chamber 32.

[0054] Then the driving member 5 is started, and the driving member 5 drives the supporting disk 31 to rotate by connecting with the supporting disk 31. The rotating driving disk will be connected with the rotating ring 4 to drive it to rotate in the supporting tube 1. The rotating ring 4 causes the nuts to continuously move in the rotating ring 4 to turn the nuts over. The rotation of the rotating ring 4 disturbs the hot air in the drying chamber 32, and the hot air flows between the rotating ring 4 and the drying chamber 32 through the air inlet and chip removal holes 33, so that the nuts are continuously turned in the hot air, are evenly heated, and have high drying efficiency, thereby avoiding adhesion or accumulation of nuts.

[0055] Nuts will also produce oil during the drying process. These oils are natural oils that seep out of cracks and other parts of the nuts produced under high temperature. These oils are not only rich in the natural aroma of nuts, but also can increase the color and taste of the nuts. As the nuts continue to move in the rotating ring 4, the nuts will contact and rub against each other, and the oil on the surface of the nuts will be smeared on each other during the contact and friction between the nuts. This mutual smearing method can make the oil evenly distributed on the surface of each nut, making the color and taste of the nuts more consistent.

[0056] At the same time, the nuts gradually become crispy under the effect of drying. When the rotating ring 4 turns the nuts, the nuts will constantly collide and rub against each other, generating a large amount of debris. These debris will pass through the air inlet and chip removal holes 33 into the drying chamber 32 during the rotation of the rotating ring 4, and then be discharged from the exhaust frame 12 with the hot air, avoiding the debris from mixing with the nuts in the rotating ring 4, which would affect the appearance and taste of the nuts, thereby improving the cleanliness and quality of the nuts.

[0057] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, at the same time, the rotating ring 4 will drive a number of partition scrapers 34 circumferentially arranged thereon, one end of the partition scraper 34 contacts the inner wall of the support tube 1, and the drying chamber 32 is separated by two adjacent partition scrapers 34 to form a disturbed flow zone 39. During the rotation of the ring 4, if the disturbed flow zone 39 is rotated in the drying chamber 32, the disturbed flow zone 39 will be aligned with the air inlet frame 11 and the exhaust frame 12 in turn.

[0058] The hot air entering from the air inlet frame 11 will first enter the turbulence zone 39 aligned with it, and then enter the rotating ring 4 from the air inlet and chip removal holes 33 in the turbulence zone 39, so that the hot air can evenly contact the constantly turning nuts for drying; after contacting the nuts, the hot air in the rotating ring 4 will enter the turbulence zone 39 aligned with the exhaust frame 12 through the air inlet and chip removal holes 33, and then be discharged from the exhaust frame 12.

[0059] By allowing the hot air to form a turbulence effect in the turbulence zone 39, the hot air flow path is made more complex and diversified. The turbulence effect can increase the contact area and contact time between the hot air and the nuts, so that the nuts are heated more evenly and the drying effect is better. At the same time, one end of the partition scraper 34 is in contact with the inner wall of the support tube 1. During the rotation of the partition scraper 34, the scraped debris will be pushed to move along the inner wall of the support tube 1, which can effectively scrape off the nut debris remaining in the drying chamber 32 and finally discharge it from the exhaust frame 12.

[0060] Among them, brackets 35 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the air inlet frame 11 and the air exhaust frame 12, and the brackets 35 are located on both sides of the support tube 1. A rotating cylinder 36 is commonly penetrated between the two brackets 35, the support tube 1 and the support plate 31.

[0061] When the driving member 5 drives the support disk 31 to rotate through the support disk 31, the driving member 5 will also drive the rotating drum 36 coaxial with the support cylinder 1 to rotate oppositely relative to the rotating ring 4. A part of the hot air entering the rotating drum 36 will be discharged through the turbulence area 39 aligned with the exhaust frame 12, and the other part will pass through a plurality of air inlet holes 37 circumferentially opened on the rotating drum 36, and enter the interior of the rotating drum 36, and then be discharged from the exhaust holes 38 opened on the rotating drum 36 and located outside the support cylinder 1.

[0062] During this process, the rotating drum 36 will drive the air inlet hole 37 to rotate, causing the position of the air inlet hole 37 in the rotating ring 4 to continuously change. The relative rotation of the rotating drum 36 and the rotation of the air inlet hole 37 make the flow path of the hot air in the rotating ring 4 more diversified, thereby enhancing the turbulence effect of the hot air and further enhancing the drying effect.

[0063] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the driving member 5 includes a driven gear 51 arranged on the drum 36 and located on one side of the support disk 31 , a gear ring 52 is arranged on the support disk 31 , and a driving motor 53 is arranged on the bracket 35 on one side of the support disk 31 .

[0064] While supplying air to the air inlet frame 11 through the existing hot air equipment, the drive motor 53 is started, and the drive motor 53 will drive its drive end to rotate. The drive gear 54 arranged after the drive end of the drive motor 53 passes through the bracket 35 will be driven together, and the rotating drive gear 54 will drive the driven gear 51 and the ring gear 52 to rotate in the opposite direction by meshing with the driven gear 51 and the ring gear 52, and the rotating driven gear 51 will drive the rotating drum 36 to rotate, and the ring gear 52 will drive the supporting plate 31 to rotate, so that the supporting plate 31 drives the rotating ring 4 to rotate, so that the rotating drum 36 rotates opposite to the rotating ring 4.

[0065] Embodiment 2:

[0066] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, based on the first embodiment, due to the differences in the sizes of nuts, if the air intake and chip removal holes 33 are too large, the nuts will fall into the drying chamber 32, and if the air intake and chip removal holes 33 are too small, it will be unfavorable for the circulation of hot air.

[0067] The rotating ring 4 includes an outer ring 41 rotatably disposed in the supporting tube 1 and connected to the supporting plate 31 . A plurality of outer holes 42 are circumferentially formed on the outer ring 41 .

[0068] When drying nuts, first rotate the adjusting screw 45 passed through the inner ring 43. The adjusting screw 45 moves away from the outer ring 41 by cooperating with the thread of the inner ring 43, so that one end of the adjusting screw 45 no longer conflicts with the outer ring 41. Then rotate the inner ring 43 to rotate relative to the outer ring 41. The rotating inner ring 43 will drive the inner hole 44 opened thereon, and the inner hole 44 corresponds to the plurality of outer holes 42 opened circumferentially on the outer ring 41 one by one.

[0069] When larger nuts are to be dried, the inner ring 43 is first rotated so that the inner hole 44 on the inner ring 43 and the outer hole 42 on the outer ring 41 overlap with each other, and the inner hole 44 and the outer hole 42 are interconnected to form a larger air intake and chip removal hole 33. Conversely, when smaller nuts are to be dried, the inner ring 43 is rotated so that the inner hole 44 on the inner ring 43 and the outer hole 42 on the outer ring 41 are intertwined, and the inner hole 44 and the outer hole 42 are interconnected to form a smaller air intake and chip removal hole 33.

[0070] The inner hole 44 and the outer hole 42 are overlapped or interlaced by rotating the inner ring 43 to change the size of the interlaced area between the inner hole 44 and the outer hole 42, thereby adapting to nuts of different sizes. After the adjustment is completed, the adjusting screw 45 is rotated, and the adjusting screw 45 is close to the outer ring 41 by cooperating with the thread of the inner ring 43, so that one end of the adjusting screw 45 locks the inner ring 43 on the outer ring 41 by contacting with the outer ring 41.

[0071] When drying nuts, flip the opening and closing plate 21 to open the feed port 2 located in the rotating ring 4, then put the nuts into the inner ring 43 rotatably arranged in the outer ring 41, and then close the opening and closing plate 21 to block the feed port 2 to prevent the nuts from falling out of the inner ring 43 during the drying process.

[0072] When the driving member 5 drives the supporting plate 31 to rotate, the rotating supporting plate 31 will drive the outer ring 41 to rotate together. Since the adjusting screw 45 locks the inner ring 43 on the outer ring 41, the rotating outer ring 41 will drive the inner ring 43 to rotate together through the resistance of the adjusting screw 45, so that the nuts are constantly turned in the hot air for drying.

[0073] The rotation of the inner ring 43 will drive a number of scooping plates 46 circumferentially arranged inside the inner ring 43. The scooping plates 46 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the inner wall of the inner ring 43. The scooping plates 46 will hold the nuts inside the inner ring 43 as the inner ring 43 rotates. As the inner ring 43 rotates, the nuts on the scooping plates 46 will fall onto the inner ring 43, and then be held and scooped up by the scooping plates 46 again, and the cycle continues.

[0074] A bending section 47 is provided on the side of the scooping plate 46 facing the rotation direction of the rotating ring 4. The bending section 47 can increase the contact area between the scooping plate 46 and the nuts, so that the scooping plate 46 can more effectively support the nuts and prevent the nuts from piling up in the inner ring 43. At the same time, the bending section 47 can also guide the hot air to form a certain turbulence effect, making the hot air flow path more complex and diversified, thereby enhancing the contact area and contact time between the hot air and the nuts, making the nuts more evenly heated and having a better drying effect.

[0075] Embodiment three:

[0076] Reference Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, on the basis of the first and second embodiments, a liquid injector 6 is provided on the rotating drum 36, and the liquid injector 6 rotates together with the rotating drum 36, and sprays the flavoring liquid evenly on the surface of the nuts by spraying, and then stirs and turns the nuts to make full contact and absorption.

[0077] Specifically, the injector 6 includes a support shaft 61 rotatably installed on the rotating drum 36, and the support shaft 61 is connected to the bracket 35 and is coaxial with the rotating drum 36. A water inlet hole 62 is opened in the support shaft 61, and a connecting ring cover 64 is rotatably installed on the support shaft 61.

[0078] When the driving member 5 drives the rotating drum 36 to rotate oppositely to the rotating ring 4, the rotating rotating drum 36 will drive the multiple nozzles 66 that are circumferentially arranged on the connecting ring cover 64 and penetrate the rotating drum 36, so that the nozzles 66 drive the multiple connecting ring covers 64 located in the rotating drum 36 to rotate on the supporting shaft 61. During the drying process of the nuts in the rotating ring 4, the moisture in the nuts will be taken away by the hot air. After the moisture in the nuts evaporates and become crispy, the water inlet pipe 63 arranged on the supporting shaft 61 is injected with flavoring liquid, and the water inlet pipe 63 is connected with the water inlet hole 62 to transport the flavoring liquid into the water inlet hole 62.

[0079] The flavoring liquid entering the water inlet hole 62 will pass through the connecting hole 65 located in the connecting ring cover 64 opened on the support shaft 61, thereby entering the connecting ring cover 64, and then entering the nozzle 66 from the connecting ring cover 64, and then be sprayed out from the nozzle 67 set after passing through the rotating drum 36 at one end of the nozzle 66 to spray the flavoring liquid on the nuts.

[0080] The nuts are turned over so that the flavoring liquid is evenly sprayed on the surface of the nuts. The flavoring liquid will be absorbed by the dried nuts to ensure the flavoring effect. Then the nuts are turned over and dried so that the flavoring liquid is fully absorbed by the nuts. After that, the opening and closing plate 21 is opened to discharge the nuts that have been flavored and dried from the feed port 2.

[0081] Finally, the present invention also provides a flavoring drying process for peony nut food, and the use method thereof comprises the following steps:

[0082] S1: When drying nuts, first rotate the adjusting screw 45 provided on the inner ring 43 to release the restriction on the inner ring 43. When the inner ring 43 is rotated, the inner hole 44 and the outer hole 42 overlap or intersect with each other to change the size of the interlaced area between the inner hole 44 and the outer hole 42, so as to adapt to nuts of different sizes. Then, one end of the adjusting screw 45 contacts the outer ring 41 to lock the inner ring 43 on the outer ring 41.

[0083] S2: Then flip the opening and closing plate 21 to open the feed port 2 located in the rotating ring 4, and then put the nuts into the inner ring 43 rotatably set in the outer ring 41, and then close the opening and closing plate 21 to block the feed port 2 to prevent the nuts from falling out of the inner ring 43 during the drying process.

[0084] S3: Then, air is supplied to the air inlet frame 11 through the existing hot air equipment. The air inlet frame 11 will supply hot air into the support tube 1 through the connection with the inside of the support tube 1. After the hot air contacts the nuts in the support tube 1, it is discharged through the exhaust frame 12 connected with the inside of the support tube 1.

[0085] S4: Then start the driving motor 53 to drive the rotating drum 36 to rotate oppositely to the rotating ring 4. The rotating driving disk will be connected with the rotating ring 4 to drive it to rotate in the supporting cylinder 1. The rotating ring 4 causes the nuts to move continuously in the rotating ring 4 to turn the nuts. The rotation of the rotating ring 4 disturbs the hot air in the drying chamber 32, causing the hot air to flow between the rotating ring 4 and the drying chamber 32 through the air inlet and chip removal holes 33, so that the nuts are constantly turned in the hot air, are evenly heated, and have high drying efficiency, thereby avoiding adhesion or accumulation of nuts.

[0086] S5: During the rotation of the rotating ring 4, if the interference flow zone 39 will rotate accordingly in the drying chamber 32, if the interference flow zone 39 will be aligned with the air inlet frame 11 and the exhaust frame 12 in turn, the hot air entering from the air inlet frame 11 will first enter the interference flow zone 39 aligned with it, and then enter the rotating ring 4 from the air inlet and chip removal holes 33 in the interference flow zone 39, so that the hot air can be evenly contacted with the constantly turning nuts for drying; after the hot air in the rotating ring 4 contacts the nuts, it will enter the interference flow zone 39 aligned with the exhaust frame 12 through the air inlet and chip removal holes 33, and then be discharged from the exhaust frame 12. By forming a turbulence effect in the turbulence zone 39, the hot air flow path is made more complex and diversified, and the turbulence effect can increase the contact area and contact time between the hot air and the nuts, so that the nuts are heated more evenly and the drying effect is better.

[0087] S6: The rotation of the inner ring 43 will drive a number of scooping plates 46 circumferentially arranged inside the inner ring 43. The scooping plates 46 are evenly distributed on the circumference of the inner wall of the inner ring 43. The scooping plates 46 will hold the nuts inside the inner ring 43 as the inner ring 43 rotates. As the inner ring 43 rotates, the nuts on the scooping plates 46 will fall onto the inner ring 43, and then be held and scooped up by the scooping plates 46 again, and the cycle continues.

[0088] S7: At the same time, the bending section 47 can also guide the hot air to form a certain turbulence effect, making the hot air flow path more complex and diversified, thereby increasing the contact area and contact time between the hot air and the nuts, making the nuts heated more evenly and achieving a better drying effect.

[0089] S8: The rotating drum 36 drives a plurality of nozzles 66 circumferentially arranged on the connecting ring cover 64 and penetrating the drum 36, so that the nozzles 66 drive a plurality of connecting ring covers 64 located in the drum 36 to rotate on the supporting shaft 61, and the nozzles 67 spray out to spray the flavoring liquid on the nuts.

[0090] S9: The nuts are turned over so that the flavoring liquid is evenly sprayed on the surface of the nuts. The flavoring liquid will be absorbed by the dried nuts to ensure the flavoring effect. Then the nuts are turned over and dried again. After the flavoring liquid is fully absorbed by the nuts, the opening and closing plate 21 is opened to discharge the nuts that have been dried and flavored from the feed port 2.

[0091] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
