Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of vegetable processing, and more specifically, to a dehydration and drying assembly for processing dehydrated vegetables. Background Technology

[0002] Dehydrated vegetables, also known as rehydrated vegetables, are dried vegetables made by washing, drying and other processing of fresh vegetables to remove most of the water. The original color and nutritional components of the vegetables are basically preserved. They are easy to store and transport, and can effectively regulate the peak and off-peak seasons of vegetable production. When eating, they can be rehydrated by soaking them in clean water, and retain the original color, nutrition and flavor of the vegetables.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN112790409B describes a device where the rotation of the feed shaft drives the rotation of a helical gear in a rotating mechanism, which in turn drives the fan to rotate. This allows hot air above the fan to be transported downwards for drying, improving internal airflow and thus increasing drying efficiency. However, this device has some shortcomings in practical use. We know that depending on the type and size of the vegetables, different drying times are required. However, the aforementioned device can only perform dehydration and drying on one type of vegetable and cannot simultaneously perform different drying times for different types and sizes of vegetables. Therefore, this paper proposes a dehydration and drying component for processing dehydrated vegetables that can solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention proposes a dehydration and drying component for processing dehydrated vegetables.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A dehydration and drying assembly for processing dehydrated vegetables includes a base plate, a main housing fixedly connected to the base plate, a plurality of placement plates for placing vegetables arranged inside the main housing, a supporting side plate fixedly connected to the upper end of each of the placement plates, a height adjustment unit for adjusting the height of the placement plates arranged on the base plate, a dehydrator arranged inside the main housing, and a plurality of symmetrically arranged dehydration pipes fixedly connected to the lower end of the dehydrator via connecting hoses, the dehydration pipes having arrayed dehydration holes.

[0007] The upper end of the base plate is fixedly connected to a first connecting plate via a first connecting rod, and the upper end of the first connecting plate is fixedly connected to a second connecting plate via a second connecting rod. The dehydrator is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate.

[0008] The placement plate has multiple through holes corresponding to the multiple dehydration rods. The lower end of the placement plate is fixedly connected to multiple outer sleeves corresponding to the multiple through holes. The outer sleeves can be sleeved on the outside of the dehydration rods and pass through the first connecting plate.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the height adjustment unit includes a height adjustment motor fixedly connected to the base plate, a reciprocating lead screw fixedly connected to the output end of the height adjustment motor, a third connecting plate fixedly connected to the base plate, the end of the reciprocating lead screw rotatably connected to the third connecting plate, a reciprocating slider sleeved on the outer side of the reciprocating lead screw, a first rotating tooth provided on the side of the reciprocating slider, a threaded rod passing through the middle of each of the plurality of placement plates, a rotating knob threadedly connected to the outer side of each of the plurality of threaded rods, a rotating protrusion distributed in a circumferential array fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating knob, the rotating knob engaging with the placement plate, the lower ends of each of the plurality of threaded rods rotatably connected to the base plate, a rotating gear fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the plurality of threaded rods, the size of the plurality of rotating gears increasing proportionally, and a second rotating tooth meshing with the first rotating tooth provided on the outer side of each of the plurality of rotating gears.

[0010] The first rotating tooth is rotatably connected to the fourth connecting plate via the first rotating shaft, and the fourth connecting plate is fixedly connected to the reciprocating slider. A first torsion spring is sleeved on the outer side of the first rotating shaft.

[0011] The base plate has a plurality of first grooves corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of rotating gears. A limit block is provided in the first groove. The limit block is connected to the first groove by a first spring for providing elastic force. An inclined surface is provided on one side of the limit block.

[0012] The main body is equipped with a door, an observation panel, and a handle. An array of ventilation holes are provided at the top of the main body.

[0013] The second connecting rod and the placement plate are equipped with a shaking unit, and the rotating knob and the placement plate are connected by a connecting unit.

[0014] The shaking unit includes a plurality of third connecting rods fixedly connected to the side of the second connecting rod, each corresponding to one of the plurality of placement plates. A fifth connecting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the placement plate. The fifth connecting plate is rotatably connected to a shaking rod via a second rotating shaft. A second torsion spring is provided on the outer side of the second rotating shaft.

[0015] The connecting unit includes a second groove in the placement plate, a sixth connecting plate fixedly connected in the second groove, an annular snap-fit ​​groove in the sixth connecting plate, an annular snap-fit ​​protrusion snapped in the annular snap-fit ​​groove, a connecting ring in the second groove, and the connecting ring and the annular snap-fit ​​protrusion connected by multiple second springs for providing elasticity.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: vegetables are dehydrated through dehydration holes on the dehydration tube, and the height of the placement plate is adjusted by the height adjustment unit. Different placement plates are raised to different heights, which can adjust the length of the dehydration tube extending out of the outer sleeve. When the outer sleeve completely covers the dehydration tube, the vegetables on the placement plate are dehydrated. Because the time the dehydration tube is covered by the outer sleeve is different, the dehydration time is different for different vegetables, which can meet the needs of dehydrating different kinds of vegetables.

[0027] The subject matter described herein will now be discussed with reference to exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are discussed only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the subject matter described herein, and changes may be made to the function and arrangement of the elements discussed without departing from the scope of this specification. Various processes or components may be omitted, substituted, or added as needed in the examples. Furthermore, some features described in the examples may be combined in other examples.

[0028] At least one embodiment of the present invention discloses a dehydration and drying assembly for processing dehydrated vegetables, such as... Figures 1-9 As shown, the device includes: a base plate 101, a main box 102 fixedly connected to the base plate 101, a plurality of placement plates 103 for placing vegetables inside the main box 102, a supporting side plate 104 fixedly connected to the upper end of each of the placement plates 103, a height adjustment unit for adjusting the height of the placement plates 103 on the base plate 101, a dehydrator 105 inside the main box 102, a plurality of symmetrically arranged dehydration pipes 107 fixedly connected to the lower end of the dehydrator 105 through a connecting hose 106, and an array of dehydration holes 108 opened on the dehydration pipes 107.

[0029] The upper end of the base plate 101 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 110 via the first connecting rod 109. The upper end of the first connecting plate 110 is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate 112 via the second connecting rod 111. The dehydrator 105 is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate 112.

[0030] The placement plate 103 has a plurality of through holes 113 corresponding to the plurality of dehydration rods. The lower end of the placement plate 103 is fixedly connected to a plurality of outer sleeves 114 corresponding to the plurality of through holes 113. The outer sleeves 114 can be sleeved on the outside of the dehydration rods and pass through the first connecting plate 110.

[0031] In actual use, the vegetables to be dehydrated are placed on the placement plate 103, and the dehydrator 105 is started. The vegetables are dehydrated through the dehydration holes 108 on the dehydration tube 107. The height of the placement plate 103 is adjusted by the height adjustment unit. Different placement plates 103 are raised to different heights, which can adjust the length of the dehydration tube 107 extending out of the outer sleeve 114. When the outer sleeve 114 completely covers the dehydration tube 107, the vegetables on the placement plate 103 are dehydrated. Because the time the dehydration tube 107 is covered by the outer sleeve 114 is different, the dehydration time is different for different vegetables, which can meet the needs of dehydrating different kinds of vegetables.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the height adjustment unit includes a height adjustment motor 215 fixedly connected to the base plate 101. A reciprocating lead screw 216 is fixedly connected to the output end of the height adjustment motor 215. A third connecting plate 217 is fixedly connected to the base plate 101. The end of the reciprocating lead screw 216 is rotatably connected to the third connecting plate 217. A reciprocating slider 218 is sleeved on the outer side of the reciprocating lead screw 216. A first rotating tooth 219 is provided on the side of the reciprocating slider 218. A threaded rod 220 passes through the middle of each of the plurality of placement plates 103. Each of the threaded rods 220 has a rotating knob 221 threadedly connected to its outer side. The rotating knob 221 has a rotating protrusion 222 arranged in a circular array fixedly connected to its outer side. The rotating knob 221 is snapped into the placement plate 103. The lower ends of the multiple threaded rods 220 are rotatably connected to the base plate 101. Each of the multiple threaded rods 220 has a rotating gear 223 fixedly connected to its outer side. The size of the multiple rotating gears 223 increases proportionally. Each of the multiple rotating gears 223 has a second rotating tooth 224 that meshes with the first rotating tooth 219 on its outer side.

[0033] The first rotating tooth 219 is rotatably connected to the fourth connecting plate 226 via the first rotating shaft 225. The fourth connecting plate 226 is fixedly connected to the reciprocating slider 218. A first torsion spring 227 is sleeved on the outer side of the first rotating shaft 225.

[0034] The base plate 101 has a plurality of first grooves 228 corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of rotating gears 223. A limit block 229 is provided in the first groove 228. The limit block 229 is connected to the first groove 228 by a first spring 230 for providing elastic force. An inclined surface 231 is provided on one side of the limit block 229.

[0035] The main housing 102 is provided with a door 132, an observation panel 133 is provided on the door 132, a handle 134 is fixedly connected to the door 132, and an array of ventilation holes 135 are provided at the upper end of the main housing 102.

[0036] In actual use, the height adjustment unit described above rotates, causing the reciprocating lead screw 216 to rotate, which in turn drives the reciprocating slider 218 to move back and forth. The movement of the reciprocating slider 218 causes the first rotating tooth 219 on it to move back and forth. When the first rotating tooth 219 contacts the second rotating tooth 224, it drives the rotating gear 223 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded rod 220 to rotate. Specifically, when the first rotating tooth 219 moves toward the side of the limiting block 229 with the inclined surface 231, it presses down on the limiting block 229, allowing the first rotating tooth 219 to contact the second rotating tooth 224 and drive it to rotate. Because the sizes of the multiple rotating gears 223 are proportional, the multiple rotating gears 223... The number of rotations of the threaded rod 220 is proportional to the number of rotations of the threaded rod 220. The rotation of the threaded rod 220 drives the height adjustment of the placement plate 103 in a proportional manner, which can meet the needs of different dehydration operations for different vegetables. When the first rotating tooth 219 moves to the side of the limit block 229 without the inclined surface 231, the first rotating tooth 219 rotates around the first rotating shaft 225 and does not contact the second rotating tooth 224. Therefore, the rotating gear 223 can only rotate in one direction, driving the placement plate 103 to adjust its height upward. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the placement plate 103 downward, the rotating knob 221 is rotated by rotating the protrusion 222, which drives the placement plate 103 to move downward.

[0037] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the second connecting rod 111 and the placement plate 103 are provided with a shaking unit, and the rotating knob 221 and the placement plate 103 are connected by a connecting unit.

[0038] The shaking unit includes a plurality of third connecting rods 336 fixedly connected to the side of the second connecting rod 111, which correspond one-to-one with the plurality of placement plates 103. A fifth connecting plate 337 is fixedly connected to the side of the placement plate 103. The fifth connecting plate 337 is rotatably connected to a shaking rod 339 through a second rotating shaft 338. A second torsion spring is provided on the outer side of the second rotating shaft 338.

[0039] The connecting unit includes a second groove 440 opened in the placement plate 103, a sixth connecting plate 441 fixedly connected in the second groove 440, an annular snap-fit ​​groove 442 opened on the sixth connecting plate 441, an annular snap-fit ​​protrusion 443 snapped in the annular snap-fit ​​groove 442, a connecting ring 444 provided in the second groove 440, and the connecting ring 444 and the annular snap-fit ​​protrusion 443 are connected by a plurality of second springs 445 for providing elastic force.

[0040] When the shaking unit is actually used, when the placement plate 103 moves upward, the fifth connecting plate 337 moves upward and contacts the shaking rod 339, causing the shaking rod 339 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 338. After the fifth connecting plate 337 disengages from the shaking rod 339, the placement plate 103 shakes under the elastic force of the second spring 445, causing the vegetables on the placement plate 103 to shake, which facilitates more efficient dehydration. The number of shaking rods 339 can be set to multiple.

[0041] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the embodiments are not limited to the specific implementation methods described above. The specific implementation methods described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make more equivalent embodiments under the guidance of the present embodiments, and all of them are within the protection scope of the present embodiments.
