Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bamboo shoot processing, and in particular to a bamboo shoot air-drying device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Bamboo shoots are young shoots of bamboo, also known as bamboo shoots. Bamboo is a perennial evergreen plant of the order Poaceae. The edible part is the newly born, tender, plump, short and strong shoots or whips. Bamboo is native to China and has many types, strong adaptability and a wide distribution. Bamboo has been regarded as a "treasure among vegetables" in China since ancient times. The bamboo shoots need to be cleaned during the processing. The surface of the bamboo shoots after cleaning contains a lot of water. If the water is not drained, the bamboo shoots will rot during the storage process.

[0003] The bamboo shoot conveying air-drying devices currently widely used in the market generally have a limitation in design, that is, they can usually only effectively air-dry one side of the bamboo shoots. This one-sided air-drying method not only limits the efficiency of air-drying, but may also cause unevenness in the drying process of the bamboo shoots, affecting the quality and taste of the final product.

[0004] Specifically, since only one side of the bamboo shoots is affected by the wind flow, the other side of the bamboo shoots may still contain more moisture, which not only prolongs the overall drying time, but also increases the risk of bamboo shoots deteriorating or becoming moldy during storage due to uneven moisture distribution. In order to improve air-drying efficiency and ensure product quality, the industry urgently needs to develop a new type of transmission air-drying device that can evenly air-dry multiple surfaces of bamboo shoots at the same time to meet the market's growing demand for high-quality bamboo shoot products. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] See also Figure 1-5 A bamboo shoot air-drying device in this embodiment is used to perform comprehensive air-drying treatment on the bamboo shoots to improve the drying efficiency of the bamboo shoots.

[0035] Specifically, it includes an oblique lifting device 1, a support frame 2, at least two transmission devices 3 and an air-drying mechanism 4; the support frame 2 is arranged on the right side of the oblique lifting device 1, at least two transmission devices 3 are arranged inside the support frame 2, so as to transport the bamboo shoots, and the air-drying mechanism 4 is arranged inside the support frame 2, so as to air-dry the bamboo shoots.

[0036] In the actual practical process, the bamboo shoots are placed in the starting position of the oblique lifting device 1. As the lifting device is started, the bamboo shoots are smoothly lifted to the height of the support frame 2. When the bamboo shoots reach the support frame 2 area, they are received by the transmission device 3 and continue to move forward. The design of the transmission device 3 ensures that the bamboo shoots maintain a stable posture during the movement, which is convenient for the air-drying mechanism 4 to handle. During the transmission process, the air-drying mechanism 4 starts and blows air to the bamboo shoots. Since there are at least two transmission devices 3, the bamboo shoots on the upper transmission device 3 pass through the air-drying mechanism 4, then turn over and fall on the top of the lower transmission device 3, so as to ensure that the bamboo shoots receive uniform air-drying treatment in multiple directions. This can not only improve the air-drying efficiency, but also reduce the problem of uneven moisture caused by unilateral air-drying.

[0037] In detail, the two transmission devices 3 are arranged with an interval between the upper and lower parts, and the transmission device 3 includes two transmission rollers 301 rotatably connected to the inside of the support frame 2, and a rotating motor 302 is arranged on the support frame 2, and the output end is transmission-connected to one of the transmission rollers 301, and the outer sides of the two transmission rollers 301 are transmission-connected to the same transmission belt 303; the lower transmission belt 303 and the upper transmission belt 303 are staggered left and right, and the oblique transmission belt 303 is located below the output end of the upper transmission belt 303, and the rotation directions of the two transmission belts 303 are opposite.

[0038] In addition, the output end of the oblique lifting device 1 is located above the upper conveyor belt 303 .

[0039] In actual practical application, when the rotating motor 302 is started, its output end drives the transmission roller 301 connected to it to rotate. Since the two transmission rollers 301 are connected by the transmission belt 303, when one transmission roller 301 rotates, the other transmission roller 301 will also rotate synchronously, thereby driving the entire transmission belt 303 to move.

[0040] During air-drying, the bamboo shoots are placed on the upper conveyor belt 303, and as the conveyor belt 303 moves, they are smoothly conveyed forward. When the bamboo shoots reach the end of the upper conveyor belt 303, since the upper and lower conveyor belts 303 are staggered left and right, the bamboo shoots will naturally transition from the upper conveyor belt 303 to the lower conveyor belt 303, and the tips of the bamboo shoots that fall from the upper conveyor belt 303 will first contact the lower conveyor belt 303, and the lower conveyor belt 303 will continue to rotate to turn the bamboo shoots over, thereby achieving double-sided air-drying of the bamboo shoots.

[0041] In actual configuration, the conveyor belt 303 is a mesh conveyor belt, which facilitates the exhaust of moisture from the bamboo shoots.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the transmission between the transmission roller 301 and the rotating motor 302 , a through hole is provided on the support frame 2 for the output end of the rotating motor 302 to pass through, so that the output end of the rotating motor 302 can be connected to one of the transmission rollers 301 in transmission.

[0043] In further detail, in order to dry the bamboo shoots, the air-drying mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes two bellows 401 arranged inside the support frame 2, and a connecting pipe 402 is connected to the outside of the bellows 401, and the ends of the two connecting pipes 402 away from the bellows 401 are connected to an exhaust pipe 403, and a blower 404 is arranged at the bottom end of the exhaust pipe 403; a plurality of exhaust holes 405 are opened on the inner bottom wall of the bellows 401.

[0044] In the actual practical process, when it is necessary to start the air-drying mechanism 4, the blower 404 is started first. The blower 404 begins to inhale external air and send it into the exhaust pipe 403 after pressurizing it. As the blower 404 runs, the air flows through the connecting pipe 402 into the interior of the bellows 401, and then after a certain buffering and distribution inside the bellows 401, it is evenly blown toward the bamboo shoots on the conveyor belt 303 through the exhaust hole 405.

[0045] When the wind blows toward the bamboo shoots, it will take away the moisture on the surface of the bamboo shoots, thereby achieving the effect of air drying. Due to the setting of the exhaust holes 405 and the circulation mode of the wind flow, the bamboo shoots can receive uniform air drying during the transmission process, avoiding quality problems caused by uneven air drying.

[0046] In actual settings, in order to effectively air-dry the bamboo shoots on the conveyor belt 303, the two bellows 401 in this embodiment are respectively located above the two conveyor belts 303, and an electric heating element 406 is provided on the inner top wall of the bellows 401. The width of the left side of the bellows 401 is adapted to the width of the left side of the conveyor belt 303.

[0047] In actual configuration, the two wind boxes 401 are respectively located above the two conveyor belts 303, ensuring that the bamboo shoots can directly receive the hot air flow from the wind boxes 401 during the transmission process. Since the width of the wind boxes 401 matches the width of the conveyor belt 303, the air flow can evenly cover the bamboo shoots, thereby improving the air drying efficiency.

[0048] In addition, by setting an electric heating element 406 on the inner top wall of the bellows 401, the electric heating element 406 can generate heat and transfer the heat to the airflow passing through the bellows 401. The heated airflow not only has a stronger drying ability, but also can improve the drying speed and quality of bamboo shoots to a certain extent.

[0049] A method for using a bamboo shoot air-drying device, which is implemented by using the bamboo shoot air-drying device described above, is characterized in that it includes the following operating steps:

[0050] S001: The bamboo shoots are placed at the starting position of the electric heating element 4061 of the oblique lifting device and the electric heating element 406. As the lifting device is started, the bamboo shoots are smoothly lifted to the height of the electric heating element 4062 of the support frame and the electric heating element 406.

[0051] S002: When the bamboo shoots reach the area of ​​the support frame electric heating element 4062 electric heating element 406, they are received by the transmission device electric heating element 4063 electric heating element 406 and continue to move forward;

[0052] S003: During the transmission process, the air-drying mechanism electric heating element 4064 and the electric heating element 406 are started and blow air to the bamboo shoots;

[0053] S004: Since there are at least two transmission device heating elements 4063 and 406, the bamboo shoots on the upper transmission device heating element 4063 and 406 are turned over and fall onto the lower transmission device heating element 4063 and 406 after passing through the air-drying mechanism heating element 4064 and 406.
