[0038] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inside" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the invention. Example 1

[0040] See also Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the present invention is a drying device for processing kelp, comprising a drying box 1, a heating assembly installed in the drying box 1, a circulating conveying mechanism 2 installed inside the drying box 1, and the loading and unloading ends of the circulating conveying mechanism 2 extend to the outside of the drying box 1, and a plurality of hoisting mechanisms 3 are installed on the circulating conveying mechanism 2, and the circulating conveying mechanism 2 can drive the plurality of hoisting mechanisms 3 to move in a circular conveying manner;

[0041] The hoisting mechanism 3 includes a suspension assembly, a rotary drive assembly and a hook 33. The hook 33 is installed below the circulating conveying mechanism 2 through the suspension assembly. The rotary drive assembly can drive the suspension assembly and the hook 33 to rotate synchronously during the circulation of the circulating conveying mechanism 2. The rotary drive assembly can also drive the hook 33 to flip and move at the bottom of the suspension assembly when the suspension assembly and the hook 33 are conveyed to the unloading end of the circulating conveying mechanism 2, so that the opening of the hook 33 faces downward.

[0042] When the kelp processing drying equipment is working, the multiple hoisting mechanisms 3 on it are driven to move in a circular manner through the circular conveying mechanism 2. When the hoisting mechanism 3 moves to the loading position at the outer end of the circular conveying mechanism 2, the kelp is hung on the hook 33. Then the circular conveying mechanism 2 drives the hook 33 and the kelp to move and transport into the drying box 1. The kelp is gradually heated and dried by the heating component in the drying box 1. At the same time, the rotary drive component drives the suspension component and the hook 33 to rotate synchronously, so that the hook 33 drives the kelp to rotate synchronously during the moving and conveying process, so that the kelp is heated more evenly. Evenly; until the circular conveying mechanism 2 drives the hook 33 and the kelp to move and transport for one circle in the drying box 1, the kelp drying process is completed, and then the hook 33 and the kelp move to the unloading end of the circular conveying mechanism 2, at this time, the rotary drive assembly drives the hook 33 to flip and move at the bottom of the suspension assembly, so that the opening of the hook 33 faces downward, so that the kelp suspended on the hook 33 can automatically slide down, realizing automatic unloading of the kelp; then the hook 33 moves to the loading position again, and then new kelp is suspended on the hook 33 for transportation and drying, and the kelp drying process can be continuously carried out reciprocatingly;

[0043] Through the cooperation of the drying box 1, the circulating conveying mechanism 2 and the multiple lifting mechanisms 3, the kelp is dried continuously, which can significantly improve the kelp drying efficiency and is beneficial to the drying process of large quantities of kelp. By driving the hook 33 to rotate during the kelp conveying and drying process, the kelp being conveyed can be driven to rotate, so that the kelp is heated more evenly, thereby improving the drying effect of the kelp. By driving the hook 33 to flip to a state with the opening facing downward during unloading, the automatic unloading of the kelp can be realized, making the kelp unloading process more convenient and quick. Example 2

[0044] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the heating assembly includes a plurality of hot air blowers 11, and the plurality of hot air blowers 11 are symmetrically distributed and installed on both sides of the drying box 1;

[0045] When the drying equipment for kelp processing is working, hot air is blown into the drying box 1 simultaneously through multiple hot air blowers 11, and the kelp transported in the drying box 1 can be gradually dried by the hot air. Example 3

[0046] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the circulating conveying mechanism 2 includes a bracket 21, a plurality of sprockets 23 are rotatably mounted on the outer ring of the upper end of the bracket 21, a conveying chain 24 is drive-mounted on the outer ring of the sprocket 23, a motor 22 is fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket 21, an output end of the motor 22 is drive-connected to one of the sprockets 23, a plurality of equidistantly distributed conveying boxes 25 are fixedly mounted on the outer ring of the conveying chain 24, and a hoisting mechanism 3 is mounted on the bottom end of the conveying box 25;

[0047] Among them, the conveying chain 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the conveying box 25 through corresponding chain links. When the circulating conveying mechanism 2 is working, the sprocket 23 connected to it is driven to rotate by the motor 22, and when the sprocket 23 rotates, it can drive the conveying chain 24 to move in a circular motion, so that the conveying chain 24 drives the multiple conveying boxes 25 connected to it to move in a synchronous circular motion, and then the conveying box 25 drives the lifting mechanism 3 and kelp below to move in a circular motion.

[0048] Furthermore, a track frame 26 is fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket 21, and a through slot 27 is provided at the bottom end of the track frame 26. A plurality of rollers 29 corresponding to the conveying boxes 25 are rotatably mounted inside the track frame 26. A connecting rod 28 is rotatably connected to the rollers 29. The lower end of the connecting rod 28 passes through the through slot 27 and extends to the bottom of the track frame 26. The bottom end of the connecting rod 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying box 25.

[0049] When the conveying box 25 moves, the conveying box 25 can drive the roller 29 to roll forward along the track frame 26 through the connecting rod 28. The track frame 26, the connecting rod 28 and the roller 29 cooperate to provide auxiliary support for the conveying box 25, which can improve the stability of the conveying box 25 during installation and mobile transportation, prevent the conveying box 25 from deviating downward under the action of the gravity of the kelp, and ensure that the conveying box 25 and the kelp can be moved and transported normally. Example 4

[0050] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the suspension assembly includes a suspension rod 31, which is rotatably installed on the bottom end of the conveying box 25, and a mounting frame 32 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the suspension rod 31. A mounting shaft 312 is rotatably installed on the mounting frame 32, and a hook 33 is fixedly installed on the mounting shaft 312; when the conveying box 25 moves forward driven by the conveying chain 24, the conveying box 25 drives the suspension rod 31 and the hook 33 below to move synchronously, so that the hook 33 drives the kelp to move and be transported for drying. Example 5

[0051] See also Figures 1-9 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the rotation drive assembly includes a rotating shaft 34, a transmission gear 36, a transmission ring gear 37 and a locking unit. The rotating shaft 34 is rotatably mounted on the axis position of the boom 31, and a driven gear 35 is fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating shaft 34. The transmission ring gear 37 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the lower end of the track frame 26. The transmission gear 36 is rotatably mounted inside the conveying box 25, and the two ends of the transmission gear 36 are respectively meshed and connected with the transmission ring gear 37 and the driven gear 35. The locking unit can lock and fix the rotating shaft 34 and the boom 31 when the hoisting mechanism 3 is conveyed with the circular conveying mechanism 2. When the hoisting mechanism 3 is conveyed to the unloading position, the locking unit can release the lock between the rotating shaft 34 and the boom 31 and lock and fix the boom 31 and the conveying box 25.

[0052] The bottom end of the rotating shaft 34 extends above the mounting shaft 312, and a transmission bevel gear 321 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the rotating shaft 34. A driven bevel gear 322 is fixedly mounted on the mounting shaft 312 and is in meshing transmission connection with the transmission bevel gear 321. The transmission ring gear 37 is a missing gear ring, which is in a missing gear state at the loading position of the circulating conveying mechanism 2.

[0053] When the conveying box 25 drives the kelp to move and transport in the drying box 1 for drying, the conveying box 25 drives the transmission gear 36 to move along the transmission ring gear 37, so that the transmission gear 36 rotates under the meshing drive of the transmission ring gear 37, and at the same time, the transmission gear 36 meshes and drives the driven gear 35 to rotate, so that the driven gear 35 drives the rotating shaft 34 to rotate. At this time, since the locking unit locks and fixes the rotating shaft 34 and the suspension rod 31, the suspension rod 31 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 34, and then the suspension rod 31 drives the hook 33 to rotate, so that the hook 33 drives the kelp suspended thereon to rotate, so that the kelp is heated more evenly, thereby improving the drying effect of the kelp; and when the kelp completes the drying process and moves a circle with the lifting mechanism 3 to reach the unloading position, the locking unit releases the rotating shaft 34 and the suspension rod The locking mechanism 31 is locked between the two parts, and the hanging rod 31 is locked and fixed to the conveying box 25. At this time, the hanging rod 31 is locked and no longer rotates with the rotating shaft 34, so that when the rotating shaft 34 rotates, the meshing transmission between the driving bevel gear 321 and the driven bevel gear 322 can drive the mounting shaft 312 to rotate, so that the mounting shaft 312 drives the hook 33 to flip and move, so that the opening of the hook 33 faces downward, and the kelp hung thereon can slide from the opening of the hook 33, thereby completing the automatic unloading of the kelp, and then the hook 33 moves to the loading position. At this time, since the transmission gear ring 37 is in a toothless state, the hook 33 is no longer limited by the gear meshing, so that the staff can rotate the hook 33 to reset, and hang new kelp on the hook 33 to continue conveying and drying the kelp.

[0054] The cam 318 is fixed to the upper end of the shaft 34, and the lower end of the cam 318 is fixed to the bottom wall of the conveying box 25. The cam 318 is slidably mounted on the upper end of the suspension rod 31, and the outer ring of the upper end of the suspension rod 31 is provided with a spline 318 that is slidably engaged with the cam 318. The outer ring of the suspension rod 318 is rotatably mounted on the outer ring of the cam 318, and the outer ring of the cam 318 is rotatably mounted on the outer ring of the cam 318. The support plate 317 is rotatably mounted on the lever frame 317. The support plate 317 is fixedly mounted in the conveying box 25. One end of the lever frame 311 extends to the outside of the conveying box 25 and is fixedly mounted with a guide block 320. The guide rail 319 is fixedly mounted on the inner ring of the lower end of the track frame 26, and the guide block 320 is slidably mounted in the guide rail 319.

[0055] The guide rail 319 includes a drying limit guide rail and a discharge limit guide rail. The discharge limit guide rail is located at the loading and unloading position of the circulating conveying mechanism 2, and the height of the discharge limit guide rail is higher than the drying limit guide rail. At the same time, the discharge limit guide rail and the drying limit guide rail are connected by a guide slope. When the kelp is moved and transported in the drying box 1 for drying, the guide block 320 slides and is engaged in the drying limit guide rail, and at this time the inner end of the lever frame 311 tilts upward, so that the lever frame 311 drives the lifting friction disk 39 upward through the ring sleeve 316 to abut against the bottom surface of the upper friction disk 38. At this time, the suspension rod 31 and the rotating shaft 34 are locked by the friction resistance between the upper friction disk 38 and the lifting friction disk 39, so that when the rotating shaft 34 rotates, it can drive the suspension rod 31 to rotate synchronously, so that the suspension rod 31 drives the hook 33 and the kelp to rotate, thereby improving the kelp When the lifting rod 31 is lifted, the guide block 320 is moved into the unloading position along the guide slope, so that the outer end of the lever frame 311 moves upward and the inner end moves downward, so that the inner end of the lever frame 311 drives the lifting friction plate 39 downward through the ring sleeve 316, so that the lifting friction plate 39 is separated from the upper friction plate 38, and the friction lock between the lifting rod 31 and the rotating shaft 34 is released. At the same time, the bottom surface of the lifting friction plate 39 abuts against the top surface of the lower friction plate 310, so that the lifting rod 31 and the conveying box 25 are locked and fixed by the friction resistance between the lifting friction plate 39 and the lower friction plate 310, preventing the lifting rod 31 from continuing to rotate with the rotating shaft 34, so that the rotating shaft 34 can drive the hook 33 to flip and unload when it rotates subsequently.

[0056] Through the cooperation of the upper friction plate 38, the lifting friction plate 39, the lower friction plate 310, the lever frame 311, the guide block 320 and the guide rail 319, the locking state between the boom 31 and the rotating shaft 34 and between the rotating shaft 34 and the conveying box 25 can be automatically adjusted during the drying and unloading of the kelp, so that the hook 33 can rotate or flip, making the drying and unloading process of the kelp more convenient and quick. Example 6

[0057] See also Figure 4 、 Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that a reset hinge shaft 313 is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting frame 32, a limit buckle 315 located at the opening of the hook 33 is fixedly mounted on one end of the reset hinge shaft 313, and a limit block 314 is also fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 32 to abut against the upper side of the limit buckle 315;

[0058] Among them, the limiting buckle 315 is located at the opening of the hook 33, which can limit and seal the opening of the hook 33 to prevent the kelp hung on the hook 33 from falling off the hook 33, thereby improving the stability of the kelp hanging and transportation. When hanging the kelp, the limiting buckle 315 can be rotated inward to expose the opening of the hook 33, thereby making the kelp hanging more convenient. When the kelp hanging is completed, the pressure on the limiting buckle 315 is released, and the limiting buckle 315 can rotate and reset under the reset elastic force of the reset hinge shaft 313, and the opening of the hook 33 can be limited and sealed again. Example 7

[0059] This embodiment discloses a drying method for kelp processing, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0060] The circulating conveying mechanism 2 drives the hoisting mechanism 3 to circulate. When the hoisting mechanism 3 moves to the loading position at the outer end of the circulating conveying mechanism 2, the kelp is hung on the hook 33. Then, the circulating conveying mechanism 2 drives the hook 33 and the kelp to move into the drying box 1. The heating component in the drying box 1 gradually heats and dries the kelp.

[0061] At the same time, the rotary drive assembly drives the suspension assembly and the hook 33 to rotate synchronously, so that the hook 33 drives the kelp to rotate synchronously during the moving and conveying process, so that the kelp is heated more evenly;

[0062] Until the circular conveying mechanism 2 drives the hook 33 and the kelp to move and transport for one circle in the drying box 1, the kelp drying process is completed, and then the hook 33 and the kelp are moved to the unloading end of the circular conveying mechanism 2. At this time, the rotary drive component drives the hook 33 to flip and move at the bottom of the suspension component so that the opening of the hook 33 faces downward, so that the kelp suspended on the hook 33 can automatically slide down, realizing automatic unloading of the kelp;

[0063] Afterwards, the hook 33 moves to the loading position again, and new kelp is hung on the hook 33 for drying, and the process is repeated in sequence to continuously dry the kelp.
