Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of nut drying, and specifically relates to a crawler-driven nut drying device. Background Art

[0002] Nuts include four major categories, namely walnuts, almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts. Since nuts are rich in high protein, oil, minerals, and vitamins, consuming nuts can not only provide energy, nourish the brain, but also prevent cardiovascular diseases, bringing many benefits to the human body.

[0003] The processing steps of nuts include cleaning, shelling, drying, grading, and packaging, etc. By using a drying device to dry nuts and remove the moisture in the nuts, it can not only inhibit the growth of bacteria, molds, etc., but also extend the shelf life of nuts.

[0004] The crawler-driven drying device consists of a crawler and a drying box. When in use, the transmission mechanism with the crawler runs through the drying box. Fresh nuts are transported from the outside of the drying box to the inside of the drying box through the crawler. During the process of fresh nuts moving in the drying box along with the crawler, the moisture inside them can be removed. After the nuts move out of the drying box following the crawler, they are dried nuts, thus achieving the drying action. However, during the process of nuts moving along with the crawler, the nuts themselves do not move. Therefore, the side of the nuts in contact with the crawler cannot be better baked, and the drying effect of the nuts is poor.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a crawler-driven nut drying device. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Embodiments

[0032] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved objectives and effects realized by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0033] As Figures 1-9 shown, a crawler-driven nut drying device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a machine body 1, a transmission mechanism 2 and a heating mechanism 4. A feed pipe 3 is fixedly installed on the machine body 1. The transmission mechanism 2 includes a frame plate 22 installed on the machine body 1 and a crawler 21 installed on the frame plate 22. It also includes a number of loading mechanisms 5 installed on the crawler 21. The loading mechanism 5 includes: a bracket 51 movably inserted on the crawler 21; a semi-circular plate 52 rotatably installed on the bracket 51. The semi-circular plate 52 is rotatably installed on the bracket 51 and is used for loading nuts; a driving component 53 for driving the semi-circular plate 52 to rotate. The driving component 53 includes: a first gear 531 fixedly installed on both sides of the semi-circular plate 52; a first rack plate 532 slidably installed up and down on the bracket 51. The first rack plate 532 is used for driving the first gear 531 to rotate; a round block 533 rotatably installed on the bracket 51. A connecting rod is installed between the round block 533 and the first rack plate 532. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively rotatably connected to the round block 533 and the first rack plate 532. The rotation of the round block 533 drives the first rack plate 532 to reciprocate up and down through the connecting rod; a second rack plate 534 fixedly installed on the machine body 1. The second rack plate 534 is meshed with the round block 533.

[0034] Specifically, for the existing device, nuts are placed on the crawler 21. Initially, the nuts are located at one end of the shelf plate 22. The movement of the crawler 21 drives the nuts to move to the other end of the shelf plate 22. During the movement of the nuts on the crawler 21, they are baked and dried by the heating structure 4. Since the nuts do not move by themselves during the movement, the drying effect of the part in contact with the crawler 21 is not good. Before use, the feeding pipe 3 is connected to the feeding device, and the feeding device quantitatively and regularly feeds the feeding pipe 3. A frame is placed at the end of the shelf plate 22 away from the feeding pipe 3. The heating mechanism 4 (which can adopt existing electric heating wires or fans that blow hot air, etc.) is controlled to heat the inside of the machine body 1. During operation, when the loading mechanism 5 moves to the lower part of the feeding pipe 3 following the crawler 21, it is controlled that fresh nuts are discharged from the feeding pipe 3 and fall into the semi-circular plate 52. When the semi-circular plate 52 contains a fixed quantity of fresh nuts, the feeding pipe 3 is controlled to stop discharging. The crawler 21 continues to drive the loading mechanism 5 and the fresh nuts to move. During the movement, the round block 533 contacts the second rack plate 534. Since the second rack plate 534 remains stationary, the round block 533 rotates. The round block 533 drives the first rack plate 532 to move up and down reciprocally through the connecting rod. The first rack plate 532 moves up and down reciprocally, causing the first gear 531 to rotate reciprocally. The reciprocal rotation of the first gear 531 causes the semi-circular plate 52 to rotate reciprocally. As a result, the nuts in the semi-circular plate 52 are shaken until the moisture in the nuts is removed, that is, the drying action is achieved. At this time, the nuts, the bracket 51, and the semi-circular plate 52 move to the end of the shelf plate 22. The crawler 21 continues to move and drives the nuts, the bracket 51, and the semi-circular plate 52 to rotate, causing the nuts to be poured out from the inside of the semi-circular plate 52 and fall into the frame, thus realizing the collection action of the dried nuts. By setting the loading mechanism 5, the nuts are placed in the semi-circular plate 52, and the semi-circular plate 52 is controlled to rotate reciprocally. During the movement of the nuts following the crawler 21, they shake themselves, which is convenient for the discharge of the water vapor generated by the self-heating of the nuts gathered between the nuts. At the same time, it can make the nuts heat more evenly, resulting in a better drying effect for the nuts, and there is no need for an additional device to drive the semi-circular plate 52 to rotate.

[0035] As Figures 6-9 shown, the loading mechanism 5 further includes two symmetrically arranged baffles 54 that are slidably mounted up and down on the semi-circular plate 52, and the baffles 54 penetrate through the semi-circular plate 52.

[0036] Specifically, taking Figure 9For example, in the initial state, the semi-circular plate 52 faces upward, and neither of the two baffles 54 is inside the semi-circular plate 52. Taking the left baffle 54 as the A baffle 54 and the right baffle 54 as the B baffle 54, control the semi-circular plate 52 to rotate counterclockwise. When the A baffle 54 rotates to a point on the right side of the center line, control the A baffle 54 to slide into the semi-circular plate 52. Subsequently, control the semi-circular plate 52 to rotate clockwise. When rotating clockwise, the nut is blocked by the A baffle 54 and rotates together. When the semi-circular plate 52 rotates to Figure 9 the state, control the A baffle 54 to slide until the A baffle 54 is no longer inside the semi-circular plate 52. At this time, the nut is unobstructed and can roll downward. Subsequently, the semi-circular plate 52 continues to rotate clockwise until the B baffle 54 is on the left side of the central axis. At this time, control the B baffle 54 to slide until the B baffle 54 is inside the semi-circular plate 52. Subsequently, control the semi-circular plate 52 to rotate counterclockwise, and the nut moves upward following the B baffle 54. When the semi-circular plate 52 rotates to Figure 9 the state, control the B baffle 54 to slide until the B baffle 54 is no longer inside the semi-circular plate 52. At this time, the nut is unobstructed and rolls downward. By cycling in this way, during the reciprocating rotation of the semi-circular plate 52, the nut continuously rolls from top to bottom, making the heating of the nut more uniform and the drying effect better.

[0037] As Figure 6 and Figure 9 shown, a chute 55 is provided on the bracket 51, and the baffle 54 is slidably connected to the chute 55. A first spring 56 is fixedly installed between the baffle 54 and the semi-circular plate 52.

[0038] Specifically, there are steps in the chute 55, and the place where the baffle 54 contacts the chute 55 is made of elastic material. The sliding trajectory of the baffle 54 in the chute 55 is fixed. Taking the position of the A baffle 54 in Figure 9 as an example, the A baffle 54 is under the action of the elastic force of the first spring 56 at this position and can slide relative to the semi-circular plate 52 until the A baffle 54 is no longer inside the semi-circular plate 52. Subsequently, the semi-circular plate 52 rotates counterclockwise, and the A baffle 54 rotates synchronously. At this time, the A baffle 54 moves within the large arc on the outermost side of the chute 55. When the A baffle 54 moves to the central axis, the A baffle 54 slides at the connecting line of the two inner and outer arcs on the right side, causing the A baffle 54 to slide into the semi-circular plate 52 until the A baffle 54 is located at the inner arc. Subsequently, control the semi-circular plate 52 to rotate clockwise, driving the A baffle 54 to rotate synchronously. The A baffle 54 moves within the inner small arc. When the semi-circular plate 52 is in Figure 9 the state, the A baffle 54 is under the action of the elastic force of the first spring 56 and moves outward from the semi-circular plate 52. At this time, the A baffle 54 moves on the connecting line of the inner small arc and the outer large arc. The movement of the B baffle 54 is the same, and there is no need to set up an additional device to drive the baffle 54 to move, saving costs.

[0039] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the container mechanism 5 further includes: a notch 57 formed in the semi-circular plate 52; two arc-shaped plates 58 rotatably mounted on the semi-circular plate 52, and the two arc-shaped plates 58 can block the notch 57 when they come into contact; a first telescopic rod 59 slidably mounted between the two arc-shaped plates 58, and the first telescopic rod 59 is used to drive the two arc-shaped plates 58 to rotate relative to the semi-circular plate 52; a first inclined plate 510 fixedly mounted on the bracket 51, and the first inclined plate 510 is located below the notch 57; an outlet 511 formed in the body 1; a second inclined plate 512 fixedly mounted on the body 1, and the second inclined plate 512 penetrates through the outlet 511.

[0040] Specifically, when the bracket 51 moves to the right along with the crawler 21, the two arc-shaped plates 58 are controlled to slowly rotate in the direction away from each other. Therefore, during the process of the semi-circular plate 52 rotating to drive the nuts to roll, the notch 57 gradually increases. According to the size of the nuts, the nuts fall from the notch 57 onto the first inclined plate 510 in ascending order, and then fall from the first inclined plate 510 to the second inclined plate 512, and are discharged from the outlet 511 of the body 1 through the second inclined plate 512. Therefore, the drying time of the nuts in the body 1 increases in ascending order according to the size of the nuts, improving the uniformity of the drying degree of the nuts and avoiding the problem that the small-sized nuts have too long drying time, which affects their nutritional value and taste.

[0041] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the container mechanism 5 further includes: a first switch 513 fixedly mounted on the bracket 51, and the first switch 513 is used to control the extension of the first telescopic rod 59; a contact rod 514 fixedly mounted on the second rack plate 534, and the first switch 513 is within the moving range of the contact rod 514; a plurality of receiving frames 515 fixedly mounted on the body 1 on one side of the outlet 511, there are a plurality of the second inclined plates 512, and the distance between each second inclined plate 512 and the feed pipe 3 is different, and the plurality of receiving frames 515 are evenly distributed below the plurality of second inclined plates 512.

[0042] Specifically, the contact rod 514 is located near the second inclined plate 512 closest to the left side. During the process of the bracket 51 and the first switch 513 moving from left to right, the contact rod 514 contacts the first switch 513 on the bracket 51. After the first switch 513 is triggered, the first telescopic rod 59 starts to extend, causing the two arc-shaped plates 58 to rotate away from each other, gradually increasing the notch 57. The nuts fall in sequence from the smallest to the largest in size. By setting a number of second inclined plates 512, the nuts fall from the first inclined plate 510 to the second inclined plate 512 in sequence according to different size ranges, and are discharged through the second inclined plate 512. Finally, the nuts in different size ranges fall into different storage baskets, so as to realize the action of grading the nuts, making the function of the device diverse. Therefore, there is no need to use an additional grading device to grade the dried nuts.

[0043] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the heating mechanism 4 includes an air outlet pipe and an air inlet pipe respectively installed at the upper end and the lower end of the machine body 1. The crawler 21, the semi-circular plate 52, the first inclined plate 510 and the baffle 54 all adopt a ventilation structure.

[0044] Specifically, during use, hot air is introduced from the lower air inlet pipe, and the gas containing steam is discharged from the upper air outlet pipe. The crawler 21, the semi-circular plate 52, the first inclined plate 510 and the baffle 54 all adopt a ventilation structure, which can blow the nuts from bottom to top with hot air, facilitating the discharge of steam between the nuts and ensuring the drying effect of the nuts.

[0045] As Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 shown, the loading mechanism 5 further includes: a connecting plate 516 slidably installed on the machine body 1; a second telescopic rod 517 fixedly installed on the machine body 1, with a cover plate 518 slidably installed at the lower end of the second telescopic rod 517, and the cover plate 518 can cover the semi-circular plate 52; a sliding rod 519 slidably installed up and down on the bracket 51, and the sliding rod 519 is within the moving range of the cover plate 518; a second switch 520 fixedly installed on the bracket 51, and the second switch 520 is within the moving range of the sliding rod 519.

[0046] Specifically, during the drying process of the nuts, as the moisture inside the nuts evaporates, the outer shells of the nuts gradually become brittle. Due to the collision between the nuts, the outer shells of the nuts are broken. After a long time, some fine nut shell debris may block the ventilation openings of the semi-circular plate 52 and the first inclined plate 510. In the initial state, the second telescopic rod 517 is in a contracted state. When the bracket 51 and the semi-circular plate 52 move below the cover plate 518, the control connecting plate 516 is controlled to move a certain distance following the bracket 51. At the same time, the second telescopic rod 517 is controlled to extend downward. If the ventilation rate of the first inclined plate 510, the semi-circular plate 52, etc. is qualified, the wind passing through the semi-circular plate 52 can blow the cover plate 518 to move upward relative to the second telescopic rod 517. Otherwise, the cover plate 518 does not move relative to the telescopic rod. The cover plate 518 moves downward synchronously with the second telescopic rod 517 and contacts the sliding rod 519, causing the sliding rod 519 to move downward synchronously until the sliding rod 519 contacts the first switch 513, and the first switch 513 is triggered, which can send a message to the staff for timely processing to ensure the drying effect of the nuts.

[0047] As Figure 6 and Figure 8 shown, the loading mechanism 5 further includes: an observation hole 521 opened on the bracket 51; a display block 522 rotatably installed inside the bracket 51, and the display block 522 is meshed and connected with the second rack plate 534, and the display block 522 can be seen through the observation hole 521.

[0048] Specifically, the display block 522 can be coated with two colors, up and down. During use, one of the colors of the display block 522 can be observed through the observation hole 521. During the downward movement of the sliding rod 519, the display block 522 rotates, so that the other color of the display block 522 rotates to the position of the observation hole 521, which is convenient for the staff to quickly find the problematic first inclined plate 610 and semi-circular plate 52.

[0049] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the machine body 1 contains multiple groups of the transmission mechanism 2 and the loading mechanism 5.

[0050] Specifically, by setting multiple groups of the transmission mechanism 2 and the loading mechanism 5, the nut content in each semi-circular plate 52 is reduced, the accumulation between the nuts is reduced, which is convenient for the rolling of the nuts and the discharge of moisture.

[0051] As Figure 6 and Figure 9 shown, the loading mechanism 5 further includes two shielding plates 523 slidably installed on the semi-circular plate 52, and the shielding plates 523 adopt a ventilation structure.

[0052] Specifically, by setting the sliding shutter 523, when one side of the semi-circular plate 52 rotates downward, the shutter 523 is controlled to slide into the semi-circular plate 52 to avoid the problem that the nuts in the semi-circular plate 52 directly roll out from one side of the semi-circular plate 52. When the semi-circular plate 52 rotates to face upward, the shutter 523 is controlled to slide out of the semi-circular plate 52 to avoid the shutter 523 affecting the discharge of steam.

[0053] Working principle: Before use, the feed pipe 3 is connected to the feeding device, and the feeding device quantitatively and regularly feeds the feed pipe 3. The heating mechanism 4 is controlled to heat the interior of the machine body 1. During operation, when the loading mechanism 5 moves to the lower part of the feed pipe 3 following the crawler 21, fresh nuts are controlled to be discharged from the feed pipe 3 and fall into the semi-circular plate 52. When the semi-circular plate 52 contains a fixed amount of fresh nuts, the feed pipe 3 is controlled to stop discharging. The crawler 21 continues to drive the loading mechanism 5 and the fresh nuts to move. During the movement, the round block 533 contacts the second rack plate 534. Since the second rack plate 534 remains stationary, the round block 533 rotates. The round block 533 drives the first rack plate 532 to reciprocate up and down through the connecting rod. The first rack plate 532 reciprocates up and down, causing the first gear 531 to reciprocally rotate. The reciprocal rotation of the first gear 531 causes the semi-circular plate 52 to reciprocally rotate. For Figure 9 example, in the initial state, the semi-circular plate 52 faces upward, and neither of the two baffles 54 is inside the semi-circular plate 52. The baffle 54 on the left is designated as the A baffle 54, and the baffle 54 on the right is designated as the B baffle 54. The semi-circular plate 52 is controlled to rotate counterclockwise. When the A baffle 54 rotates to a point on the right side of the center line, the A baffle 54 is controlled to slide into the semi-circular plate 52. Subsequently, the semi-circular plate 52 is controlled to rotate clockwise. During the clockwise rotation, the nuts are blocked by the A baffle 54 and rotate together. When the semi-circular plate 52 rotates to Figure 9 a certain state, the A baffle 54 is controlled to slide until the A baffle 54 is no longer inside the semi-circular plate 52. At this time, the nuts are unblocked and can roll downward. Subsequently, the semi-circular plate 52 continues to rotate clockwise until the B baffle 54 is on the left side of the central axis. At this time, the B baffle 54 is controlled to slide until the B baffle 54 is inside the semi-circular plate 52. Subsequently, the semi-circular plate 52 is controlled to rotate counterclockwise, and the nuts move upward following the B baffle 54. When the semi-circular plate 52 rotates to Figure 9In the [specific state], control the sliding of the B baffle 54 until the B baffle 54 is no longer inside the semi-circular plate 52. At this time, the nuts roll downward without being blocked, and this cycle repeats. During the reciprocating rotation of the semi-circular plate 52, the nuts continuously roll up and down and then downward. When the bracket 51 moves to the right following the crawler 21, control the two arc-shaped plates 58 to slowly rotate away from each other. Therefore, during the process of the semi-circular plate 52 rotating to drive the nuts to roll, the notch 57 gradually increases. According to the size of the nuts, from small to large, they fall from the notch 57 onto the first inclined plate 510 in sequence, and then fall from the first inclined plate 510 to the second inclined plate 512, and are discharged from the outlet 511 of the machine body 1 through the second inclined plate 512, thus realizing the drying operation.
