Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0027] Existing interlayer drying devices usually use a multi-layer stacking method for internal drying, and the hot air for drying circulates internally for water evaporation. However, there are limitations in the evaporation process. Usually, only the upper and lower layers have a faster drying speed, and the middle part is prone to slow evaporation efficiency due to occlusion. Therefore, to solve the above problems, the following technical solutions are proposed in this case: Please refer to Figures 1 to 8, the present invention provides a food production equipment and a production process technical solution: its structure includes: a drying bin 2 and a hot air box 3. The hot air box 3 is installed on both sides of the drying bin 2, and a movable door panel 4 is provided at the front end of the drying bin 2. The door panel 4 and the drying bin 2 form a closed cavity. A controller 5 is installed on the surface of the drying bin 2. A drying layer 1 is installed inside the drying bin 2. The drying layer 1 is located in the middle of the hot air box 3. The drying layer 1 includes a positioner 11, a turning frame 12, and a receiving groove 13. The receiving groove 13 is nested inside the turning frame 12, and the positioner 11 controls the up and down movement of the turning frame 12; The turning frame 12 includes a driver 121 and a frame body 122. The driver 121 is movably connected to the frame body 122. The driver 121 includes a first motor 211. A chassis 212 is installed on the main shaft of the first motor 211. A rotatable gear box 214 is provided on one side surface of the chassis 212. The gear box 214 is connected to the first motor 211. A driving pulley 215 and an auxiliary roller 216 are provided outside the gear box 214. The motor inside the gear box 214 drives the driving pulley 215 to rotate to drive the horizontal movement of the frame body 122. The auxiliary rollers 216 are distributed on both sides of the frame body 122 and are slidably matched with the frame body 122.

[0028] When in use, the structure of this device includes a drying layer 1. The drying layer 1 is installed inside the drying bin 2 and is dried by the hot air boxes 3 on both sides of the drying bin 2. A controller 5 is provided at the top of the drying bin 2. The controller 5 is used to control the temperature inside the hot air box 3. During the drying process, the door panel 4 is closed to form a closed space inside the drying bin 2, thereby accelerating the circulation of hot air.

[0029] The positioner 11 of the drying layer 1 is installed on the surface of the drying bin 2. A movable and rotatable turning frame 12 and a receiving groove 13 are provided at the front end of the positioner 11. The receiving groove 13 is clamped on the surface of the turning frame 12. After food is placed on the surface of the receiving groove 13, it can be placed inside the turning frame 12 for drying.

[0030] Specifically, the structure of the turning frame 12 includes a driver 121. The driver 121 is used to turn the frame body 122. The driver 121 includes a first motor 211 for driving. The first motor 211 is fixed in the middle of the chassis 212. The main shaft penetrates into the middle of the chassis 212 and is connected to the outer shell of the gear box 214. Gears are installed inside the gear box 214 and are connected to the driving pulley 215. In order to be able to drive the upper and lower frame bodies 122 to move synchronously, two driving pulleys 215 are provided and are respectively connected to the gears inside the gear box 214. In order to be able to make the rotation directions of the upper and lower driving pulleys 215 opposite, a connecting gear is added between one of the gears to change the rotation direction of the driving pulley 215.

[0031] In order to ensure that the frame 122 runs smoothly between the driving pulleys 215, auxiliary rollers 216 and supporting beams 217 are provided adjacent to the driving pulleys 215. The auxiliary rollers 216 are arranged in groups of two, nested in the upper and lower surfaces of the frame 122 and nested with the slide rails 224 of the frame 122. In order to further improve the supporting strength, the auxiliary slide rails 225 of the frame 122 also cooperate with the groove body of the supporting beam 217 to avoid collapse, and can also provide stable support during rotation.

[0032] The structure of the containing tank 13 includes a top net 131 and a clamping part 133. The top net 131 and the clamping part 133 can be folded to form a net frame to fix the food up and down to prevent it from falling when turning over. The top net 131 and the bottom net 132 are provided with a clamping part 133. Specifically, when the containing tank 13 is placed in the turning rack 12, the clamping part 133 will follow the movement of the turning rack 12 and roll and clamp with the auxiliary roller 216, and then lock it. In order to facilitate removal after drying, a release groove 134 is provided on one side of the clamping part 133, and the food is released through the release groove 134. The release method is that when the release groove 134 moves to the auxiliary roller 216, it is staggered with the release groove 134, and the clamping is released.

[0033] The structure of the frame 122 includes a limiting groove 221 nested with the receiving groove 13. The limiting groove 221 is installed on one side of the mesh plate 222 and a side frame 223 is set on the other side. A slide rail 224 that cooperates with the auxiliary roller 216 is installed adjacent to the side frame 223. The mesh plate 222 is provided with an auxiliary slide rail 225 at the bottom where the side frame 223 is installed to cooperate with the supporting beam 217. The mesh plate 222 has a double width and can be easily disassembled and installed.

[0034] The structure of the positioner 11 includes a vertical slide rail 111 fixed to the surface of the drying bin 2, and the vertical slide rail 111 cooperates with the slide groove 213 on the side of the base frame 212. A second motor 112 is fixed on the top of the vertical slide rail 111, and the flip frame 12 is lifted by the second motor 112. Specifically, the main shaft gear of the second motor 112 is engaged with the bar-shaped external teeth of the gear handle 113, and the bottom end of the gear handle 113 is connected to the first motor 211 of the top flip frame 12. A synchronous ring 114 is installed on the surface of the first motor 211 of the flip frame 12. The synchronous ring 114 has an annular structure, and the top ring body is fixedly connected to the shaft rod surface of the opposite first motor 211, such as by welding or bolting. The inner wall of the ring body at the bottom of the synchronous ring 114 is slidably connected to the shaft rod of the adjacent first motor 211. When the top first motor 211 is pulled upward, the synchronous ring 114 lifts the bottom first motor 211.

[0035] When the gap needs to be reduced, the tooth handle 113 moves downward, and the first motor 211 moves downward. The limit crossbeam 115 supports the falling first motor 211. After the bottommost first motor 211 contacts the limit crossbeam 115, the upper first motors 211 are stacked one after another, thereby reducing the gap of the turnover rack 12 and facilitating the operation during loading. When the second motor 112 is lifted, the gap between the turnover racks 12 is increased to avoid collision during turnover and improve the circulation effect of hot air.

[0036] The working process of this device: S1: Set the temperature of the hot air box 3 through the controller 5, turn on the top net 131, place the food to be processed on the surface of the bottom net 132, and snap the top net 131 inside the frame body 122. S2: The gearbox 214 drives the groove 13 to move, so that the auxiliary roller 216 contacts the clamping part 133 and reduces the overlapping range of the upper and lower grooves 13. S3: Close the door panel 4 and start the heating pipe and fan inside the hot air box 3 for hot air circulation. S4: After drying for a certain time, the second motor 112 is started to pull up the tooth handle 113. After pulling up, the synchronous ring 114 increases the gap between the drivers 121. The gearbox 214 drives the driving pulley 215 to move the turnover rack 12 and the groove 13 towards the middle until the upper and lower grooves 13 overlap.

[0037] S5: The first motor 211 is started to drive the gearbox 214 to rotate, so that the turnover rack 12 and the groove 13 are turned over. After turning over, the gearbox 214 drives the driving pulley 215 again to expand the turnover rack 12 and the groove 13.

[0038] S6: After drying is completed, the driver 121 of the turnover rack 12 drives the frame body 122 and the groove 13 to turn over. During the turning process, the internal motor of the gearbox 214 drives the frame body 122 to move horizontally towards the middle. When the door panel 4 is opened, the driving pulley 215 is located at the release groove 134, and the limit on the clamping part 133 is released. At this time, the groove 13 can be disassembled, and thus the next round of drying can be entered.

[0039] The improved device uses the positioner 11 to adjust the gap of the turnover rack 12, which facilitates the efficiency during loading and can increase the drying gap, with a larger heat flow coverage area. The positioner 11 and the turnover rack 12 are matched through the driving pulley 215 and the slide rail 224, enabling the frame body 122 to move left and right, reducing the turning range. When moving left and right alternately, the overlapping area can be replaced, resulting in a better drying effect. The clamping part 133, the release groove 134 and the auxiliary roller 216 are used in cooperation. When the clamping part 133 is pressed tightly, the flip-up top net 131 is pressed to prevent it from falling off. After drying, the auxiliary roller 216 is located at the top of the release groove 134, and the limit on the receiving groove 13 is released, so that replacement can be carried out quickly, avoiding overly cumbersome operations.

[0040] The above only describes the basic principle and preferred implementation mode of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make many changes and improvements according to the above description, and these changes and improvements should belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described according to implementation modes, not each implementation mode only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
