Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drying equipment, and in particular to a water-transmitting kelp drying device. Background Art

[0002] Kelp is a vegetable with high nutritional value and also has certain medicinal value. Kelp needs to be dried and preserved after harvesting. Existing kelp is mainly dried manually, which is not only labor-intensive but also requires good weather. In order to improve the drying efficiency of kelp, a non-flowing kelp drying device is disclosed in the Chinese patent application number 202220077034.0, entitled “A Flowing Kelp Drying Device”, which drives the kelp to move and dry in the drying room through a traction chain, realizing drying while transporting, and improving the drying efficiency of kelp. In the Chinese patent application number 202220076582.1, entitled “A Kelp Drying Transmission Line Tensioning Device”, a transmission line tensioning device is provided, which tensions the transmission chain through a slide chute and a guide device, but does not involve a position offset compensation mechanism between the traction chain and the track.

[0003] In practical applications, the water-flow kelp drying and transmission device also faces the following problems:

[0004] When the traction chain is tightened, the vertical position of the chain and the track shifts, and the traction chain exerts a significant force on the spreader, which can easily cause the spreader to jam due to lateral tension. Furthermore, in existing technology, the spreader hangs hundreds of meters of kelp rope, which bears enormous tension, and the existing crossbar structure is insufficiently strong. Furthermore, uneven kelp hanging often results in uneven vertical force on the spreader. These factors can easily cause the spreader to jam during transmission, affecting smooth transmission. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a water-transmitting kelp drying device, which is used to solve the jamming caused by the position offset of the chain and the track and the uneven force of the sling, and improve the smoothness and stability of the sling's movement.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present application provides a water-transport type kelp drying device, comprising a drying room, a hot air device, and a traction chain, wherein the traction chain comprises two or more mutually parallel straight segments and a U-shaped segment connecting two adjacent straight segments, a chain groove is provided on the outside of the traction chain, and the traction chain is tensioned by moving the chain groove of the U-shaped segment. The water-transport type kelp drying device further comprises:

[0007] A track is provided below the traction chain;

[0008] The kelp drying and transmission hanger includes a crossbar assembly and a balancing connecting rod. The crossbar assembly is arranged on the track through rollers. The crossbar assembly is arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the track. A plurality of hanging points for hanging kelp cultivation ropes are arranged on the crossbar assembly along the length direction.

[0009] The front end of the balancing connecting rod is connected to the traction chain, and the rear end is hinged to the middle of the cross bar assembly. The balancing connecting rod is used to pull the cross bar assembly along the track, and the balancing connecting rod can swing horizontally to adapt to the position offset of the track and the traction chain.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross bar assembly includes a cross bar body, a leading slider and two stabilizing bars, the leading slider is located at the front of the cross bar body, the leading slider and the middle part of the cross bar body are both set on the track through rollers, the rear ends of the two stabilizing bars are fixed to the two ends of the cross bar body, the front end of the stabilizing bar is fixed to the leading slider, the stabilizing bar, the cross bar body and the leading slider form a triangular stable structure, and the rear end of the balancing connecting rod is hinged to the leading slider.

[0011] Furthermore, the track includes a main track and auxiliary rails located on both sides of the main track. The front guide slider and the middle part of the cross bar body are set on the main track through rollers, and the two ends of the cross bar body are supported on the auxiliary rails through end support wheels.

[0012] Furthermore, the front end of the balancing connecting rod is connected to the traction chain through a first hinge shaft, so that the balancing connecting rod can swing horizontally around the first hinge shaft, and the rear end of the balancing connecting rod is hinged to the leading slider through a second hinge shaft, allowing the balancing connecting rod to swing horizontally by ±35°.

[0013] Furthermore, the stabilizing rod is a metal square tube or a round tube.

[0014] Furthermore, the rollers include horizontal guide wheels and vertical guide wheels, which respectively abut against the top surface and side surfaces of the track to limit the moving direction of the crossbar assembly.

[0015] Furthermore, the hanging points are hooks, which are evenly distributed along the length of the crossbar assembly. The hooks are fixed to the crossbar assembly by positioning bolts, and their positions are adjustable.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a transmission line tensioning device, which includes a slide groove and a guide device. The slide groove includes an arcuate slide groove and a linear slide groove. The guide device guides the arcuate slide groove to move relative to the linear slide groove to tension the traction chain.

[0017] Furthermore, a circulating fan and a dehumidification window are provided in the drying room. The circulating fan circulates air in the length direction of the drying room, and the opening of the dehumidification window is adjustable.

[0018] Furthermore, the traction chain is provided with a plurality of connecting plates at intervals, the top of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the traction chain, the bottom of the connecting plate extends out of the chain slot, and the front end of the balancing connecting rod is hinged to the connecting plate.

[0019] Different from the prior art, the above-mentioned water-transport type kelp drying device includes a drying room, a hot air device, and a traction chain. A track is provided below the traction chain, and a kelp drying and conveying hanger is provided on the track. The kelp drying and conveying hanger includes a crossbar assembly and a balancing connecting rod. The crossbar assembly is provided on the track via rollers. The front end of the balancing connecting rod is connected to the traction chain, and the rear end is hinged to the middle part of the crossbar assembly. The balancing connecting rod is used to pull the crossbar assembly along the track, and the balancing connecting rod can swing horizontally. Therefore, the balancing connecting rod can adapt to the positional offset between the track and the traction chain, so that the traction force applied to the crossbar assembly is always maintained in the tangential direction of the track, preventing the crossbar assembly from getting stuck due to lateral force, and improving the smoothness and stability of the crossbar assembly's traction.

[0020] Furthermore, in this technical solution, the crossbar assembly adopts a high-strength structure. The leading slider, stabilizer bar, and crossbar body of the crossbar assembly form a triangular stable structure that can withstand the huge tension of hundreds of meters of kelp rope, reduce deformation, and avoid jamming caused by changes in the angle between the crossbar body and the track.

[0021] Furthermore, the anti-rolling capability can be improved in this technical solution, wherein the main rail and the auxiliary rail cooperate with each other to support the balancing force of the sling through multiple rollers, so that even if the kelp is unevenly suspended, it can remain level, ensuring stable transmission.

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a water-transmitting kelp drying device. The water-transmitting kelp drying device is used to dry freshly harvested kelp, so that the water in the kelp evaporates quickly. Figure 1 As shown, the water-transfer type kelp drying device includes a drying room 100 , a hot air device and a traction chain 1 , and the traction chain 1 is arranged in a chain groove 11 .

[0045] The traction chain 1 includes two or more parallel straight segments and a U-shaped segment connecting two adjacent straight segments. A chain groove 11 is provided on the outside of the traction chain 1, and the traction chain 1 is tensioned by moving the chain groove 11 of the U-shaped segment.

[0046] The water-transfer type kelp drying device further comprises: a track 3 and a kelp drying and transmission hanger 2 .

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the track 3 is disposed below the traction chain 1. The kelp drying and transporting hanger 2 includes a crossbar assembly 22 and a balancing connecting rod 24. The crossbar assembly 22 is mounted on the track 3 via rollers 211. The crossbar assembly 22 is arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the track 3. Multiple hanging points for suspending kelp cultivation ropes are provided along the length of the crossbar assembly. The front end of the balancing connecting rod 24 is connected to the traction chain 1, and the rear end is hinged to the middle of the crossbar assembly. The balancing connecting rod 24 is used to pull the crossbar assembly along the track and can swing horizontally to accommodate positional offsets between the track and the traction chain 1.

[0048] In this embodiment, the drying room 100 adopts a flow-type drying principle, that is, the kelp enters from one end of the drying room 100 through the traction chain 1, continues to move in the drying room 100, and finally moves out from the discharge end of the drying room 100. While the kelp moves in the drying room 100, it is dried by the hot air generated by the hot air device. Therefore, when the kelp is moved out from the discharge end of the drying room 100, the kelp has met the drying requirements. A circulating fan and a dehumidification window are provided in the drying room 100. The circulating fan circulates air in the length direction of the drying room 100, and the opening of the dehumidification window is adjustable. In this embodiment, the flow-type drying principle adopted by the drying room 100 is the same as that of the application number 202220077034.0, entitled "A Flow-Type Kelp Drying Device", so it will not be repeated here. In this embodiment, there is no need to remove the kelp from the kelp cultivation rope and then dry it. Instead, the kelp cultivation rope (kelp growing on the kelp cultivation rope) is directly hung on the kelp drying and transmission hanger 2 for drying.

[0049] In this embodiment, the traction chain 1 includes a transmission line tensioning device, which includes a chute and a guide device. The chute includes an arcuate chute and a linear chute. The guide device guides the arcuate chute to move relative to the linear chute to tension the traction chain 1. The end of the chain groove 11 (i.e., the arcuate chute) of the U-shaped segment of the traction chain 1 and the end of the chain groove 11 (i.e., the linear chute) of the linear segment slide together. By driving the chain groove 11 of the U-shaped segment toward or away from the linear segment, the traction chain 1 can be tensioned. In this embodiment, the drive structure and tensioning structure of the traction chain 1 are the same as those in the Chinese patent application number 202220076582.1, entitled "A Tensioning Device for a Kelp Drying Transmission Line," and will not be repeated here.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the cross bar assembly includes a cross bar body, a front guide slider 21 and two stabilizing bars 23. The front guide slider 21 is located at the front of the cross bar body. The front guide slider 21 and the middle part of the cross bar body are both set on the track 3 through rollers 211. The rear ends of the two stabilizing bars 23 are fixed to the two ends of the cross bar body, and the front ends of the stabilizing bars 23 are fixed to the front guide slider 21. The stabilizing bars 23, the cross bar body, and the front guide slider 21 form a triangular stable structure. The rear end of the balancing connecting rod 24 is hinged to the front guide slider 21.

[0051] The traction chain 1 is provided with a plurality of connecting pieces 12 at intervals. The top of each connecting piece 12 is fixedly connected to the traction chain 1, and the bottom of each connecting piece 12 extends out of the chain slot 11. The front end of the balancing connecting rod 24 is hinged to the connecting piece 12. The stabilizing rod 23 and the cross bar body are metal square tubes or metal square tubes. The front end of the stabilizing rod 23 is welded to (or fixedly connected to) the leading slider 21 by bolts, and the rear end of the stabilizing rod 23 is welded to (or fixedly connected to) the two ends of the cross bar body by bolts, thereby forming a triangular structure. The cross bar assembly adopts a high-strength structure. The leading slider 21, stabilizing rod 23, and cross bar body of the cross bar assembly form a triangular stable structure that can withstand the huge tension of hundreds of meters of kelp rope, reduce deformation, and avoid jamming caused by changes in the angle between the cross bar body and the track 3.

[0052] The front end of the balancing connecting rod 24 is connected to the traction chain 1 via a hinge, and the rear end is hinged to the leading slider 21 via a rotating shaft. When the traction chain 1 is tensioned and moved upward, the balancing connecting rod 24 can swing to both sides, allowing the crossbar assembly to always move smoothly along the track 3. The track 3 includes a main track 31 and auxiliary rails 32 located on both sides of the main track 31. The leading slider 21 and the middle portion of the crossbar body are set on the main track 31 via rollers 211, and the ends of the crossbar body are supported on the auxiliary rails 32 via end support wheels 223. In this embodiment, the main track 31 and auxiliary rails 32 are fixed below the traction chain 1, with the main track 31 located in the center and the auxiliary rails 32 symmetrically arranged on both sides.

[0053] The crossbar assembly includes a leading slider 21, a crossbar body and a stabilizing bar 23. A roller 211 is provided at the bottom of the leading slider 21 to roll with the main track 31. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a roller 211 is provided on the inner side of the front guide slider 21 and is rollingly connected to the main track 31. The roller 211 includes a horizontal guide wheel and a vertical guide wheel, which respectively abut against the top surface and side surface of the main track 31 to limit the moving direction of the crossbar assembly.

[0054] The middle portion of the crossbar body is slidably connected to the main rail 31 via a chute 221 (the structure of the chute 221 is similar or identical to that of the leading slider 21, and rollers are also provided inside the chute to roll with the main rail 31). The ends of the crossbar body are supported on the auxiliary rail 32 via support wheels 223 at the ends. In this embodiment, the main rail 31 and the auxiliary rail 32 are used in conjunction to improve anti-roll capability. The multiple rollers 211 support the balancing sling, ensuring that even if the kelp is unevenly suspended, it can maintain a level surface and ensure stable transmission.

[0055] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the front end of the balancing connecting rod 24 is connected to the traction chain 1 through the first hinge shaft 241, so that the balancing connecting rod 24 can swing vertically around the first hinge shaft 241; the rear end of the balancing connecting rod 24 is hinged to the front guide slider 21 through the second hinge shaft 242, allowing the balancing connecting rod 24 to swing horizontally by ±35°.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the hanging points are mounting plates 222, which are provided with through holes for mounting kelp cultivation ropes (kelp growing on the kelp cultivation ropes). The mounting plates 222 are evenly distributed along the length of the crossbar assembly and are fixed to the crossbar assembly with positioning bolts, and the positions of the mounting plates 222 are adjustable. In other embodiments, the hanging points are hooks, which are evenly distributed along the length of the crossbar assembly and are fixed to the crossbar assembly with positioning bolts, and the positions of the hooks are adjustable.

[0057] In this embodiment, the kelp cultivation rope is suspended from a hanging point on the crossbar body via a mounting plate 222 or a hook. The traction chain 1 is driven by a drive device, and the crossbar assembly is pulled along the track via a balancing connecting rod 24. When the tensioning device moves the chain slot 11 to tension the traction chain 1, the balancing connecting rod 24 swings to compensate for the positional offset between the traction chain 1 and the main track 31. Furthermore, the crossbar assembly, with its triangular stabilization structure, withstands the tension of the kelp, while the main track 31 and the auxiliary track 32 cooperate to prevent tilt, ensuring smooth transmission and drying. Therefore, in this embodiment, the balancing connecting rod 24 can accommodate positional offsets between the track 3 and the traction chain 1, ensuring that the traction force applied to the crossbar assembly remains tangential to the track 3, preventing the crossbar assembly from jamming due to lateral forces, and improving the smoothness and stability of the crossbar assembly's traction.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the specification and drawings of this application, this does not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. All technical solutions generated by replacing or modifying equivalent structures or equivalent processes based on the essential concepts of this application using the contents recorded in the specification and drawings of this application, as well as directly or indirectly implementing the technical solutions of the above embodiments in other related technical fields, are included in the scope of patent protection of this application.
