Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dried noodle drying, and in particular to an all-round illumination dried noodle drying device. Background Art
[0002] Traditional noodle production generally adopts the open-air natural drying process. Its core equipment is a metal or wooden hanging rack. The noodles are hung on horizontal rods to form a "U" shape. The inner side of the noodles (close to the hanging rod) is blocked by the outer noodles and the hanging rod itself, and the light intensity received is less than 40% of the outer side. The difference in moisture content between the inside and the outside is as high as 15 percentage points. In order to increase the uniformity of drying, workers need to manually turn the noodles every 2-3 hours. This is not only inefficient but also causes the breaking rate of noodles to be as high as 12-18% during the turning process. Even if the noodles are turned, it is difficult to solve the problem of the inside of the noodles not being exposed to sunlight. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the inner side of the noodles cannot be exposed to sunlight, and to propose an all-round lighting noodle drying device.
[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0005] A noodle drying device with all-round illumination includes a noodle drying rack, wherein the noodle drying rack includes a horizontally arranged hanging rod with an open space below the hanging rod, and the inner side of the noodles is close to the open space. A light reflecting component is provided below the hanging rod, and the light reflecting component can reflect sunlight from the open space to the inner side of the noodles.
[0006] The light reflection component comprises a support plate, and a reflector is installed on the open side of the support plate close to the bottom end of the open space.
[0007] The support plate is an arc-shaped plate protruding toward the open space, and / or the reflector is composed of a plurality of mirror bodies arranged in a zigzag pattern and fixed on the support plate.
[0008] Support rod groups distributed in an inverted V shape are fixedly connected to both sides below the hanging rod, and support rods distributed at intervals horizontally are fixedly connected between the support rod groups.
[0009] The pole is a transparent light-diffusing rod.
[0010] The drying device includes a rotating system having a power output shaft arranged axially and vertically. There are at least two noodle drying racks, and a plurality of the noodle drying racks are connected to the power output shaft via a connecting bracket.
[0011] There are at least three noodle drying racks, and the multiple noodle drying racks are distributed in a regular polygonal manner.
[0012] The drying device includes a sun room, and the noodle drying rack is located in the sun room.
[0013] The sun room comprises a lower frame and a top cover sealed on the top of the lower frame. The top cover is a hemispherical transparent cover. The rotating system is installed above the top cover. The sun room is provided with a ventilation system capable of allowing air to enter and exhaust.
[0014] The proposed all-around illumination drying device for dried noodles effectively solves the problem of the inside of the noodles being blocked by light, making them difficult to dry. Light is reflected and then passes through the opening to illuminate the inside of the noodles, evenly illuminating both sides. This helps improve drying efficiency and reduces residual moisture variations, thereby minimizing deterioration or quality degradation caused by uneven humidity and improving overall product consistency and stability.

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0020] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 A omnidirectional lighting noodle drying device includes a noodle drying rack 8. The noodle drying rack 8 includes a horizontally arranged hanging rod 9, an open space 12 is provided below the hanging rod 9, and the inner side of the noodles is close to the opening space 12. A light reflecting component is provided below the hanging rod 9, which can reflect sunlight from the opening space 12 to the inner side of the noodles.
[0021] Noodle drying rack 8 is used to hang noodles for drying. Horizontally arranged hanging rods 9 are provided on the rack, from which the noodles are hung. Below the hanging rods 9 is an open space 12, which is vacant and faces the inside of the noodles. A light reflector assembly is located below open space 12. This assembly receives sunlight from the outside and reflects it onto the inner surface of the noodles near open space 12.
[0022] When sunlight shines into the interior of the device through the drying environment, the light reflecting component reflects the light upward from the bottom, passes through the open space 12, and shines on the inner area of the noodles that is originally difficult to illuminate, so that the noodles as a whole are evenly illuminated, avoiding the problem of inconsistent drying speeds inside and outside due to obstruction in traditional drying.
[0023] This effectively solves the problem of the inside of the noodles being blocked from sunlight, making them difficult to dry. Light is reflected and then passes through the openings to the inside of the noodles, evenly illuminating both sides. This helps improve drying efficiency and reduces variations in residual moisture, thereby minimizing deterioration or quality degradation caused by uneven humidity and improving overall product consistency and stability.
[0024] The light reflection assembly includes a support plate 13, on which a reflector 14 is installed on the open side of the bottom end of the support plate 13 near the opening space 12; the support plate 13 is an arc-shaped plate protruding toward the opening space 12, and / or the reflector 14 is composed of multiple mirror bodies arranged in a broken line and fixed on the support plate 13.
[0025] During operation, when sunlight strikes the surface of reflector 14, because reflector 14 is a combination of multi-faceted mirrors arranged in a broken line, it disperses the sunlight and reflects it at multiple angles toward the noodle hanging area. Furthermore, the curved protrusion of support plate 13, with its entire surface facing open space 12, further guides and focuses the light, ensuring that the reflected light effectively enters open space 12 and illuminates the inside of the noodles. Multi-angle reflection not only increases the illumination range but also improves the uniformity of the light. This allows the reflected light to form a multi-angle, multi-directional reflection path, significantly enhancing the range of sunlight's ability to illuminate the inside of the noodles.
[0026] Support rod groups 10 distributed in an inverted V shape are fixedly connected to both sides below the hanging rod 9, and horizontally spaced support rods 11 are fixedly connected between the support rod groups 10; the support rods 11 are transparent light-diffusing rods.
[0027] During operation, sunlight shines onto the drying area from all directions. Some of this light hits the surface of the poles 11, where it is diffusely reflected and evenly diffused to the surrounding area by the transparent material and its light-scattering properties. The transparent light-diffusing rods 11 effectively alleviate blind spots caused by factors such as noodle obstruction and structural shadows.
[0028] The drying device includes a rotating system 5 having an axially vertically arranged power output shaft 6 , and at least two noodle drying racks 8 , which are connected to the power output shaft 6 via a connecting bracket 7 .
[0029] During operation, after the rotation system 5 is activated, the power output shaft 6 begins to rotate at a constant speed along its vertical axis, driving the synchronous rotation of all the noodle drying racks 8 connected via the connecting bracket 7. As the drying racks 8 rotate, the position of the noodles constantly changes, allowing different areas of the noodles to be exposed to direct or reflected sunlight.
[0030] At the same time, since each noodle drying rack 8 is equipped with a light reflection component under it, the component also rotates synchronously with the power output shaft 6, so that the reflection path continues to change, and the reflected light continuously shines on the inside of the noodles from different angles, thereby further enhancing the uniformity of light.
[0031] The rotating system 5 drives the entire drying rack 8 to rotate, ensuring that each drying rack 8 receives uniform sunlight and reflected light exposure during the same cycle, thus avoiding the problem of insufficient local drying caused by fixed angles. Furthermore, the synchronous rotation of the light reflection components increases the frequency of the reflected light's angular variation, providing a more comprehensive light distribution, effectively improving the overall drying consistency of the noodles, reducing the need for manual intervention, and improving production efficiency and product quality.
[0032] refer to Figure 3 There are at least three noodle drying racks 8, and the multiple noodle drying racks 8 are distributed in a regular polygonal shape.
[0033] refer to Figure 1 The drying device includes a sunroom 1, and the noodle drying rack 8 is located in the sunroom 1; the sunroom 1 includes a lower frame 2, a top cover 4 sealed on the top of the lower frame 2, the top cover 4 is a hemispherical transparent cover, and the rotating system 5 is installed above the top cover 4. The sunroom 1 is provided with a ventilation system 3 that can allow air to enter and exhaust.
[0034] A sunroom 1 is located outside the drying device, providing a closed and highly light-transmitting drying environment for the noodles. Noodle drying racks 8 are located within the sunroom 1, within a controlled space. Sunroom 1 comprises a lower frame 2, which supports the entire structure, and a top cover 4, a hemispherical transparent hood with excellent light transmission, allowing sufficient natural light to reach the noodle area within.
[0035] Rotating system 5 is mounted above top cover 4 and transmits power to the internal power output shaft through top cover 4, thereby driving noodle drying rack 8 to rotate within sunroom 1. To maintain internal air circulation and timely discharge of moisture, sunroom 1 is equipped with ventilation system 3, which can achieve the entry and exit of air, form a healthy air circulation, and prevent moisture accumulation from affecting the drying effect.
[0036] The sunroom 1 provides a relatively enclosed, temperature-optimized, and well-lit drying environment for dried noodles. The hemispherical transparent roof 4 provides a wide lighting angle, continuously introducing natural light at varying solar altitudes. Combined with the ventilation system 3, it effectively regulates humidity and air flow, preventing the noodles from becoming damp and moldy. This structure allows the noodles to remain dry at all times, significantly improving drying efficiency and the quality of the finished product.
[0037] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technical solution, conception, and design obtained by equivalent replacement or modification of the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
