Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a drying, sterilization and sorting device for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, drying, sterilization, and sorting are key processes for ensuring food quality and safety, improving product quality, and achieving large-scale production. They are widely used in the processing of various foods such as fruits and vegetables, grains, meat products, and prepared dishes. With the continuous development of the global food industry, the demand for drying, sterilization, and sorting equipment, as core processing equipment, is increasing year by year. It has become an important support for promoting the automation and standardization of the food industry. The core purpose of food drying is to remove excess moisture from food raw materials or semi-finished products, reduce water activity, inhibit microbial growth, extend the shelf life of food, and at the same time retain the food's own nutritional components and flavor characteristics.

[0003] Furthermore, after use, food residue inevitably remains inside the drying equipment. Some small fragments and sticky substances will adhere to the inner walls of the equipment, ventilation ducts, gaps in the drying chamber, and transmission components as the hot air flows or the materials are turned over. If these residues are not cleaned in time and are left untreated for a period of time, the residues will be further dehydrated and solidified by the residual heat inside the equipment, forming a strong bond with the inner walls. This will not only greatly increase the difficulty of subsequent cleaning, requiring more manpower, resources, and time, but may also lead to the growth of microorganisms due to the long-term accumulation of residues. These microorganisms can contaminate new materials during subsequent food processing, posing a serious threat to food safety. At the same time, the accumulation of residues may also affect the smoothness of ventilation and the uniformity of drying, indirectly reducing the operating efficiency and service life of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technical problems in the prior art, and to propose a drying, sterilization, and sorting device for food processing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A drying, sterilization, and sorting device for food processing includes a base, an outer shell on top of the base, a cleaning strip slidably connected inside the outer shell, a support frame fixedly connected to the cleaning strip, a reciprocating threaded rod threadedly connected to the support frame, a second bevel gear fixedly connected to the reciprocating threaded rod, the second bevel gear meshing with a first bevel gear, the first bevel gear fixedly connected to the output end of a first motor, a rotating rod driven by the first bevel gear, a second gear fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod, the second gear meshing with a first gear, the first gear fixedly connected to a fan blade, the fan blade rotatably connected to a fixed plate, the fixed plate fixedly connected to a fixed cylinder, and multiple air supply pipes provided outside the fixed cylinder, the end of each air supply pipe away from the fixed cylinder being fixedly connected to the outer shell.

[0006] The above technical solution further includes: The support frame is slidably connected to the outer shell, the second bevel gear is rotatably connected to the top of the outer shell, the first motor is fixedly connected to the outer shell, the end of the rotating rod away from the second gear is rotatably connected to a column, the column is fixedly connected to the outer shell, the first bevel gear is driven by a belt, and the end of the belt away from the first bevel gear is driven by the rotating rod.

[0007] A fixing block is fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell, and the fixing block is rotatably connected to the rotating rod.

[0008] The fixed cylinder is connected to the inside of the gas supply pipe. A filter plate is provided at the opening of the gas supply pipe away from the fixed cylinder. The filter plate is fixedly connected to the outer shell.

[0009] The outer shell has a partition inside, and the partition has an electric door inside, which is used for food to fall off the partition.

[0010] The internal partitions and electric doors allow for precise connection between the drying process and subsequent transfer processes. The controllable electric doors can limit the food during the drying process to prevent it from falling prematurely and affecting the drying effect, and can also be opened precisely after drying. Together with the stirring rod, the food falls orderly onto the conveyor belt surface, preventing food accumulation and damage, ensuring smooth process connection and improving production efficiency.

[0011] The base has a track on its side, and a long groove is provided above the track for the sliding storage plate to slide.

[0012] The side rails and upper grooves of the base provide stable sliding support for the sliding storage plate, allowing it to slide flexibly. This makes it easy for staff to regularly remove stored food crumbs for cleaning, making the operation convenient. At the same time, it prevents excessive accumulation and overflow of crumbs, ensuring the cleanliness of the equipment's interior and reducing the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance.

[0013] A second motor is fixedly connected to the top of the outer casing, and a stirring rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor.

[0014] The second motor and stirring rod are fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell. The stirring rod is driven by the second motor to rotate stably, which can evenly stir the food during the food drying process. This effectively avoids the problems of local overheating and uneven drying, ensuring consistent food drying quality. At the same time, it reduces food sticking and further improves the smoothness of subsequent classification and transportation.

[0015] The interior of the outer shell is provided with a ramp, and a conveyor belt is provided above the ramp.

[0016] The ramp inside the outer shell and the conveyor belt above it allow the dried food to slide quickly and orderly onto the surface of the conveyor belt, preventing the food from piling up inside the outer shell. Together with the conveyor belt, the food can be transported automatically, reducing manual intervention and labor intensity. At the same time, it can prevent the food from being contaminated with debris or contamination during the transport process, ensuring the cleanliness of the food.

[0017] The base has multiple sets of cushioning legs at its bottom.

[0018] The multiple sets of buffer legs at the bottom of the base can effectively buffer the vibration generated during equipment operation, reduce the wear and tear on internal components such as reciprocating threaded rods, rotating rods, and conveyor belts, extend the service life of the equipment, reduce noise generated by vibration, improve the production environment, and ensure the stability of the equipment during operation, avoiding problems such as food spillage and equipment displacement caused by vibration.

[0019] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, the internal residue of the drying equipment can be automatically and efficiently cleaned. The cleaning strip is driven by the first motor to move up and down and reciprocate. The heat-resistant brush on its edge sweeps the inner wall of the outer shell, ventilation ducts and gaps, etc., to quickly remove the attached residue. At the same time, the airflow generated by the fan blades blows into the inside of the outer shell through the air pipe, blowing the freshly removed debris into the debris storage tank of the sliding storage plate for collection. This avoids the accumulation and solidification of residue, greatly reduces the difficulty of cleaning, saves manpower and material costs, and ensures the cleanliness of the inside of the equipment.

[0020] 2. In this invention, the problem of residue accumulation leading to microbial growth and affecting equipment operation is effectively avoided. The sweeping cleaning of the cleaning strip and the airflow blowing work together to thoroughly remove residue inside the equipment, reduce microbial growth from the source, prevent subsequent processed materials from being contaminated, ensure food processing safety, and prevent residue from clogging ventilation ducts and affecting airflow, ensuring smooth equipment ventilation and drying uniformity, maintaining stable equipment operation, and extending equipment service life.

[0028] In one embodiment, the housing 2 described above has a partition 25 inside, and an electric door inside the partition 25 is used for food to fall off the partition 25.

[0029] In this embodiment, the partition 25 and the internal electric door inside the outer shell 2 can achieve precise connection between the drying process and the subsequent transfer process.

At the same time, it can prevent the food from being contaminated with debris or contamination during the transfer process, ensuring the cleanliness of the food.

[0036] In one embodiment, the base 1 described above has multiple sets of cushioning legs at its bottom.

[0037] In this embodiment, the multiple sets of buffer legs at the bottom of the base 1 can effectively buffer the vibration generated during the operation of the equipment, reduce the wear and tear on internal components such as the reciprocating threaded rod 17, the rotating rod 10, and the conveyor belt 20 caused by the vibration, extend the service life of the equipment, reduce the noise generated by the vibration, improve the production environment, and ensure the stability of the equipment during operation, avoiding problems such as food spillage and equipment displacement caused by vibration.

[0038] The working principle of the drying, sterilization and sorting equipment for food processing in this invention is as follows: First, the operator puts the food to be processed into the interior through the opening on the top of the outer shell 2. Then, the dryer inside the outer shell 2 is opened for drying. During the drying process, the food is stirred by the stirring rod 24 to ensure the drying quality of the food and prevent local over-drying. Then, the electric door above the partition 25 is opened, and under the action of the stirring rod 24, the food falls through the opening of the electric door onto the surface of the conveyor belt 20. Then, it travels along the surface of the conveyor belt 20 to the opening on the side of the outer shell 2, where it can be further processed.

[0039] After a batch of food processing is completed, the output end of the first motor 14 is rotated, which drives the first bevel gear 15 to mesh with the second bevel gear 16. The second bevel gear 16 then drives the reciprocating threaded rod 17 to rotate. When the reciprocating threaded rod 17 rotates, it drives the support frame 18 to move along its own texture. When the support frame 18 moves along the surface texture of the reciprocating threaded rod 17, it drives the cleaning strip 19 inside the outer shell 2 to move up and down. The cleaning strip 19 uses heat-resistant brushes on its edges to clean and sweep the inside of the outer shell 2, thereby peeling off the debris from the inner wall of the outer shell 2. When the cleaning strip 19 reciprocates inside the outer shell 2, the first bevel gear 15 drives the rotating rod 10 to rotate via the belt 13. The rotating rod 10 then drives... The second gear 9 meshes with the first gear 8, and the rotation of the first gear 8 causes the fan blade 6 to rotate. When the fan blade 6 rotates, it generates airflow that flows into the interior of the outer casing 2 through multiple sets of air supply pipes 4. Each air outlet of the air supply pipe 4 is equipped with a filter plate 5. When the airflow blows into the interior of the outer casing 2, it can directly blow the food scraps that have just fallen onto one side of the sliding storage plate 21. The inner side of the sliding storage plate 21 is equipped with a scrap storage groove, which prevents food from falling in and thus collects the food scraps. Multiple sets of air supply pipes 4 are provided on the side of the outer casing 2 to cover the entire space, thereby ensuring the efficiency of scrap processing. It is worth mentioning that even if the filter plate 5 becomes clogged, the cleaning strip 19 will sweep it during its up-and-down reciprocating motion, thereby ensuring the efficiency of air output.

[0040] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
