Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing equipment, and more particularly to an integrated dehydration device for block-shaped food slices and its processing method. Background Technology
[0002] In the food processing industry, block-shaped foods such as potatoes, radishes, sweet potatoes, and apples are extremely common raw materials, widely used in the production of many products such as potato chips, dried fruit, and dehydrated vegetables. The traditional block-shaped food processing process is usually divided into two independent steps: slicing and dehydration, and these two steps are often completed by different equipment.
[0003] In the slicing process, commonly used equipment includes manual slicing knives, semi-automatic slicing machines, and fully automatic slicing machines. Manual slicing knives rely on manual operation, resulting in low efficiency, difficulty in uniformly controlling slice thickness, and high labor intensity, making them suitable only for small-scale, family-based production scenarios. Semi-automatic slicing machines improve slicing efficiency to some extent, but still require manual assistance for feeding and unloading, failing to achieve fully automated production. While fully automatic slicing machines can automatically feed, slice, and unload, their complex structure, large footprint, and high purchase cost place a significant investment burden on some small and medium-sized food processing enterprises.
[0004] In the dehydration process, common methods include hot air drying, freeze drying, and vacuum drying, with corresponding equipment such as hot air drying ovens, freeze dryers, and vacuum drying equipment. These dehydration devices also suffer from large footprints and high energy consumption. Furthermore, since slicing and dehydration are two separate processes, the sliced food pieces need to be manually transferred to the dehydration equipment, which not only increases labor costs but also extends the production cycle and reduces overall production efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new integrated dehydration equipment and processing method for slicing block food to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the technical problem that traditional block food processing requires separate slicing and dehydration equipment, which complicates the production process, this invention provides an integrated block food slicing and dehydration equipment and its processing method.
[0007] The integrated dehydration equipment for slicing block food provided by the present invention includes a frame, a processing box, a rotating disk, a drive mechanism for rotating the rotating disk, a dehydration component, and a downward-pressing pusher component. The processing box is fixedly installed on the top of the frame. The rotating disk is in contact with the top wall of the inner cavity of the processing box. The surface of the rotating disk has multiple feeding ports, and each feeding port has a slicing blade on one side.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a fixed frame, a drive motor, a shaft, a bearing seat, and two opposing pulleys. The fixed frame is fixedly installed on one side of the machine frame, the drive motor is fixedly installed on the fixed frame, the bearing seat is fixedly installed on the machine frame, the shaft is rotatably installed on the bearing seat, one end of the shaft passes through the processing box and is fixedly connected to the rotary disk, and the two pulleys are respectively fixedly installed on the drive motor and one end of the shaft, and the two pulleys are driven by a belt.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the processing box is inclined toward the discharge pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, one side of the frame is also provided with a pushing mechanism for moving the dewatering assembly closer to or away from the end of the discharge pipe.
[0013] Furthermore, the elastic connector includes a fixed sleeve, a movable rod, and a compression spring located inside the fixed sleeve. The fixed sleeve is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the rotating cylinder. One end of the movable rod is slidably installed inside the fixed sleeve, and the other end of the movable rod is fixedly connected to the edge of the inner core. The two ends of the compression spring are respectively fixedly connected to the fixed sleeve and one end of the movable rod.
[0014] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a geared motor, a connecting rod, a gear, and a gear ring. The geared motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame. The output end of the geared motor is connected to one end of the connecting rod via a coupling. The other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the gear. The gear ring is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating drum and meshes with the gear.
[0015] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a slide rail, a connecting plate, a fixed base, and a telescopic electric cylinder.

[0016] Another aspect of the present invention provides a processing method for an integrated dehydration device for slicing block food, the method comprising the following steps: Step 1: Preparation: Check that all parts of the equipment are intact and undamaged, clean the inside of the processing box to ensure that there is no foreign matter left. According to the characteristics of the block food to be processed and the processing requirements, adjust the spacing of the slicing blades to determine the required slicing thickness. At the same time, check whether the dehydration holes in the inner core of the dehydration component are unobstructed to ensure that the dehydration function is effective. Step 2, Feeding and Slicing: Place the block-shaped food into the feeding cylinder at the top of the processing box. Control the feeding amount to avoid overfeeding, which could cause blockage or uneven slicing. As the rotating disc rotates, when the feeding cylinder connects with the discharge port on the rotating disc, the downward-pressing pusher component starts to work. Adjust the motor to drive the adjusting screw to rotate, and the sliding seat moves downward along the vertical guide rail. The sliding seat drives the pressure rod and pressure block to move downward. The pressure block extends into the inside of the feeding cylinder, pressing the block-shaped food from the feeding cylinder into the discharge port. Under the action of the slicing blade on one side of the discharge port, the block-shaped food is cut into slices. Continue feeding and repeat the above pressing and slicing process to ensure that food slices are continuously cut out. Step 3, Slicing and Discharging: The rotating disc continues to rotate. When the sliced food moves to the inclined discharge pipe position, the food slices slide off the surface of the rotating disc and into the discharge pipe under the action of gravity. During the discharge process, the telescopic electric cylinder of the push mechanism maintains its current state to ensure that the food slices can fall smoothly into the top of the inner core of the dehydration component. Step 4, Dehydration: The drum of the dehydration assembly rotates continuously under the drive of the geared motor. During the rotation of the drum, the compression spring in the elastic connector allows the movable rod to have a certain amount of extension and contraction space within the fixed sleeve, causing the inner core to shake to a certain extent when rotating. The shaking of the inner core causes the food slices inside to tumble continuously. Under the action of centrifugal force and tumbling, the water on the surface of the food slices is thrown out through the dehydration holes on the surface of the inner core and falls into the bottom of the drum. The thrown-out water is discharged from the equipment through the dehydration pipe connected to the inner cavity at the bottom of the drum, thus achieving the dehydration treatment of the food slices. Step 5: Equipment shutdown and cleaning: After all the block food has been processed, start the telescopic electric cylinder of the push mechanism to drive the rotating drum of the dehydration component away from the discharge pipe, remove the sheet food from the inner core, turn off the power of the equipment, and restore the equipment to its initial state.
[0017] Compared with related technologies, the integrated dehydration equipment and processing method for block food slices provided by this invention have the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention integrates slicing and dehydration functions into one device, reducing the equipment footprint. Food slices can directly enter the dehydration stage after slicing without manual transfer, simplifying the production process, reducing labor costs and the risk of food contamination during transfer, and improving production efficiency and food safety.
[0018] 2. This invention uses a rotating drum to drive the inner core to rotate and generate shaking, which fully tumbles the food slices, allowing moisture to be more thoroughly removed from the surface of the food slices and discharged through the dehydration holes and dehydration pipes. This effectively improves the dehydration rate and ensures that the dehydrated food slices reach the required degree of dryness. The design of the elastic connector ensures that the shaking amplitude of the inner core is moderate during rotation, which can ensure a good dehydration effect while avoiding excessive damage to the food slices due to excessive shaking, thus better protecting the appearance and quality of the food.
[0019] 3. This invention uses a downward-pressing pusher assembly with precise mechanical transmission to stably press block-shaped food into the feeding port. Combined with a slicing blade, it can ensure that the cut food slices are of uniform thickness, meeting the requirements of different food processing for slice specifications.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] In the specific implementation process, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the integrated dehydration equipment for slicing block food includes a frame 1, a processing box 2, a rotating disk 3, a drive mechanism for rotating the rotating disk 3, a dehydration component, and a pressing pusher component. The processing box 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1. The rotating disk 3 is in contact with the top wall of the inner cavity of the processing box 2. The surface of the rotating disk 3 has multiple feeding ports 4, and each feeding port 4 has a slicing blade 5 on one side. The top of the processing box 2 is also provided with a feeding cylinder 6 corresponding to the position of the feeding port 4. An inclined discharge pipe 7 is provided on one side of the processing box 2. The bottom wall of the processing box 2 is inclined towards the discharge pipe 7. When the rotating disk 3 rotates, the inner cavity of the feeding cylinder 6 is connected to or not connected to the feeding port 4. The pressing pusher component is located on the top of the processing box 2. The output end of the pressing pusher component is located directly above the feeding cylinder 6. The input end of the dehydration component is located at the end of the discharge pipe 7. In some embodiments, the downward-pressing pusher assembly includes a vertical guide rail 13, an adjusting screw 14, an adjusting motor 15, a sliding seat 16, and a pressure rod 17. The vertical guide rail 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the processing box 2. The adjusting motor 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the vertical guide rail 13. The output end of the adjusting motor 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting screw 14. The adjusting screw 14 is rotatably installed on the vertical guide rail 13. The surface of the adjusting screw 14 is threadedly connected to the sliding seat 16. The sliding seat 16 is slidably installed on the vertical guide rail 13. The pressure rod 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding seat 16. The bottom of the pressure rod 17 is also provided with a pressure block 18. One end of the pressure block 18 extends into the inside of the feed cylinder 6. The downward-pressing feeding assembly comes into play. The adjusting motor 15 is fixed on the top of the vertical guide rail 13. Its output drives the adjusting screw 14 to rotate on the vertical guide rail 13. When the food falls into the feeding cylinder 6, the adjusting motor 15 drives the sliding seat 16 to move downward, driving the pressing rod 17 and the pressing block 18 to press downward, pressing the block food from the feeding cylinder 6 into the feeding port 4. Under the action of the slicing blade 5 on one side of the feeding port 4, the block food is cut into slices. As the rotating disk 3 continues to rotate, the feeding cylinder 6 and the feeding port 4 are no longer connected. The cut food slices remain on the rotating disk 3. When the rotating disk 3 rotates to the position of the inclined discharge pipe 7, because the bottom wall of the processing box 2 is inclined towards the discharge pipe 7, the food slices slide from the surface of the rotating disk 3 to the discharge pipe 7 under the action of gravity.
[0025] In some embodiments, the dewatering assembly includes a mounting frame 8, a rotating drum 9, an open-topped inner core 10, a dewatering pipe 11, and a rotating mechanism for driving the rotating drum 9 to rotate. The rotating drum 9 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 8. Multiple elastic connectors are provided on opposite sides of the inner wall of the rotating drum 9, and these elastic connectors are respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower edges of the inner core 10. Multiple dewatering holes 12 are arrayed on the surface of the inner core 10, and the top of the inner core 10 corresponds to the position of the discharge pipe 7. The water-collecting pipe is located at the bottom of the rotating drum 9 and communicates with its inner cavity. The rotating mechanism is located on the mounting frame 8. The rotating mechanism drives the rotating drum 9 to rotate, and the inner core 10 rotates accordingly. Due to the action of the elastic connector, the inner core 10 will produce a certain amplitude of shaking during the rotation. This shaking causes the food slices to tumble continuously in the inner core 10, and the moisture on the surface of the food slices is thrown out through the dehydration hole 12 and falls into the bottom of the rotating drum 9. It should be noted that the elastic connector includes a fixed sleeve 24, a movable rod 25, and a compression spring 26 located inside the fixed sleeve 24. The fixed sleeve 24 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 9. One end of the movable rod 25 is slidably installed inside the fixed sleeve 24, and the other end of the movable rod 25 is fixedly connected to the edge of the inner core 10. The two ends of the compression spring 26 are fixedly connected to the fixed sleeve 24 and one end of the movable rod 25, respectively. It should be noted that the rotating mechanism includes a geared motor 27, a connecting rod 28, a gear 29, and a gear ring 30. The geared motor 27 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting bracket 8. The output end of the geared motor 27 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 28 through a coupling. The other end of the connecting rod 28 is fixedly connected to the gear 29. The gear ring 30 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating drum 9 and meshes with the gear 29.
[0026] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism includes a fixed frame 19, a drive motor 20, a shaft 21, a bearing seat 22, and two opposing pulleys 23. The fixed frame 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the frame 1, the drive motor 20 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 19, the bearing seat 22 is fixedly installed on the frame 1, the shaft 21 is rotatably installed on the bearing seat 22, one end of the shaft 21 passes through the processing box 2 and is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 3, and the two pulleys 23 are respectively fixedly installed on one end of the drive motor 20 and the shaft 21, and the two pulleys 23 are driven by belts.
[0027] Example 2 In a specific implementation process, refer to Figure 2 As shown, a pushing mechanism is also provided on one side of the frame 1 to drive the dewatering component closer to or away from the end of the discharge pipe 7; The driving mechanism includes a slide rail 31, a connecting plate 32, a fixed base 33, and a telescopic electric cylinder 34. The slide rail 31 is fixedly installed on one side of the frame 1, the connecting plate 32 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting frame 8, the connecting plate 32 is slidably installed inside the slide rail 31, the fixed base 33 is fixedly installed inside the frame 1, and the telescopic electric cylinder 34 is fixedly installed on the fixed base 33. The output end of the telescopic electric cylinder 34 passes through the frame 1 and is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 32.
[0028] Example 3 In a specific implementation process, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the processing method of the integrated dehydration equipment for block food slices includes the following steps: Step 1: Preparation: Check that all parts of the equipment are intact and clean the inside of the processing box 2 to ensure that there is no foreign matter. According to the characteristics and processing requirements of the block food to be processed, adjust the spacing of the slicing blades 5 to determine the required slicing thickness. At the same time, check whether the dehydration holes 12 of the inner core 10 in the dehydration component are unobstructed to ensure that the dehydration function is effective. Step 2, Feeding and Slicing: Place the block food into the feeding cylinder 6 at the top of the processing box 2. Control the feeding amount to avoid overfeeding, which could cause blockage or uneven slicing. As the rotating disk 3 rotates, when the feeding cylinder 6 connects with the discharge port 4 on the rotating disk 3, the downward pushing component starts to work. The adjusting motor 15 drives the adjusting screw 14 to rotate, and the sliding seat 16 moves downward along the vertical guide rail 13. The sliding seat 16 drives the pressure rod 17 and the pressure block 18 to move downward. The pressure block 18 extends into the inside of the feeding cylinder 6, pressing the block food from the feeding cylinder 6 into the discharge port 4. Under the action of the slicing blade 5 on one side of the discharge port 4, the block food is cut into slices. Continue feeding and repeat the above pressing and slicing process to ensure that the food slices are continuously cut out. Step 3, Slicing and Discharging: The rotating disk 3 continues to rotate. When the sliced food moves to the position of the inclined discharge pipe 7, the food slices slide off the surface of the rotating disk 3 and into the discharge pipe 7 under the action of gravity. During the discharge of the food slices, the telescopic electric cylinder 34 of the pushing mechanism remains in its current state to ensure that the food slices can fall smoothly into the top of the inner core 10 of the dehydration component. Step 4, Dehydration: The rotating drum 9 of the dehydration assembly rotates continuously under the drive of the reduction motor 27. During the rotation of the drum 9, the compression spring 26 in the elastic connector causes the movable rod 25 to have a certain extension and contraction space within the fixed sleeve 24, resulting in a certain amplitude of shaking of the inner core 10 during rotation. The shaking of the inner core 10 causes the food slices inside to tumble continuously. Under the action of centrifugal force and tumbling, the water on the surface of the food slices is thrown out through the dehydration holes 12 on the surface of the inner core 10 and falls into the bottom of the rotating drum 9. The water thrown out is discharged from the equipment through the dehydration pipe 11 connected to the inner cavity at the bottom of the rotating drum 9, thus achieving the dehydration treatment of the food slices. Step 5: Equipment shutdown and cleaning: After all the block food has been processed, start the telescopic electric cylinder 34 of the push mechanism to drive the rotating drum 9 of the dehydration component away from the discharge pipe 7, remove the sheet food from the inner core 10, turn off the power of the equipment, and restore the equipment to its initial state.

As the rotating disk (3) rotates, when the feeding cylinder (6) is connected to the discharge port (4) on the rotating disk (3), the downward pusher component starts to work. The adjusting motor (15) drives the adjusting screw (14) to rotate, and the sliding seat (16) moves downward along the vertical guide rail (13). The sliding seat (16) drives the pressure rod (17) and the pressure block (18) to move downward. The pressure block (18) extends into the inside of the feeding cylinder (6) and presses the block food from the feeding cylinder (6) into the discharge port (4). Under the action of the slicing knife (5) on one side of the discharge port (4), the block food is cut into slices. Continue feeding and repeat the above pressing and slicing process to ensure that the food slices are cut out continuously. Step 3, Slicing and Discharging: The rotating disk (3) continues to rotate. When the sliced food is rotated to the position of the inclined discharge pipe (7) along with the rotating disk (3), the food slice slides from the surface of the rotating disk (3) to the discharge pipe (7) under the action of gravity. During the discharge of the food slice, the telescopic electric cylinder (34) of the pushing mechanism maintains its current state to ensure that the food slice can fall smoothly into the top of the inner core (10) of the dehydration component. Step 4, Dehydration: The drum (9) of the dehydration assembly rotates continuously under the drive of the geared motor (27). During the rotation of the drum (9), the compression spring (26) in the elastic connector causes the movable rod (25) to have a certain extension space in the fixed sleeve (24), which causes the inner core (10) to shake at a certain amplitude when rotating. The shaking of the inner core (10) causes the food slices inside to turn over continuously. Under the action of centrifugal force and turning, the water on the surface of the food slices is thrown out through the dehydration hole (12) on the surface of the inner core (10) and falls into the bottom of the drum (9). The water thrown out is discharged from the equipment through the dehydration pipe (11) connected to the inner cavity at the bottom of the drum (9), thus realizing the dehydration treatment of the food slices. Step 5, Equipment shutdown and cleaning: After all the block food has been processed, start the telescopic electric cylinder (34) of the push mechanism to drive the rotating drum (9) of the dehydration component away from the discharge pipe (7), remove the sheet food from the inner core (10), turn off the power of the equipment, and restore the equipment to its initial state.
