AI Technical Summary
Existing orange drying equipment suffers from difficulties in automating the process of turning orange segments over because of their high sugar content, juiciness, and strong stickiness, causing them to adhere to the wire mesh tray. Furthermore, the high-level placement of trays makes it inconvenient to pick up and put down, requiring operators to use tools and posing safety hazards.
A lifting linkage structure including a drying chamber, slide rail, slider and telescopic component was designed. The connecting rope is released or wound up by a motor-driven take-up roller to realize automatic lifting and mechanical support of the placement tray, optimize the lifting process of the placement tray, and avoid adhesion and inconvenience of high-level operation.
The system enables automated lifting and lowering of the trays, reducing safety risks associated with high-rise operations, improving drying efficiency and ease of operation, avoiding localized accumulation and jamming of connecting ropes, and ensuring the stability and safety of the drying operation.
