Preparation and drying device and method for solanaceous vegetable pollen

Abstract

This invention discloses a drying device for preparing pollen from solanaceous vegetables, comprising a drying chamber and a conveying mechanism. The drying chamber is equipped with a warm-type dryer, and the conveying mechanism includes a conveyor chain and conveying components. A drying method for this solanaceous vegetable pollen drying device is also disclosed. This device automates the process by placing the pollen to be dried in a drying chamber, then mounting it on a conveyor chain via the conveying components. The conveyor chain carries the pollen into the drying chamber for drying. Simultaneously, a first and second positioning plate on the conveyor chain prevents the conveying components from rotating when they are at either end of the chain. However, when they are in the middle of the chain or within the drying chamber, the components rotate around a rotating rod via gears and racks, causing the pollen within the drying chamber to move and achieving rapid drying. This facilitates fast and uniform drying of the pollen.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to drying technology, and more particularly to a drying apparatus and method for preparing pollen from solanaceous vegetables. Background Technology

[0002] Pollen drying is the most important step in pollen production, as it directly affects the commercial quality and utilization value of the pollen. The most convenient drying method for beekeepers is sun drying, which was the most widely used method in the past. It is simple, easy to implement, and not limited by conditions, but it results in the loss of too many effective ingredients and makes it easy for dust and impurities to adhere to, making it difficult to guarantee pollen quality. Sun drying usually involves spreading the collected pollen on clean wooden boards, bamboo mats, cloth, or thick paper, about 1 cm thick. A layer of white cloth or white paper is then placed on top of the pollen to prevent direct sunlight, as strong ultraviolet rays can destroy the nutrients in the pollen.

[0003] There are various methods for drying pollen. Existing equipment generally uses electric heating for pollen drying, which offers high processing efficiency. The drying equipment mainly uses drying boxes, but these boxes have limited space, restricting the amount of pollen that can be dried and impacting actual production. Furthermore, manual placement and removal of pollen is required, resulting in relatively low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this invention proposes a drying device and method for preparing pollen from solanaceous vegetables.

[0005] A device for preparing and drying pollen from solanaceous vegetables, comprising: A drying chamber, the lower end of which is equipped with a support, and a warm dryer is installed inside the drying chamber; The conveying mechanism includes a conveyor chain and a conveying assembly. A driving mechanism is located in the middle of the conveyor chain. The conveyor chain is symmetrically arranged. A support is located in the middle of the conveyor chain. The conveying assembly is located on the conveyor chain and between the symmetrically arranged conveyor chains. The conveyor chain drives the conveying assembly to move into the drying chamber. The conveying assembly includes a rotating component and a holding component symmetrically arranged on the rotating component. A drying box is located between the holding components. The drying box is equipped with a cover, and the cover has an exhaust hole. A filter cloth is provided at the exhaust hole. The retaining component includes: A support member, which is fitted onto a rotating member; A support member, wherein the support member is disposed in the middle of the load-bearing member; And a positioning element disposed on the carrier, the positioning element being positioned between the support element and the carrier element, the support element and the positioning element being mounted on the carrier element by fasteners, and an elastic element being provided between the fasteners and the carrier element. The drying chamber is positioned between the carrier and the support. When pressure is applied to the drying chamber, the support pushes the carrier to deform and compress the elastic element.

[0006] In this invention, a first positioning plate and a second positioning plate are provided between the conveyor chains. The first positioning plate is located above the second positioning plate, and a passage area is formed between the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate. The first positioning plate is located above the support plane, and the rotating member passes through the passage area.

[0007] In this invention, the rotating component has rotating rods at both ends, the rotating rods pass through the conveyor chain, the rotating rods are equipped with gears, and the bracket is equipped with racks that cooperate with the gears.

[0008] In this invention, the rotating member has a supporting plane, and the positioning member is disposed on the supporting plane.

[0009] In this invention, the bearing member is composed of an arc-shaped segment and symmetrically arranged first support arm, second support arm, vertical segment and inclined segment. The lower end of the arc-shaped segment is tangentially connected to one end of the first support arm, and the upper end is connected to the vertical segment. The vertical segment is connected to the second support arm through the inclined segment, and the other end of the first support arm is connected to one end of the second support arm.

[0010] In this invention, a clamping area is formed in the middle of the arc segment, the rotating member is disposed in the clamping area, a limiting area is formed between the vertical segments, and the positioning member is disposed in the limiting area.

[0011] In this invention, a vertical plate is provided at the connection between the first support arm and the second support arm, and a limiting plate is provided on the vertical plate. The limiting plate cooperates with the support member to limit the position of the drying oven.

[0012] In this invention, the support member is arranged in an inverted trapezoidal shape, a through area is formed in the middle of the support member, and guide slopes that cooperate with the inclined section are provided on both sides of the support member.

[0013] In this invention, the positioning member consists of a base plate and symmetrically arranged side plates, with a clearance area formed between the side plates. The support member is disposed within the clearance area, and the side plates are provided with a blocking slope that cooperates with the guide slope.

[0014] A drying method using the above-mentioned solanaceous vegetable pollen preparation and drying equipment includes the following steps: Step 1: Start the warm-up dryer in the drying chamber to preheat the interior of the drying chamber; Step 2: Place the pollen that needs to be dried in the drying box and seal it with the lid; Step 3: Apply pressure to the support component to keep it pushing the load-bearing component, causing it to deform under force, and keep the elastic component compressed. Place the drying box between the support component and the limiting plate, remove the external force, and reset the load-bearing component and the elastic component. Push the support component to drive the drying box to contact the limiting plate. Step 4: Start the drive mechanism to drive the conveyor chain to rotate, and the conveyor chain will drive the conveying components into the drying chamber.

[0015] The solanaceous vegetable pollen preparation and drying equipment and method of this invention have the following beneficial effects: The solanaceous vegetable pollen preparation and drying equipment automates the process by placing the pollen to be dried in a drying chamber and then installing it on a conveyor chain via a conveyor assembly. The conveyor chain carries the pollen into the drying chamber for drying. Simultaneously, the first and second positioning plates on the conveyor chain ensure that the conveyor assembly does not rotate when it is at either end of the conveyor chain, but when it is in the middle of the conveyor chain or inside the drying chamber, the gears and racks allow the conveyor assembly to rotate around a rotating rod, thus moving the pollen within the drying chamber and achieving rapid drying. This facilitates rapid and uniform drying of the pollen. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this invention provides a pollen preparation and drying device for solanaceous vegetables, comprising a drying chamber 1 and a conveying mechanism 2. The drying chamber 1 provides heat to dry the pollen inside the drying box 3 on the conveying mechanism 2. The conveying mechanism 2 enables the movement of the drying box 3 and also ensures that the drying box 3 rotates when it is in the middle of the conveyor chain 4.

[0020] A support frame 5 is provided at the lower end of the drying chamber 1. The drying chamber 1 is equipped with a warm dryer, i.e. a dryer, which maintains a low temperature of 24-28℃ and cannot exceed 30℃, otherwise the pollen will lose its activity. The humidity is controlled at 5-10%RH.

[0021] The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveyor chain 4 and a conveying assembly 6. The conveyor chain 4 is a chain composed of multiple connecting pieces 7 and connecting rods 8. The connecting pieces 7 are hinged together by the connecting rods 8. Furthermore, some connecting pieces 7 are connected by rotating rods 9, ensuring that the rotating rods 9 can rotate in the center of the connecting pieces 7. While the conveyor chain 4 drives the rotating rods 9 to move, the rotating rods 9 rotate in the center of the connecting pieces 7. This is achieved through the engagement of a rack 10 and a gear 11, causing the gear 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rods 9 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the rotating rods 9 to drive the rotating component 12 to rotate, thus causing the holding assembly 13 on the rotating component 12 and the drying chamber 3 to rotate around the center line of the rotating component 12.

[0022] A drive mechanism (not shown in the figure) is provided in the middle of the conveyor chain 4, which is used to drive the conveyor chain 4 to rotate. The conveyor chain 4 is symmetrically arranged, and the support 5 is located in the middle of the conveyor chain 4. The conveyor chain 4 is divided into an upper part 14, a lower part 15, and a first arc-shaped part 16 and a second arc-shaped part 17 for connecting the upper part 14 and the lower part 15. The support 5 is located exactly between the upper part 14 and the lower part 15.

[0023] A first positioning plate 18 and a second positioning plate 19 are provided between the conveyor chains 4 and 4. The first positioning plate 18 is located above the second positioning plate 19, and a passage area 20 is formed between the first positioning plate 18 and the second positioning plate 19. The first positioning plate 18 is located above the support plane 21, and the rotating member 12 passes through the passage area 20. The first positioning plate 18 and the second positioning plate 19 are used to limit the position of the conveying assembly 6, so that when the rotating member 12 is in the passage area 20, the support plane 21 is kept in contact with the lower end face of the first positioning plate 18, and the support plane 21 is in a horizontal state, which facilitates the drying box 3 to be pushed between the support member 22 and the limiting plate 23.

[0024] The first positioning plate 18 and the second positioning plate 19 are set at the first arc-shaped part 16 and the second arc-shaped part 17, so that when the drying box 3 reaches the two ends, the rotating part 12 is kept with the support plane 21 facing upward, and the rotating part 12 is guided so that the support plane 21 faces upward, which is conducive to the placement and removal of the drying box 3.

[0025] The conveying assembly 6 is mounted on the conveyor chain 4 and positioned symmetrically between the conveyor chains 4. The conveyor chain 4 drives the conveying assembly 6 to move into the drying chamber 1. The conveying assembly 6 includes a rotating component 12 and symmetrically arranged retaining components 13 on the rotating component 12. The retaining components 13 are located at both ends of the rotating component 12. A drying chamber 3 is positioned between the retaining components 13 and the retaining components 13. The drying chamber 3 has a cover 24 with an exhaust port 25 and a filter cloth at the exhaust port 25. Multiple positioning angles 26 are located on the bottom surface of the cover 24 for positioning and installation with the drying chamber 3. After the cover 24 is mounted on the drying chamber 3, to prevent it from detaching, a latch can be provided on the adjacent surface that mates with the retaining components 13. The latch will not obstruct the installation of the drying chamber 3, thus securing the cover 24 to the drying chamber 3. This facilitates the placement of the drying chamber 3 and the cover 24 between the support component 22 and the limiting plate 23.

[0026] Rotating component 12 has rotating rods 9 at both ends, which pass through the conveyor chain 4. Gears 11 are mounted on the rotating rods 9, and racks 10 that mesh with the gears 11 are mounted on the bracket 5. The racks 10 are positioned on both sides of the upper section 14 to enable the conveying assembly 6 to rotate when it is in the upper section 14. The racks 10 are not corresponding to the first positioning plate 18 or the second positioning plate 19; that is, racks 10 are not located at the positions of the first positioning plate 18 and the second positioning plate 19 to avoid mutually restricting the rotating component 12.

[0027] A support plane 21 is provided on the rotating component 12, and a positioning component 27 is disposed on the support plane 21. The support plane 21 is used for the installation of the positioning component 27 and to restrict the position of the rotating component 12, ensuring that the support plane 21 cooperates with the first positioning plate 18. The height between the limiting plate 23 and the support member 22 is greater than the combined height of the cover 24 and the drying chamber 3, so that the support member 22 can push the drying chamber 3 and the cover 24 upward, so that the cover 24 contacts the limiting plate 23, and clamps the drying chamber 3 and the cover 24 between the support member 22 and the limiting plate 23.

[0028] When the pollen-filled drying box 3 is transferred to the conveying assembly 6 for positioning, a robotic arm can be used. Since the robotic arm is not the subject of this application and its principle is relatively simple, it is not shown in the accompanying drawings. The robotic arm operates by symmetrically arranged pressure cylinders that push the support member 22, causing it to move downwards. This pushes the inclined section 28, causing the vertical section 29 to deform under force, increasing the width of the limiting area 30, thereby compressing the elastic member 31. The support member 22 then descends, increasing the height between it and the limiting plate 23, facilitating transfer using the transfer assembly on the robotic arm to push the drying box 3 between the support member 22 and the limiting plate 23.

[0029] Its rotating component utilizes a sliding frame, which is set on a slide rail. The sliding frame is pushed by a push cylinder. A suction cup is set at the lower end of the sliding frame. The suction cup picks up the drying box 3 and then reaches the conveying component 6. The push cylinder pushes the sliding frame to slide on the slide rail. When it reaches the position between the support member 22 and the limiting plate 23, the suction cup's attraction on the drying box 3 is released.

[0030] The retaining component 13 includes a carrier 32, a support 22, and a positioning component 27. The carrier 32 is sleeved on the rotating component 12. The support 22 is located in the middle of the carrier 32. The positioning component 27 is located on the carrier 32 and between the support 22 and the carrier 32. The support 22 and the positioning component 27 are installed on the carrier 32 by fasteners 33. An elastic element 31, which is a spring, is provided between the fasteners 33 and the carrier 32.

[0031] The drying chamber 3 is positioned between the carrier 32 and the support 22. When pressure is applied to the drying chamber 3, the support 22 pushes the carrier 32 to deform and compress the elastic member 31, causing the support 22 to move downwards, while the position of the limiting plate 23 remains unchanged. This allows the height between the support 22 and the limiting plate 23 to be changed, facilitating the placement and removal of the drying chamber 3.

[0032] The drying chamber 3 can also be equipped with multiple partitions. The partitions are inclined and set along the length of the conveyor chain 4. The length of the partitions is half the length of the drying chamber 3. The partitions are spaced apart and can be used to block and disperse pollen.

[0033] The support member 32 is composed of an arc-shaped segment 34 and symmetrically arranged first support arm 35, second support arm 36, vertical segment 29 and inclined segment 28. The lower end of the arc-shaped segment 34 is tangentially connected to one end of the first support arm 35 and the upper end is connected to the vertical segment 29. The first support arm 35 and the second support arm 36 are both inclined. The support member 22 is located between the second support arm 36 and the second support arm 36. The vertical segment 29 is connected to the second support arm 36 through the inclined segment 28. The other end of the first support arm 35 is connected to one end of the second support arm 36.

[0034] The middle of the arc-shaped segment 34 forms a clamping area 37, the rotating member 12 is disposed in the clamping area 37, the vertical segment 29 and the vertical segment 29 form a limiting area 30, and the positioning member 27 is disposed in the limiting area 30.

[0035] A vertical plate 38 is provided at the connection between the first support arm 35 and the second support arm 36. A limiting plate 23 is provided on the vertical plate 38. The limiting plate 23 cooperates with the support member 22 to limit the position of the drying oven 3.

[0036] When the bearing member 32 is not fixed by the fastener 33 and the elastic member 31, its vertical section 29 is also inclined and remains open. This is because the elasticity of the arc section 34 itself makes the vertical section 29 open. When the fastener 33 and the elastic member 31 cooperate to restrict the vertical section 29, the vertical section 29 is pushed and deformed by force. The vertical section 29 contacts the side plate 39, and the positioning member 27 can restrict the position of the vertical section 29.

[0037] The distance between the side plates 39 is less than the distance between the vertical segments 29 after the bearing 32 is installed on the rotating part 12, so that the arc segment 34 is locked on the rotating part 12 and its positioning member 27 is placed on the support plane 21, which can prevent the component 13 from rotating, while maintaining the distance between the side plates 39 and the vertical segments 29, so as to better lock the bearing 32 on the rotating part 12.

[0038] Both the side plate 39 and the vertical section 29 are provided with through holes 40 that mate with fasteners 33. Each fastener has a nut 41. The fastener 33 consists of a locking rod 42 and a locking end 43. Elastic members 31 are respectively positioned between the locking end 43 and the vertical section 29, and between the nut 41 and the vertical section 29, and are all fitted onto the locking rod 42. Rotating the nut 41 adjusts the elastic force of the elastic member 31, thereby adjusting the downward pressure applied to the support member 22 and the force with which the bearing member 32 is locked onto the rotating member 12.

[0039] The support member 22 is arranged in an inverted trapezoidal shape, with a through area 44 formed in the middle of the support member 22. The two sides of the support member 22 are provided with guide slopes 45 that cooperate with the inclined section 28. The positioning member 27 consists of a base plate 46 and symmetrically arranged side plates 39. A clearance area 47 is formed between the side plates 39. The support member 22 is set in the clearance area 47. The side plates 39 are provided with blocking slopes 48 that cooperate with the guide slopes 45.

[0040] The support member 22 is pressed downward, and through the cooperation of the guide ramp 45 and the inclined section 28, the inclined section 28 and the vertical section 29 are pushed, causing the second support arm 36 to move slightly. The limiting plate 23 slides on the cover 24, and the blocking ramp 48 can block the downward stroke of the support member 22. The drying box 3 on the support member 22 moves down together, keeping the cover 24 out of contact with the limiting plate 23.

[0041] Of course, to ensure the position of the bearing 32, screws can be used for positioning at the bottom of the arc segment 34, or screws can be used for positioning on both sides of the arc segment 34.

[0042] After the external force is released from the pressure cylinder on the robotic arm, the elastic element 31 and the bearing element 32 can push the vertical section 29 and the inclined section 28 back to their original positions under their own elastic force, and at the same time push the support element 22 upward through the inclined section 28. Since the fastener 33 passes through the through area 44 of the support element 22, the upward stroke of the support element 22 can be limited.

[0043] A drying method for a solanaceous vegetable pollen preparation and drying equipment includes the following steps: Step 1: Start the warm dryer in drying chamber 1 to preheat the inside of drying chamber 1. Preheating can ensure the temperature in drying chamber 1 and ensure that the pollen entering the drying box 3 is dried quickly.

[0044] Step 2: Place the pollen to be dried in the drying chamber 3 and seal it with the cover 24. The filter cloth on the cover 24 can filter water vapor, allowing the water vapor to escape from the filter cloth, while the pollen is retained in the drying chamber 3.

[0045] Step 3: Apply pressure to the support member 22 using the pressure cylinder on the robotic arm, keeping the support member 22 pushing the carrier member 32 to deform under force, and keeping the elastic member 31 compressed. Push the drying box 3 between the support member 22 and the limiting plate 23 using the pushing cylinder, and then release the external pressure from the pressure cylinder, so that the carrier member 32 and the elastic member 31 can be reset under their own elasticity, pushing the support member 22 to drive the drying box 3 to contact the limiting plate 23.

[0046] Step 4: Start the drive mechanism to rotate the conveyor chain 4, which in turn drives the conveyor assembly 6 into the drying chamber 1. After rotating to the end of the drying chamber 1, the robotic arm can still be used to remove the drying box 3 from the conveyor assembly 6.

[0047] In addition, to ensure that the drying oven 3 does not slide during its own rotation, a protrusion can be provided at the lower end of the limiting plate 23, and a recessed groove that cooperates with the protrusion can be provided on the upper surface of the cover 24 to achieve positioning and prevent the drying oven 3 from shifting position.

[0048] like Figure 9 As shown, when one conveying component 6 reaches the passage area 20, the next conveying component 6 is exactly at the first arc-shaped section 16. At this time, the conveying component 6 at the first arc-shaped section 16 and the conveying component 6 in the passage area 20 are not on the same horizontal plane. Therefore, when the robotic arm puts the drying box 3, it will not be affected by the next conveying component 6. Similarly, the conveying component 6 in the second arc-shaped section 17 and the next conveying component 6 in the passage area 20 will not interfere with each other, making it easy to remove.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
