Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a general-purpose dryer for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] Drying is a common process in food processing, used to remove moisture from food, extend shelf life, and improve taste.

[0003] Existing food drying equipment has certain limitations in its use.

[0004] On the one hand, traditional drying equipment is often not designed with proper heat source layout. During the drying process, food is prone to producing crumbs or small particles that fall off. If these fall directly onto the heating element, they are not only difficult to clean, but also pose certain safety hazards.

[0005] On the other hand, existing dryers have a relatively simple design in the discharge stage. The discharge port usually lacks effective guidance and anti-overflow design, which causes dried food (such as walnuts, mushrooms, etc.) to easily scatter on the ground when discharged, resulting in material waste or pollution and increasing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning work.

[0006] In addition, some equipment has a complex structure and high production cost, making it inconvenient for large-scale promotion and use. Therefore, a general-purpose dryer for food processing is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a universal dryer for food processing to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial alternative.

[0008] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: A general-purpose dryer for food processing includes a drying chamber, a drying assembly on the drying chamber, two discharge assemblies symmetrically arranged on the drying chamber, a mounting frame fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber, a breathable mesh plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting frame, the breathable mesh plate being in contact with the inner wall of the drying chamber, the drying assembly being disposed below the mounting frame, and discharge ports symmetrically opened on the front surface of the drying chamber, with the two discharge assemblies connected to the corresponding discharge ports.

[0009] In some embodiments, the drying assembly includes a housing, a cover plate, a mounting cylinder, a plurality of heating rods, a mounting plate, a motor, a plurality of fan blades, and a fixing frame. The housing penetrates the drying chamber and is fixedly connected thereto, and the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing. One end of each of the plurality of heating rods evenly penetrates one side of the mounting plate and is fixedly connected thereto. The cover plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing, and the mounting cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover plate. An air inlet is provided on the upper surface of the cover plate, and the mounting cylinder communicates with the air inlet. The fixing frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder, the output shaft of the motor passes through the fixing frame, and the plurality of fan blades are evenly fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor.

[0010] In some embodiments, the discharge assembly includes a U-shaped discharge plate and a door, wherein the U-shaped discharge plate is fixedly connected to the front surface of the drying chamber, and a first through hole is provided on the inner bottom wall of the U-shaped discharge plate; the outer wall of the door is attached to the inner wall of the U-shaped discharge plate, and the door is rotatably connected to the front surface of the drying chamber via a bearing, and the door is fixedly connected to the front surface of the drying chamber via a latch.

[0011] In some embodiments, a protective net is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting cylinder.

[0012] In some embodiments, a male buckle is fixedly connected to the front surface of the door, and a female buckle is fixedly connected to the front surface of the drying chamber, wherein the male buckle and the female buckle are adapted to each other.

[0013] In some embodiments, a controller is fixedly connected to the front surface of the drying chamber, and the controller is electrically connected to the heating rod and the motor via wires.

[0014] The embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solutions: I. This invention, by setting up an installation rack and a breathable mesh plate inside the drying chamber, places the drying components below the installation rack. The design of the breathable mesh plate can ensure that the hot airflow is transmitted unimpeded to the top of the chamber to dry the food, and can also effectively block food debris or particles, preventing them from falling onto the heating rods and other components below, thus avoiding safety hazards caused by material accumulation, and also facilitating the internal cleaning of the equipment.

[0015] Second, the present invention provides a discharge assembly including a U-shaped discharge plate and a door. The U-shaped discharge plate is fixed at the discharge port. When the door is opened to discharge the food after drying, the two side walls of the U-shaped discharge plate can effectively guide and block the food, thus preventing the food from overflowing and scattering when discharged, and ensuring the stability and cleanliness of the discharge.

[0016] Third, the present invention, through the design of the first through hole in the inner bottom wall of the U-shaped discharge plate in the discharge assembly, can not only provide room for the rotation of the door and ensure the flexible opening and closing of the door, but also reduce the use of materials and reduce production costs to a certain extent.

[0017] Fourth, by fixing a protective net to the upper surface of the mounting cylinder, this invention can effectively prevent large external particles from being sucked into the drying assembly, ensuring the normal operation of the fan and heating elements and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0018] The above overview is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting in any way. In addition to the illustrative aspects, embodiments, and features described above, further aspects, embodiments, and features of the invention will become readily apparent from the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.

The housing 20 penetrates the drying chamber 1 and is fixedly connected, and the mounting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 20. One end of each of the heating rods 23 evenly penetrates one side of the mounting plate 24 and is fixedly connected. The cover plate 21 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing 20, and the mounting cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover plate 21. An air inlet 11 is provided on the upper surface of the cover plate 21, and the mounting cylinder 22 communicates with the air inlet 11. The fixing frame 27... Fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 22, the output shaft of the motor 25 passes through the fixing frame 27, and several fan blades 26 are evenly fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 25. With the above settings, when the heating rod 23 generates heat, the output shaft of the motor 25 drives several fan blades 26 to rotate, which is used to transfer the air from the external environment to the housing 20 through the air inlet 11, thereby transferring the hot air generated by the heating rod 23 in the housing 20 to the drying chamber 1. The hot water in the drying chamber 1 is transferred to the top through the ventilated mesh plate 4 for drying. The ventilated mesh plate 4 is used to ensure the air circulation while preventing walnuts, mushrooms or various foods from falling.

[0028] In this embodiment, specifically, the discharge assembly 3 includes a U-shaped discharge plate 30 and a door 31. The U-shaped discharge plate 30 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the drying chamber 1, and a first through hole 7 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the U-shaped discharge plate 30.

[0031] In this embodiment, specifically, a controller 6 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the drying chamber 1, and the controller 6 is electrically connected to the heating rod 23 and the motor 25 via wires.

[0032] In operation, the present invention works as follows: personnel place walnuts, mushrooms, or various foods into the drying chamber 1. Then, the personnel control the heating rod 23 and the motor 25 to start via the controller 6. When the heating rod 23 generates heat, the output shaft of the motor 25 drives several fan blades 26 to rotate, which is used to transfer the air from the external environment to the shell 20 through the air inlet 11, thereby transferring the hot air generated by the heating rod 23 in the shell 20 to the drying chamber 1. The hot water in the drying chamber 1 is transferred to the top through the breathable mesh plate 4 for drying. The breathable mesh plate 4 is used to ensure the flow of gas while preventing walnuts, mushrooms, or various foods from falling.

[0033] After drying is complete, the relevant personnel release the male buckle 8 from the female buckle 9, and then the door 31 rotates onto the U-shaped discharge plate 30. The door 31 is used to block the first through hole 7. The first through hole 7 not only facilitates the movement of the door 31, but also reduces production costs. Afterwards, the walnuts, mushrooms or various foods in the drying chamber 1 are transferred to the door 31 through the discharge port 12. The U-shaped discharge plate 30 is used to prevent them from overflowing and to ensure the stability of the discharge of walnuts, mushrooms or various foods.
