[0002] Freeze drying of fruits and vegetables is an advanced food processing technology, which can retain most of the nutrients and flavors of fruits and vegetables, and is therefore loved by consumers. In the freeze drying process of fruits and vegetables, it is usually necessary to blanch the cut fruits and vegetables with hot water or steam to prevent food spoilage. After blanching, the fruits and vegetables need to be dehydrated using a dehydration device to remove water droplets on their surfaces, and then freeze dried. After the existing dehydration device performs a single dehydration on the blanched fruits and vegetables, some water will still remain on the fruits and vegetables. If the subsequent freeze drying process is directly carried out, the freeze drying time will be extended. In order to improve the dehydration effect, multiple dehydrations are required, thereby increasing the dehydration time and reducing the work efficiency of the blanched fruits and vegetables.

[0030] A rotating ring 13 is rotatably disposed in the dehydration barrel 1 , and two cleaning plates 14 are symmetrically disposed at the lower end of the rotating ring 13 .

[0031] In the present embodiment, when it is necessary to dehydrate the blanched fruits and vegetables, the fruits and vegetables are placed in the dehydration basket 6. Since the dehydration basket 6 is arranged in an annular shape, it can avoid piling up a large number of fruits and vegetables, thereby accelerating the dehydration of the fruits and vegetables. The cover body 7 is covered, and the cover body 7 drives the air inlet pipe 8 to move downward, so that the lower end of the air inlet pipe 8 extends into the hole in the middle of the dehydration basket 6. The first motor 3 is started, and the first motor 3 drives the rotating frame 2 to rotate. The rotating frame 2 drives the dehydration basket 6 to rotate through the mounting groove 4 and the mounting strip 5. Under the action of centrifugal force, the water on the fruits and vegetables is thrown out. A drainage pipe is provided at the lower end of the dehydration barrel 1. The water will flow downward along the inner wall of the dehydration barrel 1 and be discharged from the drain pipe. At the same time, the fan 11 is started. The fan 11 filters the dust and other impurities through the filter 10, and then enters the air inlet pipe 8, and then blows out from the lower end of the air inlet pipe 8 to blow air on the fruits and vegetables to air dry them. The air after air drying is discharged from the air outlet pipe 12. The inclined setting of the air outlet pipe 12 can prevent the water from being discharged from the air outlet pipe 12 during the dehydration process. The installation frame 9 can be rotated regularly so that the installation frame 9 can be removed from the air inlet pipe 8, and the installation frame 9 drives the filter 10 to be removed, which can be replaced or cleaned. When the dehydration is completed, open the cover 7, pull the dehydration basket 6 upward, so that the dehydration basket 6 drives the installation bar 5 to move out of the installation slot 4, so that the dehydration basket 6 drives the dehydrated fruits and vegetables to be removed from the dehydration barrel 1.

[0032] More specifically, when the fruits and vegetables are dehydrated, the dehydration basket 6 rotates to throw out the water, and the fan 11 blows air to the fruits and vegetables to quickly dry them. When the dehydration barrel 1 needs to be cleaned, the rotating ring 13 rotates, and the rotating ring 13 drives the cleaning plate 14 to rotate, thereby scraping and cleaning the inside of the dehydration barrel 1.

[0033] See also Figure 1-5 As an implementation method for cleaning the dehydration barrel 1: a second motor 15 is fixedly provided on the cover body 7, and the driving end of the second motor 15 passes through the cover body 7 and is fixedly connected to a gear column 16, and a gear ring 17 matching the gear column 16 is provided on the inner side of the rotating ring 13, and two support plates 18 are symmetrically provided at the lower end of the cover body 7, and the two support plates 18 are fixedly connected to an annular water spray pipe 19, and a plurality of nozzles 20 are provided on the water spray pipe 19, and a water inlet pipe 21 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the water spray pipe 19, and the upper end of the water inlet pipe 21 passes through the cover body 7 and extends to the outside of the cover body 7.

[0034] Specifically, the second motor 15 is started, and the second motor 15 drives the gear column 16 to rotate. Since the gear column 16 is meshed and connected with the gear ring 17, the gear ring 17 drives the rotating ring 13 to rotate, and the rotating ring 13 drives the cleaning plate 14 to rotate. The cleaning plate 14 contacts the inside of the dehydration barrel 1, thereby scraping and cleaning the impurities adhered to the inside of the dehydration barrel 1. At the same time, the water inlet pipe 21 is connected to the hose of the external water source. Clean water enters the water spray pipe 19 from the water inlet pipe 21, and then is sprayed out through a plurality of nozzles 20 to spray and clean the dehydration barrel 1. The dehydration basket 6 can be cleaned by flushing after it is removed from the dehydration basket 6 and the fruits and vegetables are dumped.

[0035] See also Figure 1-5 As an implementation method for automatically opening the cover body 7: a plurality of support columns 22 are fixedly provided at the lower end of the dehydration barrel 1, a base 23 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the plurality of support columns 22, a bracket 24 is fixedly provided on the base 23, two hydraulic cylinders 25 are provided on the bracket 24, and a driving end of each hydraulic cylinder 25 passes through the bracket 24 and is fixedly connected to the cover body 7.

[0036] Specifically, the hydraulic cylinder 25 is started, and the hydraulic cylinder 25 drives the cover body 7 to move upward, and the cover body 7 will drive the air inlet pipe 8, the water spray pipe 19, the second motor 15 and the gear column 16 to move upward, so that the gear column 16 is separated from the gear ring 17. On the contrary, when the hydraulic cylinder 25 drives the cover body 7 to move downward for closing, the cover body 7 will drive the gear column 16 to move downward, and at the same time, the gear column 16 is meshed and connected with the gear ring 17.

[0037] In summary, when the overall equipment is in use:

[0038] When the cover body 7 needs to be opened, the hydraulic cylinder 25 is started, and the hydraulic cylinder 25 drives the cover body 7 to move upward. The cover body 7 will drive the air inlet pipe 8, the water spray pipe 19, the second motor 15 and the gear column 16 to move upward, so that the gear column 16 is separated from the gear ring 17. On the contrary, when the hydraulic cylinder 25 drives the cover body 7 to move downward for closing, the cover body 7 will drive the gear column 16 to move downward, and at the same time, the gear column 16 is meshed and connected with the gear ring 17.

[0039] When the blanched fruits and vegetables need to be dehydrated, the cover 7 is opened and the fruits and vegetables are placed in the dehydration basket 6. Since the dehydration basket 6 is arranged in an annular shape, it can avoid piling up a lot of fruits and vegetables, thereby speeding up the dehydration of the fruits and vegetables. The cover 7 is closed, and the cover 7 drives the air inlet pipe 8 to move downward, so that the lower end of the air inlet pipe 8 extends into the hole in the middle of the dehydration basket 6. The first motor 3 is started, and the first motor 3 drives the rotating frame 2 to rotate. The rotating frame 2 drives the dehydration basket 6 to rotate through the mounting groove 4 and the mounting strip 5. Under the action of centrifugal force, the water on the fruits and vegetables is thrown out. A drainage pipe is provided at the lower end of the dehydration barrel 1. , the thrown water will flow down along the inner wall of the dehydration barrel 1 and be discharged from the drain pipe, and at the same time, the fan 11 is started, and the fan 11 filters the dust and other impurities through the filter 10, and then enters the air inlet pipe 8, and then blows out from the lower end of the air inlet pipe 8 to blow air on the fruits and vegetables to air-dry them. The air after air drying is discharged from the air outlet pipe 12. The inclined setting of the air outlet pipe 12 can prevent the water from being discharged from the air outlet pipe 12 during the dehydration process. The installation frame 9 can be rotated regularly so that the installation frame 9 can be removed from the air inlet pipe 8, and the installation frame 9 drives the filter 10 to be removed, which can be replaced or cleaned. When the dehydration is completed, open the cover 7, pull the dehydration basket 6 upward, so that the dehydration basket 6 drives the installation bar 5 to move out of the installation slot 4, so that the dehydration basket 6 drives the dehydrated fruits and vegetables to be removed from the dehydration barrel 1.

[0040] When it is necessary to clean the dehydration barrel 1 after a single dehydration, the cover 7 is closed and the second motor 15 is started. The second motor 15 drives the gear column 16 to rotate. Since the gear column 16 is meshed and connected with the gear ring 17, the gear ring 17 drives the rotating ring 13 to rotate, and the rotating ring 13 drives the cleaning plate 14 to rotate. The cleaning plate 14 contacts the inside of the dehydration barrel 1, thereby scraping and cleaning the impurities adhered to the inside of the dehydration barrel 1. At the same time, the water inlet pipe 21 is connected to the hose of the external water source. Clean water enters the water spray pipe 19 from the water inlet pipe 21, and then is sprayed out through multiple nozzles 20 to spray and clean the dehydration barrel 1. The dehydration basket 6 can be cleaned by flushing after it is removed from the dehydration basket 6 and the fruits and vegetables are dumped.

[0041] In all the schemes mentioned above, the connection between two parts can be selected according to actual conditions by welding, bolt and nut matching connection, bolt or screw connection or other well-known connection methods, which are not described here one by one. In the above, all fixed connections are preferably welded. Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by ordinary technicians in this field that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the utility model.
