[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0026] Example:
[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a continuous dehydrator for fruits and vegetables comprises a shell 1, in which a dehydration barrel 10 is rotatably arranged, and a surface of the dehydration barrel 10 is provided with dehydration holes. The dehydration barrel 10 is made of a mesh plate with a mesh diameter of 2MM to remove moisture.
[0028] The dehydration barrel 10 is connected to a power mechanism, which can drive the dehydration barrel 10 to rotate. The power mechanism includes a main shaft 9, a motor 3 is connected to the top of the main shaft 9, the bottom of the main shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the housing 1, and a third bearing 13 is provided between the bottom of the main shaft 9 and the bottom of the housing 1. The motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the housing 1, the main shaft 9 is connected to the dehydration barrel 10 and can drive the dehydration barrel 10 to rotate, and the main shaft 9 is located at the inner center of the dehydration barrel 10 and is arranged through the dehydration barrel 10.
[0029] The top of the dehydration barrel 10 is provided with a feed inlet, the bottom is provided with a discharge port, a baffle 11 is provided at the lower part of the discharge port, the baffle 11 can close the discharge port, specifically, the discharge port is a circular opening, and the baffle 11 is a conical baffle 11. The baffle 11 is connected to a lifting mechanism, which can drive the baffle 11 to rise and fall, before and during dehydration, the baffle 11 rises to the highest position to close the discharge port, and after dehydration, the baffle 11 falls to the lowest position, leaving a gap between the baffle 11 and the discharge port of the dehydration barrel 10, and the dehydrated fruits and vegetables leak out from the gap, so that the material can be discharged quickly, and efficient work can be achieved.
[0030] The lifting mechanism includes four groups of cylinders 12 evenly distributed around the center of the dehydration barrel 10, each group includes two cylinders 12, the cylinders 12 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer shell 1, and the output end of the cylinder 12 is rotatably connected to the baffle 11. The baffle 11 is provided with a through hole and is sleeved on the outer surface of the main shaft 9 through the through hole.
[0031] Specifically, the output ends of the four groups of cylinders 12 are fixedly connected to the mounting ring 19, and the second bearing 18 is fixedly installed in the mounting ring 19. The second bearing 18 can be a thrust bearing, or a combination of a thrust bearing and a ball bearing. A hollow column 17 is fixedly arranged in the through hole of the baffle 11. The hollow column 17 is sleeved on the outer surface of the main shaft 9, and the second bearing 18 is arranged between the hollow column 17 and the mounting ring 19. When the baffle 11 rises to the highest position, it is pressed under the dehydration barrel 10 to close the dehydration barrel 10. When the dehydration barrel 10 rotates, the baffle 11 rotates with the dehydration barrel 10. The setting of the second bearing 18 can ensure that the baffle 11 rotates smoothly relative to the cylinder 12.
[0032] The hollow column 17 and the main shaft 9 have a 5mm clearance on one side, and the two can slide relative to each other to ensure that the baffle 11 can be lifted and lowered smoothly.
[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in order to ensure the stability of the dehydration barrel 10, four support rods 8 are fixedly connected inside the dehydration barrel 10, and the support rods 8 are fixedly connected to the support ring 20. The dehydration barrel 10 is fixedly connected to the main shaft 9 through the first bearing 16, and the first bearing 16 is installed in the support ring 20. The above structure can be set in two groups.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, a water retaining edge 15 is arranged on the outer side of the bottom of the dehydration barrel 10, and the water retaining edge 15 is arranged at a certain angle to the outer wall of the dehydration barrel 10, so as to facilitate the dehydration of the water.
[0035] The housing 1 is provided with a drain port 14 and an inspection door 4. The drain port 14 is used to discharge the moisture in the housing 1. After the inspection door 4 is opened, the staff can check the internal conditions.
[0036] The bottom of the shell 1 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 7, the top of the shell 1 is provided with a food delivery port 2, the bottom of the bracket 7 is provided with a food outlet 6, and a shock-absorbing pad 5 is provided between the shell 1 and the bracket 7 to ensure stable operation of the equipment.
[0037] The working process of the utility model is:
[0038] When feeding, the conical baffle 11 rises, supports the discharge port of the dehydration barrel 10, and rotates with the dehydration barrel 10 at a speed of about 100 rpm, and the vegetables enter the dehydration barrel 10 from the feeding port. During the feeding process, the dehydration barrel 10 keeps rotating at a low speed, so that the vegetables are evenly distributed in the dehydration barrel 10, reducing the eccentric force and achieving uniform feeding of vegetables;
[0039] After the feeding is completed, the dehydration barrel 10 rotates at a speed of about 400 rpm to centrifuge the water on the surface of the vegetables. The centrifugally spun water falls into the closed housing 1, flows into the confluence tank, and is finally discharged from the drain port 14;
[0040] When the drying reaches the set time, the dehydration barrel 10 reduces its speed to about 100 rpm, and at the same time the conical baffle 11 drops to the lowest position, and the material in the dehydration barrel 10 falls due to gravity and falls from the material outlet to the vegetable outlet 6.
[0041] During the operation of the utility model, the motor 3 is operated by speed regulation via a frequency converter, and the frequency converter is controlled by a PLC program, and different rotation speeds are used during feeding and drying.
[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the utility model can be applied to a clean vegetable processing line, which includes a continuous vegetable washing machine 21, a weighing elevator 22, a continuous dehydrating machine and a dish discharging elevator 23 which are arranged in sequence. The vegetables finished by the continuous vegetable washing machine 21 are sent to the dish delivery port 2 at the top of the outer shell 1 by the weighing elevator 22, and enter the dehydration barrel 10 for dehydration. The dehydrated vegetables finally fall onto the dish discharging elevator 23 below, and the dish discharging elevator 23 lifts the fallen vegetables to a certain height for convenient collection using a container.
