[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-5, A cooling mechanism for zongzi processing, including a transport platform 1, a guide plate 2, a rotating drying mechanism, a rotating guiding mechanism, and a diversion and collection mechanism. The rotating drying mechanism includes a rotating frame 3, a rotating motor 4, a main gear 5, a driven gear 6, a transmission chain 7, a rotating shaft 8, and an air-drying component 9. The rotating frame 3 is installed on the top end surface of the transport platform 1. The rotating motor 4 is installed on the rotating frame 3. The main gear 5 is installed at the output end of the rotating motor 4. The rotating shafts 8 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the air-drying component 9. The driven gear 6 is installed on one rotating shaft 8, and the transmission chain 7 connects the main gear 5 and the driven gear 6. The outlet end of the air-drying component 9 rotates on the top of the transport platform 1. The rotating guiding mechanism includes a rotating motor 10, a rotating rod 11, a guiding disk 12, a guiding groove 13, and a diversion plate 14. The guiding groove 13 is opened on the guiding disk 12. The guiding rod 26 rotates and slides in the guiding groove 13. One end of the rotating rod 11 is installed at the output end of the rotating motor 10. One end of the rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the guiding rod 26. The parallel diversion plates 14 are rotatably connected to the guide plate 2. The diversion plates 14 are rotatably connected to the longitudinal guiding rod 26.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the rotating motor 4 is started, through the meshing of the main gear 5 and the driven gear 6 and the drive of the transmission chain 7, the rotating shaft 8 starts to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 8 causes the outlet end of the air-drying component 9 to rotate on the top of the transport platform 1, thereby realizing uniform air-drying treatment of zongzi. The wind force and heat generated by the air-drying component 9 help remove the moisture in the zongzi and accelerate the cooling and drying process. When the rotating motor 10 is started, the guiding rod 26 is driven by the rotating rod 11 to rotate and slide in the guiding groove 13. The rotation of the guiding rod 26 causes the guiding disk 12 and the connected diversion plates 14 to rotate, thereby adjusting the flow direction and position of the zongzi. The diversion plates 14 are rotatably connected to the longitudinal guiding rod 26 to ensure that the zongzi maintains the correct flow direction and arrangement during the cooling process.

[0031] The diversion and collection mechanism includes a diversion frame 15, a diversion hopper 16, a through hole 17, and a collection box 18. The diversion frame 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the transport platform 1. The diversion hopper 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the diversion frame 15, and the diversion hopper 16 is inclined at one end of the transport platform 1. The through hole 17 is opened on the diversion frame 15. The collection box 18 is installed at the bottom of the diversion hopper 16, and the top opening of the collection box 18 is directly opposite to the through hole 17 of the diversion hopper 16.

[0032] In this embodiment, the zongzi enters the diversion hopper 16 under the guidance of the guide plate 2. The inclined design of the diversion hopper 16 enables the zongzi to slide into the collection box 18 naturally. The zongzi enters the collection box 18 through the through hole 17. The zongzi after cooling is collected and stored, ready for the next step of processing or packaging.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-5, as a supplementary implementation method of a cooling mechanism for zongzi processing for the rotating drying mechanism, the rotating guiding mechanism and the shunting and collecting mechanism: Support seats 19 are symmetrically installed at the top of the rotating frame 3, and the rotating shafts 8 at both ends of the air-drying assembly 9 are rotatably installed on the support seats 19. A conveyor belt assembly 20 is installed on the transport platform 1, and a conveyor belt motor 21 is installed on the side of the conveyor belt assembly 20. The guiding plate 2 is installed on the top of the conveyor belt assembly 20 and is fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the transport platform 1. The zongzi is placed inside the guiding plate 2. An installation plate 22 is installed on the side of the guiding disk 12, and the bottom of the rotating motor 10 is fixedly installed on the top end surface of the installation plate 22. A rotating frame 23 is installed at the bottom of the installation plate 22, and one end of the linkage rod 27 is rotatably arranged in cooperation with the rotating frame 23, and the other end of the linkage rod 27 is rotatably connected to the side of the guiding rod 26. Legs 24 are installed at the bottom of the transport platform 1, and support frames 25 are installed on both sides at the middle position of the transport platform 1, and the top of the support frame 25 is fixedly installed with the guiding disk 12.

[0034] More specifically, the zongzi is placed inside the guiding plate 2 on the transport platform 1. The conveyor belt motor 21 is started to drive the conveyor belt assembly 20 to convey the zongzi below the rotating drying mechanism. The zongzi passes under the rotating drying mechanism, and the wind force and heat of the air-drying assembly 9 help cool and dry the zongzi. Under the guidance of the rotating guiding mechanism, the zongzi maintains the correct flow direction and arrangement, and then enters the shunting and collecting mechanism. The zongzi enters the collecting box 18 through the shunting hopper 16 to complete the cooling process and wait for subsequent processing.

[0035] In summary, when the overall equipment is in use or operation: When the operation of the rotating drying mechanism is required, the rotating motor 4 is started. Through the meshing of the main gear 5 and the driven gear 6 and the drive of the transmission chain 7, the rotating shaft 8 starts to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 8 causes the outlet end of the air-drying assembly 9 to rotate on the top of the transport platform 1, so as to realize the uniform air-drying treatment of the zongzi. The wind force and heat generated by the air-drying assembly 9 help remove the moisture in the zongzi and accelerate the cooling and drying process.

[0036] When the operation of the rotating guiding mechanism is required, the rotating motor 10 is started. The guiding rod 26 is driven to rotate and slide in the guiding groove 13 through the rotating rod 11. The rotation of the guiding rod 26 causes the guiding disk 12 and the deflector 14 connected thereto to rotate, so as to adjust the flow direction and position of the zongzi. The deflector 14 is rotatably connected to the longitudinal guiding rod 26 to ensure that the zongzi maintains the correct flow direction and arrangement during the cooling process.

[0037] When the operation of the shunt collection mechanism is required, the zongzi enters the shunt hopper 16 under the guidance of the guide plate 2. The inclined design of the shunt hopper 16 enables the zongzi to slide naturally into the collection box 18. The zongzi enters the collection box 18 through the through hole 17. The zongzi after cooling is collected and stored, ready for the next step of processing or packaging.

[0038] The zongzi is placed inside the guide plate 2 and on the transport platform 1. The conveyor belt motor 21 is started, driving the conveyor belt assembly 20 to transport the zongzi under the rotating drying mechanism. The zongzi passes under the rotating drying mechanism. The wind force and heat of the air drying assembly 9 help the zongzi to cool and dry. Under the guidance of the rotating guide mechanism, the zongzi maintains the correct flow direction and arrangement, and then enters the shunt collection mechanism. The zongzi enters the collection box 18 through the shunt hopper 16, completes the cooling process, and waits for subsequent processing.

[0039] In all the solutions mentioned above, for the connection between two components, welding, connection with bolts and nuts, connection with bolts or screws, or other well-known connection methods can be selected according to the actual situation, which will not be elaborated one by one here. For those mentioned above that involve fixed connection, welding is preferably considered. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
