Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food truck drying, in particular to a food truck drying device with a drainage slope. Background Technique

[0002] A food truck is a box-shaped cart used to transport meals on an airplane flight. In meal production, flight catering enterprises need to clean a large number of food trucks. To ensure food safety, the food trucks used to assemble meals need to be kept dry without water accumulation after cleaning. The existing methods for drying food trucks mostly use static cooperation with manual wiping. This method is simple to operate and has a low operation cost. However, the problems are that the drying speed is slow and the wiping and cleaning strength is insufficient when drying statically, which poses a food safety hazard and cannot be efficiently applied to the drying of a large number of food trucks.

[0003] Therefore, in view of this problem, the existing design proposes a food truck drying warehouse, that is, moving the cleaned food truck into the drying warehouse and using high-temperature gas to dry the truck. However, the inner bottom of the existing drying warehouse is horizontal. When the cleaned food truck is transferred into the warehouse, it will carry some moisture, and then under the action of gravity, it will fall into the drying warehouse. Due to the lack of the ability to control and transfer liquids, it is easy to cause liquids to remain in the warehouse and requires a long time of high temperature to remove them. In this way, it will cause waste of high-temperature gas.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present technical solution proposes a food truck drying device with a drainage slope. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a food truck drying device with a drainage slope to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides the following technical solution: A food truck drying device with a drainage slope, including a food truck drying box. One side of the top of the food truck drying box is installed with a PTC heating system. The PTC heating system operates to input high-temperature gas into the interior of the food truck drying box. One side of the front of the food truck drying box is provided with a food truck inlet and outlet. The washed food truck transferred into the food truck drying box is quickly dried under the drying of the high-temperature gas. A set of drainage slopes in the shape of a right triangle are arranged at the inner bottom of the food truck drying box. Under the guidance of the drainage slope, when the water on the food truck is transferred to the drainage slope, it is concentrated and transferred to the low end of the drainage slope for collection. Upper positioning wheel grooves and lower positioning wheel grooves with the same height are respectively arranged on both sides of the inclined surface of the drainage slope, which are used for the food truck to be accurately and stably placed inside the food truck drying box for moving drying. A water collecting tank is arranged at the low end of the drainage slope. Multiple uniformly distributed drainage holes are arranged in the middle of the water collecting tank and open towards the outside of the food truck drying box. By using the guiding of the inclined surface of the drainage slope and the collection of the water collecting tank, the water on the food truck is automatically discharged through the drainage holes in a concentrated manner.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are: By arranging a drainage slope at the inner bottom of the food truck drying box, the water on the food truck is automatically collected and discharged in a centralized manner, improving the drying speed of the food truck and reducing the drying loss of high-temperature gas to water.

[0008] By arranging upper positioning wheel grooves and lower positioning wheel grooves on the drainage slope, the input food truck moves in a horizontal and normal state, that is, reducing the risk of the food truck tilting on the drainage slope and increasing the stability during the drying of the food truck.

[0017] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-4, A food truck drying device with a drainage slope, comprising a food truck drying box 10. On one side of the top of the food truck drying box 10, a PTC heating system 11 is installed and set. The PTC heating system 11 operates to input high-temperature gas into the interior of the food truck drying box 10. On one side of the front of the food truck drying box 10, a food truck inlet and outlet is provided. The washed food truck transferred into the interior of the food truck drying box 10 is quickly dried under the drying of the high-temperature gas. At the bottom of the interior of the food truck drying box 10, a set of drainage slopes 12 in a right-angled triangle structure is provided. Under the guidance of the drainage slopes 12, when the moisture on the food truck transfers to the drainage slopes 12, it centrally transfers and collects towards the low end of the drainage slopes 12. On both sides of the inclined surface of the drainage slopes 12, an upper positioning wheel groove 13 and a lower positioning wheel groove 14 with the same height are respectively provided, which are used for the food truck to be accurately and stably placed inside the food truck drying box 10 for moving and drying. At the low end of the drainage slopes 12, a water collecting tank is provided. In the middle of the water collecting tank, a plurality of uniformly distributed drainage holes 23 are provided towards the outside of the food truck drying box 10. By using the guiding of the inclined surface of the drainage slopes 12 and the collection of the water collecting tank, the moisture on the food truck is automatically discharged through the drainage holes 23 centrally.

[0019] In the embodiment of the present invention, the groove widths of the upper positioning wheel groove 13 and the lower positioning wheel groove 14 are set within a certain range so that they can be applicable to the movement of food truck tires with various widths at the same time; at the same time, since the upper positioning wheel groove 13 is provided at the high place of the drainage slope 12 and the lower positioning wheel groove 14 is provided at the low place of the drainage slope 12, in order to keep the top heights of the two groups the same and keep the moisture on the drainage slope 12 transferring towards the water collecting tank normally, the upper positioning wheel groove 13 is set as an arc structure opened on the drainage slope 12. The bottom of the lower positioning wheel groove 14 is connected with a support mesh plate fixed on the inclined surface of the drainage slope 12. The top of the lower positioning wheel groove 14 is also set as an arc structure. The inner bottom heights of the upper positioning wheel groove 13 and the lower positioning wheel groove 14 are the same. A plurality of water permeable holes 24 are provided at the inner bottom of the lower positioning wheel groove 14, that is, the moisture placed on the lower positioning wheel groove 14 transfers downward along the water permeable holes 24 and then passes through the support mesh plate and continues to transfer towards the water collecting tank;

[0020] Specifically, in order to keep the moisture on the drainage slope 12 transferring towards the water collecting tank sufficiently, a plurality of diversion grooves 22 are provided at equal intervals along the length direction on the inclined surface of the drainage slope 12. The bottom ends of the diversion grooves 22 are connected with the water collecting tank. At the same time, the inner bottom of the upper positioning wheel groove 13 is communicated with the water collecting tank, so as to keep the moisture inside the upper positioning wheel groove 13 flowing directly downward along the diversion grooves 22;

[0021] Furthermore, to prevent local moisture inside the water collecting tank, the upper positioning wheel groove 13, and the lower positioning wheel groove 14 from flowing out along both ends thereof, V-shaped guide plates 21 are provided inside them. Under the guidance of the V-shaped guide plates 21, the water is transferred towards the middle of the water collecting tank, the upper positioning wheel groove 13, and the lower positioning wheel groove 14, and then flows through the drain holes 23 and the guide grooves 22.

[0022] It should be noted that for the PTC heating system 11, the process of generating high-temperature gas involves the conversion of electrical energy into thermal energy. Then, through the heating effect of the PTC heater, the heat is transferred to the surrounding medium, and finally high-temperature gas is generated. When the PTC heater is powered on, the current passes through the PTC ceramic heating element. Due to the positive temperature coefficient characteristic of the PTC material, its resistance increases with the increase in temperature, resulting in the generation of Joule heat in the PTC material. In this process, electrical energy is converted into thermal energy, causing the temperature of the PTC heater itself and the air in contact with it to rise. As the surface temperature of the heater increases, the surrounding air begins to absorb heat and the temperature gradually rises. When the heated air reaches a certain temperature, it will become high-temperature gas and can then be guided to the area that needs to be heated or discharged through the ventilation system. The above is the operating principle of the PTC heating system 11. For its structures, components, etc., since they belong to the prior art, they will not be elaborated here.

[0023] In an example of the present invention, a set of anti-collision isolation bars 15 are installed on the inner wall of the food truck drying box 10 on one side at the bottom end of the drainage slope 12. The anti-collision isolation bars 15 are used to prevent the food truck transferred into the food truck drying box 10 from contacting the inner wall of the food truck drying box 10 and causing collision damage to it. Due to the inclined structure of the drainage slope 12, when the food truck tilts, in most cases, it will swing towards the lower part. Therefore, it is sufficient to set the anti-collision isolation bars 15 on the inner wall of the food truck drying box 10 on the lower side of the drainage slope 12.

[0024] Specifically, a plurality of buffer bars 17 are evenly installed on the side of the anti-collision isolation bar 15 facing the side wall of the food truck drying box 10. An installation plate 16 is installed on the side wall of the food truck drying box 10 corresponding to the end of the buffer bar 17. A buffer cavity 20 is opened on the inner wall of the side wall of the installation plate 16 corresponding to the end of the buffer bar 17. A limit block 18 is installed at the end of the buffer bar 17 placed inside the buffer cavity 20. One side of the limit block 18 away from the buffer bar 17 is elastically connected to a spring 19. Under the elastic action of the spring 19, a buffer for a local distance is provided for the buffer bar 17, so as to ensure that when the anti-collision isolation bar 15 contacts the food truck, it has a certain protective buffering ability.

[0025] The outer surface of the anti-collision isolation bar 15 includes a layer of buffer pad for reducing the contact impact damage to the food truck.

[0026] It should be noted that for the volume of the drying box 10 of the food food truck, it can be designed to the required size according to the actual use needs. The specific dimensions are determined according to the actual requirements and will not be elaborated here.

[0027] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: At the idle place of the device, all the above-mentioned driving parts, which refer to power elements, electrical parts and the adapted power supply, are connected by wires, and the electrical connection is completed in the order of the working sequence of each electrical part. The detailed connection means are well-known techniques in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not explain the electrical control. The food food truck after cleaning enters the drying box 10 of the food food truck along the food food truck inlet and outlet. At the same time, the two side tires of the food food truck move along the upper positioning wheel groove 13 and the lower positioning wheel groove 14 to keep the food food truck horizontal. During the moving process and drying process, the water on the food truck drops onto the drainage slope 12 under the action of gravity, and then is transferred to the water collecting tank under the guidance of the diversion groove 22, the V-shaped diversion plate 21, etc., and is discharged outwards through the drain hole 23, ensuring that the water inside the drying box 10 of the food food truck is automatically cleaned and output under the action of gravity.

[0028] The above has made a detailed description of the preferred embodiment of this patent. However, this patent is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of this patent within the scope of knowledge of ordinary technicians in the art.
