Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lentinula edodes processing, and particularly to a lentinula edodes drying machine. Background Art

[0002] In order to extend the storage time of lentinula edodes, fresh lentinula edodes is usually made into dried lentinula edodes by drying or sunning. For the conventional drying or sunning methods, before drying and sunning lentinula edodes, it needs to be cleaned and trimmed. During the cleaning process, since lentinula edodes has good water absorption, it will absorb a part of water after cleaning, thus increasing the drying time. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a lentinula edodes drying machine to solve the problem that when cleaning lentinula edodes before drying and sunning, the lentinula edodes will absorb a large amount of water, resulting in an increase in the drying and sunning time.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A lentinula edodes drying machine includes a cleaning device and a drying rack, and further includes: a conveyor and a pressing plate. The conveyor includes a first chain and a second chain arranged at the same height. A number of supporting rods are connected between the first chain and the second chain at equal intervals. Above the conveyor, there is a pressing plate that can move up and down in the vertical direction and whose plate surface faces the conveyor. The pressing plate is driven by an electric telescopic rod. The conveyor is provided with a first inlet end and a first outlet end respectively connected to the cleaning device and the drying rack.

[0006] Before drying and sunning lentinula edodes, it is necessary to perform a cleaning operation. During the cleaning process, due to its strong water absorption, lentinula edodes will absorb a large amount of water, thus resulting in an increase in the drying time. The lentinula edodes drying machine provided by the utility model uses the supporting plate of the conveyor as a clamping tool to clamp the lentinula edodes and convey the lentinula edodes to the lower part of the pressing plate through the conveyor. The water in the lentinula edodes is squeezed out by the pressing of the pressing plate, discharging the excess water absorbed by the lentinula edodes during the cleaning process, thereby reducing the subsequent drying or sunning time of the lentinula edodes, improving the dehydration efficiency of the lentinula edodes and reducing the energy cost during dehydration. At the same time, the entire squeezing and draining process is completed by the machine, with high automation.

[0007] Further, when the supporting rod is located below the pressing plate, the surface of the supporting rod facing the pressing plate is a flat surface.

[0008] By designing the surface of the supporting rod for supporting and clamping lentinula edodes on the supporting rod as a flat surface, the contact area between the supporting rod and the lower part of the lentinula edodes cap is increased. Compared with a cylindrical rod-shaped part, it can prevent the situation that the contact area between the lower part of the lentinula edodes cap and the supporting part is small, resulting in damage to the mushroom cap when being squeezed by the pressing plate.

[0009] Further, the conveyor member includes an inclined section and a horizontal section that are connected to each other. The inclined section slopes upward to the connection with the horizontal section, and a water trough with water flowing towards the conveyor member is provided between the cleaning device and the conveyor member.

[0010] The mushrooms conveyed by the cleaning device are placed in various ways. To ensure that the stalks of the mushrooms can be inserted into the gaps of the supporting rods, manual operation is required, which reduces the degree of automation of the device. By using water flow to transport the mushrooms from the cleaning device to the inclined section, under the action of the buoyancy of the water flow, the mushrooms are in the form of the mushroom caps on top and the stalks below during the conveying process, facilitating the insertion of the stalks of the mushrooms into the gaps and eliminating the need for manual operation, thereby enhancing the degree of automation of the device. The purpose of setting the inclined section is to prevent some mushrooms that have not been inserted into the supporting rods from being conveyed away due to the inclined slope of the conveyor member, ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0011] Further, it also includes a blocking member located above the inclined section, and there is a spacing between the blocking member and the surface of the inclined section.

[0012] When using the water trough to cooperate with the inclined section conveyor belt for conveying, there is a situation where some mushrooms that have not been inserted into the gaps of the supporting members are still carried away by the conveyor member. By setting the blocking member, the mushrooms on the inclined section that have not been inserted into the gaps of the supporting rods can be intercepted and swept into the water trough to ensure that the mushrooms to be squeezed later are all in the correct placement form, enhancing the squeezing and dehydration effect.

[0013] Further, the cleaning device is provided with a second outlet that is higher than the first inlet in the vertical direction, and a sieve is arranged between the second outlet and the first inlet in the vertical direction.

[0014] By setting a sieve at the outlet of the cleaning device, the specifications of the mushrooms to be processed can be screened to ensure that the mushrooms entering the conveyor member can be normally inserted into the gaps of the supporting members. Screening the size of the mesh holes of the sieve enables the device to have the function of screening the specifications of the mushrooms, further enhancing the functionality of the device.

[0015] Further, the sieve is connected to a vibrating member.

[0016] When using the sieve for screening, some mushrooms are likely to block the mesh holes due to their large volume and size. By connecting a vibrating member to the sieve, the sieve is made to vibrate based on the vibrating member, so that the mushrooms blocking the mesh holes can be shaken and cleared in time to avoid affecting the sieving process.

[0017] Further, the mesh holes of the sieve are circular.

[0018] Setting the mesh holes of the sieve to be circular is more suitable for the shape of the mushroom caps, facilitating sieving.

[0019] Further, the sieve is inclined and a collecting net is connected to the bottom end of the sieve.

[0020] By arranging the sieve in an inclined manner, the shiitake mushrooms that do not pass through the sieve can slide to the bottom of the sieve, preventing the shiitake mushrooms that do not meet the size requirements from accumulating on the sieve and thus affecting the normal operation of the device.

[0021] Further, the supporting rod is of a hollow structure and a cutter is slidably connected inside it, and the sliding direction of the cutter is horizontal.

[0022] By arranging a cutter in the supporting rod, the mushroom stalk can be cut off, further enhancing the functionality of the device.

[0023] Further, the cutter includes a cutter tip and a cutter handle end. The cutter handle end is connected to the inner wall of the supporting rod through a spring. The supporting rod is provided with a groove perpendicular to the moving direction of the cutter, and a slider that fits with the cutter handle end is slidably connected to the groove.

[0024] By using the downward pressure of the pressing member to push the slider, and then pushing the cutter to move to complete the cutting of the mushroom stalk, two operations of extrusion dehydration and mushroom stalk cutting are completed by the movement of one mechanism, realizing the integration of functions and achieving the purpose of streamlining the mechanism. In addition, after the pressing member is pressed down, it also serves as a fixing device for the mushroom during cutting, enhancing the stability of the mushroom during cutting.

[0025] One or more technical solutions provided by the present utility model have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0026] (1) For a shiitake mushroom drying machine provided by the present utility model, the supporting plate of the conveying member is used as a clamping tool to clamp the shiitake mushrooms and convey the shiitake mushrooms to below the pressing plate through the conveying member. The water in the shiitake mushrooms is squeezed out by the pressing of the pressing plate, discharging the excess water absorbed by the shiitake mushrooms during the cleaning process, thereby reducing the subsequent drying or drying time of the shiitake mushrooms, improving the dehydration efficiency of the shiitake mushrooms and reducing the energy cost during dehydration. At the same time, the entire extrusion and drainage process is completed by the machine, with high automation.

[0027] (2) For a shiitake mushroom drying machine provided by the present utility model, a cutter is arranged in the supporting rod to cut off the mushroom stalk, further enhancing the functionality of the device. And, by using the downward pressure of the pressing member to push the slider, and then pushing the cutter to move to complete the cutting of the mushroom stalk, two operations of extrusion dehydration and mushroom stalk cutting are completed by the movement of one mechanism, realizing the integration of functions and achieving the purpose of streamlining the mechanism. In addition, after the pressing member is pressed down, it also serves as a fixing device for the mushroom during cutting, enhancing the stability of the mushroom during cutting.

Detailed implementation manners

[0035] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0036] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present utility model. However, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described within the scope hereof. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , A shiitake mushroom drying machine provided by an embodiment of the present utility model includes a cleaning device 5 and a drying rack 6. The cleaning device 5 is an existing automatic shiitake mushroom cleaning device or is manually cleaned. The cleaned shiitake mushrooms are transported to the subsequent device through a flowing water tank. The drying rack 6 is a rack for placing shiitake mushrooms during existing drying or drying of shiitake mushrooms.

[0039] It further includes a conveyor 1 and a pressing plate 2. The conveyor 1 includes a first chain 101 and a second chain 102 arranged at the same height. A number of supporting rods 103 are connected between the first chain 101 and the second chain 102 at equal intervals. The connection can be a fixed connection or a detachable fixed connection. The detachable connection can be used to adjust the distance between adjacent supporting members 103. When the first chain 101 and the second chain 102 rotate, they drive the supporting members 103 to move, thereby realizing the transportation of shiitake mushrooms. Above the conveyor 1, there is a pressing plate 2 with its plate surface facing the conveyor 1. The pressing plate 2 is driven by an electric telescopic rod and can move in the vertical direction. The material of the pressing plate 2 can be plastic or stainless steel. The two ends of the conveyor 1 are respectively provided with a first inlet end and a first outlet end. The first inlet end is connected to the cleaning device 5, and the first outlet end is connected to the drying rack 6.

[0040] During use, after the shiitake mushrooms are cleaned by the cleaning device 5, they can be placed manually in the gap between two adjacent supporting rods 103 on the conveyor 1. The shiitake mushrooms are clamped and transported through the gaps of the supporting rods 103. When the shiitake mushrooms taken away by the conveyor 1 are transported under the pressing plate 2, the pressing plate 2 moves downward under the drive of the electric telescopic rod to press the shiitake mushrooms on the conveyor 1, and the water in the shiitake mushrooms is squeezed out through the pressing of the pressing plate, discharging the excess water absorbed by the shiitake mushrooms during the cleaning process, thereby reducing the subsequent drying or baking time of the shiitake mushrooms.

[0041] Alternatively, the conveyor 1 can be designed to include an inclined section 110 and a horizontal section 111 that are connected to each other, and the inclined section 110 slopes upward to the connection with the horizontal section. At the same time, a water chute 112 is arranged between the cleaning device 5 and the conveyor 1. The water in the water chute flows from the cleaning device 5 to the conveyor 1. The water flow is used to transport the shiitake mushrooms from the cleaning device 5 to the inclined section 110. Under the action of the buoyancy of the water flow, the shiitake mushrooms are in the form of the mushroom cap on top and the mushroom stalk on the bottom during the transportation process, which is convenient for the stalk of the shiitake mushroom to be inserted into the gap, achieving the effect of automatic transportation.

[0042] A blocking member 113 is arranged above the inclined section 110. There is a gap between the blocking member 113 and the surface of the inclined section 110. The blocking member 113 can be a round rod or a brush. When using the water chute 112 to cooperate with the inclined section conveyor for transportation, there is a situation where some shiitake mushrooms that are not inserted into the gaps of the supporting rods 103 are still taken away by the conveyor. By setting the blocking member 113, the shiitake mushrooms on the inclined section that are not inserted into the gaps of the supporting rods 103 can be intercepted and swept into the water chute 112 to ensure that the shiitake mushrooms to be squeezed subsequently are all in the correct placement form, improving the pressing and dehydration effect.

[0043] As a preferred solution, when the supporting rod 103 is located below the pressing plate 2, the surface of the supporting rod 103 facing the pressing plate 2 is a flat surface. The supporting rod can be a structural shape with a flat surface on the side wall of a cylinder or a prism shape. By designing the surface of the supporting rod for supporting and clamping the shiitake mushrooms as a flat surface, the contact area between the supporting rod and the lower part of the shiitake mushroom cap is increased. Compared with a cylindrical rod-shaped member, it can prevent the situation that the contact area between the lower part of the shiitake mushroom cap and the supporting member is small, resulting in damage to the mushroom cap when the pressing plate presses.

[0044] The cleaning device 5 is provided with a second outlet that is higher than the first inlet of the conveying member 1 in the vertical direction. In the vertical direction, between the first inlet and the second outlet, a sieve 3 is inclined. The shiitake mushrooms cleaned by the cleaning device 5 leave the cleaning device through the second outlet and fall on the sieve 3. The mesh size of the sieve 3 is adjustable. Through the sieve 3, the shiitake mushrooms to be processed can be screened by specifications, ensuring that the shiitake mushrooms entering the conveying member can be normally inserted into the gaps between adjacent supporting rods 103. By adjusting the size of the mesh of the sieve 3, the device is equipped with the function of screening the specifications of shiitake mushrooms, further improving the functionality of the device. The mesh of the sieve 3 is circular and the edges of the mesh are polished to fit the shape of the shiitake mushroom cap. The polishing treatment is to prevent the edges of the mesh from scratching the shiitake mushrooms during sieving.

[0045] The sieve 3 is connected with a vibrating member. Based on the vibrating member, the sieve 3 is shaken, so that the shiitake mushrooms blocking the mesh of the sieve 3 can be shaken and cleaned in time, avoiding affecting the sieving. The vibrating member can be a vibrating motor or an existing reciprocating motion device based on a crank-link mechanism.

[0046] In addition, collection nets are arranged at the bottom end of the sieve 103 and below the supporting rod 103. The collection net at the bottom end of the sieve 103 is used to collect the larger-sized shiitake mushrooms that do not pass through the sieve 103, and the collection net below the supporting rod 103 is used to collect the shiitake mushrooms that are too small to be clamped by the supporting member. The shiitake mushrooms in the collection net can complete the water squeezing operation by manual extrusion.

[0047] Embodiment 2

[0048] Please refer to Figure 5 , A shiitake mushroom drying machine provided by the present utility model on the basis of Embodiment 1, the supporting rod 103 is a hollow structure and a cutter 103 is slidably connected inside it. The sliding direction of the cutter 103 is the horizontal direction. When the shiitake mushrooms clamped and supported by the supporting member 103 are in the horizontal sliding of the cutter 103, the roots of the shiitake mushrooms are cut, thereby completing the trimming operation of the shiitake mushrooms.

[0049] Specifically, as Figure 5As shown, the cutting tool 103 includes a cutting tip 131 and a tool shank end 132. The tool shank end 132 is connected to the inner wall of the supporting rod 103 by a spring. At the same time, the supporting rod 103 is provided with a groove 133 perpendicular to the moving direction of the cutting tool 130. A slider that fits against the tool shank end is slidably connected in the groove. During operation, the pressing plate 2 moves downward. The top of the slider 134 is higher than the groove by a certain height. During the downward movement of the pressing plate 2, when the plate surface contacts the slider 134, it pushes the slider 134 to slide downward, and then pushes the tool shank end 132 to move horizontally. The cutting tip 131 moves horizontally out of the supporting rod to cut the roots of the mushrooms located in the gap between adjacent supporting rods 103 to complete the trimming. Subsequently, the pressing plate 2 moves upward. Under the action of the spring, the cutting tool 103 retracts into the supporting rod 103, and the slider also resets at the same time. Among them, the pressing action of the pressing plate 2 can also fix the mushrooms during the cutting of the cutting tool.

[0050] Among them, to ensure that the root trimming can be achieved for the mushrooms held at different positions on the supporting rod 103, the length of the cutting tool 103 is the same as the axial length of the supporting member.

[0051] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art can make additional changes and modifications to these embodiments once they learn the basic creative concept. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be construed to include the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.

[0052] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
