Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coffee processing, in particular to an auxiliary drying device for coffee beans. Background Art

[0002] Coffee beans refer to the plant fruits used to make coffee. In the production process of coffee beans, the drying operation process is an important stage in the whole production of coffee beans, because it will affect the final quality of coffee beans.

[0003] At present, most coffee processing factories use automated machines to dry coffee beans. There are also some small processing factories that use natural drying methods to dry coffee beans in order to ensure the flavor of coffee. Among them, the natural drying method is mainly to place coffee beans on drying boards or drying racks and other plates in a sunroom for drying. Some fine dust or sundries need to be manually cleaned, which is very troublesome. And in order to ensure the drying effect, it is necessary to manually turn the coffee beans regularly to ensure uniform drying. Manual turning is time-consuming and laborious, which not only increases labor costs, but also reduces the drying efficiency to a certain extent.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the drying efficiency of coffee beans and reduce labor costs has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the utility model provides an auxiliary drying device for coffee beans, and the purpose is to improve the drying efficiency and reduce labor costs.

[0006] To achieve the above technical purpose, the utility model provides an auxiliary drying device for coffee beans, including a drying shell. Support legs are arranged at the bottom of the drying shell. A sliding sleeve is penetrated through one side of the drying shell. A dust guide pipe with both ends open and hollow inside is slidably connected in the sliding sleeve. One end of the dust guide pipe located inside the drying shell is communicated with a dust suction pipe with both ends sealed and hollow inside. A plurality of dust suction holes are arranged on the dust suction pipe. Both ends of the dust suction pipe are respectively connected with a rotating shaft, and a plurality of turning rods are arranged outside the rotating shaft.

[0007] One end of the dust guide pipe located outside the drying shell is connected with the suction port of a suction fan through a hose. The discharge port of the suction fan is communicated with a dust collection box through a dust discharge pipe. The dust collection box is fixedly connected with the drying shell.

[0008] A connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the dust guide pipe located outside the drying shell. One side of the connecting rod is fixedly connected with the output end of a telescopic rod. The fixed end of the telescopic rod is connected with the outer side wall of the drying shell.

[0009] Preferably, a number of turning rods near the dust suction pipe part are inclined and lengthened towards the dust suction pipe;

[0010] When the rotating shaft rotates, a number of the turning rods can turn the coffee beans on the drying shell on the back side of the dust suction pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the turning rods are made of soft materials.

[0012] Preferably, the dust guide pipe and the hose are detachably connected by a hose clamp.

[0013] Preferably, a cover plate is provided on the top of the dust collection box, an opening is provided on the cover plate, a sewage outlet is provided at the bottom of one side of the dust collection box, and a sewage valve is provided on the sewage outlet.

[0014] Advantages of the present utility model:

[0015] Due to the above structural design, compared with manually turning the coffee beans, the turning is more uniform and efficient, thereby reducing the labor cost and improving the drying efficiency; moreover, during the turning process of the coffee beans, the fine dust and sundries mixed in the coffee beans can be cleaned, further reducing the labor cost.

Detailed implementation manners

[0021] The following will further illustrate the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present utility model.

[0022] Embodiment:

[0023] As Figures 1 - 4As shown in the figure, the coffee bean auxiliary drying device includes a drying shell 1. Support legs 2 are provided at the bottom of the drying shell 1. A sliding sleeve 3 is penetrated through one side of the drying shell 1. A dust guide pipe 4 with both ends open and hollow inside is slidably connected in the sliding sleeve 3. One end of the dust guide pipe 4 located inside the drying shell 1 is communicated with a dust suction pipe 5 with both ends sealed and hollow inside. A plurality of dust suction holes 6 are provided on the dust suction pipe 5. The size of the dust suction holes 6 is smaller than the general size of coffee beans to prevent coffee beans from being sucked into the dust collection box 12. Both ends of the dust suction pipe 5 are respectively connected with a rotating shaft 7. A plurality of turning rods 8 are arranged outside the rotating shaft 7.

[0024] One end of the dust guide pipe 4 located outside the drying shell 1 is connected to the suction port of a suction fan 10 through a hose 9. The discharge port of the suction fan 10 is communicated with a dust collection box 12 through a dust discharge pipe 12. The dust collection box 12 is fixedly connected to the drying shell 1.

[0025] One side of the dust guide pipe 4 located outside the drying shell 1 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 13. One side of the connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of a telescopic rod 14. The fixed end of the telescopic rod 14 is connected to the outer side wall of the drying shell 1.

[0026] More specifically, as Figure 3 shown, in order to make up for the lack of some turning rods 8 of the dust suction pipe 5 and ensure more uniform turning of coffee beans, several turning rods 8 near the dust suction pipe 5 are inclined and lengthened towards the dust suction pipe 5. When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, several turning rods 8 can turn the coffee beans on the drying shell 1 on the back side of the dust suction pipe 5.

[0027] Furthermore, the turning rod 8 is made of a soft material such as rubber, PE or PVE to prevent scratching the coffee beans when turning the coffee beans.

[0028] In some embodiments, the dust guide pipe 4 and the hose 9 are detachably connected by a hose clamp, which is convenient for disassembly, so as to facilitate the internal cleaning of the dust guide pipe 4 and the hose 9 and avoid blockage.

[0029] In some embodiments, a cover plate 15 is provided on the top of the dust collection box 12. An opening is provided on the cover plate 15. Clean water can be added into the dust collection box 12 through the opening for better adsorption and collection of dust or sundries. A sewage discharge port 16 is provided at the bottom of one side of the dust collection box 12. A sewage discharge valve is provided on the sewage discharge port 16. Through the cooperation of the sewage discharge port 16 and the sewage discharge valve, it is convenient to clean the dust or sundries collected in the dust collection box 12.

[0030] The working principle of the present utility model:

[0031] The telescopic rod 14, in cooperation with the connecting rod 13, the dust guide pipe 4 and the dust suction pipe 5, can enable the rotating shaft 7 to move along with the telescopic rod 14, so that the turning rod 8 turns the coffee beans on the drying shell 1; while turning the coffee beans, the suction fan 10 can be started, and with the cooperation of the dust suction pipe 5, the dust suction holes 6, the dust guide pipe 4 and the hose 9, the fine dust and sundries mixed in the coffee beans can be collected into the dust collection box 12.

[0032] The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make many modifications and variations according to the concept of the present invention without creative work. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments on the basis of the prior art should be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
