Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, and particularly relates to a raw material drying device for processing black goji berries. Background Technique

[0002] Black goji berries are a precious medicinal and edible plant. Due to their rich anthocyanins and various nutrients, they are highly favored by the market and have effects such as antioxidation and improving immunity. Therefore, they are widely used in the fields of food and health products. However, during the picking and storage of black goji berries, necessary processing is required. Among them, drying is one of the key steps in the processing of black goji berries. Reasonable drying can not only effectively extend the shelf life of black goji berries, but also maintain the integrity of their nutrients and appearance.

[0003] Most traditional black goji berry drying methods rely on simple natural drying or traditional drying equipment. Such equipment usually lacks a hot air circulation system, resulting in uneven heat distribution in the box, making the drying effect of black goji berries unstable. Some areas may be over-dried, while other areas still contain too much moisture. This uneven drying will not only affect the quality of black goji berries, but may also cause problems such as mildew. In addition, traditional drying equipment usually cannot effectively remove the water vapor generated during the drying process. The accumulation of humidity further reduces the drying efficiency, affects the drying degree of black goji berries, and ultimately affects the quality of the product. Content of the Utility Model

The first conveyor belt 1 is used to convey the black goji berry raw materials from the starting position into the drying box 2, and realizes the automatic transmission of the raw materials through continuous conveying actions. The drying box 2 provides a closed space for the entire drying process, ensuring the effective utilization of heat in the box and avoiding heat loss. The drying mechanism 3 is responsible for generating circulating hot air and drying the raw materials. The heat insulation layer 301 is used to reduce heat loss and ensure the stability of the temperature inside the box. The air return port 302 is used to guide the air inside the box to flow back to the heating system for circulation. The air inlet 303 is used to introduce the heated air into the inside of the drying box. The barrier net 304 is used to filter the particles in the air to prevent impurities from entering the drying environment and affecting the drying effect. The air inlet pipe 305 is used to connect the air source and the drying box to convey the heated air to the drying box.

[0025] The other end of the air inlet pipe 305 is provided with a heating box 306. Inside the heating box 306, there is a heat conduction pipe 307. An outer ring of the heat conduction pipe 307 is provided with a heating device 308. The air inlet pipe 305 is communicated with the heat conduction pipe 307. A blower 309 is arranged on the left side of the heating box 306. A connecting pipe 310 is arranged between the heating box 306 and the blower 309. A return air pipe 311 is arranged between the blower 309 and the air return opening 302. The heating box 306 heats the air through the heat conduction pipe 307 and transmits it into the drying box. The heat conduction pipe 307 is used for efficiently conducting the heat generated by the heating device 308.

The drying mechanism 3 includes a heat preservation layer 301, which keeps the heat from dissipating easily during the heating process. First, the inside of the drying box 2 is preheated. The blower 309 is started, and the air is guided from the air inlet 303 through the air inlet pipe 305 to the heating box 306. When the air passes through the heat conduction pipe 307, it is heated by the heating device 308. Subsequently, the hot air enters the drying box 2 through the connecting pipe 310. The blower 309 blows the hot air from the air return port 302 into the inside of the drying box 2 through the air return pipe 311 to dry the raw material of black goji berries. The humidity sensor 312 monitors the humidity level inside the drying box 2 in real time.

The temperature sensor 313 monitors the temperature change inside the box in real time to ensure that the drying process is always carried out within the set temperature range. After drying is completed, the raw material of black goji berries is conveyed to the second conveyor belt 4 by the third conveyor belt 5 and finally conveyed out from the discharge port of the drying box 2. The whole process realizes an automated and continuous drying operation.
