Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural product processing, and more specifically, to a drying device based on cranberry processing. Background Art
[0002] Cranberries are mainly distributed in the northern United States and are also relatively common in the Greater Khingan Range region of China. They generally prefer a cool environment and have different soil requirements from other fruits, preferring acidic soil. Cranberries are easy to root in summer by stem cuttings and layering. They can be propagated by seeds or divided in autumn. Currently, when picking and processing cranberries, they need to be cleaned and dried. However, in order to improve drying efficiency, traditional drying equipment often stacks the cranberries in a thick layer during drying. As a result, after the cranberries on the bottom layer are heated, their water vapor is blocked from discharging upward, which in turn causes the cranberries on the top layer to form a blocking effect on the cranberries on the bottom layer. Since the water vapor on the bottom layer cannot be discharged in time, the bottom of the top layer is also damp. In order to completely dry the cranberries, it is necessary to increase the time and ventilation rate. In addition, the cranberries on the top are over-dried due to overheating, resulting in uneven heating. Therefore, it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a drying device based on cranberry processing, which has the advantage of uniform heating.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a drying device based on cranberry processing, comprising a box body, a storage basket movably installed inside the box body, fixed plates located at the bottom of the storage basket are fixedly installed on both sides of the interior of the box body, and the fixed plates support the storage basket, a first motor is fixedly installed inside the box body, the output shaft of the first motor passes through the fixed plate upward and is fixedly connected to a first protrusion, a reset mechanism is provided at the left end of the storage basket, a discharge pipe is provided at the bottom end of the box body, and an air inlet duct is provided at the right end of the box body, and the air inlet duct is located below the storage basket.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a movable plate is movably installed on the inner wall of the box body near the air inlet duct, and elastic mechanisms are provided at both ends of the movable plate. A second motor is fixedly installed on the front side of the box body, and the output shaft of the second motor extends to the interior of the box body and is fixedly installed with a rotating shaft. The outer surface of the rotating shaft is fixedly sleeved with a second protrusion and a third protrusion, and the third protrusion is located directly above the movable plate.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the reset mechanism includes a cross bar fixedly installed on the left end of the storage basket, the left end of the cross bar passes through the box body and is fixedly installed with a limit plate, and the outer surface of the cross bar is sleeved with a first spring elastically connected between the box body and the storage basket.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the elastic mechanism includes fixed blocks fixedly installed on both sides of the movable plate, the bottom end of the fixed block is fixedly installed with a vertical rod, the bottom end of the vertical rod passes downward through the box body, and the outer surface of the vertical rod is sleeved with a second spring elastically connected between the box body and the fixed block.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the number of the second protrusions is two, and the two second protrusions are in opposite directions.
[0009] As an optimal technical solution of the present invention, leakage holes are provided at the bottom end of the basket, and the leakage holes are evenly and densely distributed on the bottom surface of the basket. No leakage holes are provided at the position where the bottom surface of the basket contacts the second protrusion and the third protrusion, and the aperture of the leakage holes is millimeters.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the inner wall of the box body is provided with a transverse limit groove, and the outer wall of the basket is provided with a longitudinal limit groove, and limit blocks are slidably installed inside the transverse limit groove and the longitudinal limit groove.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0012] 1. The utility model drives the first protrusion to rotate through the operation of the first motor. When the first protrusion rotates to the point where the tip contacts the basket, the basket is squeezed, causing the basket to move to the left. At this time, the reset mechanism is squeezed and moves. As the first protrusion continues to rotate, the tip moves away from the basket, and then the basket is reset to its initial position by the reset mechanism. The cycle is repeated, so that the cranberries placed inside the basket can be subjected to a left and right swaying force, so that the water vapor after being heated at the bottom layer of the cranberries can spread upward, avoiding the obstruction of the cranberries on the top layer, so that the water vapor can be smoothly dissipated upward, thereby improving the overall drying degree of the device.
[0013] 2. The utility model drives the rotating shaft, the second protrusion and the third protrusion to rotate by the second motor. At this time, since the tip position of the third protrusion contacts the movable plate, it will exert a downward squeezing force on the movable plate, causing the movable plate to move downward. Then, when the tip part of the third protrusion is separated from the movable plate, the movable plate is reset due to the action of the elastic mechanism, thereby achieving an intermittent effect on the ventilation of the air inlet pipe through the movable plate, so that the cranberry crumbs or other small particles of impurities inside the basket will fall into the interior of the box body, and then fall during the ventilation interruption and be discharged outwardly through the discharge pipe, which not only achieves good ventilation and drying, but also facilitates the discharge of crumbs or other small particles of impurities, thereby improving work efficiency and ensuring the quality of the cranberries.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the utility model provides a drying equipment based on cranberry processing, including a box body 1, a storage basket 2 is movably installed inside the box body 1, and fixed plates 3 located at the bottom end of the storage basket 2 are fixedly installed on both sides of the interior of the box body 1, and the fixed plates 3 support the storage basket 2. A first motor 4 is fixedly installed inside the box body 1, and the output shaft of the first motor 4 passes through the fixed plate 3 and is fixedly connected to the first protrusion 5. A reset mechanism is provided at the left end of the storage basket 2, a discharge pipe 22 is provided at the bottom end of the box body 1, and an air inlet pipe 21 is provided at the right end of the box body 1. The air inlet pipe 21 is located below the storage basket 2; the discharge pipe 22 is in a closed state during the drying operation, and the debris will be stored in the interior of the box body 1. When the drying is completed, the discharge pipe 22 is opened to discharge the debris.
[0024] After the staff washes the cranberries, they add a large amount of cranberries that need to be dried and put them into the basket 2. At this time, the staff introduces hot dry air into the box body 1 through the air inlet pipe 21. The wind flows upward inside the box body 1, passes through the basket 2 and is emitted upward. The first motor 4 is started. Due to the operation of the first motor 4, the first protrusion 5 will be driven to rotate. When the first protrusion 5 rotates to the point where the tip surface contacts the basket 2, it will squeeze the basket 2, causing the basket 2 to move to the left. At this time, the reset mechanism is squeezed and moves. As the first protrusion 5 continues to rotate, the tip part moves away from the basket 2, and then the basket 2 is reset to its initial position by the reset mechanism. The cycle is repeated, so that the cranberries placed in the basket 2 can be subjected to the left and right lateral shaking force, so that the water vapor after being heated at the bottom of the cranberries can spread upward, avoiding the obstruction of the cranberries on the top layer, so that the water vapor can be smoothly emitted upward, thereby improving the overall drying degree of the device.
[0025] A movable plate 17 is movably mounted on the inner side wall of the box body 1 near the air inlet duct 21. Elastic mechanisms are provided at both ends of the movable plate 17. A second motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the front of the box body 1. The output shaft of the second motor 13 extends into the interior of the box body 1 and is fixedly mounted with a rotating shaft 14. A second protrusion 15 and a third protrusion 16 are fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 14. The third protrusion 16 is located directly above the movable plate 17.
[0026] The staff starts the second motor 13. Due to the operation of the second motor 13, the rotating shaft 14, the second protrusion 15 and the third protrusion 16 will be driven to rotate. At this time, due to the rotation of the third protrusion 16, the tip of the third protrusion 16 contacts the movable plate 17, which will exert a downward squeezing force on the movable plate 17, causing the movable plate 17 to move downward. Then, when the tip of the third protrusion 16 is disengaged from the movable plate 17, the movable plate 17 is reset due to the action of the elastic mechanism, thereby achieving an intermittent effect on the ventilation of the air inlet pipe 21 through the movable plate 17, so that the cranberry debris or other small particles of impurities inside the basket 2 will fall into the interior of the box body 1, and then fall during the ventilation interruption and be discharged outwardly through the discharge pipe 22, which not only achieves good ventilation and drying, but also facilitates the discharge of debris or other small particles of impurities, thereby improving work efficiency and ensuring the quality of the cranberries.
[0027] The reset mechanism includes a crossbar 6 fixedly mounted on the left end of the basket 2. The left end of the crossbar 6 passes through the box 1 and is fixedly mounted with a limit plate 7. The outer surface of the crossbar 6 is sleeved with a first spring 8 elastically connected between the box 1 and the basket 2.
[0028] Due to the design of the first spring 8, when the basket 2 moves to the left, the cross bar 6 and the limit plate 7 will move to the left together. At this time, the basket 2 will squeeze the first spring 8, so that the first spring 8 is in a state of elastic compression. Then, when the first protrusion 5 stops squeezing the basket 2, the elastic force of the first spring 8 will restore the basket 2 and push it back to its original position.
[0029] Among them, the elastic mechanism includes a fixed block 18 fixedly installed on both sides of the movable plate 17, a vertical rod 19 fixedly installed on the bottom end of the fixed block 18, the bottom end of the vertical rod 19 downwardly penetrates the box body 1, and the outer surface of the vertical rod 19 is sleeved with a second spring 20 elastically connected between the box body 1 and the fixed block 18.
[0030] When the movable plate 17 is squeezed and moves downward, the fixed block 18 will move together with the vertical rod 19. At this time, the second spring 20 is squeezed and is in an elastic compression state. Then, due to the elastic recovery effect of the second spring 20, the movable plate 17 will be pushed upward to reset it.
[0031] There are two second bumps 15 , and the two second bumps 15 are in opposite directions.
[0032] Due to the design of the second protrusion 15, when the second motor 13 is started, the second protrusion 15 is driven by the second motor 13 to rotate. At this time, since the two second protrusions 15 are in opposite directions, the rotation of the second protrusion 15 will exert an upward driving force on the basket 2, causing the basket 2 to bump up and down, so that the water vapor in the basket 2 is promptly dissipated upward, and the debris in the basket 2 is also discharged downward, thereby completing the drying process while ensuring the quality of the cranberries.
[0033] Among them, leakage holes 9 are opened at the bottom end of the storage basket 2, and the leakage holes 9 are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the storage basket 2. There are no leakage holes 9 at the position where the bottom surface of the storage basket 2 contacts the second protrusion 15 and the third protrusion 16. The aperture of the leakage hole 9 is 2 mm.
[0034] Due to the distribution characteristics of the leakage holes 9, the leakage holes 9 can not only clear the hot dry air, but also discharge the debris.
[0035] The inner wall of the box body 1 is provided with a transverse limiting groove 10, and the outer wall of the basket 2 is provided with a longitudinal limiting groove 11. A limiting block 12 is slidably installed inside the transverse limiting groove 10 and the longitudinal limiting groove 11.
[0036] Due to the design of the transverse limiting groove 10 and the longitudinal limiting groove 11, the basket 2 can be effectively limited when it is swayed left and right and up and down, so that the basket 2 moves more smoothly.
[0037] The working principle and use process of this utility model:
[0038] After the staff wash the cranberries, they add a large amount of cranberries that need to be dried and put them into the basket 2. At this time, the staff introduces hot dry air into the box body 1 through the air inlet pipe 21. The air flows upward inside the box body 1, passes through the basket 2 and is emitted upward. The first motor 4 is started. Due to the operation of the first motor 4, the first protrusion 5 is driven to rotate. When the first protrusion 5 rotates until the tip surface contacts the basket 2, it squeezes the basket 2, causing the basket 2 to move to the left. At this time, the reset mechanism is squeezed and moves. As the first protrusion 5 continues to rotate, the tip part moves away from the basket 2. Then, the basket 2 is reset to its initial position by the reset mechanism, and the cycle repeats.
[0039] Start the second motor 13. Due to the operation of the second motor 13, the rotating shaft 14, the second protrusion 15 and the third protrusion 16 will be driven to rotate. At this time, due to the rotation of the third protrusion 16, the tip of the third protrusion 16 contacts the movable plate 17, which will exert a downward squeezing force on the movable plate 17, causing the movable plate 17 to move downward. Then, when the tip of the third protrusion 16 is disengaged from the movable plate 17, the movable plate 17 is reset due to the action of the elastic mechanism, thereby having an intermittent effect on the ventilation of the air inlet pipe 21 through the movable plate 17, so that the cranberry crumbs or other small particles of impurities inside the basket 2 will fall into the interior of the box body 1, and then fall during the ventilation interruption and be discharged outward through the discharge pipe 22.
