Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Chinese medicinal material drying devices, and more specifically, to a device for drying ginseng fruit. Background Art
[0002] Fresh ginseng fruit is delicious, juicy, and rich in nutrients, but difficult to preserve. Traditionally, for long-term preservation, ginseng fruit is made into preserved fruit or juice. Because a lot of sugar or additives are added during the production and preservation of preserved fruit or juice, to eliminate the effects of these additives, fresh ginseng fruit is currently mostly preserved by direct drying. The ginseng fruit drying production line mainly includes refrigeration equipment, pre-treatment equipment, cleaning equipment, slicing equipment, disinfection equipment, tray loading equipment, multi-layer drying racks, room-temperature drying main equipment, nitrogen equipment, and measurement and control systems. Among them, drying is a key step in the ginseng fruit drying production process. The heating or freezing process of the drying method and the freezing method both have a certain impact on the quality and taste of the processed ginseng fruit, and the equipment used has not yet achieved fully automated operation. The room-temperature drying method uses heat conduction between the ginseng fruit slices and the surrounding environment to flip the ginseng fruit slices during the drying process, promoting the drying of the fresh ginseng fruit and achieving room-temperature drying of the ginseng fruit slices. How to achieve rapid flipping of ginseng fruit slices and automated operation under room-temperature drying conditions is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this application.

[0011] The utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0012] First, the utility model designs a drying structure according to the characteristics of ginseng fruit slices. By adjusting the height of the drying machine frame relative to the drying fixed frame, the ginseng fruit slices on each layer of the drying plate can be turned over for drying, and drying under normal temperature conditions and efficient turning over can be achieved, ensuring sufficient heat exchange on both sides, so that water molecules can quickly separate from the ginseng fruit, drying is uniform, and the drying quality of the ginseng fruit is improved.
[0013] Second, the trolley body can be provided with walking wheels for easy movement, and the frames can be stacked from bottom to top in sequence. One or more drying plates can be provided on each layer of the frame. The drying fixed rack and the drying motor rack can be provided with walking wheels for easy movement. In conjunction with the trolley body, the drying fixed rack is a door-shaped structure with a width and a height greater than the trolley body, which is convenient for forming an enclosing structure. The axle of the fixed rack power gear is installed on the drying fixed rack through a bearing. The drying fixed rack has an airtight space for installing the fixed rack power gear. The fixed rack power motor drives the fixed rack power gear to rotate. The drying motor rack is a π-shaped structure with a width and a height greater than the trolley body and smaller than the drying fixed rack, which is convenient for forming an enclosing structure and cooperating with the drying fixed rack at the same time. The vertical rack provided on the drying motor rack is engaged with the fixed rack power gear. The fixed rack power gear rotates, and the drying motor rack moves with the vertical rack. The lifting and lowering movement of the rack drives the flipping assembly to lift and lower. In addition, the horizontal frame of the drying machine frame is slidably connected to the guide vertical groove to ensure the stable lifting of the drying machine frame. The number of flipping assemblies can be set to multiple, and one drying plate corresponds to at least one. The flipping main shaft is connected to the flip vertical plate, the flip main board, and the flip motor in sequence. It is fixed with the flip vertical plate to facilitate the rotation of the flip vertical plate. It is connected to the flip main board bearing to facilitate the rotation relative to the flip main board and synchronously move laterally with the flip main board. It is fixed with the flip motor to facilitate the rotation of the flip main shaft. A guide arc groove is provided on the flip main board, and a flip sub-shaft is provided on the back of the flip vertical plate. The flip sub-shaft slides in the guide arc groove. When the flip main shaft rotates, the flip vertical plate rotates accordingly, and the flip sub-shaft slides in the guide arc groove accordingly. The gap between the flip horizontal plate and the flip rotating shaft forms a accommodating space for ginseng fruit slices.
[0014] Third, when in use, arrange the ginseng fruit slices on the drying tray, and adjust the number of layers according to demand. When it needs to be turned over after drying for a certain period of time, move the drying fixed rack to the periphery of the rack body, adjust the height of the drying machine rack, make the turning horizontal plate close to the drying tray below, and move the turning main board horizontally in one direction so that the ginseng fruit slices are located between the turning horizontal plate and the turning shaft, adjust the angle of the turning main shaft, and raise the drying machine rack at the same time so that the turning horizontal plate carrying the ginseng fruit slices rotates to be perpendicular to the drying tray, and then continues to rotate until the ginseng fruit slices and the drying tray form an obtuse angle, so that the turning main board moves horizontally in the opposite direction quickly, and the turned ginseng fruit slices break away from the gap between the turning horizontal plate and the turning shaft and fall onto the drying tray.
[0015] Fourth, the width of the flipping plate is relatively large, making it easier to lift the dried ginseng fruit and ensuring the flipping operation is carried out. The flipping main board is slidably installed through the flipping block. The horizontal rack set on the vertical block of the flipping block meshes with the power gear of the motive frame. When the power gear of the motive frame rotates, the flipping block moves laterally with the horizontal rack, driving the flipping main board to move laterally, driving the flipping main shaft and the flipping horizontal board to move laterally. In addition, the horizontal block of the flipping block is slidably connected to the guide groove to ensure the stable lateral movement of the flipping block.
