Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pepper processing machinery, in particular to a dry pepper air separator. Background Art

[0002] Traditional chili pepper processing often involves drying the collected peppers in the sun to obtain dried chilies for easy storage or as a special ingredient in various culinary dishes. However, due to the effects of wind, dust, and other factors during the natural drying process, the dried chilies are often contaminated with impurities such as stones, sand, and hair. Therefore, these impurities must be removed before storage or further processing. An existing method for removing impurities is to use an air separator, which uses wind to remove impurities. This method is simple and effective in removing impurities from dried chilies.

[0003] Existing dry chili air separators generally use a horizontally set feed bin to feed materials. As the dry chili in the feed bin decreases, the dry chili far away from the feed port of the air separator is likely to remain in the feed bin. In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model with publication number CN210847202U discloses a feeding device for a dry chili air separator (hereinafter referred to as prior art 1), comprising a feed bin provided at the feed port of the air separator, the discharge port of the feed bin corresponding to the feed port, and the side wall of the feed bin located at one end of the discharge port being hinged to the outer wall of the air separator; and also comprising a force-applying component, which is used to apply a force to the feed bin to achieve that the angle between the feed bin and the feed port decreases as the dry chili in the feed bin decreases.

[0004] Although the prior art 1 makes the feeding process more streamlined by setting a lifting feeding bin, the peppers become soft and shrink during the initial drying process and are difficult to turn over, resulting in uneven heating of the peppers; as a result, the moisture content of the peppers after drying varies greatly, affecting the quality of the dried peppers. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a dry chili air separator, which can perform secondary drying on the dry chili after air separation during actual use, thereby ensuring the quality of the dry chili and facilitating the subsequent storage or processing of the dry chili.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] A dry chili air separator comprises an air separation chamber and an air blowing device, wherein the air separation chamber is provided with a bending channel and a feeding channel, an air inlet channel, a discharging channel and a chip removal channel connected to the bending channel;

[0008] The bending channel is connected to the feeding channel, and the blowing device is connected to the air inlet end of the bending channel through the air inlet channel; the chip removal channel is connected to an exhaust device; a first heating plate is installed in the bending channel;

[0009] A second heating plate is installed in the air inlet channel.

[0010] Preferably, a spoiler is connected to the air inlet channel, and the second heating plate is installed on the spoiler.

[0011] Preferably, the spoilers are arranged in an upper and lower staggered manner.

[0012] Preferably, the spoiler is arranged to be inclined toward the bending channel.

[0013] Preferably, a support frame for supporting and fixing the air separation bin is installed on the air separation bin.

[0014] Preferably, the blowing device includes a blower and a first blowing pipe connected to the blower, and one end of the first blowing pipe away from the blower is installed on the air separation bin and is connected to the air inlet channel.

[0015] Preferably, a second blast pipe is connected to the first blast pipe, and one end of the second blast pipe away from the first blast pipe is installed on the air separation bin and communicated with the air inlet channel.

[0016] Preferably, a connecting plate is detachably mounted on the air inlet end of the air inlet channel, and ends of the first blower pipe and the second blower pipe away from the blower are mounted on the connecting plate.

[0017] Preferably, a heat-insulating layer is installed on the air separation bin.

[0018] Preferably, a feeding funnel is installed at the feeding end of the feeding channel, and a vibrator is installed on the feeding funnel.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] In the present invention, after the material enters the bent channel through the feed channel, it moves from top to bottom toward the discharge channel under the guidance of the bent channel; after the blowing device inputs airflow into the bent channel through the air inlet channel, under the action of the exhaust device, the airflow moves from bottom to top toward the chip removal channel under the guidance of the bent channel; when the material and the airflow move relative to each other under the guidance of the bent channel, impurities and debris in the material can be moved into the chip removal channel with the airflow and discharged; by providing the bent channel to guide the material and the airflow, the flow direction of the airflow can be made perpendicular to the moving direction of the material at the bend of the bent channel, thereby increasing the contact area between the airflow and the material, and further improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the airflow on impurities and debris in the material;

[0021] By setting the first heating plate, the material can be heated during the movement of the material, and the second heating plate installed in the air inlet channel can heat the airflow entering the air inlet channel, thereby realizing secondary drying of the dried peppers, avoiding the problem that the peppers are difficult to turn over and are unevenly heated in the first drying process, resulting in large differences in the moisture content of the dried peppers, thereby affecting the quality of the dried peppers.

Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention may repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] See Figure 1-Figure 3 This embodiment discloses an air separation device, specifically a dry chili air separation machine, comprising an air separation chamber 101 and an air blowing device 102. The air separation chamber 101 is provided with a bending channel 103 and a feeding channel 104, an air inlet channel 105, a discharging channel 106, and a chip removal channel 107 connected to the bending channel 103.

[0036] The bending channel 103 is connected to the feeding channel 104, and the blowing device 102 is connected to the air inlet end of the bending channel 103 through the air inlet channel 105; the chip removal channel 107 is used to connect to the exhaust device; a first heating plate 108 is installed in the bending channel 103;

[0037] A second heating plate 109 is installed in the air inlet channel 105 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the material enters the bending channel 103 through the feed channel 104 and moves from top to bottom toward the discharge channel 106 under the guidance of the bending channel 103; after the blowing device 102 inputs airflow into the bending channel 103 through the air inlet channel 105, the airflow moves from bottom to top toward the chip removal channel 107 under the guidance of the bending channel 103 under the action of the exhaust device; when the material and the airflow move relative to each other under the guidance of the bending channel 103, impurities and debris in the material can be moved to the chip removal channel 107 with the airflow and discharged; by setting the bending channel 103 to guide the material and the airflow, the flow direction of the airflow can be adjusted in the direction of the bending channel 103. The bending part of the curved channel 103 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the material, thereby increasing the contact area between the airflow and the material, and further improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the airflow on impurities and debris in the material; by setting the first heating plate 108, the material can be heated during the movement of the material, and the second heating plate 109 installed in the air inlet channel 105 can heat the airflow entering the air inlet channel 105, thereby realizing secondary drying of the dried peppers, avoiding the problem that the peppers are difficult to turn over and are unevenly heated in the initial drying process, resulting in a large difference in moisture content of the dried peppers, affecting the quality of the dried peppers; in this embodiment, the exhaust device is a conventional exhaust device in the prior art, and its structure and function are not elaborated here one by one.

[0039] In some embodiments, a spoiler 110 is connected to the air inlet channel 105, and the second heating plate 109 is mounted on the spoiler 110. There are multiple spoilers 110. By installing the spoilers 110 in the air inlet channel 105, the path of the airflow in the air inlet channel 105 can be increased, thereby increasing the heat exchange time between the airflow and the second heating plate 109 disposed on the spoiler 110, further improving the heating effect of the second heating plate 109 on the airflow.

[0040] In some embodiments, the spoilers 110 are staggered up and down. By staggering the spoilers 110 up and down, the path of the airflow in the air inlet channel 105 can be further increased, and the staggered spoilers 110 can direct the airflow to the surfaces of adjacent spoilers 110, further improving the heat exchange effect between the airflow and the second heating plate 109 disposed on the spoilers 110.

[0041] In some embodiments, the spoilers 110 are arranged obliquely toward the curved channel 103. Any of the spoilers 110 arranged alternately and inclined toward the curved channel 103 can guide the airflow entering the air inlet channel 105 to the surface of the adjacent spoiler 110, further improving the heat exchange effect between the airflow and the second heating plate 109 disposed on the spoiler 110.

[0042] In some embodiments, a support frame 111 is installed on the air separation bin 101 for supporting and fixing the air separation bin 101. The support frame 111 can facilitate the operator to take out the air-selected and dried material through the discharge channel 106 provided at the bottom of the air separation bin 101.

[0043] In some embodiments, the blowing device 102 includes a blower 112 and a first blower pipe 113 connected to the blower 112. The end of the first blower pipe 113 away from the blower 112 is installed on the air separation bin 101 and communicates with the air inlet channel 105. The blower 112 inputs airflow into the air inlet channel 105 through the first blower pipe 113.

[0044] In some embodiments, a second blast pipe 114 is connected to the first blast pipe 113. The end of the second blast pipe 114, remote from the first blast pipe 113, is mounted on the air separation chamber 101 and communicates with the air inlet channel 105. The provision of the second blast pipe 114 can increase the amount of air entering the air inlet channel 105. The multiple air intake points of the first and second blast pipes 113, 114 make the airflow entering the air inlet channel 105 more evenly distributed, reducing dead spots and vortex areas.

[0045] In some embodiments, a connecting plate 115 is detachably mounted on the air inlet end of the air inlet channel 105, and the ends of the first and second blast pipes 113, 114, which are away from the blower 112, are mounted on the connecting plate 115. The connecting plate 115 is detachably connected to the air separation chamber 101 via bolts. The provision of the connecting plate 115 facilitates installation and removal of the first and second blast pipes 113, 114, and also facilitates cleaning of the air inlet ducts by the user.

[0046] In some embodiments, a heat-insulating layer 116 is installed on the air separation bin 101. The heat-insulating layer 116 can prevent heat loss and ensure the heating effect of the first heating plate 108 and the second heating plate 109 on the material and the airflow.

[0047] In some embodiments, a feeding hopper 117 is installed at the feeding end of the feeding channel 104, and a vibrator 118 is installed on the feeding hopper 117. The vibrator 118 can prevent the material from clogging and accumulating at the opening of the feeding hopper 117.

[0048] In some embodiments, a cyclone separator is connected to the chip removal channel 107, the exhaust device is mounted on the cyclone separator, and the cyclone separator is provided with a return air duct for connection to the first blast pipe 113. In this embodiment, the cyclone separator is a conventional separation device in the prior art. After the exhaust device is activated, impurities and debris in the material enter the cyclone separator through the chip removal channel 107 for separation. After the debris and airflow are separated in the cyclone separator, the airflow enters the first blast pipe 113 through the return air duct and is then input into the air inlet channel 105 for recycling, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present invention.
