Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model provides a drying machine, belonging to the technical field of kelp drying, and particularly relates to a kelp hanging drying machine. Background Art
[0002] Kelp is a large brown algae plant that grows in low-temperature seawater. It belongs to the genus Laminaria of the family Laminariaceae, Laminaria order. Its fronds are flat and brown. It has multiple physiological active functions such as lowering blood lipids and blood sugar, and is widely used in the production of food and health products. Drying is a crucial step in the kelp processing process. It extends its shelf life by reducing the water content in the kelp, while maintaining the nutrient content and flavor of the kelp during the drying process, ensuring that it is not easy to deteriorate during subsequent storage and transportation. In addition, drying can improve the packaging and transportation efficiency of kelp and reduce costs. By precisely controlling the drying conditions, the rehydration and edible quality of the kelp can be improved to meet the market demand for high-quality seafood.
[0003] In the kelp processing process, the traditional air-drying method is widely used due to its low cost. However, this method is greatly affected by the weather, has low drying efficiency, and may cause the kelp to be contaminated or structurally damaged during the drying process. In order to improve drying efficiency and reduce the impact on kelp quality, some equipment uses hot air drying technology. However, when the kelp is hung on the bracket for hot air drying, it is easy to fall off due to the action of the wind, which not only affects the drying effect, but also may cause pollution to the kelp. In addition, if a clamping fixing structure is used to prevent the kelp from falling off, it may destroy the natural structure of the kelp, and the drying effect of the clamped part will also be affected, resulting in uneven drying.

[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] It should be noted that the terms “vertical”, “horizontal”, “up”, “down”, “left”, “right” and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.
[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains; the terms used herein in the specification of this invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this invention; the term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a kelp hanging dryer includes a drying fan 1, a drying shell 11 corresponding to the drying fan 1 is provided on one side of the drying fan 1, a ventilation duct 12 corresponding to the drying fan 1 is provided inside the drying shell 11, the ventilation duct 12 is distributed on the top plate and side plates of the drying shell 11, a sealing door corresponding to the drying shell 11 is provided on one side of the drying shell 11, a plurality of through holes 13 evenly distributed and corresponding to the regulating air outlets 22 are provided in the ventilation duct 12 on the top plate of the drying shell 11, a plurality of hanging structures 2 evenly distributed and corresponding to the ventilation duct 12 are provided inside the drying shell 11, the hanging structure 2 includes a hanging base 21 movably connected to the drying shell 11, and an regulating air outlet 22 corresponding to the drying fan 1 is provided above the hanging base 21.
[0026] In this embodiment, the utility model configures a drying fan 1 and utilizes the ventilation duct 12 to evenly transport hot air to the suspension structure 2 inside the drying shell 11. When the wind force is too strong and causes the suspension base 21 to tilt, the air outlet 22 is adjusted to achieve self-rotation, ensuring that the air outlet is always perpendicular to the plane of the suspension base 21. The kelp is fixed to the suspension base 21 with the help of wind force, thereby avoiding the displacement and pollution problems of the kelp caused by the hot air, while maintaining the complete appearance structure of the kelp and optimizing the drying process.
[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the regulating air outlet 22 of the kelp hanging dryer is ingeniously designed, including an regulating ball shell 23 corresponding to the through hole 13. The regulating ball shell 23 is provided with a vertical air outlet 24 passing through the regulating ball shell 23. This design allows the hot air to be blown evenly toward the hanging base 21 in a vertical downward direction, ensuring uniform distribution of wind force and avoiding uneven drying effect on the kelp.
[0028] A counterweight ring 25 connected to the vertical air outlet 24 via a connecting rope is cleverly set inside the regulating ball shell 23. This configuration allows the regulating ball shell 23 to automatically adjust its position under the action of wind to maintain the alignment of the vertical air outlet 24 with the through hole 13, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of hot air. The design of the counterweight ring 25 plays a role of balance and regulation, making the rotation of the regulating ball shell 23 more stable and precise. In addition, a fixed ball shell 26 corresponding to itself is also provided inside the regulating ball shell 23, and a blocking ring 27 corresponding to the regulating ball shell 23 is provided on the outside of the fixed ball shell 26. This dual structure design increases the stability of the regulating air outlet 22, prevents excessive rotation caused by excessive wind force, and ensures precise control of the regulating air outlet 22. The suspension base 21 is provided with a connecting block 28, which is mounted on the outside of the fixed spherical shell 26 and the adjustable spherical shell 23, through a groove extending through the base. The connecting block 28 is fixedly connected to the fixed spherical shell 26, while the adjustable spherical shell 23 rotates freely within the connecting block 28. This design allows the adjustable spherical shell 23 to flexibly adjust its angle to accommodate different wind speeds and drying requirements while maintaining its connection to the fixed spherical shell 26. Near one side of the suspension base 21, the connecting block 28 is also provided with a connecting plate 29 fixedly connected to the connecting block 28. This design further enhances the stability between the connecting block 28 and the suspension base 21, ensuring the stability of the entire suspension structure 2 during the drying process and preventing instability of the suspension base 21 due to changes in wind speed.
[0029] During use, first, hang the kelp evenly on the hanging base 21 inside the drying shell 11, and then close the sealing door to ensure that the hot air circulates inside the drying shell 11; then start the drying fan 1, and the hot air is transported to the top of the hanging structure 2 through the ventilation duct 12 and the through hole 13, and is evenly blown to the kelp on the hanging base 21 through the vertical air outlet 24 of the adjusting air outlet 22. When the wind force is too strong during the drying process and the hanging base 21 tilts, the adjusting ball shell 23 in the adjusting air outlet 22 automatically adjusts its position under the action of the connecting rope and the counterweight ring 25, keeping the vertical air outlet 24 aligned with the through hole 13 to ensure smooth circulation of hot air. At the same time, the fixed ball shell 26 inside the adjusting ball shell 23 and the blocking ring 27 outside provide stability to prevent the adjusting ball shell 23 from being tilted due to excessive wind force. Large and excessive rotation, ensuring precise control of the adjustment air outlet 22; the connecting block 28 above the groove on the hanging base 21 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed spherical shell 26 and the adjusting spherical shell 23, the connecting block 28 is fixedly connected to the fixed spherical shell 26, and the adjusting spherical shell 23 rotates freely in the connecting block 28 to adapt to different wind forces and drying requirements. The connecting plate 29 on the side of the connecting block 28 close to the hanging base 21 enhances the stability between the connecting block 28 and the hanging base 21, ensuring the stability of the entire hanging structure 2 during the drying process, and preventing the hanging base 21 from being unstable due to changes in wind force; through this design, the present device can effectively avoid the displacement and pollution problems caused by hot air to kelp, while maintaining the complete appearance structure of the kelp, optimizing the drying process, and achieving efficient and uniform drying effect.
[0030] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with this technology may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the definition of the claims.
