Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air-drying and storage, specifically to an air-drying and storage rack for processing pickled vegetables. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of making pickled vegetables, they are usually placed on specially designed racks to promote air drying for subsequent processing. These racks can be divided into various types depending on the usage scenario and needs, including but not limited to multi-layer structures, foldable designs, fixed installations, and automated operations. In commercial environments, shelving systems used for storing items have even more detailed and refined classification standards.

[0003] According to Chinese Patent No. CN216995459U, a drying and storage device for processing soybean products includes a box, a collection chamber, a collection drawer, a support column, a drying rack, a chute, a tilting chute, a ventilation door, and a ventilation fan. The collection chamber is located at the bottom of the box, and the collection drawer is located at the front end of the collection chamber. The support column is fixed to the left and right ends inside the box, and the drying rack is installed on the support column. The chute is opened horizontally at the middle of the left end of the box, and the tilting chute is opened at the front of the bottom end of the chute. The ventilation door is installed at the front opening of the box, and the ventilation fan is installed at the front end of the ventilation door.

[0004] The above scheme uses a ventilation fan to dry the bean products. However, this scheme still has the following drawbacks: the device has limited drying capacity for bean products, the drying method is inefficient, and it cannot meet the needs of rapid production and efficient processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying and storage rack for pickled vegetable processing, in order to solve the problems that the current device has limited drying capacity for bean products, low drying efficiency, and cannot meet the needs of rapid production and efficient processing.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, the present utility model adopts the following technical solution: a drying and storage rack for pickled vegetables, comprising a box body, a first connecting hole on the top of the box body, a heating tube disposed inside the first connecting hole, a heater connected to the top surface of the box body, the output part of the heater being connected to the heating tube, a plurality of mounting holes on the back of the box body, a fan disposed inside each of the plurality of mounting holes, a plurality of drive motors connected to one inner wall of the box body, the output end of the drive motors being connected to the fan, and a PLC controller connected to the top surface of the box body.

[0007] Preferably, the interior of the housing has several first mounting slots, and a tray is slidably mounted on the several first mounting slots.

[0008] Preferably, a second connection hole is provided on the top surface of the housing, and a temperature sensor is installed inside the second connection hole. The temperature measuring end of the temperature sensor extends into the interior of the housing, and both the heater and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the box has two second mounting slots, and a collection plate is provided inside the second mounting slot.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of filter screens are connected to the outer wall of the back of the housing, and the plurality of filter screens are connected to a plurality of mounting holes.

[0011] Preferably, ventilation holes are provided on each of the trays.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, a drying and storage rack for pickled vegetables that adopts the above-mentioned technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. During operation, workers evenly place the cleaned pickles on the tray, start the drive motor, and the output of the drive motor drives the fan to rotate. Simultaneously, the heater is activated, and the heat generated by the heater is dissipated through the heating element. The fan blows the hot air emitted by the heating element onto the surface of the pickles, accelerating moisture evaporation and achieving rapid drying. Throughout the process, a temperature sensor monitors the internal temperature of the chamber. When the internal temperature exceeds a preset threshold, the temperature sensor sends a signal to the PLC controller. Upon receiving the signal, the PLC controller issues a shutdown command, stopping the heater and preventing overheating that could degrade the quality of the pickles or waste energy. When the temperature sensor detects that the internal temperature is below the preset threshold, it sends a signal to the PLC controller, which then issues an activation command, starting the heater and maintaining the internal temperature at an optimal drying temperature. This automated control mechanism also helps save electricity, enabling a more economical and efficient operating model. It not only ensures that the pickles are dried under optimal conditions but also effectively improves work efficiency and product quality, meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0014] Second, during use, the tray spacing can be adjusted to accommodate pickled vegetable products of different sizes, shapes, and heights. Whether large or small, each pickled vegetable can find a suitable storage location, thus improving tray utilization and flexibility. Appropriate tray spacing promotes air circulation, which accelerates moisture evaporation, allowing the pickled vegetables to reach the ideal drying state more quickly, while reducing the risk of mold growth due to excessive humidity. The adjustable tray design allows workers to easily adjust tray positions to meet different pickled vegetable processing needs. Simultaneously, this design facilitates daily cleaning and maintenance, helping to maintain a hygienic and tidy storage environment.

[0015] Third, during use, the ventilation holes ensure that hot air is evenly distributed on each tray, avoiding local overheating or undercooling, which helps maintain the quality and taste of the pickles. The ventilation holes also help accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the pickles, thereby shortening the drying time and improving production efficiency.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1-4As shown, a drying and storage rack for pickled vegetables includes a housing 1. A first connecting hole 2 is provided on the top of the housing 1, and a heating tube 3 is installed inside the first connecting hole 2. A heater 4 is connected to the top surface of the housing 1, and the output of the heater 4 is connected to the heating tube 3. Several mounting holes 5 are provided on the back of the housing 1, and fans 6 are installed inside each of the mounting holes 5. Several drive motors 7 are connected to the inner wall of one side of the housing 1, and the output of the drive motors 7 is connected to the fans 6. A PLC controller 8 is connected to the top surface of the housing 1. The model is Siemens 6ES7511-1AK02-0AB0. The top surface of the housing 1 has a second connection hole 11. A temperature sensor 12 is installed inside the second connection hole 11. The temperature measuring end of the temperature sensor 12 extends into the interior of the housing 1. The heater 4 and the temperature sensor 12 are electrically connected to the PLC controller 8. The bottom of the housing 1 has two second mounting slots 13. A collection plate 14 is installed inside the second mounting slots 13. Several filter screens 15 are connected to the outer wall of the back of the housing 1. The filter screens 15 are connected to several mounting holes 5.

[0023] During operation, staff place the cleaned pickles evenly on the tray 10, start the drive motor 7, and the output of the drive motor 7 drives the fan 6 to rotate. Simultaneously, the heater 4 is activated. The heat generated by the heater 4 is dissipated through the heating tube 3, and the fan 6 blows the hot air emitted by the heating tube 3 onto the surface of the pickles, accelerating moisture evaporation and achieving rapid drying. Throughout the process, the temperature sensor 12 monitors the internal temperature of the chamber 1. When the internal temperature of the chamber 1 exceeds a preset threshold, the temperature sensor 12 sends a signal to the PLC controller 8. Upon receiving the signal, the PLC controller 8 issues a shutdown command, causing the heater 4 to stop working, preventing overheating that could degrade the quality of the pickles or waste energy. When the temperature sensor 12 detects that the internal temperature of the chamber 1 is below the preset threshold, the temperature sensor 12 sends a signal to the PLC controller 8. Upon receiving the signal, the PLC controller 8 issues an activation command, causing the heater 4 to start working, ensuring that the inside of the chamber 1 is always at an optimal drying temperature. This automated control mechanism also helps save electricity consumption, achieving a more economical and efficient operating mode. This not only ensures that pickled vegetables are air-dried under optimal conditions, but also effectively improves work efficiency and product quality, meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the interior of the housing 1 has several first mounting slots 9, and a tray 10 is slidably mounted on the several first mounting slots 9.

[0025] In use, the tray spacing 10 can be adjusted to accommodate pickled vegetable products of different sizes, shapes, and heights. Whether large or small, each piece of pickled vegetable can find a suitable storage location, thus improving the utilization rate and flexibility of the trays 10. Appropriate tray spacing 10 promotes air circulation, which accelerates moisture evaporation, allowing the pickled vegetables to reach the ideal drying state more quickly, while reducing the risk of mold growth due to excessive humidity. The adjustable tray design allows workers to easily adjust the position of the trays 10 to meet different pickled vegetable processing needs. At the same time, this design also facilitates daily cleaning and maintenance, helping to maintain a hygienic and tidy storage environment.

[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, ventilation holes 16 are provided on several trays 10.

[0027] During use, the ventilation holes ensure that hot air is evenly distributed on each tray 10, avoiding local overheating or undercooling, which helps maintain the quality and taste of the pickles. The ventilation holes also help accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the pickles, thereby shortening the drying time and improving production efficiency.

[0028] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
