Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-8 This embodiment provides a rotary drying device for processing Sichuan peppercorns, including a housing assembly 1, a feeding assembly 2 for feeding, a rotary assembly 3 for turning the Sichuan peppercorns, and a drying assembly 4 for drying the Sichuan peppercorns. The feeding assembly 2 includes an anti-clogging assembly installed on the housing assembly 1, and a blowing assembly for blowing out waste leaves installed on the anti-clogging assembly. The anti-clogging assembly includes a mounting frame 203 fixedly installed on the housing assembly 1. A motor I 201 and a feeding hopper 202 are fixedly installed on the mounting frame 203. The output shaft of the motor I 201 is rotatably mounted to the mounting frame 203, and a cam 204 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor I 201.

[0022] The housing assembly 1 includes a housing I 101, on which two supports I 102 are fixedly installed. A support II 103 for supporting a motor II 301 is also fixedly installed on the housing I 101. Two support plates 104 for supporting a support rod 403 are also fixedly installed on the housing I 101. The housing I 101 is provided with a discharge port, and a storage box 105 is provided below the discharge port. The discharge port of the housing I 101 is connected to a guide discharge plate 307. The peppercorns falling into the guide discharge plate 307 enter the storage box 105 for storage through the discharge port.

[0023] The feeding assembly 2 includes a mounting bracket 203 fixedly mounted on the housing assembly 1. A motor I 201 and two feed hoppers 202 are fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 203. The two feed hoppers 202 are symmetrically mounted on the housing I 101. The output shaft of the motor I 201 is rotatably mounted to the mounting bracket 203. A cam 204 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor I 201. Two push rods 207 are slidably mounted on the mounting bracket 203. Push columns 205 are fixedly mounted on each of the two push rods 207. Springs I 206 are fixedly mounted on each of the two push columns 205. One end of each spring I 206 is fixedly mounted to the push column 205, and the other end is fixedly mounted to the mounting bracket 203. Both 205 are in contact with the cam 204. The two push rods 207 are also slidably mounted with telescopic heads 208. The two telescopic heads 208 are respectively fixedly mounted with springs II 209. One end of the springs II 209 is fixedly mounted with the telescopic head 208, and the other end is fixedly mounted with the push rod 207. The mounting frame 203 is also fixedly mounted with two fan groups 210. The two fan groups 210 are respectively equipped with fan motors 211 for providing power. The mounting frame 203 is also fixedly mounted with two guide plates 212 for guiding waste leaves. The mounting frame 203 is provided with two waste leaf outlets 213. The two waste leaf outlets 213 are respectively connected to the two guide plates 212 for discharging waste leaves.

[0024] During operation, the harvested peppercorns are placed into the feed hoppers 202 at both ends, and the peppercorns are discharged into the fixed feed tray 304 through the feed hoppers 202. When adding material, the motor I 201 is started, which drives the cam 204 to rotate. In turn, the spring I 206 drives the push column 205 to move back and forth, which in turn drives the push rod 207 to move back and forth, which in turn drives the telescopic head 208 to move back and forth. Then, the spring II 209 causes the telescopic head 208 to pop out at the discharge port. The telescopic head 208 pushes the discharge port to avoid blockage. At the same time, the fan motor 211 is started, which drives the fan group 210 to blow the peppercorns, blowing the leaf residue mixed in with the peppercorns into the guide plate 212, and finally discharged through the waste leaf outlet 213, thus completing the feeding of peppercorns.

[0025] The flipping assembly 3 includes a motor 301 and two fixed feed discs 304 fixedly mounted on the housing I 101. Gears are fixedly mounted on the output shaft of motor II 301. A fixed mesh ring 303 is fixedly mounted on each of the two fixed feed discs 304. Each fixed feed disc 304 has an L-shaped feed inlet, which corresponds to the discharge inlet of each of the two feed hoppers 202. Rotating wheels 305 are rotatably mounted on each of the two fixed feed discs 304, and are rotatably mounted to the housing I 101. Multiple scrapers 306 are fixedly mounted on the rotating wheels 305. (Quantity is set according to requirements). Multiple scrapers 306 are arranged in a ring array. A transmission gear 302 is fixedly installed on the rotating wheel 305. The transmission gear 302 meshes with the gear on the output shaft of motor II 301. A guide discharge plate 307 is fixedly installed on the fixed mesh ring 303. The guide discharge plate 307 is connected to the discharge port of the housing I 101. The mesh of the fixed mesh ring 303 is distributed in two stages. The mesh connected to the guide discharge plate 307 is the primary mesh, and the rest is the secondary mesh. The primary mesh is larger so that the dried peppercorns can pass through, and the secondary mesh is smaller for ventilation.

[0026] During operation, the peppercorns processed by the feeding component 2 enter the L-shaped feed inlet of the fixed feeding disc 304, and then enter the chamber formed by the rotating wheel 305 and the scraper 306. The motor II 301 is started, which drives the transmission gear 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating wheel 305 to rotate, which in turn drives the peppercorns in the chamber to rotate. The scraper 306 pushes the peppercorns apart, and at the same time, the drying component 4 heats and dries the peppercorns. After the peppercorns are dried, their volume shrinks and they fall through the first-level mesh of the fixed mesh ring 303 into the guide discharge plate 307. Finally, they fall through the guide discharge plate 307 into the discharge port of the shell I 101 and finally enter the storage box 105 for storage, thus completing the drying process of the peppercorns.

[0027] The drying assembly 4 includes a support frame 402 fixedly mounted on the housing I 101. A heating power supply 401 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 402. A support rod 403 is fixedly mounted on the heating power supply 401. A heating wire 404 for heating is fixedly mounted on the support rod 403. The support rod 403 is fixedly mounted to two support plates 104. The support rod 403 is rotatably mounted to a rotating wheel 305, which is sleeved on the support rod 403.

[0028] During operation, the heating wire 404 is heated by the heating power supply 401, which in turn heats the rotating wheel 305, and then, together with the flipping component 3, flips and heats the peppercorns, thereby completing the drying process of the peppercorns.

[0029] The working principle of a turning and drying device for processing Sichuan peppercorns: During operation, the harvested Sichuan peppercorns are placed in the feeding hopper 202, and the Sichuan peppercorns are separated by the feeding component 2. The Sichuan peppercorns processed by the feeding component 2 are sent to the turning component 3, and the Sichuan peppercorns are turned and dried by the drying component 4 and the turning component 3. The dried Sichuan peppercorns are discharged into the storage box 105 through the discharge port of the shell Ⅰ101 for storage, thereby completing the drying process of the Sichuan peppercorns.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
