Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fruit processing technology, specifically relating to a device for removing moisture from the surface of fruits. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit processing refers to the technological processes and methods used to artificially treat fresh fruit in order to maintain or improve its edible quality. Fresh fruits are rich in nutrients, but their soft texture and high water content make them susceptible to spoilage due to various microbial infestations and physicochemical factors. Processing aims to preserve the flavor and nutritional value of the fruit, enhance its storability, and facilitate transportation, which is of great significance for fully utilizing fruit resources and regulating market supply.

[0003] Before processing the fruit, the surface of the fruit needs to be washed. After washing, the fruit is dried by a water removal device to facilitate subsequent processing.

[0004] However, when the surface moisture removal device is used to remove moisture from the fruit surface, the fruit slides directly on the surface moisture removal device, which can easily cause the fruit surface to not fully contact the surface moisture removal device, resulting in moisture remaining on the surface of the fruit after passing through the surface moisture removal device.

[0023] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0024] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "fixing," and "equipped with" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] Referring now to the accompanying drawings, the various figures are intended only to illustrate certain exemplary embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. In the various figures, the same reference numerals denote the same or corresponding parts. The dimensions and scales in the various figures are also for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention; these dimensions may be enlarged relative to actual products.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-3The device for removing moisture from the surface of a fruit, as shown, includes a housing 1. A placement plate 2 is disposed inside the housing 1. An installation groove 3 is formed at the top of the placement plate 2. A sponge strip 4 is disposed inside the installation groove 3. A fruit outlet pipe 5 is disposed on one side of the placement plate 2, and a fruit inlet structure 7 is disposed on the other side of the placement plate 2. The fruit inlet structure 7 and the fruit outlet pipe 5 pass through the sponge strip 4. An air inlet pipe 8 is disposed at the bottom of the placement plate 2 and is connected to the installation groove 3. A fruit moving structure 6 is disposed in the middle of the placement plate 2. Heated and dry air contacts the sponge strip 4 through the air inlet pipe 8, thereby removing moisture from inside the sponge strip 4.

[0027] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the fruit moving structure 6 includes a servo motor 601, which is located in the middle of the bottom of the housing 1. The output end of the servo motor 601 is provided with a transmission shaft 602, and the top of the transmission shaft 602 is provided with a mounting plate 603. The outer wall of the mounting plate 603 is provided with a connecting plate 604, which is slidably connected to the top of the placement plate 2. The bottom of one end of the connecting plate 604 is provided with a push plate 605, which is located inside the sponge strip 4. The fruit enters the interior of the sponge strip 4 through the fruit inlet structure 7. The sponge strip 4 is made of sponge material. Then, the servo motor 601 is started, and the servo motor 601 drives the mounting plate 603 to rotate through the transmission shaft 602. The mounting plate 603 drives the connecting plate 604 to rotate, and the connecting plate 604 drives the push plate 605 to rotate, so that the push plate 605 pushes the fruit to roll on the inner wall of the sponge strip 4, so that the outer wall of the fruit contacts the sponge strip 4, and the sponge strip 4 absorbs the moisture from the outer wall of the fruit.

[0028] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the fruit feeding structure 7 includes a first feeding pipe 701 connected to a sponge strip 4. A second feeding pipe 702 is provided at one end of the first feeding pipe 701, forming a 90° angle with the first feeding pipe 701. An electric push rod 703 is provided on the outer wall of the connection point between the second feeding pipe 702 and the first feeding pipe 701. A lifting shaft 704 is provided at the output end of the electric push rod 703. Auxiliary grooves 705 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the first feeding pipe 701. A limiting plate 707 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary groove 705. A spring rod 706 is provided between the limiting plate 707 and the auxiliary groove 705. When the fruit needs to enter... When the fruit reaches the inside of the sponge strip 4, it first enters the second feed pipe 702. Then, the electric push rod 703 is activated, which drives the lifting shaft 704 to move upward. The lifting shaft 704 pushes the fruit into the first feed pipe 701. The fruit pushes the limiting plate 707 to move to both sides and squeezes the spring rod 706, causing the limiting plate 707 to open and the fruit to enter the top of the limiting plate 707. After the fruit passes the limiting plate 707, the lifting shaft 704 disengages from the fruit, and the spring rod 706 drives the limiting plate 707 to reset and limit the fruit. Subsequently, the fruit is fed from the second feed pipe 702 into the first feed pipe 701, causing the fruit inside the first feed pipe 701 to move upward and enter the inside of the sponge strip 4.

[0029] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
