Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pickled vegetable production, specifically to a pickled vegetable dehydrator. Background Technology
[0002] Pickled vegetables are a type of preserved vegetable that uses high-concentration salt solutions and lactic acid bacteria fermentation. The pickling process enhances the flavor of the vegetables. Pickled vegetables and preserved mustard greens both belong to the pickled vegetable category. Vegetable pickling is an ancient method of vegetable processing and storage with a long history both in my country and abroad. In times of relatively low living standards, pickled vegetables were mainly homemade for personal consumption, intended to extend the storage and consumption period of vegetables to compensate for food shortages.
[0003] Pickled vegetable dehydrators typically require vegetables to be cooked before dehydration, which means the vegetables need to be handled again after cooking, consuming a lot of labor and time. In addition, the amount of vegetables varies, making it difficult to control the pressure range according to the amount of vegetables. After pressing, the pickled vegetables need to be taken out of the storage box, which is very troublesome. Moreover, some pickled vegetables tend to stick to the inner wall, resulting in incomplete extraction. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dehydrator for pickled vegetables to solve the aforementioned defects caused by the prior art.
[0005] A dehydrating machine for pickled vegetables includes a dehydrating shell and an alloy pressing block. Heating chambers are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the dehydrating shell. A dehydration mechanism is arranged directly above the heating chamber. The dehydration mechanism squeezes the internal water of the vegetables by applying vertical pressure, thereby dehydrating the cooked vegetables. A heating mechanism is arranged inside the heating chamber. The heating mechanism boils the vegetables in one set of heating chambers, thus facilitating the simultaneous dehydration of the vegetables in one set of heating chambers.
[0006] Preferably, the dehydration mechanism includes an electric cylinder, a transverse support plate, a cover plate, an alloy pressure block, a threaded rod, and an internally threaded tube. The electric cylinder is installed directly above the dehydration housing, and the output end of the electric cylinder is connected to the transverse support plate. A threaded rod is provided directly below the cover plate, and an internally threaded tube is connected to the outer side of the threaded rod. An alloy pressure block is connected to the outer side of the internally threaded tube.
[0007] Preferably, the electric cylinder is connected to the top of the two sets of cover plates via a cover plate connected to the output end.
[0008] Preferably, the heating mechanism includes a storage mesh bucket, a liquid pump, an infusion fitting, an electric heating rod, a heating chamber, a mesh cover, and a manual valve. The storage mesh bucket is disposed inside the heating chamber. A manual valve is connected through one side of the heating chamber. An infusion fitting is connected through one side of the heating chamber. The other end of the infusion fitting is connected to the output end of the liquid pump. Electric heating rods are arranged in a ring inside the heating chamber. The other end of the infusion fitting is fitted with a mesh cover.
[0009] Preferably, the cover plate is connected to the interior of the internally threaded tube via a threaded rod at its bottom end.
[0010] Preferably, the pump is connected to the heating chamber via an infusion tubing connected to its output end.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0012] 1. During use, the height of the alloy pressure block is adjusted by rotating the internal threaded tube on the outside of the threaded rod. On the one hand, the height of the alloy pressure block is adjusted according to the amount of vegetables, thereby adjusting the downward range of the alloy pressure block to meet the dehydration treatment of different amounts of vegetables. On the other hand, when the other heating chamber is steaming raw vegetables, the alloy pressure block can press the floating vegetables into the water, improving the steaming efficiency of the other set of vegetables.
[0013] 2. At the same time, the pump on one side injects the heated liquid into the heating chamber of another set, which facilitates the circulation of the hot water inside the heating chamber. The liquid is filtered through the mesh cover to prevent vegetable fragments from clogging the pipes. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the pickled vegetable dehydrator includes a dehydration shell 1 and an alloy pressing block 6. Heating chambers 13 are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the dehydration shell 1. A dehydration mechanism 7 is arranged directly above the heating chamber 13. The dehydration mechanism 7 squeezes the internal water of the vegetables by applying vertical pressure, thereby dehydrating the cooked vegetables. A heating mechanism 16 is arranged inside the heating chamber 13. The heating mechanism 16 boils the vegetables inside one set of heating chambers 13, thereby facilitating the simultaneous dehydration of the vegetables inside one set of heating chambers 13.
[0023] In this embodiment, the dehydration mechanism 7 includes an electric cylinder 3, a transverse support plate 4, a cover plate 5, an alloy pressure block 6, a threaded rod 10, and an internally threaded tube 11. The electric cylinder 3 is installed directly above the dehydration housing 1. The output end of the electric cylinder 3 is connected to the transverse support plate 4. The threaded rod 10 is located directly below the cover plate 5. The external side of the threaded rod 10 is connected to the internally threaded tube 11. The external side of the internally threaded tube 11 is connected to the alloy pressure block 6.
[0024] In this embodiment, the electric cylinder 3 is connected to the top of the two sets of cover plates 5 through the cover plate 5 connected to the output end. The cover plate 5 covers the top of the heating chamber 13 to prevent the operator from being burned.
[0025] In this embodiment, the heating mechanism 16 includes a storage mesh bucket 2, a liquid pump 8, a liquid delivery pipe 9, an electric heating rod 12, a heating chamber 13, a mesh cover 14, and a manual valve 15. The storage mesh bucket 2 is disposed inside the heating chamber 13. A manual valve 15 is connected through one side of the heating chamber 13, and a liquid delivery pipe 9 is connected through one side of the heating chamber 13. The other end of the liquid delivery pipe 9 is connected to the output end of the liquid pump 8. Electric heating rods 12 are arranged in a ring inside the heating chamber 13. The other end of the liquid delivery pipe 9 is attached to the mesh cover 14. The storage mesh bucket 2 is used to steam and dehydrate vegetables, thereby saving processing steps.
[0026] In this embodiment, the cover plate 5 is internally connected to the internally threaded tube 11 via a threaded rod 10 at its bottom end, and the height of the alloy pressure block 6 is adjusted via the threaded rod 10 and the internally threaded tube 11.
[0027] In this embodiment, the liquid pump 8 is connected to the heating chamber 13 through the liquid delivery pipe 9 connected to the output end, and the liquid pump 8 is used to circulate the hot water, thereby saving the electricity required for steaming and cooking vegetables.
[0028] In practical applications, this type of pickled vegetable dehydrator includes the following tasks:
[0029] Step 1: First, the raw vegetables are directly fed into the storage mesh bucket 2. Then, the storage mesh bucket 2 is placed directly into the heating chamber 13. Next, the liquid is injected directly into the heating chamber 13. By turning on the electric heating rod 12, the liquid inside the heating chamber 13 is heated. The vegetables are heated with hot water. At the same time, the electric cylinder 3 drives the horizontal support plate 4 and the cover plate 5 to move vertically downward. The cover plate 5 is used to cover and seal the top of the heating chamber 13.
[0030] Step 2: After the vegetables in one set of heating chambers 13 have been steamed, the hot water inside the heating chamber 13 is directly pumped into the heating chamber 13 of another set by turning on the liquid pump 8. At the same time, the drained liquid is filtered by the mesh cover 14 to prevent vegetable debris from clogging the infusion tube 9. Meanwhile, the manual valve 15 on one side is opened to drain the remaining hot water. At the same time, the vegetables are left to dehydrate and the water squeezed out of the vegetables is drained.
[0031] Step 3: Rotate the inner threaded tube 11 on the outside of the threaded rod 10 to adjust the height of the alloy pressure block 6. Adjust the height of the alloy pressure block 6 according to the amount of vegetables. Use the electric cylinder 3 to drive the horizontal support plate 4 and the cover plate 5 to move vertically downward, so that the alloy pressure block 6 set at the bottom of the cover plate 5 applies vertical pressure to the vegetables. Liquid leaks out from the bottom of the storage net bucket 2, and then the squeezed hot water is discharged through the manual valve 15.
[0032] Step 4: After the vegetables inside a set of storage net buckets 2 have been dehydrated, the operator can remove the storage net buckets 2 from the heating chamber 13 to place a new set of storage net buckets 2 and fresh vegetables.
[0033] Therefore, the above-disclosed embodiments are merely illustrative in all respects and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this utility model or its equivalents are included in this utility model.
