It uses vacuum freeze-drying technology to remove moisture from vegetables under low temperature and vacuum conditions, thereby inhibiting microbial growth and enzyme activity, and extending the shelf life. However, during freeze-drying, leafy vegetables must be drained thoroughly after washing and allowed to completely dry before proceeding to the next step. Existing draining equipment suffers from poor drainage and low efficiency, making it difficult to meet production demands. Furthermore, most existing draining equipment uses an open-top method, which can easily lead to secondary contamination of leafy vegetables. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a vibrating dewatering and spreading machine for freeze-drying leafy vegetables, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows.

[0006] A vibrating dewatering and spreading machine for freeze-drying leafy vegetables includes a frame.

A vibrating motor for driving the vibration of the vibrating box is installed inside the vibrating box. Several upward-facing support plates that rotate vertically within a defined range are pivotally connected to the top of the vibrating box. Each support plate is parallel to the others, and its top is pivotally connected to a linkage box, supported by the support plates and suspended above the vibrating box. A screen plate with evenly spaced drainage holes is horizontally arranged inside the linkage box, spaced apart from the bottom plate of the linkage box. A lid is openable on the top of the linkage box.

[0007] Preferably, the upper surface of the vibration box and the lower surface of the linkage box are respectively provided with a plurality of parallel slots with a width greater than the width of the support plate. The bottom end of the support plate is inserted into the slot on the vibration box and pivotally connected to the slot on the vibration box. The top end of the support plate is inserted into the slot on the linkage box and pivotally connected to the slot on the linkage box.

[0008] Preferably, a water guide plate is inclinedly arranged at the bottom of the linkage box, located below the sieve plate and forming a water collection trough with the linkage box and the sieve plate, and a water outlet is opened on the side wall of the linkage box, located at the lower end of the water guide plate and communicating with the water collection trough.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the sieve plate is covered with a sieve pad to prevent damage to the surface of leafy vegetables, and the sieve pad has water passage holes that communicate with the water outlets on the sieve plate.

[0010] Preferably, the inner top wall of the box lid is equipped with an ultraviolet disinfection lamp for disinfecting leafy vegetables.

[0011] Preferably, the rear end of the box cover is pivotally connected to the rear top of the linkage box, and the front end of the box cover is connected to the front top of the linkage box by a latch.

[0012] The technological advancements achieved by this utility model are as follows, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions.

[0013] This invention, through the design of springs, a vibration box, a support plate, and a linkage box, enables efficient dehydration of leafy vegetables and ensures the dehydration effect, thus facilitating subsequent freeze-drying of leafy vegetables. The box cover prevents leafy vegetables from being exposed to the processing workshop during the dehydration process, thereby avoiding secondary contamination of the leafy vegetables. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;

[0015] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the linkage box of this utility model.

[0016] The components are: 1. Frame, 2. Spring, 3. Vibration box, 4. Support plate, 5. Linkage box, 6. Box cover, 7. Screen plate, 8. Screen pad, 9. Water guide plate, 10. Water collection tank, 11. Water outlet, 12. Tank opening. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] A vibrating dewatering and spreading machine for freeze-drying leafy vegetables, combined with Figure 1As shown, the system includes a frame 1. Several vertically upward-facing springs 2 are mounted on the top of the frame 1. A vibration box 3 is mounted on the top of each spring 2, and the vibration box 3 is suspended above the frame 1, supported by the springs 2. Two vibration motors (one or more) are installed inside the vibration box 3, evenly distributed within it, to drive the vibration box 3 to vibrate. Several upward-facing support plates 4 are pivotally connected to the top of the vibration box 3. Each support plate 4 can rotate vertically within a limited range, and a linkage box 5 is pivotally connected to the top of each support plate 4. The linkage box 5 is suspended above the vibration box 3, supported by the support plates 4, and is used to hold leafy vegetables to be dehydrated. When dewatering is performed, the vibration motor in the vibration box 3 drives the vibration box 3 to vibrate. The vibration box 3 can vibrate within a certain range under the action of the spring 2. When the vibration box 3 vibrates, the linkage box 5 vibrates under the pull of the support plate 4. During the vibration of the linkage box 5, it vibrates within a certain range due to the limitation of the rotation angle of the support plate 4. At the same time, under the action of the spring 2 and the support plate 4, the vibration effect and efficiency can be improved, which is beneficial to improving the dewatering effect and efficiency of leafy vegetables.

[0019] Specifically, the upper surface of the vibration box 3 and the lower surface of the linkage box 5 are respectively provided with several parallel slots 12. The bottom end of the support plate 4 is inserted into the slot 12 on the vibration box 3 and pivotally connected to the slot 12 on the vibration box 3. The top end of the support plate 4 is inserted into the slot 12 on the linkage box 5 and pivotally connected to the slot 12 on the linkage box 5. The width of the slot 12 is greater than the width of the support plate 4, so that the support plate 4 can rotate vertically within a limited range.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, a sieve plate 7 is horizontally arranged inside the linkage box 5. The sieve plate 7 is spaced apart from the bottom plate of the linkage box 5, and several drainage holes are evenly opened on the sieve plate 7. The drainage holes are used to drain water to the bottom of the linkage box 5 during the vibration of leafy vegetables. The upper surface of the sieve plate 7 is covered with a sieve pad 8. The sieve pad 8 has water passage holes that communicate with the drainage holes on the sieve plate 7. The sieve pad 8 has low hardness, which can prevent damage to the surface of leafy vegetables during vibration, thereby ensuring the surface quality of leafy vegetables.

[0021] A water guide plate 9 is inclinedly installed at the bottom of the linkage box 5. The water guide plate 9 is located below the sieve plate 7. The water guide plate 9, linkage box 5, and sieve plate 7 form a water collection trough 10. During vibration, the water removed flows into the water collection trough 10 through the sieve pad 8 and sieve plate 7. A water outlet 11 is opened on the side wall of the linkage box 5. The water outlet 11 is located on the lower end of the water guide plate 9 and communicates with the water collection trough 10. When the removed water leaks into the water collection trough 10, it can be discharged in time through the water outlet 11 under the guidance of the water guide plate 9, thereby preventing the water from returning to the surface of leafy vegetables due to vibration and improving the water removal efficiency.

[0022] The top of the linkage box 5 is equipped with an openable lid 6. The rear end of the lid 6 is pivotally connected to the rear top of the linkage box 5, and the front end of the lid 6 is connected to the front top of the linkage box 5 via a locking mechanism. When leafy vegetables are vibrated to remove water, closing the lid 6 ensures that the leafy vegetables are not subject to secondary contamination, thereby guaranteeing the quality of the subsequent freeze-drying process. An ultraviolet disinfection lamp is installed on the inner top wall of the lid 6. After the leafy vegetables have been dehydrated, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp can be turned on to disinfect them.

[0023] In use, the following steps are taken: Open the lid 6, place an appropriate amount of leafy vegetables to be dehydrated into the linkage box 5, and then close the lid 6. Turn on the vibration motor, and under the action of the spring 2 and the support plate 4, the linkage box 5 will vibrate effectively, thereby achieving efficient dehydration of the leafy vegetables. The dehydrated water will be discharged in time through the outlet 11. After dehydration is completed, turn on the ultraviolet disinfection lamp to disinfect the leafy vegetables. After disinfection is completed, open the lid 6 and take out the dehydrated and disinfected leafy vegetables.
