Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garlic processing technology, specifically to a drying device for garlic processing. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of the garlic industry, the requirements for garlic processing are also becoming increasingly stringent. Drying is a crucial step in garlic processing, aimed at removing moisture to facilitate storage and transportation. Because garlic fibers are fine and the liquid within garlic slices is viscous, moisture migration and evaporation are slow. Therefore, an efficient and reliable garlic drying device is needed to meet market demands.
[0003] Traditional garlic drying equipment lacks an effective heat recovery mechanism. During the drying process, a significant amount of heat is lost in the exhaust gas, resulting in a large amount of unused heat energy and energy consumption. Furthermore, the garlic cannot be turned over continuously during the drying process, leading to uneven drying. This can result in some garlic being over-dried while others are not yet dry enough, which not only affects product quality but may also reduce the product qualification rate. In addition, it also limits the drying efficiency to some extent. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a drying device for garlic processing, which solves the problem of uneven heating of garlic during the drying process.

[0006] Preferably, an air inlet sleeve is fixedly installed at the bottom of one side of the drying box, and exhaust fans are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the air inlet sleeve. An aluminum heat-conducting block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the air inlet sleeve and between the two exhaust fans. A heating plate is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the air inlet sleeve and to the right of the aluminum heat-conducting block.
[0007] Preferably, the inner cavity of the drying box is fixedly equipped with several guide plates that cooperate with the drying mesh cylinder.
[0008] Preferably, the front and rear sides of the top of the aluminum heat-conducting block are respectively connected to an air inlet aluminum pipe and an air outlet aluminum pipe.

[0012] This utility model provides a drying device for garlic processing. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This invention utilizes the coordinated structure of a drying drum, exhaust fan, aluminum heat-conducting block, and heating plate. During the drying process, the aluminum heat-conducting block recovers heat from the exhaust air and transfers it to the incoming air, thus reducing energy waste and lowering energy costs. The drive motor rotates the drying drum, constantly turning the garlic during drying, preventing uneven heating caused by prolonged exposure to the same position. This increases the contact area between the garlic and hot air, accelerating moisture evaporation and shortening drying time. The garlic is continuously and evenly heated, resulting in consistent dryness and facilitating subsequent storage and processing. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a drying device for garlic processing, including a drying box 1. A mechanical box 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the drying box 1 via a connecting rod. A door 18 is hinged to the surface of the drying box 1 through an opening. A drive motor 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the mechanical box 2. The output end of the drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 4 via a coupling. One end of the drive shaft 4 passes through the drying box 1 and extends into the interior of the drying box 1. The end of the drive shaft 4 extending into the interior of the drying box 1 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the drying box 1 via a rotating component. The outer periphery of the drive shaft 4 is located within the inner cavity of the mechanical box 2. A first pulley 5 and a second pulley 6 are fitted and fixedly connected. A driven shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the upper and lower parts of one side of the inner cavity of the drying box 1 through a rotating component. One end of the driven shaft 7 passes through the drying box 1 and extends to the outside of the drying box 1. A third pulley 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the driven shaft 7 extending to the outside of the drying box 1. The two third pulleys 8 are respectively connected to the first pulley 5 and the second pulley 6 through belts. A drying screen 9 is fitted and fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the driving shaft 4 and the driven shaft 7 and located in the inner cavity of the drying box 1. A drying screen door 19 is hinged to the surface of the drying screen 9 through an opening.
[0022] An air inlet sleeve 10 is fixedly installed on the bottom of one side of the drying oven 1. Exhaust fans 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the air inlet sleeve 10. The left exhaust fan 11 draws in new air, while the right exhaust fan 11 draws in heated air into the drying oven 1.
[0023] To reduce energy waste and lower the energy consumption cost of the drying process, an aluminum heat-conducting block 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the air inlet sleeve 10 and between the two exhaust fans 11. The aluminum heat-conducting block 12 is made of aluminum material. Aluminum has good thermal conductivity and can quickly and effectively transfer heat. The hot exhaust gas discharged from the ventilation pipe 17 can be transferred and conducted within the aluminum heat-conducting block 12, thereby heating the incoming air.
[0024] A heating plate 13 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the air inlet sleeve 10 and on the right side of the aluminum heat-conducting block 12. The heating plate 13 provides heat by heating through resistance wire.
[0025] It should be noted that the drive motor 3, the exhaust fan 11, and the heating plate 13 are all powered by an external power source.
[0026] In order to ensure that the hot airflow inside the drying chamber 1 fully contacts the garlic, several guide plates 20 are fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the drying chamber 1 to cooperate with the drying mesh cylinder 9.
[0027] An air inlet aluminum pipe 14 and an air outlet aluminum pipe 21 are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the top of the aluminum heat-conducting block 12. One end of the air inlet aluminum pipe 14 and the air outlet aluminum pipe 21 both penetrate the aluminum heat-conducting block 12 and extend into the inner cavity of the aluminum heat-conducting block 12. Several heat exchange aluminum ventilation pipes 15 are connected between the air inlet aluminum pipe 14 and the air outlet aluminum pipe 21 and located in the inner cavity of the aluminum heat-conducting block 12. Several ventilation holes 16 are opened on the surface of the aluminum heat-conducting block 12.
[0028] A ventilation pipe 17 is connected to the top of one side of the inner cavity of the drying oven 1 through a through hole, and one end of the ventilation pipe 17 is connected to the air inlet aluminum pipe 14.
[0029] During operation, the staff places the garlic to be dried into the drying mesh cylinder 9, closes the drying cylinder door 19 and the chamber door 18, and starts the drive motor 3. The drive motor 3 drives the drive shaft 4 to rotate, which in turn causes the first pulley 5 and the second pulley 6 to drive the third pulley 8 to rotate via belt transmission. The third pulley 8 drives the driven shaft 7 to rotate, and the drive shaft 4 and the driven shaft 7 synchronously drive the drying mesh cylinder 9 to rotate. The exhaust fan 11 and the heating plate 13 are then started. The exhaust fan 11 on the left side draws in fresh air, and the heating plate 13 heats the fresh air. Heated air is drawn into the drying chamber 1 by the exhaust fan 11 on the right side. The heated air dries the garlic. The exhaust gas is discharged through the ventilation pipe 17. The discharged exhaust gas is also hot. The hot exhaust gas enters the air inlet aluminum pipe 14, and is discharged through the heat exchange aluminum ventilation pipe 15 and the air outlet aluminum pipe 21. When the new air enters through the ventilation hole 16, the aluminum heat-conducting block 12 can heat the new air. In this way, energy waste is reduced through heat transfer. When drying is finished, the chamber door 18 and the drying cylinder mesh door 19 are opened to take out the dried garlic.
