Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vegetable dehydration technology, specifically relating to a dehydration device for vegetable processing. Background Technology
[0002] To facilitate storage or to give vegetables different flavors and produce different vegetable products, some vegetables require dehydration and drying. Dried vegetables, which are produced by removing most of the water, retain the original color and nutrients of the vegetables, are easy to store and transport, and can effectively regulate the seasonal fluctuations in vegetable production.
[0003] However, existing vegetable dehydration devices typically involve placing vegetables in a dehydration drum and tumbling them. This method causes the vegetables to collide, producing crumbs and affecting their appearance, resulting in waste. Furthermore, existing vegetable dehydration and drying devices are prone to uneven dehydration and drying, thus reducing processing efficiency and economic benefits.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a dehydration device for vegetable processing.
[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0014] The two ends of the partition plate form a dehydration chamber and a dehumidification drainage chamber with the dehydration box and the support baffle, respectively. The moisture of the vegetables is evaporated through the dehydration chamber, and then the moisture is quickly carried away by gas. Then the water vapor is liquefied and discharged in the dehumidification drainage chamber to achieve the dehumidification effect, which is beneficial to the dehydration and drying of vegetables.
[0015] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a pair of supporting side plates are fixedly connected to the dehydration tank and the partition plate with fixed bearings to fix the supporting side plates, so that the supporting side plates are not easy to move, but can rotate freely, thereby facilitating the movement of multiple supporting buckets. Both ends of the rotary drive shaft are fixedly connected to the dehydration tank and the partition plate with connecting bearings to ensure the stability of the rotary drive shaft and make the rotation of the rotary drive shaft less affected.
[0016] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, an electric heating wire is fixedly installed between the partition plate and the dehydration box to heat the passing gas, thereby increasing the dehydration and drying efficiency of vegetables, thus improving the processing efficiency of vegetables and increasing economic benefits.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a dehydration device for vegetable processing in one embodiment of the present invention includes: a dehydration box 1, a dehydration and drying device 2, and a dehumidification mechanism 3.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the dehydration box 1 is equipped with a door 101 for easy loading and unloading of vegetables, and is easy to operate. The door 101 is equipped with a handle 102. Multiple support legs 103 are provided at the bottom of the dehydration box 1 to support the dehydration box 1 and prevent it from shaking or tilting.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, multiple drainage holes are drilled on the bottom wall of the dehumidification and drainage chamber inside the dehydration tank 1 to allow water droplets generated during liquefaction to enter the collection tank 104. A pair of collection tanks 104 are provided at the bottom of the dehydration tank 1 to collect the water droplets from liquefaction, thus preventing moisture from easily entering the gas collection frame 304. Preferably, a drainage pipe is provided on the collection tank 104, with a plug at one end to facilitate the drainage of water by the operator.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the dehydration and drying device 2 is installed inside the dehydration chamber 1. The dehydration and drying device 2 includes a rotary drive shaft 201, which supports a pair of support side plates 202 and drives the pair of support side plates 202 to rotate. A pair of support side plates 202 are fixed on the rotary drive shaft 201 to support multiple support shafts 203, thereby providing conditions for supporting the support bucket 204. Multiple support shafts 203 are fixedly connected between the pair of support side plates 202. The support bucket 204 is suspended from the support shafts 203 for placing vegetables and facilitating their movement. Multiple evenly distributed perforations 205 are drilled in the support bucket 204.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a pair of fixed connecting blocks 206 are fixed on the support bucket 204 to support the support bucket 204 and facilitate the rotation and movement of the support bucket 204 around the rotary drive shaft 201. Support sleeve rods 207 are fixedly connected to the fixed connecting blocks 206. A support bearing is fixedly connected between the support shaft rod 203 and the pair of support sleeve rods 207, making it difficult for the support bucket 204 to overturn when the support shaft rod 203 rotates around the rotary drive shaft 201, thus preventing vegetables from falling off.
[0036] Specifically, a drive motor 208 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotary drive shaft 201. The drive motor 208 is mounted on the outer wall of the dehydration chamber 1 and is used to drive the rotary drive shaft 201 to rotate, providing power for the uniform heating of the vegetables. A partition plate 209 is fixedly installed inside the dehydration chamber 1 to support one end of the rotary drive shaft 201, thereby preventing the rotary drive shaft 201 and a pair of supporting side plates 202 from falling off, and also to block the flow of gas.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the two ends of the partition plate 209 form a dehydration chamber and a dehumidification drainage chamber with the dehydration box 1 and the support baffle 301, respectively. The water in the vegetables is evaporated through the dehydration chamber, and then the water is quickly carried away by the gas. Then the water vapor is liquefied and discharged in the dehumidification drainage chamber to achieve the dehumidification effect, which is beneficial to the dehydration and drying of vegetables.
[0038] In addition, a pair of supporting side plates 202 are fixedly connected to the dehydration tank 1 and the partition plate 209 with fixed bearings 210 to fix the supporting side plates 202, so that the supporting side plates 202 are not easy to move, but can rotate freely, thereby facilitating the movement of multiple supporting buckets 204. Both ends of the rotary drive shaft 201 are fixedly connected to the dehydration tank 1 and the partition plate 209 with connecting bearings 211 to ensure the stability of the rotary drive shaft 201 and to prevent the rotation of the rotary drive shaft 201 from being affected.
[0039] like Figure 1As shown, an electric heating wire 212 is fixedly installed between the partition plate 209 and the dehydration chamber 1 to heat the passing gas, thereby increasing the dehydration and drying efficiency of vegetables, thus improving the processing efficiency and economic benefits. Multiple connecting pipes 213 are installed on the dehydration chamber 1, with both ends of the connecting pipes 213 connected to the dehydration chamber and the dehumidification drainage chamber, respectively. This allows gas from the dehydration chamber to be passed into the dehumidification drainage chamber, facilitating dehumidification of the gas and improving the dehydration and drying efficiency of the vegetables.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the dehumidification mechanism 3 is installed on one side of one of the support side plates 202. The dehumidification mechanism 3 includes a support baffle 301 for supporting multiple condenser rods 302 and heat dissipation fins 303. The support baffle 301 is fixed to the dehydration tank 1, and multiple condenser rods 302 are fixed on the support baffle 301 for contact with the gas, thereby liquefying the water vapor in the gas and achieving the dehumidification effect.
[0041] Specifically, multiple heat dissipation fins 303 are installed on the side of the support baffle 301 away from the condenser rod 302 to accelerate heat dissipation, thereby keeping the temperature of the support baffle 301 and the multiple condenser rods 302 low, so that the water vapor in the gas can be liquefied when in contact with the gas.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, a gas collecting frame 304 is fixed below the dehydration chamber 1 to facilitate gas flow and allow gas to enter the dehydration chamber, enabling the gas to quickly carry heat diffusion and improve the dehydration and drying efficiency of vegetables. Several exhaust fans 305 are installed inside the gas collecting frame 304 to draw gas into the dehydration chamber.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a filter screen 306 is provided at one end of the gas collecting frame 304 to filter out impurities in the gas, thus preventing dust and other impurities from falling onto the vegetables. A pair of return pipes 307 are fixedly connected between the dehydration box 1 and the gas collecting frame 304 to allow the dehumidified gas to be reintroduced into the dehydration chamber, thereby reducing the introduction of moisture and improving the dehydration and drying efficiency of the vegetables.
[0044] In actual use, the staff put the vegetables one by one into the multiple support hoppers 204, then close the door 101, and then start the drive motor 208 and the heating wire 212. The drive motor 208 can drive the rotating drive shaft 201 to rotate, which in turn drives the multiple support hoppers 204 to rotate through a pair of support side plates 202. The start of the heating wire 212 will continuously radiate heat outward, thereby achieving dehydration and drying of the vegetables. Moreover, the continuous rotation allows multiple vegetables to be dehydrated and dried evenly.
[0045] The start-up of the exhaust fan 305 draws in the gas and delivers it to the dehydration tank 1. The gas passes through the heating wire 212, which heats it up, allowing the heat to dissipate more quickly and achieving a uniform heating effect. The gas then enters the dehumidification and drainage chamber through the connecting pipe 213, carrying away the water vapor evaporated from the vegetables. After the gas comes into contact with the condenser rod 302, the water vapor in the gas is liquefied, achieving a dehumidification effect. Finally, the gas returns to the gas collection frame 304 through the return pipe 307, making it easier for the exhaust fan 305 to extract the gas, thereby reducing the amount of water vapor carried into the dehydration tank 1 and improving the dehydration and drying efficiency.
[0046] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
