Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a drying device, specifically a drying device for morel mushroom processing, belonging to the field of morel mushroom processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Morel mushrooms are a rare edible fungus, named for their cap's uneven, stomach-like surface. Also known as grass hat bamboo, morel mushrooms are a valuable edible and medicinal fungus. They are used to treat indigestion, abdominal distension, phlegm accumulation, and cough with shortness of breath. Morel mushrooms are also called sheep's stomach vegetables or sheep mushrooms. Their structure is similar to that of discus fungi, with a wrinkled, net-like upper part, resembling both a honeycomb and a sheep's stomach, hence the name. Morel production is exceptionally high two to three years after wildfires, so North American harvesters harvest morels based on wildfire conditions. However, once the fires are controlled, the number of morels in the same area decreases year after year.

[0003] Morel mushrooms require drying and dehydration during processing to meet packaging and storage requirements. However, current drying equipment keeps the morel mushrooms on the same heated surface throughout the drying process. This uneven heating on different sides of the mushrooms during dehydration can lead to insufficient dehydration and consequently, a shorter shelf life.

[0004] Therefore, a drying device for morel mushroom processing is proposed here. Utility Model Content

[0015] This utility model provides a drying device for processing morel mushrooms, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This drying device for morel mushroom processing, through a rotating component, a first placement rack, a second placement rack, and hooks, can drive the morel mushrooms hanging on the first placement rack to rotate, thereby causing the morel mushrooms to continuously change the heated surface during the drying process. This avoids one side being under the same heat source for a long time, reducing the problem of uneven heating and ensuring that all parts can be heated evenly, thus improving the overall dehydration efficiency. At the same time, rotating the morel mushrooms allows them to be exposed to dry air more quickly, which helps to accelerate the evaporation of moisture and improve the efficiency of the entire drying process.

[0017] 2. The drying device for morel mushroom processing can fix the second placement rack to the first placement rack through the placement component, so that the morel mushrooms rotate with the first placement rack during the drying process, while the second placement rack does not rotate on its own. This ensures that the morel mushrooms maintain a fixed orientation during the drying process, thereby ensuring that the hot air flow they receive is relatively consistent, thus guaranteeing the consistency of the drying effect and making the drying degree of each batch of morel mushrooms more uniform.

[0018] 3. This drying device for morel mushroom processing can adjust the overall orientation of the second placement rack by adjusting components and gears, thereby turning the morel mushrooms over. This allows each side of the morel mushrooms to be fully exposed to hot air, preventing any one side from remaining in the same position for a long time. This results in a more uniform drying effect and improves the overall dehydration efficiency. At the same time, the turning process can prevent some parts of the morel mushrooms from overheating due to prolonged exposure to the same heat source, reducing the risk of nutrient loss and flavor damage caused by high temperatures.

At the same time, rotating the morel mushrooms allows them to be exposed to dry air more quickly, which helps to accelerate the evaporation of moisture and improve the efficiency of the entire drying process.

[0033] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The placement assembly 3 includes a first placement frame 301 fixed to the side of the drying cylinder 202. A second placement frame 302 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the first placement frame 301 via a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft rotatably passes through the first placement frame 301.

[0034] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The adjustment assembly 4 includes a second motor 401. A movable groove 105 is provided on the surface of the processing box 1. The second motor 401 is fixed to the inner wall of the movable groove 105. A threaded rod 402 is fixed to the output shaft of the second motor 401. A threaded tube 403 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 402. A toothed plate 404 is fixed to the lower end of the threaded tube 403. The toothed plate 404 can mesh with the gear 310 and is positioned above the pressure rod 305. A second slider 405 is fixed to the side of the threaded tube 403. A second sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the movable groove 105. The second slider 405 is movably connected in the second sliding groove. The threaded tube 403 is connected to the second motor 401, the threaded rod 402, and the second sliding groove. Block 405 and the second slide are movable in the movable groove 105. There are two of each of the second slider 405 and the second slide, and they are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the threaded tube 403. The drying device for morel processing can adjust the overall direction of the second placement rack 302 by adjusting the component 4 and the gear 310, so that the morel mushrooms can be turned over. This allows each side of the morel mushrooms to be fully exposed to the hot air, avoiding one side from staying in the same position for a long time. This results in a more uniform drying effect and improves the overall dehydration efficiency. At the same time, the turning process can prevent one part of the morel mushrooms from overheating due to prolonged exposure to the same heat source, reducing the risk of nutrient loss and flavor damage caused by high temperature.

[0035] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The surface of the drying cylinder 202 is provided with an air outlet 204, the surface of the processing box 1 is provided with an air inlet pipe 5, the output end of the air inlet pipe 5 is provided inside the drying cylinder 202, the side of the processing box 1 is provided with an exhaust hole 103, and the front of the processing box 1 is hinged with a box door 6 by a pin.

[0036] In use, the device is first placed in a suitable position and connected to an external control device and a 220V mains power supply. The control device can be a conventional known device such as a computer. Then, the operator hangs the morel mushrooms on the hook 303. Subsequently, the first motor 201 is controlled by the control device to operate. The first motor 201 drives the drying cylinder 202 to rotate, thereby driving the first placement rack 301 and the second placement rack 302 fixed on the side of the drying cylinder 202 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the operator introduces high-temperature hot air into the drying cylinder 202 through the air inlet pipe 5, and dries the morel mushrooms on the hook 303 through the air outlet 204 on the surface of the drying cylinder 202.

[0037] When it is necessary to turn the morel mushrooms over, the staff only needs to control the second motor 401 through the control equipment. The second motor 401 drives the threaded rod 402 to rotate, and the threaded rod 402 drives the threaded tube 403 and the toothed plate 404 fixed at the lower end of the threaded tube 403 to move. When the toothed plate 404 is flush with the gear 310, the toothed plate 404 and the gear 310 mesh. Thus, during the rotation of the first placement frame 301, the gear 310 is driven to rotate. At the same time, the toothed plate 404 pushes the pressure rod 305 downward, and the pressure rod 305 presses down on the limiting block 308, causing the limiting block 308 to disengage from the limiting groove 304, thus unlocking the first placement frame 301 and the second placement frame 302, thereby completing the turning of the morel mushrooms over.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
