Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sweet potato drying technology, and in particular relates to a sweet potato drying device that is easy to clean. Background Technology
[0002] Sweet potato chips, also known as dried sweet potatoes or sweet potato jerky, are a type of food made from processed sweet potatoes. The production process usually involves steaming whole sweet potatoes, peeling them, cutting them into sections, and then naturally drying or baking them. Sweet potato chips are in the form of slices or strips, have a chewy texture, and a slightly sweet and soft taste. However, during the drying process, since only one side can be exposed to the sun, the other side is prone to mold. A structure that can turn the sweet potato chips over during the drying process is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an easy-to-clean sweet potato drying device, thus solving the aforementioned problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a sweet potato drying device that is easy to clean, including a frame and a turning component for turning the sweet potato slices over; the turning component includes a ring sleeve, a sliding cylinder, and a perforated plate, two ring sleeves are symmetrically rotatably connected to the frame, two sliding cylinders are symmetrically slidably connected to the ring sleeves, and a perforated plate is fixedly connected between the two sliding cylinders, and the perforated plate is provided with a soft padding layer adapted to it.
[0005] Beneficial effects
[0006] This invention provides a sweet potato drying device that is easy to clean, and has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0007] When the dried sweet potato needs to be flipped, the user starts the motor. The left-hand lead screw, fixed to its output shaft, begins to rotate, simultaneously driving the right-hand lead screw, also fixed to it, to rotate. The sliding cylinders threaded onto the left and right lead screws begin to move in opposite directions along their connection points with the ring sleeve, causing the perforated plates fixed to them to move synchronously. This causes the two perforated plates to come into contact with each other, clamping the dried sweet potato placed on the bottom perforated plate between them, preventing it from sliding to one side during rotation. The soft padding between the perforated plates effectively cushions the contact with the dried sweet potato, preventing breakage. The user then starts motor A, causing it to drive the gear fixed to its output shaft to rotate synchronously. This causes the gear ring to rotate under the meshing of the gears. At this point, the ring sleeve begins to... The motor rotates the perforated plate, flipping it over. During this process, the shaft, in conjunction with the belt connected to its drive, begins to rotate synchronously with the ring sleeve, causing the cam fixedly connected to the shaft to rotate synchronously. As the cam rotates, it quickly stops supporting the guide cylinder, causing the spring to rebound and reset. This pulls the plate frame to slide along its connection with the connecting frame. Simultaneously, the spring's elasticity causes the plate frame to slide up and down several times, allowing small particles of impurities between the two perforated plates to be flung out through the mesh, increasing the yield of high-quality sweet potato chips. When the two perforated plates have rotated 30 degrees, the user restarts the motor, causing the two perforated plates to separate. At this point, the sweet potato chips are flipped over and placed on the bottom perforated plate. The user continues to control the distance between the two perforated plates to prevent the top perforated plate from obstructing the drying process. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Regarding the above examples, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solutions, it is not limited to the specific left-hand lead screw 205 and right-hand lead screw 206 described in the above embodiments. For example, the left-hand lead screw 205 and right-hand lead screw 206 should be lead screws with self-locking effect. The purpose of this setting is to facilitate the increase of the limiting effect on the perforated plate 203.
[0021] Specifically, the two slide cylinders 202 are respectively threaded onto the left-hand lead screw 205 and the right-hand lead screw 206, and a gear ring 207 is fixedly connected to the ring sleeve 201, and the gear ring 207 is meshed with the gear 208.
[0022] Specifically, the gear 208 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor A209, and the motor A209 is fixedly connected to the plate frame 101.
[0023] For the above examples, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solutions, it is not limited to the specific motor A209 described in the above embodiments. For example, the motor A209 should be a motor with multiple adjustable speeds. The purpose of this setting is to facilitate the adjustment of the speed of the ring 201 through this setting, so as to avoid the speed being too fast and causing the sweet potato to fall off.
[0024] Specifically, a belt 301 is driven to the ring 201, and the other end of the belt 301 is driven to the shaft 302, which is rotatably connected to the plate frame 101.
[0025] For the above examples, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solutions, it is not limited to the specific ring 201 and shaft 302 described in the above embodiments. For example, the ring 201 and shaft 302 used to connect the pulley of the belt 301 should have a deeper pulley groove. The purpose of this setting is to facilitate the increase of the limiting effect on the belt 301 through this setting.
[0026] Specifically, a cam 303 is fixedly connected to the shaft 302, and a guide cylinder 304 is provided below the cam 303. The guide cylinder 304 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 305.
[0027] For the above examples, those skilled in the art should know that the implementation of the above technical solutions is not limited to the specific cam 303 described in the above embodiments. For example, the cam 303 should be made of a material with a smooth surface. The purpose of this setting is to reduce the friction between the cam 303 and the cam 303.
[0028] Specifically, the plate frame 101 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 305, and a spring 306 is sleeved on the connecting frame 305.

[0029] For the above examples, those skilled in the art should know that the implementation of the above technical solutions is not limited to the specific plate frame 101 described in the above embodiments. For example, the connection between the plate frame 101 and the connecting frame 305 should have a certain gap. The purpose of this setting is to facilitate the left and right swaying of the plate frame 101, thereby increasing the pushing effect of the spring 306 on the plate frame 101 during the springback reset process.
[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, when the dried sweet potato needs to be turned over, the user starts the motor 204. At this time, the left-hand lead screw 205, which is fixedly connected to its output shaft, begins to rotate, driving the right-hand lead screw 206, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate synchronously. At this time, the slide cylinder 202, which is threadedly connected to the left-hand lead screw 205 and the right-hand lead screw 206, begins to move towards each other along the connection point with the ring sleeve 201, driving the mesh plate 203, which is fixedly connected to it, to move synchronously, so that the two mesh plates 203 fit together, thereby turning the bottom mesh plate 203 into a closed loop. The dried sweet potato placed on plate 03 is clamped between two perforated plates 203 to prevent it from sliding to one side during the rotation of the perforated plates 203. The soft padding between the perforated plates 203 effectively cushions the contact between the dried sweet potato and the perforated plates, preventing breakage. The user then starts motor A209, causing it to drive the gear 208 fixedly connected to its output shaft to rotate synchronously. This causes the gear ring 207 to rotate in cooperation with the meshing gear 208. At this time, the ring sleeve 201 opens... The perforated plate 203 is initially rotated, thus flipping it over. During this process, the shaft 302, in conjunction with the belt 301 connected to it, begins to rotate synchronously with the ring 201, causing the cam 303 fixedly connected to the shaft 302 to rotate synchronously. At this time, during the rotation of the cam 303, it can quickly stop supporting the guide cylinder 304, causing the spring 306 to rebound and reset, thereby pulling the plate frame 101 to slide along its connection with the connecting frame 305. Simultaneously, under the elastic action of the spring 306, it can... The frame 101 slides up and down several times, which can throw out small particles of impurities between the two mesh plates 203 through their mesh holes, thereby increasing the yield of high-quality sweet potato chips. During this process, when the two mesh plates 203 rotate 180°, the user then starts the motor 204 again, which causes the two mesh plates 203 to begin to separate. At this time, the sweet potato chips are flipped over and placed on the bottom mesh plate 203. Meanwhile, the user continues to control the distance between the two mesh plates 203 to prevent the top mesh plate 203 from blocking the drying of the sweet potato chips.
