Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable dehydration technology, specifically to a vegetable dehydrator. Background Technology

[0002] A vegetable dehydrator is a mechanical device specifically designed to remove excess water from vegetables. In the food processing industry, vegetable dehydrators are widely used in vegetable processing, dried fruit dehydration, and other fields. It removes water from vegetables by placing them in the device and rotating them at high speed, thus obtaining dehydrated vegetables that are easier to preserve and transport.

[0003] Currently, the existing utility model publication CN202197809U discloses a vegetable dehydrator, which includes a base and a shell. The shell is installed on the base, and a rotatable inner cylinder is installed inside the shell. The base of the inner cylinder is fixedly connected to the rotor of a rotary motor. Several small holes are provided on the wall of the inner cylinder. A water outlet pipe is installed at the bottom of the shell.

[0004] In the above-mentioned solution, the inner cylinder base and the rotor of the rotary motor are fixedly connected in the prior art. This means that the inner cylinder cannot be disassembled separately. This not only makes it inconvenient to take out the dehydrated vegetables, but also results in incomplete cleaning and easy cleaning dead corners. For example, the bottom of the outer shell can only be rinsed with water and cannot be scrubbed. Incomplete cleaning can easily cause excessive microorganisms and affect the production hygiene indicators. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a vegetable dehydrator. By providing a disassembly and assembly component, the inner drum can be removed, which solves the problems of inconvenience in removing dehydrated vegetables and inconvenience in thoroughly cleaning the inner drum and outer drum in the prior art, thus not affecting the production hygiene indicators.

[0006] The solution of this utility model to the aforementioned technical problem is:

[0007] A vegetable dehydrator includes a support base, an outer cylinder fixed to the upper end of the support base, a water outlet pipe fixed to the side wall of the outer cylinder, a cylinder cover screwed to the upper end of the outer cylinder, a conical head rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer cylinder, a disassembly assembly provided on the side wall of the conical head, an inner liner provided on the disassembly assembly, a removable inner liner cover provided at the upper end of the inner liner, a plurality of water outlet holes formed on the side wall of the inner liner, and a drive assembly provided at the upper end of the support base.

[0008] When vegetables need to be dehydrated, remove the inner liner cover, place the vegetables inside, and replace the inner liner cover to prevent them from flying out during dehydration. Activate the drive assembly to rotate the conical head. The rotation of the conical head, through the disassembly assembly, rotates the inner liner, causing the vegetables inside to rotate. Under centrifugal force, the water remaining on the surface of the vegetables is shaken off and discharged through the drain hole into the outer cylinder. The water in the outer cylinder is then drained through the drain pipe, effectively dehydrating the vegetables. After dehydration, rotate the cylinder cover to remove it, then remove the inner liner cover. Disassemble the disassembly assembly to remove the inner liner, making it easy to remove the vegetables and thoroughly clean both the inner and outer cylinders. This prevents incomplete cleaning from causing excessive microorganisms and ensuring that production hygiene standards are not affected.

[0009] By incorporating a disassembly and assembly component, the inner liner can be removed, solving the problems of existing technologies that make it inconvenient to remove dehydrated vegetables and thoroughly clean the inner liner and outer cylinder, thus ensuring that production hygiene standards are not affected.

[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0032] The following is for reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model will now be described.

[0033] A vegetable dehydrator includes a support base 1, an outer cylinder 2 fixed to the upper end of the support base 1, a water outlet pipe 3 fixed to the side wall of the outer cylinder 2, a cylinder cover 4 screwed to the upper end of the outer cylinder 2, a conical head 5 rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer cylinder 2, a disassembly assembly provided on the side wall of the conical head 5, an inner liner 6 provided on the disassembly assembly, a removable inner liner cover 7 provided at the upper end of the inner liner 6, a plurality of water outlet holes 601 formed on the side wall of the inner liner 6, and a drive assembly provided at the upper end of the support base 1.

[0034] When vegetables need to be dehydrated, remove the inner liner cover 7, place the vegetables inside the inner liner 6, and replace the inner liner cover 7 to prevent the vegetables from flying out during dehydration. Activate the drive assembly to rotate the conical head 5. The rotation of the conical head 5, through the disassembly and assembly assembly, drives the inner liner 6 to rotate, thereby causing the vegetables inside the inner liner 6 to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the water remaining on the surface of the vegetables is shaken out and discharged into the outer cylinder 2 through the water outlet 601. Then, the water in the outer cylinder 2 is discharged through the water outlet pipe 3, thus effectively dehydrating the vegetables. After the vegetables are dehydrated, rotate the cylinder cover 4 to remove it, and then remove the inner liner cover 7. Disassemble the disassembly and assembly assembly to remove the inner liner 6, making it easy to remove the vegetables inside the inner liner 6. This also facilitates thorough cleaning of the inner liner 6 and the outer cylinder 2, preventing incomplete cleaning from causing excessive microorganisms and thus not affecting production hygiene indicators.

[0035] By incorporating a disassembly and assembly component, the inner liner 6 can be removed, solving the problems of existing technologies that make it inconvenient to remove dehydrated vegetables and thoroughly clean the inner liner 6 and outer cylinder 2, thus ensuring that production hygiene standards are not affected.

[0036] The assembly and disassembly assembly includes multiple snap-fit ​​strips 8 fixed to the side wall of the inner liner 6. Multiple snap-fit ​​grooves 501 that mate with the snap-fit ​​strips 8 are formed on the side wall of the conical head 5. A screw 9 is fixed to the upper end of the conical head 5, and a stop block 10 is screwed onto the screw 9.

[0037] When the inner liner 6 needs to be installed, rotate the stop block 10 to remove it, then insert the inner liner 6 onto the conical head 5, and simultaneously insert the inner liner 6 onto the screw rod 9, and insert the snap-fit ​​strip 8 into the snap-fit ​​groove 501. Screw the stop block 10 onto the screw rod 9, and press the stop block 10 against the upper end of the inner liner 6, thus allowing the inner liner 6 to be installed. When the inner liner 6 needs to be removed, rotate the stop block 10 to remove it, thus allowing the inner liner 6 to be removed.

[0038] The removable inner liner cover 7 includes multiple slots 602 formed on the side wall of the inner liner 6, and multiple retaining strips 11 are fixed on the side wall of the inner liner cover 7.

[0039] When the inner liner cover 7 needs to be closed, insert the multiple locking strips 11 into the locking groove 602, rotate the inner liner cover 7 so that the locking strips 11 abut against one side wall of the locking groove 602, thereby closing the inner liner cover 7 and ensuring that the inner liner cover 7 will not fly out when the inner liner 6 is rotated. When the inner liner cover 7 needs to be removed, rotate the inner liner cover 7 so that the locking strips 11 abut against the other side wall of the locking groove 602, thereby removing the inner liner cover 7.

[0040] The drive assembly includes a first pulley 12 fixed to the lower end of the conical head 5, a motor 13 fixed to the upper end of the support base 1, a second pulley 14 fixed to the output end of the motor 13, and the same belt 15 installed on the first pulley 12 and the second pulley 14.

[0041] When it is necessary to rotate the conical head 5, start the motor 13 to drive the second pulley 14 to rotate. The rotation of the second pulley 14 drives the first pulley 12 to rotate through the belt 15, thereby driving the conical head 5 to rotate.

[0042] The edges of several water outlet holes 601 are rounded.

[0043] This invention prevents vegetables from being scratched by the edge of the water outlet 601, and also prevents workers' hands from being cut by the edge of the water outlet 601 during the process of removing vegetables, thereby improving the practicality of this invention.

[0044] The bottom of the outer cylinder 2 is set with a conical surface.

[0045] When the water is thrown out into the outer cylinder 2, it can be quickly discharged through the water outlet pipe 3 to prevent the water from accumulating at the bottom of the outer cylinder 2.

[0046] The upper end of the inner liner cover 7 is rotatably connected to a lifting ring 16.

[0047] After removing the inner liner cover 7, it is easier to place the inner liner cover 7.

[0048] Working principle:

[0049] When vegetables need to be dehydrated, rotate the cylinder cover 4 to remove it, rotate the stop block 10 to remove it, then insert the inner liner 6 containing the vegetables onto the conical head 5, simultaneously inserting the inner liner 6 onto the screw 9 and inserting the retaining strip 8 into the retaining groove 501. Screw the stop block 10 onto the screw 9, pressing it against the upper end of the inner liner 6, thus installing the inner liner 6. Then install the cylinder cover 4 onto the outer cylinder 2, and cover it with the inner liner cover 7 to prevent the vegetables from flying out during the dehydration process. Start the motor 13, driving the second pulley 14 to rotate. The rotation of the second pulley 14 drives the first pulley 12 to rotate via the belt 15, thereby driving the conical head 5 to rotate. The head 5 rotates, driving the inner liner 6 to rotate via multiple locking strips 8. This causes the vegetables inside the inner liner 6 to rotate, and under centrifugal force, the water remaining on the surface of the vegetables is shaken out. The shaken water is then discharged into the outer cylinder 2 through the water outlet 601, and then discharged from the outer cylinder 2 through the water outlet pipe 3. This effectively dehydrates the vegetables. After the vegetables are dehydrated, the cylinder cover 4 is rotated to remove it, and then the inner liner cover 7 is removed. The stop block 10 is rotated to remove it, allowing the inner liner 6 to be taken out. This facilitates the removal of the vegetables from the inner liner 6 and also allows for thorough cleaning of the inner liner 6 and the outer cylinder 2, preventing incomplete cleaning from causing excessive microorganisms and thus ensuring that production hygiene indicators are not affected.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model. These improvements and modifications assumed above should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
