Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehumidifier technology, specifically to a track-type steam dehumidifier. Background Technology
[0002] In food processing, such as the production of bean curd sheets, dry materials are prone to breakage during processing or packaging, requiring the addition of moisture—a process known as rehydration. The conventional approach is to place the material in a humid environment for a period of time. This method is space-consuming and labor-intensive, making it unsuitable for large-scale food processing. Another method is to spray liquid into the material, but this method is not very effective as it doesn't penetrate deeply. Therefore, a highly efficient rehydration device with good penetration is needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a track-type steam rehumidifier to solve the technical problems of low working efficiency and insufficient rehumidification effect of existing rehumidification devices.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] Design a track-type steam rehumidification machine, including a steam generating mechanism and a track conveying mechanism. The steam generating mechanism includes a heating tank and a water tank. The heating tank is connected to an inlet pipe and a steam outlet pipe. The inlet pipe is connected to the water tank and is connected to an inlet pump. The water tank is also connected to a water filling pipe, which is equipped with a water filling solenoid valve. A first liquid level sensor is installed in the heating tank, and a second liquid level sensor is installed in the water tank. The first liquid level sensor is connected to the inlet pump to control the inlet pump to add water to the heating tank, and the second liquid level sensor is connected to the water filling solenoid valve to control the water filling solenoid valve to add water to the water tank.
[0006] The track conveying mechanism includes a support slide rail, a dial wheel, a steam box, and a material box. The dial wheel is spaced apart inside the support slide rail to move the material box along the support slide rail. The bottom of the material box is provided with a baffle corresponding to the dial wheel. The steam box is located below the support slide rail and is connected to the steam outlet pipe. At least two spaced material box detection sensors are provided above the steam box.
[0007] Furthermore, the steam generating mechanism also includes a housing, which is divided into an upper part and a lower part by a middle partition. The heating tank and the water pump are located in the lower part, and the water tank is located in the upper part.
[0008] Furthermore, the steam outlet pipe extends from the heating tank through the upper part to the top of the shell. A one-way valve is also provided on the steam outlet pipe, and a pressure relief branch pipe is connected to the steam outlet pipe, with a pressure relief valve provided on the pressure relief branch pipe.
[0009] Furthermore, a pressure gauge and a pressure switch are connected to the steam outlet pipe, and the pressure switch is electrically connected to the heating tank.
[0010] Furthermore, a rust remover tank is also provided in the upper part, and the rust remover tank is connected to the water tank through a rust remover pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, the support slide rail is inclined, and a ramp is provided at the end of the support slide rail.
[0012] Furthermore, the dials are spaced in multiple sets, each set including one dial on each side of the support slide rail, and adjacent sets of dials are connected by a chain and sprocket structure.
[0013] Furthermore, a protective cover is provided on the support slide rail, through which the material box can pass.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. This utility model adopts a track-type steam rehumidification method, insulating steam from the bottom upwards. The steam can completely penetrate the material through the interior, resulting in better performance. Using a track to continuously transport the material through the steam box further increases efficiency.
[0016] 2. The sensor installed on the track of this utility model can detect whether the material has reached the steam box, so as to avoid the equipment running dry when there is no material. The steam generator can automatically control the addition of water and rust remover, and the whole device has a high degree of automation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. However, the following examples are only used to illustrate this utility model in detail and do not limit the scope of this utility model in any way.
[0023] Example 1: A track-mounted steam rehumidifier, see [link / reference] Figures 1 to 4 ,include Figure 1 The steam generating mechanism shown and Figure 2 The track conveying mechanism shown includes a steam generating mechanism comprising a stainless steel housing 1, which is divided into an upper section and a lower section by a middle partition. The lower section contains a heating tank 2 and a water pump 3, while the upper section contains a water tank 4 and a rust remover bucket 5.
[0024] The heating tank 2 is connected to a water inlet pipe 11 and a steam outlet pipe 12. The water inlet pipe 11 of the heating tank 2 is connected to the outlet 13 of the water pump 3 via a flexible hose (not shown in the figure). The water tank 4 is connected to the inlet 14 of the water pump 3 via a pipe. Due to the high pressure inside the heating tank 2, water from the water tank 4 needs to be added to the heating tank 2 via the water pump 3. The steam outlet pipe 12 extends from the heating tank 2 through the upper part to the top of the shell 1. A one-way valve is also installed on the steam outlet pipe 12. A pressure relief branch pipe is also connected to the steam outlet pipe 12, and a pressure relief valve 15 is installed on the pressure relief branch pipe. A pressure gauge 16 and a pressure switch 17 are also connected to the steam outlet pipe 12. The pressure switch 17 is electrically connected to the heating tank 2.
[0025] An external water supply pipe is connected to water tank 4 for replenishing water to the tank. This pipe is equipped with a water supply solenoid valve. A first level sensor is installed in heating tank 2, and a second level sensor is installed in water tank 4. The first level sensor is connected to a water inlet pump to control the pump's supply of water to the heating tank, and the second level sensor is connected to the water supply solenoid valve to control the valve's supply of water to the water tank. Water tank 4 and rust remover container 5 are connected via a rust remover pipe, which is connected to a miniature pump.
[0026] An electrical box 6 is also installed inside the housing 1 to control the operation of the steam generating mechanism. Water in the water tank 4 is sent to the heating tank 2 by the water inlet pump 3. The heating tank 2 heats and generates steam, which is output through the steam outlet pipe 12. The pressure gauge 16 can detect the air pressure value in the heating tank 2. When the air pressure is too high, the pressure relief valve 15 can be opened. At the same time, the pressure switch 17 controls the heating tank 2 to stop heating. When the liquid level in the heating tank 2 and the water tank 4 is insufficient, water can be automatically added to the interior. Each time water is added to the water tank 4, the rust remover bucket 5 adds an appropriate amount of rust remover to the water tank.
[0027] The track conveying mechanism includes a support slide rail 21, a pulley 22, a steam box 23, and a material box 24. The pulley 22 is located inside the support slide rail and is used to move the material box 24 along the support slide rail 21. Multiple sets of pulleys 22 are arranged at intervals. Each set of pulleys 22 includes one pulley on each side of the support slide rail. Adjacent sets of pulleys 22 are connected by a chain and sprocket structure. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 The sprocket end has two sprockets, inner and outer. From left to right, the first and second sprockets 22 are connected by the inner sprocket, and the second and third sprockets 22 are connected by the outer sprocket, and so on. A motor 25 is set in the middle of the chain and connected to the sprockets with the same sprocket and chain structure to form a transmission system. The bottom of the material box 24 is provided with a baffle 26 corresponding to the sprocket 22, and the bottom of the material box 24 is hollow. The steam box 23 is set below the support slide rail 21. The bottom or side of the steam box 23 is provided with an air inlet, which is connected to the steam outlet pipe 12 of the steam generating mechanism. A solenoid valve is set at the air inlet. At least two spaced material box detection sensors 27 are set above the steam box 23.
[0028] In this embodiment, the support slide rail 21 is inclined, and a ramp 28 is provided at the end of the support slide rail 21. A protective cover 29 is also provided on the support slide rail 21, through which the material box 24 can pass. During operation, the material box 24 moves from the left to the right under the push of the dial wheel 22. After reaching the second sensor, steam is blown into the steam box 23 through the steam pipe 12. The steam rises into the material box 24. When the material box 24 leaves the first sensor, the air inlet of the steam box 23 is closed to prevent steam from escaping, thus saving energy and preventing steam injury. After passing through multiple steam boxes 23, the material box 24 reaches the far right and is discharged by the ramp 28.
[0029] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, various specific parameters in the above embodiments can be changed to form multiple specific embodiments, all of which are common variations of the present invention, and will not be described in detail here.
