Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable processing technology, specifically to a fruit and vegetable slice drying device. Background Technology

[0002] The fruit and vegetable slice drying equipment adopts the principle of multi-layer hot air utilization and is suitable for dehydration and drying of various Chinese herbal medicines, dried fruits, vegetables and other sliced, block, strip and granular items. It uses pure hot air generated by a hot air furnace to heat and dry the products to be processed, while circulating the air and removing the moisture in the air through a dehumidifier, which can quickly dry and dehydrate the products.

[0003] Fruits and vegetables can be dried after being cut into slices or strips using fruit and vegetable slicing drying equipment. However, some existing fruit and vegetable slicing drying equipment can only dry one side of the fruit and vegetables. After drying one side, the fruit and vegetable slices need to be flipped over to dry the other side. This method is inefficient and can easily lead to the fruit and vegetable slices becoming gelatinized on one side, resulting in unsatisfactory results. While drying equipment with a stirring mechanism can dry fruit and vegetable slices from all directions, stirring can easily damage the slices, making them incomplete and affecting sales. Therefore, a new fruit and vegetable slicing drying equipment is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] Workflow: Before use, fix the workbench 1 in a suitable position and connect the power supply. This device is equipped with an external controller, which is electrically connected to the heating mechanism 2, dehumidification mechanism 3, discharge pipe 6, drive motor 9, and hydraulic cylinder 15. Manual operation of the external controller can adjust the operating status of the heating mechanism 2, dehumidification mechanism 3, discharge pipe 6, drive motor 9, and hydraulic cylinder 15. The heating mechanism 2 and dehumidification mechanism 3 are existing components, and the above are all existing technologies. When using this device, first remove the sealing cover 5 on the upper side of the drying chamber 4, and remove the second mounting frame 16 on the upper side of the first mounting frame 10. Lay the fruit and vegetable slices flat on the first wire mesh plate 13, which supports the fruit and vegetable slices. After a layer of fruit and vegetable slices is laid on the first wire mesh plate 13, the hydraulic cylinder 15 is adjusted by the external controller, causing the hydraulic cylinder 15, which is fixedly connected to the fixing block 14, to extend upward a certain distance. The hydraulic cylinder 15 drives the first wire mesh plate 13 to move upward, and the limiting frame 12 stabilizes the first wire mesh plate 13 upward, making the fruit and vegetable slices roughly aligned with the upper side of the first mounting frame 10. Then, the second mounting frame 16 is placed on the upper side of the first mounting frame 10, and the positioning block 17 is inserted into the positioning sleeve 11. The positioning block 17 and the positioning sleeve 11 can align the second mounting frame 16 with the first mounting frame 10. The second locking buckle fixes the second mounting frame 16 to the first mounting frame 10. At this time, the second wire mesh plate 18 is in contact with the fruit and vegetable slices, and the second wire mesh plate 18... Plate 18 can limit the position of fruit and vegetable slices. Then, the sealing cover 5 is fixed to the drying chamber 4 by the first locking buckle. After ensuring that the discharge pipe 6 is completely closed, the heating mechanism 2, dehumidification mechanism 3 and drive motor 9 are started by the external controller. The heating mechanism 2 heats the air in the drying chamber 4 and the sealing cover 5, and the hot air dries the fruit and vegetable slices. The dehumidification mechanism 3 removes the moisture overflowing from the fruit and vegetable slices from the air. The drive motor 9 drives the rotating shaft 8, which is limited by the limiting seat 7, to rotate, thereby causing the first mounting frame 10 and the second mounting frame 16 to rotate, and causing the first wire mesh plate 13 and the second wire mesh plate 18 to rotate. During the drying process, the volume of the fruit and vegetable slices will slightly shrink. The rotating first wire mesh plate 13 and the second wire mesh plate 18 can... The fruit and vegetable slices are rotated, and due to their reduced size, they have a certain range of motion. During the rotation, the fruit and vegetable slices will have a small displacement relative to the first wire mesh plate 13 and the second wire mesh plate 18, so that the parts of the fruit and vegetable slices that come into contact with the first wire mesh plate 13 and the second wire mesh plate 18 can also be dried. After a period of time, the fruit and vegetable slices are fully dried. A collection box with a mesh bag is placed under the workbench 1. The heating mechanism 2, the dehumidification mechanism 3 and the drive motor 9 are turned off. The sealing cover 5 and the second mounting frame 16 are removed. The switch valve of the discharge pipe 6 and the drive motor 9 are turned on through the external controller. The first mounting frame 10 is rotated through the drive motor 9, so that the dried fruit and vegetable slices can be poured out from the discharge pipe 6 and collected through the collection box.This device can adapt to fruit and vegetable slices of different thicknesses via an adjustable first wire mesh plate 13. The first wire mesh plate 13 and the second wire mesh plate 18 support and limit the fruit and vegetable slices, ensuring even drying on both sides. The rotatable first mounting frame 10 and the second mounting frame 16 rotate the fruit and vegetable slices, causing a small displacement relative to the first wire mesh plate 13 and the second wire mesh plate 18, allowing for thorough drying. This device can dry both sides of the fruit and vegetables simultaneously without flipping them, resulting in high drying efficiency and reducing the risk of one-sided gelatinization. It also ensures the integrity of the fruit and vegetable slices during the drying process without damage.
