Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tofu skin processing technology, and in particular to a rapid tofu skin drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Tofu skin is a traditional Chinese soy product made from soybeans. It is used in many famous dishes in both southern and northern China. Tofu skin is neutral in nature and sweet in taste. It has the effects of clearing heat and moistening the lungs, relieving cough and phlegm, nourishing the stomach, detoxifying, and stopping sweating. Tofu skin is rich in nutrients, with high protein and amino acid content. According to modern scientific analysis, it also contains 18 trace elements that are essential for the human body, such as iron, calcium, and molybdenum.
[0003] Drying tofu skin is an important step in the tofu skin processing. The traditional method of drying tofu skin is natural sun drying, which is relatively simple and low-cost, but takes a long time. Therefore, hot air drying is generally used nowadays. However, when drying tofu skin, the hot air is directly discharged after drying the tofu skin, resulting in low heat utilization and a large amount of heat energy that cannot be reused, which easily leads to a lot of energy waste.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

A plug 810 is inserted into the front end of the outer wall of the drain pipe 800. Water in the condensate in the waste heat recovery frame 700 can be discharged from the drain pipe 800 by opening the plug 810.
[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, firstly, the tofu skin to be dried is laid on the drying mesh 210, then the insertion frame 200 is inserted into the placement slot 110. Next, the spiral heating wire 520 and the blower 600 are activated. The blower 600 pumps outside air into the heating chamber 510 through the connecting pipe 620. Simultaneously, the spiral heating wire 520 heats the air in the heating chamber 510, and the high-temperature air is pumped into the annular guide groove 300 through the connecting pipe 530 and the connecting branch pipe 540. The hot air in the annular guide groove 300 enters through the hole 310. The air is drawn into the drying tank 120, thereby heating the insertion frame 200 in the placement slot 110 above the drying tank 120, and drying the tofu skin laid on the drying net 210. At the same time, cold water can be added to the heating pot 710 above the device. The hot air after drying the tofu skin can enter the connecting pipe 730 through the connecting branch pipe 2 720, and then flow into the waste heat recovery frame 700 to heat the heating pot 710 in the waste heat recovery frame 700, thereby heating the water in the heating pot 710, realizing the recovery and utilization of the residual heat in the hot air.
