Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a vegetable dehydrator, belonging to the field of food processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of food processing and cooking, vegetable dehydration is a crucial pretreatment step, and its importance is self-evident. From home kitchens to large catering enterprises, and even in food industrial production, efficient, convenient dehydration equipment that can preserve the quality of ingredients to the greatest extent is needed. Traditional vegetable dehydration methods, such as natural sun-drying, are limited by weather and site conditions, resulting in low dehydration efficiency and susceptibility to external contamination such as dust and insects, leading to poor food hygiene. While hot air drying equipment can improve the dehydration speed to some extent, its high-temperature environment can easily damage heat-sensitive nutrients in vegetables, altering the color and taste of the ingredients, and it also consumes a lot of energy, resulting in high operating costs.

[0003] With the rapid development of the catering industry and the fast pace of life, the demand for vegetable dehydration equipment is increasingly trending towards miniaturization, multi-functionality, and high efficiency. Existing equipment on the market has many limitations. For example, some centrifugal dehydrators rely on centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation. While they dehydrate quickly, these devices are typically bulky, occupying significant kitchen space and requiring cumbersome cleaning and maintenance. Other simple pressing dehydration tools often require manual force, resulting in high labor intensity, uneven dehydration, and extremely low efficiency for processing large quantities of food, failing to meet the fast-paced demands of modern kitchens. Furthermore, most existing equipment cannot effectively collect water during the dehydration process, causing water to splash everywhere, increasing the burden of kitchen cleaning and potentially posing safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a vegetable dehydrator to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A vegetable dehydrator includes a top cover and an upper bucket disposed on the lower end face of the top cover. The outer surface of the upper bucket has threads. An inner bucket and an outer bucket are sequentially fitted around the upper bucket. The upper edge of the inner wall of the inner bucket has a positioning protrusion that engages with the threads. Drainage holes are provided on the bottom wall and / or side wall of the inner bucket. The upper edge of the inner bucket abuts against the upper edge of the outer bucket to form a water storage cavity between the outer wall of the inner bucket and the inner wall of the outer bucket. The top cover and the inner bucket have handles. The upper edge of the outer bucket has a groove that engages with the handle of the inner bucket.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper barrel is engaged with the upper cover via a positioning ring. The upper edge of the positioning ring has a positioning spring, and the bottom wall of the upper cover has positioning teeth that cooperate with the positioning spring.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper edge of the inner tub is recessed to form a snap-fit ​​groove, and the threaded part is fitted onto the bottom of the outer side of the inner tub and extends upward to form a positioning protrusion that snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a rotary switch, on the inner wall of which are evenly distributed multiple limiting protrusions that engage with the thread.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotary switch has a handle.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This utility model of vegetable dehydrator has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Users can complete the dehydration process simply by rotating it, which lowers the threshold of use and is suitable for different groups of people. It adopts a squeezing dehydration method. The upper barrel rotates along the threaded part to squeeze the food in the inner barrel, so that the water is fully filtered out from the water outlet and flows into the water storage area, realizing efficient separation of water and vegetables, ensuring thorough dehydration of vegetables, minimizing mechanical damage to vegetables, and facilitating subsequent cooking or preservation.

[0019] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1-3As shown, the vegetable dehydrator includes a top cover 01 and an upper bucket 02 disposed on the lower end face of the top cover 01. The outer surface of the upper bucket 02 has threads. An inner bucket 03 and an outer bucket 04 are sequentially fitted around the upper bucket 02. The upper edge of the inner wall of the inner bucket 03 has a positioning protrusion 61 that engages with the threads. Drainage holes are provided on the bottom wall and / or side wall of the inner bucket 03. The upper edge of the inner bucket 03 and the upper edge of the outer bucket 04 abut against each other to form a water storage cavity between the outer wall of the inner bucket 03 and the inner wall of the outer bucket 04. The top cover 01 and the inner bucket 03 have handles. The upper edge of the outer bucket 04 has a groove 41 that engages with the handle of the inner bucket 03.

[0021] When using, place the vegetables to be dehydrated in the inner bucket 03, then insert the top cover 01 and the upper bucket 02. The threaded engagement of the upper bucket 02 with the positioning protrusion 61 is achieved. Rotate the top cover 01, and the upper bucket 02 will descend by rotating the thread. Once it reaches contact with the vegetables, it will begin to squeeze. The squeezed water will flow into the water storage chamber through the drain hole for collection. Rotate the top cover 01 until it can no longer be rotated, indicating that the vegetables have been fully squeezed and the dehydration is complete. Rotate the top cover 01 in the opposite direction to open it, remove the dehydrated vegetables, and proceed to the next cooking step. The water can be poured out from the outer bucket 04 after removing the inner bucket 03.

[0022] In another embodiment of this utility model, the upper barrel 02 is engaged with the upper cover 01 by a positioning ring 05. The upper edge of the positioning ring 05 has a positioning spring 51, and the bottom wall of the upper cover 01 has positioning teeth that cooperate with the positioning spring 51. The positioning ring 05 allows the upper barrel 02 to rotate continuously in the same direction. That is, during the squeezing and dehydration process, the upper cover 01 can be rotated in the opposite direction (against the thread direction) and then rotated normally (with the thread direction). This allows for continuous squeezing without letting go, thus ensuring the dehydration effect.

[0023] In another embodiment of the present invention, the upper edge of the inner barrel 03 is recessed to form a snap-fit ​​groove 31, and the threaded part 06 is sleeved on the outer bottom of the inner barrel 03 and extends upward to form a positioning protrusion 61 that snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 31.

[0024] In another embodiment of this utility model, a rotary switch 07 is also included. Multiple limiting protrusions that engage with the thread are evenly distributed on the inner side wall of the rotary switch 07. That is, the rotary switch 07 forms a limit on the thread. When the limiting protrusion is rotated to a stroke away from the thread, the upper bucket 02 can rotate and descend. When the upper bucket 02 descends to a certain extent, the rotary switch 07 can be rotated to make the limiting protrusion abut against the thread, so that the upper bucket 02 cannot move.

[0025] In another embodiment of this utility model, the rotary switch 07 has a handle to facilitate the rotation of the rotary switch 07.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
