Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to an automatic drying, seasoning and stirring device for shrimp chips. Background Technology

[0002] Shrimp chips are a type of long, puffed snack made primarily from shrimp powder or shrimp-flavored seasoning. They have a crispy texture and are a popular snack. Their production process typically includes puffing, seasoning, and drying. The finished product has a rich shrimp flavor and is commonly found in supermarkets, snack shops, and other retail channels.

[0003] Currently, the processing of shrimp chips requires the use of multiple devices for step-by-step processing. This not only occupies a large area, but also requires the raw materials to be transferred between different devices, resulting in a long overall processing cycle. Furthermore, the seasoning and drying of shrimp chips are generally carried out on conveyor devices, which leads to uneven contact between the seasoning and the shrimp chips, requiring a lot of stirring time, and the drying effect is generally not ideal.

The mixing component 3 is existing technology, and its working principle is similar to that of a concrete mixer. A spiral blade is provided inside the mixing drum. When the mixing drum rotates, the spiral blade pushes the shrimp crackers towards the drum opening. Through spiral guidance and gravity assistance, mixing and discharge are achieved. Further details are omitted here. An inlet is provided on the drying box 2, and the discharge end of the mixing component 3 is located inside the inlet. The support frame 1 is equipped with... There is a belt conveyor device 4, which is existing technology. The belt conveyor device 4 drives the belt to circulate through a drive device, combined with idler roller support, guiding device, and tension control, to achieve continuous and stable material transmission. Details will not be elaborated here. A connecting frame 5 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1. A vibration assembly is installed on the connecting frame 5. The vibration assembly includes a receiving plate 6 slidably connected to the connecting frame 5. Multiple first springs 7 are fixedly connected to the connecting frame 5, and the receiving plate 6 is fixedly connected to the multiple first springs 7. A servo motor 8 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 5, and an elliptical plate 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating end of the servo motor 8. Multiple bearing plates 10 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber 2. Multiple sets of second springs 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber 2. The multiple sets of second springs 11 are divided into... Each of the multiple support plates 10 is fixedly connected to a corresponding second spring 11. A movable frame 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the receiving plate 6. A lifting port is opened on the inner wall of the drying chamber 2, and the movable frame 12 slides in the lifting port. Multiple fixing blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the movable frame 12, and each fixing block 13 corresponds to one of the multiple support plates 10. Baffles 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the receiving plate 6 and the multiple support plates 10 to prevent the shrimp strips from sliding off the sides of the receiving plate 6 and the support plates 10. A drying assembly is installed on the drying chamber 2. The drying assembly includes a hot air circulator 14 fixedly installed on the support frame 1. The hot air circulator 14 is existing technology, which generates high-temperature air by heating, forced circulation by a fan, and temperature control. Precise adjustment and dehumidification of moisture form a closed-loop workflow to achieve the drying of shrimp sticks. Details will not be elaborated here. The outlet of the hot air circulation machine 14 is connected to a multi-headed air outlet pipe 15, and the multiple outlets of the air outlet pipe 15 are all connected to the drying chamber 2. The inlet of the hot air circulation machine 14 is connected to a multi-headed air inlet pipe, and the multiple intake ends of the multi-headed air inlet pipe are all connected to the drying chamber 2. A seasoning dispenser 16 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 5. The dispensing end of the seasoning dispenser 16 is directly connected to the material plate 6. The seasoning dispenser 16 is existing technology. This device utilizes the principle of impact or vibration, and through the design of the container and the perforated lid, it achieves uniform seasoning distribution. During use, by gently lifting or shaking the container, the seasoning is sprinkled from the lid holes onto the food surface. Details will not be elaborated here.

[0020] In use, the shrimp strips fall from the belt conveyor 4 onto the receiving plate 6. Simultaneously, the servo motor 8 drives the elliptical plate 9 to rotate, causing it to continuously impact the receiving plate 6. Limited by the first spring 7, the receiving plate 6 vibrates up and down. Then, the seasoning dispenser 16 dispenses seasoning onto the receiving plate 6. The vibration of the receiving plate 6 ensures more even contact between the seasoning and the shrimp strips, facilitating subsequent mixing. Afterward, the shrimp strips fall into the mixing assembly 3, ensuring even mixing. Once mixed, the shrimp strips enter the drying chamber 2 for drying. During this process, the moving frame 12 moves up and down with the support plate 10, thereby causing the fixed block 1... 3. The material continuously impacts the support plate 10, and then, under the limit of the second spring 11, the support plate 10 vibrates up and down. At the same time, the hot air circulation machine 14 starts to work, and the hot air is discharged through the air outlet of the multi-head air outlet pipe 15. The hot air dries the shrimp strips on the support plate 10. The up and down vibration of the support plate 10 ensures that the shrimp strips on the support plate 10 are in full contact with the hot air, which improves the drying quality and efficiency. The dried gas with moisture is absorbed by the air intake of the multi-head air inlet pipe. The whole device integrates material spreading, mixing and drying, occupies less space, reduces the transfer time of raw materials between different equipment, and significantly improves processing efficiency and product quality.
