Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food machinery, specifically to a rapid drying line for bagged food. Background Technology

[0002] The packaging of Hulatang (a type of spicy soup) includes small meat packets. After the meat packets are bagged, the oil stains on the packaging bags need to be cleaned. After cleaning, they need to be air-dried before being bagged again. Generally, an air-drying line is used for this process. However, with existing air-drying lines, if the air volume is too large, the packaging bags may be blown over, affecting transportation. If the air volume is too small, a longer air-drying line is required.

[0003] A patent publication number (CN221624174U) was found, entitled "A Sterilization and Drying System for Bagged Goji Berry Pulp." The patent specifically discloses a sterilization and drying system for bagged goji berry pulp, comprising a tunnel spray sterilization device, a cooling device, a vibration dewatering device, and an air-drying device arranged sequentially. The tunnel spray sterilization device includes a sterilization chamber, inside which are a conveyor belt, a spray device, a water tank, and a heating device. The conveyor belt has multiple through holes, entering from one end of the sterilization chamber and exiting from the other, transporting the bagged goji berry pulp to the cooling device. A spray device is located above the conveyor belt, and a water tank is located below the conveyor belt. The water tank contains a heating device that generates water... Steam sterilizes the bagged goji berry pulp on the conveyor belt. Simultaneously, heated water is pumped to a spraying device via a circulating water pump. The hot water sprayed from the spraying device sterilizes the bagged goji berry pulp on the conveyor belt. The sterilized water falls into a water storage tank through the through holes in the conveyor belt. The air-drying device includes multiple fans and three conveyor belts arranged in sequence. The fans are distributed above the three conveyor belts and blow air onto them. All three conveyor belts are inclined upwards, with the upper end of the first conveyor belt higher than the lower end of the second conveyor belt, and the upper end of the second conveyor belt higher than the lower end of the third conveyor belt. This arrangement is to allow the bagged goji berry pulp to turn over and be dried on both sides. The bagged goji berry pulp can turn over when it falls from the upper end of the conveyor belt.

[0004] Analysis of the publicly available materials shows that although bagged products can be air-dried, excessive airflow can easily blow the bags over, causing them to move downwards and affecting transportation efficiency. If the airflow is reduced, more fans are needed, making rapid air-drying impossible. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a rapid air-drying line for bagged food, which can not only air-dry the bagged food, but also has high work efficiency and saves costs.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-2 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown: Example

[0023] A rapid air-drying line for bagged food includes side plates 1, which are vertically arranged with a gap between two side plates 1 and are fixedly connected. A fan frame 2 is installed on the upper surface of the side plate 1, and a fan 3 is installed on the fan frame 2. The line also includes a conveyor chain 4, which is located inside the side plate 1 and is inclined. A limiting mechanism includes a protective mesh plate 6 installed above the conveyor chain 4. The protective mesh plate 6 is connected to a frame 5, and a cylinder 7 is installed above the frame 5 and fixed to the side plate 1. A fan 3 structure includes an air duct 10 installed on the fan frame 2, and a collecting groove 11 is connected to the lower end of the air duct 10.

[0024] In this embodiment, the side plate 1 provides support, forming a frame structure. A wind frame 2 is installed on the upper end of the side plate 1, and a fan 3 is mounted on the wind frame 2. The bagged food is transported using a conveyor chain 4, which is a wire mesh structure with a permeable design. A limiting mechanism is installed above the conveyor chain 4 to prevent the bags from being blown over. Specifically, the limiting mechanism includes a protective mesh plate 6, which is connected to a frame 5, and the frame 5 is connected to a cylinder 7. The fan 3 uses indiscriminate blowing. An air duct 10 is connected to the port of the fan 3, and the air outlet of the air duct 10 is connected to a converging groove 11. The converging groove 11 has a solid design with a V-shaped vertical cross-section and an open bottom. The advantage of the solid design is that it can evenly blow air onto the bags on the conveyor chain 4. Example

[0025] The number of transport chains 4 is several, all of which are inclined and parallel to each other, and are connected by a motor that drives the transport chains 4 to operate via a shaft.

[0026] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the transport chains 4 are arranged at an angle and are parallel to each other. At the vertical position of the intersection, they are superimposed on each other and fall from the top of one transport chain 4 to the bottom of the second transport chain 4. Example

[0027] The protective mesh plate 6 is evenly provided with mesh holes. The protective mesh plate 6 is parallel to the upper end face of the transport chain 4 and has a gap between it and the upper end face of the transport chain 4.

[0028] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the protective mesh plate 6 serves to prevent the bags from being blown over, does not obstruct the passage of wind, and leaves a gap between it and the transport chain 4 to avoid obstructing the movement of the bags. Example

[0029] The frame 5 is rectangular and is set on the four sides of the protective mesh plate 6, and drives the protective mesh plate 6 to move.

[0030] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the frame 5 serves a fixing effect, used to support the protective mesh plate 6. Example

[0031] The side plate 1 is provided with a guide rail, which is connected to the frame 5 by a sliding connection.

[0032] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the guide rail is used to stabilize the movement of the frame 5. Example

[0033] A vibrating screen 9 is provided on one side of the side plate 1. One end of the vibrating screen 9 is located above the conveyor chain 4 and on the outer edge of the frame 5.

[0034] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the vibrating screen 9 can help control water.

[0035] The working method (or working principle) of this utility model:

[0036] In operation, the washed bagged meat packages undergo initial water removal via a vibrating screen 9, then fall from one end of the screen onto a conveyor chain 4. The conveyor chain 4 then transports the packages upwards. Simultaneously, a cylinder 7 drives a frame 5 downwards, ensuring that the lower end of the protective mesh plate 6 on the frame 5 does not contact the bags and that the distance between them is kept minimal. Furthermore, the protective mesh plate 6 helps to level any bags that are not fully laid out on the conveyor chain 4, facilitating surface drying. As the bags pass under the protective mesh plate 6, the airflow is increased, preventing the bags from being blown over. Additionally, the collecting trough 11 is a continuous design, and the lower air outlet 12 is also continuous and elongated, allowing for even airflow.

[0037] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components or an interaction between two components. Unless otherwise explicitly limited, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
