TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to food processing equipment technical field, concretely is a food manufacturing drying machine with circulating convection mechanism. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the food manufacturing industry, drying process is an important link to ensure food quality and prolong shelf life. For the production of tablet candies, health food tablets, powders and beverages, the quality of the products is directly affected by the drying process. However, the existing food manufacturing drying machine has many shortcomings.
[0003] Most traditional drying machines use simple hot air direct blowing method, which lacks effective circulating convection mechanism. This leads to uneven distribution of hot air in the drying box. The area near the air inlet has higher temperature, and the food is easily over-dried, causing surface cracking, nutrient loss and other problems. The area far from the air inlet has slow drying speed due to insufficient heat exchange, and the food drying degree is insufficient, which cannot meet the expected water content standard. This uneven drying effect not only affects the taste and quality consistency of the product, but also may cause some products to become substandard due to unqualified drying, increasing production cost.
[0004] For example, a food drying device with publication number CN212393765U, the food drying machine body is internally provided with a food drying inner cavity, the food drying inner cavity is internally provided with an auxiliary shaft on one side, and the food drying inner cavity is internally provided with a shaft penetratingly connected with a servo motor on the other side, the shaft of the servo motor and the auxiliary shaft are connected with a main shaft through a shaft coupling, the main shaft is externally connected with a food fixing block, and the food fixing block is provided with a plurality of food fixing blocks. The food drying device has the defects of hot air circulation and convection design of the drying machine, which causes the hot air to flow disorderly, the material to dry unevenly, and the product taste, pass rate and stability to be affected. However, it still has other problems. The air duct of the traditional drying machine is usually fixed, which cannot realize full-range and uniform blowing of the food, and the different parts of the food have different contact degrees with the hot air, so that the evaporation speed of the water in each part of the food is different. When drying blocky food, the evaporation of water on the surface and inside of the block is quite different, which easily causes the situation of dry outside and wet inside, seriously affecting the product quality. The fixed air duct makes it difficult for the hot air to penetrate the material layer, and the water in the deep layer of the material is difficult to evaporate quickly, greatly prolonging the drying time and reducing the production efficiency.
