Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehumidification system technology, specifically to a surface dehumidification and drying system for ginger. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaned ginger has a clean surface, free of dirt and impurities, making it more aesthetically pleasing and cleaner. This significantly enhances its market appeal. In supermarkets and farmers' markets, clean ginger is more likely to attract consumers, helping to increase its price and sales volume. Moreover, cleaned ginger better meets modern consumers' requirements for food hygiene and quality, satisfying their expectations for fresh and clean ingredients.

[0003] The dirt and impurities on the surface of ginger may contain moisture, which can affect the humidity of the storage environment and increase the risk of rotting. Washing away these impurities reduces the surface humidity of the ginger, creating a relatively dry storage condition, inhibiting microbial growth, and extending the storage time. At the same time, washing makes it easier to inspect the ginger for damage or disease, allowing for the timely removal of problematic individuals and preventing them from affecting other ginger during storage.

[0004] Currently, the main drying method used is coal-fired boilers. The hot air generated by the boilers is released into the room and accelerated by fans in various directions, heating and drying the washed ginger. Once the indoor temperature and humidity reach a certain level, warm, humid air is released and fresh air is drawn in. In the process of expelling moisture and heat, this process is repeated several times, approximately 13 hours, to achieve the required surface drying standard. A 100-square-meter drying warehouse can hold 10 tons of ginger at a time, with a dehumidification rate of about 0.9%. This means that 900 kilograms of water need to be removed from this warehouse of ginger through hot air. This requires 500 kilograms of high-quality coal (priced at 1200 yuan / ton), fuel costs of 600 yuan, and labor costs of 300 yuan, totaling 900 yuan. The average drying cost per kilogram of ginger is 0.09 yuan. Such long-term, large-scale coal burning will pollute the surrounding air.

[0005] The shortcomings of existing technology have gradually become apparent with use, mainly in the following aspects:

[0006] The current method involves placing a dehumidifier in the ginger storage room to dehumidify the humid air. However, due to the poor air circulation and low temperature inside the ginger storage room, the dehumidifier's dehumidification efficiency is low, which affects the storage environment of the ginger.

[0007] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a surface dehumidification and drying system for ginger. This system solves the problem that in traditional technologies, operators place a dehumidifier in the ginger storage room to dehumidify the humid air. However, due to the poor air circulation and low temperature inside the ginger storage room, the dehumidifier's dehumidification efficiency is low, which affects the ginger storage environment.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0010] A surface dehumidification and drying system for ginger includes a storage chamber, with air blowing structures located at the four corners of the storage chamber. Each air blowing structure has a filter screen at its inlet and a heating wire structure inside.

[0011] The inlets and outlets of the adjacent blowing structures are arranged opposite each other, and the air in the storage chamber forms an annular flow channel along the area where the four blowing structures are located.

[0012] As an optimized solution, the air outlet direction of the blowing structure can also be set by adjusting the structure's oscillation.

[0013] As an optimized solution, several dehumidifiers are arranged side by side in the storage room, and the condensate outlets of the dehumidifiers extend to the outside of the storage room.

[0014] As an optimized solution, the blowing structure includes a right-angled housing, and the outlet end of the right-angled housing is connected to a fan via a corrugated hose, the fan being oscillating.

[0015] As an optimized solution, the adjustment structure includes a fan frame fixed to the inner wall of the storage chamber, a hinge shaft fixed to the housing of the fan, the hinge shaft being hinged to the fan frame, a drive motor fixed to the outer wall of the fan frame, and the output shaft of the drive motor being connected to the hinge shaft.

[0016] As an optimized solution, the filter screen is fixed to the inlet end of the right-angled shell.

[0017] As an optimized solution, a cleaning plate is provided on the outer wall of the filter screen for reciprocating sliding and frictional contact with the outer wall.

[0018] As an optimized solution, a lead screw is provided on one side of the outer wall of the filter screen for horizontal rotation, and the cleaning plate is threadedly connected to the lead screw.

[0019] As an optimized solution, two connecting plates are fixedly connected side by side to the outlet end of the right-angle housing, and the two ends of the lead screw are rotatably mounted on the two connecting plates, with a drive motor for driving the lead screw to rotate fixedly connected to one of the connecting plates.

[0020] As an optimized solution, the connecting plate is provided with slag discharge holes, and the lower edge of the slag discharge holes is flush with the outer wall of the filter screen.

[0021] As an optimized solution, the heating wire structure is fixed inside the right-angled housing.

[0022] As an optimized solution, the right-angled shell is fixed to the inner wall of the storage chamber by a shell frame.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] By installing air blowing structures at the four corners of the storage room, the air in the storage room is circulated, improving the air flow and humidity uniformity. Then, the dehumidifier in the storage room is used to improve the dehumidification and drying efficiency and uniformity of the air in the storage room.

[0025] By incorporating a heating wire structure, indoor air is heated, and when combined with a dehumidifier, the drying efficiency of indoor air is further improved.

[0026] The dehumidifier's condensate outlet extends to the outside of the storage room and is discharged outdoors. The dehumidified hot air returns directly to circulate with the indoor hot air, repeating the cycle continuously. The hot air circulates only indoors and does not need to be discharged outdoors, saving a lot of heat. The reduction in indoor air humidity also accelerates the dissipation of moisture from the ginger. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The inlets and outlets of adjacent air blowing structures 2 are arranged opposite each other, and the air in the storage chamber 1 forms an annular flow channel 5 along the area where the four air blowing structures 2 are located.

[0034] Four air blowing structures 2, two of which are located at opposite top corners of storage chamber 1, and the other two are located at opposite bottom corners of storage chamber 1.

[0035] The air outlet direction of the blowing structure 2 is also set by adjusting the structure's swing.

[0036] Several dehumidifiers 3 are arranged side by side in the storage chamber 1, and the condensate outlet 4 of the dehumidifiers 3 extends to the outside of the storage chamber 1.

[0037] The blower structure 2 includes a right-angle housing 6, and the outlet end of the right-angle housing 6 is connected to a fan 14 via a corrugated hose 15. The fan 14 is oscillating.

[0038] The adjustment structure includes a fan frame 16 fixed to the inner wall of the storage chamber 1, a hinge shaft fixed to the housing of the fan 14, the hinge shaft being hinged to the fan frame 16, and a drive motor 17 fixed to the outer wall of the fan frame 16, the output shaft of the drive motor 17 being connected to the hinge shaft.

[0039] The filter screen 8 is fixed to the inlet end of the right-angle housing 6.

[0040] A cleaning plate 10 is provided on the outer wall of the filter screen 8, which slides back and forth and rubs against the outer wall.

[0041] A lead screw 9 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the filter screen 8 for horizontal rotation, and the cleaning plate 10 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 9.

[0042] Two connecting plates 11 are fixedly connected side by side at the outlet end of the right-angle housing 6. The two ends of the lead screw 9 are rotatably mounted on the two connecting plates 11.
