Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water chestnut processing technology, specifically a dryer for water chestnut processing. Background Technology

[0002] Euryale ferox is an astringent herb, the dried, mature seed kernel of the Euryale ferox plant (family Nymphaeaceae). It is primarily used in traditional Chinese medicine. To extend the shelf life of medicinal herbs, Euryale ferox seeds are dried to evaporate moisture. Pharmaceutical factories typically use mechanical drying equipment to improve efficiency. Depending on the intended use, Euryale ferox is generally dried in two ways: one is by directly preparing it into a decoction at the pharmaceutical factory, where the requirement for moisture evaporation is lower; the other is for use in traditional Chinese medicine preparations, where patients decoct it themselves, requiring thorough evaporation of moisture to prevent spoilage.

[0003] The utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN218120538U discloses a dryer for processing water chestnuts, including a conveyor belt mounted on a support frame; a heat insulation sleeve fixedly connected to the support frame; two positioning rings fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the heat insulation sleeve; a drying drum passing through the two positioning rings and rotatably connected to the two positioning rings via bearings, wherein the left and right side walls of the drying drum have inlet and outlet channels passing through the drying drum, wherein the conveyor belt passes through the inlet and outlet channels; wherein the circumferential wall of the drying drum has an air guiding cavity, and a plurality of air outlet holes communicating with the air guiding cavity are evenly arranged on the inner circumferential wall of the drying drum; an air inlet hose passing through the heat insulation sleeve and fixedly connected to the drying drum, wherein the air inlet hose communicates with the air guiding cavity; and a drive assembly mounted on the heat insulation sleeve for driving the drying drum to reciprocate.

[0004] As shown in the above-mentioned utility model, existing dryers use a conveyor belt to allow water chestnuts to pass through the inlet and outlet channels. After the water chestnuts enter the drying drum, the inlet hose delivers hot air to the air guide chamber and out through the air outlet to dry the water chestnuts on the conveyor belt. This method is capable of drying water chestnuts with low drying requirements. The small-angle reciprocating rotation of the drying drum can improve the drying effect, and the push rod can push the water chestnuts on the conveyor belt during the reciprocating rotation, resulting in better drying. However, existing dryers for water chestnut processing blow hot air from the air outlet inside the drying drum to dry the water chestnuts on the conveyor belt. Although the drying drum can reciprocate at a small angle and the push rod pushes the water chestnuts, because the water chestnuts are placed directly on the conveyor belt, the hot air may not be able to penetrate the water chestnut layer evenly, resulting in uneven drying. Some water chestnuts may be over-dried, while others may be under-dried, affecting product quality. Moreover, the structure of existing dryers is not convenient for cleaning and maintaining internal components. For example, after long-term use, water chestnut fragments or other impurities may remain inside the drying drum and on the surface of the conveyor belt. The connection method between the drying drum and the conveyor belt, as well as the overall structural design, make it difficult to thoroughly clean these components. If they are not cleaned in time, it may affect the drying effect and the service life of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0028] First embodiment: A drying machine for processing water chestnuts, including a housing 1, a drive component 2 and a mounting component 3.

[0029] Specifically, the front of the box 1 is provided with a double-opening door. The interior of the box 1 is provided with a heating mechanism for heating and drying the water chestnuts. The heating mechanism on the box 1 includes filter screens 12 located at the top and bottom of the box 1. The filter screens 12 are connected to the box 1 by magnetic attraction, which facilitates quick disassembly, cleaning and replacement. Fans 13 are installed on the inner top wall and inner bottom wall of the box 1. Multiple heating wires 14 are arranged at equal intervals above the fan 13 at the lower end of the box 1 for heating the air. A toothed ring 15 is fixed on one inner wall of the box 1 for connecting the drive component 2. A motor 16 is installed on the other outer wall of the box 1.

[0030] Specifically, the drive component 2 is located inside the housing 1. The input end of the drive component 2 is connected to a motor 16 mounted on one side of the housing 1. The drive component 2 is used to drive the water chestnut placing mechanism to rotate inside the housing 1. The drive component 2 includes a drive roller 21 located in the middle of the inner cavity of the housing 1. One end of the drive roller 21 is connected to the inner wall of one side of the housing 1 through a bearing, and the other end of the drive roller 21 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 16. Multiple brackets 22 arranged in a circular array are fixed on both sides of the drive roller 21. The ends of the brackets 22 are movably connected to the drive shaft 23 through bearings. A gear 24 is fixed to one end of the drive shaft 23. The gear 24 meshes with the gear ring 15, so that the drive... When shaft 23 makes circular motion, it can rotate by gear 24. A polygonal plug 25 is fixed at the other end of drive shaft 23, and a movable shaft 26 is provided at the other end of drive shaft 23. A polygonal slot 27 is provided at one end of movable shaft 26. The polygonal slot 27 is adapted to the polygonal plug 25, so that drive shaft 23 can drive movable shaft 26 to rotate. At the same time, movable shaft 26 is set as a detachable structure, which facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of mounting part 3. A connecting groove is provided at the other end of movable shaft 26. A connecting shaft 28 is inserted into the connecting groove. One end of connecting shaft 28 is connected to the bottom of the connecting groove through a first spring. The other end of connecting shaft 28 is connected to mounting part 3.

[0031] More specifically, the mounting component 3 is the water chestnut placement mechanism. Multiple mounting components 3 are provided and are installed in a ring array on the drive component 2.

[0032] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: the mounting component 3 includes a mounting box 31, with dense ventilation holes on both sides of the mounting box 31 to facilitate the drying of the water chestnuts inside the mounting box 31 by hot air; connecting shafts 28 are connected to the middle of both ends of the mounting box 31; positioning posts 32 are fixed to both ends of one side of the mounting box 31; a box cover 33 is provided at the opening on one side of the mounting box 31; side plates 34 are fixed to both ends of the box cover 33; a mating groove 35 is provided at the middle of one end of the side plate 34, which is adapted to the positioning posts 32; the opening of the mating groove 35... The upper end has a groove 36, and a limiting block 37 is provided in the groove 36. The limiting block 37 can limit the positioning post 32 in the mating groove 35, thereby limiting the box cover 33 at the opening of the mounting box 31. The top of the limiting block 37 is connected to the bottom of the groove 36 through a second spring. The second spring allows the limiting block 37 to automatically reset when no force is applied. A sliding piece 38 is connected to the top side of the limiting block 37 through a connecting block. The bottom side of the limiting block 37 is set as an inclined surface, so that when the positioning post 32 moves, the limiting block 37 can be squeezed into the groove 36 through the inclined surface.

[0033] When this device is in operation, first open the box door, then pour the water chestnuts into the mounting box 31 through the opening. After the mounting box 31 is full, cover the opening of the mounting box 31 with the box cover 33. At this time, the mating groove 35 on the side plate 34 is connected to the positioning post 32 on the mounting box 31. During the process of the positioning post 32 moving to the mating groove 35, the limiting block 37 is first pressed into the groove 36 by the inclined surface on the limiting block 37. Then, the limiting block 37 is reset under the action of the second spring, and the positioning post 32 is moved back to its original position. The cover 33 is then positioned within the mating groove 35, thus limiting the box cover 33 onto the mounting box 31. The mounting box 31 is then placed between two corresponding brackets 22. Next, the movable shaft 26 is moved until the polygonal slot 27 on the movable shaft 26 aligns with the polygonal insert 25 on the drive shaft 23. The movable shaft 26 is then released, and under the action of the first spring, its polygonal slot 27 is connected to the polygonal insert 25. At this point, the mounting box 31 is installed. The drive shaft 23, through the movable shaft 26 and connecting shaft 28, can drive the mounting box 31 to rotate. After multiple mounting boxes 31 are installed, the box door is closed, and then the fan 13 and heating wire 14 are started. The two fans 13 work together to draw outside air into the box 1 through the bottom and exhaust it through the top. The filter screen 12 filters out dust from the air, and the heating wire 14 heats the air drawn into the box 1, allowing the hot air to dry the water chestnuts inside the mounting box 31. Simultaneously, the motor 16 is started, driving the drive shaft 23 to rotate. The rotating roller 21 drives multiple mounting boxes 31 to rotate. When the roller 21 rotates, it drives the gear 24 to rotate through the bracket 22. The gear 24 and the gear ring 15 drive the drive shaft 23 to rotate. The drive shaft 23 drives the mounting box 31 to rotate through the movable shaft 26 and the connecting shaft 28, which improves the uniformity of heating of the water chestnuts in the mounting box 31 and improves the drying efficiency of the device. After drying, the mounting box 31 can be easily removed by opening the door.
