Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chili processing and storage equipment, specifically a moisture-proof storage device for chili processing. Background Technology

[0002] Chili peppers are annual or short-lived perennial herbaceous or shrubby plants belonging to the genus Capsicum in the family Solanaceae. They are also known as sweet peppers, bell peppers, sweet peppers, and small red chilies. Depending on the needs, chili peppers are often processed into dried chili peppers, chili powder, and other chili pepper products. Chili powder is made by processing and grinding dried chili peppers, and storage devices are needed to store the dried chili peppers during the production process.

[0003] Existing storage devices are usually just simple containers that lack moisture-proof and dehumidification structures. They can only be used to store dried chili peppers. During the storage of dried chili peppers, when the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the container is too large, moisture often accumulates inside the container, causing the dried chili peppers to become damp and affecting the quality of subsequent chili powder production.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a moisture-proof storage device for chili processing. Utility Model Content

[0009] Optionally, the top of the feed seat is connected to a sealing cover via a hinge, and the front end of the sealing cover is fixedly installed inside the feed seat by an external bolt. The sealing cover can block and seal the feed seat.

[0010] Optionally, a bracket is fixedly fitted on the top of the storage tank outside the toothed disc, and a motor is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket.

[0021] A discharge seat 4 is fixedly installed at the front end of the storage tank 2. A gate 19 is slidably connected inside the discharge seat 4. A fixing frame 20 is fixedly installed above the discharge seat 4 at the front end of the storage tank 2. Two electric push rods 21 are fixedly installed on the fixing frame 20. The output ends of the two electric push rods 21 extend out of the fixing frame 20 and are fixedly installed on the gate 19. The electric push rods 21 drive the gate 19 to rise and fall to facilitate material retrieval. A feeding seat 3 is fixedly installed at the top of the storage tank 2 on the left side of the rotating tube 6. A ventilation pipe 23 is fixedly installed on the left side of the feeding seat 3. Dried chili peppers are easily added to the storage tank 2 through the feeding seat 3. A sealing cover 22 is connected to the top of the feeding seat 3 by a hinge. The front end is fixedly installed inside the feed seat 3 by external bolts. The feed seat 3 can be blocked and sealed by the sealing cover 22. The top of the storage tank 2 is fixedly fitted with a bracket 11 on the outside of the toothed disc 12. The top of the bracket 11 is fixedly installed with a motor 14. The output end of the motor 14 is fixedly installed on the toothed disc 12. The rotation of the toothed disc 12 by the motor 14 is beneficial to the use of this equipment. Each tipping plate 8 has multiple air holes 9, and each air hole 9 is fixedly installed with a filter screen. The air holes 9 facilitate the blowing out of hot air for dehumidification. The mobile frame 1 is fixedly installed with a PLC controller 5 at the front of the storage tank 2. The PLC controller 5 facilitates the control of this equipment.

[0022] Working principle: One-way valves are fixedly installed in both the air supply pipe 18 and the ventilation pipe 23. During use, dried chilies are poured into the storage tank 2 from the feed seat 3, and then the sealing cover 22 is closed and fixed in place by external bolts. When the humidity sensor 10 detects excessive moisture in the storage tank 2, the heating element 16 activates to heat the tank. Simultaneously, the blower 17 delivers air to the drying chamber 15, forming hot air. This hot air then enters the rotating pipe 6 and rotating frame 7 through the air supply pipe 18. Finally, the hot air enters multiple turning plates 8 and is blown out through multiple air holes 9 to dehumidify the dried chilies. Simultaneously, the motor 14 drives the gear disc 12, gear ring 13, rotating pipe 6, rotating frame 7, and multiple turning plates 8 to rotate, thus turning the dried chilies and ensuring even contact with the hot air. Moisture is then discharged from the ventilation pipe 23. During dehumidification, the blower 17 generates a certain air pressure, causing the air supply pipe 18 and ventilation pipe 23 to... The one-way valve inside automatically opens. When material needs to be taken out, place the receiving container at the bottom front of the discharge seat 4, and then turn on the lifting switch of the electric push rod 21. The two electric push rods 21 drive the gate 19 to rise. At this time, the discharge seat 4 opens, and the dried chilies can quickly slide into the receiving container. The size of the opening of the discharge seat 4 can be adjusted according to the height of the gate 19, thereby controlling the discharge speed. The circuit connection method, mechanical structure, and connection relationship not mentioned in this specification are all conventional technical means in this field, so they will not be described in detail. This kind of moisture-proof storage device for chili processing is easy to use. The above components can monitor the humidity in the storage tank 2 in real time and automatically perform dehumidification, thereby further improving the moisture-proof ability of dried chilies. At the same time, it can turn the dried chilies over during the dehumidification process and blow hot air from multiple places, so that the dried chilies can fully contact the hot air and be heated evenly, thereby further improving the dehumidification effect of this equipment.
