[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.

[0027] Some embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Combination Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a food centrifugal dehydrator, including: a main body 100 and a filtration mechanism 200.

[0030] The main structure 100 includes an outer cylinder 110, multiple support legs 120 fixed in an array at the bottom of the outer cylinder 110, a support member 130 fixed on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 110, a rotating seat 140 rotatably mounted on the support member 130, a drive member 150 mounted on the outer side of the outer cylinder 110, a transmission belt 160 with one end sleeved on the drive member 150 and the other end sleeved on the rotating seat 140, a dehydration cylinder 170 with its bottom end fitted on the rotating seat 140, and a limiting wheel 180 fixed in a ring array on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 110 and close to the outer side of the dehydration cylinder 170.

[0031] The outer cylinder 110 is used to install other components and to prevent water from being contained during dehydration, thus preventing water droplets from splashing everywhere. The support legs 120 are used to support the outer cylinder 110 and ensure its stability.

[0032] The support member 130 is used to install the rotating seat 140 and ensure the stability of the rotating seat 140. It includes support rods 131 fixed in a ring array on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 110 and a center seat 132 fixed at the end of the support rods 131.

[0033] The rotating seat 140 is used to connect with the dewatering cylinder 170 and drive the dewatering cylinder 170 to rotate. It includes a rotating shaft 141 that rotates through the support member 130, a top seat 142 fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 141, and a first transmission wheel 143 fixed to the bottom of the rotating shaft 141. A cross groove 1421 is opened at the top of the top seat 142 to facilitate fitting with the dewatering cylinder 170.

[0034] A lower annular groove 1321 is formed at the top of the center seat 132, and an upper annular groove 1422 is formed at the bottom of the top seat 142. The two correspond to each other. Multiple balls 1322 are arranged in a ring array between the upper annular groove 1422 and the lower annular groove 1321, which can reduce the friction between the top seat 142 and the center seat 132 when the top seat 142 rotates.

[0035] The dehydration cylinder 170 is used to dehydrate food. Its surface has multiple round holes arranged in an array to facilitate the expulsion of water during rotation. The cross-section of the dehydration cylinder 170 is designed as an inverted cone. Through this design, during the high-speed rotation of the dehydration cylinder 170, the food can move upward along the inner wall of the dehydration cylinder 170. The closer to the top of the dehydration cylinder 170, the faster the linear velocity, the greater the centrifugal force, and the higher the dehydration efficiency of the food.

[0036] A circular groove 171 is opened at the bottom of the dehydration cylinder 170. A cross protrusion 172 is fixed on the inner wall of the circular groove 171, and the cross protrusion 172 is fitted into the cross groove 1421, which makes it convenient for the dehydration cylinder 170 to be taken out from the outer cylinder 110. When the dehydration cylinder 170 is placed on the top seat 142, the rotation of the top seat 142 can synchronously drive the dehydration cylinder 170 to rotate.

[0037] A lifting rod 173 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the top of the dehydration cylinder 170, which facilitates the removal of the dehydration cylinder 170 from the outer cylinder 110. A limiting plate 174 is installed on the inner wall of the dehydration cylinder 170, which can limit the lifting rod 173 and prevent the lifting rod 173 from falling into the inner cavity of the dehydration cylinder 170.

[0038] The limiting wheels 180 are installed in a ring array on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 110, which can limit the dewatering cylinder 170, ensure the stability of the dewatering cylinder 170 when rotating, and prevent the dewatering cylinder 170 from rotating eccentrically.

[0039] The driving component 150 is used to drive the rotating seat 140 to rotate. It includes a motor 151 fixed on the outer side of the outer cylinder 110 and a second transmission wheel 152 fixed on the shaft of the motor 151. One end of the transmission belt 160 is sleeved on the second transmission wheel 152 and the other end is sleeved on the first transmission wheel 143. When the motor 151 rotates, it drives the second transmission wheel 152 to rotate. The rotation of the second transmission wheel 152 drives the first transmission wheel 143 to rotate through the transmission belt 160. The rotation of the first transmission wheel 143 drives the top seat 142 to rotate through the rotating shaft 141. The rotation of the top seat 142 drives the dewatering cylinder 170 to rotate.

[0040] The filter mechanism 200 is installed at the bottom of the outer cylinder 110 and is used to filter the wastewater generated during the dewatering process. It includes a pipe body 210 fixed at the bottom of the outer cylinder 110 and communicating with the inner cavity of the outer cylinder 110, a drain pipe 220 installed on the pipe body 210, a sealing member 230 installed at the bottom of the pipe body 210 by a threaded connection and extending into the pipe body 210, and a filter cartridge 240 fitted on the sealing member 230.

[0041] The pipe body 210 is used to install other components, the drain pipe 220 is used to discharge the filtered wastewater, and the closure 230 is used to install the filter cartridge 240 and facilitate the replacement of the filter cartridge 240. The closure 230 includes a cover plate 231 installed at the bottom end of the pipe body 210 by a threaded connection and a bracket 232 fixed on the cover plate 231 and extending into the inner cavity of the pipe body 210.

[0042] The filter cartridge 240 is used to filter wastewater. It includes a housing 241 fitted on a support 232, filter screens 242 symmetrically fixed on both sides of the housing 241, and activated carbon particles 243 filled between the filter screens 242. The filter screens 242 can remove particulate impurities in the wastewater, and the activated carbon particles 243 can adsorb and purify the wastewater.

[0043] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the food to be dehydrated is placed into the dehydration drum 170. The motor 151 is started, driving the second transmission wheel 152 to rotate. The rotation of the second transmission wheel 152 drives the first transmission wheel 143 to rotate via the transmission belt 160. The rotation of the first transmission wheel 143 drives the top seat 142 to rotate via the rotating shaft 141. The rotation of the top seat 142 drives the dehydration drum 170 to rotate, and the rotation of the dehydration drum 170 drives the food inside to rotate. The food rotates at high speed, and the centrifugal force generated during the rotation causes the water attached to the food to be thrown out. After the food is dehydrated, the user can lift the dehydration cylinder 170 from the outer cylinder 110 by lifting rod 173, so that the food in the dehydration cylinder 170 can be poured out and the dehydration cylinder 170 can be cleaned. In addition, the wastewater generated during the dehydration process flows into the pipe body 210 along the inner wall of the outer cylinder 110. The filter cylinder 240 can filter the impurity particles in the wastewater, and the filtered wastewater is discharged through the drain pipe 220.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
