[0002] Dried noodles, a traditional staple food, are widely loved by consumers for their smooth texture and rich nutrition. In the production process, drying racks are a crucial piece of equipment, decisively affecting the drying effect and quality of the noodles. Especially in the drying stage, the design and use of the drying racks directly relate to the drying speed, uniformity of drying, and final product quality.

[0003] Utility model patent CN 218034127 U discloses a drying rack for noodle production. Although the drying rack absorbs solar energy and converts it into electricity through solar panels, it drives a motor to work, thereby driving the support plate to rotate as a whole. This allows the noodles drying on the drying rod to rotate and dry in accordance with the sunlight, ensuring that the noodles can absorb sufficient sunlight and avoiding incomplete drying.

[0004] However, in actual use, this type of drying rack still has some shortcomings. Specifically, the drying rods lack an auxiliary pulling structure, requiring operators to manually hang and remove each noodle individually from the drying rods during the noodle loading and unloading process. This cumbersome and time-consuming operation significantly reduces the efficiency of noodle production. Especially during mass production, this inconvenient loading and unloading method becomes a bottleneck restricting production efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, given the shortcomings of existing drying racks in terms of loading and unloading materials, we urgently need a drying rack for noodle production that facilitates loading and unloading to solve these problems. This drying rack should significantly improve the efficiency of loading and unloading noodles, reduce the labor intensity of operators, and ensure the uniformity and thoroughness of the drying process, providing strong support for the sustainable development of the noodle production industry.

This process is cumbersome and time-consuming, greatly reducing the efficiency of dried noodle production.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A drying rack for easy loading and unloading of noodles includes a bottom compartment and a rotating plate;

[0009] The rotating plate is located at the top of the bottom compartment, and a drive motor is installed inside the bottom compartment. The output shaft of the drive motor rotates through the top of the bottom compartment and connects to the bottom of the rotating plate.

[0011] Preferably, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom compartment, and a rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the outer ring of the cylinder. The rotating sleeve and the rotating plate are connected by several support rods.

[0012] Preferably, the outer ring of the rotating plate has a plurality of hexagonal slots, and one end of the drying rod is fixedly connected to a hexagonal column that matches the hexagonal slots.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the drying rod is fixedly connected to a plug rod, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the upright plate. A plug groove adapted to the plug rod is opened on one side of the connecting block, and a fixing screw with one end threaded through the connecting block is provided at the bottom of the connecting block. One end of the fixing screw is connected to the plug rod.

[0014] Preferably, the rotating plate is provided with a plurality of positioning screws corresponding to the hexagonal slots, and one end of the positioning screw is threaded through the rotating plate and threadedly connected to the hexagonal column.

[0015] Preferably, a conical sleeve is provided on one side of each hexagonal slot, one end of the conical sleeve is connected to the interior of the hexagonal slot, and the conical sleeve is connected to the side wall of the rotating plate through a connecting ring.

[0016] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The rotating design of the rotating plate ensures that the noodles receive sunlight evenly, effectively improving drying efficiency and solving the problem of uneven drying found in traditional drying racks.
