Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a dehydration device, specifically a food dehydration device, and belongs to the technical field of food processing. Background Technology

[0002] Food dehydration is a process that promotes the evaporation of moisture from food under artificially controlled conditions. It includes natural drying and artificial drying. Natural drying involves directly spreading food out to dry in the sun, which is less efficient and suitable for drying semi-finished foods such as soybeans and peanuts. Artificial drying, on the other hand, can quickly remove moisture from food and is a highly efficient method suitable for drying finished foods such as various cakes, cured meats, and fish. After processing, the internal moisture needs to be evaporated to make the food crispy and delicious, and dehydration equipment is generally required during the drying process.

[0003] Existing dehydration devices include various methods such as hot air drying, vacuum drying, freeze drying, spray drying, and centrifugal dehydration. Among them, hot air drying is commonly used due to its low cost and immediate effect. Generally, food is laid flat on the top of a support plate, and heated air is circulated towards the food to remove water vapor. However, after a period of use, the food tends to stick to the support plate, making it difficult to remove. Furthermore, it can only dry one side of the food, and cannot dry both sides, resulting in poor performance. Therefore, we provide a food dehydration device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a food dehydration device, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0005] A food dehydration device includes a housing, a support mechanism inside the housing, a sliding plate below the support mechanism, the outer surface of the sliding plate being slidably connected to the housing, a plurality of push rods connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate, a lifting mechanism below the sliding plate, a heating cylinder slidably connected inside the sliding plate, a heating wire installed inside the heating cylinder, a wind mechanism at the lower part of the heating cylinder, a sealing plate connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate, the inner wall of the sealing plate being slidably connected to the heating cylinder, the support mechanism including a fixing ring and a support plate located inside the fixing ring, a first vent forming between the fixing ring and the support plate, and a second vent forming in the middle of the support plate.

[0006] Preferably, the outer surface of the fixing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, and the outer surface of the top rod is slidably connected to the support plate.

[0007] Preferably, an adjustment plate is rotatably connected to the upper end of the housing, and a sliding door is hinged to the side of the housing.

[0008] Preferably, a heat insulation plate is connected to the lower surface of the housing, and a support plate is connected to the lower surface of the heat insulation plate.

[0009] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a telescopic rod, which is installed on the upper surface of the support plate. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod is connected to a sliding rod, the upper end of the sliding rod is connected to a sliding plate, and the outer surface of the sliding rod is slidably connected to the housing and the heat insulation plate.

[0010] Preferably, the wind power mechanism includes an electric motor, which is mounted on the upper surface of the support plate. The output end of the electric motor is connected to a rotating rod, and the outer surface of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the housing and the heat insulation plate.

[0011] Preferably, a connecting pipe is connected to one side of the housing, with the upper end of the connecting pipe located above the support mechanism and the lower end of the connecting pipe located below the sliding plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This food dehydration device, through the setting of a support mechanism and a top rod, uses a lifting mechanism to continuously move a sliding plate up and down at a certain frequency, causing the top rod to push the food upwards. When the food is not being pushed, air moves upwards from the first vent, drying the upper surface of the food. When the top rod pushes the food, air moves upwards from the second vent, drying the lower surface of the food. This achieves the effect of repeatedly drying the front and back of the food, increasing the drying effect. At the same time, it continuously contacts and separates the food from the support plate, preventing the food from sticking to the support plate. This solves the problems of existing devices where food easily sticks to the support plate, making it difficult to remove, and can only dry one side of the food, resulting in poor drying effect.

[0014] 2. This food dehydration device is equipped with components such as an adjusting plate and a heat insulation plate. The lower part of the adjusting plate has a pin shaft that can rotate on the upper part of the shell. The upper part of the shell has an air outlet, which can be covered by the adjusting plate. The size of the air outlet can be changed by adjustment. The upper and lower air can be connected by a connecting pipe, so that the upper air can flow to the lower part to achieve air circulation and reduce heat consumption. When used in conjunction with the adjusting plate, the adjusting plate is opened when there is too much water vapor and closed when there is less. The heat insulation plate can isolate a certain amount of heat to prevent the electrical components below from overheating. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 The system includes a housing 1, a support mechanism 2 inside the housing 1, a sliding plate 3 below the support mechanism 2, the outer surface of the sliding plate 3 being slidably connected to the housing 1, multiple push rods 4 connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate 3, a lifting mechanism 5 below the sliding plate 3, a heating cylinder 6 slidably connected inside the sliding plate 3, a heating wire 7 installed inside the heating cylinder 6, a wind mechanism 8 at the lower part of the heating cylinder 6, a sealing plate 9 connected to the upper surface of the sliding plate 3, and the inner wall of the sealing plate 9 being slidably connected to the heating cylinder 6. The support mechanism 2 includes a fixing ring 201 and a support disk 202 located inside the fixing ring 201. The fixing ring 201 and the support disk 202... A first ventilation opening 203 is formed between the support plate 202 and a second ventilation opening 204 is formed in the middle of the support plate 202. The support mechanism 2 is used to support the food. When in use, the food is spread flat on the support plate 202 so that the edge of the food covers the position of the top rod 4, but does not cover the first ventilation opening 203. It should be noted that this device is suitable for foods with a certain strength, such as baked goods, dried meat, etc. The lifting mechanism 5 can give the sliding plate 3 a power to move up and down. When the top rod 4 is pushed upward, the food can be lifted as a whole. The wind mechanism 8 can blow air into the interior of the heating cylinder 6. After the air is heated by the heating wire 7, it moves upward to dry the food.

[0023] The outer surface of the fixing ring 201 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the outer surface of the top rod 4 is slidably connected to the support plate 202. The support plate 202 has a round hole that matches the top rod 4, allowing the top rod 4 to pass through it. Multiple rectangular rods are provided at the position of the first vent 203 to connect the fixing ring 201 and the support plate 202 together, so that the support plate 202 is fixed. A cross rod is provided at the position of the second vent 204 to support the middle of the food and prevent it from collapsing downward.

[0024] An adjusting plate 10 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the housing 1, and a sliding door 14 is hinged to the side of the housing 1. A pin is provided at the lower part of the adjusting plate 10, which can rotate at the upper part of the housing 1. An air vent is provided at the upper part of the housing 1. The air vent can be covered by the adjusting plate 10. The size of the air vent can be changed by adjustment. The sliding door 14 can be directly pulled to open or close, so as to add or remove food into the housing 1.

[0025] A heat insulation plate 12 is connected to the lower surface of the housing 1, and a support plate 11 is connected to the lower surface of the heat insulation plate 12. The support plate 11 is used to support the whole, and the heat insulation plate 12 can insulate a certain amount of heat to prevent the electrical components below it from overheating.

[0026] The lifting mechanism 5 includes a telescopic rod 501, which is installed on the upper surface of the support plate 11. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod 501 is connected to a sliding rod 502. The upper end of the sliding rod 502 is connected to the sliding plate 3. The outer surface of the sliding rod 502 is slidably connected to the housing 1 and the heat insulation plate 12. The telescopic rod 501 is electrically telescopic and can be continuously extended and shortened according to a preset program. The telescopic rod 501 can drive the sliding rod 502 to move up and down, thereby driving the sliding plate 3 to move up and down.

[0027] The wind power mechanism 8 includes a motor 801, which is mounted on the upper surface of the support plate 11. The output end of the motor 801 is connected to a rotating rod 802. The outer surface of the rotating rod 802 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 and the heat insulation plate 12. The motor 801 can drive the rotating rod 802 to rotate. The upper end of the rotating rod 802 is provided with fan blades, which are located inside the heating cylinder 6 and can drive the air to move upward.

[0028] A connecting pipe 13 is connected to one side of the housing 1. The upper end of the connecting pipe 13 is located at the upper part of the support mechanism 2, and the lower end of the connecting pipe 13 is located at the lower part of the sliding plate 3. The connecting pipe 13 can connect the upper and lower air, allowing the upper air to flow to the lower part, so as to realize air circulation and reduce heat consumption. In conjunction with the regulating plate 10, when there is too much water vapor, the regulating plate 10 is opened, and when there is less, the regulating plate 10 is closed.

[0029] The telescopic rod 501 and the motor 801 in this application are common electrical devices in the prior art. This application will not elaborate on their models or internal structures, and they can also be replaced by other power sources.

[0030] In use, this invention works as follows: Open the sliding door 14, spread the food to be dehydrated onto the support tray 202, close the sliding door 14, and begin the dehydration process. The fan mechanism 8 blows the air from the bottom upwards, allowing the air to pass through the heating wire 7 to dry the food. During use, the lifting mechanism 5 continuously moves the sliding plate 3 up and down at a certain frequency, causing the lifting rod 4 to push upwards against the food. When the food is not being pushed, it lies on the support tray 202, covering the second vent 204, allowing air to move upwards only through the first vent 203, thus drying the upper surface of the food. During the drying process, when the top rod 4 pushes the food, there is a distance that the food and the support plate 202 can move. At the same time, the sliding plate 3 drives the closing plate 9 to move upward and contact the support plate 202, so that air can only move upward from the second vent 204, thereby drying the lower surface of the food. This achieves the effect of repeatedly drying the front and back of the food, increasing the drying effect. At the same time, the food is constantly contacted and separated from the support plate 202, preventing the food from sticking to the support plate 202, thus achieving the effect of avoiding food sticking. When the top rod 4 moves to the lower part, its upper surface does not contact the food.
