Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of processing devices for immature bitter orange, and in particular to a temperature-controlled drying tray for drying immature bitter orange. Background Technology
[0002] Citrus aurantium is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, which is the dried young fruit of sweet orange. In processing, the fruit needs to be cut in half horizontally from the middle and then sun-dried or dried at low temperature.
[0003] With industrialization, in order to speed up the drying process of immature bitter orange, mechanical intervention has gradually become the norm.
[0004] In the existing process of drying immature bitter orange, the immature bitter orange is usually spread on several layers of drying trays on a drying rack, and then hot air is blown from one side of the drying rack to the immature bitter orange to achieve the drying operation.
[0005] However, during this drying process, the bitter oranges on the side closest to the hot air blower on the same drying tray will block more airflow, resulting in uneven hot air exposure for the bitter oranges along the blowing direction. This leads to unsatisfactory temperature control of the bitter oranges and affects the drying efficiency of the bitter oranges on the same drying tray. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the above problems, this utility model provides a temperature-controlled drying tray for drying immature bitter orange, the purpose of which is to improve the uniformity of heating of immature bitter orange.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] A temperature-controlled drying tray for drying immature bitter orange is provided, comprising: a tray body for spreading immature bitter orange, wherein the lower side of the immature bitter orange is hollowed out; a support body, wherein a plurality of drying tray bodies are arranged on the support body along the direction of gravity; a hot air blower for blowing hot air; a plurality of drying pipes installed below each drying tray body; a plurality of air outlets, wherein each drying pipe is provided with a plurality of air outlets for supplying hot air to the drying tray body above; and a plurality of isolation components disposed between the drying tray body and the drying pipes to separate the plurality of drying tray bodies into layers.
[0009] Furthermore, the drying tray body includes: a fixedly installed frame and a steel mesh, with the frame surrounding the steel mesh, which is used to spread the bitter orange.
[0010] Furthermore, the baking tray also includes: several mounting shafts and several bearings, with the mounting shafts fixedly mounted on the support body; each mounting shaft is equipped with a bearing, with the inner ring of the bearing mounted on the mounting shaft and the outer ring of the bearing used to support the baking tray body.
[0011] Furthermore, the isolation components include: a baffle and a side plate. The baffle is horizontally mounted on the main body of the support, and the side plates are installed at a fixed angle to the horizontal plane around the baffle. The included angle α between the baffle and the horizontal plane is an acute angle.
[0012] Furthermore, several drying tubes are installed in parallel below each drying tray body.
[0013] Furthermore, below each baking tray, several air vents are arranged in a rectangular pattern.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model, the hollow design on the lower side of the drying tray body allows hot air to dry the bitter oranges on each layer of the drying tray from bottom to top, which can effectively reduce the obstruction between the bitter oranges, making the bitter oranges heat more evenly and the drying temperature control of the bitter oranges more ideal, thus effectively improving the drying efficiency of the bitter oranges; several isolation components are set between the drying tray body and the drying pipe, separating several drying tray bodies into layers; this can effectively prevent the hot air blowing on the bitter oranges below from carrying water vapor and contacting the bitter oranges above, preventing the bitter oranges above from being humidified again, and the drying operation of each layer of bitter oranges is relatively independent, ensuring drying efficiency.

[0019] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the embodiment of this application, a temperature-controlled drying tray for drying immature bitter orange (Zhishi) is disclosed, comprising: a drying tray body 1 for spreading immature bitter orange, with the lower side of the immature bitter orange hollowed out; a support body 2, on which a plurality of drying tray bodies 1 are arranged along the direction of gravity; a hot air blower 3 for blowing hot air; a plurality of drying pipes 4 installed below each drying tray body 1; a plurality of air outlets 41, on which a plurality of air outlets 41 are provided for supplying hot air to the drying tray body 1 above; and a plurality of isolation components disposed between the drying tray body 1 and the drying pipes 4 to separate the plurality of drying tray bodies 1 into layers.
[0021] In practical use, the dried immature bitter oranges are spread on the drying tray body 1 by hand, and then the drying tray body 1 is stacked layer by layer on the support body 2. The hot air fan 3 is started, and hot air is blown into the drying pipe 4 through the air outlet 41 to the bottom of each drying tray body 1. The hot air dries the immature bitter oranges on each drying tray body 1 from bottom to top. The rising hot air is blocked by the isolation component above each drying tray body 1 and disperses to the surroundings and rises.
[0022] In this invention, the lower side of the drying tray body 1 is hollowed out, allowing hot air to dry the bitter oranges on each drying tray from bottom to top. This effectively reduces the obstruction between the bitter oranges, making the heating of the bitter oranges more uniform and the drying temperature control of the bitter oranges more ideal, thus effectively improving the drying efficiency of the bitter oranges.
[0023] In this invention, several isolation components are disposed between the drying tray body 1 and the drying tube 4, dividing the drying tray body 1 into layers; this effectively prevents the hot air blowing on the bitter orange below from carrying water vapor and coming into contact with the bitter orange above, preventing the bitter orange above from being humidified a second time, and ensuring that the drying operation of each layer of bitter orange is relatively independent, thus guaranteeing drying efficiency.
[0024] Preferably, several drying pipes 4 are installed in parallel below each drying tray body 1; of course, several air outlets 41 are also provided on each drying pipe 4. The several air outlets 41 are arranged in a rectangular pattern below each drying tray body 1, which can ensure sufficient hot air and drying efficiency, and also effectively improve the uniformity of heating of the bitter orange.
[0025] It is worth mentioning that, depending on the drying requirements, the staff can increase the power of the hot air blower 3 or install multiple hot air blowers 3. The air outlets of multiple hot air blowers 3 can be connected to different drying pipes 4 through pipe fittings. The installation and connection of the hot air blower 3 is a well-known technology in the field and will not be described in detail here.
[0026] Reference Figure 3As shown, the drying tray body 1 includes: a fixedly installed frame 11 and a steel mesh 12. The frame 11 is located around the steel mesh 12, which is used to spread the bitter orange. The frame 11 can be made of plastic to reduce the overall weight of the drying tray body 1. The steel mesh 12 is made of stainless steel, which can not only make the bottom of the bitter orange open to facilitate the blowing of hot air, but also prevent rust.
[0027] Preferably, the baking tray further includes: a plurality of mounting shafts 51 and a plurality of bearings 52, wherein the mounting shafts 51 are fixedly mounted on the support body 2; each mounting shaft 51 is provided with a bearing 52, the inner ring of the bearing 52 is mounted on the mounting shaft 51, and the outer ring of the bearing 52 is used to support the baking tray body 1.
[0028] Specifically, the inner ring of the bearing 52 is mounted on the mounting shaft 51 by an interference fit, and the outer ring of the bearing 52 rotatably supports the baking tray body 1. When the operator picks up or puts down the baking tray body 1, they can push and pull directly on the bearing 52, which makes it convenient for the operator to pick up or put down the baking tray body 1.
[0029] It is worth mentioning that the outer ring of bearing 52 makes rolling contact with the frame 11.
[0030] Specifically, the isolation components include a baffle 61 and a side plate 62. The baffle 61 is horizontally mounted on the support body 2, and the side plate 62 is installed at a fixed angle to the horizontal plane around the baffle 61. The included angle α between the baffle 61 and the horizontal plane is an acute angle.
[0031] In this embodiment, by setting baffle 61, hot air with water vapor can be blocked from rising; by setting side plate 62, hot air can be guided to disperse around the support body 2, which can further improve the efficiency of hot air with water vapor exhaust.
