Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of peanut processing technology, specifically to a temperature and humidity regulating device for a peanut processing cooler. Background Technology

[0002] Peanuts need to be dried during production and processing. Because peanuts contain a lot of oil, if they are not cooled after drying, the oil in the peanuts will be more likely to oxidize and hydrolyze at high temperatures, accelerating the rancidity process. Rancid peanuts will produce an off-flavor and reduce their nutritional value. Therefore, after drying, workers need to use a cooling machine to cool the dried peanuts to ensure that the peanut temperature drops.

[0003] However, existing peanut processing coolers typically use fans to blow air onto the peanuts to lower their temperature. This method is inefficient, and the air contains water vapor, which is already low in moisture content after drying. Peanuts are also highly hygroscopic, and the air carrying water vapor blowing onto the peanuts will increase their moisture content, thus affecting their quality after drying. Therefore, this method does not meet the current requirements. To address this, we propose a temperature and humidity control device for peanut processing coolers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a temperature and humidity regulating device for a peanut processing cooler, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when cooling peanuts, peanut processing coolers usually use fans to blow on the peanuts to lower their temperature. This method has low cooling efficiency, and the air contains a certain amount of water vapor. After drying, peanuts have a low moisture content and are highly hygroscopic. When the air with water vapor blows on the top of the peanuts, it will increase the moisture content of the peanuts, thus affecting the quality of the dried peanuts.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a temperature and humidity regulating device for a peanut processing cooler, comprising a cooler temperature control bracket:

[0006] A water vapor absorption filter material is fixedly installed at the upper end inside the temperature control bracket of the cooler. An air flow fan is fixedly installed inside the temperature control bracket of the cooler. A heat dissipation pipe is fixedly installed at the lower end of the front face of the temperature control bracket of the cooler.

A cold source exchange bracket is fixedly installed at the rear end face of the semiconductor refrigeration chip. A heat source exchange bracket is fixedly installed at the front end face of the semiconductor refrigeration chip. A hot air exhaust fan is fixedly installed at the front end face inside the heat dissipation pipe.

[0007] A hot air collection bracket is fixedly installed on the front end of the heat dissipation pipe. A condensate collection bracket is fixedly installed at the lower end of the cooling machine temperature control bracket. A heat dissipation filter is installed above the heat source exchange bracket. The heat dissipation filter is fixedly connected to the heat source exchange bracket. The heat exchange fins of both the heat source exchange bracket and the cold source exchange bracket are inclined at an 8-degree angle.

[0008] Preferably, a control box is installed on the front end of the condensate collection bracket, and the control box is fixedly connected to the condensate collection bracket.

[0009] Preferably, an air inlet filter is installed at the air inlet end of the cooling unit temperature control bracket, and the air inlet filter is fixedly connected to the cooling unit temperature control bracket.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model uses water vapor absorption filter material to absorb water vapor in the air to a certain extent, thereby reducing the humidity inside the device and preventing the dried peanuts from coming into excessive contact with water vapor in the cooling air, thus preventing the peanuts' moisture content from increasing. The installation of a semiconductor cooling chip, in conjunction with a cold source exchange bracket, allows the air flowing inside the device to exchange heat with the cold source exchange bracket, thereby lowering the air temperature. Temperature regulation of the air exiting the device further reduces the temperature of the air blown out, improving the device's cooling efficiency for the peanuts and enhancing its practicality. Simultaneously, when the air exchanges heat with the cold source exchange bracket, the water vapor in the air comes into contact with the bracket and quickly condenses into water droplets. These droplets then fall into the condensate collection bracket under gravity, further improving the device's dehumidification capacity and preventing excessive contact between the peanuts and water vapor when the air blows directly onto them, thus preventing the peanuts' moisture content from increasing and affecting the quality of the dried peanuts.

[0016] 2. This utility model, by installing a heat source exchange bracket and cooperating with a hot air exhaust fan, can cool the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration chip, ensuring stable operation of the semiconductor refrigeration chip. At the same time, the hot air blown out by the hot air exhaust fan can be collected by a hot air collection bracket. The operator only needs to connect an external pipe to the hot air exhaust pipe at the front end of the hot air collection bracket to blow the hot air onto the undried peanuts, preheating the peanuts and making the peanut drying more efficient, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 One embodiment of this utility model provides a temperature and humidity regulating device for a peanut processing cooler, including a cooler temperature control bracket 1:

[0025] A water vapor absorption filter media 13 is fixedly installed at the upper end inside the cooling machine temperature control bracket 1. Installing the water vapor absorption filter media 13 allows for the absorption of water vapor in the air to a certain extent, thereby reducing the humidity inside the device and preventing excessive contact between the dried peanuts and the water vapor in the cooling air, thus preventing an increase in the peanut's moisture content. An airflow fan 14 is fixedly installed inside the cooling machine temperature control bracket 1, allowing air to circulate within the device and ensuring its functionality. A heat dissipation pipe 3 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the front face of the cooling machine temperature control bracket 1. A semiconductor cooling chip 17 is fixedly installed at the rear end inside the heat dissipation pipe 3. Installing the semiconductor cooling chip 17, in conjunction with the cold source exchange bracket 15, allows the air flowing inside the device to exchange heat with the cold source exchange bracket 15. The air temperature is lowered, and the temperature of the exhaust air is regulated, thereby reducing the temperature of the air blown out by the device, which improves the cooling efficiency of the device for peanuts and enhances the practicality of the device. At the same time, when the air exchanges heat with the cold source exchange bracket 15, the water vapor in the air comes into contact with the cold source exchange bracket 15, and the water vapor will quickly condense into water droplets when it encounters the cold. Then, the water droplets fall into the condensate collection bracket 10 under the action of gravity, which further improves the dehumidification capacity of the device and avoids the peanuts coming into a large amount of contact with water vapor when the air blows on the top of the peanuts, thus avoiding the increase of the peanut moisture content and affecting the quality of the peanuts after drying. The rear end face of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 17 is fixedly installed with the cold source exchange bracket 15, the front end face of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 17 is fixedly installed with the heat source exchange bracket 16, and the front end face inside the heat dissipation pipe 3 is fixedly installed with the hot air exhaust fan 19.

[0026] The hot air collection bracket 8 is fixedly installed on the front end of the heat dissipation pipe 3. The lower end of the cooling machine temperature control bracket 1 is fixedly installed with a condensate collection bracket 10. The installation of the condensate collection bracket 10 makes it convenient for workers to collect condensate and discharge it from the device in a centralized manner, avoiding condensate pollution of the environment. A heat dissipation filter 4 is installed above the heat source exchange bracket 16. The heat dissipation filter 4 is fixedly connected to the heat source exchange bracket 16. The installation of the heat source exchange bracket 16, together with the hot air exhaust fan 19, can cool the hot end of the semiconductor cooling chip 17, ensuring the stable operation of the semiconductor cooling chip 17. At the same time, the hot air blown out by the hot air exhaust fan 19 can be collected by the hot air collection bracket 8. Workers only need to connect an external pipe to the hot air exhaust pipe 9 at the front end of the hot air collection bracket 8 to blow hot air onto the undried peanuts, preheating the peanuts and making the peanut drying more efficient, thus improving the practicality of the device. The heat exchange fins of the heat source exchange bracket 16 and the cold source exchange bracket 15 are both set at an octagonal angle.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5A control box 12 is installed on the front end of the condensate collection bracket 10, and the control box 12 is fixedly connected to the condensate collection bracket 10. An air inlet filter 2 is installed on the air inlet end of the cooler temperature control bracket 1. The air inlet filter 2 can prevent external dust and debris from entering the device, ensuring that the air blown out by the device is low-temperature, dry and clean, thus improving the device's performance. The air inlet filter 2 is fixedly connected to the cooler temperature control bracket 1. A rotating bracket 6 is rotatably installed on the air outlet end of the cooler temperature control bracket 1. A cold air exhaust pipe 7 is rotatably installed on the upper end of the rotating bracket 6. A connecting bracket 18 is installed on the upper end of the cooler temperature control bracket 1, and the connecting bracket 18 is fixedly connected to the cooler temperature control bracket 1. A disassembly bracket 5 is installed on the upper end of the rear end face of the cooler temperature control bracket 1, and the disassembly bracket 5 is connected to the connecting bracket 18 by screws. A hot air exhaust pipe 9 is installed on the front end of the hot air collection bracket 8, and the hot air exhaust pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the hot air collection bracket 8. A condensate exhaust pipe 11 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the condensate collection bracket 10.

[0028] Working principle: During use, the airflow fan 14 starts to draw outside air into the cooling unit temperature control bracket 1. When the air passes through the water vapor absorption filter 13, some of the water vapor in the air is absorbed. Then, when the air passes through the cold source exchange bracket 15, the semiconductor cooling chip 17 cools the cold source exchange bracket 15, thereby exchanging heat between the air and the cold source exchange bracket 15, lowering the air temperature. At the same time, the water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets upon cooling, and the water droplets fall into the condensate collection bracket 10 under the action of gravity. The condensate is then discharged from the device through the condensate discharge pipe 11. Meanwhile, the hot air exhaust fan 19 draws outside air into the heat dissipation pipe 3 through the heat dissipation filter 4, making the outside air cooler. The air exchange bracket 16 exchanges heat with the heat source, thus ensuring that the temperature of the heating side of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 17 does not become too high, ensuring the stable operation of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 17. At the same time, the hot air is collected by the hot air collection bracket 8. According to the usage requirements, the operator can connect an external pipe to the hot air exhaust pipe 9, and point one end of the external pipe towards the undried peanuts, so that the hot air blown out by the device can preheat the undried peanuts. Finally, under the action of multiple sets of water vapor absorption filter media 13 and cold source exchange bracket 15, the device blows low-temperature dry cold air onto the dried peanuts, so that the peanuts are cooled quickly. The water vapor absorption filter media 13 installed in this device can absorb water vapor in the air to a certain extent. This reduces the humidity inside the device, preventing the dried peanuts from coming into excessive contact with water vapor in the cooling air, thus preventing the peanuts' moisture content from increasing. Installing a semiconductor cooling chip 17 in conjunction with the cold source exchange bracket 15 allows the air flowing inside the device to exchange heat with the cold source exchange bracket 15, thereby lowering the air temperature. This regulates the temperature of the air exiting the device, further reducing the temperature of the air blown out, improving the device's cooling efficiency for the peanuts and enhancing its practicality. Simultaneously, when the air exchanges heat with the cold source exchange bracket 15, the water vapor in the air comes into contact with the bracket, quickly condensing into water droplets. These droplets then fall into the condensate drain under gravity. In the collection bracket 10, the dehumidification capacity of the device is further improved, and the peanuts are prevented from coming into large contact with water vapor when the wind blows on the top of the peanuts, thus avoiding an increase in the moisture content of the peanuts and affecting the quality of the dried peanuts. The heat source exchange bracket 16 is installed so that it can work with the hot air exhaust fan 19 to cool the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 17, ensuring the stable operation of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 17. At the same time, the hot air blown out by the hot air exhaust fan 19 can be collected by the hot air collection bracket 8. The operator only needs to connect an external pipe to the hot air exhaust pipe 9 at the front end of the hot air collection bracket 8 to blow the hot air onto the undried peanuts, preheating the peanuts in advance, making the peanut drying more efficient and improving the practicality of the device.
