Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shrimp dehydration technology, specifically to an inner frame unit for shrimp dehydration equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Shrimp meat, made from live shrimp, is pure shrimp meat after the shrimp are washed with clean water and the heads, tails, and shells are removed. It is believed to have kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac effects, as well as stomach-strengthening properties. Shrimp dishes are popular because they are light, refreshing, easy to digest, and suitable for all ages. There are many ways to cook shrimp to meet the diverse needs of different consumers. In the processing of shrimp, a dehydrator is often used to dehydrate the shrimp. The dehydrator is generally made of high-quality stainless steel, has excellent performance, operates smoothly, and has a high dehydration rate. The main component of the dehydrator is the inner tank, which has small holes around its perimeter. The shrimp to be dehydrated are placed in the inner tank, and the motor drives the inner tank to rotate at high speed via a belt, generating a large centrifugal force. The water is thus thrown out through the small holes in the inner tank, collected, and discharged.

[0003] Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN 219199935 U discloses an inner frame structure for a shrimp dehydrator. This inner frame structure uses a snap-fit ​​assembly to place the annular groove frame on the support portion of the positioning frame surface when the fixing block is raised. The guide block is then released, allowing the limiting spring to rebound to its initial state under elastic deformation. The fixing block then extends again along the slide groove and is snapped into the annular groove frame for fixation. This triangular fixing prevents the shrimp from rotating at high speed within the inner frame during centrifugal dehydration, which could cause the inner frame to shift during centrifugal dehydration due to the shrimp's unpredictable position, leading to collisions with the outer shell and deformation of the inner frame. This improves the stability of the inner frame and facilitates disassembly and installation. However, this inner frame structure lacks a limiting assembly between the inner frame and the dehydrator body. Over time, this can cause the inner frame to loosen, leading to collisions and deformation with the inner wall of the dehydrator, affecting the dehydration effect and resulting in poor practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an inner frame unit for shrimp dehydration equipment, which can effectively solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an inner frame unit for shrimp dehydration equipment, including an inner frame fixing frame and an inner frame located inside the inner frame fixing frame. The inner side of the inner frame fixing frame is provided with a positioning slide rail. A limiting post is fixedly installed at the center of the top side of the bottom of the inner frame fixing frame. A slot is opened on the top side of the bottom of the inner frame fixing frame. A slider is fixedly installed on the side of the inner frame close to the inner frame fixing frame. A locking tooth is fixedly installed on the edge of the bottom of the inner frame. A positioning groove is opened at the center of the bottom of the inner frame.

[0006] Preferably, a connecting column is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the inner frame fixing bracket, a dehydration hole is opened on the outer surface of the inner frame, a limiting groove is opened on the top of the inner frame, an inner frame cover is provided on the top of the inner frame, a handle is fixedly installed on the side of the inner frame cover away from the bottom of the inner frame, and a protrusion is fixedly installed on the side of the inner frame cover near the limiting groove.

[0007] The above technical solution facilitates the connection between the inner frame fixing bracket and the dehydrator body by setting the connecting column, prevents water splashing during the dehydration process by setting the inner frame cover, improves the hygiene of the working environment, and makes it easier for workers to close or open the inner frame cover from the inner frame, thus improving work efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the slider and the positioning slide rail are slidably connected, and the slider and the positioning slide rail are provided in three identical sets, with the three sets of sliders and positioning slide rails being distributed in a ring at equal distances from the center of the inner frame fixing frame.

[0009] With the above technical solution, when the inner frame is installed inside the inner frame fixing frame, the design of setting the slider and positioning slide rail as sliding connection can help the staff to easily connect the inner frame to the inner frame fixing frame, improving work efficiency. Furthermore, by setting three sets of identical sliders and positioning slide rails, the stability of the inner frame installation can be facilitated.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting post and the positioning groove are plugged in and installed. The limiting post and the positioning groove are provided in three identical sets. The three sets of limiting posts can be inserted into the positioning groove and are located at equal distances in a ring at the bottom center of the inner frame fixing frame.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the design of the limiting post and positioning groove for plug-in installation ensures that when the inner frame is installed inside the inner frame fixing frame, the limiting post fits perfectly into the positioning groove. By setting three sets of identical limiting posts and positioning grooves, the inner frame is fixed to the inner frame fixing frame. The triangular distribution of the positioning groove and limiting post effectively avoids the problem of the inner frame shifting due to the unpredictable position of the shrimp rotating at high speed in the inner frame during centrifugal dehydration, which would cause the inner frame to collide with the inner wall of the dehydrator and deform. This improves the stability of the inner frame and facilitates disassembly and installation.

[0012] Preferably, multiple sets of the locking teeth are arranged at equal intervals, and the multiple sets of locking teeth are located at the bottom of the inner frame in a ring distribution. The locking teeth can be locked into the locking slots, and the locking slots are distributed in a ring on the inner side of the inner frame fixing bracket.

[0013] The above technical solution, through multiple sets of locking teeth engaging in the slots, enables the inner frame and the inner frame fixing frame to rotate synchronously when the dehydrator is rotating at high speed. This prevents the inner frame and the inner frame fixing frame from loosening due to the high speed of the machine, which would reduce centrifugal force and the dehydration effect of the shrimp. The tight engagement of the locking teeth prevents accidental detachment or displacement, improving the safety of equipment operation. At the same time, this design facilitates disassembly and replacement, simplifies maintenance and repair work, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0014] Preferably, the cross-section of the limiting groove is L-shaped, the protrusion can be inserted into the limiting groove, and the protrusion is plugged into the inner groove of the limiting groove.

[0015] With the above technical solution, when the inner frame cover is closed with the inner frame, the protrusion can be engaged in the limiting groove. Then, the inner frame cover is rotated clockwise, and the protrusion is rotated into the inner groove of the limiting groove, thereby limiting the inner frame cover and preventing the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation during operation from throwing the inner frame cover out. In addition, by setting the inner frame cover, water splashing can be effectively prevented during the spin-drying process, thereby improving the hygiene of the working environment for workers.

[0016] Preferably, multiple sets of dehydration holes are arranged at equal intervals, and the multiple sets of dehydration holes are located on the outer surface of the inner frame in a ring distribution.

[0017] By using the above technical solution and setting multiple sets of dehydration holes, the number of liquid discharge channels can be increased, the dehydration speed can be accelerated, and multiple sets of dehydration holes can evenly distribute the internal pressure, avoiding excessive local pressure that could cause equipment damage or material deformation, thereby improving the stability and durability of the equipment.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an inner frame unit for shrimp dehydration equipment, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The inner frame unit of this shrimp dehydration equipment, through the one-to-one correspondence of multiple sets of teeth and slots, can achieve synchronous rotation of the inner frame and the inner frame fixing frame when the dehydrator rotates at high speed. This can effectively prevent the inner frame and the inner frame fixing frame from loosening due to high-speed rotation during operation, thus avoiding a decrease in the shrimp dehydration effect. Furthermore, the tight cooperation between the teeth and slots can prevent accidental detachment or displacement, improving the safety of equipment operation. At the same time, this design facilitates disassembly and replacement, simplifies maintenance and repair work, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0020] 2. The inner frame unit of this shrimp dehydration equipment is slidably connected to the positioning rail via a slider, allowing workers to quickly install the inner frame into the inner frame fixing frame. Furthermore, the positioning grooves at the bottom of the inner frame correspond one-to-one with the limiting posts, ensuring the inner frame is securely installed to the inner frame fixing frame. The triangular distribution of the positioning grooves and limiting posts effectively prevents the shrimp from rotating at high speed within the inner frame during centrifugal dehydration, thus avoiding the problem of the inner frame shifting due to its unpredictable position and colliding with the inner wall of the dehydrator, leading to deformation. This improves the stability of the inner frame and facilitates disassembly and installation. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Example 1: As Figure 1-5As shown, the inner frame unit for shrimp dehydration equipment provided by this utility model includes an inner frame fixing frame 1 and an inner frame 6 located inside the inner frame fixing frame 1. A positioning slide rail 2 is provided on the inner side of the inner frame fixing frame 1. A limiting post 3 is fixedly installed at the center of the top side of the bottom of the inner frame fixing frame 1. A slot 4 is opened on the top side of the bottom of the inner frame fixing frame 1. A slider 9 is fixedly installed on the side of the inner frame 6 near the inner frame fixing frame 1. A locking tooth 10 is fixedly installed on the edge of the bottom of the inner frame 6. A positioning groove 11 is opened at the center of the bottom of the inner frame 6.

[0029] Specifically, a connecting column 5 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the inner frame fixing bracket 1, a dewatering hole 7 is opened on the outer surface of the inner frame 6, a limiting groove 8 is opened on the top of the inner frame 6, an inner frame cover 12 is provided on the top of the inner frame 6, a handle 13 is fixedly installed on the side of the inner frame cover 12 away from the bottom of the inner frame 6, and a protrusion 14 is fixedly installed on the side of the inner frame cover 12 near the limiting groove 8. The advantages are that by setting the connecting column 5, the inner frame fixing bracket 1 can be easily connected to the dewatering machine body; by setting the inner frame cover 12, water splashes can be prevented during the dewatering process, improving the hygiene of the working environment; and by setting the handle 13, the operator can easily close or open the inner frame cover 12 from the inner frame 6, improving work efficiency.

[0030] Specifically, the slider 9 and the positioning slide rail 2 are slidably connected. There are three identical sets of slider 9 and positioning slide rail 2. The three sets of slider 9 and positioning slide rail 2 are located at equal distances in a ring at the center of the inner frame fixing frame 1. The advantage is that when the inner frame 6 is installed inside the inner frame fixing frame 1, the design of sliding connection between slider 9 and positioning slide rail 2 can help the staff to easily connect the inner frame 6 to the inner frame fixing frame 1, improving work efficiency. Furthermore, by setting three identical sets of slider 9 and positioning slide rail 2, the stability of the inner frame 6 can be facilitated during installation.

[0031] Specifically, the limiting post 3 and the positioning groove 11 are plug-in installed. The limiting post 3 and the positioning groove 11 are provided in three identical sets. The three sets of limiting posts 3 can be inserted into the positioning groove 11 and are located at equal distances in a ring at the bottom center of the inner frame fixing frame 1. The advantage is that, through the plug-in installation design of the limiting post 3 and the positioning groove 11, when the inner frame 6 is installed inside the inner frame fixing frame 1, the limiting post 3 is just inserted into the positioning groove 11. By setting three identical sets of limiting posts 3 and positioning grooves 11, the inner frame 6 is fixed to the inner frame fixing frame 1. Through the triangular distribution of the positioning groove 11 and the limiting post 3, the problem of the inner frame 6 being deformed due to the unstable position of the shrimp rotating at high speed in the inner frame during centrifugal dehydration and the collision between the inner frame 6 and the inner wall of the dehydrator is effectively avoided. This improves the stability of the inner frame and facilitates disassembly and installation.

[0032] Example 2: Figure 2-5 As shown, this is an improvement on the previous embodiment.

[0033] Specifically, multiple sets of locking teeth 10 are evenly spaced and arranged in a ring at the bottom of the inner frame 6. The locking teeth 10 can be engaged in the locking slots 4, which are arranged in a ring on the inner side of the inner frame fixing frame 1. The advantage is that by engaging multiple sets of locking teeth 10 in the locking slots 4, the inner frame 6 and the inner frame fixing frame 1 can rotate synchronously when the dehydrator is rotating at high speed. This avoids the loosening of the inner frame 6 and the inner frame fixing frame 1 due to the high speed of the machine, which would reduce the centrifugal force and the dehydration effect of the shrimp. The tight fit between the locking teeth 10 and the locking slots 4 can prevent accidental detachment or displacement, improving the safety of equipment operation. At the same time, this design facilitates disassembly and replacement, simplifies maintenance and repair work, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0034] Specifically, the cross-section of the limiting groove 8 is L-shaped, and the protrusion 14 can be inserted into the limiting groove 8. It is also plugged into the inner groove of the limiting groove 8. The advantage is that when the inner frame cover 12 is closed with the inner frame 6, the protrusion 14 can be inserted into the limiting groove 8. Then, the inner frame cover 12 is rotated clockwise, and the protrusion 14 is rotated into the inner groove of the limiting groove 8, thereby limiting the inner frame cover 12 and preventing the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation during operation from throwing the inner frame cover 12 out. In addition, by setting the inner frame cover 12, water splashing during the spin-drying process can be effectively prevented, thereby improving the hygiene of the working environment for the staff.

[0035] Specifically, multiple sets of dehydration holes 7 are arranged at equal intervals. These multiple sets of dehydration holes 7 are located on the outer surface of the inner frame 6 in a ring-shaped distribution. The advantage is that by setting multiple sets of dehydration holes 7, the number of liquid discharge channels can be increased, the dehydration speed can be accelerated, and the multiple sets of dehydration holes 7 can evenly distribute the internal pressure, avoid excessive local pressure that could cause equipment damage or material deformation, and improve the stability and durability of the equipment.

[0036] Working Principle: During use, the operator connects the inner frame 6 to the inner frame fixing frame 1 via a sliding connection between the slider 9 and the positioning rail 2. Then, through a plug-in installation design using the limiting post 3 and the positioning groove 11, the limiting post 3 precisely engages with the positioning groove 11 when the inner frame 6 is installed inside the inner frame fixing frame 1. By setting three identical sets of limiting posts 3 and positioning grooves 11, the inner frame 6 is fixed to the inner frame fixing frame 1. This prevents the inner frame from shifting due to the shrimp's unpredictable position during centrifugal dehydration, thus avoiding collisions and deformation of the inner frame 6 against the inner wall of the dehydrator. This improves the stability of the inner frame and facilitates disassembly and installation. Furthermore, multiple sets of locking teeth 10 engage with the locking groove 4, ensuring synchronous rotation of the inner frame 6 and the inner frame fixing frame 1 during high-speed dehydration. This prevents loosening of the inner frame 6 and the inner frame fixing frame 1 due to high-speed machine rotation, which could reduce centrifugal force and hinder shrimp dehydration. The reduced water efficiency is prevented by the tight fit between the locking teeth 10 and the locking groove 4, which prevents accidental detachment or displacement, thus improving the safety of equipment operation. This design also facilitates disassembly and replacement, simplifying maintenance and reducing costs. When the inner frame cover 12 is closed to the inner frame 6, the protrusion 14 engages with the limiting groove 8. Rotating the inner frame cover 12 clockwise then moves the protrusion 14 into the inner groove of the limiting groove 8, thus limiting the inner frame cover 12 and preventing it from being thrown out by centrifugal force generated during high-speed rotation. Furthermore, the inner frame cover 12 effectively prevents water splashing during spin-drying, improving the hygiene of the working environment. Multiple sets of dehydration holes 7 increase the number of liquid discharge channels, accelerating the dehydration speed. These holes also evenly distribute internal pressure, preventing excessive local pressure that could damage the equipment or deform materials, thus improving the stability and durability of the equipment.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art 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 appended claims and their equivalents.
