Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili processing, and in particular to an energy-saving raw material dryer. Background Technology

[0002] Chili peppers are a widely used condiment and ingredient, belonging to the nightshade family, primarily used to enhance the flavor and color of dishes. There are many varieties of chili peppers, including bell peppers and regular peppers, and they are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants, offering health benefits. Due to their unique flavor and aroma, chili peppers hold an important place in cooking around the world. Drying removes moisture from chili peppers, thereby inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mold, extending shelf life, and reducing the risk of food spoilage.

[0003] In the process of developing this application, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology: Conventional dryers cannot agitate the chilies after they are placed inside, resulting in uneven distribution of hot air and potentially uneven drying. Some chilies may be over-dried while others remain under-dried, affecting product quality. Furthermore, after drying, workers need to manually remove the chilies, increasing labor intensity and time consumption, and potentially posing safety hazards such as burns from high temperatures or accidents caused by improper operation.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an energy-saving raw material dryer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an energy-saving raw material dryer. This invention can stir the chili peppers during the drying process and automatically remove the material after drying is complete.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An energy-saving raw material dryer includes a drying box, a stirring mechanism, and a pushing mechanism. A stirring tank is fixedly installed at the upper end of the drying box. A No. 1 motor is fixedly installed at the front end of the upper side of the drying box. A No. 1 gear is fixedly sleeved at the output end of the No. 1 motor. A rotating column is rotatably installed on the upper front side of the drying box. A No. 2 gear is fixedly sleeved at the front end of the rotating column. The rear side of the rotating column passes through the drying box and leads to two movable plates fixedly sleeved inside the drying box. A folding door is hinged to one side of the drying box. An air inlet is fixedly installed at the lower end of one side of the drying box. An open fixing plate is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the inner side of the drying box.

[0008] The stirring mechanism includes a fixed ring and two mounting plates. An internal gear ring is fixedly installed at the inner end of the fixed ring. A second motor is fixedly installed at the upper end of each of the two mounting plates. A third gear is fixedly sleeved near the output end of the second motor. Multiple stirring paddles are fixedly sleeved near the lower end of the output end of the second motor.

[0009] The pushing mechanism includes a No. 3 motor and a pushing plate. A lead screw is fixedly installed at the output end of the No. 3 motor, and a pushing door plate is fixedly installed on the lower side of one side of the pushing plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the first gear is meshed with the second gear, and the two movable plates are movably disposed at the lower end of the mixing tank.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing ring is fixedly installed inside the mixing tank near the middle position, and the two mounting plates are slidably installed on the upper end of the fixing ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the third gear meshes with the internal gear ring, and the plurality of the stirring paddles are rotatably disposed inside the stirring tank.

[0013] Furthermore, the No. 3 motor is fixedly installed at one corner of the top of the drying box, and the lead screw is rotatably connected to one side of the top of the drying box relative to the No. 3 motor.

[0014] Furthermore, the pusher plate contacts the upper end of the perforated fixing plate, and the pusher plate contacts the folding door.

[0015] Furthermore, the pusher plate is movably disposed at the lower end of the two movable plates, and a guide post is fixedly disposed on the side of the top of the drying box away from the lead screw.

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

[0017] 1. This utility model proposes an energy-saving raw material dryer. After adding chili peppers from the top of the mixing tank, starting the second motor causes the third gear to mesh with the internal gear ring, moving the movable plate above the fixed ring and changing the position of the stirring paddle. Simultaneously, starting the second motor causes the stirring paddle to rotate inside the mixing tank, promoting the drying efficiency of the chili peppers. When the first motor is started, the first gear meshes with the second gear, causing the two movable plates to fold and release the chili peppers onto the upper part of the perforated fixed plate. Through the continuous rotation and flexible adjustment of the stirring paddle's position, heat and air can be evenly distributed, thereby increasing the drying speed of the chili peppers and reducing the drying time.

[0018] 2. The energy-saving raw material dryer proposed in this utility model allows the chili peppers to receive hot air more effectively when they fall onto the upper part of the perforated fixing plate, as they are closer to the air inlet. This speeds up the drying process. At this time, the No. 3 motor is started, and the pusher plate pushes the material on the upper part of the perforated fixing plate toward the folding door. The pusher plate also pushes the door upwards, thus pushing the chili peppers out of the drying box. This reduces manual intervention, lowers labor costs, and improves the safety and convenience of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0029] 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.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0031] An energy-saving raw material dryer includes a drying box 1, a stirring mechanism 3, and a pushing mechanism 12. A stirring tank 2 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the drying box 1. A first motor 6 is fixedly installed at the front end of the upper side of the drying box 1. A first gear 7 is fixedly sleeved at the output end of the first motor 6. A rotating column 8 is rotatably installed on the upper front side of the drying box 1. A second gear 9 is fixedly sleeved at the front end of the rotating column 8. The rear side of the rotating column 8 passes through the drying box 1 and leads to two movable plates 10 fixedly sleeved inside the drying box 1. A folding door 4 is hinged to one side of the drying box 1. An air inlet 5 is fixedly installed at the lower end of one side of the drying box 1. An open fixing plate 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the inner side of the drying box 1. The first gear 7 and the second gear 9 are meshed and connected. The two movable plates 10 are movably installed at the lower end of the stirring tank 2.

[0032] Specifically, the stirring mechanism 3 of this invention can stir the chili peppers in the stirring tank 2, while the pushing mechanism 12 can push the dried chili peppers out of the drying box 1.

[0033] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 The stirring mechanism 3 includes a fixed ring 301 and two mounting plates 302. An internal gear ring 306 is fixedly installed on the inner end of the fixed ring 301. A second motor 303 is fixedly installed on the upper end of each of the two mounting plates 302. A third gear 305 is fixedly sleeved near the output end of the second motor 303. Multiple stirring paddles 304 are fixedly sleeved near the lower end of the output end of the second motor 303. The fixed ring 301 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner side of the mixing tank 2. The two mounting plates 302 are slidably installed on the upper end of the fixed ring 301. The third gear 305 is meshed with the internal gear ring 306. The multiple stirring paddles 304 are rotatably installed inside the mixing tank 2.

[0034] Specifically, after adding chili peppers from the top of the mixing tank 2, the second motor 303 is started. Because the third gear 305 meshes with the internal gear ring 306, the mounting plate 302 will move on the upper end of the fixed ring 301, thereby changing the position of the stirring paddle 304. At the same time, the start of the second motor 303 causes the stirring paddle 304 to rotate inside the mixing tank 2, promoting the drying efficiency of the chili peppers. When the first motor 6 is started, because the first gear 7 meshes with the second gear 9, the two movable plates 10 will fold, releasing the chili peppers onto the upper end of the perforated fixed plate 11. Through the continuous rotation and flexible adjustment of the position of the stirring paddle 304, heat and air can be evenly distributed, thereby increasing the drying speed of the chili peppers and reducing the drying time.

[0035] Reference Figure 8 The feeding mechanism 12 includes a No. 3 motor 1201 and a feeding plate 1203. A lead screw 1202 is fixedly installed at the output end of the No. 3 motor 1201. A push door plate 1204 is fixedly installed on the lower side of one side of the feeding plate 1203. The No. 3 motor 1201 is fixedly installed at one corner of the top of the drying box 1. The lead screw 1202 is rotatably connected to the top of the drying box 1 relative to one side of the No. 3 motor 1201. The feeding plate 1203 contacts the upper end of the opening fixing plate 11. The push door plate 1204 contacts the folding door 4. The feeding plate 1203 is movably installed at the lower end of the two movable plates 10. A guide post is fixedly installed on the side of the top of the drying box 1 away from the lead screw 1202.

[0036] Specifically, when the chili peppers fall onto the perforated fixing plate 11, they are closer to the air inlet 5 and can receive hot air more effectively, thus accelerating the drying speed. At this time, the No. 3 motor 1201 is started, and the pusher plate 1203 pushes the material on the upper end of the perforated fixing plate 11 toward the folding door 4. The pusher plate 1204 is also pushed upwards. In this way, the pusher plate 1203 can push the chili peppers out of the drying box 1, thereby reducing manual intervention, reducing labor costs, and improving the safety and convenience of operation.

[0037] Working principle: After adding chili peppers from the top of the mixing tank 2, start motor 303. Since gear 305 meshes with internal gear ring 306, mounting plate 302 will move on the top of fixed ring 301, thereby changing the position of stirring paddle 304. At the same time, starting motor 303 causes stirring paddle 304 to rotate inside mixing tank 2, promoting the drying efficiency of chili peppers. When motor 6 is started, since gear 7 meshes with gear 9, the two movable plates 10 will fold, releasing the chili peppers onto the top of the perforated fixed plate 11.

[0038] Secondly, when the chili peppers fall onto the upper part of the perforated fixing plate 11, they are closer to the air inlet 5 and can receive hot air more effectively, thus speeding up the drying process. At this time, the No. 3 motor 1201 is started, and the pusher plate 1203 will push the material on the upper part of the perforated fixing plate 11 toward the folding door 4. The pusher plate 1204 will also be pushed upwards, so that the pusher plate 1203 can push the chili peppers out of the drying box 1.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
