Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chrysanthemum processing technology, and in particular to a steam blanching device for chrysanthemums. Background Technology

[0002] Chrysanthemums are perennial herbaceous plants or rhizomatous subshrubs with ornamental, economic, and medicinal value. Chrysanthemum processing involves steaming to kill the green, primarily to maintain color, prevent the oxidation of tea polyphenols, retain nutrients, and minimize nutrient loss.

[0003] In existing blanching equipment, when a fixed steam outlet layout is used, steam, after being generated by the generator, enters the processing area in a relatively singular direction and angle. Because the steam outlet position is fixed, it's difficult for the steam to cover the chrysanthemums comprehensively and without blind spots during blanching. This results in the chrysanthemums not receiving sufficient steam blanching, ultimately causing uneven blanching levels throughout the batch and affecting product quality. To compensate for uneven steam coverage, operators need to manually adjust the position of the chrysanthemums frequently, or repeatedly remove and rearrange them before blanching, significantly increasing labor and time costs and reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a steam blanching device for chrysanthemums.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0011] Preferably, the length of the air outlet pipe is equal to the radius of the placement rack, and the bottom of the mounting cover is provided with a conical groove.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 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.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4A chrysanthemum steam blanching device includes a processing box 1, a mounting cover 2 on the processing box 1, an air inlet pipe 3 and an exhaust pipe 4 on the processing box 1 and mounting cover 2 respectively, wherein the air inlet pipe 3 is connected to a mature steam generator in the prior art. The bottom of the mounting cover 2 is provided with a conical groove, which facilitates the discharge of gas through the exhaust pipe 4, and the exhaust pipe 4 is provided with an electric valve.

[0023] The processing box 1 is equipped with a placement rack 7 via a positioning mechanism, and the length of the exhaust pipe 6 is equal to the radius of the placement rack 7. The exhaust pipe 6 rotates with the rotating frame 11, enabling the steam blanching operation of chrysanthemums placed on the circular placement rack 7.

[0024] The inner wall of the processing box 1 is provided with an annular groove 12, and a rotating frame 11 is slidably sealed inside the annular groove 12. An exhaust pipe 6 is installed on the rotating frame 11. The outer wall of the processing box 1 is provided with a rotating groove 13, and a drive shaft 14 extending into the annular groove 12 is rotatably installed inside the rotating groove 13. The drive shaft 14 is connected to the rotating frame 11 through a transmission mechanism. A rotating shaft 17 extending to the outside is provided inside the air inlet pipe 3. Multiple blades 18 are provided on the rotating shaft 17. In the prior art, the steam generator is fed into the annular groove 12 through the air inlet pipe 3. It can drive the rotating shaft 17 to rotate through the blades 18. The rotating shaft 17 is connected to the drive shaft 14 through a synchronization mechanism.

[0025] The positioning mechanism includes a support ring 8 installed on the inner wall of the processing box 1. The upper end face of the support ring 8 is provided with multiple positioning rods 9, and the bottom of the placement frame 7 is provided with multiple positioning grooves 10. As shown in the figure, when the placement frame 7 is placed in the processing box 1, the positioning rods 9 are in the positioning grooves 10, realizing the positioning of the placement frame 7. The placement frame 7 can only move vertically to disengage from the support ring 8 and other components, and cannot rotate or displace after positioning.

[0026] The transmission mechanism includes a transmission gear 16 mounted on a transmission shaft 14, and a gear ring 15 meshing with the transmission gear 16 on the rotating frame 11. As the transmission shaft 14 rotates, the transmission gear 16 and the gear ring 15 can drive the rotating frame 11 and the air outlet pipe 6 to rotate. As shown in the figure, the vertical cross-section of the rotating frame 11 is H-shaped and is a sealed sliding installation, which can effectively prevent overall overflow.

[0027] The synchronization mechanism includes timing pulleys 19 mounted on the rotating shaft 17 and the transmission shaft 14, and the two timing pulleys 19 are connected by a timing belt 20. By relying on the timing pulleys 19 and the timing belt 20, the synchronous rotation of the rotating shaft 17 and the transmission shaft 14 is achieved, thus realizing the transmission of power.

[0028] The placement rack 7 is divided into six equal parts, as shown in the figure. Chrysanthemums can be divided into six parts and placed on the placement rack 7 to await steam sterilization. The mounting cover 2 is equipped with two handles 5. Relying on the two handles 5, the mounting cover 2 can be lifted vertically. The mounting cover 2 rests on the processing box 1 under its own weight to achieve a sealed operation of the box opening. It can also be designed to be threadedly connected to the processing box 1, depending on the specific situation.

[0029] Components not specifically described in this utility model are all standard parts and can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each component adopt mature methods in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0030] In use, chrysanthemums are divided into six portions and placed on a shelf 7, which is also divided into six portions. The shelf 7 is positioned in the processing box 1 by a positioning mechanism. Then, a mounting cover 2 is installed. Steam is generated using a steam generator (as in existing technology) and sent into the processing box 1 through an air inlet pipe 3. When the steam enters the air inlet pipe 3, it pushes the blades 18 on the rotating shaft 17, causing the rotating shaft 17 to rotate. The rotating shaft 17 drives the transmission shaft 14 to rotate synchronously via a synchronizing mechanism (synchronizing wheel 19 and synchronizing belt 20). The transmission gear 16 on the transmission shaft 14 meshes with the gear ring 15 on the rotating frame 11. As the transmission shaft 14 rotates, it drives the rotating frame 11 to slide and rotate within the annular groove 12. The exhaust pipe 6 installed on the rotating frame 11 also rotates accordingly. The steam is used to steam-blanch the chrysanthemums on the shelf 7 through the rotating exhaust pipe 6. The conical groove structure at the bottom of the mounting cover 2 facilitates the steam discharge through the exhaust pipe 4. An electric valve is installed in the exhaust pipe 4 to control the steam discharge.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
