Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of French fry drying technology, specifically to a drying device for processing potato fries. Background Technology

[0002] Potato fries are a food made from potatoes, cut into strips and deep-fried. They contain nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein, vitamin C, and potassium. Drying is a key processing step in potato fries production. Traditional drying methods typically involve natural air drying or using a hot air blower. These methods are slow and time-consuming, and the fries are prone to mold growth during rainy weather. Existing fries dryers usually use hot air to dry the fries. When a large number of fries are poured into the dryer, they tend to clump together. When the fries are too densely packed inside the dryer, airflow is obstructed, resulting in incomplete drying of the fries in the center. Therefore, we propose a drying device for potato fries processing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying device for processing potato fries, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] 1. Traditional drying methods are too slow, and French fries are prone to mold during the drying process;

[0005] 2. When the fries inside the dryer are piled up too densely, the dryer will have difficulty drying the fries in the center area.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a drying device for processing potato fries, including a drying chamber. A feeding chamber is fixedly installed on one side of the drying chamber, and one end of the feeding chamber is located inside the drying chamber. A dispersing component is installed inside the feeding chamber. The dispersing component includes a base plate, the side of the base plate away from the drying chamber being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding chamber. A plurality of protrusions are fixedly installed on the upper side of the base plate, and springs are symmetrically fixedly installed on the lower side of the base plate. The springs are located on the side of the protrusions near the drying chamber. An impact block is installed on the lower side of the protrusions. The impact block is rotatably installed inside the feeding chamber. A motor for driving the impact block to rotate is fixedly installed on one side of the feeding chamber.

[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the drying chamber is equipped with a conveying assembly, which includes a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is rotatably disposed inside the drying chamber. The surface of the conveyor belt is provided with a plurality of sieve holes. One end of the conveyor belt is disposed on the lower side of the bottom plate. The bottom of the drying chamber is provided with a slot, which is located on the lower side of the conveyor belt.

[0008] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a second motor is fixedly installed on one side of the drying chamber. The second motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft at one end of the conveyor belt. Multiple crossbars are installed on the upper side of the conveyor belt, and the crossbars are fixedly installed inside the drying chamber.

[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a top plate is fixedly installed on the upper side of the drying chamber, and a drying assembly is installed inside the drying chamber. The drying assembly is located on the upper side of the conveyor belt and includes two heaters, which are symmetrically fixedly installed on the lower side of the drying chamber.

[0010] As a further improvement to this technical solution, fans are symmetrically fixedly installed on the upper side of the top plate, and two fans are respectively installed on the upper side of the two heaters. A slot corresponding to the position of the two fans is opened in the middle of the top plate, and a No. 3 motor for driving the fans to rotate is fixedly installed on the upper side of the fan frame.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figures 1-2As shown, this embodiment provides a drying device for processing potato fries, including a drying chamber 1. A feeding chamber 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the drying chamber 1. When using the device, the user first pours the potato fries to be dried into the feeding chamber 2. A dispersing component 3 is installed inside the feeding chamber 2. The dispersing component 3 includes a bottom plate 31. The side of the bottom plate 31 away from the drying chamber 1 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding chamber 2. A guide plate that is inclined to one side is fixedly installed inside the feeding chamber 2. The guide plate is located on the upper side of the bottom plate 31. After the fries are poured into the feeding chamber 2, they fall along the guide plate to the upper side of the bottom plate 31. Springs 33 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the lower side of the bottom plate 31. The springs 33 are located on the side of the protrusion 32 near the drying chamber 1. An impact block 34 is provided on the lower side of the feeding bin 2. The impact block 34 is rotatably installed inside the feeding bin 2. A motor 35 is fixedly installed on one side of the feeding bin 2 to drive the impact block 34 to rotate. When the fries fall to the upper side of the bottom plate 31, the user starts the motor 35 to drive the impact block 34 to rotate. At the same time, the impact block 34 continuously impacts the bottom plate 31 and causes the bottom plate 31 to vibrate. The bottom plate 31 disperses the fries piled up on its upper side. Multiple protrusions 32 are fixedly installed on the upper side of the bottom plate 31. In order to make the fries in the middle position of the upper side of the bottom plate 31 roll to both sides of the bottom plate 31, the height of the multiple protrusions 32 decreases to both sides of the bottom plate 31, and the fries piled up gradually disperse to both sides of the bottom plate 31.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, one end of the feeding hopper 2 is located inside the drying chamber 1. The drying chamber 1 contains a conveyor assembly 4, which includes a conveyor belt 41. The conveyor belt 41 is rotatably mounted inside the drying chamber 1, with one end located below the bottom plate 31. After the fries are broken up, they fall evenly from the top of the bottom plate 31 onto the top of the conveyor belt 41. A top plate 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the drying chamber 1. A drying assembly 6 is located inside the drying chamber 1, positioned above the conveyor belt 41. The drying assembly 6 includes two heaters 61, which are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the drying chamber 1. When the fries fall onto the top of the conveyor belt 41, the user immediately activates the two heaters 61 to ventilate the interior of the drying chamber 1. The top plate 5 is symmetrically equipped with two fans 62 on its upper side. Each fan 62 is positioned above one of the two heaters 61. A slot corresponding to the position of the two fans 62 is located in the middle of the top plate 5. A No. 3 motor 63 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the fan 62 frame to drive the fans 62. After starting the two heaters 61, the user starts the two No. 3 motors 63 to drive the two fans 62. The two fans 62 agitate the air inside the drying chamber 1 and deliver hot air downwards. Each heater 61 has a baffle 64 mounted on its lower side, rotatably positioned inside the drying chamber 1. The baffle 64 is located above the conveyor belt 41. The fans 62 agitate the air inside the drying chamber 1... While the air is agitated, the two baffles 64 are blown around, constantly rotating and changing the direction of the hot air flow inside the drying chamber 1 to accelerate the flow rate of the hot air inside the drying chamber 1. This allows the hot air to quickly flow to the top of the fries and dry them rapidly. The surface of the conveyor belt 41 has several sieve holes, and the bottom of the drying chamber 1 has a slot located on the underside of the conveyor belt 41. While the fries are drying, moisture and fries residue on the surface of the fries fall downwards through the sieve holes on the surface of the conveyor belt 41 and through the slot at the bottom of the drying chamber 1 to the underside of the drying chamber 1. A second motor 42 is fixedly installed on one side of the drying chamber 1, and the second motor 42 is fixedly connected to the shaft at one end of the conveyor belt 41. Multiple crossbars 43 are provided on the upper side of the conveyor belt 41. The crossbars 43 are fixedly installed inside the drying chamber 1. A discharge plate 7 is fixedly installed on the side of the drying chamber 1 away from the feeding chamber 2. The discharge plate 7 is located on the lower side of the conveyor belt 41. While drying the fries, the user starts the second motor 42 to drive the conveyor belt 41 to rotate and convey the fries to the side close to the discharge plate 7. When the fries on the upper side of the conveyor belt 41 pass through the multiple crossbars 43, the multiple crossbars 43 lift the fries and turn them over, so that the surface of the fries is heated evenly and the drying speed of the fries is accelerated. After being conveyed to one side of the discharge plate 7, the fries fall into the interior of the discharge plate 7. The user places a holding device on the lower side of the discharge plate 7 to hold the fries that fall from the interior of the discharge plate 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, the potato fry drying device is used in the following steps: First, the user puts the fries into the feeding hopper 2. Then, the user starts the first motor 35 to drive the impact block 34 to impact the bottom plate 31. Under the impact of the impact block 34, the bottom plate 31 vibrates continuously and disperses the fries piled up on its upper side. The fries on the upper side of the bottom plate 31 are gradually dispersed to both sides of the bottom plate 31 along multiple protrusions 32, and then fall evenly onto the upper side of the conveyor belt 41. When drying the fries, the device automatically breaks up the piled-up fries and evenly conveys the broken-up fries to the conveyor belt 41. Then, the user starts the two heaters 61 and the two fans 62 to dry the fries. At the same time, the user starts the second motor 42 to drive the conveyor belt 41 to convey the dried fries to the outside of the drying hopper 1, which speeds up the drying speed of the fries and avoids the device failing to completely dry the piled-up fries, thus improving the drying quality of the fries.
