Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea oil processing technology, and in particular to a drying room for tea seeds. Background Technology

[0002] Camellia seeds are the fruit of the camellia tree and the raw material for tea oil production. Camellia oil contains 85%-97% unsaturated fatty acids, the highest among various edible oils. It also contains tea polyphenols and camelliaside, which can effectively improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, lower cholesterol and fasting blood sugar, inhibit the rise of triglycerides, and have a significant effect on inhibiting cancer cells. After harvesting, camellia seeds need to undergo multiple processing steps before pressing. The drying process is a crucial step before pressing; using a drying room reduces the moisture content of the camellia seeds to the required range, improving the oil yield and quality. Because camellia seeds need to be heated evenly during drying, some devices that can turn them over have been designed. For example, a rapid camellia seed dryer disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. 202421402015.6 is used. However, these devices are usually small in volume, and the electric telescopic rods work inside the drying oven for a long time, resulting in low reliability. Therefore, companies still use traditional drying rooms such as a drying room for morel mushroom processing disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. 202023134800.2. These drying rooms have a large floor area, and by controlling the stacking height of the camellia seeds to below 40cm, the seeds can be heated evenly without turning them over. When using a drying chamber, it is necessary to monitor the stacking height of camellia seeds during the feeding process and to flatten them. Therefore, the drying chamber door needs to be opened for operation. To prevent camellia seeds from falling out of the drying chamber, baffles are installed at the outlet to intercept them. However, during discharge, the camellia seeds compress the baffles, requiring a large pulling force to remove them, increasing the difficulty of operation for workers. At the same time, when removing the baffles, a large number of camellia seeds fall out of the drying chamber, easily causing them to scatter. Therefore, a drying chamber for camellia seeds is needed, which has a first baffle at the outlet to facilitate feeding, and a second baffle on the first baffle that is easy to pull out, reducing the difficulty of discharge. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a drying chamber for camellia seeds, which features a first baffle at the outlet of the drying chamber to facilitate feeding, and a second baffle on the first baffle that is easy to pull out, reducing the difficulty of discharging.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model proposes a drying chamber for camellia seeds, comprising: a main body of the drying chamber, a first baffle, a second baffle, and a support plate. The support plate is installed 20cm to 40cm above the bottom of the inner cavity of the main body of the drying chamber via support columns. An opening is provided on one side of the main body of the drying chamber, and a double-leaf sealing door is provided at the opening. First slots are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the opening of the main body of the drying chamber, and the first baffle is installed at the opening of the main body of the drying chamber via the first slots. A discharge port is provided at the lower part of the first baffle, and second slots are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the discharge port. The second baffle is installed on the outer side of the discharge port by covering it via the second slots.

[0006] Furthermore, the second baffle is provided with transverse ribs, which are vertically fixed above the outer side of the second baffle, and when the second baffle is installed on the second slot, the ribs are attached to the upper part of the second slot.

[0007] Furthermore, the height of the first baffle is 50cm to 60cm, and the height of the first slot is 1.5 to 2 times that of the first baffle.

[0008] Furthermore, a vertically installed third baffle is provided in the inner cavity of the main body of the drying chamber. The third baffle is in the shape of an inverted L. The lower part of the third baffle is fixedly connected to the support plate, and the sides and upper part of the third baffle are connected to the inner wall of the main body of the drying chamber. A gap of 20cm to 30cm is left between the third baffle and the inner wall of the main body of the drying chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, a circulating fan is provided on the upper part of the third baffle, and a steam heater is provided below the support plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper part of the drying chamber is provided with a dehumidification duct, one end of which is connected to the inner cavity of the drying chamber, and the other end of which is connected to the atmosphere through a fan.

[0011] Furthermore, a feeding conveyor belt is installed on the upper part of the main body of the drying chamber, and a feeding port is provided on the upper part of the main body of the drying chamber. The feeding conveyor belt is connected to the feeding port through a discharge trough.

[0012] Furthermore, a discharge conveyor belt is provided below the outlet of the main body of the drying chamber, and the height of the discharge conveyor belt is lower than the outlet.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a first baffle at the opening of the main body of the drying chamber, the camellia seeds can be blocked when the sealing door is open during feeding, thus preventing the camellia seeds from scattering. Furthermore, a second baffle is set at the discharge port of the first baffle. The second baffle has a small area and is subjected to less pressure from the camellia seeds, making it easier to pull out during discharge and reducing the difficulty of discharge.

[0022] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the stated features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a drying room for camellia seeds, including: a drying room body 1, a first baffle 2, a second baffle 3, and a support plate 4. The support plate 4 is installed at a position 20cm to 40cm above the bottom of the inner cavity of the drying room body 1 via a support column 5. The drying room body 1 has an opening on one side, and a double-opening sealing door 6 is provided at the opening. A first slot 7 is symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the opening of the drying room body 1. The first baffle 2 is installed at the opening of the drying room body 1 through the first slot 7. A discharge port 8 is provided at the lower part of the first baffle 2. A second slot 9 is symmetrically arranged on the outside of the discharge port 8. The second baffle 3 is installed on the outside of the discharge port 8 by covering it through the second slot 9.

[0024] There are usually multiple drying chamber bodies 1, and they are installed in a straight line. The drying chamber bodies 1 are connected by a feeding conveyor belt 14 and a feed inlet 15. When feeding, the sealing door 6 of the drying chamber body 1 is opened, and a first baffle 2 is installed in the first slot 7, and a second baffle 3 is installed in the second slot 9. Figure 4 As shown, camellia seeds are fed to the top of the inlet 15 via the feeding conveyor belt 14, and then fed into the inlet 15 by the guide plate. Workers in the main body 1 of the drying chamber use tools to flatten the camellia seeds and control the pile height to below 40cm. After completing the feeding operation in one drying chamber main body 1, the guide plate on the feeding conveyor belt 14 is removed. Figure 5 As shown, a side baffle is installed and a cover is placed on the feed inlet 15. At this time, the camellia seeds on the feeding conveyor belt 14 will flow to the next drying chamber body 1 for loading under the drive of the feeding conveyor belt 14.

[0025] After feeding is completed, the sealing door 6 is closed, and steam is introduced into the steam heater 12 to raise the internal temperature of the drying chamber 1, thereby drying the camellia seeds. The support plate 4 is used to support the camellia seeds, and it also has multiple through holes to facilitate airflow. The circulating fan 11 circulates the air inside the drying chamber 1, ensuring that the camellia seeds are heated evenly. When the humidity inside the drying chamber 1 is too high, the humid air can be discharged through the exhaust duct 13, and fresh air can be introduced through the single-row air duct on the drying chamber 1, causing the moisture content of the camellia seeds to decrease rapidly. During drying, the sealing door 6 is opened periodically to remove the camellia seeds for moisture content testing. When the sealing door 6 is opened, the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 prevent the camellia seeds from flowing out of the drying chamber 1.

[0026] Once the moisture content of the camellia seeds meets the requirements, heating is stopped, and fresh air is introduced to lower the seed temperature. After cooling, the sealed door 6 is opened. Due to the pressure from the camellia seeds, the first baffle 2 is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the drying chamber body 1, making it difficult to open. Therefore, the second baffle 3 can be opened first, and some camellia seeds can be discharged through the discharge port 8 to reduce the pressure of the seeds on the first baffle 2. Then, the first baffle 2 can be removed, and discharge can continue. The discharge port 8 is 50cm × 20cm in size, which reduces the pushing force of the camellia seeds on the second baffle 3, making it easier to remove the second baffle 3 and facilitate discharge. The camellia seeds are then collected and sent to the subsequent processing device via the discharge conveyor belt 16 to complete the drying operation.

[0027] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second baffle 3 is provided with a horizontal rib 10. The rib 10 is vertically fixed above the outer side of the second baffle 3. When the second baffle 3 is installed on the second slot 9, the rib 10 is attached to the upper part of the second slot 9. The rib 10 provides a force-bearing position, making it convenient for workers to pull the second baffle 3 upward. At the same time, the rib 10 can improve the bending resistance of the second baffle 3 and prevent the second baffle 3 from bending and deforming.

[0028] Preferably, the height of the first baffle 2 is 50cm to 60cm, so that a camellia seed with a height of 40cm can be blocked by one first baffle 2. The height of the first slot 7 is 1.5 to 2 times that of the first baffle 2, so that two first baffles 2 can be placed on the first slot 7. When processing some camellia seeds with low moisture content, the stack height can be increased to 50cm to 70cm, at which time the camellia seeds can be blocked by two first baffles 2.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a vertically installed third baffle 17 is provided in the inner cavity of the drying chamber body 1. The third baffle 17 is inverted L-shape. The lower part of the third baffle 17 is fixedly connected to the support plate 4. The sides and the upper part of the third baffle 17 are connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber body 1. A gap of 20cm to 30cm is left between the third baffle 17 and the inner wall of the drying chamber body 1. The third baffle 17 creates an "air duct" in the drying chamber body 1, which facilitates the circulation of hot air in the drying chamber body 1 under the action of the circulating fan 11, so that the camellia seeds are heated evenly.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, a circulating fan 11 is provided on the upper part of the third baffle 17, and a steam heater 12 is provided below the support plate 4. By introducing high-temperature steam into the steam heater 12, the temperature in the main body of the drying chamber 1 is raised to 60°C to 80°C, thereby accelerating the drying speed of the camellia seeds. The third baffle 17 creates an "air duct" in the main body of the drying chamber 1, which facilitates the circulation of hot air in the main body of the drying chamber 1 under the action of the circulating fan 11, so that the camellia seeds are heated evenly.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the upper part of the drying chamber body 1 is provided with a dehumidification duct 13. One end of the dehumidification duct 13 is connected to the inner cavity of the drying chamber body 1, and the other end of the dehumidification duct 13 is connected to the atmosphere through a fan. In the early stage of drying, since the moisture content of the camellia seeds is high, in order to reduce the moisture content as soon as possible, it is necessary to exhaust the humid air in the drying chamber body 1. The air in the drying chamber body 1 is extracted by the circulating fan 11 to achieve the dehumidification operation.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, a feeding conveyor belt 14 is installed on the upper part of the drying chamber body 1, and a feeding inlet 15 is provided on the upper part of the drying chamber body 1. The feeding conveyor belt 14 is connected to the feeding inlet 15 through a discharge chute. The feeding conveyor belt 14 is an existing conveyor belt. By installing a guide plate on the feeding conveyor belt 14, the camellia seeds on the feeding conveyor belt 14 can be pushed to the opening on the side of the feeding conveyor belt 14, so that they enter the drying chamber body 1 through the feeding inlet 15. When feeding is not required, the guide plate can be removed, and another baffle can be used to block the opening of the feeding conveyor belt 14 to prevent material leakage. When not feeding, a cover can also be placed on the feeding inlet 15 to prevent hot air from escaping during drying.

[0033] Specifically, a discharge conveyor belt 16 is provided below the outlet of the main body 1 of the drying room. The height of the discharge conveyor belt 16 is lower than that of the discharge port 8. The camellia seeds discharged from the discharge port 8 are collected by the discharge conveyor belt 16 and sent to the pressing process for subsequent pressing operations.

[0034] Of course, there may be other implementations of this utility model. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
