Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehydration treatment technology, and in particular to a dehydration tank. Background Technology

[0002] When pre-processing Sichuan peppercorns, washing and dehydration steps are required. In existing dehydration equipment, centrifugal dehydration equipment is generally used for dehydration of small batches of Sichuan peppercorns. The existing centrifugal dehydration equipment has a basically the same principle: the drum is driven by a motor to rotate, and the material to be dehydrated is put into the drum for centrifugal dehydration.

[0003] However, compared to fruits and vegetables, peppercorns are smaller in size. If they are put directly into a basket with large holes for dehydration, they are easy to get stuck in the holes or fall out. Therefore, peppercorns are usually put into a gauze bag with smaller holes first, and then the gauze bag containing peppercorns is put into a drum for centrifugal dehydration.

[0004] However, existing dehydration equipment is generally equipped with a cover and a detachable internal drum. During use, the cover is first opened, and then the basket containing fruits and vegetables is placed on the internal drum. The drum drives the basket to rotate synchronously, thereby dehydrating the fruits and vegetables inside. After dehydration is completed, the cover needs to be opened again and the entire basket needs to be taken out, which is not convenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to provide a dehydration tank that offers a convenient dehydration method for the pre-treatment of small batches of Sichuan peppercorns after washing. Compared to traditional dehydration methods, it eliminates the need for frequent opening and closing of the lid. Simply place the gauze bag containing the Sichuan peppercorns directly into the inner basket through the open inlet, and the equipment can be started for dehydration. Similarly, after dehydration is complete and the drum stops rotating, the gauze bag containing the Sichuan peppercorns can be directly removed from the basket through the open inlet. Compared to existing dehydration tanks, the dehydration tank provided by this invention saves a significant amount of time and improves the efficiency of Sichuan peppercorn pre-treatment by eliminating the need for frequent opening and closing of the equipment lid.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A dehydration tank, comprising:

[0008] The machine body is provided with a dehydration mechanism mounting slot and a drive mechanism mounting slot. The top of the dehydration mechanism mounting slot is provided with an openable cover, and a feeding port is provided on the cover. The size of the feeding port is smaller than the size of the dehydration mechanism.

[0009] A drive mechanism, installed in the drive mechanism mounting slot, is used to drive the dewatering mechanism to rotate.

[0010] The dewatering mechanism is rotatably installed in the dewatering mechanism mounting slot and is used to centrifugally dewater the internal materials. The dewatering mechanism mounting slot is equipped with a drain outlet.

[0011] In one possible implementation, one side of the cover is rotatably connected to the top of the dewatering mechanism mounting slot, and the other side is provided with a handle. One side of the cover can rotate around the top of the dewatering mechanism mounting slot. By manually operating the handle, the cover can be opened or closed. When the cover is closed, it can prevent materials, water stains, or baskets from falling out during the centrifugal operation inside.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the cover is provided with a slot, and a baffle is inserted into the slot to block the feeding port. When the material placed directly in the basket is dehydrated, the cover needs to be opened. At this time, there is no need to leave a feeding port on the cover. In order to prevent the material and water from splashing out of the feeding port, the feeding port can be blocked by the baffle.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the baffle is a transparent acrylic sheet, which not only prevents materials and water from splashing out of the feeding port, but also allows for a direct view of the internal dehydration process.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the dewatering mechanism includes a rotating disk rotatably mounted in a dewatering mechanism mounting groove. A ring is fixed to the upper part of the rotating disk, and a basket is disposed inside the ring. The circular sidewall and bottom wall of the basket are provided with drainage holes. The bottom of the basket is pressed against the rotating disk, and the basket can be easily placed on the rotating disk. When the rotating disk rotates, it can synchronously drive the basket to rotate together. The ring can improve the stability of the basket. The basket is detachable, which facilitates material loading and unloading and cleaning of the drainage holes.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the top of the ring hoop is provided with multiple actuating blocks, and the outer side of the basket is provided with multiple actuating plates. The actuating plates are located between the actuating blocks. During the rotation of the rotating disk, the ring hoop will rotate, and the rotation of the ring hoop will drive the actuating blocks to rotate. When the actuating blocks rotate, they act on the actuating plates, thereby driving the actuating plates to rotate. Since the actuating plates and the basket are an integral structure, they can drive the basket to rotate synchronously. By setting the actuating blocks and actuating plates, excessive relative rotation between the basket and the rotating disk and the ring hoop can be avoided, thereby improving centrifugal efficiency on the one hand and reducing relative friction between the basket and the rotating disk and the ring hoop on the other.

[0016] In one possible implementation, a retaining ring is provided on the top of the basket. The retaining ring includes a ring body with a central opening and folded edges on the sides. The retaining ring is interference-fitted with the top of the basket. The central opening is smaller than the feeding port, which reduces the opening at the top of the basket and prevents the material placed in the basket from flying out of the basket during centrifugation. The interference fit between the retaining ring and the top of the basket allows for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the inner annular edge of the retaining ring is connected to a conical guide ring that extends into the basket. By setting a conical guide ring integrated with the retaining ring, the material inside the basket can be restricted to prevent it from moving upward along the vertical inner wall of the basket. On the other hand, when the material is taken out of the basket, the conical guide ring can guide it so that the material can be smoothly taken out from the central opening along the conical guide ring.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the rotating disc is provided with radial water guide strips, which create a gap between the basket and the rotating disc. This allows the bottom of the basket to also be dehydrated during the dehydration process, and the water that is thrown out will fall onto the rotating disc. The rotating disc will then throw the water out as it rotates.

[0019] In one possible implementation, an inspection port is provided on one side of the drive mechanism mounting slot, and a heat sink is installed at the inspection port. The heat sink has dustproof and heat dissipation vents, which can facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the internal circuit and dissipate heat from the internal drive mechanism.

[0020] In one possible implementation, a wire hole is provided on one side of the drive mechanism mounting slot, and a wire sleeve is installed at the wire hole. The wire sleeve connects the drive mechanism mounting slot to the outside, and the internal conductive wire can pass through the center of the wire sleeve to avoid friction between the conductive wire and the wire hole, which could cause the insulation to break.

[0021] In one possible implementation, a drive motor is installed in the drive mechanism mounting slot, and a first transmission wheel is installed on the output shaft of the drive motor. The rotation shaft of the rotating disk is rotatably connected to the bottom plate of the dewatering mechanism mounting slot through a sealed bearing. The rotation shaft of the rotating disk extends out of the dewatering mechanism mounting slot and is connected to a second transmission wheel. The first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel are connected by a transmission belt. When the drive motor is powered on, it can drive the first transmission wheel to rotate. The rotation of the first transmission wheel can drive the second transmission wheel to rotate through the transmission belt. The rotation of the second transmission wheel can drive the rotating disk to rotate. The rotation of the rotating disk can drive the upper basket to rotate synchronously, thereby centrifugally dewatering the material in the basket.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the machine body is provided with multiple support legs to maintain the stability of the device.

[0023] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit the present invention.

[0024] In this utility model, one side of the cover can rotate around the top of the dewatering mechanism mounting groove. By manually operating the handle, the cover can be opened or closed. When the cover is closed, it can prevent materials, water stains or baskets from falling out during the centrifugal operation inside.

[0025] When dehydrating materials placed directly in the basket, the lid needs to be opened. At this time, there is no need to leave a feeding port on the lid. To prevent materials and water from splashing out of the feeding port, a baffle can be used to block the feeding port.

[0026] The baffle is made of transparent acrylic sheet, which not only prevents materials and water stains from splashing out of the feeding port, but also allows for a direct view of the internal dehydration process.

[0027] The basket can be easily placed on the rotating plate. When the rotating plate rotates, it can drive the basket to rotate in sync. The stability of the basket can be improved by setting ring hoops. The basket is detachable, which facilitates material loading and unloading and cleaning of the drain hole.

[0028] By setting up a toggle block and a toggle plate, excessive relative rotation between the basket and the rotating disk and ring can be avoided, which improves centrifugation efficiency on the one hand and reduces relative friction between the basket and the rotating disk and ring on the other.

[0029] The top of the basket is equipped with a retaining ring to reduce the opening at the top of the basket and prevent the material placed in the basket from flying out of the basket during centrifugation. The retaining ring is interference-fitted with the top of the basket, so that it can be easily disassembled and assembled.

[0030] By setting a conical guide ring integrated with the retaining ring, the material inside the basket can be restricted to prevent it from moving upward along the vertical inner wall of the basket. On the other hand, when taking out the material from the basket, the conical guide ring can guide the material to be smoothly taken out from the central opening along the conical guide ring.

Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0044] Example 1: A dehydration tank includes a body 4, and the body 4 is provided with a dehydration mechanism mounting groove 5 and a drive mechanism mounting groove 9.

[0045] The dehydration mechanism mounting groove 5 is a cylindrical space with an opening at the top and a cover 1 that can be opened and closed. A dehydration mechanism is installed at the bottom of the dehydration mechanism mounting groove 5.

[0046] The dehydration mechanism includes a rotating disk 13, with a ring 15 fixed on the upper part of the rotating disk 13. A basket 20 is provided inside the ring 15. The circular side wall and bottom wall of the basket 20 are provided with leakage holes. The bottom of the basket 20 is pressed against the rotating disk 13.

[0047] The bottom of the rotating disk 13 is connected to a rotating shaft 12. The rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate of the dehydration mechanism mounting groove 5 through a bearing seat. A rectangular mounting space communicating with the drive mechanism mounting groove 9 is provided below the bottom plate of the dehydration mechanism mounting groove 5. The rotating shaft 12 passes through the rectangular mounting space and is fixedly connected to the second transmission wheel.

[0048] The drive mechanism mounting slot 9 is a rectangular mounting space. The drive mechanism mounting slot 9 is connected to the rectangular mounting space. A horizontal mounting plate is also provided in the drive mechanism mounting slot 9. The drive mechanism mounting slot 9 is separated from the dehydration mechanism mounting slot 5 by a vertical plate. The drive motor 10 is mounted on the horizontal mounting plate and the vertical plate. The output shaft of the drive motor 10 passes through the horizontal mounting plate and is fixedly connected to the first transmission wheel. The first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel are connected by a transmission belt 11.

[0049] Specifically, the first and second transmission wheels can be synchronous pulleys or belt pulleys, and the transmission belt 11 can be a synchronous belt or a belt. In this embodiment, the first and second transmission wheels are belt pulleys, and the transmission belt 11 is a belt.

[0050] The drive mechanism mounting slot 9 has an inspection port on one side, and a dustproof heat dissipation vent 8 is provided at the inspection port.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, a rectangular opening is provided on the right side of the drive mechanism mounting slot 9 as an inspection port. A rectangular sealing plate is installed at the inspection port by bolts. Multiple heat dissipation vents are provided on the rectangular sealing plate, with the vents facing downwards. This ensures air permeability while preventing dust from entering directly, thus playing a role in dust prevention and heat dissipation.

[0052] A drain outlet is provided on one side of the machine body 4, which is connected to a cylindrical space. When the drive motor 10 is powered on, it can drive the second drive wheel to rotate through the first drive wheel. The second drive wheel can drive the rotating disk 13 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating disk 13 can drive the basket 20 to rotate synchronously. The synchronous rotation of the basket 20 can centrifuge and dehydrate the material in the basket 20.

[0053] Furthermore, a wire sleeve 7 is provided on one side of the body 4 for the input and output of the power supply line of the internal drive motor 10.

[0054] Furthermore, the bottom of the rotating disc 13 is provided with radial water guide strips 14, which leaves space between the bottom of the basket 20 and the rotating disc 13, so that water can also be discharged from the bottom of the basket 20 during the dehydration process.

[0055] Furthermore, a ring hoop 15 is fixed to the upper part of the rotating disk 13, and multiple actuating blocks 16 are provided on the top of the ring hoop 15. Multiple actuating plates 21 are provided on the outer side of the basket 20. The actuating plates 21 are located between the actuating blocks 16. During the rotation of the rotating disk 13, the ring hoop 15 will rotate, and the rotation of the ring hoop 15 will drive the actuating blocks 16 to rotate. When the actuating blocks 16 rotate, they act on the actuating plates 21, thereby driving the actuating plates 21 to rotate. Since the actuating plates 21 and the basket 20 are an integral structure, they can drive the basket 20 to rotate synchronously. By setting the actuating blocks 16 and actuating plates 21, excessive relative rotation between the basket 20 and the rotating disk 13 and the ring hoop 15 can be avoided. On the one hand, the centrifugal efficiency is improved, and on the other hand, the relative friction between the basket 20 and the rotating disk 13 and the ring hoop 15 is reduced.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the top of the rotating disk 13 is provided with multiple threaded holes, and multiple connecting rods are connected to the threaded holes by threads. The top of the connecting rod is provided with a limit joint, and the ring 15 is provided with multiple through holes. The top of the connecting rod passes through the through holes. The limit joint is set as a disc, and the size of the disc is larger than the size of the through hole. Therefore, the lower side of the ring 15 is abutted by the disc. The top of the connecting rod is provided with a threaded connector, and the threaded connector is connected to the actuating block 16 by threads.

[0057] Specifically, the actuating block 16 is a locking nut with an arc-shaped top. The locking nut is fixedly connected to the threaded connector at the top of the connecting rod through threads, thereby fixing the ring 15 to the connecting rod, and the locking nut also acts as a actuating block.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the actuating plate 21 is a vertically arranged plate that is integrally formed with the basket 20. When the basket 20 is pressed on the rotating disk 13, the actuating plate 21 is located above the ring 15, and the distance between the actuating plate 21 and the ring 15 is less than the height of the locking nut. Therefore, when the locking nut contacts the actuating plate 21, it can push the actuating plate 21, thereby causing the basket 20 to rotate together, thus preventing the basket 20 from rotating relative to the rotating disk 13.

[0059] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the body 4, multiple support legs 6 are provided at the bottom of the body 4.

[0060] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that a feeding port 3 is provided in the middle of the cover 1; the feeding port 3 can be set as a polygon or a circle, and its size needs to be slightly smaller than the top opening of the basket 20, so that the material can be conveniently put into the basket 20, and at the same time the basket 20 can be limited to prevent the basket 20 from being thrown out of the dewatering mechanism mounting groove 5 during rotation.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cover 1 is located at the top of the dehydration mechanism mounting groove 5. The inner side of the cover 1 is rotatably connected to the machine body 4 through a hinge or other rotating components. A handle 2 is provided on the outer side of the cover 1. By manually pushing the cover 1, the cover 1 can be rotated around the rotation axis 12 of the hinge, thereby opening or closing the cover 1. A round hole is provided in the middle of the cover 1. The peppercorns in the gauze bag can be put into the basket 20 in the dehydration mechanism mounting groove 5 through the round hole in the middle for dehydration.

[0062] Furthermore, by providing a slot 18 around the feeding port 3 of the cover 1, a baffle 17 can be inserted into the slot 18, thereby conveniently sealing the feeding port 3 to facilitate application in various scenarios.

[0063] On the one hand, it can be applied to situations where the basket 20 needs to be taken out and put in directly during loading and unloading. On the other hand, it can be applied to situations where, after the peppercorns are put into a gauze bag, only the gauze bag needs to be taken out or put in during loading and unloading, without needing to take out or put in the basket 20.

[0064] Furthermore, baffle 17 is made of acrylic sheet, which can block the feeding port 3 on the one hand, and the transparent acrylic sheet will not obstruct the view on the other hand, allowing real-time observation of the internal dehydration during operation.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, a U-shaped slot 18 with an opening on the left side is provided at the feeding port 3. It is formed by a vertical plate and a horizontal plate of the U-shape. The horizontal plate of the U-shape and the cover 1 are spaced apart by a distance of the same thickness as the acrylic sheet. When the acrylic sheet is inserted into the U-shaped slot 18 from the left side, the vertical plate of the U-shape can limit the acrylic sheet and prevent it from moving to the right, forward and backward. The horizontal plate of the U-shape and the cover 1 can prevent the acrylic sheet from moving up and down.

[0066] Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that a retaining ring 19 is provided on the top of the basket 20. The retaining ring 19 includes a ring body with a central opening and a folded edge on the side. The retaining ring 19 is interference-fitted with the top of the basket 20, and the central opening is smaller than the feeding port 3.

[0067] When dehydrating materials packed in gauze bags, placing the gauze bags in basket 20 can prevent the gauze bags from falling out of basket 20.

[0068] Furthermore, the inner annular edge of the retaining ring 19 is connected to a conical guide ring 22 that extends into the basket 20. This not only limits the position of the gauze bag inside the basket 20, but also makes it easier to remove the gauze bag from the basket 20 after dehydration, allowing the gauze bag to be removed along the conical guide ring 22.

[0069] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
