Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a material dispensing device for a rice puff food dryer. Background Technology

[0002] Food dryers play a crucial role in the processing of rice puffs. Through efficient dehydration and temperature control systems, they ensure both the quality and production efficiency of the rice puffs. Even after puffing, the rice still contains some moisture. To maintain its crisp texture, this moisture must be removed by a dryer. The dryer controls temperature and airflow to quickly remove moisture, ensuring the rice puffs remain crisp and preventing them from becoming soft due to dampness. The quality of rice puffs is closely related to their moisture content. Excessive moisture results in a soggy texture, negatively impacting the consumer experience. Food dryers precisely control drying temperature and humidity, ensuring the rice puffs are crisp on the outside and crunchy on the inside, achieving optimal taste and texture. The dryer's uniform hot air circulation system ensures that each grain of rice is evenly heated and dried. This avoids the uneven drying problems often found in traditional methods, guaranteeing the consistency and quality of the rice puffs.

[0003] However, the following problems are frequently encountered in the use of existing equipment:

[0004] Before entering the dryer, rice puffs and rice strips tend to accumulate at the conveyor end of the dryer. This accumulation can result in some rice puffs not being completely dried, affecting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a material dispersing device for a rice puff food dryer, which effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background art where rice puffs and rice strips accumulate before entering the dryer and are conveyed to the conveyor end of the dryer. This accumulation leads to some rice puffs not being completely dried, affecting product quality. The material dispersing device designed in this invention uses the reciprocating sliding of a fixed frame to continuously push and disperse the rice puffs and rice strips, avoiding this accumulation phenomenon and ensuring uniformity during the drying process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

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.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a material dispersing device for a rice puff food dryer. The material dispersing device for the rice puff food dryer includes a dryer 1, a drive motor 2, a drive wheel 3, a slope support 4, a driven wheel 5, a transmission belt 6, a rotating shaft 7, a centrifugal wheel 8, an eccentric pin 9, a sliding connecting rod 10, and a fixed frame 11.

[0038] Drive motor 2 is mounted on one side of the feed end of dryer 1. Drive motor 2 provides power, and the drive wheel 3 drives the entire transmission system by rotating. This design ensures stable driving force for the mechanical movement of the equipment, guaranteeing the machine's operating efficiency. Mounting drive motor 2 on one side of the feed end of dryer 1 facilitates power transmission to various transmission parts, ensuring smooth operation of driven wheel 5 and other components. The output end of drive motor 2 is rotatably connected to drive wheel 3. Inclined bracket 4 is fixedly mounted on the feed end of dryer 1; inclined bracket 4 provides structural support and features an angle design to help fix and adjust the position of other moving parts, ensuring the stability of the entire system.

[0039] In this invention, the driven pulley 5 is located above the driving pulley 3; the driven pulley 5 receives power from the driving pulley 3 and further transmits it to other mechanical components, maintaining the continuity and stability of the transmission system. The two ends of the transmission belt 6 are respectively sleeved on the driving pulley 3 and the driven pulley 5; the transmission belt 6, as the main component connecting the driving pulley 3 and the driven pulley 5, has the function of efficiently transmitting power.

[0040] In this invention, the rotating shaft 7 is laterally movably mounted on the slope bracket 4, and the driven wheel 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 7. The movable design of the rotating shaft 7 is to realize the rotation of the eccentric wheel, thereby pushing the sliding connecting rod 10 to move, and driving the fixed frame 11 to reciprocate. Its design requires sufficient flexibility so that the system can smoothly perform reciprocating motion.

[0041] In this invention, a centrifugal wheel 8 is coaxially connected to the end of the rotating shaft 7 furthest from the driven wheel 5; the eccentric distance between the eccentric pin 9 of the centrifugal wheel 8 and the wheel center is 1 / 4 of the radius of the centrifugal wheel 8; the design of the centrifugal wheel 8 and the eccentric pin 9 enables the system to generate centrifugal force, driving the sliding connecting rod 10 to move. The design of the eccentric pin 9 allows control of the circumferential motion of the sliding connecting rod 10, thereby ensuring the reciprocating sliding of the fixed frame 11.

[0042] In this invention, an eccentric pin 9 is eccentrically positioned on the surface of the centrifugal wheel 8; the eccentric distance of the eccentric pin 9 is 1 / 4 of the radius of the centrifugal wheel 8. This arrangement ensures that the operation of the centrifugal wheel 8 drives the eccentric pin 9 to generate appropriate force, thereby precisely controlling the movement amplitude of the sliding connecting rod 10 and ensuring that the screen 13 can effectively sieve and divert the rice. One end of the sliding connecting rod 10 is movably connected to the eccentric pin 9; through its connection with the eccentric pin 9, the sliding connecting rod 10 can convert the eccentric rotational motion into linear reciprocating motion, thereby driving the fixed frame 11 to slide on the slope support 4. The fixed frame 11 then drives the screen 13 to perform the corresponding sieve action, and the side wall of the fixed frame 11 is hinged to the other end of the sliding connecting rod 10. The fixed frame 11 is a stainless steel frame structure with transverse reinforcing ribs on its inner side.

[0043] In this invention, a screen 13 is embedded in the fixed frame 11. The bottom surface of the fixed frame 11 is slidably connected to the surface of the slope support 4 via sliding wheels 12. The screen 13 divides the fixed frame 11 into upper and lower spaces. The screen 13 sieves and disperses rice puffs and rice strips as the fixed frame 11 slides back and forth. The aperture of the screen 13 is 1-3 cm, which effectively separates the size differences between rice puffs and rice strips, ensuring that the rice puffs flow into the lower layer through the screen 13, while larger rice strips are guided to different transport compartments. The screen 13 is evenly distributed in an array. The discharge end of the screen 13 is directly above one of the feed compartments of the dryer 1, and the discharge end of the bottom surface of the fixed frame 11 is directly above another feed compartment of the dryer 1. The surface of the screen 13 is coated with an anti-stick coating.

[0044] In this invention, the sliding wheels 12 are disposed on the bottom surface of the fixed frame 11, and the sliding wheels 12 are four sets of symmetrically distributed roller structures. This design helps to balance the transmission of forces, ensures the stable movement of the fixed frame 11, and avoids tilting or uneven sliding. The top surface of the slope bracket 4 is provided with a guide rail 14 that matches the sliding wheels 12, and the inner wall of the guide rail 14 is embedded with anti-friction pads. The presence of the pads can reduce the friction between the fixed frame 11 and the guide rail 14, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the entire system and extending the service life of the equipment. The design of the sliding wheels 12 and the guide rail 14 ensures that the fixed frame 11 can slide smoothly and steadily on the slope bracket 4, reducing wear and extending the service life of the equipment. At the same time, by reducing friction, the overall efficiency of the equipment is optimized.

[0045] It should be noted that the feeding device of the rice puff food dryer 1 designed in this utility model is used by aligning the end of the upstream conveyor with the filter screen 13 at the feed end of the dryer 1, starting the drive motor 2, and the output end of the motor rotates to drive the drive wheel 3, which in turn drives the transmission belt 6, which in turn drives the driven wheel 5, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 7 connected to its axis, which in turn drives the centrifugal wheel 8 at the other end, which in turn drives the eccentric pin 9 on the wheel surface, which in turn drives the sliding connecting rod 10 connected to it, and the end of the sliding connecting rod 10 connected to the eccentric pin 9 rotates in a circular motion. The other end of the connecting rod 10 will repeatedly push the fixed frame 11 to slide. The fixed frame 11 will drive the screen 13, which is locked in the fixed frame 11, to slide back and forth. During the back and forth sliding process, the sliding wheel 12 at the connection between the bottom surface of the fixed frame 11 and the lower slope support 4 will provide the conditions for the back and forth sliding of the screen 13. Once the transported rice puffs and rice strips arrive at the surface of the sliding screen 13, the smaller rice puffs will pass through the holes of the screen 13 to the lower layer of the fixed frame 11. The rice puffs and rice strips will be dispersed by the back and forth sliding of the fixed frame 11 until they fall into different transport compartments at the feed end of the dryer 1, so as to avoid serious accumulation and uneven drying.

[0046] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
