Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, and in particular to a low-oxygen drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During the production and processing of goji berries, low-oxygen drying equipment is typically used. A low-oxygen dryer is based on a traditional dryer but is made entirely sealed. When the goji berries are placed inside the dryer, the inlet is closed, then the vacuum pump is turned on to remove the internal air, and finally, an inert gas (nitrogen) is introduced. The inert properties of nitrogen prevent oxidation of the goji berries during the drying process.

[0003] When using existing low-oxygen drying equipment, the humidity in the drying environment for goji berries is too high, which slows down the evaporation of moisture from the surface of the goji berries and makes it difficult to remove the moisture generated during the drying process in time. This can easily cause the goji berries to darken in color. In addition, the single drying method can lead to localized high temperatures, resulting in uneven drying and affecting the drying effect and color. Utility Model Content

Since the entire drying process is completely sealed, six circulating fans are installed in the circulation system to initially cool the high-temperature and high-humidity gas.

When the left water trap is working, the right defrost unit defrosts, and when the right water trap is working, the left defrost unit defrosts. This alternating cycle achieves rapid dehumidification and effectively solves the problem of discoloration during the drying process of goji berries.

Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 :

[0028] This utility model proposes a low-oxygen drying device, including: a drying chamber 1, which has a rectangular cavity structure and is divided into two parts: a heating chamber 101 and a raw material chamber 102. A heating base 103 is provided at the bottom of the front side of the drying chamber 1, a closed door 104 is provided at the front end of the drying chamber 1, a water trapping chamber 105 is provided at the front end of the top of the drying chamber 1, and a pre-cooling chamber 106 is provided at the rear end of the top of the drying chamber 1.

[0029] A control box 2 is located on the right side of the drying chamber 1; two water catchers 3 are located inside the water trap 105, and the two water catchers 3 are distributed symmetrically; two sets of adjustment frames 4 are located inside the drying chamber 1, and the two adjustment frames 4 are distributed vertically in parallel; a material tray 5 is located on the adjustment frame 4; a servo motor 6 is located at the rear of the adjustment frame 4.

[0030] In this embodiment of the disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pre-cooling chamber 106 is equipped with six circulating fans 1061, which are arranged in a rectangular array. The pre-cooling chamber 106 has two connecting pipes 1062 at the rear, which are connected to the raw material chamber 102. The pre-cooling chamber 106 has a first connecting pipe 1063 at the front.

[0031] The water trap 3 has a second connecting pipe 301 at the rear and a communicating vessel 302 at the rear, which is connected to the second connecting pipe 301 and the first connecting pipe 1063. A defroster 303 is provided on one side of the water trap 3, and a third connecting pipe 304 is provided at the front of the water trap 3, which is connected to the defroster 303. A discharge pipe 305 is provided on one side of the defroster 303. Since the entire drying process is in a fully sealed state, in the circulation system, six circulating fans 1061 are set up to first cool down the high temperature and high humidity air, and then let the water vapor-containing gas pass through the water trap 3, which is divided into two low temperature water traps 3. When the left water trap 3 is working, the right defroster 303 defrosts, and when the right water trap 3 is working, the left defroster 303 defrosts. This alternating cycle achieves the purpose of rapid dehumidification and effectively solves the problem of discoloration during the drying process of wolfberries.

[0032] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the adjustment frame 4 includes a front fixed frame 401, a rear fixed frame 402, a limiting round rod 403, and a mounting plate 404. The front fixed frame 401 and the rear fixed frame 402 are distributed symmetrically in front and behind, and two limiting round rods 403 are provided between the front fixed frame 401 and the rear fixed frame 402. The two limiting round rods 403 are distributed in a parallel manner from left to right. The mounting plate 404 is provided in the middle of the rear fixed frame 402.

[0033] The bottom of the material tray 5 is provided with a limiting sleeve 501, and the limiting sleeves 501 are distributed in a rectangular array. The middle position of the bottom of the material tray 5 is provided with a fixing seat 502, and the fixing seat 502 is provided with a threaded sleeve 503.

[0034] The servo motor 6 is provided with a rotating shaft 601, and an adjusting screw 602 is provided in the middle section of the rotating shaft 601;

[0035] The servo motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 404, and the rotating shaft 601 is rotatably connected to the front fixed frame 401 and the rear fixed frame 402 respectively through bearings. The limiting sleeve 501 of the material tray 5 is slidably fitted on the limiting round rod 403, and the threaded sleeve 503 is slidably fitted on the adjusting screw 602 through threads. In this utility model, the servo motor 6 provides power to drive the rotating shaft 601 to rotate. By using the transmission cooperation of the adjusting screw 602 and the threaded sleeve 503, the material tray 5 can slide back and forth along the limiting round rod 403. By adjusting the position, the local temperature is avoided from being too high, and it is convenient to quickly push the heated goji berries to the cooling zone for cooling treatment.

[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, the entire drying process is in a fully sealed state. The drying chamber 1 is evacuated by a vacuum pump. In the circulation system, six circulating fans 1061 are set up to first cool down the high temperature and high humidity gas. Then, the gas containing water vapor passes through the water trap 3, which is divided into two low temperature water traps 3. When the left water trap 3 is working, the right defrost unit 303 defrosts. When the right water trap 3 is working, the left defrost unit 303 defrosts. This cycle alternates to achieve rapid dehumidification. After drying is completed, all heating systems are turned off, and the vacuum pump is turned on again to reduce the internal pressure, thereby allowing the goji berries to expand.

[0037] The above are merely specific embodiments of this disclosure, but the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of this disclosure should be determined by the scope of the claims.
