Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drying devices, specifically a manual noodle drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Dried noodles are typically made from refined flour without the addition of preservatives or other additives during production, thus effectively preserving their nutritional components. The reason dried noodles can be stored for a long time is because they undergo a drying and dehydration process during processing, significantly reducing their moisture content and extending their shelf life.

[0003] In the current noodle production industry, mechanical roller pressing has become the mainstream production method. However, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, consumers' pursuit of food quality and unique flavor is increasing. Handmade noodles, with their unique taste and traditional craftsmanship, are seeing a gradual recovery in market demand, leading to a resurgence in their production. In the handmade noodle production process, the drying and dehydration stage is becoming increasingly important. Traditional drying methods typically involve hanging strips of noodles directly on fixed drying racks for natural drying. However, this method has significant drawbacks. During the drying process, the air circulation and light intensity on either side of the same noodle on the drying rack differ, often resulting in uneven drying on both sides. This affects the overall quality and taste of the noodles, making it difficult to meet the market demand for high-quality handmade noodles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hand-drying device for noodles to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a hand-drying noodle device, comprising: a mounting frame, a rotary motor fixedly mounted inside the mounting frame, and a sun gear, the output end of the rotary motor being fixedly connected to a first connecting rod, the other end of the first connecting rod being fixedly connected to the sun gear, the sun gear being meshed with three planetary gears, each planetary gear being meshed with a gear ring, the upper surface of the gear ring being fixedly connected to the mounting frame via a connecting plate, the rotation of the planetary gears being achieved by driving the rotary motor, and a rotating noodle drying mechanism being fixedly installed below each planetary gear, the rotation of the noodles being achieved by the rotating noodle drying mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the rotating drying mechanism includes a second connecting rod and a driven rod. One end of the second connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the planetary gear, and the other end of the second connecting rod is fixedly connected to one end of three driven rods. The three driven rods are installed at equal intervals, and the other end of each driven rod is fixedly connected to a first drying rod. The lower end of the first drying rod is fixedly connected to one end of a second driven rod.

The end of the threaded rod away from the second driven rod is fixedly connected to a base block, and the base block is fixedly connected to the second drying rod.

[0007] Preferably, a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sun gear, the other end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the center of the chassis, and one end of a third connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side of the chassis. There are two third connecting rods, and the other end of the third connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the gear ring.

[0008] Preferably, each planetary gear is circularly connected to a connecting frame, which is triangular in shape. The three vertices of the connecting frame are slidably mounted on the inner surface of the gear ring. The gear ring has a two-layer structure, with a rack in the middle layer and a groove corresponding to the connecting frame above the rack.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a rotatable planetary gear mechanism to rotate the noodles. During the drying process, all parts of the rotating noodles can be in contact with air and light more evenly, so that the parts on both sides of the drying mechanism can be fully dried, which improves the drying rate of the noodles. Moreover, there are gaps between the drying rods in the rotating drying mechanism of this device, which can ensure air circulation.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0017] like Figure 1-3 As shown, to improve the uniformity of drying handmade noodles, a handmade noodle drying device is proposed, including: a mounting frame 1, a rotary motor 2 fixedly installed inside the mounting frame 1, the output end of the rotary motor 2 being fixedly connected to one end of a first connecting rod 201, the other end of the first connecting rod 201 being fixedly connected to a sun gear 202, the sun gear 202 being meshed with three planetary gears 203, each planetary gear 203 being meshed with a gear ring 204, the upper surface of the gear ring 204 being fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1 through a connecting plate 101, the rotation of the first connecting rod 201 is achieved by driving the rotary motor 2, thereby achieving the rotation of the relevant sun gear 202 and the planetary gears 203 meshing with it, a rotating noodle drying mechanism is fixedly installed below each planetary gear 203, the rotation of the noodles is achieved by the rotating noodle drying mechanism, both sides of the noodles can rotate at a uniform speed to ensure the uniformity of drying.

[0018] Each planetary gear 203 is rotatably connected to a connecting frame 205 at its center. The connecting frame 205 is triangular in shape, and its three vertices are slidably mounted on the inner surface of the gear ring 204. The gear ring 204 has a two-layer structure. The lower layer is provided with a rack, and the upper layer inside the gear ring 204 is provided with a groove corresponding to the connecting frame 205. The connecting frame 205 is slidably mounted in the groove, and its position relative to the gear ring 204 will move as the planetary gears 203 revolve.

[0019] The lower surface of the sun gear 202 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 4. The other end of the rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected to the center of the chassis 5. The chassis 5 can be placed on the ground. One end of the third connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the chassis 5. There are two third connecting rods 6. The other end of the third connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the gear ring 204.

[0020] When the rotary motor 2 is working, it drives the first connecting rod 201 to rotate. The first connecting rod 201 drives the sun gear 202 to rotate. The sun gear 202 is the kinetic energy input component for the three planetary gears 203. Since the sun gear 202 is meshed with the planetary gears 203, the rotation of the sun gear 202 will drive the planetary gears 203 to rotate. Since the gear ring 204 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1, the gear ring 204 will not rotate. Therefore, the planetary gears 203 will rotate on their own axis while revolving around the sun gear 202. The planetary gears 203 drive the rotating drying mechanism below them to rotate, and the noodles hanging on the rotating drying mechanism will also rotate. Furthermore, since there are certain gaps between each first drying rod 303 and each second drying rod 307, natural wind will pass through the gaps to dry the noodles on the first drying rod 303 and the second drying rod 307, thereby increasing the drying rate of the noodles.

[0021] The rotary motor 2 uses an existing motor model. The rotation speed of the rotary motor 2 is moderate to prevent the noodles on each of the rotating drying mechanisms under the three planetary gears 203 from sticking together when they rotate.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotating drying mechanism includes a second connecting rod 301 and a driven rod 302. One end of the second connecting rod 301 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the planetary gear 203. The other end of the second connecting rod 301 is fixedly connected to one end of three driven rods 302. The three driven rods 302 are arranged in a circular array around the second connecting rod 301, that is, the three driven rods 302 are distributed at equal angular intervals around the second connecting rod 301. The other end of each driven rod 302 is fixedly connected to a first drying rod 303. The lower end of the first drying rod 303 is fixedly connected to one end of a second driven rod 304. The other end of the second driven rod 304 is provided with a screw hole. The screw hole is internally threaded to a threaded rod 305. The end of the threaded rod 305 away from the second driven rod 304 is fixedly connected to a base block 306. The base block 306 is fixedly connected to a second drying rod 307. The upper surfaces of the first drying rod 303 and the second drying rod 307 are provided with grooves to prevent the noodles from moving when rotating. The ends of the first drying rod 303 and the second drying rod 307 are respectively fixed with limit blocks to prevent the noodles from slipping.

[0023] As the planetary gear 203 revolves and rotates, it drives the second connecting rod 301 to rotate. The second connecting rod 301 drives the driven rod 302 to rotate as well. The first drying rod 303 will rotate along with the driven rod 302. Since the length of the first drying rod 303 is constant, the first drying rods 303 on each driven rod 302 will not interfere with each other. The first drying rod 303 is long and narrow, and the noodles can be hung on it manually. The height of the first drying rod 303 is higher than the height of the second drying rod 307, so the first drying rod 303 can hang longer noodles.

[0024] While the first drying rod 303 is rotating, the second driven rod 304 will drive the threaded rod 305 and the bottom block 306 to rotate, which in turn drives the second drying rod 307 to rotate. The second drying rod 307 can hang shorter noodles.

[0025] If the thickness of the dried noodles hanging on the first drying rod 303 and the second drying rod 307 changes or the rotation speed increases, the dried noodles on the first drying rod 303 and the second drying rod 307 may stick together. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the lateral distance between the first drying rod 303 and the second drying rod 307. This is done by manually turning the threaded rod 305 so that the threaded rod 305 gradually extends out of the threaded hole on the second driven rod 304. The threaded rod 305 drives the bottom block 306 and the second drying rod 307 to move. The second drying rod 307 gradually moves away from the second driven rod 304, thereby adjusting the lateral distance between the first drying rod 303 and the second drying rod 307.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] First, by manually turning the threaded rod 305, it gradually extends out of the threaded hole on the second driven rod 304. The threaded rod 305 drives the base block 306 and the second drying rod 307 to move, thereby adjusting the lateral distance between the first drying rod 303 and the second drying rod 307. Then, the noodles are hung on the first drying rod 303 and the second drying rod 307.

[0028] When the rotary motor 2 is turned on, it drives the first connecting rod 201 to rotate. The first connecting rod 201 drives the sun gear 202 to rotate. While the sun gear 202 is rotating, it drives the planet gear 203 to rotate. The planet gear 203 rotates on its own axis while revolving around the sun gear 202. The planet gear 203 drives the rotating drying mechanism below it to rotate on its own axis and revolve. The noodles hanging on the rotating drying mechanism will also rotate with the rotating drying mechanism.

[0029] The rotation of the first drying rod 303 and the second drying rod 307 will cause the noodles on them to rotate, and the parts of the noodles on both sides of the drying rod will be dried evenly. Since there are certain gaps between each first drying rod 303 and each second drying rod 307, natural wind will pass through the gaps to dry the noodles on the first drying rod 303 and the second drying rod 307, thereby increasing the drying rate of the noodles.

[0030] 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 can 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.
