Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable drying technology, specifically to a vegetable drying device. Background Technology

[0002] In some kimchi processing techniques, washed vegetables are dried to facilitate better absorption of salt and seasonings during the pickling process. Existing drying devices include a drying chamber with a feed inlet connected to the upper left side. Inside the drying chamber, on the left side, is a receiving and cutting plate. The receiving and cutting plate is movably connected to a pin fixed to the inner wall of the drying chamber. The receiving and cutting plate is located below the feed inlet. Above the receiving and cutting plate is a knife holder, with multiple horizontal blades fixedly connected to the lower end of the knife holder. Between each pair of adjacent horizontal blades are vertical blades fixedly connected to the lower end of the knife holder. Below the receiving and cutting plate is a T-shaped support frame. Horizontal and vertical heating resistors provide heating, and a fan is activated. The heat flow inside the drying chamber facilitates dehydration and drying of the vegetables inside the drive cylinder. The drive motor is also activated, causing the drive cylinder to rotate, facilitating the turning of the vegetables inside and ensuring even dehydration and drying, thus enhancing the performance of the vegetable dehydration and drying device.

[0003] Existing drying equipment has the following problems: it is difficult to dry both sides of vegetables evenly, resulting in poor drying effect.

[0004] Based on the above situation, there is an urgent need for a vegetable drying device to solve the problem of poor drying effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing drying devices are unable to dry vegetables evenly on both sides, resulting in poor drying effects.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A vegetable drying device, comprising:

[0008] A base on which a clamping assembly for storing vegetables is installed;

[0009] A lifting mechanism is installed on the base, and the lifting mechanism is rotatably connected to the clamping assembly;

[0010] A flipping mechanism, mounted on a lifting mechanism, is used to flip the clamping assembly;

[0011] A drying mechanism is disposed within a base, and the drying mechanism includes a hot air blower and a flow distribution component connected to the hot air blower.

[0012] Existing drying devices struggle to evenly dry both sides of vegetables, resulting in poor drying performance. In this solution, washed vegetables are placed into the clamping assembly. A hot air blower heats the air, which is then evenly distributed to the clamping assembly by a separation component, drying the vegetables within. During the drying process, a lifting mechanism raises the clamping assembly, while a flipping mechanism flips it over. After flipping, the lifting mechanism lowers the clamping assembly and brings it closer to the diversion component, facilitating drying of the other side of the vegetables. This method achieves even drying of both sides of the vegetables, improving the overall drying effect and solving the problem of poor drying performance.

[0013] Furthermore, this solution is not limited to the specific mechanism of the clamping assembly. One feasible solution is that the clamping assembly includes a frame and a fixed net mounted on the frame. A rotating shaft connected to the lifting mechanism is formed on the frame, and a movable net is rotatably connected to the frame. When this solution is adopted, the vegetables can be placed into the frame by opening the movable net, and hot air can pass through the fixed net or the movable net and come into contact with the vegetables to dry them.

[0014] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the lifting mechanism. One feasible solution is that the lifting mechanism includes a lifting rod and a bearing connected to the lifting rod. The rotating shaft is mounted on the bearing. When this solution is adopted, the lifting rod drives the bearing and the clamping assembly to lift synchronously.

[0015] Furthermore, this solution is not limited to the specific structure of the flipping mechanism. One feasible solution is that the flipping mechanism includes a worm wheel mounted on a rotating shaft, and the worm wheel is connected to a worm driven by a motor. When this solution is adopted, the motor drives the worm and the worm wheel to rotate in sequence, thereby driving the clamping assembly to rotate. Since the worm wheel and worm gear transmission has self-locking properties, the clamping assembly can be kept fixed.

[0016] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the diversion component. One feasible solution is that the diversion component includes several diversion pipes arranged at intervals and several air outlets are formed on the diversion pipes. When this solution is adopted, hot air is evenly delivered to the clamping component through the air outlets on the diversion pipes to improve the drying effect.

[0017] Furthermore, to prevent the hot air blower from drawing in dust and other impurities, one feasible solution is to install a filter screen at the air inlet of the hot air blower. When this solution is adopted, the filter screen filters out dust and other impurities in the air, making the hot air generated by the hot air blower purer.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. The washed vegetables are placed into the clamping assembly. The hot air is heated by the hot air blower and evenly delivered to the clamping assembly by the separation assembly to dry the vegetables inside the clamping assembly. During the drying process, the lifting mechanism drives the clamping assembly to rise, and at the same time, the flipping mechanism drives the clamping assembly to flip over. After flipping, the lifting mechanism drives the clamping assembly to fall down and approach the diversion assembly to facilitate drying the other side of the vegetables. This allows for even drying of both sides of the vegetables, improving the overall drying effect and solving the problem of poor drying effect.

[0020] 2. Since the clamping assembly includes a frame and a fixed net mounted on the frame, a rotating shaft is formed on the frame and rotatably connected to the lifting mechanism, and a movable net is rotatably connected to the frame, by opening the movable net to put vegetables into the frame, hot air can pass through the fixed net or the movable net and come into contact with the vegetables, so as to dry the vegetables.

[0021] Third, since the flipping mechanism includes a worm wheel mounted on a rotating shaft, and the worm wheel is connected to a worm driven by a motor, the motor drives the worm and the worm wheel to rotate in sequence, thereby driving the clamping assembly to rotate. Since the worm wheel and worm gear transmission has self-locking properties, the clamping assembly can be kept fixed. Attached Figure Description

[0035] It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the term "comprising" or any other variations thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0036] The features and performance of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0037] Example:

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 A vegetable drying device, comprising:

[0039] Base 1, on which a clamping component 2 for storing vegetables is installed;

[0040] The lifting mechanism 3 is mounted on the base 1 and is rotatably connected to the clamping assembly 2.

[0041] The flipping mechanism 4 is mounted on the lifting mechanism 3 and is used to flip the clamping assembly 2;

[0042] The drying mechanism 5 is disposed in the base 1. The drying mechanism 5 includes a hot air blower 51 and a diversion component 52 connected to the hot air blower 51.

[0043] Existing drying devices struggle to dry both sides of vegetables evenly, resulting in poor drying performance. In this solution, washed vegetables are placed in clamping assembly 2. A hot air blower 51 heats the air, which is then evenly distributed to clamping assembly 2 by a separation component, thus drying the vegetables inside. During the drying process, lifting mechanism 3 raises clamping assembly 2, while flipping mechanism 4 flips it over. After flipping, lifting mechanism 3 lowers clamping assembly 2 and brings it closer to diverting component 52 to dry the other side of the vegetables. This allows for even drying of both sides of the vegetables, improving the overall drying effect and solving the problem of poor drying performance.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 This solution does not limit the specific mechanism of the clamping component 2. One feasible solution is that the clamping component 2 includes a frame 21 and a fixed net 22 installed on the frame 21. A rotating shaft 23 is formed on the frame 21 and is rotatably connected to the lifting mechanism 3. A movable net 24 is rotatably connected to the frame 21. When this solution is adopted, the vegetables can be placed into the frame by opening the movable net 24. Hot air can pass through the fixed net 22 or the movable net 24 and come into contact with the vegetables to dry them.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 Optionally, in order to fix the movable net 24 to the frame 21, in this embodiment, a limiting hole 25 is formed on the movable net 24, and a wing bolt 26 that cooperates with the limiting hole 25 is installed on the frame 21. When this solution is adopted, after the movable net 24 is closed, the wing bolt 26 is rotated and inserted into the limiting hole 25, thereby fixing the movable net 24 to the frame 21.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 This solution does not limit the specific structure of the lifting mechanism 3. One feasible solution is that the lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting rod 31 and a bearing 32 connected to the lifting rod 31. The rotating shaft 23 is installed on the bearing 32. When this solution is adopted, the lifting rod 31 drives the bearing 32 to lift and lower synchronously with the clamping assembly 2.

[0047] This solution does not limit the specific structure of the flipping mechanism 4. One feasible solution is that the flipping mechanism 4 includes a worm gear 41 mounted on the rotating shaft 23. The worm gear 41 is connected to a worm 43 driven by a motor 42. When this solution is adopted, the motor 42 drives the worm 43 and the worm gear 41 to rotate in sequence, thereby driving the clamping assembly 2 to rotate. Since the worm gear transmission has self-locking properties, the clamping assembly 2 can be kept fixed.

[0048] This solution does not limit the specific structure of the diversion component 52. One feasible solution is that the diversion component 52 includes a number of diversion pipes 521 arranged at intervals and a number of air outlets 522 formed on the diversion pipes 521. When this solution is adopted, hot air is evenly delivered to the clamping component 2 through the air outlets 522 on the diversion pipes 521 to improve the drying effect.

[0049] Reference Figure 3 To prevent the hot air blower 51 from sucking in dust and other impurities, one feasible solution is to install a filter 53 at the air inlet of the hot air blower 51. When this solution is adopted, the filter 53 filters out dust and other impurities in the air, making the hot air generated by the hot air blower 51 purer.

[0050] To address the issue of poor drying performance, this solution involves placing washed vegetables into the clamping assembly 2. A hot air blower 51 heats the air, which is then evenly distributed to the clamping assembly 2 by a separation component. This process dries the vegetables within the clamping assembly 2. During drying, a lifting mechanism 3 raises the clamping assembly 2, while a flipping mechanism 4 flips the assembly 2. After flipping, the lifting mechanism 3 lowers the clamping assembly 2 and brings it closer to the diversion component 52, facilitating the drying of the other side of the vegetables. This even drying of both sides improves the overall drying effect and resolves the problem of poor drying performance.

[0051] To facilitate the drying of vegetables, in this solution, the clamping assembly 2 includes a frame 21 and a fixed net 22 installed on the frame 21. A rotating shaft 23 is formed on the frame 21 and is rotatably connected to the lifting mechanism 3. A movable net 24 is rotatably connected to the frame 21. By opening the movable net 24, vegetables can be placed into the frame. Hot air can pass through the fixed net 22 or the movable net 24 and come into contact with the vegetables to facilitate drying.

[0052] In order to fix the clamping assembly 2, in this solution, the flipping mechanism 4 includes a worm wheel 41 mounted on the rotating shaft 23. The worm wheel 41 is connected to a worm 43 driven by a motor 42. The motor 42 drives the worm 43 and the worm wheel 41 to rotate in sequence, thereby driving the clamping assembly 2 to rotate. Since the worm wheel and worm gear transmission has self-locking properties, the clamping assembly 2 can be kept fixed.
