Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural technology, specifically a pepper dryer. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional methods of drying Sichuan peppercorns involve rinsing them beforehand and then sun-drying or air-drying them in a cool, shady place. This process is relatively time-consuming, generally taking 6-10 days. Furthermore, rainy weather during this period can easily lead to mold and other problems, resulting in losses. Nowadays, centrifuges are commonly used to dry the rinsed peppercorns. However, traditional centrifuges exhibit at least the following drawbacks in their use:
[0003] Existing spin dryers typically use the rotation of the spin dryer drum to generate centrifugal force on the damp peppercorns placed in the drum, thus removing the water from the surface of the peppercorns for drying. However, in actual use, when there are many peppercorns in the drum, they tend to accumulate in the same spot during the drying process, clogging the corresponding drying holes and hindering the natural drainage of the water, thus affecting the peppercorn drying process. Therefore, a peppercorn spin dryer was developed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a pepper dryer that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A peppercorn spin dryer includes a spin dryer frame. A fastening shaft is fixedly connected to one side of the spin dryer frame. A fastening cover is rotatably connected to the outer side of the fastening shaft. One side of the fastening cover is adapted to the corresponding side of the spin dryer frame. A spin dryer cylinder is rotatably connected between the fastening cover and the inner wall of the spin dryer frame. The surface of the spin dryer cylinder has multiple evenly distributed spin dryer holes. A feed side ring plate is fixedly connected to one side of the spin dryer cylinder. A sealing side plate is fixedly connected to the other side of the spin dryer cylinder. An internal rotating plate is rotatably connected to the sealing side plate facing the spin dryer cylinder. Multiple evenly distributed combing plates are fixedly connected to the bottom side of the internal rotating plate. The bottom side of each combing plate is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the spin dryer cylinder.
[0007] Preferably, a groove is formed on the side of the sealing side plate facing away from the spin dryer, and a surrounding base is slidably connected between the inner walls of the groove. A rotating motor is fixedly connected to the top side of the surrounding base, and the output end of the rotating motor is fixedly connected to the center of the sealing side plate.
[0008] Preferably, a drainage bottom frame is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the spin-drying outer frame, and an angle-adjusting support plate is fixedly connected to the side of the drainage bottom frame facing the rotating motor. An angle-adjusting cylinder is fixedly connected to the top side of the angle-adjusting support plate.
[0009] Preferably, the output end of the angle-adjusting cylinder is fixedly connected to an angle-adjusting connecting block, and a sliding rotating frame is rotatably connected to each side of the angle-adjusting connecting block. Two symmetrically distributed slide rails are provided on the bottom side of the surrounding base, and each sliding rotating frame corresponds to one slide rail. Each sliding rotating frame is slidably connected to the corresponding slide rail.
[0010] Preferably, an angle-adjusting ring frame is rotatably connected to the side of the spin-drying outer frame facing away from the sealing side plate, and the top inner wall of the angle-adjusting ring frame is slidably connected to the outer edge of the feed side ring plate.
[0011] Preferably, a water guide plate is fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the spin-drying frame, and a drain outlet is provided on the bottom side of the spin-drying frame. The outer bottom ends of the two water guide plates are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the drain outlet on both sides. Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] By using a spin-drying drum, the washed peppercorns are placed inside. The rotation of the drum generates centrifugal force, causing the water adhering to the surface of the peppercorns to condense into droplets and be ejected from the surface. The droplets then flow out through openings on the surface of the spin-drying drum. Inside the spin-drying drum, there is an internal rotating plate, and on the bottom side of the internal rotating plate, there are multiple combing plates. The weight of the combing plates keeps them pointing downwards and rotating relative to the spin-drying drum, separating the peppercorns that have gathered together. This prevents too many peppercorns from clogging the spin-drying holes and speeds up the spin-drying process. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0023] A peppercorn spin dryer includes a spin dryer frame 101. A fastening shaft is fixedly connected to one side of the spin dryer frame 101, and a fastening cover 102 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the fastening shaft. One side of the fastening cover 102 is adapted to the corresponding side of the spin dryer frame 101. A spin dryer cylinder 301 is rotatably connected between the fastening cover 102 and the inner wall of the spin dryer frame 101. The surface of the spin dryer cylinder 301 has multiple evenly distributed spin dryer holes. A feed side ring plate 302 is fixedly connected to one side of the spin dryer cylinder 301, and a sealing side plate 303 is fixedly connected to the other side of the spin dryer cylinder 301. In this embodiment, the feed side ring plate 302 has an opening in the middle, and the sealing side plate 303 is a closed design, allowing the operator to pour the peppercorns to be spin dry into the spin dryer cylinder 301 through the opening of the feed side ring plate 302.
[0024] A groove is formed on the side of the sealing side plate 303 facing away from the spin dryer 301. A surrounding base 306 is slidably connected between the inner walls of the groove. A rotating motor 307 is fixedly connected to the top side of the surrounding base 306. A connecting ring seat 308 is fixedly connected to the center of the sealing side plate 303. The output end of the rotating motor 307 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring seat 308. Therefore, when the rotating motor 307 is running, the spin dryer 301 can rotate relative to the surrounding base 306.
[0025] A drainage bottom frame 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the spin-drying outer frame 101. An angle-adjusting support plate 204 is fixedly connected to the side of the drainage bottom frame 201 facing the rotating motor 307. An angle-adjusting cylinder 304 is fixedly connected to the top side of the angle-adjusting support plate 204. An angle-adjusting connecting block is fixedly connected to the output end of the angle-adjusting cylinder 304. A sliding frame 305 is rotatably connected to each side of the angle-adjusting connecting block. Two symmetrically distributed slide rails are provided around the bottom side of the base 306. Each sliding frame 305 corresponds to one slide rail and is slidably connected to the corresponding slide rail. An angle-adjusting ring frame 104 is rotatably connected to the side of the spin-drying outer frame 101 facing away from the sealing side plate 303. The top inner wall of the angle-adjusting ring frame 104 is slidably connected to the outer edge of the feed side ring plate 302. In this embodiment, the operation of the angle-adjusting cylinder 304 lifts the surrounding base 306, thereby tilting the spin-drying cylinder 301 and pouring the peppercorns that have completed the spin-drying operation out of the spin-drying cylinder 301.
[0026] An internal rotating plate 402 is rotatably connected to the side of the sealing side plate 303 facing the spin-drying cylinder 301. Multiple evenly distributed combing plates 401 are fixedly connected to the bottom side of the internal rotating plate 402, and the bottom side of each combing plate 401 slides in contact with the inner wall of the spin-drying cylinder 301. In this embodiment, due to the weight of the combing plates 401 themselves, when the spin-drying cylinder 301 rotates, the combing plates 401 always face downwards and rotate relative to the spin-drying cylinder 301, thus breaking up the peppercorns in the spin-drying cylinder 301 and preventing the peppercorns from accumulating on the surface of the spin-drying cylinder 301 and clogging the spin-drying holes.
[0027] A water guide plate 202 is fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the spin-drying outer frame 101. A drain outlet 103 is provided on the bottom side of the spin-drying outer frame 101. The outer bottom ends of the two water guide plates 202 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the drain outlet 103 on both sides. In this embodiment, the top side of the water guide plate 202 is in contact with the bottom side of the snap-fit cover 102, so that the water droplets spun out flow into the drain bottom frame 201 through the water guide plate 202. A drain pipe 203 is provided inside the drain bottom frame 201. One end of the drain pipe 203 extends outside the drain bottom frame 201 and is connected to a water pump for easy water pumping.
[0028] It should be noted that this utility model is a peppercorn spin dryer. In use, the washed peppercorns are placed into the spin dryer 301 through the setting of the spin dryer 301. The rotation of the spin dryer 301 generates centrifugal force, causing the water adhering to the surface of the peppercorns to condense into water droplets and be thrown out from the surface of the peppercorns, flowing out through the openings on the surface of the spin dryer 301. An internal rotating plate 402 is set on the inner side of the spin dryer 301, and multiple combing plates 401 are set on the bottom side of the internal rotating plate 402. Through the weight of the combing plates 401, the combing plates 401 are always kept downward and rotate relative to the spin dryer 301, separating the peppercorns that have gathered together, preventing too many peppercorns from clogging the spin dryer holes, and speeding up the spin dryer operation.
