Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Fruit and vegetable drying is a process that extends the shelf life of fruits and vegetables by removing moisture. Dried fruits and vegetables not only retain their original nutrients and flavor but also significantly reduce storage space, making them easier to store and transport for extended periods.

[0003] Utility model patent CN221265158U discloses a drying device for fruit and vegetable processing, including a main body component, an anti-fouling component, and a disinfection and sterilization component. The main body component is the core structure of the machine; the anti-fouling component consists of a guide pipe, a second slide connected to the side of a first slide, and a water receiving tray installed on the second slide, and is located inside the machine body. Through the cooperation of the main body component and the anti-fouling component, the device effectively catches the juice dripping during the dehydration process of fruits and vegetables, preventing the juice from the upper layer of fruits and vegetables from dripping onto the lower layer of fruits and vegetables and the machine, thereby avoiding cross-contamination of flavors, improving the drying effect, and making the machine easier to clean.

[0004] However, existing technologies employ a static drying mode, where fruits and vegetables remain in a fixed position during the drying process, leading to uneven contact with hot air. This results in significant differences in the degree of drying across different parts of the fruits and vegetables, with some areas being over-dried while others are under-dried, severely impacting the quality and taste of the dried produce. Even though some devices use objects to turn the fruits and vegetables to improve drying uniformity, this mechanical turning method is highly susceptible to physical damage, compromising the appearance and internal structure of the produce and reducing its commercial value. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A drying device for fruit and vegetable processing, comprising a drying section, a drying loading section, and a support section; the drying section includes a drying shell, with an air outlet at the top and an air inlet at the bottom, and a drying heating element for heating the airflow passing through the air inlet; a drying fan blade is rotatably mounted on one side of the drying heating element and is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of a drying motor; the drying loading section is arranged in a row within the drying shell; the support section includes a support tilting frame, which is rotatably mounted on a support base, and the drying shell is rotatably mounted on the support tilting frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the drying loading unit includes a drying loading box and a drying loading cover. Both the drying loading box and the drying loading cover are made of permanent magnet material. Fluid holes for gas flow are provided at corresponding positions on the drying loading box and the drying loading cover. The fluid holes are distributed in a circular array.

[0007] Furthermore, a drying bracket is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying shell, a drying cover is rotatably installed on the drying bracket, a drying fixing screw is rotatably installed on the drying cover, and a drying fixing nut is installed on the drying fixing screw. The drying fixing nut and the drying fixing screw are threaded together.

[0008] Furthermore, a drying rotation motor is fixedly installed on the supporting rotation frame, and the output shaft of the drying rotation motor is connected to the drying shell through a drying conveyor belt. The supporting rotation frame is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the supporting rotation motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the support base is circular and has fixing holes for fixing.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0011] 1. Improved drying uniformity: By incorporating a drying rotation motor and a support rotation motor, the drying shell and loading section can rotate at multiple angles. Utilizing the natural gravity of the fruits and vegetables, they are naturally turned, changing their position and orientation within the drying loading box. This ensures more thorough and even contact with hot air, effectively avoiding the problems of uneven drying in different parts of fruits and vegetables, and over-drying or under-drying in some areas, which are common in traditional static drying methods. This significantly improves the quality and taste of the dried fruits and vegetables.

[0012] 2. It abandons the traditional method of mechanically turning fruits and vegetables, relying on the weight of the fruits and vegetables themselves to turn them, which will not cause physical damage to the products, effectively protect the appearance and internal structure of the fruits and vegetables, ensure the integrity of the products, and greatly enhance the commercial value of the fruits and vegetables.

[0013] 3. Improved drying efficiency: During the drying process, the multi-angle rotation causes the fruits and vegetables to turn frequently, ensuring more comprehensive contact with hot air and accelerating moisture evaporation. This effectively shortens drying time, improves drying efficiency, and meets production needs. Simultaneously, the continuous operation of the support and tilting motor, combined with the rotation of the drying shell, creates multi-directional rotation, further enhancing drying efficiency and adapting to the drying requirements of different fruits and vegetables.

[0014] 4. Enhanced applicability: The device can flexibly select different rotation modes according to the characteristics and drying requirements of different fruits and vegetables. For example, it can turn on only the drying flip motor to make the drying shell rotate, or turn on both the drying flip motor and the support flip motor at the same time to achieve multi-angle and multi-direction rotation. It can adapt to the drying process of various fruits and vegetables, significantly improving the applicability and versatility of the device. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a drying device for fruit and vegetable processing includes a drying loading section 1, a drying section 2, and a support section 3.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the drying unit 2 includes a drying shell 201, a drying cover 202, a drying fixing screw 203, a drying fixing nut 204, a drying bracket 205, a drying motor 206, a drying fan blade 207, a drying heating element 208, a drying tilting motor 209, and a drying conveyor belt 210. The drying shell 201 and the drying cover 202 are both made of stainless steel. The top of the drying shell 201 has an air outlet, and the bottom has an air inlet. A drying heating element 208 for heating the airflow passing through the air inlet is installed inside the air inlet. The drying heating element 208 and the drying motor 206 are both electrically connected to the battery pack via wires. The battery pack is detachably mounted on the drying housing 201 by bolts. A drying fan blade 207 is rotatably mounted on one side of the drying heating element 208. The drying fan blade 207 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the drying motor 206. The drying motor 206 is fixedly mounted on the drying housing 201. A drying bracket 205 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the drying housing 201. A drying cover 202 is rotatably mounted on the drying bracket 205. A drying fixing screw 203 is rotatably mounted on the drying cover 202. A drying fixing nut 204 is mounted on the drying fixing screw 203. The drying fixing nut 204 and the drying fixing screw 203 are threaded together.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the drying loading section 1 is arranged in a row within the drying outer shell 201; the drying loading section 1 includes a drying loading box 101 and a drying loading cover 102. Both the drying loading box 101 and the drying loading cover 102 are made of neodymium iron boron permanent magnet material. Fluid holes for gas flow are provided at corresponding positions on the drying loading box 101 and the drying loading cover 102. The fluid holes are distributed in a circular array along the rotation center of the drying loading box 101.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the support part 3 includes a support base 301, a support tilting motor 302, and a support tilting frame 303; the support tilting frame 303 is rotatably mounted on the support base 301, and the drying shell 201 is rotatably mounted on the support tilting frame 303; the support tilting motor 302 and the drying tilting motor 209 are fixedly mounted on the support tilting frame 303, the output shaft of the drying tilting motor 209 is connected to the drying shell 201 through the drying conveyor belt 210, and the support tilting frame 303 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the support tilting motor 302; the support base 301 is circular, and the support base 301 is provided with fixing holes for fixing.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the present invention discloses a drying device for fruit and vegetable processing. Its working principle is as follows: The operator first loosens the drying fixing nut 204, then rotates the drying fixing screw 203 so that the drying fixing screw 203 and the drying fixing nut 204 are disengaged from the drying shell 201. Then, the drying cover 202 is opened, the drying loading part 1 is pulled out, the drying loading box 101 and the drying loading cover 102 are separated, the fruit and vegetable products to be dried are placed into the drying loading box 101, and then the drying loading box 101 and the drying loading cover 102 are closed again, and the drying loading part 1 is inserted back into the drying shell 201.

[0029] Turn on the drying motor 206 and the drying heating element 208. The rotation of the drying motor 206 drives the drying fan blade 207 to rotate. The rotation of the drying fan blade 207 drives air to enter from the air inlet at the bottom of the drying shell 201, so that the air enters the interior of the drying shell 201 through the spaced drying heating elements 208. The drying heating elements 208 are equipped with resistance wires for heating. After the power is turned on, heating begins. The drying heating elements 208 heat the air passing through them, so that the air entering the drying shell 201 is hot air, which accelerates the drying speed. The fruit and vegetable products are initially dried and shaped.

[0030] After the fruits and vegetables have undergone initial drying and shaping, the drying flip motor 209 and the support flip motor 302 can be activated as needed. The drying flip motor 209 rotates and transmits power to the drying shell 201 through the drying conveyor belt 210, causing the drying shell 201 to rotate. The support flip motor 302 rotates and drives the support flip frame 303 to make the drying section 2 and the drying loading section 1 parallel to the ground. At this time, the drying shell 201 rotates, and the fruits and vegetables are flipped by their own gravity, thereby changing the position and orientation of the fruits and vegetables in the drying loading box 101, making their contact with hot air more uniform, and thus making the drying more uniform. This avoids the problem of damage to the fruits and vegetables caused by turning them over with objects in traditional drying methods.

[0031] During this process, the support and flipping motor 302 can be continuously turned on. The continuous rotation of the support and flipping motor 302 drives the drying section 2 and the drying loading section 1 to rotate in multiple directions in conjunction with the rotation of the drying shell 201, so that the fruit and vegetable products are turned more evenly and frequently, thereby improving the drying quality and efficiency. Different modes can be selected according to different products to improve applicability.
