Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sea cucumber production technology, specifically to a sea cucumber air-drying and storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Sea cucumbers are marine invertebrates belonging to the class Holothuroidea in the phylum Echinodermata. They are widely distributed in oceans worldwide, from shallow to deep seas. Their bodies are soft and cylindrical, often with wart-like or spiny protrusions on the surface. They come in a variety of colors, including blackish-brown, greenish-brown, and yellowish-white. Sea cucumbers move slowly using their tube feet. When threatened, they defend themselves by expelling their internal organs or contracting their bodies, and their internal organs can regenerate. They feed on organic detritus, algae, and microorganisms on the seabed and are known as "ocean scavengers." Sea cucumbers play an important role in marine ecosystems, promoting the decomposition of organic matter and maintaining ecological balance. Some species also live in symbiosis with organisms such as wrasses. It should be noted that some sea cucumber species are poisonous and require professional processing. Overfishing has led to resource depletion, and sustainable utilization needs to be strengthened. Sea cucumbers hold an important place in ecology, diet, and traditional culture.

[0003] Currently, sea cucumber air drying mainly relies on natural sun drying or traditional drying equipment, but there are obvious limitations. Natural sun drying is easily affected by the weather, has low drying efficiency, and is difficult to guarantee hygiene conditions. Existing drying equipment often suffers from uneven airflow distribution, high energy consumption, and insufficient dust and insect prevention performance, resulting in uneven drying and unstable quality of sea cucumbers. In addition, traditional hanging racks are simple in design, inconvenient to pick up and put down, and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying and storage device for sea cucumbers to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sea cucumber air-drying and storage device, comprising a box body, a ventilation opening on the box body, a hanging rack for hanging sea cucumbers inside the box body, a top cover detachably installed on the box body, a fan fixedly installed on the top cover, a support frame fixedly connected to the top cover, a dustproof net installed on the support frame, and a heating component installed inside the top cover.

[0006] The unit has several ventilation openings, which are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the box. Each ventilation opening is fixedly connected to an insect-proof net.

[0007] The box body has two fixedly connected baffles inside, and the bracket includes two crossbars placed on the baffles, with several placement slots on each crossbar.

[0008] The top cover has an internally fixed air guide plate with several ventilation holes.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sea cucumber air-drying and storage device, including a box body 1, a ventilation opening 2 on the box body 1, wherein there are several ventilation openings 2, which are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the box body 1, and an insect-proof net 3 is fixedly connected inside each ventilation opening 2. An opening 11 is provided on the box body 1, and a collection box 12 is placed inside the opening 11.

[0024] Specifically, the container 1 provides a stable storage space for the sea cucumbers during air drying. Several evenly spaced ventilation openings 2 on its outer surface serve as the main channels for air circulation, ensuring sufficient air exchange between the inside and outside of the container 1. Each ventilation opening 2 has a fixedly connected insect-proof mesh 3 with a fine mesh structure, ensuring smooth airflow while effectively preventing the entry of external pollutants such as mosquitoes. The collection box 12 placed inside the opening 11 on the side of the container 1 has a pull-out structure, facilitating the collection and cleaning of debris and impurities shed from the sea cucumbers during the air drying process, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene inside the container 1.

[0025] The interior of the container 1 is equipped with a rack for hanging sea cucumbers. Two baffles 15 are fixedly connected inside the container 1. The rack includes two horizontal bars 13 placed on the baffles 15. Each horizontal bar 13 has several placement slots 14. Specifically, the two baffles 15 are the main support structure, and their surfaces are treated with an anti-slip finish to ensure the rack is stable and does not shift. The rack consists of two horizontal bars 13, and the placement slots 14 on the surface of the horizontal bars 13 are all arc-shaped, which can securely hold the suspended sea cucumbers. The distance between each placement slot 14 ensures both ventilation and maximizes space utilization.

[0026] Furthermore, the interior of the housing 1 is provided with two material picking rods 17, and the lower end face of each material picking rod 17 is fixedly connected with two connecting ropes 18. The other end of each connecting rope 18 is fixedly connected with a hook. Each crossbar 13 has two hanging holes 16 that are adapted to the hooks, and each material picking rod 17 is fixedly connected with a handle 19.

[0027] The two connecting ropes 18 and hooks on the two picking rods 17 can cooperate with the two hanging holes 16 on the crossbar 13. When in use, the operator only needs to lift the handle 19 to control the hook to lift the crossbar 13 at the same time, which facilitates batch picking and placing and improves work efficiency.

[0028] A top cover 4 is detachably mounted on the housing 1. A fan 5 is fixedly mounted on the top cover 4. A support frame 6 is fixedly connected to the top cover 4, and a dustproof net 7 is installed on the support frame 6. A heating element is installed inside the top cover 4, and an air guide plate 8 is fixedly connected inside the top cover 4. The air guide plate 8 has several ventilation holes. The heating element includes a set of heating wires 9 fixedly connected inside the top cover 4. Each heating wire 9 is located above the air guide plate 8. A control panel 10 is mounted on the top cover 4. The fan 5 and the set of heating wires 9 are electrically connected to the control panel 10 through wires. Specifically, the top cover 4 is detachable for easy maintenance. The installed fan 5 can provide a stable and continuous airflow. The dustproof net 7 on the support frame 6 can effectively block dust and impurities in the air. The heating element installed inside the top cover 4 works in conjunction with the fan 5, and through precise control, the best drying effect can be achieved.

[0029] Working Principle: During use, the chamber 1 is placed in the designated location and powered on. The sea cucumbers to be dried are then suspended in the placement slots 14 on the crossbar 13, ensuring even distribution within the chamber 1. The fan 5, operating in conjunction with the heating wire 9, generates hot air. This hot air is evenly dispersed through the ventilation holes on the air guide plate 8 before entering the chamber 1, creating a stable circulating airflow. This ensures even coverage of all sea cucumbers, preventing uneven heating. The heating temperature can be adjusted via the control panel 10 to suit different drying needs. Ventilation vents 2 are evenly distributed on the surface of the chamber 1, promoting air circulation. The built-in insect screen 3 prevents insects from entering. The fan 5 also creates a slight positive pressure within the chamber 1, further preventing external dust from entering through the ventilation vents 2. The dust screen 7 filters the air, ensuring a clean environment within the chamber 1. Debris falling during the drying process falls into the collection box 12 for easy cleaning. Once the drying process is complete, the operator can lift the material-retrieving rod 17 using the handle 19, which will drive the connecting rope 18 and the hook, causing the hook to disengage from the hanging hole 16 on the crossbar 13. This allows the entire rack to be removed along with the dried sea cucumbers, enabling batch operations and improving efficiency.

[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.
