Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of citrus peel processing, and in particular to a citrus peel drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Citrus peel is commonly used in the production of traditional Chinese medicine or dried tangerine peel. During the drying process, it is necessary to preserve the active ingredients and control the temperature and humidity to prevent mold or spoilage.

[0003] A related technology, with publication number CN220187259U, describes a tangerine peel drying device, including a drying chamber. The drying chamber has a heat-insulating cover on top and a partition installed inside. A gas conveying component is located below the partition, and several sets of gas outlets are connected to the gas conveying component on the partition. A placement basket with a hollow design is located above the partition, and several sets of placement baskets are provided. A basket cover is installed above each placement basket, and the basket cover is connected to the placement basket via a fixing component. An extension is located above the basket cover, with its upper end penetrating the heat-insulating cover and connected to it via a limiting component. This invention rapidly increases the temperature inside the drying chamber by using hot air blowing from the bottom and heating the placement baskets on both sides with electric heating tubes. It also separates the drying of the tangerine peel into individual batches using several sets of placement baskets, reducing noise from electronic equipment while improving the efficiency of tangerine peel drying.

[0004] The problem with the above-mentioned technology is that dried tangerine peel easily generates steam during the drying process. If it is not discharged in time or is not distributed evenly, it will cause the tangerine peel to stick together, affecting the final drying effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to address the problem that current citrus peel drying devices, due to their inherent design features, tend to generate steam during the drying process. If this steam is not discharged in time or is not distributed evenly, it can cause the citrus peels to stick together, affecting the final drying effect. Therefore, this application provides a citrus peel drying device.

[0006] The citrus peel drying device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: it includes a fixed base, a support seat fixedly disposed on one side of the fixed base, a heating seat disposed on the upper surface of the support seat, a drying chamber connected to the heating seat, a connecting component disposed between the drying chamber and the heating seat, a feeding rod disposed in the drying chamber, and a driving component for driving the feeding rod.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a stable support structure is provided through the fixed setting of the base and support seat; the heating seat is connected to the heating device to ensure effective heating of the inside of the drying chamber, which facilitates the rapid drying of the tangerine peel; the material-pulling rod set inside the drying chamber, driven by the drive component, can turn and stir the tangerine peel, which not only promotes the heat exchange efficiency during the drying process, but also effectively removes the water vapor generated during the drying process, thereby improving the drying effect and efficiency.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the heating seat is externally connected to the heating device, and a heat-conducting plate is provided on the upper surface of the heating seat. The external heating device heats the heating seat, and the upper surface of the heating seat is provided with a heat-conducting plate. The heat generated by the heating device is conducted to the heat-conducting plate through the heating seat, and then the heat is transferred to the tangerine peel inside the drying chamber, effectively achieving the drying of the tangerine peel.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting assembly includes a positioning groove that is adapted to the drying chamber on the upper end face of the support base, limiting posts that are respectively disposed on both sides of the lower end face of the drying chamber, and a limiting groove that is adapted to the limiting posts in the positioning groove.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning groove facilitates the guidance of the installation position of the drying chamber.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the limiting post is fixedly connected to the drying chamber.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, in summary, the positioning groove on the upper end face of the support base, the limiting posts fixed on both sides of the lower end face of the drying chamber, and the limiting groove within the positioning groove achieve precise positioning and stable connection of the drying chamber. The working principle is as follows: when the drying chamber is placed on the support base, the positioning groove provides guidance and positioning for the installation of the drying chamber, while the cooperation between the limiting posts and the limiting groove further fixes the position of the drying chamber, ensuring the stability of the connection and preventing the drying chamber from shifting due to force during the material feeding process of the feeding rod. This not only improves the overall stability and reliability of the equipment operation but also effectively ensures the smooth progress of the drying process.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the drive assembly includes a direct-acting assembly and a linkage assembly. The direct-acting assembly includes a cam connected to the end of the feeding rod away from the drying chamber, a drive motor connected to the cam, and a mounting base for mounting the drive motor. The mounting base is fixedly mounted on the fixed base.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting base can provide stable support for the drive motor.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the output shaft of the drive motor passes through the mounting base and is connected to the cam, and the cam is connected to the feed lever via a connecting pin.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor is fixedly installed by the mounting bracket, the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the cam, and the cam is fixedly connected to the feeding rod by the connecting pin. When the drive motor starts, its output shaft rotates and drives the cam to rotate. The rotation of the cam causes the feeding rod to move up and down reciprocally, thereby realizing the continuous turning and uniform heating of the tangerine peel placed in the drying box.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the linkage assembly includes a first connecting rod rotatably disposed on the mounting base away from the drive motor, a second connecting rod connected to the other end of the first connecting rod, and a third connecting rod disposed next to the second connecting rod.

The second and third connecting rods are rotatably connected to the feeding rod via connecting shafts. The other ends of the second and third connecting rods are also rotatably connected to the first connecting rod via connecting shafts. The first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the mounting base away from the end connected to the second and third connecting rods.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, to ensure the stable movement of the feeding rod, the linkage assembly consists of a first connecting rod located on one side of the mounting base, a second connecting rod connecting the first connecting rod and the feeding rod, and a third connecting rod. The other ends of the second and third connecting rods are also connected to the first connecting rod via a connecting shaft. The entire assembly achieves flexible rotation through the connecting shaft. Therefore, when the feeding rod moves up and down under the action of the cam, the first, second, and third connecting rods can effectively guide its radial range of rotation, ensuring the continuous turning of the orange peel by the feeding rod, improving drying efficiency and effect, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment operation.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the device also includes handles respectively disposed at both ends of the upper surface of the drying chamber, wherein the handles and the limiting posts are arranged alternately.

[0031] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This application discloses a citrus peel drying apparatus. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 5The invention includes a fixed base 1, a support base 2 fixedly disposed on one side of the fixed base 1, a heating seat 7 disposed on the upper surface of the support base 2, a drying chamber 3 connected to the heating seat 7, a connecting component disposed between the drying chamber 3 and the heating seat 7, a material-pulling rod 4 disposed inside the drying chamber 3, and a driving component for driving the material-pulling rod 4. In this invention, the fixed base 1 and the support base 2 provide a stable support structure; the heating seat 7 is connected to a heating device to ensure effective heating of the inside of the drying chamber 3, facilitating rapid drying of the tangerine peel; the material-pulling rod 4 disposed inside the drying chamber 3, driven by the driving component, can turn and stir the tangerine peel, which not only promotes the heat exchange efficiency during the drying process, but also effectively removes the water vapor generated during the drying process, thereby improving the drying effect and efficiency. In terms of working principle, the heating seat 7 transfers heat energy to the drying chamber 3 to heat and dry the tangerine peel inside; the drive component drives the feeding rod 4 to move up and down inside the drying chamber 3 to turn the tangerine peel over, maintaining the uniformity of drying. At the same time, the turning action promotes the timely discharge of accumulated moisture or water vapor inside. Throughout the process, the structure is stable, the operation is simple, and the tangerine peel drying operation can be completed efficiently.

[0033] Please refer to details. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A citrus peel drying device includes a fixed base 1, a support base 2 fixedly disposed on one side of the fixed base 1, a heating seat 7 disposed on the upper surface of the support base 2, and a drying chamber 3 connected to the heating seat 7. The heating seat 7 is externally connected to a heating device, and a heat-conducting plate is disposed on the upper surface of the heating seat 7. The external heating device heats the heating seat 7, and the heat generated by the heating device is conducted to the heat-conducting plate through the heating seat 7, and then transferred to the citrus peels inside the drying chamber 3, effectively drying the citrus peels. Its working principle is that an external power supply is supplied to the heating device. When the heating device is working, it generates heat energy, which is transferred to the heat-conducting plate through the heating seat 7. The heat-conducting plate then evenly transfers the heat to the drying chamber 3. The citrus peels placed inside the chamber absorb heat through the heat-conducting plate and the air inside the chamber, thereby achieving the purpose of drying. The entire process involves a heating device that converts electrical energy into heat energy, which is then transferred to a heat-conducting plate via a heating base 7. Finally, the heat-conducting plate transfers the heat to the orange peel inside the drying chamber 3 through conduction and convection, achieving an efficient and uniform drying process while avoiding damage to the orange peel caused by high-temperature heat.

[0034] Please refer to details. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A connecting component is provided between the drying chamber 3 and the heating base 7. The connecting component includes a positioning groove 21 that is adapted to the drying chamber 3 on the upper end face of the support base 2, a limiting post 32 that is respectively provided on both sides of the lower end face of the drying chamber 3, and a limiting groove 211 that is adapted to the limiting post 32 in the positioning groove 21. The positioning groove 21 facilitates the guidance of the installation position of the drying chamber 3.

[0035] Please refer to details. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The limiting post 32 is fixedly connected to the drying chamber 3. The limiting post 32 and the limiting groove 211 complement each other, facilitating the positioning of the drying chamber 3 and effectively ensuring the stability of the connection between the drying chamber 3 and the support base 2. This prevents the drying chamber 3 from shifting position when the feeding rod 4 feeds the tangerine peel. In summary, the positioning groove 21 on the upper end face of the support base 2, the limiting posts 32 fixed on both sides of the lower end face of the drying chamber 3, and the limiting groove 211 within the positioning groove 21 achieve precise positioning and stable connection of the drying chamber 3. The working principle is as follows: when the drying chamber 3 is placed on the support base 2, the positioning groove 21 provides guidance and positioning for the installation of the drying chamber 3, while the cooperation between the limiting post 32 and the limiting groove 211 further fixes the position of the drying chamber 3, ensuring the stability of the connection and preventing the drying chamber 3 from shifting position due to force during the feeding process of the feeding rod 4. This not only improves the overall stability and reliability of the equipment, but also effectively ensures the smooth operation of the drying process.

The drive assembly includes a direct-acting assembly and a linkage assembly. The direct-acting assembly includes a cam 61 connected to the end of the material-dispensing rod 4 away from the drying chamber 3, a drive motor 611 connected to the cam 61, and a mounting base 5 for mounting the drive motor 611. The mounting base 5 is fixedly mounted on the fixed base 1, and the mounting base 5 provides stable support for the drive motor 611. The output shaft of the drive motor 611 passes through the mounting base 5 and is connected to the cam 61. The cam 61 is connected to the material-dispensing rod 4 through a connecting pin. The drive motor 611 is fixedly mounted through the mounting base 5. The output shaft of the drive motor 611 is connected to the cam 61. The cam 61 and the material-dispensing rod 4 are fixedly connected through the connecting pin. When the drive motor 611 is started, its output shaft rotates, driving the cam 61 to rotate. The rotation of the cam 61 causes the material-dispensing rod 4 to move up and down reciprocally, thereby realizing continuous turning and uniform heating of the tangerine peels placed in the drying chamber 3.

[0037] Please refer to details. Figure 5The linkage assembly includes a first connecting rod 62 rotatably mounted on the mounting base 5 away from the drive motor 611, a second connecting rod 631 connected to the other end of the first connecting rod 62, and a third connecting rod 632 located next to the second connecting rod 631. The other ends of the second connecting rod 631 and the third connecting rod 632 are respectively located at the two ends of the feed lever 4 away from the end connected to the cam 61. The second connecting rod 631 and the third connecting rod 632 are rotatably connected to the feed lever 4 via connecting shafts. The other ends of the second connecting rod 631 and the third connecting rod 632 are also connected via... The first connecting rod 62 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 62 via a connecting shaft. The first connecting rod 62, located away from the second and third connecting rods 631 and 632 respectively, is rotatably connected to the mounting base 5. To ensure stable movement of the feeding rod 4, the linkage assembly consists of the first connecting rod 62 located on one side of the mounting base 5, and the second and third connecting rods 631 and 632 connecting the first connecting rod 62 and the feeding rod 4. The other ends of the second and third connecting rods 631 and 632 are also connected to the first connecting rod 62 via a connecting shaft. The entire assembly achieves flexible rotation via the connecting shaft. Therefore, when the feeding rod 4 moves up and down under the action of the cam 61, the first connecting rod 62, the second connecting rod 631, and the third connecting rod 632 can effectively guide its radial rotation range, ensuring continuous turning of the orange peel by the feeding rod 4, improving drying efficiency and effect, and guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the equipment operation.

[0038] Please refer to details. Figure 1 and Figure 2 To facilitate the transfer of tangerine peels after drying, handles 31 are installed at both ends of the upper surface of the drying chamber 3. The handles 31 and the limiting posts 32 are staggered. After the drying process is completed, the operator can easily grasp the handles 31 and smoothly transfer the entire drying chamber 3 to the next work step. The design of the limiting posts 32 avoids interference with the handles 31, allowing the drying chamber 3 to operate stably during the material handling process, thereby improving work efficiency and operational safety.

[0039] The implementation principle of the citrus peel drying device in this application embodiment is as follows: When the drying box 3 is placed on the support base 2, the positioning groove 21 provides guidance and positioning for the installation of the drying box 3, and the mutual cooperation between the limiting column 32 and the limiting groove 211 further fixes the position of the drying box 3, ensuring the stability of the connection. The external power supply is supplied to the heating device. When the heating device is working, it generates heat energy and transfers it to the heat conduction plate through the heating base 7. The heat conduction plate then evenly transfers the heat to the drying box 3. The citrus peel placed in the box absorbs heat through the heat conduction plate and the air in the box, thereby achieving the purpose of drying.

[0040] The output shaft of the drive motor 611 is connected to the cam 61. The cam 61 is fixedly connected to the feeding rod 4 by a connecting pin. When the drive motor 611 starts, its output shaft rotates, driving the cam 61 to rotate. The rotation of the cam 61 causes the feeding rod 4 to move up and down, thereby realizing the continuous turning and uniform heating of the orange peel placed in the drying chamber 3. In order to ensure the stable movement of the feeding rod 4, the linkage assembly consists of a first connecting rod 62 located on one side of the mounting base 5, a second connecting rod 631 and a third connecting rod 632 connecting the first connecting rod 62 and the feeding rod 4. The other end of the second connecting rod 631 and the third connecting rod 632 is also connected to the first connecting rod 62 through a connecting shaft. The entire assembly can rotate flexibly through the connecting shaft. Therefore, when the feeding rod 4 moves up and down under the action of the cam 61, the first connecting rod 62, the second connecting rod 631 and the third connecting rod 632 can effectively guide its radial range of rotation, ensuring that the feeding rod 4 continuously turns the orange peel, improving the drying efficiency and effect, while ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment operation.
