Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dried pepper preparation technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency drying equipment for dried pepper. Background Technology

[0002] Dried Sichuan peppercorns are a common seasoning in our daily lives, possessing a rich numbing aroma and unique taste. They are an indispensable ingredient in Chinese cuisine and are typically made from fresh Sichuan peppercorns through washing and drying. Traditional methods involve natural sun-drying or drying over a fire, while modern methods often use temperature- and time-controlled drying machines to prevent mold and color deterioration.

[0003] Existing drying equipment typically uses a rotary dryer, during which hot and humid gas is continuously discharged, resulting in a significant loss of heat, wasted energy, and low drying efficiency. Therefore, a high-efficiency drying device for dried peppercorns is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the continuous discharge of hot and humid gas during the drying process, resulting in significant heat loss, energy waste, and low drying efficiency. This invention proposes a high-efficiency drying device for dried Sichuan peppercorns.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A high-efficiency drying device for dried Sichuan peppercorns includes:

[0007] The frame has two support plates fixedly connected between its two sides. Each support plate is equipped with a support wheel on its top. A rotatable drying cylinder is set on the top of the multiple support wheels. A feed inlet is provided at one end of the drying cylinder.

[0008] A shielding cover is rotatably connected to the bottom of the frame via a support column and is located on one side of the feed inlet. An inclined hopper is fixedly connected to the shielding cover. The bottom of the hopper passes through the shielding cover and extends to the feed inlet. A plate with ventilation holes is inserted into the bottom of the hopper. The plate is fixed to the shielding cover by a fixing pin.

[0009] The drive mechanism includes a motor fixed to the top of the frame, the output shaft of the motor being connected to a worm gear, a mounting cylinder fixed to one side of the drying cylinder, and a worm wheel meshing with the worm gear on the outer wall of the mounting cylinder;

[0010] The drying mechanism includes a filter box fixed to the top of the frame, a fan connected to the top of the filter box, a duct air heater fixedly connected to the air outlet of the fan, and a blower pipe fixedly installed at the air outlet of the duct air heater through a flange. One end of the blower pipe passes through the mounting cylinder and extends into the interior of the drying cylinder.

[0011] The inner wall of the drying cylinder is fixed with multiple sets of spiral guide blades, and a heat insulation cover is provided between the two sides of the frame to surround the drying cylinder.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0013] One end of the blower tube extending into the drying cylinder is fixedly connected to a blower box, and the air outlet end of the blower box is set at an angle downward.

[0014] A fixing frame is fixed to the surface of the frame, and a fixing shaft is provided on one side of the cover. The fixing frame limits the fixing shaft by a limiting pin.

[0015] An arc-shaped guide rail is fixed on one side of the heat insulation cover, and an arc-shaped slide rod that slides with the guide rail is provided on one side of the shielding cover.

[0016] The support wheel is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and the drying cylinder is made of 304 stainless steel.

[0017] The filter box has a filter screen on its open side.

[0018] The guide vanes are evenly distributed along the inner circumference of the drying cylinder, and the spiral angle is 15°-30°.

[0019] The angle between the air outlet of the blower box and the horizontal direction is 30°-45°.

[0020] In this application, during use, the peppercorns to be dried are fed into the drying drum through the hopper. Then, the motor is started, and the motor drives the drying drum to rotate through the worm gear and worm wheel. The spiral guide vanes keep the peppercorns tumbling inside the drying drum. During drying, the fan is started to draw air to pre-dry the peppercorns. Then, the pipeline air heater is started to allow hot air to enter the drying drum and further dry the peppercorns. During the drying process, the insert plate is closed and then fixed with a fixing pin. The next batch of peppercorns to be dried is then placed into the hopper. This allows the peppercorns in the hopper to be pre-dried while the raw materials in the drying drum are being dried, reducing heat loss and improving drying efficiency. After drying, the limit pin is removed, the cover is opened, and the motor output shaft is reversed to allow the dried peppercorns to be discharged for easy use. Then, the raw materials are fed in again, and this process is repeated to dry the peppercorns.

[0021] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the high-efficiency drying equipment for dried peppercorns is designed by installing a rotatable hopper at one end of the drying cylinder, so that the drying cylinder can pre-dry the next batch of peppercorns in the hopper during the drying process, thereby reducing heat loss and improving drying efficiency.

[0022] In this utility model, the high-efficiency drying equipment for dried peppercorns has a support wheel installed at the bottom of the drying cylinder. The support wheel contacts the bottom of the drying cylinder, thereby supporting the drying cylinder, facilitating the rotation of the drying cylinder, and improving the service life of the equipment.

[0023] In this invention, the drying cylinder can pre-dry the next batch of peppercorns in the hopper during the drying process, reducing heat loss and improving drying efficiency. At the same time, the support wheel contacts the bottom of the drying cylinder, thus providing support for the drying cylinder, facilitating its rotation, and extending the service life of the equipment.
