Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silkworm cocoon processing technology, specifically a multifunctional integrated equipment for drying and disinfecting silkworm cocoons. Background Technology

[0002] Drying and disinfecting silkworm cocoons are crucial steps in silkworm cocoon processing, directly affecting cocoon quality and subsequent processing efficiency. In traditional processes, drying and disinfection are usually carried out separately, which presents several problems: First, traditional drying and disinfection equipment operate independently, requiring multiple handling of silkworm cocoons, increasing labor intensity and time costs, and reducing production efficiency; second, independent equipment operation leads to increased energy consumption and higher maintenance costs.

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the existing technology (Chinese patent application number 202420046023.5, application date 2024-10-09) provides a silkworm cocoon steaming and disinfection device. After steaming and disinfection, the sealing plate is pulled out, and the connecting plate, the mesh frame, and the silkworm cocoons inside are pushed up to the top of the steaming box by an electric push rod, so that water drips into the interior of the steaming box. Then, with the cooperation of a drying fan and a heating mesh tube, the flowing hot air dries the silkworm cocoons quickly. This makes it convenient for workers to quickly unload the cocoons and dry them after steaming, without the need for external equipment, saving manpower and time and reducing processing costs. However, the above device has a relatively simple method for drying and disinfecting silkworm cocoons, resulting in poor drying and disinfection effects and low efficiency. In addition, the silkworm cocoons remain stationary during drying, resulting in uneven drying.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for innovative design based on existing equipment. Therefore, we have proposed a multifunctional integrated silkworm cocoon drying and disinfection device that can effectively solve these problems. Utility Model Content

It can efficiently dry and disinfect silkworm cocoons, improve the quality of silkworm cocoon processing, simplify the process, improve production efficiency, and reduce energy consumption and equipment maintenance costs. Through the combination of the support tray and the swing component, the support tray drives the loading tray and the silkworm cocoons on it to swing repeatedly to achieve a uniform drying effect on the silkworm cocoons. The specific contents are as follows: (1) By setting up a hot air circulation system, the fan blows the air heated by the heating tube into the box, which can uniformly heat the silkworm cocoons.

The movable connection between the connecting block and the connecting groove can adapt to the operation of the swing component.

[0016] (4) By setting a limiting component, when discharging, the rotating shaft is pushed outward, the limiting gear disengages from the rack, and the insertion hole on the rotating shaft moves to the bottom of the insertion rod. At this time, the spring rebounds and drives the insertion rod to insert into the insertion hole, thus achieving axial limiting of the rotating shaft to prevent it from flipping and causing the cocoons on the loading tray to fall off, so as to achieve smooth discharge.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a multifunctional integrated silkworm cocoon drying and disinfection device, including a box body 1 and a box door 2, wherein silkworm cocoons are loaded into the box body 1 via loading trays 3 for processing; a hot air circulation system consisting of heating pipes 4 and a fan 5 is provided at the middle of the rear end of the box body 1, and the air heated by the heating pipes 4 is blown into the box body 1 by the fan 5, so that the silkworm cocoons can be heated evenly; ultraviolet disinfection lamps 6 are installed on the inner wall of the rear end of the box body 1 corresponding to the position of each loading tray 3, and an ozone supply box 7 is installed on one side of the box body 1. With the setting of ultraviolet disinfection lamps 6 and ozone supply box 7, the silkworm cocoons can be disinfected by ultraviolet light and ozone respectively. The dual disinfection method of ultraviolet light and ozone can effectively kill bacteria and viruses, ensuring the safety and hygiene of silkworm cocoons. In summary, this device realizes the integration of drying and disinfection, reduces the number of handling operations, simplifies the process, improves production efficiency, and reduces energy consumption and equipment maintenance costs.

[0026] Furthermore, the side wall of chamber 1 is equipped with a control system to control the operation of the hot air circulation system, ultraviolet disinfection lamp 6, and ozone supply box 7. It adopts PID temperature control technology and is equipped with temperature and humidity sensors and a microprocessor. It can automatically adjust the drying temperature, time, and disinfection intensity according to the characteristics and quantity of silkworm cocoons, realizing intelligent operation and precise control of temperature and humidity to ensure stable silkworm cocoon quality. In addition, the control system uses a touch screen operation interface for convenient operation and parameter setting by users. At the same time, the interior of chamber 1 is also equipped with temperature sensors, humidity sensors, ozone concentration sensors, etc., to monitor the operating status of the equipment and ensure safe operation of the equipment and personnel safety.

[0027] The interior of the housing 1 is provided with multiple layers of support trays 8, and the loading tray 3 is placed on the inner side of the support trays 8. The two sides of the support trays 8 are provided with swing components. The swing components include rotating shafts 9 fixedly connected to the two sides of the support trays 8. Multiple sets of fixed slides 10 are formed on the inner walls of both sides of the housing 1, and the rotating shafts 9 slide on the inner side of the fixed slides 10. The outer wall of the rotating shafts 9 is fixedly connected with limit gears 11, and the limit gears 11 on the same side mesh with racks 12. The two racks 12 slide through to the outside of the top of the housing 1 and are fixedly connected to a connecting plate 14. The top of the housing 1 is fixedly installed with a first electric push rod 13 for pushing the connecting plate 14 to lift and lower. By setting up a swing assembly, during drying, the first electric push rod 13 controls the connecting plate 14 to repeatedly rise and fall, and the two racks 12 move up and down synchronously. Through the meshing of the racks 12 with multiple sets of limit gears 11, each set of limit gears 11 can be driven to rotate synchronously, and the rotating shaft 9 rotates along the fixed slide 10. In this way, the tray 8 can drive the inner loading tray 3 and the silkworm cocoons on it to swing repeatedly to achieve a uniform drying effect on the silkworm cocoons. In addition, the top and bottom inner walls of the box 1 are fixedly connected with sleeves, and the racks 12 slide vertically inside the sleeves to ensure the stability of the racks 12 moving up and down to drive the multiple sets of limit gears 11 and the rotating shaft 9 to rotate.

[0028] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a discharge assembly is provided inside the box 1. The discharge assembly includes a second electric push rod 15 fixedly installed at the rear end of the box 1. The output end of the second electric push rod 15 is fixedly connected to a linkage slide plate 16. The linkage slide plate 16 is composed of multiple sliders sliding inside a fixed slide block 10 on one side and a rod connecting the sliders. One end of the slider of the linkage slide plate 16 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 17. One end of the rotating shaft 9 is provided with a connecting groove 18, and the connecting block 17 is correspondingly and movably connected to the inner side of the connecting groove 18. By setting up the discharge assembly, after drying and disinfection are completed, the second electric push rod 15 starts to push the linkage slide plate 16 to move outward. The slider of the linkage slide plate 16 continues to push the rotating shaft 9 to move outward along the fixed slide block 10 through the movable connection between the connecting block 17 and the connecting groove 18. The tray 8, the loading tray 3 and the silkworm cocoons on it move synchronously, so that the staff can take out the loading tray 3. The movable connection between the connecting block 17 and the connecting groove 18 can adapt to the operation of the swing assembly.

[0029] Furthermore, each fixed slide block 10 is provided with a limiting component, which includes a groove 19 formed at the top of the fixed slide block 10, and a sliding ring 20 is slidably limited on the inner side of the groove 19. The outer walls of both sides of the sliding ring 20 are formed with protrusions, and the inner walls of both sides of the groove 19 are formed with elongated grooves. The protrusions slide correspondingly on the inner side of the elongated grooves to ensure stable horizontal sliding of the sliding ring 20. A rod 21 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding ring 20, and the top of the rotating shaft 9 has a insertion hole matching the size of the rod 21. The insertion hole and the rod 21 are staggered. A spring 22 is fixedly connected to the insertion rod 21. By setting a limiting component, when the material is discharged, the rotating shaft 9 is pushed outward, and the limiting gear 11 will disengage from the rack 12. At the same time, the insertion hole on the rotating shaft 9 will move to the bottom of the insertion rod 21. At this time, the spring 22 rebounds and drives the insertion rod 21 to insert downward into the insertion hole, thus achieving axial limiting of the rotating shaft 9 and preventing it from overturning during the outward movement, which would cause the cocoons on the loading tray 3 to scatter. As the insertion rod 21 is inserted into the rotating shaft 9, it will drive the sliding ring 20 to move outward along the slide groove 19 in sync, so as to achieve smooth material discharge.
