Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of Fructus Aurantii Immaturus processing, and particularly relates to a drying device for Fructus Aurantii Immaturus processing. Background Technique
[0002] Fructus Aurantii Immaturus is a traditional Chinese medicine material used in traditional Chinese medicine treatment. When being processed, it needs to be cleaned, sliced and dried to remove the internal moisture and increase the storage time. Therefore, a drying device is required to dry it during the processing of Fructus Aurantii Immaturus.
[0003] The current drying device for Fructus Aurantii Immaturus processing usually consists of a drying box, a bracket, and a heat source. The heat source is used to dry the Fructus Aurantii Immaturus slices placed on the bracket, so that the internal moisture evaporates quickly, reducing the water content of Fructus Aurantii Immaturus and increasing its storage time. However, in the existing drying device for Fructus Aurantii Immaturus processing, since the heat source is on one side of the drying box, the heating is not uniform, resulting in a slower drying speed of the Fructus Aurantii Immaturus in the central area of the bracket compared to that on the edge of the bracket. After the drying work of Fructus Aurantii Immaturus is completed, the Fructus Aurantii Immaturus slices in the edge area of the bracket are over-dried, becoming brittle and unable to be preserved intact, affecting the sales of Fructus Aurantii Immaturus and being not conducive to use.
[0004] Therefore, we provide a drying device for Fructus Aurantii Immaturus processing to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a drying device for Fructus Aurantii Immaturus processing. Through the cooperation of a uniform heating component and an anti-sticking component, it solves the problem in the prior art that the heating of the drying device for Fructus Aurantii Immaturus is not uniform, easily causing the Fructus Aurantii Immaturus closer to the heat source to be over-dried, making it brittle and unable to be preserved intact, which affects the sales.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions.
[0007] The utility model relates to a drying device for Fructus Aurantii Immaturus processing, which comprises a shell, a uniform heating component and an anti-sticking component. A circulation mechanism is fixedly connected to the rear side of the shell. Both ends of the circulation mechanism penetrate through the shell and are connected to a blowing plate through a hose. One side of each of the two blowing plates, which is opposite to the other, is movably connected to the inner wall of the shell through a mounting frame. The uniform heating component comprises two first motors. The rear side of the first motor is fixedly connected to the mounting frame. The rear side of the output end of the first motor penetrates through the mounting frame and is fixedly connected to a turntable. A regulating rod is fixedly connected to the rear side of the turntable. Push plates are arranged on one side of each of the two regulating rods, which is opposite to the other. One side of each of the two push plates, which is opposite to the other, is fixedly connected to the blowing plate. Springs are fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of each of the two blowing plates, which is opposite to the other. The anti-sticking component comprises a base. The bottom of the base contacts the inner wall of the shell. A column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the base. The top of the column penetrates through the base and is fixedly connected to a fixing frame. A scraping blade is fixedly connected to the rear side of the fixing frame. A rotating sleeve is slidably connected to the surface of the column. A placing plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating sleeve. A rotating mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom of the surface of the rotating sleeve.
[0008] The utility model is further arranged such that the circulation mechanism comprises a circulation shell. The front side of the circulation shell is fixedly connected to the shell. Filters are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the inner cavity of the circulation shell. Heating pipes are fixedly connected to one side of each of the two filters, which is opposite to the other. An air extractor is connected to the top of the circulation shell. The air inlet at the top of the air extractor is connected to the shell. The filter can filter dust and impurities in the air, preventing the dust from being transported to the blowing plate to block the air outlet holes when the hot air circulates. The heating pipe can heat the air to make it a hot air flow circulating inside the shell. The air extractor can extract the air inside the shell into the circulation shell for filtering and heating.
[0009] The utility model is further arranged such that the rotating mechanism comprises a driven gear. The inner wall of the driven gear is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating sleeve. A second motor is fixedly connected to the left side of the bottom of the base. The top of the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to a driving gear. The right side of the driving gear meshes with the driven gear. The driven gear can cooperate with the driving gear and the second motor to control the rotating sleeve and the placing plate to rotate, so that the Fructus Aurantii Immaturus slices on the top of the placing plate can be heated evenly.
[0010] The utility model is further arranged such that guide rails are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell. Sliders are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide rails. One side of each of the two sliders, which is opposite to the other, is fixedly connected to the base. The guide rails and the sliders can limit the base, enabling it to slide back and forth stably, facilitating the staff to pull the base and the placing plate out of the shell.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the side of the spring away from the blower plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, and the opposite sides of the two mounting brackets are movably connected to the blower plate through a rotating shaft. The spring can reset the blower plate when it is not compressed, and the rotating shaft can facilitate the up and down swing of the blower plate, thereby increasing its blowing range and blowing uniformity.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that temperature sensors are fixedly connected to both sides of the rear side of the inner cavity of the housing, and the surface of the rotating sleeve is movably connected to the base through a bearing. The temperature sensors can detect the temperature inside the housing, and the bearing can increase the stability of the rotating sleeve when it rotates.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a sealing door is movably connected to the front surface of the housing via a hinge, and an observation window is provided on the front side of the sealing door. The sealing door can open and close the housing, making it convenient for staff to take out the base and placement plate to pick up and put in the immature bitter orange. The observation window allows staff to easily observe the drying status of the immature bitter orange slices.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that a control panel is fixedly connected to the left side of the front surface of the housing, and support frames are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the housing. The control panel can adjust the internal temperature and wind speed of the housing, and the support frames can increase the stability of the housing.
[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.
[0016] 1. This utility model uses a uniform heating component to ensure that the immature bitter orange is heated evenly, preventing the immature bitter orange near the heat source from over-drying. The first motor controls the rotation of the turntable and the adjusting rod. The rotating adjusting rod presses the push plate, causing the push plate to control the swinging of the air blower. When the adjusting rod rotates to the other side, it no longer presses the push plate. At this time, the spring resets and controls the air blower to swing upward. By continuously swinging the air blower up and down, its air blowing range and uniformity are increased, so that hot air can be evenly blown onto the immature bitter orange stored on the top of the placement plate, so that it is heated and dried evenly, avoiding the situation where some immature bitter orange slices are over-dried.
[0017] 2. This utility model uses an anti-stick component to turn over the sliced bitter oranges, preventing them from sticking to the bottom during the drying process. Because the sliced bitter oranges have a high moisture content, the internal moisture will overflow during the drying process. This sugary liquid will cause the sliced bitter oranges to stick to the surface of the placement plate after drying, and they may also become scorched due to the drying effect of the hot airflow. By using the rotation of the placement plate while the column controls the fixing frame to remain stationary, the scraper installed on the fixing frame continuously turns over the sliced bitter oranges placed on the top of the placement plate, preventing them from sticking to the bottom.

The right side of the driving gear 673 is connected to the driven gear 671. 1. Engagement: Guide rails are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the inner cavity of housing 1. Sliders are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide rails. The opposite sides of the two sliders are fixedly connected to the base 61. The side of spring 55 away from the blower plate 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of housing 1. The opposite sides of the two mounting brackets 4 are movably connected to the blower plate 3 through a rotating shaft.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The dried slices of immature bitter orange are evenly stacked on top of the placement plate 66. The base 61 is pushed into the inner cavity of the housing 1 using the cooperation of the guide rail and slider. After closing the sealing door 7, the exhaust fan 24 and heating tube 23 are turned on. The exhaust fan 24 transports the air inside the housing 1 to the circulation shell 21. The heating tube 23 heats the air, causing the heated air to be blown out through the blower plate 3. The first motor 51 is turned on. The first motor 51, in conjunction with the turntable 52, controls the rotation of the adjusting rod 53. The rotation of the adjusting rod 53 compresses the push plate 54, causing the push plate 54 to contact the spring. 55 works in conjunction with the control of the blowing plate 3 to continuously oscillate, increasing its blowing range and uniformity, creating a rapidly flowing hot airflow inside the shell 1. This hot airflow quickly removes moisture from the bitter orange, ensuring even heating and drying, and preventing some bitter orange slices from over-drying. While drying the bitter orange slices, the second motor 672 is activated. The second motor 672 works in conjunction with the drive gear 673 to control the rotation of the driven gear 671. The rotation of the driven gear 671 controls the rotation of the rotating sleeve 65 and the placement plate 66. The rotation of the placement plate 66 improves the uniformity of heating of the bitter orange slices. At the same time, the scraper 64 flips the bitter orange slices to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
