Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air-drying device technology, and in particular to the design of an air-drying device for food. Background Technology

[0002] A crucial step in food processing is preservation, which extends shelf life and enhances flavor. Common preservation methods include freeze-drying and hot-air drying, with air drying being a particularly common technique. This method uses high-temperature hot air to dry food, maintaining its freshness and making it easier to store.

[0003] Currently, common food preservation and drying methods on the market usually involve external hanging and sun drying, using a dryer or hot air blower to dry the surface of the food. However, when drying meat products such as cured meat, dried chicken, and dried duck, it is necessary to use ropes to pre-fix the food. However, because these products are exposed to the outside during processing, they come into a lot of contact with external dust and other contaminants, making it difficult to guarantee food hygiene and safety. At the same time, the dryer dries the food in only one direction, resulting in incomplete drying. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a food preservation and drying device that effectively ensures the safety and uniformity of food drying.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a food preservation and drying device, including a box, a drying module, a draining module, a rotation drive assembly, and a food clamping assembly.

[0006] The air-drying module is located at the back of the box, the draining module is detachably located at the bottom of the box, the food clamping component is connected to the rotation drive component, and the food clamping component is suspended inside the box.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotation drive assembly includes a drive motor, a rotating plate, and a connecting plate. The drive motor is fixed to the top of the housing, and the drive shaft of the drive motor is connected to the middle of the rotating plate. The connecting plate is located below the rotating plate, and the middle of the connecting plate is connected to the middle of the rotating plate via a connecting rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the food gripping assembly includes multiple sets of grippers, which are circumferentially spaced at the bottom of the connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the gripper includes a telescopic cylinder, a connecting column, a piston rod, a fixing frame, a crossbar, an adjusting arm, a guide block, and a clamping plate;

[0010] The telescopic cylinder is fixed to the connecting plate, and the fixing frame is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate through the connecting column. One end of the piston rod passes through the connecting column and is connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder. The other end of the piston rod is connected to the crossbar, and both ends of the crossbar are movably connected to an adjusting arm through a pin. The bottom of each adjusting arm is connected to a guide block through a pin. The bottom of the fixing frame is provided with a guide groove, and two guide blocks are movably connected in the guide groove and move left and right along the direction of the guide groove. A clamping plate is installed at the bottom of each of the two guide blocks, and a fixing cone is provided on the opposite surface of each of the two clamping plates.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a support rod, which is fixed to the middle of the connecting plate. The support rod is equipped with a fixing plate, which is fixedly connected to the surrounding fixing frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the drying module is a hot air blower; the inner surface of the back of the housing is equipped with a water blowing plate and a hot air outlet, with the hot air blower facing the hot air outlet.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be further described below.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes a food preservation and drying device, which consists of a box 1, a drying module, a draining module, a rotation drive assembly, and a food clamping assembly.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the rotation drive assembly consists of a drive motor 4, a rotating plate 5, and a connecting plate 6. The drive motor 4 is fixed to the top of the housing 1, and the drive shaft of the drive motor 4 is connected to the middle of the rotating plate 5. The connecting plate 6 is located below the rotating plate 5, and the middle of the connecting plate 6 is connected to the middle of the rotating plate through a connecting rod.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the food gripping assembly includes four sets of grippers, which are circumferentially spaced at the bottom of the connecting plate 6. Each set of grippers consists of a telescopic cylinder 7, a connecting column 8, a piston rod 9, a fixing frame 10, a crossbar 11, an adjusting arm 12, a guide block 13, and a clamping plate 14. The telescopic cylinder 7 is fixed to the connecting plate 6, and the fixing frame 10 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 6 via the connecting column 8. One end of the piston rod 9 passes through the connecting column 8 and is connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 7; the other end of the piston rod 9 is connected to the crossbar 11, and both ends of the crossbar 11 are movably connected to an adjusting arm 12 via pins. The bottom of each adjusting arm 12 is connected to a guide block 13 via a pin. The bottom of the fixing frame 10 has a guide groove, and two guide blocks 13 are movably connected in the guide groove, moving left and right along the direction of the guide groove. A clamping plate 14 is installed at the bottom of each of the two guide blocks 13, and a fixing cone 15 is provided on the opposite surface of each of the two clamping plates 14.

[0027] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the gripper, a support rod 16 is also included. The support rod 16 is fixed to the middle of the connecting plate 6, and a fixing plate 17 is provided on the support rod 16. The fixing plate 17 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 10 around the perimeter.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the air drying module is a hot air blower 18; the inner surface of the back of the box 1 is provided with a water blowing plate 19 and a hot air outlet 20, and the hot air blower 18 is positioned facing the hot air outlet 20; the draining module includes a draining plate 22 located at the bottom of the box 1 and a drain box 21 located below the box 1; the inside of the box 1 is connected to the inside of the drain box 21 through the draining plate 22, and a ventilation duct 23 is provided on the side wall of the box 1.

[0029] The working principle of the food preservation and drying device of this utility model is as follows: The operator first opens the box door 3 through the handle 2. At this time, the food is initially hung on the surface of the fixed cone 15. Then, the operator starts the telescopic cylinder 7, which drives the piston rod 9 to move upward. At this time, the crossbar 11 moves upward and drives the adjusting arm 12 to perform transmission. At this time, the guide block 13 located inside the guide groove slides relative to each other, thereby driving the clamping plate 14 and the fixed cone 15 to clamp the food. Then the food is fixed and the box door 3 is closed.

[0030] When the drive motor 4 starts, it drives the rotating plate 5 to rotate, causing the food to rotate inside. Then, the hot air blower 18 is started, and the food is dried through the water blowing plate 19 and the hot air outlet 20. The water droplets generated by the drying through the water blowing plate 19 fall into the drain box 21 through the drain plate 22. Personnel can pull the drain box 21 to discharge the sewage.

[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions and contents disclosed in this utility model without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
