Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible fungi drying and processing technology, and in particular to a microwave vacuum drying device for edible fungi. Background Technology

[0002] Edible fungi refer to fungi that can be consumed by humans, usually those fungi with relatively large fruiting bodies (i.e., the "mushroom" part we commonly see).

[0003] In the prior art, a search revealed a Chinese patent that discloses a "microwave vacuum drying device for edible fungi", with application number "CN 209147581 U". This patent mainly includes a shell with an opening at the top, and an insertable drying rack inside the shell. The drying rack includes a top plate and a placement plate that are distributed parallel from top to bottom. The inner wall of the shell is provided with an annular baffle that protrudes into the shell. The annular baffle is used to support the edge of the top plate after the drying rack is inserted into the shell. The shell is also provided with a microwave heating device and a negative pressure device. This invention inserts a drying rack containing edible fungi into a housing. An annular baffle on the inner wall of the housing supports the drying rack, enabling microwave heating and vacuum drying. It is convenient to use and ideal for low-volume production in workshops. Simultaneously, microwaves generated by a magnetron are fed into the housing through a microwave inlet for radiation energy transfer, directly heating the edible fungi without the need for other heat transfer media. The negative pressure also allows for timely removal of steam generated during heating, resulting in fast drying speed, high efficiency, a significantly shortened drying cycle, and reduced energy consumption. However, the aforementioned device cannot turn the edible fungi over during heating, continuously heating only one side. This results in the surface of the fungi being dried, but the bottom not being completely dried, requiring prolonged heating and potentially damaging the nutritional components of the fungi due to high-temperature drying. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a microwave vacuum drying device for edible fungi, which can turn the edible fungi over so that they are heated evenly, avoiding the damage to the nutritional components of edible fungi caused by traditional high-temperature drying, and preserving their natural active substances and nutritional value to the maximum extent.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a microwave vacuum drying device for edible fungi is provided, comprising an outer shell, a flipping mechanism and a fixing mechanism provided on the side of the outer shell.

[0008] According to the microwave vacuum drying device for edible fungi, the fixing plate is located on the side of the outer shell and is fixedly connected to the side of the outer shell. The device operates better by fixing the fixing plate to the side of the outer shell.

[0009] According to the microwave vacuum drying device for edible fungi, the first rotating column is positioned inside the fixed plate and is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed plate. This rotatable connection allows the first rotating column to rotate more stably.

[0010] According to the microwave vacuum drying device for edible fungi, the placement box is positioned inside the sliding groove, and the placement box is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove. By sliding the placement box to the inside of the sliding groove, the placement box can move more stably left and right when it moves left and right.

[0011] According to the microwave vacuum drying device for edible fungi, the movable long plate is positioned inside the outer shell and is slidably connected to the inside of the outer shell. By sliding the movable long plate to the inside of the outer shell, the movable long plate can move more stably left and right when it moves, thanks to the limiting effect of the outer shell.

[0012] According to the microwave vacuum drying device for edible fungi, the door panel is located on the side of the outer shell and is rotatably connected to the side of the outer shell. This rotatable connection between the door panel and the side of the outer shell allows for better operation of the device.

[0013] According to the microwave vacuum drying device for edible fungi, the fixing column is located at the lower end of the card plate, and the fixing column is engaged with the card plate, thereby fixing the device.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

The sliding groove design allows the moving plate to move left and right, which in turn moves the storage box, causing the fungi to turn over. This ensures even heating of the fungi, avoiding the damage to nutrients caused by traditional high-temperature drying and maximizing the preservation of their natural active substances and nutritional value.

[0016] 2. Compared with the existing technology, by pulling the air valve and then rotating the clamping plate, the door panel is opened. When the door panel is closed, the door panel is pushed first, which causes the clamping plate to hit the fixed column. Then, through the setting of the triangular block on the side of the clamping plate, the clamping plate is moved upward. Then, through the setting of the torsion spring rod, the clamping plate is restored and then the device is locked, thereby further enhancing the practicality of the device.
