Detailed Implementation

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention proposes a fruit and vegetable steam blanching device, which includes a frame 1, a water tank 2, a conveying pipe 14, a conveying cylinder 16, a feeding hopper 17, a guide plate 18, a fan 20 and a partition plate 21.

[0031] Partition 21 connects to the inner wall of frame 1, and partition 21 divides the inner part of frame 1 into steam chamber and cooling chamber. Conveying cylinder 16 rotatably connects frame 1 and partition 21. Frame 1 is provided with a drive assembly, which is connected to conveying cylinder 16. Conveying cylinder 16 is provided with spiral blade 12 and multiple through holes.

[0032] Furthermore, a material guide section 19 is provided on the frame 1, which is located below the discharge port of the conveying cylinder 16, and a collection box 8 is provided below the material guide section 19;

[0033] The guide plate 18 connects the partition plate 21 and the inner wall of the frame 1. The guide plate 18 is located above the conveying cylinder 16. The hopper 17 is connected to the inner wall of the frame 1. The hopper 17 is located below the conveying cylinder 16. Both the hopper 17 and the guide plate 18 are located inside the steam chamber.

[0034] Furthermore, the projected shape of the guide plate 18 is an inverted V-shape. Water droplets condensed from water vapor flow along the inclined surface of the guide plate 18 to the inner wall of the frame 1, and then flow to the feed hopper 17.

[0035] A steam generator 11 is provided on the frame 1, and multiple nozzles 15 are provided on the steam generator 11. The delivery pipe 14 connects the steam generator 11 and the water tank 2.

[0036] A fixed frame 10 is provided on the frame 1. A fan 20 is connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 10. The fan 20 is located in the cooling chamber. A filter screen 9 is provided at the end of the fixed frame 10 away from the cooling chamber.

[0037] In this invention, the drive assembly rotates the conveyor cylinder 16, feeding fruits and vegetables into the conveyor cylinder 16. The fruits and vegetables slowly tumble inside the conveyor cylinder 16 and move towards the discharge port. The steam generator 11 generates steam, which is input into the steam chamber to blanch the fruits and vegetables. After blanching, the fruits and vegetables gradually move into the cooling chamber, where a fan cools them. The steam chamber is equipped with a guide plate 18. When the steam comes into contact with the cool guide plate 18, it liquefies into water droplets. The water droplets flow along the inclined guide plate 18 to the inner wall of the frame 1 and flow out from the hopper 17. The slow tumbling of the fruits and vegetables inside the conveyor cylinder 16 makes the blanching more uniform and thorough without causing damage. The filter screen 9 on the fixed frame 10 prevents external dust and other contaminants from entering the frame 1.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention proposes a fruit and vegetable steam blanching device. Compared with the first embodiment, the feeding port of the conveying cylinder 16 in this embodiment is provided with a feeding hopper 3. The inner diameter of the feeding hopper 3 gradually decreases along the axial direction of the conveying cylinder 16 in the direction away from the conveying cylinder 16.

[0040] Furthermore, the feed port of the feed hopper 3 is provided with multiple rubber baffles 13, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the feed hopper 3, and the shape of the rubber baffles 13 is fan-shaped.

[0041] In this embodiment, fruits and vegetables are put into the conveying cylinder 16. The fruits and vegetables enter the interior of the conveying cylinder 16 from the feeding hopper 3. The rubber baffle 13 at the end of the feeding hopper 3 prevents the internal steam from leaking out.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the fruit and vegetable steam blanching device proposed in this utility model, compared with Embodiment 1, the driving component in this embodiment includes a driven pulley 4, a transmission belt 5 and a driving pulley 6;

[0044] Driven pulley 4 is connected to conveyor cylinder 16 and is coaxially distributed with conveyor cylinder 16. Drive pulley 6 is rotatably connected to frame 1. Frame 1 is equipped with drive motor 7. Drive motor 7 is connected to drive pulley 6.

[0045] The transmission belt 5 is connected to the driving pulley 6 and the driven pulley 4, and the inner circumferential surface of the transmission belt 5 is pressed against the outer circumferential surface of the driving pulley 6 and the driven pulley 4.

[0046] Furthermore, both the driving pulley 6 and the driven pulley 4 have grooves on their outer circumferential surfaces, and the transmission belt 5 is connected to these grooves.

[0047] In this embodiment, the drive motor 7 starts and drives the active pulley 6 to rotate. The active pulley 6 is connected to the transmission belt 5 and the driven pulley 4 through a transmission cooperation. The driven pulley 4 drives the conveyor drum 16 to rotate on the frame 1.

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
