Description

A dishwashing dryer Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tableware drying technology, and more specifically, to a tableware drying machine after cleaning. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the catering industry, the importance of tableware dryers after cleaning has become increasingly prominent. In the past, restaurants mostly relied on natural air drying or simple wiping, which was inefficient and prone to bacterial growth. Nowadays, people have extremely high requirements for food hygiene, and tableware drying has become a key link. According to statistics, a medium-sized restaurant needs to clean and dry thousands of pieces of tableware every day. The heavy task has led to the emergence of dryers. They can not only quickly remove moisture from the surface of tableware and reduce the breeding ground for bacteria, but also improve the turnover speed of tableware and ensure that diners can use them as soon as they arrive. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of food hygiene regulations, the standardized use of dryers has also become an essential means for catering enterprises to operate in compliance and build a good brand image.

[0003] Existing dishwashing dryers have revealed significant problems. Their operating mode typically involves placing the washed dishes in a fixed position within the chamber to receive hot air treatment. However, in reality, it's difficult for hot air to directly reach areas such as the recessed bottoms of bowls and plates, the gaps inside the chopstick holder, and the middle sections of stacked plates. As a result, the dryer has to rely on heating the entire chamber to slowly evaporate and remove moisture from these hard-to-reach areas, greatly reducing drying efficiency and hindering the rapid turnover of dishes. Therefore, improvements and optimizations are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a tableware drying machine after cleaning, which has the advantage of being able to dry tableware thoroughly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tableware drying machine, comprising a drying cabinet, a circulation assembly rotatably mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the drying cabinet, the circulation assembly including gears rotatably mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the drying cabinet, a first gear groove formed on the inner walls of both sides of the drying cabinet with the gears located inside the first gear groove, a transmission rod fixedly connected between the two gears, a second gear groove formed on the inner walls of both sides of the drying cabinet and communicating with the first gear groove, a transmission gear rotatably mounted inside the second gear groove and meshing with the transmission rod, a first double-track synchronous pulley fixedly mounted on the side of the transmission gear, a second double-cabinet synchronous pulley rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the drying cabinet, the first double-track synchronous pulley and the second double-cabinet synchronous pulley being connected by a synchronous belt, a motor housing fixedly mounted on the side of the drying cabinet, a motor fixedly mounted inside the motor housing with the motor's output shaft extending to the inner side of the drying cabinet and fixedly connected to the gears, a placement assembly between the two synchronous belts, and a drying assembly fixedly mounted on the top of the drying cabinet.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the drying assembly includes a blower fixedly installed on the top of the drying cabinet, a hot air blower fixedly installed on the top of the drying cabinet, the blower and the hot air blower being interconnected via a transmission pipe, the output end of the hot air blower being fixedly connected to a connecting pipe and interconnected, the two ends of the connecting pipe being fixedly connected to connecting pipes and interconnected, the two ends of the connecting pipe being fixedly installed with connecting blocks, the bottom ends of the connecting blocks being fixedly connected to conveying pipes and interconnected, and the outer surface of the conveying pipes being fixedly installed with nozzles that are interconnected and face towards the placement assembly.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the placement component includes a fixing block fixedly installed on the outer surface of the synchronous belt, an L-shaped lifting block rotatably installed inside the fixing block, and both ends of the L-shaped lifting block passing through the interior of the fixing block. A limit block is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing block, and a placement frame is fixedly installed between the other ends of the two L-shaped lifting blocks, and a through groove is opened on the outer surface of the placement frame.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the placement rack is equipped with a tableware divider inside, which is arranged in a uniformly spaced pattern.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a collection trough is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the drying cabinet, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected inside the collection trough and extends through the collection trough to the outside of the drying cabinet. A rotary valve is threaded inside the drain pipe.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the drying cabinet has a door movably installed on its front side, the drying cabinet and the door are hinged together by hinges, and a handle is fixedly installed on the front side of the door.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying cabinet, and the base is fixedly installed around the bottom of the drying cabinet. A protective shell is fixedly installed at the top of the drying cabinet, and the drying components are located inside the protective shell.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model utilizes a gear mechanism. When the gears begin to rotate, they mesh with each other, driving the transmission gears to rotate. When the transmission gears rotate, they drive the first double-track synchronous wheel to rotate. When the first double-track synchronous wheel rotates, it drives the second double-cabinet synchronous wheel to rotate via a synchronous belt. Thus, the synchronous belts on both sides rotate synchronously, causing the tableware inside the placement component to move in a cyclical manner. Compared to traditional devices, this device uses a motor to drive the gears, which in turn drive the transmission rod, the gears on both sides, and the transmission gear to rotate sequentially. Ultimately, this causes the first double-track synchronous wheel to rotate and, with the help of the synchronous belt, causes the second double-cabinet synchronous wheel to rotate synchronously. This enables the tableware inside the placement component to move in a cyclical manner, preventing the tableware from sitting still and waiting to dry. All surfaces and corners can fully contact the hot air, greatly accelerating the drying speed and improving drying efficiency. This saves a lot of time for tableware processing in catering establishments and ensures that tableware can be quickly turned over and put into use.

[0014] 2. This utility model transmits hot air through a connecting pipe to two connecting pipes. Then, the two ends of the two connecting pipes transmit hot air to the inside of the connecting block. Then, the four connecting blocks transmit hot air to the conveying pipe. The conveying pipe then sprays the hot air through nozzles towards the placement component. Compared with the traditional device, this device allows the hot air to flow precisely to the two connecting pipes through the connecting pipe, and then the hot air is evenly distributed to the inside of the connecting block from both ends. The four connecting blocks relay the hot air to the conveying pipe, and finally, the nozzles spray it directionally towards the placement component. Since the nozzles are all facing the placement component, it ensures that the hot air distribution inside the drying cabinet is uniform, and the tableware is heated evenly throughout, which greatly improves the drying effect, shortens the drying time, and ensures efficient and high-quality drying of the tableware.

[0021] 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.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, this utility model provides a tableware drying machine, including a drying cabinet 1. A circulation assembly 3 is rotatably installed on the inner walls of both sides of the drying cabinet 1. The circulation assembly 3 includes gears 303 rotatably installed on the inner walls of both sides of the drying cabinet 1. First gear grooves 301 are formed on the inner walls of both sides of the drying cabinet 1, and the gears 303 are located inside the first gear grooves 301. A transmission rod 305 is fixedly connected between the two gears 303. Second gear grooves 302 are formed on the inner walls of both sides of the drying cabinet 1, and the second gear grooves 302 are interconnected with the first gear grooves 301. A transmission gear 304 is rotatably installed inside the second gear groove 302. Furthermore, the transmission gear 304 meshes with the transmission rod 305, and a first double-track synchronous pulley 308 is fixedly installed on the side of the transmission gear 304. A second double-cabinet synchronous pulley 309 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the drying cabinet 1. The first double-track synchronous pulley 308 and the second double-cabinet synchronous pulley 309 are connected by a synchronous belt 310. A motor housing 306 is fixedly installed on the side of the drying cabinet 1. A motor 307 is fixedly installed inside the motor housing 306, and the output shaft of the motor 307 extends to the inside of the drying cabinet 1 and is fixedly connected to the gear 303. A placement component 5 is provided between the two synchronous belts 310, and a drying component 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the drying cabinet 1.

[0023] When the staff places the cleaned tableware into the placement component 5, the drying component 4 and the placement component 5 are started by the external controller. Then, the output shaft of the motor 307 will drive the gear 303 to start rotating. When the gear 303 starts rotating, it will drive the transmission rod 305 to start rotating. When the gear 303 starts rotating, it will drive the transmission gear 304 to start rotating through mutual meshing. When the transmission gear 304 starts rotating, it will drive the first double-track synchronous pulley 308 to start rotating. When the first double-track synchronous pulley 308 starts rotating, it will drive the second double-cabinet synchronous pulley 309 to start rotating through the synchronous belt 310. Thus, the synchronous belts 310 on both sides rotate synchronously, which will drive the tableware inside the placement component 5 to move in a cycle. Together with the drying component 4, the tableware in the placement component 5 will be dried, so that all surfaces and corners of the tableware can be dried by hot air, thus speeding up the drying process.

[0024] When gear 303 starts to rotate, it will drive transmission gear 304 to rotate through mutual meshing. When transmission gear 304 starts to rotate, it will drive the first double-track synchronous pulley 308 to rotate. When the first double-track synchronous pulley 308 starts to rotate, it will drive the second double-cabinet synchronous pulley 309 to rotate through the synchronous belt 310. Thus, the synchronous belts 310 on both sides rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the tableware inside the placement component 5 to move in a cycle. Compared with the traditional device, this device drives gear 303 to rotate through motor 307, which in turn drives transmission rod 305, gears 303 on both sides and transmission gear 304 to rotate in sequence. Finally, it causes the first double-track synchronous pulley 308 to rotate and the second double-cabinet synchronous pulley 309 to rotate synchronously through synchronous belt 310. This realizes the cyclical movement of tableware inside the placement component 5, so that the tableware is no longer stationary waiting for drying. All surfaces and corners can fully contact the hot air, which greatly speeds up the drying speed, improves the drying efficiency, saves a lot of time for tableware processing in catering establishments, and ensures that tableware can be quickly turned over and put into use.

[0025] The drying component 4 includes a blower 401 fixedly installed on the top of the drying cabinet 1, a hot air blower 402 fixedly installed on the top of the drying cabinet 1, the blower 401 and the hot air blower 402 being interconnected through a transmission pipe 403, the output end of the hot air blower 402 being fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 404 and being interconnected, the two ends of the connecting pipe 404 being fixedly connected to connecting pipes 405 and being interconnected, the two ends of the connecting pipe 405 being fixedly installed with connecting blocks 406, the bottom ends of the connecting blocks 406 being fixedly connected to conveying pipes 407 and being interconnected, the outer surface of the conveying pipes 407 being fixedly installed with nozzles 408 and being interconnected and facing the placement component 5.

[0026] When the blower 401 is started by the external controller, the air from the blower 401 is delivered to the hot air blower 402 through the transmission pipe 403 for heating. The heated air is then transmitted through the connecting pipe 404 to the two connecting pipes 405. The two connecting pipes 405 then transmit the hot air to the inside of the connecting block 406. The four connecting blocks 406 then transmit the hot air to the conveying pipe 407. The conveying pipe 407 then sprays the hot air through the nozzles 408 toward the placement component 5, and all nozzles 408 are oriented toward the placement component 5, thus ensuring a uniform hot air content inside the drying cabinet 1.

[0027] The hot air is transmitted through the connecting pipe 404 to the two connecting pipes 405. Then, the two ends of the two connecting pipes 405 transmit the hot air to the inside of the connecting block 406. Then, the four connecting blocks 406 transmit the hot air to the conveying pipe 407. Then, the conveying pipe 407 sprays the hot air through the nozzle 408 towards the placement component 5. Compared with the traditional device, the hot air in this device flows precisely through the connecting pipe 404 to the two connecting pipes 405. Then, the hot air is evenly distributed to the inside of the connecting block 406 from both ends. The four connecting blocks 406 relay the hot air to the conveying pipe 407. Finally, the hot air is sprayed out directionally towards the placement component 5 by the nozzle 408. Since the nozzles 408 are all facing the placement component 5, it ensures that the hot air distribution inside the drying cabinet 1 is uniform, and the tableware is heated evenly throughout, which greatly improves the drying effect, shortens the drying time, and ensures efficient and high-quality drying of the tableware.

[0028] The placement component 5 includes a timing belt 310 with a fixing block 501 fixedly installed on its outer surface. An L-shaped lifting block 502 is rotatably installed inside the fixing block 501, with both ends of the L-shaped lifting block 502 penetrating inside the fixing block 501. A limit block 505 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing block 501, and a placement frame 503 is fixedly installed between the other ends of the two L-shaped lifting blocks 502. A through groove is provided on the outer surface of the placement frame 503.

[0029] Two synchronous belts 310 drive the fixed block 501 to move cyclically. After the cleaned tableware is placed in the rack 503, under the weight of the tableware and the rack 503, when the rack 503 moves to the upper and lower ends of the first double-track synchronous wheel 308 and the second double-cabinet synchronous wheel 309, the rack 503 will rotate around the horizontal ends of the L-shaped hanging blocks 502 on both sides as the axis, and will always be in a horizontal state to prevent the rack 503 from tipping over during movement. The through grooves opened on the outer surface of the rack 503 increase the drying effect, and the limiting block 505 effectively limits the L-shaped hanging blocks 502.

[0030] The tableware divider 504 is fixedly installed inside the rack 503 and is arranged in a uniformly spaced manner.

[0031] The tableware rack 504 is fixedly installed inside the rack 503 and is arranged in a uniformly spaced manner, which can evenly place the tableware and avoid stacking it, thus affecting the drying effect.

[0032] The drying cabinet 1 has a collection trough 9 fixedly installed on the inner bottom. The inside of the collection trough 9 is connected to a drain pipe 10, and the drain pipe 10 extends through the collection trough 9 and the drain pipe 10 to the outside of the drying cabinet 1. The drain pipe 10 is threaded with a rotary valve 11.

[0033] The water droplets generated during drying can be easily collected by the collection tank 9, and then the rotary valve 11 can be turned to disconnect from the drain pipe 10, so that the collected water can be quickly discharged.

[0034] The drying cabinet 1 has a cabinet door 7 that is movably installed on its front. The drying cabinet 1 and the cabinet door 7 are hinged together by a hinge 6. A handle 8 is fixedly installed on the front of the cabinet door 7.

[0035] Pulling the handle 8 outward with external force will cause the cabinet door 7 to start flipping. At the same time, the hinge 6 provides rotational support for the flipping of the cabinet door 7, thereby enabling the drying cabinet 1 to close and open, thus increasing the sealing effect and assisting the drying component 4 in drying.

[0036] The drying cabinet 1 has a base 12 fixedly installed at the bottom, and the base 12 is fixedly installed around the bottom of the drying cabinet 1. The drying cabinet 1 has a protective shell 2 fixedly installed at the top, and the drying component 4 is located inside the protective shell 2.

[0037] The base 12 is fixedly installed around the bottom of the drying cabinet 1, which can effectively increase the stability of the entire device and avoid being easily affected by external physical factors. At the same time, the protective shell 2 can effectively increase the protection of the drying components 4.

[0038] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0039] When the staff places the cleaned tableware into the placement component 5, the drying component 4 and the placement component 5 are started by the external controller. Then, the output shaft of the motor 307 will drive the gear 303 to start rotating. When the gear 303 starts rotating, it will drive the transmission rod 305 to start rotating. When the gear 303 starts rotating, it will drive the transmission gear 304 to start rotating through mutual meshing. When the transmission gear 304 starts rotating, it will drive the first double-track synchronous pulley 308 to start rotating. When the first double-track synchronous pulley 308 starts rotating, it will drive the second double-cabinet synchronous pulley 309 to start rotating through the synchronous belt 310. Thus, the synchronous belts 310 on both sides rotate synchronously, which will drive the tableware inside the placement component 5 to move in a cycle. Together with the drying component 4, the tableware in the placement component 5 will be dried, so that all surfaces and corners of the tableware can be dried by hot air, thus speeding up the drying process.

[0040] When the blower 401 is started by the external controller, the air from the blower 401 is delivered to the hot air blower 402 through the transmission pipe 403 for heating. The heated air is then transmitted through the connecting pipe 404 to the two connecting pipes 405. The two connecting pipes 405 then transmit the hot air to the inside of the connecting block 406. The four connecting blocks 406 then transmit the hot air to the conveying pipe 407. The conveying pipe 407 then sprays the hot air through the nozzles 408 toward the placement component 5, and all nozzles 408 are oriented toward the placement component 5, thus ensuring a uniform hot air content inside the drying cabinet 1.
