Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bamboo chopsticks production technology, specifically to an intelligent segmented drying device for bamboo chopsticks. Background Technology
[0002] Bamboo chopsticks are long, thin sticks held between the fingers to pick up food or other items. They are mostly used as tableware and are made of bamboo, wood, ivory, bone, metal, etc. They come in various shapes, such as square or round. Bamboo chopsticks need to be cleaned during production and then dried using drying equipment.
[0003] Currently, when drying bamboo chopsticks in a drying oven, they are usually placed on a drying rack. However, when a large number of bamboo chopsticks are placed, it is not easy to control the gaps between them. When the bamboo chopsticks are pressed together, it is easy to cause uneven heating and affect the drying effect. Therefore, there is a need for an intelligent segmented drying device for bamboo chopsticks. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent segmented drying device for bamboo chopsticks, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] This application provides an intelligent segmented drying device for bamboo chopsticks, including a housing. A motor is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the housing. The output shaft of the motor passes through the interior of the housing and is fixedly connected to a fixing block. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing block away from the output shaft of the motor. Three adjusting blocks are slidably connected to the fixing rod. Fastening screws are threaded through the upper and lower ends of the three adjusting blocks. The fastening screws abut against the outer wall of the fixing rod. The front wall of each of the three adjusting blocks has multiple slots along its length that are adapted to the size of the bamboo chopsticks.
[0006] In use, the spacing between multiple adjusting blocks can be adjusted by sliding them on the fixed rod, accommodating bamboo chopsticks of different lengths. After adjustment, the adjusting blocks are locked by tightening the screws. Then, the staff inserts the bamboo chopsticks into the slots on the adjusting blocks for quick installation. Since the slots are compatible with the bamboo chopsticks, no complicated operations are required; simply inserting the chopsticks into the slots completes the installation, ensuring a certain distance between each chopstick to prevent them from sticking together. Simultaneously, the motor's output shaft rotates the fixed and adjusting blocks, thus flipping the bamboo chopsticks and further improving the uniformity of drying. The partitions create three chambers inside the chamber. The PLC controller can control the heaters in each of the three chambers to heat at different temperatures, achieving preheating, drying, and cooling of the bamboo chopsticks. The preheating chamber temperature is 50°C, the drying chamber is 80°C, and the cooling chamber is 30°C. Installing the bamboo chopsticks corresponding to the drying stage in the corresponding temperature chamber allows for segmented drying, reducing cracking and deformation, making it convenient and practical.
[0007] Optionally, the box body has two partitions that are symmetrically engaged internally, and both partitions have an insulation layer installed inside.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the partition can form three chambers inside the box, and different temperatures can be set to dry bamboo chopsticks in sections at different drying stages, reducing cracking and deformation of the bamboo chopsticks. In addition, the heat insulation layer can prevent heat transfer between each chamber, improving the temperature control accuracy of each chamber.
[0009] Optionally, three fixing blocks are provided, and the three fixing blocks are alternately arranged with two partitions.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the three fixed blocks can be located in the three chambers respectively, and with the help of three motors, the rotation speed of the fixed block in each chamber can be adjusted individually according to actual use.
[0011] Optionally, three heaters are fixedly connected to the top of the interior of the housing, and the three heaters are alternately arranged with two partitions. A PLC controller is installed on one outer wall of the housing.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the three heaters can be located in three chambers respectively, and the different temperatures in the three chambers can be controlled by the PLC controller.
[0013] Optionally, the front wall of the enclosure is provided with a three-door sealed door.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easier to open or close the enclosure.
[0015] Optionally, two fixing rods are provided, and the two fixing rods are arranged symmetrically on the left and right.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, it is beneficial to achieve stable support for the adjusting block.
[0017] Optionally, the adjusting block has through holes at both its upper and lower ends, and the through holes are connected to the slot.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, hot air can enter the slot through the through hole to evenly dry one end of the bamboo chopsticks inserted in the slot.
[0019] Optionally, an exhaust port is provided at the top of the housing.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, it is beneficial to remove moisture from inside the box.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application are as follows:
[0022] The technical solution of this application allows for the adjustment of the spacing between multiple adjusting blocks by sliding them on a fixed rod, thus accommodating bamboo chopsticks of different lengths. After adjustment, the adjusting blocks are locked by tightening screws. Then, the bamboo chopsticks are inserted into the slots on the multiple adjusting blocks in sequence, enabling the installation of a large number of bamboo chopsticks while maintaining a certain distance between each chopstick to prevent them from sticking together. At the same time, the fixed blocks and adjusting blocks are rotated by the output shaft of the motor, which further improves the uniformity of drying the bamboo chopsticks and increases production efficiency.
