AI Technical Summary
Traditional squid drying processes suffer from low efficiency, uneven heating, and high product breakage rates. Existing equipment struggles to achieve continuous and uniform turning of the squid.
Employing a multi-angle flipping structure, a servo motor drives a rotating rod to rotate gears and clamps, flipping the squid horizontally and vertically. Combined with an electric telescopic rod pushing a pusher block, this ensures continuous and even flipping of the squid, preventing damage caused by vibration.
This ensures uniform heating of the squid, reduces breakage rate, and guarantees the synchronicity and thoroughness of the drying process.

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of squid seafood food processing technology, specifically, it relates to an automatic turning device for drying seafood. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional squid drying relies on manual turning, which results in low efficiency, uneven heating, and a high product breakage rate.
[0003] The prior art discloses a double-sided high-efficiency drying device for squid drying (CN202222544538.1), including: a drying box, a placement plate arranged inside the drying box, the middle parts of the left and right sides of the placement plate being fixedly connected to the inner ends of a coaxially arranged drive shaft, the outer end of one drive shaft being fixedly connected to the middle part of a drive gear, a rack plate being arranged on the outer side of the drive gear, the rack plate cooperating with the drive gear, and a mounting groove opening to the outside of the box door being arranged in the middle of the placement plate, and a carrying plate being arranged in the mounting groove.
[0004] Existing technology uses a hydraulic telescopic rod to reciprocate, driving a rack plate to reciprocate, which in turn drives a gear to rotate a placement plate to turn the squid inside the drying chamber. The placement plate rotates clockwise and counterclockwise alternately, making it difficult to keep the squid turning in one direction continuously. The squid experiences significant vibrations from the alternating clockwise and counterclockwise rotations, which can easily cause the squid to break during the drying process.
[0005] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] To solve the aforementioned technical problem of asynchronous drying of squid, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an automatic turning device for drying seafood, including a drying box set above the ground;
[0007] The multi-angle flipping structure is located inside the drying chamber and includes a pusher block, gears, and racks. Inside the drying chamber, there is a rotating rod that rotates the seafood vertically. Two racks are installed on the wall of the rotating rod, and a pusher block is installed at one end of each rack to push the racks. Several gears are installed on one side of each rack, and each gear meshes with the corresponding rack. Clamping plates are installed on both sides of each gear to hold the seafood.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the multi-angle flipping structure further includes a sliding groove, a collar, and a first connecting strip. Two sliding grooves are formed on the wall of the rotating rod, and the bottom ends of the two racks are slidably connected to one of the sliding grooves. A collar is provided on the wall of the rotating rod, and two sliding blocks are fixed on the inner wall of the collar. Each of the two sliding blocks is slidably connected to one of the sliding grooves. One end of each of the two racks is fixedly connected to one end of a first connecting strip, and the other end of the two first connecting strips is fixedly connected to one side of the collar. The collar is disposed inside the push block and is rotatably connected to the push block.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the drying box, and a servo motor is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the drying box via a bracket, with the rotating shaft of the servo motor fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the multi-angle flipping structure further includes a fixing block, with one fixing block on each side of the two racks, all gears being rotatably connected to one side of a fixing block, and the bottom surface of the fixing block being fixedly connected to the wall surface of the rotating rod.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the multi-angle flipping structure further includes a second connecting strip. A second connecting strip is provided on one side of each gear. One end of each second connecting strip passes through a gear and a fixing block. The second connecting strip is fixedly connected to the gear and rotatably connected to the fixing block. Both ends of each second connecting strip are fixedly connected to one side of a clamping plate.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the two clamping plates are hinged to the top of another clamping plate, and a magnetic block is fixed on the side of each clamping plate away from the second connecting strip.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an electric telescopic rod is fixedly provided on the outside of the drying box, and the output shaft of the electric telescopic rod extends into the drying box and is fixedly connected to one side of the push block.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. The servo motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the collar, gears, racks, and all clamping plates to rotate vertically, causing the squid to rotate continuously 360 degrees laterally. This allows the squid to be flipped over continuously in one direction with minimal vibration. The output end of the electric telescopic rod pushes the push block, and the collar is rotatably connected to the push block through the bearing. The collar then drives the first connecting bar, and the two first connecting bars push the two racks to slide in the slide groove. All the gears drive the clamping plates on both sides and the squid to rotate 360 degrees laterally. The squid can rotate both laterally and vertically, ensuring that each side of the squid is heated evenly, and drying is synchronous and thorough.
[0016] 2. Only one squid is placed between each pair of clamps. The squid do not touch each other, so they will not stick together and will not break.
[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

The multi-angle flipping structure also includes a second connecting strip 15. One second connecting strip 15 is set on one side of each gear 8. 5. One end of each second connecting bar 15 passes through a gear 8 and a fixing block 6. The second connecting bar 15 is fixedly connected to the gear 8 and rotatably connected to the fixing block 6. Both ends of each second connecting bar 15 are fixedly connected to one side of a clamping plate 5. The top of the two clamping plates 5 is hinged to another clamping plate 5. A magnetic suction block 13 is fixedly provided on the side of each clamping plate 5 away from the second connecting bar 15. An electric telescopic rod 3 is fixedly provided on the outside of the drying box 1.

Two magnetic blocks 13 fix the two clamping plates 5. The power of the electric telescopic rod 3 and the servo motor 2 are turned on respectively. The servo motor 2 drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The rotating rod 7 drives the collar 11, gear 8, rack 9 and all clamping plates to rotate vertically, causing the squid to rotate 360 degrees horizontally, so that the squid can be continuously turned over in one direction with less vibration. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 3 pushes the push block 4. The collar 11 is rotatably connected to the push block 4 through the bearing. The collar 11 then drives the first connecting strip 12. The two first connecting strips 12 push the two racks 9 to slide in the slide groove 10. All gears 8 drive the clamping plates 5 on both sides and the squid to rotate 360 degrees horizontally. The squid can rotate both horizontally and vertically, ensuring that each side of the squid is heated evenly, and drying is synchronous and thorough. Only one squid is placed between each two clamping plates 5, so the squid do not come into contact with each other and will not stick together, and the squid will not be damaged.
