Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying technology, and in particular to a drying machine that enables food to be heated evenly. Background Technology

[0002] A food dryer is a device that uses hot air or other heat sources to evaporate the moisture in food, thereby achieving the purpose of drying. Due to its advantages such as high efficiency and energy saving, good drying effect, and environmental friendliness, food dryers are widely used in the food processing industry.

[0003] In traditional dryers, wet material is first fed into hoppers via a belt conveyor or bucket elevator, and then enters the drying module through a feeding pipe. The drying module is typically designed as a cylinder, box, or rotating cylinder at a certain angle to the horizontal. Inside these modules, the material comes into direct or indirect contact with a heat carrier (such as hot air), thereby achieving the heating and drying process. Finally, the dried material is discharged via a belt conveyor or screw conveyor at the outlet end.

[0004] The above process typically involves manual loading and unloading, which is extremely tedious and inefficient. Furthermore, during the drying process, the wet materials are exposed to the air, resulting in significant heat loss and a surge in energy costs. Additionally, the aroma of the materials themselves dissipates rapidly into the air as the drying temperature increases, leading to a decline in the quality of the dried materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dryer that ensures uniform heating of food, enables automatic loading and unloading, significantly improves drying efficiency, and effectively reduces energy consumption while ensuring that the aroma of the material does not easily escape.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the dryer that enables uniform heating of food disclosed in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A dryer for uniformly heating food includes a base frame and an inclined sleeve. The base frame includes two opposing clamping arms, and an inclined drive mechanism is provided on the inner side wall of the clamping arms. The inclined drive mechanism is rotatably connected to the side wall of the inclined sleeve. The inclined sleeve includes a rotating drum, a rotating drive mechanism, and a fragrance-locking mechanism. The rotating drum is a cylindrical structure with one open end, and the open end of the rotating drum is rotatably connected to one end face of the inclined sleeve. The other end of the rotating drum is rotatably connected to the rotating drive mechanism, which is fixed to the other end of the inclined sleeve. The inner wall of the rotating drum is provided with multiple equally spaced and arranged drum blades. A drying assembly is provided at the bottom of the rotating drum. The fragrance-locking mechanism is rotatably connected to the inclined sleeve and rotates to cover the open end of the rotating drum.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the cross-section of the roller blades is arc-shaped, and the number of roller blades ranges from 3 to 8.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the rotating drum is provided with a heat insulation layer.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the fragrance-locking mechanism includes a flip-top driving mechanism, a connecting plate, and a fragrance-locking cover. The flip-top driving mechanism is fixed on the inclined sleeve. The flip-top driving mechanism is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate, and the other end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the fragrance-locking cover. When the flip-top driving mechanism rotates, the fragrance-locking cover is moved towards the opening end of the rotating roller through the connecting plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the fragrance lock cover is embedded with a temperature and humidity sensor.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, a limiting rod is also provided between the two clamping arms, and the limiting rod is positioned below the tilting drive mechanism.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, both of the clamping arms are provided with weight-reduction windows.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the dryer disclosed in this utility model that enables uniform heating of food are as follows: The dryer enables uniform heating of food, including a base frame and an inclined sleeve. The base frame includes two opposing clamping arms, and an inclined driving mechanism is provided on the inner side wall of the clamping arms. The inclined driving mechanism is rotatably connected to the side wall of the inclined sleeve. The inclined sleeve includes a rotating drum, a rotating driving mechanism, and a fragrance-locking mechanism. The rotating drum is a cylindrical structure with one end open. The open end of the rotating drum is rotatably connected to one end face of the inclined sleeve, and the other end of the rotating drum is rotatably connected to the rotating driving mechanism. The rotating driving mechanism is fixed to the other end of the inclined sleeve. The inner wall of the rotating drum is provided with multiple drum blades arranged in a circular pattern at equal intervals. A drying component is provided at the bottom of the rotating drum. The fragrance-locking mechanism is rotatably connected to the inclined sleeve, and the fragrance-locking mechanism is rotated to cover the open end of the rotating drum. The tilting drive mechanism can dynamically adjust the angle of the tilting sleeve, thereby adjusting the opening angle of the rotating drum. This allows the drum opening to point towards the feed or discharge belt. This process is fully automated and requires no manual intervention, significantly improving overall efficiency. The reciprocating oscillation of the tilting drive mechanism, the rotation of the rotary drive mechanism, and the intervention of the drum blades cause the material to tumble from multiple dimensions, increasing the drying contact surface and accelerating the drying rate. Simultaneously, the aroma-locking mechanism seals the opening of the rotating drum, preventing heat loss and effectively reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, the aroma-locking mechanism also prevents the leakage of the material's own aroma. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A dryer that enables food to be heated evenly includes a base frame 10 and an inclined sleeve 20.

[0027] The base frame 10 includes two opposing clamping arms 11, and the inner sidewall of the clamping arms 11 is provided with a tilting drive mechanism 111.

[0028] The tilting drive mechanism 111 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the tilting sleeve 20. The tilting sleeve 20 includes a rotating roller 21, a rotating drive mechanism 22, and a fragrance-locking mechanism 23.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 3-5 The rotating drum 21 is a cylindrical structure with one open end, and a rotating flange 211 is provided around the open end of the rotating drum 21. The rotating flange 211 is rotatably connected to one end face of the inclined sleeve 20, and the open end of the rotating drum 21 extends out of the end face of the inclined sleeve 20. A rotating gear 212 is provided at the other end of the rotating drum 21, and the rotating gear 212 meshes with a rotating drive mechanism 22, which is fixed to the other end of the inclined sleeve 20. This allows the rotating drive mechanism 22 to drive the rotating drum 21 to rotate independently within the inclined sleeve 20.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 5 The inner wall of the rotating drum 21 is provided with multiple drum blades 213 arranged in a circular pattern at equal intervals. The inner bottom of the rotating drum 21 is provided with a drying component 214. The drying component 214 includes, but is not limited to, heating technologies such as hot air circulation, heat pump, microwave, and vacuum drying. In this embodiment, infrared heating lamps are preferred.

[0031] The fragrance-locking mechanism 23 is rotatably connected to the inclined sleeve 20, and the fragrance-locking mechanism 23 is rotated to cover one end of the opening of the rotating drum 21.

[0032] The tilting drive mechanism 111 can dynamically adjust the angle of the tilting sleeve 20, thereby adjusting the opening angle of the rotating drum 21 so that the opening of the rotating drum 21 points towards the feeding belt or the unloading belt. That is, during feeding, the opening end of the rotating drum 21 is raised, and the material on the feeding belt can naturally fall into the rotating drum 21; during unloading, the opening end of the rotating drum 21 is lowered, and the material inside the rotating drum 21 flows out along the opening end to the unloading belt. This process requires no manual intervention and is fully automated, greatly improving overall efficiency.

[0033] The reciprocating swaying of the tilting drive mechanism 111, the rotation of the rotary drive mechanism 22, and the intervention of the drum blades 213 cause the material to be turned over from multiple dimensions. Compared with the traditional single turning mode, this greatly increases the drying contact area and speeds up the drying rate.

[0034] At the same time, the fragrance-locking mechanism 23 seals the open end of the rotating drum 21 to prevent the loss of some heat and effectively reduce energy consumption; in addition, the fragrance-locking mechanism 23 also prevents the fragrance of the material itself from overflowing.

[0035] In this embodiment, the drum blades 213 have an arc-shaped cross-section, which can hook a large amount of material and tumble it when the rotary drive mechanism 22 drives the rotary drum 21 to rotate, so that the material is heated more fully and the drying rate is improved. The number of drum blades 213 ranges from 3 to 8, and 5 is preferred in this embodiment.

[0036] Preferably, the outer wall of the rotating drum 21 is provided with a heat insulation layer 24, which further locks the heat energy inside the rotating drum 21 and effectively reduces heat loss. In this embodiment, the heat insulation layer 24 is made of 7.5cm thick heat insulation cotton, which greatly reduces the energy loss caused by heat loss in actual production.

[0037] In this embodiment, the fragrance-locking mechanism 23 includes a flip-top driving mechanism 231, a connecting plate 232, and a fragrance-locking cover 233. The flip-top driving mechanism 231 is fixed to the tilting sleeve 20. One end of the flip-top driving mechanism 231 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 232, and the other end of the connecting plate 232 is fixedly connected to the fragrance-locking cover 233. When the flip-top driving mechanism 231 rotates, the fragrance-locking cover 233 closes onto the opening end of the rotating roller 21 via the connecting plate 232. (Note: In this embodiment, the tilting drive mechanism 111, the rotation drive mechanism 22, and the flip-top driving mechanism 231 are servo motors, which can also be understood as any power source that can be driven.)

[0038] Preferably, the fragrance lock cover 233 is embedded with a temperature and humidity sensor. Through the real-time temperature and humidity feedback from the temperature and humidity sensor, this embodiment also extends a set of control strategies:

[0039] Based on the actual temperature and humidity, the control unit can intelligently adjust the reciprocating shaking frequency of the tilt drive mechanism 111, the rotation speed of the rotary drive mechanism 22, and the heating temperature of the drying component 214 to achieve the optimal drying strategy. At the same time, after drying is completed, the tilt angle of the tilt drive mechanism 111 and the opening and closing angle of the fragrance lock cover 233 can also be controlled to quickly feed the material.

[0040] A limiting rod 112 is also provided between the two clamping arms 11, and the limiting rod 112 is located below the tilting drive mechanism 111. The limiting rod 112 is used to limit the rotating roller 21 from tilting too downward, so as to prevent the tilting drive mechanism 111 from being overloaded when tilting upward.

[0041] Both clamping arms 11 are provided with weight-reducing windows 113 to reduce the overall weight of the equipment and to facilitate the lifting and clamping positions for transportation.

[0042] This utility model provides a dryer for food that is heated evenly. The dryer includes a base frame and an inclined sleeve. The base frame includes two opposing clamping arms, and an inclined drive mechanism is provided on the inner wall of each clamping arm. The inclined drive mechanism is rotatably connected to the side wall of the inclined sleeve. The inclined sleeve includes a rotating drum, a rotating drive mechanism, and a fragrance-locking mechanism. The rotating drum is a cylindrical structure with one open end, and the open end of the rotating drum is rotatably connected to one end face of the inclined sleeve. The other end of the rotating drum is rotatably connected to the rotating drive mechanism, which is fixed to the other end of the inclined sleeve. The inner wall of the rotating drum has multiple equally spaced, circumferentially arranged drum blades. A drying assembly is provided at the bottom of the rotating drum. The fragrance-locking mechanism is rotatably connected to the inclined sleeve and rotates to cover the open end of the rotating drum. The tilting drive mechanism can dynamically adjust the angle of the tilting sleeve, thereby adjusting the opening angle of the rotating drum. This allows the drum opening to point towards the feed or discharge belt. This process is fully automated and requires no manual intervention, significantly improving overall efficiency. The reciprocating oscillation of the tilting drive mechanism, the rotation of the rotary drive mechanism, and the intervention of the drum blades cause the material to tumble from multiple dimensions, increasing the drying contact surface and accelerating the drying rate. Simultaneously, the aroma-locking mechanism seals the opening of the rotating drum, preventing heat loss and effectively reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, the aroma-locking mechanism also prevents the leakage of the material's own aroma.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
