Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a drying device, and more particularly to a drying device for processing silver ear fungus. Background Technology
[0002] Drying significantly reduces the moisture content of food ingredients, thereby lowering their water activity, inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, and extending the product's shelf life. Drying also ensures that ingredients such as white fungus and black fungus retain their original shape and appearance; for example, dried white fungus maintains its large and round shape, enhancing the product's marketability.
[0003] In existing technologies, since white fungus is usually piled up in a drying frame during drying, the lack of a turning mechanism leads to dead corners during the drying process, resulting in uneven drying. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the drawback of uneven drying of tremella, this utility model provides a drying device for tremella processing.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a drying device for processing silver ear fungus, including a support 1, a drying chamber 2, a door 3, a rotating frame 6, a reduction motor 62, a mesh screen 7, a drying fan 8, a filter screen 9, a heating tube 10, a placement frame 11, and a locking assembly; the drying chamber 2 is installed on the top of the support 1, and the door 3 is rotatably connected to the right side of the drying chamber 2; the rotating frame 6 is rotatably provided inside the drying chamber 2, and the reduction motor 62 is installed on the rear side of the drying chamber 2. The output shaft of the reduction motor 62 passes through the rear side wall of the drying chamber 2 and is connected to the rotating frame 6; the rotating frame 6 is provided with multiple drying chambers 61 spaced apart circumferentially, and any two adjacent drying chambers 61 are separated by a mesh screen 7; the placement frame 11 is slidably provided in the drying chambers 61 of the rotating frame 6, and the placement frame 11 can be pulled out from the end of the rotating frame 6 away from the center; the filter screen 9, the drying fan 8, and the heating tube 10 are installed sequentially from top to bottom on the top of the drying chamber 2, and the locking assembly is installed on the placement frame 11 and the rotating frame 6, and the locking assembly is used to fix the placement frame 11.
[0006] Beneficial effects: This invention, through the design of a rotating frame and mesh structure, ensures that the white fungus is heated evenly during the drying process. The rotation of the frame ensures that all parts of the white fungus are fully exposed to hot air, avoiding the drying dead zones caused by traditional stacking methods, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of drying.
[0007] This invention also effectively prevents impurities and contaminants from entering the drying oven through components such as filters and baffles, ensuring that the white fungus is not contaminated. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0014] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this does not limit the scope of protection and application of the present invention.
[0015] A drying device for processing silver ear fungus, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the dryer includes a support frame 1, a drying chamber 2, a door 3, a rotating frame 6, a geared motor 62, a mesh screen 7, a drying fan 8, a filter screen 9, a heating tube 10, a placement frame 11, and a locking assembly. The drying chamber 2 is mounted on the top of the support frame 1. The door 3 is rotatably connected to the right side of the drying chamber 2. The rotating frame 6 is rotatably mounted inside the drying chamber 2. The geared motor 62 is mounted on the rear side of the drying chamber 2. The output shaft of the geared motor 62 passes through the rear side wall of the drying chamber 2 and is connected to the rotating frame 6. The rotating frame 6 has 10 drying chambers 61 spaced circumferentially. Each drying chamber 61 has a mesh screen 7 on both sides. The placement frame 11 is slidably mounted inside the drying chamber 61 of the rotating frame 6. The placement frame 11 can be pulled out from the end of the rotating frame 6 away from the center. The top of the drying chamber 2 is equipped with a filter screen 9, a drying fan 8, and a heating tube 10 from top to bottom. The locking assembly is mounted on the placement frame 11 and the rotating frame 6 and is used to fix the placement frame 11. The bottom of the drying chamber (2) has a ventilation opening.
[0016] In use, first open the door 3, pull out the placement frame 11 from the rotating frame 6, place the prepared white fungus into the placement frame 11, and then push the placement frame 11 back into the rotating frame 6. The mesh 7 on the rotating frame 6 ensures that the white fungus will not fall off. Then close the door 3 to ensure the airtightness and safety during the drying process. Next, start the geared motor 62, the drying fan 8, and the heating tube 10 in sequence. The heat generated by the heating tube 10 can heat the air blown out by the drying fan 8 into hot air, providing the necessary heat conditions for the drying process of the white fungus. The geared motor 62 drives the rotating frame 6 to rotate, ensuring that the white fungus can be heated evenly. The filter screen 9 can prevent impurities from entering during drying, and the vent facilitates the exhaust of gas from the drying chamber 2. As the white fungus rotates with the rotating frame 6, white fungus fragments or impurities fall out through the mesh 7, which can play a screening role. The fragments and impurities are finally discharged through the vent.
[0017] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the locking assembly includes a mounting ring 12, a locking rod 13, a first elastic element 14, and a limiting groove 15. Mounting rings 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of one end of the placement frame 11. There are two locking rods 13. The two mounting rings 12 are slidably connected to the two locking rods 13 respectively. The opposite ends of the two locking rods 13 are both inclined. One end of the first elastic element 14 is connected to the locking rod 13, and the other end of the first elastic element 14 is connected to the mounting ring 12. The first elastic element 14 is sleeved on the outside of the locking rod 13. The rotating frame 6 has two limiting grooves 15 at the end away from its center, which are respectively adapted to the two locking rods 13.
[0018] During drying, the placement frame 11 can be directly pushed into the rotating frame 6. At this time, the limiting groove 15 will squeeze the inclined surfaces of the two locking rods 13, causing the two locking rods 13 to come together. At the same time, the first elastic element 14 retracts. When the locking rods 13 are fully aligned with the limiting groove 15, the first elastic element 14 returns from the retracted state, pushing the locking rods 13 into the limiting groove 15, locking the placement frame 11 in the rotating frame 6 and preventing the placement frame 11 from falling out of the rotating frame 6. When it is necessary to remove the placement frame 11, pull the two locking rods 13 to bring them together until the locking rods 13 are completely disengaged from the limiting grooves 15 on both sides of the fan blade of the rotating frame 6. Then, pull the placement frame 11 out of the rotating frame 6.
[0019] Furthermore, it also includes transparent plates 4. Two transparent plates 4 are provided on both the front and rear side walls of the drying chamber 2. The two transparent plates 4 on the same side are symmetrically arranged vertically. The transparent plates 4 allow the operator to observe the condition of the silver ear fungus inside the drying chamber 2 and prevent incomplete or excessive drying.
[0020] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the placement frame 11 is grid-shaped. The grid-shaped bottom surface of the placement frame 11 can increase the contact area between the white fungus and the hot air, ensuring that all parts of the white fungus can be heated evenly during the drying process.
[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a baffle 5. The top of the drying chamber 2 is equipped with a sliding baffle 5. When the dryer is not in use, the baffle 5 can prevent debris from entering, thereby protecting the dryer from contamination.
[0022] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any way, and all technical solutions obtained by means of equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
