Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of goji berry processing technology, specifically to a dehydration and drying device for goji berries after washing. Background Technology

[0002] Goji berries, also known as wolfberry, are deciduous shrubs belonging to the genus *Lycium* in the Solanaceae family. The fruit is called goji berry, and the young leaves are called goji tips. The term "goji berry" is a general term for species under the genus *Lycium*, including commercial goji berries, Ningxia goji berries, and *Lycium chinense*. Goji berries are shrubs or small trees, reaching up to 2.5 meters in height, and have thorns. Leaves are alternate or clustered, oblong-lanceolate or ovate-oblong, 2.5-6 cm long and 0.5-1.5 cm wide. Flowers are solitary or clustered; the calyx is bell-shaped. After washing, goji berries need to be dried.

[0003] A goji berry conveying and cleaning device with announcement number CN219373728U has a dehydration component installed at one end of the conveyor belt via an inclined connecting plate. The cleaned goji berries can fall through the inclined connecting plate into the dehydration component for dehydration treatment, so as to remove the moisture attached to the surface of the goji berries and improve the efficiency of subsequent drying treatment.

[0004] There are some shortcomings in its use. When drying goji berries, only one surface of the goji berries can be dried, which reduces the overall drying effect and leaves some dead spots on the surface of the goji berries. At the same time, the drying method is relatively simple, which also leads to low drying efficiency and limits the practicality and scope of use of the drying device. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] For examples, please refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A dehydration and drying device for washed goji berries includes a base plate 1, a drying box 4 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, a side groove 17 formed on the inner wall of the drying box 4, a filter plate 12 slidably connected in the side groove 17, a connecting spring 23 fixedly connected between the filter plate 12 and the side groove 17, a damping rod 24 provided in the connecting spring 23, a steel cable 13 fixedly connected to the top of the filter plate 12, a limit ring 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 1, a drum 2 rotatably connected in the limit ring 3, the drum 2 is wound around the steel cable 13, a first tooth 14 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drum 2, a drive motor 6 installed on the side of the base plate 1, a second tooth 15 fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 6, the second tooth 15 extending into the drum 2, and the second tooth 15 meshing with the first tooth 14.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an electric heating plate 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying box 4. A through hole 7 is opened inside the drying box 4. A cover plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the drying box 4. A hot air pump 10 is installed on the top of the cover plate 8. A screen 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the hot air pump 10. A spray pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hot air pump 10. The spray pipe 9 is connected to the hot air pump 10, and the bottom of the spray pipe 9 extends into the drying box 4.

[0027] The filter plate 12 can be driven to move up and down in a circular motion under the power of the drive motor 6. The vibration of the filter plate 12 causes the goji berries on the surface to vibrate, thereby drying the surface of the goji berries thoroughly and avoiding any dead corners in drying. At the same time, the vibration of the goji berries can also cause the water droplets on the surface of the goji berries to fall off quickly, improving the practicality of the drying device during use.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a water outlet cover 5 is abutted against the side of the drying box 4, an inclined plate 16 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the drying box 4, the inclined plate 16 is located on the side of the water outlet cover 5, a support base 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom plate 1, the support base 22 is T-shaped and made of stainless steel, a through groove 21 is opened inside the drying box 4, a rectangular cover 19 is abutted against the through groove 21, a pull ring 20 is fixedly connected to the side of the rectangular cover 19, multiple first teeth 14 are provided, the multiple first teeth 14 are evenly distributed at an angle on the inner wall of the roll 2, the multiple first teeth 14 are all the same size, the inclined plate 16 is rectangular in shape, the inclined plate 16 is located at the bottom of the side groove 17, and the inclined plate 16 is made of stainless steel.

[0029] The device can spray hot air onto the surface of the goji berries through the nozzle 9 under the action of the hot air pump 10, thereby drying the goji berries. At the same time, the electric heating plate 18 can increase the temperature inside the drying box 4, thereby increasing the drying rate of the goji berries and making the drying device more versatile.

[0030] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the goji berry washing and dehydration drying device designed in this scheme is in operation, the rectangular cover 19 is opened to place the goji berries on the surface of the filter plate 12. Then, under the action of the drive motor 6, the second tooth 15 is driven to rotate. Since the second tooth 15 and the first tooth 14 are intermittently meshed, the drum 2 can be driven to rotate cyclically. Under the pulling action of the steel cable 13, the filter plate 12 can be driven to move up and down cyclically, causing the goji berries on the surface of the filter plate 12 to vibrate. This can thoroughly dry the surface of the goji berries and remove the water droplets on the surface of the goji berries. Under the action of the electric heating plate 18, the temperature inside the drying box 4 can be increased. Under the action of the hot air pump 10, hot air is sprayed onto the surface of the goji berries through the nozzle 9, which improves the drying efficiency of the goji berries. After drying is completed, the external electrical switch is turned off, the rectangular cover 19 is opened to take out the goji berries, and then the water outlet cover 5 is opened to let the water droplets on the surface of the inclined plate 16 flow down, completing the drying work of the goji berries.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
