Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a food preservation and drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Air-dried foods are a popular delicacy. The air-drying process often uses hot air as the heat source to remove most of the moisture from the food, inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, reduce water activity, and extend the shelf life of the food.

[0003] Current food preservation and drying equipment consists of trays inside the drying chamber, on which food to be dried is placed. Circulating hot air dries the food. However, in actual use, the problem is that the trays need to be placed and removed one by one when placing the food and removing it after drying, which affects work efficiency. In addition, the food on the trays cannot be moved during the drying process, which can easily lead to uneven drying. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a food preservation and drying device that solves the aforementioned problems of current food preservation and drying devices.

[0047] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a food preservation and drying device includes a drying chamber 1 and a tray assembly. The drying chamber 1 contains a drying chamber 2. The tray assembly includes a support frame 3 and multiple trays 4, spaced vertically on the support frame 3. The support frame 3 has wheels 5 at its bottom for support on the bottom of the drying chamber 1, facilitating pushing or pulling the support frame 3 into or out of the drying chamber 2. A positioning element 6 is located at the top of the support frame 3, and a rotating mechanism 7 is located at the top of the drying chamber 2. The support frame 3 is connected to the rotating mechanism 7 via the positioning element 6. This allows the rotating mechanism 7 to drive the support frame 3 to rotate within the drying chamber 2, achieving uniform drying of the food on the trays 4. It also facilitates the batch placement and removal of food from the trays 4, improving work efficiency.

[0049] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the positioning component 6 includes a circular snap-fit ​​plate 61 with several insertion slots 62. One end of each insertion slot 62 passes through the edge of the circular snap-fit ​​plate 61, and the other end coincides with the center of the circular snap-fit ​​plate 61. A limiting groove 63 is provided at the bottom of the circular snap-fit ​​plate 61, coinciding with the circle of the circular snap-fit ​​plate 61, and the inner diameter of the limiting groove 63 is larger than the inner diameter of the insertion slots 62. The rotating mechanism 7 includes a motor 71 and a turntable 72. The turntable 72 is located inside the drying chamber 2, and the motor 71 is located at the top of the drying box 1. The motor 71 and the turntable 72 are connected by a transmission mechanism, which can be achieved through a reducer or other transmission components, or through a direct connection, as long as the motor 71 can drive the turntable 72 to rotate. A snap-fit ​​post 73 extends downward on the turntable 72. A limit post 74 is provided at the lower end of the snap-fit ​​post 73. After the snap-fit ​​post 73 slides into the insertion groove 62, the limit post 74 snaps into the limit groove 63, thereby stably connecting the support frame 3 to the rotating mechanism 7. When the motor 71 drives the turntable 72 to rotate, the support frame 3 can be driven to rotate synchronously through the snap-fit ​​post 73 and the limit post 74.

[0050] To facilitate the installation and disassembly of the pallet 4, vertical support beams 31 are provided on both sides of the support frame 3. Figures 4-6 As shown, a U-shaped snap-fit ​​plate 32 is provided on the vertical support beam 31, and the two sides of the tray 4 are used to insert into the U-shaped snap-fit ​​plate 32. In order to further improve the stability of the installation of the tray 4, a ball-head plunger 33 is provided in the middle of the U-shaped snap-fit ​​plate 32, and circular grooves 41 are provided on both sides of the tray 4 to engage with the ball-head plunger 33. In this way, the tray 4 can be stably fixed on the support frame 3 through the snap-fit ​​engagement of the ball-head plunger 33 and the circular grooves 41.

[0051] During the food drying process, some moisture may drip. To prevent moisture from accumulating on the support frame 3, a water collection tray 8 is provided at the bottom of the support frame 3. The water collection tray 8 has a first groove 81, and a first drain hole 82 is provided at the bottom of the first groove 81 to drain the accumulated moisture. At the same time, a second groove 21 is provided at the bottom of the drying chamber 2, and a second drain hole 22 is provided at the bottom of the second groove 21. The second drain hole 22 is connected to a drain pipe 9 to facilitate the drainage of moisture from the drying chamber 2.

[0052] Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate pushing the support frame 3 into or pulling it out of the drying chamber 2, a ramp 10 is provided at the door of the drying box 1 to facilitate the entry and exit of the support frame 3 into and out of the drying chamber 2. In this way, when pushing the support frame 3, it can be pushed into or pulled out of the drying chamber 2 more easily, further improving work efficiency.

[0053] In summary, this invention achieves uniform drying of food on trays 4 by driving the support frame 3 to rotate within the drying chamber 2 via the rotating mechanism 7. Furthermore, the detachable design of the tray assembly facilitates the batch placement and removal of food from trays 4, improving work efficiency. In addition, the inclusion of a water collection tray 8 and a drain pipe 9 effectively solves the problem of moisture accumulation during the drying process, ensuring optimal drying results.
