[0002] Instant noodles, also known as fast food noodles or instant noodles, are a convenient, quick, and easy-to-store pre-packaged noodle food. They typically consist of noodles, a seasoning packet, and sometimes other seasonings and ingredients. Consumers simply need to soak or cook them in hot water, greatly facilitating people's fast-paced lifestyles. Non-fried instant noodles, in particular, use a drying or hot-air drying process, avoiding frying, resulting in lower fat content and a healthier option. A non-fried instant noodle drying device is a specialized piece of equipment used to produce non-fried instant noodles. Its main function is to dry the moist instant noodle cakes to meet storage and transportation requirements while maintaining the noodles' texture and quality.

[0003] Existing non-fried instant noodle drying devices mainly use hot air circulation or other drying technologies to quickly evaporate the moisture in the noodle cake, ensuring that the noodles are dried evenly. However, when using a hot air blower to dry the noodle cake in the existing technology, due to improper design of the hot air blower device, some areas of the noodle cake may not be dried sufficiently, while other areas may be over-dried, resulting in inconsistent noodle cake quality and affecting the taste and storage stability.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a user-friendly non-fried instant noodle drying device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an easy-to-use non-fried instant noodle drying device. The device involves placing the noodle cake into a placement slot and hanging it on a hanging rod using a clamp. Simultaneously, the rotation of a disc drives the clamp to make a circular motion, continuously turning the noodle cake and ensuring that different parts of the noodle cake are heated evenly.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a user-friendly non-fried instant noodle drying device, comprising a drying box and a disc, wherein a motor is fixedly installed at the rear of the upper end of the drying box, and three hanging rods are fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the front end face of the disc, and a retaining ring is rotatably installed at the front end of each of the six hanging rods, and a limit groove is provided at the opposite end of each of the six retaining rings and the six hanging rods, and the six hanging rods are symmetrically arranged in a group, and each group is provided with a placement mechanism;

[0007] The placement mechanism includes two clamping plates, each with multiple placement slots on its sides. Each clamping plate has a semi-ring fixedly installed at its upper and lower ends, and each of the four semi-rings has a protrusion fixedly installed inside.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a non-fried instant noodle drying device that is easy to use, including a drying box 1 and a disc 2. A motor 7 is fixedly installed at the rear of the upper end of the drying box 1. Six hanging rods 4 are symmetrically arranged in a group, and each group is provided with a placement mechanism 3. The rear end of the disc 2 is rotatably installed at the center of the inner wall of the rear end of the drying box 1 and extends through the inner wall of the rear end of the drying box 1 to the outside. Pulleys are fixedly installed at the rear end of the disc 2 and the output end of the motor 7, and a belt is connected between the two pulleys.

[0024] Specifically, the motor 7 drives the pulley at its output end to rotate, and then drives the pulley at the rear end of the disc 2 to rotate via the belt, thereby driving the disc 2 to rotate. When the disc 2 rotates, it will drive the hanging rod 4 to rotate, and the hanging rod 4 will drive the clamp 301 hanging on its rod to make a circular motion. In this way, the dough in the placement slot 302 is heated evenly. Secondly, the heating column 8 is an electric heating tube in the prior art, which is wrapped with an electric heating wire and generates heat after being powered on.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-5 Three hanging rods 4 are fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the front face of the disc 2. Each of the six hanging rods 4 has a retaining ring 5 rotatably installed at its front end. Each of the six retaining rings 5 ​​and the six hanging rods 4 has a limit groove 6 at the opposite end. The placement mechanism 3 includes two clamping plates 301. Each of the two clamping plates 301 has multiple placement grooves 302 on its sides. Each of the two clamping plates 301 has a semi-ring 303 fixedly installed at its upper and lower ends. Each of the four semi-rings 303 has a protrusion 304 fixedly installed inside its interior. The rear ends of the two clamping plates 301 are hinged to each other. Each of the two clamping plates 301 has a handle 305 fixedly installed at the middle of its front end.

[0026] Specifically, multiple holes are formed in both the body of the clamping plate 301 and the groove of the placement groove 302. These holes improve the air permeability of the clamping plate 301 and the placement groove 302, facilitating heat entry. The placement groove 302 is designed with a circular bottom. This design ensures that when two opposing placement grooves 302 are joined together, they will enclose the dough placed inside. Furthermore, when the two protrusions 304 are joined together, their shape will match the shape inside the limiting groove 6. At this point, the user aligns the joined protrusions 304 with the limiting groove 6 and inserts them into the limiting groove 6, thus securing the two protrusions 304 together. Since the two protrusions 304 are respectively fixed inside the two semi-rings 303, and the two semi-rings 303 are respectively fixed on the two clamps 301, the two clamps 301 will be fixed together. In this way, the combined clamps 301 are fixed to prevent the dough inside the placement slot 302 from falling out after it is accidentally unfolded. Then, the user rotates the retaining ring 5 to turn the end with the limiting groove 6 to another direction. At this time, the end of the retaining ring 5 without the limiting groove 6 will block the protrusions 304, thus preventing the clamps 301 from slipping off the hanging rod 4.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-3 Heating columns 8 are fixedly installed at the four corners inside the drying oven 1. Multiple ventilation holes 9 are opened on both sides of the upper end face of the drying oven 1. A door 10 is hinged to one side of the front end of the drying oven 1.

[0028] Specifically, when the drying oven 1 is dissipating heat, the moisture on the dough will evaporate and produce water vapor, which will then escape from the vent 9. Furthermore, the oven door 10 adopts a door with a locking structure as used in the prior art.

[0029] Working principle: The user places the clamping plate 301 horizontally, then grasps the upper handle 305 to open the upper clamping plate 301 upwards, placing the dough into the placement slot 302 on the lower clamping plate 301. Next, the user closes the upper clamping plate 301 downwards, bringing the two clamping plates 301 together. The multiple opposing placement slots 302 merge together to cover the dough. At this point, the four semi-rings 303 merge into two rings, and the four protrusions 304 also merge into two. The user then grasps the merged handle 305 to lift the merged clamping plate 301, aligns the protrusions 304 with the limiting slots 6, and pushes them inwards. Then, through the two rings... The ring is hung on the hanging rod 4. Then, the retaining ring 5 is rotated so that one end of the retaining ring 5 with the limiting groove 6 faces the other end. Finally, after the user has finished placing the dough, the box door 10 is closed. Then, the motor 7 is started and the power supply of the heating column 8 is turned on. The heating column 8 emits heat, which evaporates the moisture in the dough inside the placement slot 302. At the same time, the motor 7 drives the pulley to rotate, and the rotation of the pulley will drive another pulley to rotate through the belt, thereby driving the disc 2 to rotate. The rotation of the disc 2 drives the clamp 301 hanging on the hanging rod 4 to make a circular motion, so that the dough inside the clamp 301 is constantly turned over. In this way, the dough is heated evenly.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
