[0002] The processing of vegetables requires cleaning first, followed by drying in drying equipment. Vegetable drying refers to the process of removing most of the moisture from fresh vegetables using heat or mechanical means to inhibit microbial growth and enzyme activity, thereby extending shelf life and facilitating storage and transportation.

[0003] Patent CN219088293U discloses "a vegetable drying device for vegetable processing, comprising: a drying box and a tray, wherein a bearing seat is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom of the drying box. By setting up a water pipe, water dripping into the drying box can be discharged through the water pipe, preventing the dripping water from accumulating at the bottom of the drying box and evaporating to form a humid and hot environment inside the drying box, thus affecting the drying of vegetables. By using a connecting hole through which a fixed crossbar passes through the outer wall of the tray, the tray can be inserted into the fixed crossbar, thereby solving the problem that when the tray rotates inside the drying device, it gradually shifts and hits the inner wall of the drying box or the air outlet pipe, thus affecting the normal operation of the drying device."

[0004] Although the above-mentioned existing technology can dry the vegetables in the tray, when removing the tray with vegetables after drying, it is necessary to first unscrew the wing bolt from the fixed vertical rod, then remove the fixed vertical rod from the slot, and separate the fixed vertical rod from the first horizontal rod. This makes the overall removal process of the tray time-consuming and inconvenient, and there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vegetable drying device for vegetable processing in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0021] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a vegetable drying device for vegetable processing includes a drying box 1, a drying structure, a rotating frame 2, several trays 3 and a connecting structure. The drying structure is installed inside the drying box 1. A door is provided on one side of the drying box 1, and the operator can open and close the door to put vegetables into the drying box 1 or take the dried vegetables out of the drying box 1.

[0024] The drying structure includes a dryer 11 fixedly installed on the top of the drying chamber 1 and an exhaust net 12 fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the drying chamber 1. The exhaust net 12 is fixedly connected to the exhaust port opened on one side of the bottom of the drying chamber 1. When the dryer 11 stops working, the exhaust net 12 can filter the outside air entering the drying chamber 1 through the exhaust port, so that dust and other foreign objects are not easy to enter the drying chamber 1 through the exhaust net 12. After the dryer 11 is running, it blows hot air into the drying chamber 1 to dry the vegetables in the drying chamber 1. The hot and humid air in the drying chamber 1 will be discharged through the exhaust net 12, thereby continuously drying the vegetables in the drying chamber 1.

[0025] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the rotating frame 2 is rotatably installed inside the drying chamber 1, and the tray 3 is detachably installed inside the rotating frame 2. Before drying, vegetables can be placed on the tray 3. The tray 3 consists of a wire mesh and a barrier fixed at the top edge of the wire mesh.

[0026] like Figure 2-3As shown, a motor 21 for driving the rotating frame 2 to rotate is fixedly installed on the top of the drying box 1. A rotating seat 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner side of the drying box 1. The bottom end of the rotating frame 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 14. The bottom of the output end of the motor 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating frame 2. The rotating frame 2 and the rotating seat 14 are rotatably connected by bearings. The rotating seat 14 can support and limit the rotating frame 2. After the motor 21 runs, it will drive the rotating frame 2 and the tray 3 to rotate, which can make the vegetables in the tray 3 more evenly contact the hot air discharged by the dryer 11, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0027] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the connecting structure is located between the rotating frame 2 and the tray 3. A connecting column 31 is fixedly installed in the center of the tray 3. The connecting structure includes several trays 4 fixedly installed in the rotating frame 2 for supporting the tray 3, and a square rod 41 fixedly installed on the top of the tray 4. The square rod 41 is inserted into the square hole opened in the middle of the connecting column 31. The trays 4 can support and lift the tray 3.

[0028] Place the tray 3 vertically on the tray plate 4, and insert the square rod 41 of the tray plate 4 into the square hole of the connecting post 31 to install and fix the tray 3. When removing the tray 3, simply lift the tray 3 upwards to disengage the square rod 41 from the square hole of the connecting post 31, and the process of removing the tray 3 with vegetables can be completed.

[0029] like Figure 2-4 As shown, a rotating ring 32 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting column 31. A push plate 33 is fixed on the outer wall of the rotating ring 32 for scraping and pushing the vegetable leaves adhering to the tray 3 after rotation. The push plate 33 is engaged with the inner wall of the tray 3. The rotating ring 32 can connect the connecting column 31 and the push plate 33 and limit the push plate 33 so that the push plate 33 can move in a circle around the connecting column 31. The rotating ring 32 can be vertically removed from the connecting column 31 to clean or replace the rotating ring 32 and the push plate 33 as a whole.

[0030] After drying, remove the tray 3 from the rotating frame 2, and then push the push plate 22 inside the tray 3 to rotate. At this time, the push plate 33 can move in a circle around the connecting column 31. After rotation, the push plate 33 can scrape off some of the vegetable leaves that are stuck to the tray 3 after drying and push them together, making it easier for staff to clean up the pushed and gathered vegetable leaves.

[0031] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the bottom of the tray 4 is fixed with several drain trays 5 for catching water flowing out of the tray 3. The two sides of the rotating frame 2 are fixed with main drain pipes 52. The bottom of the inner side of the drain trays 5 is fixed with several branch drain pipes 51. One end of the branch drain pipe 51 passes through the rotating frame 2 and extends into the interior of the main drain pipe 52. The bottom side of the drying box 1 is fixed with a drain pipe 13, and a valve is provided in the drain pipe 13.

[0032] When the device dries the washed vegetables directly, the excess water on the surface of the vegetables can flow into the drain tray 5 through the mesh of the tray 3, thereby draining the vegetables in the tray 3. The water in the drain tray 5 will flow from the drain branch pipe 51 into the drain main pipe 52, and then be discharged into the bottom of the drying box 1 through the drain main pipe 52. The water at the bottom of the drying box 1 can be discharged from the device through the drain pipe 13.

[0033] It should be noted that, when using this vegetable drying device for vegetable processing, first open the door of the drying chamber 1, put the vegetables into several trays 3, then insert the trays 3 between vertically adjacent trays 4, then place the trays 3 on the trays 4, and make sure that the square rods 41 of the trays 4 can be inserted into the square holes of the connecting columns 31 to install and fix the trays 3, then close the door and turn on the dryer 11;

[0034] After the dryer 11 starts running, it blows hot air into the drying chamber 1 to dry the vegetables inside. The hot and humid air inside the drying chamber 1 is discharged through the exhaust net 12, thus continuously drying the vegetables inside the drying chamber 1. At the same time, the motor 21 is turned on. After the motor 21 starts running, it drives the rotating frame 2 and the tray 3 to rotate, which allows the vegetables in the tray 3 to come into more even contact with the hot air discharged by the dryer 11, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0035] After drying, turn off the motor 21 and the dryer 11, open the door, lift the tray 3 upward so that the square rod 41 can disengage from the square hole of the connecting column 31, and then move the tray 3 horizontally between the adjacent trays 4 to remove it, thus completing the process of removing the vegetable tray 3.

[0036] When the device dries the washed vegetables directly, excess water on the surface of the vegetables can flow into the drain tray 5 through the mesh of the tray 3 and be discharged through the drain branch pipe 51 and other pipes, thus preventing water from the vegetables in the upper tray 3 from flowing into the vegetables in the lower tray 3 and prolonging the drying time of the lower vegetables, which is convenient and practical.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
