Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically a drying device for camellia oil production. Background Technology
[0002] Camellia oil, as a high-quality edible vegetable oil, is highly favored by consumers due to its rich content of unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and other nutrients, making it extremely nutritious and beneficial to health. In the production process of camellia oil, drying is one of the most crucial steps, as it directly affects the quality, yield, and shelf life of the oil. Drying camellia seeds not only removes moisture but also ensures that their nutritional components are not destroyed.
[0003] Traditional camellia oilseed drying equipment often relies on manual feeding, which is not only labor-intensive but also makes it difficult to accurately control the thickness of the spread of camellia oilseeds. This results in uneven hot air penetration, leading to localized over-drying or under-drying. Furthermore, the existing material trays for spreading camellia oilseeds are not suitable for screening the volume changes during the drying process, making it difficult to classify camellia oilseeds of different qualities. Therefore, a drying device for camellia oil production is needed to solve the problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying device for camellia oil production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying device for camellia oil production, comprising a drying chamber and a hot air blower. The hot air blower is positioned above the drying chamber. A drying and screening mechanism is provided inside the drying chamber. The drying and screening mechanism includes an upper frame, coarse support columns, a lower frame, fine support columns, a receiving plate, and a spreading plate. The upper frame is movably connected to the inner cavity of the drying chamber. The lower frame is positioned below the upper frame. The coarse support columns are fixed between the inner walls of the upper frame. The fine support columns are fixed between the inner walls of the lower frame. The receiving plate is positioned below the fine support columns. The spreading plate is fixed at the other end of the drying chamber. A spreading gap is provided between the spreading plate and the upper frame.
[0006] Preferably, a combined side baffle is fixed to the upper end face of the receiving plate, and one end of the upper frame and the lower frame is fixed to the inner surface of the combined side baffle.
[0007] Preferably, a large filter opening is provided between adjacent coarse support columns, and a small filter opening smaller than the large filter opening is provided between adjacent fine support columns.
[0008] Preferably, horizontal guide rails are fixed on both inner walls of the drying oven, and roller frames are movably connected inside the horizontal guide rails, with translation rollers rotatably connected inside the roller frames.
[0009] Preferably, both sides of the horizontal guide rail are provided with adjustment guide grooves, one end of the horizontal guide rail is provided with a flip-off clearance opening, and the roller frame is rotatably connected in the flip-off clearance opening of the horizontal guide rail.
[0010] Preferably, the hot air blower includes a heating shell and a fan. The heating shell is fixed at the upper end of the drying chamber, and the fan is fixed at the upper port of the heating shell. An electric heating wire is provided inside the heating shell. A hot air duct is fixedly connected between the heating shell and the drying chamber. A fixed end plate is fixed at one port of the drying chamber.
[0011] This utility model provides a drying device for camellia oil production, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0012] The drying and screening mechanism features a sliding side baffle that moves the upper frame out. Camellia oilseeds are added and then reset. An automatic spreading plate ensures precise control of the spreading thickness, providing ideal conditions for even hot air penetration. This ensures effective drying while simplifying the camellia oilseed loading process and improving production efficiency. Different filter openings on the coarse and fine support columns allow the camellia oilseeds to fall naturally onto the fine support columns as they dry and shrink in volume, achieving layered screening and secondary drying. This ensures thorough evaporation of deep moisture, even hot air distribution through sparse spreading, and prevents over-drying, thus guaranteeing the quality of the camellia oilseeds. The reciprocating sliding side baffles and the coarse and fine support columns screen out extremely small camellia oilseeds, enabling the classification and storage of camellia oilseeds of different qualities after drying. This meets diverse production needs and increases product added value.
[0013] After drying, the combined side baffle is pulled outward by the horizontal guide rail, roller frame and translating roller. The roller frame moves to the end of the horizontal guide rail and the roller frame of the upper frame can be flipped down along the flipping clearance, so that the coarse support column, fine support column and receiving plate are in an inclined state, which makes it easy for camellia oil seeds to be automatically concentrated at one end, realize rapid unloading and reduce manual labor intensity.

[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a drying device for camellia oil production, including a drying chamber 1 and a hot air blower. The hot air blower is located above the drying chamber 1. The drying chamber 1 is equipped with a drying and screening mechanism 6. The drying and screening mechanism 6 includes an upper frame 7, coarse support columns 8, a lower frame 9, fine support columns 10, a receiving plate 11, and a spreading plate 18. The upper frame 7 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the drying chamber 1. The lower frame 9 is located below the upper frame 7. The coarse support columns 8 are fixed between the inner walls of the upper frame 7. The fine support columns 10 are fixed between the inner walls of the lower frame 9. The receiving plate 11 is located below the fine support columns 10. The spreading plate 18 is fixed at the other end of the drying chamber 1. A spreading gap is provided between the spreading plate 18 and the upper frame 7. Camellia oil seeds are loaded on the coarse support columns 8 and pushed into the drying chamber, where they are automatically spread by the spreading plate 18.
[0021] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that a combined side baffle 12 is fixed to the upper end of the receiving plate 11. One end of the upper frame 7 and the lower frame 9 is fixed to the inner surface of the combined side baffle 12. A large filter opening is provided between adjacent coarse support columns 8, and a small filter opening smaller than the large filter opening is provided between adjacent fine support columns 10. The "large filter opening" formed between the coarse support columns 8 is used to hold the camellia oilseeds to be dried. After preliminary drying, the camellia oilseeds with reduced volume fall onto the fine support columns 10 below through the large filter opening, realizing preliminary screening and transfer. The camellia oilseeds on the fine support columns 10 are waiting for the preliminary dried camellia oilseeds to undergo secondary drying. The remaining hot air is used to evaporate the deep moisture, and at the same time, the hot air penetration is improved by sparse spreading (because the material is reduced after screening), avoiding over-drying.
[0022] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that horizontal guide rails 13 are fixed on both inner walls of the drying chamber 1. Roller frames 14 are movably connected inside the horizontal guide rails 13. Translation rollers 15 are rotatably connected inside the roller frames 14. Adjustment guide grooves 16 are provided on both sides of the horizontal guide rails 13. A tilting clearance opening 17 is provided at one end of the horizontal guide rails 13. The roller frames 14 are rotatably connected in the tilting clearance opening 17 of the horizontal guide rails 13. The horizontal guide rails 13 provide guide tracks for the translation and tilting of the drying and screening mechanism, ensuring its stable movement in the drying chamber and facilitating loading, tilting unloading and screening operations.
[0023] Further as Figure 1 As shown, it is worth noting that the hot air blower includes a heating shell 2 and a fan 3. The heating shell 2 is fixed at the upper end of the drying box 1, and the fan 3 is fixed at the upper port of the heating shell 2. An electric heating wire is installed inside the heating shell 2. A hot air pipe 4 is fixedly connected between the heating shell 2 and the drying box 1. A fixed end plate 5 is fixed at one side port of the drying box 1.
[0024] The solution has the following working process: Before use, the combined side baffle 12 is pulled out from the drying box 1, and the translation roller 15 is driven to slide along the horizontal guide rail 13. After the upper frame 7 is moved out, camellia oil seeds are poured onto the coarse support column 8 of the upper frame 7, and then returned to the drying box 1. In this way, the camellia oil seeds are automatically spread by the spreading plate 18 during the process of the coarse support column 8 sliding into the drying box 1. The spreading plate 18 controls the spreading thickness of the camellia oil seeds, which helps to ensure the drying effect.
[0025] During use, the blower 3 and the heating shell 2 work together to generate hot air to dry the camellia oil seeds inside the drying chamber 1. When the moisture content of the camellia oil seeds on the coarse support column 8 is initially dried to the standard, their volume will be greatly reduced. The camellia oil seeds with reduced volume will fall onto the fine support column 10. Before use, the combined side baffle 12 is pulled out from the drying chamber 1, and the translation roller 15 is driven to slide along the horizontal guide rail 13. After the upper frame 7 is moved out, the camellia oil seeds are poured onto the coarse support column 8 of the upper frame 7 and then returned to the drying chamber 1. In this way, the camellia oil seeds are automatically spread by the spreading plate 18 during the process of the coarse support column 8 sliding into the drying chamber 1. The spreading plate 18 controls the spreading thickness of the camellia oil seeds, which helps to ensure the drying effect.
[0026] During use, the blower 3 and the heating shell 2 work together to generate hot air to dry the camellia oil seeds inside the drying chamber 1. When the camellia oil seeds on the coarse support column 8 reach the initial moisture content, their volume will be greatly reduced. The camellia oil seeds with reduced volume will fall onto the fine support column 10 and be dried again using the remaining hot air to ensure that the deep moisture is completely evaporated. After being screened in the area of the coarse support column 8, the camellia oil seeds are distributed onto the fine support column 10. This sparsely spread camellia oil seeds are conducive to uniform drying by hot air. Furthermore, this method of transferring the initially dried camellia oil seeds to the lower position away from the air outlet can prevent over-drying. In addition, the reciprocating pull-in combination side baffle 12 controls the coarse support column 8 and the fine support column 10 to screen out the camellia oil seeds with very small volume and let them fall onto the receiving plate 11. This allows camellia oil seeds of different qualities to be classified and stored after drying.
[0027] After the camellia oilseeds are dried, the combined side baffle 12 is pulled outward until the roller frame 14 moves to the end of the horizontal guide rail 13. Since there is a certain gap between the upper frame 7 and the horizontal guide rail 13, the roller frame 14 on the upper frame 7 is controlled to flip downward along the flip clearance opening 17 of the horizontal guide rail 13. This allows the coarse support column 8, the fine support column 10 and the receiving plate 11 to be in an inclined state so that the camellia oilseeds are automatically concentrated at one end, thus providing the conditions for the rapid unloading of the camellia oilseeds.
[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, this does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
