Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, and more specifically to a solid beverage drying box. Background Technology

[0002] Solid beverages are available in powder, granule, or block form, such as bean crystal powder, malted milk powder, instant coffee, and chrysanthemum crystals. Drying is one of the most crucial processes in the production of solid beverages, directly affecting product quality, solubility, shelf life, and production efficiency. Hot air drying ovens are widely used for drying solid beverage granules due to their relatively simple structure, convenient operation, and controllable cost.

[0003] Currently common solid beverage drying boxes typically consist of a sealed or semi-sealed box with multiple trays inside to hold the solid beverage. Hot air removes moisture from the beverage to achieve drying. For example, an existing patent with authorization number CN 208520108 U describes a method where the trays are fixed to the box by guide rails, and the material is spread evenly on the surface of each tray. After drying, the multiple trays must be pulled out of the box one by one to discharge and collect the material. This process is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also inefficient. During the tray removal process, material is prone to spillage, resulting in waste and increased production costs.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a drying oven that enables rapid and convenient material discharge is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a solid beverage drying box, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A solid beverage drying box includes a box body, wherein the top wall of the box body has a feed inlet and the bottom wall has a discharge outlet; and further includes:

[0008] A receiving plate is located inside the housing. A rotating shaft is fixedly fixed through the surface of the receiving plate. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the opposite side walls of the housing, and one end of the shaft extends out of the housing and is fixedly connected to the power output shaft of the drive mechanism.

[0009] The control unit is electrically connected to the control terminal of the drive mechanism. After drying is completed, the control unit controls the drive mechanism to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the receiving plate flips around the axis of the rotating shaft to achieve automatic discharge towards the discharge port.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the solid beverage drying box provided by this utility model, by setting a flip-up receiving plate and a rotating shaft and driving mechanism connected thereto, after drying is completed, the driving mechanism drives the rotating shaft to rotate, causing the receiving plate to flip and tilt around the axis of the rotating shaft. At the same time, relying on the gravity of the material itself, the dried solid beverage can be directly poured into the discharge port, thereby realizing fast and convenient discharge to the discharge port, solving the problems of cumbersome and inefficient discharge in the prior art, improving production efficiency and reducing material waste.

[0011] Preferably, in the above-mentioned solid beverage drying box, the drive mechanism includes a support frame fixed to the outer wall of the box body, and a drive motor mounted on the support frame. The power output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft via a coupling. Mounting the drive motor on the support frame on the outer wall of the box body and connecting it to the rotating shaft via a coupling makes the installation of the drive mechanism more stable and reliable, which helps to ensure the accuracy and stability of the receiving plate's flipping action, and also facilitates the maintenance and repair of the drive motor.

[0012] Preferably, in the above-mentioned solid beverage drying box, two symmetrically arranged guide plates are fixed on the two opposite inner sidewalls of the box body, below the receiving plate. The end of the guide plate away from the inner sidewall of the box is inclined downward and fixed at the edge of the discharge port. When the receiving plate flips to discharge material, the guide plate can guide the material to flow smoothly to the discharge port, avoiding material accumulation or spillage inside the box, and further improving the efficiency and accuracy of discharge.

[0013] Preferably, in the above-mentioned solid beverage drying oven, a vibrating motor with an eccentric block is installed on the bottom wall of the receiving plate, and the vibrating motor is electrically connected to the control unit. During the drying process, the vibrating motor can generate vibration, causing the material on the receiving plate to continuously turn over, increasing the contact area between the material and the hot air, improving drying efficiency, and making the material drier.

[0014] Preferably, in the above-mentioned solid beverage drying box, a storage bin is installed on the top of the box body, and the discharge port of the storage bin is connected to the feed port. This mechanism facilitates the addition of materials, allowing operators to directly place materials into the storage bin. The materials enter the box body through the discharge port and the feed port, reducing the hassle of manual handling and material addition, and improving production efficiency.

[0015] Preferably, the above-mentioned solid beverage drying box further includes a dehumidification mechanism, which includes a dehumidification fan, a dehumidification pipe, and a humidity sensor. The dehumidification fan is installed on the top of the box, the inlet end of the dehumidification pipe is connected to the dehumidification fan, and the outlet end is connected to the interior of the box. The humidity sensor is installed on the inner top wall of the box. The humidity sensor can monitor the humidity inside the box in real time. When the humidity exceeds a set value, the control unit can control the dehumidification fan to start, and the moisture is discharged from the box through the dehumidification pipe, ensuring that the humidity inside the box is within a suitable range during the drying process and improving the drying effect.

[0016] Preferably, in the above-mentioned solid beverage drying box, a first solenoid valve is installed on the dehumidification pipe; the first solenoid valve, the dehumidification fan, and the humidity sensor are all electrically connected to the control unit. The control unit can precisely control the opening degree of the solenoid valve and the operating status of the dehumidification fan based on the feedback signal from the humidity sensor, achieving precise control of the dehumidification process, further improving dehumidification efficiency, and saving energy.

[0017] Preferably, the above-mentioned solid beverage drying box further includes a heating mechanism, which comprises an electric heating wire and a hot air circulation assembly. The electric heating wire is installed on the inner wall of the box body. The hot air circulation assembly includes a circulating fan, a circulation pipe, and a temperature sensor. The circulating fan is installed on the outer wall of the box body. The inlet end of the circulation pipe is connected to the circulating fan, and the outlet end is connected to the interior of the box body. The temperature sensor is installed on the inner wall of the box body. The electric heating wire heats the air inside the box, and the circulating fan circulates the hot air through the circulation pipe, making the temperature inside the box more uniform and improving drying efficiency and quality. The temperature sensor can monitor the temperature inside the box in real time and provide temperature feedback to the control unit.

[0018] Preferably, in the above-mentioned solid beverage drying oven, a second solenoid valve is installed on the circulation pipe. The second solenoid valve, the electric heating wire, the circulating fan, and the temperature sensor are all electrically connected to the control unit. The control unit can precisely control the heating power of the electric heating wire and the operating status of the circulating fan based on the feedback signal from the temperature sensor, achieving precise temperature control within the oven and ensuring that the drying process is carried out under optimal temperature conditions, thus guaranteeing the quality of the solid beverage.

[0019] Preferably, the above-mentioned solid beverage drying box further includes a support assembly, which includes a base plate and multiple support rods. The base plate is located below the box body, and its upper surface has a collection box corresponding to the discharge port. The top and bottom ends of each support rod are respectively fixed between the bottom wall of the box body and the upper surface of the base plate. The support assembly provides stable support for the entire drying box, and the collection box can conveniently collect the material discharged from the discharge port, facilitating subsequent packaging and processing, and improving the convenience and efficiency of production.

[0020] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a solid beverage drying box, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. After drying, the receiving plate of this utility model can be rotated by the drive mechanism to flip the rotating shaft, so that the material can be quickly discharged to the discharge port. Compared with the traditional method of pulling out the tray one by one, the discharge time is greatly shortened and the production efficiency is improved. At the same time, the design of the guide plate allows the material to slide smoothly into the discharge port along the inclined guide plate during the discharge process, avoiding waste caused by spillage during the discharge process and reducing production costs.

[0022] 2. The vibrating motor of this utility model is installed on the bottom wall of the receiving plate. When the material is discharged, it can generate vibration, which makes the material more evenly distributed on the receiving plate. At the same time, the vibration also helps the hot air to penetrate the material better, improves the uniformity of drying, and ensures the consistency of product quality.

[0023] 3. The electric heating wire and hot air circulation component in the heating mechanism of this utility model can accurately regulate the temperature inside the chamber, and the humidity sensor and dehumidification fan in the dehumidification mechanism can monitor and control the humidity inside the chamber in real time, providing a stable environment for the drying of solid beverages and helping to improve product quality.

[0024] 4. The control unit of this utility model is also electrically connected to each component in the dehumidification mechanism and the heating mechanism. Based on the feedback signals from the humidity sensor and the temperature sensor, it can automatically control the working status of the dehumidification fan, the first solenoid valve, the electric heating wire, the circulating fan and the second solenoid valve, so as to realize the automatic adjustment of temperature and humidity inside the chamber, reduce the error of manual operation, and improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0025] 5. The storage bin of this utility model allows materials to continuously enter the box through the feed inlet. Combined with the automatic discharge function, it realizes continuous production of solid beverage drying and improves production efficiency. The collection box under the support component can easily collect the dried materials, which is convenient for subsequent packaging and storage, and further optimizes the production process.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] 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.

[0035] See appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 This utility model discloses a solid beverage drying box, including a box body 1, with a feed inlet 11 on the top wall and a discharge outlet 12 on the bottom wall; it also includes:

[0036] The receiving plate 2 is located inside the housing 1. A rotating shaft 3 is fixedly fixed through the surface of the receiving plate 2. The two ends of the rotating shaft 3 are rotatably connected to the two side walls opposite to the housing 1, and one end of the shaft extends out of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the power output shaft of the drive mechanism 4.

[0037] The control unit is electrically connected to the control end of the drive mechanism 4. After drying is completed, the control unit controls the drive mechanism 4 to drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, so that the receiving plate 2 flips around the axis of the rotating shaft 3 to achieve automatic discharge towards the discharge port 12.

[0038] To further optimize the above technical solution, a conveying pipe (not shown in the figure) extending into the interior of the box 1 is connected at the inlet 11, so that the material enters the receiving plate 2 through the conveying pipe. There is a certain gap between the conveying pipe and the upper surface of the receiving plate 2, which can ensure that all the material falls into the receiving plate 2. At the same time, a discharge pipe (not shown in the figure) extending to the bottom of the box 1 is connected at the outlet 12.

[0039] To further optimize the above technical solution, the drive mechanism 4 includes a support frame 41 fixed to the outer wall of the housing 1, and a drive motor 42 mounted on the support frame 41. The power output shaft of the drive motor 42 is connected to the rotating shaft 3 via a coupling.

[0040] To further optimize the above technical solution, two symmetrically arranged guide plates 13 are fixed on the two opposite inner sidewalls of the box body 1 (that is, in the length direction of the box body 1) and below the receiving plate 2. The end of the guide plate 13 away from the inner sidewall of the box body 1 is inclined downward and fixed at the edge of the discharge port 12.

[0041] To further optimize the above technical solution, a vibration motor 5 with an eccentric block is installed on the bottom wall of the receiving plate 2, and the vibration motor 5 is electrically connected to the control unit.

[0042] To further optimize the above technical solution, the vibration motor 5 is intermittently controlled by the control unit, and a rubber shock-absorbing pad is provided between the vibration motor 5 and the receiving plate 2.

[0043] To further optimize the above technical solution, a self-lubricating bearing is used at the connection between the rotating shaft 3 and the housing 1 to avoid vibration causing wear and abnormal noise.

[0044] To further optimize the above technical solution, the receiving plate 2 is provided with an array of ventilation holes 21. The diameter of the ventilation holes 21 is smaller than the particle size of the material, and the holes of the ventilation holes 21 are set as a conical structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

[0045] To further optimize the above technical solution, a breathable film is fixed on the upper surface of the receiving plate 2, which can further prevent the material from falling through the vent holes 21 during the drying process; so that the material always remains stably on the breathable film on the receiving plate 2, ensuring the smooth progress of the drying process.

[0046] To further optimize the above technical solution, a first vertical baffle is fixed to the two sides of the receiving plate 2 perpendicular to the rotating shaft 3 (that is, the two sides of the receiving plate 2 in the width direction). Electric push rods are fixed to the two opposing inner sidewalls of the housing 1 parallel to the rotating shaft 3. The telescopic ends of the two electric push rods are arranged facing the rotating shaft 3, and a second vertical baffle is fixed to the telescopic end of each electric push rod. The second vertical baffles cooperate with the two sides of the receiving plate 2 in the length direction. During the drying process, the telescopic ends of the electric push rods extend, causing the second vertical baffles to fit against the sides of the receiving plate 2 in the length direction (the cross-section where the second vertical baffles abut against the receiving plate 2 can be...). The shape (horizontal represents receiving plate 2, vertical represents second vertical baffle) is designed to prevent material from falling when the vibrating motor 5 is running. At the same time, the surface of the second vertical baffle that contacts the receiving plate 2 has a rubber strip. When drying is complete, the vibrating motor 5 stops running, and the extension end of the electric push rod drives the second vertical baffle to retract. Then, the drive motor 42 drives the rotating shaft 3 to drive the receiving plate 2 to rotate, so as to discharge the material. When the receiving plate 2 rotates, there is no interference between it and the second vertical baffle.

[0047] To further optimize the above technical solution, a storage bin 14 is installed on the top of the box 1, and the discharge port of the storage bin 14 is connected to the feed port 11.

[0048] To further optimize the above technical solution, a dehumidification mechanism 6 is also included. The dehumidification mechanism 6 includes a dehumidification fan 61, a dehumidification pipe 62, and a humidity sensor 63. The dehumidification fan 61 is installed on the top of the housing 1. The inlet end of the dehumidification pipe 62 is connected to the dehumidification fan 61, and the outlet end is connected to the inside of the housing 1. The humidity sensor 63 is installed on the inner top wall of the housing 1.

[0049] To further optimize the above technical solution, a first solenoid valve is installed on the dehumidification pipe 62; the first solenoid valve, the dehumidification fan 61, and the humidity sensor 63 are all electrically connected to the control unit.

[0050] To further optimize the above technical solution, a heating mechanism 7 is also included. The heating mechanism 7 includes an electric heating wire 71 and a hot air circulation assembly 72. The electric heating wire 71 is installed on the inner side wall of the housing 1. The hot air circulation assembly 72 includes a circulating fan 721, a circulating pipe 722 and a temperature sensor 723. The circulating fan 721 is installed on the outer side wall of the housing 1. The inlet end of the circulating pipe 722 is connected to the circulating fan 721, and the outlet end is connected to the inside of the housing 1. The temperature sensor 723 is installed on the inner side wall of the housing 1.

[0051] To further optimize the above technical solution, multiple upward-sloping spray holes are provided on the pipe wall of the circulation pipe 722 near the bottom wall of the receiving plate 2. The axis of the spray holes forms a 30° angle with the horizontal plane, so that the hot air penetrates the material layer obliquely upward and forms a convection-equilibrium temperature.

[0052] To further optimize the above technical solution, the circulation pipe 722 of the hot air circulation component 72 is located below the receiving plate 2, so that the material will not be blown away when the hot air is circulated; the array of ventilation holes 21 allows the hot air to pass through the receiving plate 2 from top to bottom, and with the heating of the electric heating wire 71, the evaporation of moisture inside the material is accelerated, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the material and shortening the drying time.

[0053] To further optimize the above technical solution, a second solenoid valve is installed on the circulation pipe 722. The second solenoid valve, the electric heating wire 71, the circulation fan 721, and the temperature sensor 723 are all electrically connected to the control unit.

[0054] To further optimize the above technical solution, a support component 8 is also included. The support component 8 includes a base plate 81 and multiple support rods 82. The base plate 81 is located below the box body 1, and its upper surface has a collection box 9 corresponding to the discharge port 12. The top and bottom ends of each support rod 82 are respectively fixed between the bottom wall of the box body 1 and the upper surface of the base plate 81.

[0055] The control unit can control the opening and closing of the above-mentioned components, adjust the operating parameters, and make adjustments in real time according to the actual situation.

[0056] The embodiments of this utility model are as follows:

[0057] In use, the extension end of the electric push rod drives the second vertical baffle to abut against the side of the receiving plate 2 along its length. Material is added to the storage bin 14 and falls onto the receiving plate 2 through the feed inlet 11 and the conveying pipe. The control unit turns on the electric heating wire 71 to heat the inside of the box 1, and at the same time controls the vibration motor 5 to move intermittently to dry the material. According to the information fed back by the temperature sensor 723, the control unit controls the opening time of the circulating fan 721 and adjusts the temperature of the electric heating wire 71, the wind speed of the circulating fan 721 and other parameters according to the actual situation. At the same time, according to the information monitored by the humidity sensor 63, if the humidity exceeds the preset value, the control unit controls the dehumidification fan 61 to start to remove moisture. After drying, the extension end of the electric push rod drives the second vertical baffle to retract, and at the same time controls the drive motor 42 to drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate the receiving plate 2, so that the material on the receiving plate 2 is discharged through the guide plate 13 and the discharge port 12 into the collection box 9 for subsequent processing.
