Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of konjac processing technology, specifically to a drying device for konjac slices. Background Technology
[0002] Konjac, also known as konjac, is a perennial herb belonging to the genus Amorphophallus in the family Araceae. It is the only perennial herb in nature that can synthesize large amounts of glucomannan.
[0003] Konjac contains starch, protein, various minerals and vitamins, and is characterized by low calories, low fat and high fiber. It has the effects of relieving constipation and weight loss, preventing arteriosclerosis, preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and lowering cholesterol. It also has a wide range of uses in the food, agriculture, industry and medicine fields. However, konjac is cold in nature, so people with symptoms of cold should eat it with caution. People with skin diseases should also eat less. Moreover, the whole plant is poisonous, especially the tuber. It should not be eaten raw and must be processed before consumption.
[0004] The processing of konjac involves multiple steps, including washing, peeling, slicing, drying, and grinding. During the drying process, the konjac slices tend to pile up, which reduces the drying effect and affects product quality.
[0005] Existing technical solutions lack a material leveling mechanism, which makes konjac slices prone to accumulation. In order to solve the problem of konjac slice accumulation in the prior art, this application proposes a new solution to address this issue by using a drive block and scraper to drive reciprocating motion, thereby scraping the konjac slices on the upper surface of the conveyor belt, making the distribution of konjac slices more uniform, avoiding accumulation, and improving the drying effect. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the above-mentioned background technology, there are shortcomings and defects in the existing technology, such as the tendency of konjac slices to accumulate.
[0007] This utility model discloses a drying device for konjac chips, including a conveyor belt, a lifting plate above the conveyor belt, two driving blocks slidably connected to the upper surface of the lifting plate, two limiting grooves formed on the upper surface of the lifting plate, two scrapers slidably connected to the lower surface of the lifting plate, a positioning plate on each side of the conveyor belt, a base below the conveyor belt, two positioning grooves formed on the outer surface of each positioning plate, a drive roller driven by the conveyor belt, and a driven roller driven by the conveyor belt.
[0008] Furthermore, a hopper is provided above the conveyor belt, a distributing roller is rotatably connected inside the hopper, and two first pulleys are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the hopper.
[0009] Furthermore, a second pulley is rotatably connected to the outer surface of each positioning plate, and each second pulley is driven by a drive belt.
[0010] Furthermore, a support plate is provided above the lifting plate, and two slide bars are slidably connected to the lower surface of the support plate, while two sliders are slidably connected to the upper surface of the support plate.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the slide bars is rotatably connected to two connecting rods at both ends, and the upper surface of the support plate is provided with four sliding grooves.
[0012] Furthermore, a drive rod is provided on the upper surface of the support plate, and the outer surface of the drive rod is connected to the internal threads of the two sliders.
[0013] Furthermore, two support members are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hopper, and two support rods are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hopper.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. This utility model, by setting up components such as a drive block and a scraper, and through the cooperation between the drive block and the scraper, enables the drive block to drive the scraper to reciprocate, thereby achieving the effect of scraping the konjac slices on the upper surface of the conveyor belt by setting up the drive block and the scraper. This solves the problem of the current technical solution where konjac slices are easy to accumulate and affect the drying effect.
[0016] 2. This utility model, by setting up components such as slide bars and connecting rods, and through the cooperation between the slide bars and connecting rods, enables the slide bars to drive the lifting plate to move up and down via the connecting rods, thereby causing the lifting plate to drive the scraper and other components to move up and down, thus achieving the effect of adjusting the height of the scraper by setting up components such as slide bars and connecting rods.

The two ends of the driven roller 10 are rotatably connected to the corresponding positioning plate 6. A motor is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the base 7. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the drive roller 9. When the motor starts, the output end of the motor drives the drive roller 9 to rotate. The drive roller 9 drives the driven roller 10 to rotate through the conveyor belt 1. This causes the konjac slices to move towards the hot air vent assembly through the conveyor belt 1. The air rod is activated. The output end of the air rod drives the drive block 3 to reciprocate. The drive block 3 drives the scraper 5 to reciprocate, thereby scraping the konjac slices on the conveyor belt 1 and preventing excessive accumulation of konjac slices.
[0026] A feeding hopper 11 is provided above the conveyor belt 1. A distributing roller 12 is rotatably connected inside the feeding hopper 11. Two first pulleys 13 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the feeding hopper 11. Several roller blades are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the distributing roller 12. The two first pulleys 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the distributing roller 12. The first pulleys 13 drive the distributing roller 12 to rotate, so that the konjac slices in the feeding hopper 11 fall onto the outer surface of the conveyor belt 1.
[0027] Each positioning plate 6 has a second pulley 14 rotatably connected to its outer surface. Each second pulley 14 is connected to a drive belt 15. Each second pulley 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the driven roller 10. Each drive belt 15 is connected to the first pulley 13.
[0028] A support plate 16 is provided above the lifting plate 2. Two slide bars 17 are slidably connected to the lower surface of the support plate 16, and two sliders 18 are slidably connected to the upper surface of the support plate 16. The two sliders 18 are symmetrically installed. Both ends of the support plate 16 are fixedly connected to the corresponding positioning plate 6. Each slide bar 17 is fixedly connected to a corresponding slider 18.

[0030] A drive rod 21 is provided on the upper surface of the support plate 16. The outer surface of the drive rod 21 is connected to the internal threads of the two sliders 18. The outer surface of the drive rod 21 is provided with a bidirectional thread. The drive rod 21 drives the two sliders 18 to slide by rotating.
[0031] Two support members 22 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hopper 11, and two support rods 23 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hopper 11. The bottom of each support member 22 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 16. The two support members 22 are rotatably connected to the corresponding end of the drive rod 21, and the bottom end of each support rod 23 is fixedly connected to the base 7.
[0032] The implementation principle is as follows: The motor is started, and its output drives the active roller 9 to rotate. The active roller 9 drives the driven roller 10 to rotate via the conveyor belt 1. The driven roller 10 drives the second pulley 14 to rotate. The second pulley 14 drives the first pulley 13 to rotate via the transmission belt 15. The first pulley 13 drives the distributing roller 12 to rotate. The distributing roller 12, through rotation, conveys the konjac slices inside the hopper 11 to the upper surface of the conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 moves the konjac slices closer to the active roller 9. The drive rod 21 is rotated, causing the slider 18 to slide. The slider 18 drives the slide bar 17 to slide. The slide bar 17, through the connecting rod 19, drives the lifting plate 2 to move up and down. The lifting plate 2 drives the scraper 5 and other components to move up and down. The air spring is started, causing the drive block 3 to reciprocate. The drive block 3 drives the scraper 5 to scrape the konjac slices on the conveyor belt 1. The hot air vent assembly is started to dry the konjac slices on the conveyor belt 1.
