Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable spin dryer technology, specifically a vegetable spin dryer for vegetable processing. Background Technology

[0002] When processing vegetables, the surface of freshly washed vegetables will be covered with water. In order to quickly remove the water from the surface of the vegetables, ensure their freshness, and reduce the growth of bacteria, a special spin-drying device is usually used to spin-dry the vegetables.

[0003] However, most existing spin dryers are inconvenient to use when removing the dried vegetables. For example, the vegetable spin dryers with publication numbers CN221729668U and CN222357220U require manual removal of the dried vegetables one by one, or the vegetables need to be packed in a cloth bag before use and unloaded after spin drying, resulting in low spin drying efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to design a vegetable spin dryer for vegetable processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0028] In the following description, embodiments of the vegetable centrifuge for vegetable processing according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Figure 1-4 This invention illustrates a vegetable desiccant for vegetable processing according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising:

[0030] The casing 1 and the dehydration cylinder 2 rotate at the center of the inner cavity of the casing 1. The dehydration cylinder 2 is made of food-grade stainless steel. Specifically, a top cover 5 is bolted to the top of the casing 1, and a feed door 6 is installed on the surface of the top cover 5. A fixing rod 7 is welded to the top of the inner cavity of the dehydration cylinder 2. A rotating rod 8 is located at the center of the inner cavity of the dehydration cylinder 2 and is welded to the top of the fixing rod 7. The top of the rotating rod 8 extends through the inner cavity of the top cover 5 to the top of the top cover 5. A motor 9 is installed on the top of the top cover 5. The output shaft of the motor 9 and the rotating rod 8 are connected by a belt pulley. The bottom of the dehydration cylinder 2 extends to the outside of the bottom of the casing 1. The bottom of the casing is threaded with a sealing cap 3. Specifically, a handwheel 4 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the surface of the sealing cap 3. The sealing cap 3 is a hollow block, which reduces the inertia of the sealing cap 3 when rotating at high speed and prevents the sealing cap 3 and the dehydration cylinder 2 from loosening. A sealing ring is provided between the sealing cap 3 and the dehydration cylinder 2 to prevent water leakage. Specifically, a fixing hoop 10 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the surface of the casing 1. A support leg 11 is installed on the bottom of the fixing hoop 10. The support leg 11 is arranged in a ring at the bottom of the casing 1. A large-diameter drain pipe 12 is provided at the bottom of the casing 1. The large-diameter drain pipe 12 extends to the outside of the fixing hoop 10. A valve is provided on the surface of the large-diameter drain pipe 12.

[0031] Specifically, multiple positioning rollers 13 are installed in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. The positioning rollers 13 are arranged in a ring on the surface of the dehydration cylinder 2. The positioning rollers 13 roll on the surface of the dehydration cylinder 2. By setting the positioning rollers 13, when the dehydration cylinder 2 rotates in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 for spin drying, the positioning rollers 13 can clamp the dehydration cylinder 2 and roll on the outer surface of the dehydration cylinder 2, thereby improving the stability of the dehydration cylinder 2 rotating in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1.

[0032] Specifically, a fixing ring 14 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the outer surface of the dehydration cylinder 2. Multiple rollers 15 are arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, forming a circular array on the surface of the dehydration cylinder 2. The bottom of the fixing ring 14 has a groove for the rollers 15 to roll, and the top of the fixing ring 14 is sloped. A drainage hole is provided at the top of the dehydration cylinder 2 located on the fixing ring 14. The fixing ring 14, rollers 15, rotating rod 8, and fixing rod 7 are all made of corrosion-resistant materials. Through the arrangement of the fixing ring 14 and rollers 15, the dehydration cylinder 2 can be lifted, reducing the pressure on the rotating rod 8. Secondly, when the dehydration cylinder 2 rotates inside the outer shell 1, the idler roller 15 rotates inside the groove of the fixing ring 14, which greatly reduces the resistance between the fixing ring 14 and the idler roller 15 and improves the stability of the rotation of the dehydration cylinder 2. Specifically, a sealing ring 16 is bonded to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. The dehydration cylinder 2 rotates inside the sealing ring 16. By setting the sealing ring 16, the sealing performance of the outer shell 1 and the dehydration cylinder 2 can be improved, reducing the occurrence of water leakage in the outer shell 1. The material of the sealing ring 16 can be any one of nitrile rubber, fluororubber, hydrogenated nitrile rubber and polyurethane.

[0033] Working principle: When using this utility model, the user opens the feeding door 6 and adds the vegetables to be dehydrated into the inner cavity of the dehydration cylinder 2. Then, the motor 9 is started to drive the rotating rod 8 to rotate, thereby driving the fixed rod 7 and the dehydration cylinder 2 to rotate in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 for spin-drying. At this time, water will flow down the inclined surface at the top of the fixed ring 14 into the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 and be discharged from the large-diameter drain pipe 12. After the dehydration operation is completed, the handwheel 4 is held and rotated to open the sealing cover 3, so that the dehydrated vegetables can be quickly unloaded from the bottom of the dehydration cylinder 2, thereby improving the efficiency of spin-drying. In order to prevent the sealing cover 3 and the dehydration cylinder 2 from loosening during high-speed rotation, the rotation direction of the dehydration cylinder 2 and the thread direction on the sealing cover 3 can be set to be the same, or a locking device can be used to lock the sealing cover 3 and the dehydration cylinder 2.

[0034] In summary, this vegetable dehydrator for vegetable processing uses a dehydration cylinder 2 that runs through the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. Rotating the dehydration cylinder 2 dehydrates the vegetables, and opening the sealing cover 3 allows for convenient and quick unloading of the dehydrated vegetables, thereby improving the efficiency of dehydration.

[0035] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
