Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pepper drying equipment, specifically an adjustable multi-layer circulating hot air drying box for drying pepper. Background Technology

[0002] Sichuan pepper (Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim.) is a deciduous small tree or perennial plant belonging to the Rutaceae family and the Zanthoxylum genus. It has tall stems with short thorns on the branches. The leaves are small, opposite, and sessile. The inflorescences are terminal or borne on the terminal branches of lateral branches. The perianth segments are yellowish-green, roughly the same shape and size; female flowers rarely have fertile stamens. The fruit is purplish-red, with single mericarps and scattered, slightly raised oil glands. It flowers from April to May and fruits from August to September or October. The name "Sichuan pepper" comes from the small, raised oil glands on the pericarp that resemble flowers.

[0003] Sichuan pepper is a widespread species, native to China and originating in the Himalayas. It is found in all provinces and regions of China except Taiwan, Hainan, and Guangdong. Sichuan pepper reproduces in two ways: sexually through seed sowing, and vegetatively through root and stem grafting, cuttings, etc. It is commonly found in plains to high-altitude mountains, is drought-tolerant, prefers sunlight, and has a strong ability to survive independently.

[0004] In addition, Sichuan pepper can expel roundworms and kill parasites, and can be used for abdominal pain caused by intestinal parasites in children. However, excessive consumption of Sichuan pepper can lead to poisoning. Sichuan pepper contains camphor, which has a certain degree of toxicity. Mild cases can damage liver function, while severe cases can cause poisoning, fainting, and other symptoms. Sichuan pepper wood is typically pale yellow, with a deep yellow hue when exposed to air. It has a uniform wood structure, a bright luster, and the wood has artistic and craft value.

[0005] Traditional methods for drying Sichuan peppercorns have many problems, such as low drying efficiency and uneven drying. Although there are some Sichuan peppercorn drying equipment on the market, most of them have disadvantages such as complex structure, inconvenient operation, and high energy consumption. Moreover, they cannot flexibly adjust the drying parameters according to the type and moisture content of the Sichuan peppercorns. Therefore, an adjustable multi-layer circulating hot air drying box is needed to improve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] For examples, please refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] The adjustable multi-layer circulating hot air drying box for drying Sichuan pepper includes a main body 1, and a heating component 2 and a drying component 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the main body 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the heating component 2 includes a base frame 201, with a bellows 202 fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 201. An electric heating generator 203 is installed inside the bellows 202, and a hot air output pipe 204 is fixedly connected to the side of the electric heating generator 203. The drying component 3 includes a drying chamber 301, with a support block 302 fixedly connected to the side of the drying chamber 301. A drying rack 303 is installed on the top of the support block 302, and a tray 304 is fixedly connected inside the drying rack 303. Several ventilation holes are evenly opened inside the tray 304. The height of the drying rack 303 can be adjusted by using the placement position of the drying rack 303 on different support blocks 302. The height of the drying rack 303 is adjustable, and the drying position can be flexibly adjusted according to the moisture content and drying degree of different peppercorns. The evenly opened ventilation holes inside the tray 304 can ensure that hot air can pass through the peppercorns evenly, improving the drying efficiency.

[0030] The drying chamber 301 is equipped with a second circulating air duct 306 at the top and a first circulating air duct 305 at the bottom. The air box 202 is connected to the drying chamber 301. Several support blocks 302 are provided. The second circulating air duct 306 at the top of the drying chamber 301 can guide hot air from the top to the bottom, while the first circulating air duct 305 at the bottom can guide hot air from the bottom to the top, thus forming an up-and-down circulating flow of hot air. This ensures a uniform temperature distribution inside the drying chamber 301. The design of the circulating air ducts ensures a uniform temperature distribution inside the drying chamber 301, avoids local overheating or overcooling, and improves the drying quality.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a protective box 308 is fixedly connected to the side of the drying chamber 301. A telescopic rod 309 is installed on the side of the protective box 308. A baffle 310 is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic rod 309. Rubber sealing strips 311 are fixedly connected to the side and bottom of the baffle 310. The main body 1 includes a support frame 101. A support tube seat 105 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 101. A top plate 106 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 101. A controller 102 is fixedly connected to the side of the support frame 101. An operation interface 103 is fixedly connected to the side of the controller 102. The operation interface 103 has a side... The drying chamber 301 is equipped with adjustment buttons 104. The extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 309 can control the automatic opening and closing of the baffle 310, thereby improving drying efficiency. The rubber sealing strips 311 on the sides and bottom of the baffle 310 can ensure the airtightness of the drying chamber 301. The rubber sealing strips 311 can tightly fit the gap between the drying chamber door and the chamber body, effectively preventing heat loss, improving drying efficiency, and reducing energy consumption. The rubber sealing strips 311 can also prevent cold air from entering the drying chamber, avoiding the formation of condensation due to temperature differences, thereby maintaining a dry environment inside the chamber and extending the drying time.

[0032] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the adjustable multi-layer circulating hot air drying box for drying Sichuan peppercorns designed in this scheme is in operation, the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 309 controls the baffle 310 to raise and lower the drying box body 301, thereby opening the drying box body 301, removing the drying rack 303, and placing the Sichuan peppercorns to be dried on the tray 304. The drying position is then flexibly adjusted according to the different moisture contents and drying requirements of the Sichuan peppercorns. Specifically, the height of the drying rack 303 can be adjusted by utilizing the placement of the drying rack 303 on different trays 302, thus achieving the desired drying effect. The purpose of height adjustment of 03 is to use the heating method of electric heating generator 203. The temperature can be precisely adjusted by controller 102. Hot air is discharged into drying chamber 301 from hot air output pipe 204 and transported by conveying air duct 307. The second circulation air duct 306 set at the top of drying chamber 301 can guide hot air from the top to the bottom of drying chamber 301, while the first circulation air duct 305 set at the bottom can guide hot air from the bottom to the top, thus forming an up-and-down circulating hot air flow to ensure uniform temperature distribution in drying chamber 301.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
