Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production equipment technology, specifically a drying device for food production. Background Technology

[0002] Food is a substance that has been processed and can be consumed by humans. It includes processed food, semi-finished food, and unprocessed food. In order to transport and store food over long distances, fresh food often needs to undergo a series of processing steps. Among them, drying fresh food is an important step to extend the storage time of food.

[0003] Existing food drying equipment typically places food on a drying mechanism and dries it by heating. However, when drying thicker foods, uneven heating can lead to situations where the surface of the food is carbonized while the inside remains uncooked. Consequently, operators need to manually turn the food over and adjust its position to ensure it receives sufficient and even heating during the drying process. This significantly increases the workload and risk of burns for the operators. To reduce the workload of operators and ensure more thorough and even heating during food drying, we propose a drying device for food production. Utility Model Content

[0014] Beneficial effects

[0015] This invention provides a drying device for food production. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This drying device for food production involves placing the food to be dried in a drying mesh cylinder, closing the ventilation valve, and using a vacuum pump to create a low-pressure vacuum inside the drying chamber. The controller then controls the heating element to heat the food, and the motor starts. The rotating cylinder, driven by meshing gears, rotates, causing the drying mesh cylinder to revolve around the rotating cylinder. The rotating cylinder drives a rotating bevel gear, which in turn rotates on a meshing fixed bevel gear. The drying mesh cylinder rotates on its own axis around a rotating column, causing the food inside to tumble and rotate. This ensures that all parts of the food are close to the heating element, resulting in more thorough heating. Furthermore, the low-pressure vacuum created by the vacuum pump facilitates the evaporation and drying of moisture within the food. This device utilizes the revolution and rotation of the drying mesh cylinder to ensure more thorough and even heating of the food. It also eliminates the need for manual turning of the food by operators, reducing the workload and risk of burns. The low-pressure vacuum inside the chamber increases the rate of moisture evaporation, improving drying efficiency. The entire drying process is more stable and safer, resulting in better drying effects and higher drying quality. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The material feeding rotation assembly includes several rotating columns 19, which are rotatably mounted on the rotating cylinder 15. Several heating tubes 12 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 1.

Several fixed bevel gears 20 are fixedly installed on the fixing rod 16. The rotating bevel gear 21 meshes with the corresponding fixed bevel gear 20. A screen cover is hinged on the drying screen cylinder 18.

[0026] In use, open the door 2, place the food into the drying mesh cylinder 18 through the mesh cover, close the door 2, close the ventilation valve 11, open the control valve of the vacuum pump 5, click to start the vacuum pump 5 on the controller 3, turn on the heating tube 12 to heat, start the motor 6, the output shaft of the motor 6 rotates, driving the drive gear 13 to rotate, driving the driven gear 14 to rotate, the driven gear 14 drives the rotating cylinder 15 to rotate, driving the rotating column 19 mounted on the rotating cylinder 15 to rotate, the drying mesh cylinder 18 fixedly connected to the rotating column 19 begins to perform a circular revolution, the rotating bevel gear 21 fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating column 19 performs a circular motion around the meshing fixed bevel gear 20, driving the rotating column 19 to rotate, the drying mesh box 18 begins to perform a circular rotation, the various rotations of the drying mesh box 18 cause the food to tumble and dry.

[0027] A residue collection tray is installed at the bottom of the box 1. The residue collection tray collects the residue and debris generated during food drying. The residue falls into the residue collection tray through the gaps in the drying mesh cylinder 18.

[0028] The inner wall of the box 1 is made of heat-insulating material, and the outer wall of the box 1 is coated with heat-insulating material.

[0029] The controller 3 is equipped with a display screen. The controller 3 is electrically connected to the signal terminals of the display screen, the motor 6, the vacuum pump 5, the vacuum pressure gauge 9, and the temperature monitoring meter 10 via wires. The controller 3 controls the start of the motor 6 and the vacuum pump 5, receives the electrical signals from the vacuum pressure gauge 9 and the temperature monitoring meter 10, and performs real-time monitoring and control of the internal conditions of the chamber 1.

[0030] The observation window 8 is equipped with high-temperature resistant tempered glass, allowing operators to observe the food drying process inside the cabinet 1 through the glass of the observation window 8.

This activates the heating element 12, starts the motor 6, and the output shaft of the motor 6 rotates, driving the drive gear 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 14. The driven gear 14 drives the rotating cylinder 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating column 19 mounted on the rotating cylinder 15 to rotate. The drying mesh cylinder 18, fixedly connected to the rotating column 19, begins to revolve in a circular motion. The other end of the rotating column 19 is fixedly connected to the rotating... The moving bevel gear 21 revolves around the meshing fixed bevel gear 20, driving the rotating column 19 to rotate. The drying mesh box 18 then begins to rotate. The rotation of the drying mesh box 18 causes the food to tumble and dry. The food can fully contact the heat source during tumbling, avoiding uneven heating of some parts of the food, thus making the food more fully and evenly heated. This device also eliminates the need for operators to manually turn the food. The vacuum low-pressure state inside the box 1 can increase the rate of moisture evaporation from the food, effectively improving the drying efficiency and greatly reducing the workload of the operators.
