[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown:

[0029] A bird's nest drying device for easy shaping includes a box body 1 and a fan 2. The top of the box body 1 is provided with a box cover 11, which is connected to the box body 1 by a hinge. The box cover 11 is provided with a handle 12, which is located on the box cover 11 away from the hinge.

[0030] The enclosure 1 is provided with a ventilation opening 13, which is located on the side of the enclosure 1, and a dustproof net 14 is installed on the ventilation opening 13.

[0031] An ultraviolet disinfection lamp 16 is installed on the top surface inside the box 1. During the drying process, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 16 is turned on, using ultraviolet light to disinfect and sterilize the bird's nest and the inside of the box 1, effectively killing bacteria, mold and other microorganisms.

[0032] Meanwhile, a protective device is provided on the outside of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 16. The protective device is made of food-grade material that is transparent and can transmit ultraviolet rays, to prevent the bird's nest from coming into direct contact with the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 16, avoid physical damage to the bird's nest, and facilitate observation of the internal disinfection status.

[0033] The box 1 is equipped with a horizontal partition 17, on which water filter holes are opened. Multiple evenly arranged swing mechanisms are installed on the partition 17, and the swing mechanisms are located near the side wall of the box 1.

[0034] The swing mechanism includes a swing body 3 and a support 4 that are rotatably connected. The swing body 3 consists of an upper shaping mold and a lower balance column 36. The shaping mold and the balance column 36 are connected by a support column 35. The balance fulcrum of the swing body 3 is located on the support column 35. Symmetrically arranged swing arms 5 are installed on the support column 35. The swing arms 5 are rotatably connected to the support 4.

[0035] The molding die includes a detachably connected base 31 and a cover plate 32. In this embodiment, the base 31 is made of food-grade stainless steel. The edge of the port on the top surface of the base 31 is provided with a stepped groove. The bottom surface of the cover plate 32 is provided with a food-grade silicone boss that mates with the stepped groove, thereby improving the stability of the fit between the base 31 and the cover plate 32 and preventing material leakage from the molding die.

[0036] Both the base 31 and the cover plate 32 are provided with through holes 33. A shaping block 34 is provided on the protrusion of the cover plate 32. The through holes 33 are provided through the shaping block 34. The shaping block 34 of the shaping mold and the base 31 form a cup-shaped mold groove.

[0037] In this embodiment, the through hole 33 is shaped like an inverted trumpet, with a large inner diameter (e.g., 5-8 mm) and a small outer diameter (e.g., 3-5 mm), and the hole wall is inclined at an angle of about 10°-15°.

[0038] By setting through holes 33, both moisture can be discharged and ventilation efficiency can be improved. The large inner diameter of through holes 33 can hold the bird's nest colloid, while the small outer diameter can block the bird's nest and limit its falling outwards. The large inner opening increases the contact area with the bird's nest. After the airflow flows in at high speed from the small outer hole, it diffuses in the funnel-shaped channel, forming a "Venturi effect" to accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the bird's nest. After the bird's nest solidifies, the contact area with the inner side of the channel is large, but the funnel-shaped structure concentrates the resistance at the edge of the small outer hole during demolding, reducing the risk of adhesion.

[0039] In addition, spiral guide grooves can be processed on the inner wall of through hole 33 with a pitch of 2-3mm and a groove depth of 0.5-1mm. This structural design is not only conducive to centrifugal drying of water, but also enhances the disturbance of airflow on bird's nest during ventilation and drying, thereby improving the uniformity of drying.

[0040] A swing shaft 41 is installed on the top of the bracket 4, and a torsion spring is installed between the swing arm 5 and the swing shaft 41 to drive the swing body 3 to return to its original position. The elastic coefficient of the torsion spring is matched according to the weight of the swing component and the wind force, and its elastic coefficient ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 N·m, ensuring that the swing body 3 of the swing mechanism can return to its original position under the action of the torsion spring after swinging 30 degrees, which facilitates continuous operation.

[0041] The swing shaft 41 has a shaft hole that is rotatably connected to the swing arm 5. A limit groove 42 is provided on the inner wall of the shaft hole. The opening angle of the limit groove 42 is ±30°. A limit block 51 is installed on the swing arm 5 and is provided in the limit groove 42.

[0042] The inner wall of the limiting groove 42 is an involute profile with a concave curved surface, and the outer end of the limiting block 51 is set as a conjugate involute with a convex profile. By designing the contours of the limiting groove 42 and the limiting block 51 as conjugate involutes, the two can achieve smooth contact when moving relative to each other.

[0043] Involute contact gradually transitions from line contact to surface contact. Compared to the rigid collision of traditional straight grooves and rectangular blocks, it can significantly reduce impact and is suitable for scenarios that require frequent oscillation.

[0044] A drive plate 38 is mounted on the balance column 36, and the upper and lower edges of the drive plate 38 are provided with arc-shaped flanges.

[0045] A counterweight 37 can also be installed below the balance column 36. By adjusting the overall center of gravity, the center of mass of the pendulum 3 can be brought closer to the axis of rotation or to the expected equilibrium position, thereby reducing swaying or eccentric vibration during swinging and improving the stability of the movement; ensuring that the pendulum 3 moves along the pendulum trajectory and avoiding loss of control of movement due to the shift of the center of gravity.

[0046] The fan 2 is provided with a weak air duct 21 extending into the housing 1 and corresponding to the shaping mold; the fan 2 is provided with a strong air duct 22 extending into the housing 1 and corresponding to the drive plate 38.

[0047] The pendulum 3 of the swing mechanism performs a pendulum motion, which generates centrifugal force, causing the water in the bird's nest to be thrown out through the through hole 33 on the shaping mold, thus shortening the natural drying time.

[0048] In this embodiment, the fan 2 is a parallel double-suction centrifugal variable frequency fan 2, with a power adjustment range of 2-5kW, and the wind speed can be adjusted according to the needs of different drying stages. During the spin-drying stage, the fan 2 operates at high power, blowing strong winds to the wind drive plate 38 through the strong wind duct 22, with a wind speed of 8-10m / s, driving the swing mechanism to swing rapidly, and using centrifugal force to throw out the moisture in the bird's nest through the mold holes; during the air-drying stage, the fan 2 switches to low power operation, blowing weak winds to the mold through the weak wind duct 21, with a wind speed of 2-3m / s, to evenly ventilate and dry the bird's nest.

[0049] In addition, the weak wind duct 21 and the strong wind duct 22 can be connected to separate fans 2.

[0050] The bottom surface of the inner side of the tank 1 is provided with a water collection tank 18 and a drain outlet 19. The top surface of the drain outlet 19 is lower than the top surface of the water collection tank 18, forming a water level difference.

[0051] The bottom surface of the box 1 between the water collection tank 18 and the drain outlet 19 is a sloping structure that slopes towards the drain outlet 19.

[0052] The water collection tank 18 is used to collect the water splashed out of the bird's nest in the shaping mold, and the drain outlet 19 is used to drain the excess water overflowing from the water collection tank 18. When the water level in the water collection tank 18 reaches a certain height, the water can be quickly drained through the drain outlet 19 to prevent water backflow from affecting the drying effect or causing bacterial growth. The bottom structure of this embodiment drains water in time, reducing the risk of bacterial growth in a humid environment and ensuring hygiene and safety during the bird's nest drying process. At the same time, it prevents water from splashing back into the mold, avoiding the partially dried bird's nest from becoming damp again and affecting the drying and shaping effect.

[0053] The drain outlet 19 can be equipped with a filter screen to prevent bird's nest fragments or impurities from clogging the pipe; the drain outlet 19 with a sealing cap can be closed when not draining to prevent odors from escaping or external debris from entering; a water collection tank 15 can also be connected below the drain outlet 19.

[0054] How to use:

[0055] First, separate the cover plate 32 and the base 31 of the shaping mold, place the bird's nest to be dried in the mold groove of the shaping mold, and press the bird's nest with the shaping block 34 to ensure that the bird's nest fits tightly with the mold groove.

[0056] Then, fan 2 is started. During the spin-drying stage, the power of fan 2 is adjusted to high power via the frequency converter. Strong air is blown from the strong air duct 22 to the wind drive plate 38, pushing the swing body 3 of the swing mechanism to swing in the direction of the wind. After swinging to the highest point under the wind drive, the drive plate 38 returns to its original position and swings in the opposite direction under the action of the torsion spring. The swing frequency can reach 40-60 times / minute, and the swing angle is ±30°. Under the action of centrifugal force, the moisture in the bird's nest is thrown out through the holes on the mold. The spin-drying continues for 1-2 hours until most of the moisture on the surface of the bird's nest is removed.

[0057] After the spin-drying stage is completed, the power of fan 2 is switched to low power via the frequency converter, and the weak air duct 21 blows a weak airflow into the shaping mold to slowly air-dry the bird's nest. During this stage, the oscillating mechanism oscillates slightly under the action of the torsion spring and the weak airflow, with the oscillation angle within ±15°, so that the airflow can evenly contact all parts of the bird's nest and accelerate moisture evaporation. The air-drying process lasts for 5-6 hours. During this period, the wind speed of fan 2 and the oscillation frequency of the oscillation mechanism can be adjusted appropriately according to the actual drying condition of the bird's nest.

[0058] Once the bird's nest has reached the required level of dryness, fan 2 stops operating, and the oscillating mechanism automatically resets under the action of the torsion spring. The air-dried and shaped bird's nest is then removed for subsequent packaging and other processing steps.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
