[0002] In the food processing industry, fruit air drying is a common processing method. By reducing the moisture content of fruits, not only can their shelf life be extended, but their nutritional components and unique flavor can also be preserved, which has important economic and practical value. Simple fans or air drying devices are used for auxiliary drying. However, after long-term use, the fans of existing fruit drying devices are prone to failure, and a lot of dust will accumulate on the fan blades. Since the fans are usually fixed to the inner wall of the drying box, it is inconvenient to disassemble them for inspection or cleaning. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a drying device for fruit processing, which solves the problem that after long-term use, the fan of the existing drying device for fruit processing is prone to failure, a lot of dust will accumulate on the fan blades, and since the fan is generally fixed to the inner wall of the drying box, it is inconvenient to disassemble it for inspection or cleaning.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying device for fruit processing, comprising a drying box, four mounting brackets fixedly installed on one side of the drying box, mounting slots symmetrically provided on the side of the mounting brackets away from the drying box, mounting blocks fixedly installed inside the mounting slots, mounting slides symmetrically provided on both sides of the mounting blocks, a movable slide groove connected to one end of the mounting slide groove and penetrating the mounting block, a movable rod slidably installed inside the mounting slide groove, a limiting plate fixedly installed on the surface of the movable rod located inside the mounting slide groove, a fixing spring sleeved on the surface of the movable rod located inside the mounting slide groove, the end of the movable rod away from the limiting plate extending through the mounting slide groove into the movable slide groove, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the ends of two movable rods located inside the movable slide groove, a fixing bolt provided at the center of the connecting plate and threadedly connected to the mounting block through the connecting plate, trapezoidal locking blocks fixedly installed on the two movable rods on the same side of the mounting block, and a fan provided inside the mounting brackets.
[0005] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a fixing frame is symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the fan, and the fixing frame corresponds to the position of the mounting block, and the trapezoidal card block is engaged with both sides of the fixing frame.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: three exhaust ducts are provided on the side of the top of the drying box away from the mounting frame, and three air guide covers are fixedly installed on one side of the top of the drying box, with the positions of the air guide covers corresponding to the exhaust ducts.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a door panel is rotatably mounted on the side of the drying box away from the mounting frame via a pin, and a concave frame is symmetrically fixedly mounted on one side of the door panel.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a second door panel is rotatably mounted on the side of the drying box away from the mounting frame and symmetrical to the first door panel via a pin shaft; a second concave frame is symmetrically fixedly mounted on one side of the second door panel, and the second concave frame corresponds to the position of the first concave frame.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a fixing strip is slidably installed through the inside of the concave frame two, and one end of the fixing strip is slidably engaged inside the concave frame one. Limiting blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the surface of the fixing strip on the concave frame two, and rubber pads are fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the fixing strip on the two limiting blocks.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. This fruit drying device comprises a mounting frame, a moving rod, a fixing spring, a connecting plate, a trapezoidal locking block, a fan, and a fixing frame. Loosening the fixing bolts, aligning the fixing frames on both sides of the fan with the mounting groove, and moving the fan into the mounting frame, the fixing frame is pressed against the surface of the mounting block. The trapezoidal locking blocks are pressed against the sides inside the fixing frame, pushing them closer to the mounting block. This causes the moving rod to slide the limiting plate within the mounting groove, deforming the fixing spring until the fixing frame is inserted into the mounting groove. The rebound of the fixing spring then lifts the limiting plate, locking the trapezoidal locking block onto the surface of the fixing frame. Tightening the fixing bolts secures the connecting plate, ensuring the trapezoidal locking block remains firmly in place and does not easily detach. This facilitates securing the fan within the mounting frame or allowing for disassembly, maintenance, and cleaning from within the mounting frame.
[0012] 2. This fruit drying device, consisting of a door panel one, a concave frame one, a door panel two, a fixing strip, and a limiting block, allows the fruit to be placed inside the drying chamber. Door panel one and door panel two are rotated to close tightly against one side of the drying chamber, aligning the concave frame one with the fixing strip. The fixing strip is then pushed to slide inside the concave frame two, inserting one end of the fixing strip into the concave frame one until the limiting block is pressed tightly against either the concave frame one or the concave frame two. This causes the rubber pad to deform inside the concave frame one or the concave frame two, securing the fixing strip and preventing the door panel one and door panel two from easily opening.

[0018] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a drying device for fruit processing, including a drying box 1. Three exhaust troughs 15 are provided on the top side of the drying box 1 away from the mounting frame 2. Three air guide hoods 16 are fixedly installed on one side of the top of the drying box 1, and the positions of the air guide hoods 16 and the exhaust troughs 15 are corresponding. By providing exhaust troughs 15 and air guide hoods 16, when the fan 13 blows air into the drying box 1, the air inside the drying box 1 is discharged from the exhaust troughs 15. After being guided by the air guide hoods 16, the discharged air flows to one side of the drying box 1, ensuring the air pressure balance inside the drying box 1.
[0020] Four mounting brackets 2 are fixedly installed on one side of the drying box 1. The mounting brackets 2 are symmetrically provided with mounting grooves 3 on the side away from the drying box 1. Fixed frames 14 are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the fan 13, and the fixed frames 14 correspond to the positions of the mounting blocks 4. The trapezoidal blocks 12 are engaged on both sides of the fixed frames 14. Because of the mounting grooves 3 and the fixed frames 14, when the fan 13 is inserted into the mounting bracket 2, the fixed frames 14 are tightly engaged into the mounting grooves 3, ensuring that the fan 13 is fixed inside the mounting bracket 2 without misalignment.
[0021] An installation block 4 is fixedly installed inside the installation slot 3. Installation slides 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the installation block 4. One end of the installation slide 5 is connected to a movable slide 6, which passes through the installation block 4. A movable rod 7 is slidably installed inside the installation slide 5. A limiting plate 8 is fixedly installed on the surface of the movable rod 7 inside the installation slide 5. A fixing spring 9 is sleeved on the surface of the movable rod 7 inside the installation slide 5. The end of the movable rod 7 away from the limiting plate 8 extends through the installation slide 5 into the movable slide 6. Because of the limiting plate 8 and the fixing spring 9, when the fixed frame 14 is pressed against the surface of the trapezoidal block 12, it pushes and squeezes the trapezoidal block 12 closer to the installation block 4, causing the movable rod 7 to drive the limiting plate 8 to slide inside the installation slide 5, compressing the fixing spring 9 and deforming it. Under the rebound action of the fixing spring 9, the limiting plate 8 is lifted, causing the movable rod 7 to drive the trapezoidal block 12 to reset and clamp the fixed frame 14.
[0022] Two movable rods 7 are located inside the movable slide 6, with one end passing through the slide 6 and fixedly connected to a connecting plate 10. A fixing bolt 11 is provided in the center of the connecting plate 10, and the fixing bolt 11 passes through the connecting plate 10 and is threadedly connected to the mounting block 4. Two movable rods 7 on the same side of the mounting block 4 are fixedly installed with trapezoidal locking blocks 12. A fan 13 is provided inside the mounting frame 2. After the fixing frame 14 is clamped and fixed to the surface of the mounting block 4 by the fixing bolt 11, the fixing bolt 11 is tightened to pass through the connecting plate 10 and connect to the mounting block 4 to fix the connecting plate 10, ensuring that the connecting plate 10 will not drive the movable rods 7 to slide, so that the trapezoidal locking blocks 12 clamp and fix the fixing frame 14.
[0023] A door panel 17 is rotatably mounted on the side of the drying box 1 away from the mounting frame 2 via a pin. A concave frame 18 is symmetrically fixed on one side of the door panel 17. A second door panel 19 is rotatably mounted on the side of the drying box 1 away from the mounting frame 2, symmetrically positioned with respect to the door panel 17 via a pin. A second concave frame 20 is symmetrically fixed on one side of the door panel 19, and the positions of the second concave frame 20 and the first concave frame 18 correspond. Because of the door panels 17 and 19, after the fruit is placed inside the drying box 1, the door panels 17 and 19 are rotated and closed, so that the door panels 17 and 19 are tightly closed, sealing the fruit inside the drying box 1 for drying.
[0024] A fixing strip 21 is slidably installed inside the concave frame 20, and one end of the fixing strip 21 is slidably engaged inside the concave frame 18. Limiting blocks 22 are fixedly installed on both sides of the surface of the fixing strip 21 on the concave frame 20. Rubber pads 23 are fixedly installed on one side of the two limiting blocks 22 on the surface of the fixing strip 21. With the fixing strip 21 and rubber pads 23, after the door panel 17 and the door panel 29 are closed, the fixing strip 21 is pushed into the concave frame 18 until the limiting blocks 22 are pressed against the concave frame 18 or the concave frame 20. This causes the rubber pads 23 to be squeezed and deformed on the inner wall of the concave frame 18 and the concave frame 20, thus clamping and fixing the fixing strip 21 inside the concave frame 18 and the concave frame 20, ensuring that the door panel 17 and the door panel 29 will not be easily opened after closing.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0026] Tighten the fixing bolt 11 to disengage from the mounting block 4, align the fan 13 and insert it into the mounting bracket 2, so that the fixing frame 14 is pressed against the mounting block 4 and the trapezoidal locking block 12 is inserted into the mounting groove 3. The fixing frame 14 pushes the trapezoidal locking block 12 closer to the mounting block 4, causing the moving rod 7 to drive the limiting plate 8 to slide and compress the fixing spring 9 inside the mounting groove 5 until the fixing frame 14 passes the trapezoidal locking block 12. Under the rebound action of the fixing spring 9, the limiting plate 8 is lifted, causing the moving rod 7 to push the trapezoidal locking block 12 to lock onto both sides of the fixing frame 14, thus securing the fixing frame 14 and the fan 13. Inside the mounting bracket 2, tighten the fixing bolts 11 to fix the connecting plate 10. Repeat the steps to fix the four fans 13 inside the corresponding mounting bracket 2. Then place the fruit on the rack and push it into the drying box 1. Rotate the closing door panel 17 and door panel 29, and insert the fixing strip 21 into the concave frame 18 so that the door panel 17 and door panel 29 are closed and fixed on one side of the drying box 1. Start the fan 13 to blow air into the fruit inside the drying box 1. The air blown into the drying box 1 is discharged from the exhaust duct 15 to avoid excessive air pressure inside the drying box 1 until the fruit is dried.
