Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vegetable processing technology, and specifically relates to a vegetable processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the food industry, the market demand for efficient, environmentally friendly and intelligent food processing equipment is increasing. As an important part of food processing, side dishes usually need to be washed and dehydrated during the processing. Dehydration devices are key equipment for removing excess water from side dishes.
[0003] Most existing vegetable processing equipment uses electric motors as the drive source to rotate the spin-drying drum to remove surface moisture from the vegetables. Although it can basically achieve the dehydration effect, there are still several problems in its use. After spin-drying, water droplets tend to adhere to the inner wall of the spin-drying drum. It is mostly an intermittent operation. After a batch of vegetables is spin-dried, the finished product must be taken out before the next batch of materials can be put in. It cannot achieve continuous operation, thus reducing the overall work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a vegetable processing device that can use centrifugal force to remove moisture from the surface of vegetables, and at the same time use vibration to help separate the vegetables from the inner wall of the spin-drying drum to prevent sticking. On the other hand, it can knock off water droplets generated by condensation or splashing on the surface of the spin-drying drum to keep the drum dry. Combined with the pushing physics of the spiral plate, the next batch of vegetables can be continuously put in while the previous batch of vegetables is still in the spin-drying process, so as to achieve uninterrupted operation without waiting. Compared with traditional intermittent spin-drying equipment, it significantly improves production efficiency and drying uniformity.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a vegetable processing equipment, including a fixed frame and a spin-drying mechanism disposed therein. The spin-drying mechanism includes a spin-drying cylinder rotatably connected to the fixed frame. The inner arc surface of the spin-drying cylinder is provided with a spiral plate. A rotating rod is rotatably connected between the two ends of the inner cavity of the fixed frame. The outer arc surface of the rotating rod is provided with a plurality of distributed tapping plates, which are configured to cooperate with the outer arc surface of the spin-drying cylinder. An air jet assembly is also provided at the upper end of the inner cavity of the fixed frame. A driving assembly for driving the spin-drying cylinder to rotate is also provided at one end of the fixed frame. That is, centrifugal force is used to spin off the water on the surface of the vegetables, and vibration is used to help separate the vegetables from the inner wall of the spin-drying cylinder to prevent sticking. On the other hand, water droplets generated on the surface of the spin-drying cylinder due to condensation or splashing are knocked off to keep the cylinder dry. With the pushing physics of the spiral plate, the next batch of vegetables can be continuously put in while the previous batch of vegetables is still in the spin-drying process, so as to achieve uninterrupted operation without waiting. Compared with traditional intermittent spin-drying equipment, it significantly improves production efficiency and drying uniformity.
[0006] The spin-drying mechanism also includes a motor located at one end of the fixed frame. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod, thus providing a drive source for the rotating rod.
[0007] The jet assembly includes an air supply pipe located at the upper end of the inner cavity of the fixed frame. Each air outlet on the outer arc surface of the air supply pipe is equipped with a jet head, and the outlet of the jet head faces the spin dryer, which accelerates the evaporation of moisture and further assists in drying.
[0008] The drive assembly includes a toothed ring located at one end of the outer arc surface of the spin dryer. A gear is rotatably connected to the end of the inner cavity of the fixed frame near the toothed ring. The gear meshes with the toothed ring, thus achieving rapid transmission.
[0009] The drive assembly also includes a second motor located on the fixed frame near the gear end. The output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to the gear, thus providing a drive source for the gear.
[0010] It also includes a feeding component, which includes fixed seats symmetrically arranged at the feeding end of the fixed frame, and a feeding hopper between the two fixed seats. The feeding end of the feeding hopper is located inside the spin dryer, which makes it convenient for operators to put in the side dishes.
[0011] The spiral plate is made of rubber to prevent damage to the side dishes.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. Subsequently, motor one and motor two operate synchronously. The output shaft of motor two rotates, driving the gear to rotate synchronously. When the gear rotates, it drives the spin-drying drum to rotate through the toothed ring connected to it. The spin-drying drum starts to rotate, and the rubber spiral plate on its inner wall conveys the vegetables from the feed end to the discharge end through the spiral propulsion action. At the same time, centrifugal force is used to shake off the water on the surface of the vegetables. Meanwhile, the output shaft of motor one drives the rotating rod and the beater plate on it to beat the outer wall of the spin-drying drum. On the one hand, the vibration helps to separate the vegetables from the inner wall of the spin-drying drum to prevent sticking. On the other hand, it knocks off the water droplets generated by condensation or splashing on the surface of the spin-drying drum, keeping the drum dry. Combined with the propulsion of the spiral plate, the next batch of vegetables can be continuously fed in while the previous batch is still in the spin-drying process, achieving uninterrupted operation without waiting. Compared with traditional intermittent spin-drying equipment, it significantly improves production efficiency and drying uniformity.
[0014] 2. First, connect the outlet of the external air pump to the inlet of the air supply pipe. The external air pump continuously sprays hot air or high-pressure airflow into the spin dryer through the air supply pipe and the jet nozzle to accelerate moisture evaporation and further assist in drying.
[0015] 3. The hopper on the fixed seat can realize continuous feeding of side dishes, making it convenient for operators to smoothly transport the side dishes into the spin dryer. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-4 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0022] This embodiment provides a food preparation processing device, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown: It includes a fixed frame 100 and a spin-drying mechanism disposed therein. The spin-drying mechanism includes a spin-drying cylinder 200 rotatably connected to the fixed frame 100. The inner arc surface of the spin-drying cylinder 200 is provided with a spiral plate 201. A rotating rod 202 is rotatably connected between the two ends of the inner cavity of the fixed frame 100. The outer arc surface of the rotating rod 202 is provided with a plurality of distributed tapping plates 203. The tapping plates 203 are configured to cooperate with the outer arc surface of the spin-drying cylinder 200. An air jet assembly is also provided at the upper end of the inner cavity of the fixed frame 100. A drive assembly for driving the spin-drying cylinder 200 to rotate is also provided at one end of the fixed frame 100. The spin-drying mechanism also includes a motor 204 disposed at one end of the fixed frame 100. The output shaft of the motor 204 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 202. The spiral plate 201 is a rubber spiral plate.
[0023] The first drive component drives the spin-drying drum 200 to rotate. As the drum begins to rotate, the rubber spiral plate 201 on its inner wall conveys the vegetables from the feed end to the discharge end through spiral propulsion. At the same time, centrifugal force is used to shake off the water on the surface of the vegetables. Meanwhile, the output shaft of motor 204 drives the rotating rod 202 and the beater plate 203 on it to beat the outer wall of the spin-drying drum 200. On the one hand, the vibration helps to separate the vegetables from the inner wall of the spin-drying drum 200 to prevent them from sticking. On the other hand, it knocks off the water droplets generated by condensation or splashing on the surface of the spin-drying drum 200, keeping the drum dry. Combined with the pushing force of the spiral plate 201, the next batch of vegetables can be continuously fed in while the previous batch is being spin-dried, achieving uninterrupted operation without waiting. Compared with traditional intermittent spin-drying equipment, this significantly improves production efficiency and drying uniformity.
[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the jet assembly includes an air supply pipe 300 disposed at the upper end of the inner cavity of the fixed frame 100. Each air outlet uniformly arranged on the outer arc surface of the air supply pipe 300 is provided with a jet head 301, and the air outlet of the jet head 301 is facing the spin dryer 200.
[0025] An external air pump continuously injects hot air or high-pressure airflow into the spin dryer 200 through the air supply pipe 300 and the jet nozzle 301 to accelerate moisture evaporation and further assist in drying.
[0026] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the drive assembly includes a toothed ring 400 disposed at one end of the outer arc surface of the spin dryer 200, and a gear 401 rotatably connected to one end of the inner cavity of the fixing frame 100 near the toothed ring 400. The gear 401 meshes with the toothed ring 400. The drive assembly also includes a second motor 402 disposed at one end of the fixing frame 100 near the gear 401, and the output shaft of the second motor 402 is fixedly connected to the gear 401.
[0027] When motor 402 starts, the output shaft of motor 402 rotates, driving gear 401 to rotate synchronously. When gear 401 rotates, it drives spin dryer 200 to rotate through toothed ring 400 that meshes with it, thus achieving rapid driving. Gear 401 and toothed ring 400 are made of stainless steel to avoid rust problems.
[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, it also includes a feeding component, which includes fixed seats 500 symmetrically arranged at the feeding end of the fixed frame 100. A feeding hopper 501 is provided between the two fixed seats 500. The feeding hopper 501 is inclined downward from the outside to the inside. The feeding end of the feeding hopper 501 is located inside the spin dryer 200. The feeding hopper 501 can realize continuous feeding of side dishes, which facilitates the smooth delivery of side dishes into the spin dryer 200.
[0029] The working principle of the side dish processing equipment provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the air outlet of the external air pump is connected to the air inlet of the air supply pipe 300. Then, motor 204 and motor 402 operate synchronously. The output shaft of motor 402 rotates and drives gear 401 to rotate synchronously. When gear 401 rotates, it drives the spin-drying drum 200 to rotate through the toothed ring 400 meshing with it. The spin-drying drum 200 starts to rotate, and the rubber spiral plate 201 on its inner wall conveys the side dishes from the feed end to the discharge end through the spiral propulsion action. At the same time, centrifugal force is used to shake off the water on the surface of the side dishes. Meanwhile, the output shaft of motor 204 drives the rotating rod 202 and the beater plate 203 on it to beat the spin-drying drum 200. The outer wall of the drum 200 is designed to separate the vegetables from the inner wall of the drying drum 200 through vibration, preventing them from sticking together. It also knocks off water droplets generated by condensation or splashing on the surface of the drying drum 200, keeping the drum dry. In addition, an external air pump continuously sprays hot air or high-pressure airflow into the drying drum 200 through the air supply pipe 300 and the air jet head 301, accelerating moisture evaporation and further assisting in drying. The hopper 501 on the fixed seat 500 can continuously feed the vegetables. Combined with the pushing physics of the spiral plate 201, the next batch of vegetables can be continuously fed in while the previous batch is still in the drying process, achieving uninterrupted operation without waiting. Compared with traditional intermittent drying equipment, this significantly improves production efficiency and drying uniformity.
[0030] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0031] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
