Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mushroom processing equipment, and in particular to a drying box for mushroom processing. Background Technology

[0002] Mushrooms are a type of organism with unique morphology and biological characteristics. In taxonomy, they belong to the kingdom Fungi. They are usually composed of mycelium and fruiting bodies. Mycelium is the vegetative body, responsible for absorbing nutrients, while fruiting bodies are reproductive organs. They have diverse forms and are composed of parts such as the cap, stipe, and gills.

[0003] In existing technologies, drying boxes are commonly used to dry mushrooms during processing to facilitate transportation. However, in practice, existing drying equipment typically lays the mushrooms flat on a support plate to prevent them from piling up and affecting the drying effect. This process requires manual work, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, the mushrooms, being static and fixed on the support plate, lack direct hot air flow, resulting in uneven drying at the bottom and excessively rapid drying on the surface. This negatively impacts the quality of the dried mushrooms. Therefore, a drying box for mushroom processing is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying box for mushroom processing. The perforated mesh box that holds the mushrooms is designed to be rotatable. When the perforated mesh box rotates, the mushrooms inside the drying box can move together. Compared with static mushrooms, the dynamic mushrooms can be more fully exposed to the hot air, and all parts have the opportunity to come into direct contact with the hot air. This not only improves the drying efficiency and the quality of the dried mushrooms, but also eliminates the need for manual leveling of the mushrooms, saving time and effort.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a drying box for mushroom processing is provided, comprising a drying box, a hot air blower, and a perforated mesh box. A protective cover is movably connected to the drying box. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the hot air blower. A bearing pipe is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe away from the hot air blower. Multiple air outlet pipes are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bearing pipe. An air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of the hot air blower. A connecting cylinder is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the air inlet pipe. An air filter is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the connecting cylinder.

[0006] A stepper motor is fixedly connected to the left surface of the drying chamber. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor. A positioning block is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod away from the stepper motor. A feed pipe is fixedly connected to the side surface of the perforated mesh box. Multiple inserts are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the feed pipe. A positioning groove is provided on the positioning block. A discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the side surface of the perforated mesh box. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the right surface of the drying chamber. A bearing block is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod. A connecting groove is provided on the bearing block.

[0007] According to the aforementioned drying box for mushroom processing, a connecting ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drying box, and a docking groove is provided on the connecting ring. The inner surface of the docking groove is movably connected to a protective cover.

[0008] According to the aforementioned drying box for mushroom processing, a first handle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the perforated mesh box, and the number of the first handles is multiple and distributed in a rectangular array.

[0009] According to the aforementioned drying box for mushroom processing, the protective cover has two air vents that are symmetrically distributed.

[0010] According to the aforementioned drying box for mushroom processing, the outer surface of the air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the drying box, and the outer surface of the material outlet pipe is in contact with the inner surface of the connecting groove.

[0011] According to the aforementioned drying box for mushroom processing, the outer surfaces of the insert block and the feed pipe are movably connected to the positioning groove.

[0012] According to the aforementioned drying box for mushroom processing, the outer surface of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the drying box.

[0013] According to the aforementioned drying box for mushroom processing, a second handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective cover, and the number of the second handles is two and they are symmetrically distributed.

[0014] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. By setting up a structure including a stepper motor, positioning block, insert block, and bearing block, this solution makes the perforated mesh box for carrying mushrooms rotatable. When the perforated mesh box rotates, the mushrooms in the drying chamber can move together. Compared with static mushrooms, the dynamic mushrooms can be more fully exposed to the hot air, and all parts have the opportunity to come into direct contact with the hot air. This not only improves the drying efficiency and the quality of the dried mushrooms, but also eliminates the need for manual leveling of the mushrooms, saving time and effort.

[0016] 2. Through the design of the connecting cylinder and air filter, the air entering the drying chamber and hot air blower can be filtered. This not only prevents the hot air blower from being affected by dust, thus extending its normal service life, but also prevents the mushrooms from being affected by dust, thus increasing the overall practicality of the device.

[0028] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-7 This utility model discloses a drying box for mushroom processing, comprising a drying box 1, a hot air blower 2, and a perforated mesh box 10. A protective cover 3 is movably connected to the drying box 1. A connecting pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hot air blower 2. A supporting pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe 4 away from the hot air blower 2. Multiple air outlet pipes 6 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the supporting pipe 5, and the outer surface of the air outlet pipes 6 is fixedly connected to the drying box 1. An air inlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the input end of the hot air blower 2. A connecting cylinder 8 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 7. An air filter 9 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the connecting cylinder 8. A connecting ring 21 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drying box 1. A mating groove 22 is formed on the connecting ring 21, and the inner surface of the mating groove 22 is movably connected to the protective cover 3. The outer surface of the perforated mesh box 10 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 3. The device is equipped with multiple first handles 23 arranged in a rectangular array. Two vent holes 24 are symmetrically distributed on the protective cover 3. Two second handles 25 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective cover 3. Through the vent holes 24 on the protective cover 3, the gas inside the drying chamber 1 can be smoothly discharged to the outside, ensuring that the pressure environment inside the drying chamber 1 is at a normal level, allowing the entire device to operate normally. The first handles 23 provide a point of leverage for the perforated mesh box 10, facilitating the removal and placement of the perforated mesh box 10. Similarly, the second handles 25 provide a point of leverage for the protective cover 3, further facilitating its removal and placement.

[0030] A stepper motor 11 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the drying chamber 1. A rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 11. The outer surface of the rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the drying chamber 1. A positioning block 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 12 away from the stepper motor 11. A feed pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the perforated mesh box 10. Multiple inserts 15 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the feed pipe 14. A positioning groove 16 is provided on the positioning block 13. A discharge pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the perforated mesh box 10. An electric telescopic rod 18 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the drying chamber 1. A bearing block 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 18. A connecting groove 20 is provided on the bearing block 19. The outer surface of the discharge pipe 17 is in contact with the inner surface of the connecting groove 20. The outer surfaces of the inserts 15 and the feed pipe 14 are movably connected to the positioning groove 16. It should be noted that the electric telescopic rod 18 is a mature existing technology and has a self-locking function. Yes, the specific principle will not be elaborated here. Therefore, when the electric telescopic rod 18 stops outputting, the bearing block 19 will not move. Although the electric telescopic rod 18 is fixedly connected to the drying box 1, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 18 is not fixed to the drying box 1, so it will not affect the normal movement of the bearing block 19. After the connecting groove 20 opened on the bearing block 19 is inserted into the discharge pipe 17, it only serves to support the other end of the perforated mesh box 10 and does not serve to fix it. When the torque output by the stepper motor 11 is greater than the friction between the discharge pipe 17 and the surface of the connecting groove 20, it can drive the perforated mesh box 10 and the structure on the perforated mesh box 10 to rotate. The stepper motor 11 is electrically connected to the external controller, which facilitates the control of the start and stop of the stepper motor 11 and the output torque of the stepper motor 11, preventing the mushrooms from being excessively squeezed due to the rotation speed of the perforated mesh box 10.

[0031] Working principle: By lifting the second handle 25 upwards, the protective cover 3 can be removed from the drying box 1. Then, the electric telescopic rod 18 is activated, causing its output end to move the bearing block 19 away from the discharge pipe 17. After this movement, the connecting groove 20 on the bearing block 19 disengages from the discharge pipe 17 without affecting the movement of the perforated mesh box 10. Next, by pulling the first handle 23 on the perforated mesh box 10, the feed pipe 14 and the insert block 15 on the feed pipe 14 disengage from the positioning groove 16. Then, by lifting the first handle 23, the perforated mesh box 10 can be removed from the entire device. Mushrooms are then added to the perforated mesh box 10 through the feed pipe 14. When the perforated mesh box 10 is filled with... After adding an appropriate amount of mushrooms, use the first handle 23 to place the feed pipe 14 and insert block 15 into the positioning groove 16 on the positioning block 13. At this time, the discharge pipe 17 can correspond to the connecting groove 20 on the support block 19. Then, start the electric telescopic rod 18 so that the output end of the electric telescopic rod 18 can drive the support block 19 to gradually approach the discharge pipe 17. After the movement, the connecting groove 20 on the support block 19 is inserted into the discharge pipe 17, and the connection between the perforated mesh box 10 and the whole device can be completed. At this time, use the second handle 25 to insert the protective cover 3 into the docking groove 22 on the connecting ring 21 to complete the connection between the protective cover 3 and the drying box 1, reducing the heat dissipation rate. Then, start the hot air blower 2 so that the air inlet pipe 7 on the input end of the hot air blower 2 generates heat. The suction force draws air from the outside environment into the hot air blower 2 for heating, and then delivers it through the connecting pipe 4 at the output end of the hot air blower 2 to the carrying pipe 5, and then through the air outlet pipe 6 on the carrying pipe 5 to the interior of the drying chamber 1, thereby heating the internal space of the drying chamber 1 and drying the mushrooms in the perforated mesh box 10. Furthermore, the air filter 9 installed inside the connecting cylinder 8 filters the air entering the hot air blower 2, preventing dust and other impurities from entering the hot air blower 2 along with the outside environment, and preventing these impurities from entering the drying chamber 1 along with the connecting pipe 4, carrying pipe 5, and air outlet pipe 6 and coming into contact with the mushrooms in the perforated mesh box 10. This not only prevents the hot air blower 2 from being affected by dust entering, but also ensures its normal operation. This extends the drying lifespan and prevents dust from affecting the quality of the dried mushrooms. The stepper motor 11 is activated, driving the rotating rod 12 to rotate. This rotating rod 12 then drives the feed pipe 14, insert block 15, perforated mesh box 10, and other structures on the perforated mesh box 10 to rotate. During this rotation, the mushrooms inside the perforated mesh box 10 gradually turn over. Compared to static mushrooms, the dynamic mushrooms are more fully exposed to the hot air, with each part having direct contact with the hot air, resulting in more even heat transfer. This prevents the mushrooms from piling up inside the perforated mesh box 10, improving drying efficiency. Furthermore, the protective cover 3 has pre-drained air vents 24.This ensures that the gas inside drying chamber 1 can be smoothly discharged to the outside, maintaining a normal pressure environment within drying chamber 1.

[0032] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
