[0039] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a noodle drying device, comprising:
[0040] The main body 1 has a drying box 2 with an observation section 3 installed at the front end fixedly connected to it;
[0041] The drying rack 7 is rotatably disposed at the center of the drying box 2, and the bottom end of the drying rack 7 extends through the bottom of the drying box 2 and the top of the body 1 into the body 1. The drying rack 7 and the top of the body 1 are also rotatably connected.
[0042] The power unit 9 is located inside the body 1 and connected to the bottom of the drying rack 7;
[0043] The air guide frame 6 is fixedly installed inside the air drying box 2 and is coaxially arranged with the air drying frame 7;
[0044] An air supply unit 8 is located inside the body 1 and is connected to the air drying rack 7;
[0045] Exhaust vent 5 is located on one side of the body 1;
[0046] Control panel 4 is located at the front end of the drying box 2; and
[0047] The air drying rack 7 includes: an air drying seat 71, which has a column cavity at its center. A central column 72 with a cavity is provided at the upper end of the air drying seat 71. The cavity is connected to the column cavity. Six sets of adjustable parts 73 are provided on the outer circumference of the central column 72. Five sets of partitions 74 are arranged equidistantly in the vertical direction inside the adjustable parts 73. The five sets of partitions 74 divide the interior of the adjustable parts 73 into five adjustable cavities.
[0048] In this embodiment, the operator places the noodles to be dried into the drying box 2 and hangs them on the drying rack 7. Then, the device is started to dry the noodles. During the drying process, the drying rack 7 rotates at a constant speed. The operator can observe the drying status of the noodles in real time through the observation section 3. The operator needs to turn the noodles over at intervals until all the noodles are completely dried. Then, the noodles are taken out of the device for later use. During the drying process, the air entering the device will flow through the drying box 2 and into the machine body 1. The air will then be discharged through the exhaust port 5 by the exhaust device installed inside the machine body 1.
[0049] Furthermore, the adjusting cavity includes:
[0050] The sliding cavity 75 is L-shaped. A slider 76 is slidably disposed in the vertical part of the sliding cavity 75, and a slider 77 is slidably disposed in the horizontal part of the sliding cavity 75.
[0051] The telescopic rod 78 has one end connected to the side of the second slider 77 away from the first slider 76, and the other end connected to the inner wall of the adjusting part 73;
[0052] Connecting rod 79, one end of which is rotatably mounted on slider 76, and the other end of which is rotatably mounted on slider 77;
[0053] Connecting rod 2 710, one end of which is rotatably disposed at the right-angle portion of the sliding cavity 75, and the other end of which is rotatably disposed at the middle position of connecting rod 1 79; and
[0054] The slide 711 is located on the side of the adjustable part 73 away from the central column 72. An adjustable slider 713 is slidably disposed inside the slide 711. One end of the adjustable slider 713 is connected to the slider 76, and the other end is connected to the hanging rod 712.
[0055] In a preferred embodiment, to dry noodles of different lengths in the same device, the device is equipped with a drying rack 7 to achieve the above operation. Specifically, the operator determines in advance the different lengths of noodles to be dried in the device, and then uses the control panel 4 to adjust the spacing between multiple sets of hanging rods 712 in the same vertical direction. During the adjustment, the telescopic rod 78 drives the second slider 77 to slide horizontally along the horizontal part of the sliding cavity 75. Through the transmission of the first connecting rod 79 and the second connecting rod 710, the first slider 76 is driven to slide vertically along the vertical part of the sliding cavity 75. Under the action of the adjusting slider 713, the hanging rods 712 can move in the vertical direction, and the adjustment operation is completed, so that noodles of different lengths can be hung for drying.
[0056] Please see Figure 3 As shown, this diagram only illustrates the state of two sets of hanging rods 712. Specifically, according to... Figure 3It can be clearly observed that the lengths of the noodles suspended by the upper hanging rod 712 and the lower hanging rod 712 are not the same. This device is equipped with multiple sets of hanging rods 712, and the spacing between the hanging rods 712 located in the same vertical direction can be adjusted. Therefore, this device can simultaneously perform air-drying operations for noodles of various lengths, which greatly reduces the number of devices required and lowers the drying cost.
[0057] Furthermore, the inner wall of the drying box 2 is provided with a first groove 21 and a second groove 22, and both of them are provided with multiple sets of main air outlets 23 at equal intervals along the vertical direction. The top of the drying box 2 is connected to a top cover 24 through an opening and closing component.
[0058] Furthermore, the multiple sets of main air outlets 23 penetrate the side wall of the drying box 2 and are connected to the external air supply system.
[0059] In this embodiment, when the device starts working, the external air supply system supplies air to the drying box 2 through multiple main air outlets 23. It should be noted that the inner wall of the drying box 2 is provided with air supply at only two locations along its circumference (i.e., at the locations of groove one 21 and groove two 22). As the drying rack 7 rotates at a uniform speed, the noodles suspended on it are mainly dried at one-third of the entire circumference during the rotation process. The remaining two-thirds of the circumference are not dried. The temperature of the air used for main drying can be adapted to the highest temperature that the noodles can withstand. In order to concentrate and transport the air during main drying, the device is equipped with a guide frame 6.
[0060] Furthermore, the flow guide 6 includes:
[0061] The chassis 61 has multiple sets of air diffusers 62 arranged around its circumference, and the air diffusers 62 connect the drying box 2 and the body 1.
[0062] A vertical frame 63 is mounted on the chassis 61. The vertical frame 63 is hexagonal prism-shaped and has mesh 64 installed on each side. A guide plate 65 is provided at the connection between two adjacent meshes 64.
[0063] The temperature control arc 66 is coaxially arranged with the vertical frame 63 and multiple sets are arranged in the vertical direction. Each set of the temperature control arc 66 is a two-thirds arc shape, and the other one-third arc position corresponds to the groove 1 21 and groove 2 22.
[0064] For a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 The air supplied from the main air outlet 23 is slightly deflected due to the uniform rotation of the drying rack 7, preventing it from directly drying the noodles. The guide plate 65 can correct this deflection (e.g., ...). Figure 5 (As indicated by the middle arrow), thus allowing the wind force during the main air drying process to be concentrated, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
[0065] It is important to note that as the drying rack 7 rotates at a constant speed, the noodles suspended on it undergo constant temperature treatment at two-thirds of the circumference during rotation (this constant temperature treatment is completed by the temperature control arc 66, ensuring that all noodles passing through this area are in the same temperature environment). The remaining one-third of the circumference is not subjected to constant temperature treatment, which perfectly complements the main air-drying position mentioned above. Therefore, the noodles to be dried in this device will not be subjected to the main air-drying from beginning to end, to prevent the noodles from burning due to excessively fast air-drying speed. When the noodles leave the main air-drying area, they enter the constant temperature treatment area. This transition will not cause a sudden change in the ambient temperature of the noodles, avoiding the phenomenon of thermal stress concentration and effectively preventing the noodles from bending, breaking, or cracking.
[0066] Furthermore, the power unit 9 includes: a motor 91, which is disposed inside the body 1 and has a gear 92 connected to its output end; and an external gear ring 93 that meshes with the gear 92 is fixedly connected to the outer wall inside the body 1 of the drying seat 71.
[0067] In this embodiment, the motor 91 is the driving source. Through the transmission of the gear 92 and the external gear ring 93, it drives the drying seat 71 to rotate at a constant speed (the rotation speed will not cause the noodles to shift or swing significantly) so as to complete the rotational drying of the noodles.
[0068] Furthermore, the air supply unit 8 includes: an air supply component 81, which is disposed inside the body 1 and whose output end is connected to six sets of vertical pipes 82; six sets of auxiliary air outlets 83 are arranged circumferentially on the outer wall of the central column 72; the six sets of auxiliary air outlets 83 are arranged alternately with the six sets of adjustable parts 73; and the auxiliary air outlets 83 are connected to the vertical pipes 82.
[0069] In this embodiment, while the noodles are undergoing primary air drying and constant temperature treatment, the air supply unit 8 can perform a secondary air drying operation that simulates natural air drying. Specifically, the air supply unit 81 supplies the air volume required for secondary drying, and the air flows through the vertical pipe 82 and is discharged through the secondary air outlet 83, which assists the effect of primary air drying and constant temperature treatment and improves the overall drying quality. It should be noted that the secondary air drying operation will not affect the ambient temperature during primary air drying and constant temperature treatment.
[0070] Furthermore, both the air guide 6 and the air drying rack 7 are made of composite environmentally friendly materials.
[0071] In this embodiment, the materials used for the air guide 6 and the drying rack 7 are designed to prevent the generation of gases or substances harmful to the human body during the drying process, thereby improving the safety of the noodles for subsequent consumption.
[0072] In practice, the operator places noodles of various lengths and types into the drying box 2 and hangs them on the drying rack 7. Then, the device is started to dry the noodles. During the drying process, the drying rack 7 rotates at a constant speed. The drying process combines main drying, constant temperature treatment, and secondary drying to ensure the quality of the dried noodles. During the drying process, the operator can observe the drying status of the noodles in real time through the observation section 3. The operator needs to turn the noodles over at regular intervals until all the noodles are completely dried, and then remove them from the device for later use.
[0073] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
