Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable processing technology, specifically a vegetable dehydrator. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetable dehydration is a processing method that rapidly dehydrates and dries fresh vegetables, quickly reducing their water content while minimizing the loss of various vitamins and nutrients.

[0003] Currently, to shorten drying time, centrifuges can be used to spin water, or simple manual methods can be used to press and drain the water. After the water is drained, the vegetables can be spread out to cool slightly before being placed on trays for dehydration. Manual dehydration is more troublesome and tiring, while dehydration is done by centrifuges. For example, in the prior art, patent publication number CN202197809U discloses a vegetable dehydrator. When in use, the washed vegetables are placed in the inner drum, and then the rotating motor is started. The rotating motor drives the inner drum to rotate, causing the water on the vegetables to be thrown out of the inner drum to the outer shell and flow out through the water outlet pipe. This can quickly and thoroughly remove the water. After dehydration, the vegetables are taken out and the process can be repeated.

[0004] However, there are still some shortcomings. First, during centrifugal dehydration, the high-speed rotation of the inner drum causes high-speed contact between the vegetables and the inner drum, resulting in a high breakage rate for leafy vegetables and affecting their appearance. Second, after dehydration, workers need to repeatedly bend down and reach into the dehydration drum to retrieve the dehydrated vegetables, which affects work efficiency. In response to the above problems, the inventor proposed a vegetable dehydrator to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of high breakage rate of leafy vegetables, affecting their appearance, and low efficiency in vegetable retrieval after dehydration, this utility model aims to provide a vegetable dehydrator.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a vegetable dehydrator, including a base, an outer cylinder fixedly connected to the top surface of the base, an inner cylinder rotatably connected to the inside of the outer cylinder, a protective component detachably installed inside the inner cylinder, the protective component including a support tray, a first vertical rod and a second vertical rod fixedly connected to the top surface of the support tray, a first silicone sleeve covering the side wall of the first vertical rod, a handle fixedly connected to the top of the first vertical rod, a hook fixedly connected to the top of the second vertical rod, and a buckle provided on the top surface of the inner cylinder, the buckle corresponding to and cooperating with the hook.

[0007] Preferably, the outer cylinder has a cover hinged to its side wall, the cover corresponding to and fitting the opening of the outer cylinder. The inner cylinder is a hollow cylinder, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the side wall of the base. The inner cylinder is a dehydration cylinder, and a drive motor is installed inside the base. Activating the drive motor causes the inner cylinder to rotate, causing the water on the vegetables placed inside the inner cylinder to be thrown out of the inner cylinder to the outer cylinder under centrifugal force and flow out through the drain pipe, thus dehydrating the vegetables. This is existing mature technology and will not be elaborated further here. A slot is provided in the center of the bottom surface of the tray, and a locking block is fixedly connected to the center of the inner bottom wall of the inner cylinder. The card block and the card slot correspond and cooperate. When vegetables need to be dehydrated, the tray is first placed in the inner cylinder, and then the vegetables to be dehydrated are poured into the inner cylinder. The tray can support the inverted vegetables. During installation, the card block and the card slot must correspond and engage to limit the position of the tray. When the inner cylinder rotates, the cooperation between the card block and the card slot drives the tray to rotate, which in turn causes the vegetables in the inner cylinder to rotate. This causes the water on the vegetables to be thrown out of the inner cylinder to the outer cylinder under the action of centrifugal force and flow out through the drain pipe, thus dehydrating the vegetables.

[0008] Preferably, there are two first vertical rods and two second vertical rods, and the axes of the two first vertical rods are perpendicular to the axes of the two second vertical rods. A second silicone sleeve is fixedly wrapped around the side wall of each second vertical rod. The side walls of both the first and second vertical rods are in contact with the inner wall of the inner cylinder. After dehydrating the vegetables, the cylinder lid is opened, and the handle is pulled upwards. Under the action of the first vertical rod, the tray moves upwards, allowing the dehydrated vegetables to be brought out of the inner cylinder for quick emptying and retrieval. This eliminates the need for workers to bend down and reach into the dehydration cylinder for repeated retrieval, thus improving work efficiency. The dehydration rate is improved, and when vegetables are dehydrated by centrifugal force, the first and second silicone sleeves can alleviate the contact force between the vegetables and the inner cylinder. This prevents high-speed contact between the vegetables and the inner cylinder during rotation, thus avoiding high breakage rates of leafy vegetables and affecting product quality. The side walls of the first and second vertical rods are fixedly connected to ring rods, and the side walls of the ring rods are also wrapped with second silicone sleeves. The ring rods are arranged in an array from top to bottom, and the side walls of the ring rods are also wrapped with second silicone sleeves to protect the dehydrated vegetables and prevent them from breaking during high-speed rotation of the inner cylinder, which would affect their quality.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When dehydrating vegetables, the first and second silicone sleeves can reduce the contact force between the vegetables and the inner cylinder, thereby avoiding high-speed contact between the vegetables and the inner cylinder during centrifugal dehydration, which would lead to a high breakage rate of leafy vegetables and thus avoid affecting the product appearance. After the dehydration operation is completed, the dehydrated vegetables can be taken out of the inner cylinder in one go, so that the dehydrated vegetables can be quickly poured out and used without the need for workers to bend down and reach into the dehydration cylinder to repeatedly circulate and retrieve the dehydrated vegetables, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Example: Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a vegetable dehydrator, including a base 1, an outer cylinder 2 fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1, an inner cylinder 5 rotatably connected to the inside of the outer cylinder 2, a protective component 17 detachably installed inside the inner cylinder 5, the protective component 17 including a support tray 7, a first vertical rod 9 and a second vertical rod 12 fixedly connected to the top surface of the support tray 7, a first silicone sleeve 11 wrapped around the side wall of the first vertical rod 9, a handle 10 fixedly connected to the top of the first vertical rod 9, a hook 14 fixedly connected to the top of the second vertical rod 12, and a buckle 15 provided on the top surface of the inner cylinder 5, the buckle 15 corresponding to and cooperating with the hook 14.

[0020] The outer cylinder 2 has a cylinder cover 4 hinged to its side wall. The cylinder cover 4 corresponds to and fits the opening of the outer cylinder 2. The inner cylinder 5 is a hollow cylinder. The drain pipe 3 is inserted and fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 1. The fastener 15 and the hook 14 cooperate with each other to enhance the fixing effect on the support tray 7.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner cylinder 5 is a dehydration cylinder. A drive motor is installed in the base 1. Starting the drive motor in the base 1 can make the inner cylinder 5 rotate, so that the water on the vegetables placed in the inner cylinder 5 is thrown out of the inner cylinder 5 to the outer cylinder 2 under the action of centrifugal force and flows out through the drain pipe 3 to dehydrate the vegetables. This is an existing mature technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0022] A slot 8 is provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the tray 7, and a block 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner bottom wall of the inner cylinder 5. The block 6 corresponds to and cooperates with the slot 8.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when vegetables need to be dehydrated, the tray 7 is first placed in the inner cylinder 5, and then the vegetables to be dehydrated are poured into the inner cylinder 5. The tray 7 can support the inverted vegetables. During installation, the locking block 6 and the locking groove 8 should correspond and engage to limit the tray 7. When the inner cylinder 5 rotates, the cooperation between the locking block 6 and the locking groove 8 will drive the tray 7 to rotate, which will cause the vegetables in the inner cylinder 5 to rotate. This will cause the water on the vegetables to be thrown out of the inner cylinder 5 to the outer cylinder 2 under the action of centrifugal force and flow out through the drain pipe 3, thus dehydrating the vegetables.

[0024] There are two first vertical rods 9 and two second vertical rods 12. The axes of the two first vertical rods 9 are perpendicular to the axes of the two second vertical rods 12. The side walls of the second vertical rods 12 are fixedly wrapped with second silicone sleeves 13. The side walls of the first vertical rods 9 and the second vertical rods 12 are in contact with the inner wall of the inner cylinder 5.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, after the dehydration of vegetables is completed, the cylinder cover 4 is opened and the handle 10 is pulled upwards. Under the action of the first vertical rod 9, the tray 7 can be moved upwards, thereby bringing the dehydrated vegetables out of the inner cylinder 5. This allows for quick dumping and retrieval of the dehydrated vegetables, eliminating the need for workers to bend down and reach into the dehydration cylinder to repeatedly scoop the dehydrated vegetables, thus improving work efficiency. Furthermore, when the vegetables are dehydrated by centrifugal force, the first silicone sleeve 11 and the second silicone sleeve 13 can alleviate the contact force between the vegetables and the inner cylinder 5. This prevents high-speed contact between the vegetables and the inner cylinder 5 when the inner cylinder 5 rotates, thus avoiding a high breakage rate of leafy vegetables and preventing any impact on the product's appearance.

[0026] The side walls of the first vertical rod 9 and the second vertical rod 12 are fixedly connected with ring rods 16. The side walls of the ring rods 16 are also wrapped with second silicone sleeves 13, and the ring rods 16 are arranged in an array from top to bottom.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the side wall of the ring rod 16 is also wrapped with a second silicone sleeve 13 to protect the dehydrated vegetables and prevent them from being damaged when the inner cylinder 5 rotates at high speed, thus affecting their appearance.

[0028] Working principle: When using this utility model, when vegetables need to be dehydrated, first place the support tray 7 inside the inner cylinder 5, and then pour the vegetables to be dehydrated into the inner cylinder 5. The support tray 7 can support the inverted vegetables.

[0029] When installing the tray 7, the locking block 6 and the locking groove 8 should correspond and engage to limit the tray 7. When the inner cylinder 5 rotates, the cooperation between the locking block 6 and the locking groove 8 will drive the tray 7 to rotate, which will cause the vegetables in the inner cylinder 5 to rotate. This will cause the water on the vegetables to be thrown out of the inner cylinder 5 to the outer cylinder 2 under the action of centrifugal force and flow out through the drain pipe 3 to dehydrate the vegetables.

[0030] Furthermore, when vegetables are dehydrated by centrifugal force, the first silicone sleeve 11 and the second silicone sleeve 13 can alleviate the contact force between the vegetables and the inner cylinder 5, thereby preventing high-speed contact between the vegetables and the inner cylinder 5 when the inner cylinder 5 rotates, which would lead to a high breakage rate of leafy vegetables and thus avoid affecting the product appearance.

[0031] After the dehydration of the vegetables is completed, open the cylinder cover 4 and pull the handle 10 upward. Under the action of the first vertical rod 9, the tray 7 can be moved upward, which can bring the dehydrated vegetables out of the inner cylinder 5. This allows the dehydrated vegetables to be quickly poured out and used without the need for staff to bend down and reach into the dehydration cylinder to repeatedly scoop out the dehydrated vegetables, thereby improving work efficiency.

The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
