Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vegetable processing technology, and in particular to a mesh clamp for drying vegetables. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetable dryers are specialized equipment for dehydrating and drying fresh or seasonal vegetables and fruits. They use mesh clamps to hold and fix the vegetables, which in turn rotates the mesh clamps to ensure that the vegetables are heated evenly during drying. However, the existing mesh clamps are too close together when they are open, making it inconvenient to load and unload vegetables. Furthermore, the two mesh clamps are closed by bolts, which makes loading and unloading vegetables cumbersome.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN213463786U) regarding a vegetable drying mesh clamp. This mesh clamp includes: a lower mesh clamp with lower connecting plates on both sides; and an upper mesh clamp with upper connecting plates corresponding to the lower connecting plates on both sides. The upper and lower connecting plates are connected by a connector. The connector includes a U-shaped plate clamped to the upper connecting plate, with a spring fixed to the lower end of the U-shaped plate. The lower connecting plate has mounting holes. While this device can prevent vegetables from thinning after drying and falling downwards, thus avoiding accumulation and affecting the drying effect, in actual use, the upper and lower mesh clamps are closed by bolts. This requires rotating multiple bolts to close the mesh clamp, making the operation cumbersome. Furthermore, the small distance between the mesh clamps after opening makes it inconvenient to load and unload vegetables. Therefore, a vegetable drying mesh clamp is urgently needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mesh clamp for drying vegetables to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vegetable drying mesh clamp, comprising a vegetable drying box and a lower frame for installing the vegetable drying mesh clamp, wherein two rotating rods are symmetrically fixedly installed on the side wall of the lower frame, and the ends of the rotating rods are rotatably installed on both sides of the inner wall of the drying box;

[0006] Multiple vertical rods are fixedly installed on the top surface of the lower frame, and a pressure plate is provided above the lower frame. The multiple vertical rods slide through the pressure plate. A top plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the vertical rods, and a tension spring is fixedly installed on the bottom of the top plate. The bottom of the tension spring is fixedly installed on the top surface of the pressure plate.

[0007] Two T-shaped rods are symmetrically and rotatably mounted on the top surface of the lower frame, and two strip holes are symmetrically and longitudinally opened on the top surface of the pressure plate. The T-shaped rods slide through the strip holes and extend to the top of the pressure plate.

[0008] A pressure mesh is provided below the pressure plate, and multiple push springs are fixedly installed on the top surface of the pressure mesh, with the top surface of the push springs fixedly installed at the bottom of the pressure plate.

[0009] Preferably, the top surface of the pressure mesh is fixedly equipped with multiple fixing rods, and the top surface of the pressure plate is longitudinally provided with multiple sliding holes.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of fixing rods fixedly installed on the top surface of the pressure mesh slide through the sliding holes and extend above the pressure plate.

[0011] Preferably, the sidewall of the fixing rod is symmetrically fixed with arc-shaped blocks, and the inner wall of the sliding hole is symmetrically provided with two limiting grooves.

[0012] Preferably, the two arc-shaped blocks fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed rod are slidably connected to the inside of the two limiting grooves opened in the inner wall of the sliding hole.

[0013] Preferably, a movable plate is rotatably mounted on one side of the lower frame.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This vegetable drying mesh clamp, thanks to its structure including vertical rods, tension springs, T-shaped rods, and slotted holes, allows the clamp to move downwards along the vertical rods by pressing down on the pressure plate until the T-shaped rods slide through the slotted holes and extend above the pressure plate. At this point, rotating the T-shaped rods so that they form a cross with the slotted holes allows the pressure plate to be limited, enabling quick closure of the pressure plate and the lower frame. When it is necessary to open the pressure plate, rotating the T-shaped rods so that they are parallel to the slotted holes will cause multiple tension springs to pull the pressure plate upwards and away from the lower frame.

[0016] This vegetable drying mesh clamp, thanks to the setting of the pressure mesh and push spring, when the pressure plate closes to the lower frame, the pressure mesh will first contact the vegetables in the lower frame. As the pressure plate continues to press down, it will compress the push spring, thereby fixing the vegetables.

[0017] This vegetable drying mesh clamp, thanks to the movable plate, allows the pressure plate and lower frame to be opened after the vegetables are dried, and the movable plate to be flipped outwards, which in turn causes the lower frame to tilt, making it easier to pour out the dried vegetables.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, this vegetable drying mesh clamp device can easily close and hold the mesh clamp while facilitating the loading and unloading of vegetables. Attached Figure Description

[0028] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0030] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 The main structure of a vegetable drying mesh clamp shown is a vegetable drying box 1 and a lower frame 3 for installing the vegetable drying mesh. The opening of the drying box 1 is hinged with a box door 2. Two rotating rods are symmetrically fixed on the side wall of the lower frame 3, and the ends of the rotating rods are rotatably installed on both sides of the inner wall of the drying box 1. Thanks to the setting of the rotating rods, the lower frame 3 can be rotated, so that the vegetables in the lower frame 3 can be evenly contacted with the high temperature in the drying box 1, thereby improving the drying effect of the vegetables.

[0032] Multiple vertical rods 5 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the lower frame 3, and a pressure plate 7 is provided above the lower frame 3. The multiple vertical rods 5 slide through the pressure plate 7. A top plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the vertical rods 5, and a tension spring 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the top plate. The bottom of the tension spring 6 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the pressure plate 7. Thanks to the setting of the tension spring 6, the pressure plate 7 can be driven upward away from the lower frame 3 through the tension spring 6, thereby increasing the distance between the lower frame 3 and the pressure plate 7, which makes it easier to load and unload vegetables in the lower frame 3.

[0033] Two T-shaped rods 10 are symmetrically and rotatably mounted on the top surface of the lower frame 3, and two strip holes 11 are symmetrically and longitudinally opened on the top surface of the pressure plate 7. The T-shaped rods 10 slide through the strip holes 11 and extend to the top of the pressure plate 7. Thanks to the structure of the vertical rod 5, tension spring 6, T-shaped rods 10 and strip holes 11, the pressure plate 7 can be pressed down to move it downward along the vertical rod 5 until the T-shaped rods 10 slide through the strip holes 11 and extend to the top of the pressure plate 7. At this time, the T-shaped rods 10 are rotated so that the T-shaped rods 10 and the strip holes 11 are arranged in a cross shape. The pressure plate 7 can be limited by the T-shaped rods 10, so that the pressure plate 7 and the lower frame 3 can be closed quickly. When it is necessary to open the pressure plate 7, the T-shaped rods 10 are rotated to be parallel to the strip holes 11. At this time, the pressure plate 7 will be pulled upward by multiple tension springs 6 and moved away from the lower frame 3.

[0034] Below the pressure plate 7 is a pressure mesh 9, and multiple push springs 8 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the pressure mesh 9. The top surface of the push springs 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the pressure plate 7. Thanks to the setting of the pressure mesh 9 and the push springs 8, when the pressure plate 7 closes to the lower frame 3, the pressure mesh 9 will first contact the vegetables in the lower frame 3. As the pressure plate 7 continues to press down, it will compress the push springs 8, thereby fixing the vegetables.

[0035] Multiple fixing rods 12 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the pressure mesh 9, and multiple sliding holes 4 are longitudinally opened on the top surface of the pressure plate 7. The multiple fixing rods 12 fixedly installed on the top surface of the pressure mesh 9 slide through the sliding holes 4 and extend to the top of the pressure plate 7. Thanks to the setting of the fixing rods 12, the sliding direction of the pressure mesh 9 can be effectively limited.

[0036] Arc-shaped blocks 13 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed rod 12. Two limiting grooves are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the sliding hole 4. The two arc-shaped blocks 13 fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed rod 12 are slidably connected to the inside of the two limiting grooves opened on the inner wall of the sliding hole 4. The two arc-shaped blocks 13 can limit the sliding direction of the fixed rod 12 and further improve the stability of the pressure net 9 when sliding.

[0037] A movable plate 14 is rotatably installed on one side of the lower frame 3. Thanks to the movable plate 14, after the vegetables are dried, the pressure plate 7 and the lower frame 3 are opened and the movable plate 14 is flipped outward, which then drives the lower frame 3 to tilt, thereby making it easier to pour out the dried vegetables.

[0038] Working principle

[0039] In use, the vegetable drying mesh clamp is first placed inside the lower frame 3. Then, the pressure plate 7 is pressed down on the lower frame 3, and the mesh 9 will first contact the vegetables in the lower frame 3. The pressure plate 7 is pressed down until the T-shaped rod 10 on the top surface of the lower frame 3 passes through the strip hole 11 and extends above the lower frame 3. At this time, the T-shaped rod 10 is rotated so that it is cross-shaped with the strip hole 11, which can limit the pressure plate 7 and stretch multiple tension springs 6. Then, the lower frame 3 is rotated so that the vegetables are heated evenly. After the vegetables are dried, the T-shaped rod 10 is rotated so that it is parallel to the strip hole 11. At this time, multiple tension springs 6 will pull the pressure plate 7 upward and move the T-shaped rod 10 below the pressure plate 7, thus creating a distance between the pressure plate 7 and the lower frame 3. At the same time, the movable plate 14 is opened and the lower frame 3 is tilted to pour out the dried vegetables in the lower frame 3.
