Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dietary fiber processing equipment, specifically a heating and drying tank for nutritional dietary processing. Background Technology
[0002] Dietary fiber, as an important functional food component, has its hydrolysis and drying processes directly affecting the quality of the final product. Existing technologies, such as patent CN213587376U, employ an integrated hydrolysis and drying mechanism. A fixed net carries the material, and a first cylinder drives a fixed ring to move between the hydrolysis tank and the drying cylinder, achieving continuous hydrolysis and drying operations.
[0003] However, dietary fiber releases sugars during hydrolysis, and due to its adhesive properties, it easily adheres to the surface of the fixing mesh after drying. Since the fixing mesh is an embedded structure, manual scraping is often required when removing the material, which not only affects work efficiency but also causes product loss. Forcibly peeling off the adhered material can easily cause fiber breakage, affecting the product's appearance and functional properties. This physical damage significantly reduces the value of high-value functional dietary fiber products. Therefore, a heating and drying tank for nutritional dietary processing is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a heating and drying tank for nutritional dietary processing. It has advantages such as shortening material handling time, avoiding manual scraping, and improving fiber integrity. It solves the problem that dietary fiber releases sugars during hydrolysis, and due to the adhesive properties of the fiber itself, it easily adheres to the surface of the fixing mesh after drying. Moreover, the fixing mesh is an embedded structure, which often requires manual scraping when removing the material, which not only affects work efficiency but also causes product loss. Forcibly peeling off the adhered material can easily cause fiber breakage, affecting the appearance quality and functional characteristics of the product. Especially for high-value-added functional dietary fiber products, such physical damage can significantly reduce the product value.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A heating and drying tank for nutritional dietary processing includes a support, a fixing ring and a guide sleeve. The top of the support is fixedly connected to a guide sleeve adapted to the fixing ring. A material tray is fixedly connected inside the guide sleeve. The surface of the material tray has first air holes arranged in a ring array and in multiple concentric rings. The inside of the guide sleeve is provided with elastic guide components arranged in a ring array and extending below it. The bottom of the elastic guide components is provided with a top material component that is adapted to both the guide sleeve and the first air holes. A handle is fixedly connected to the top of the guide sleeve.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0009] This heating and drying tank for nutritional dietary processing allows dietary fiber to be laid flat on top of a material tray. By holding the handle, a guide sleeve is inserted into a fixing ring, followed by hydrolysis and drying. The guide sleeve is then removed using the handle and placed on a flat surface. Pressing the handle causes the top material assembly to move along the elastic guide assembly towards the material tray, causing the elastic guide assembly to deform elastically. The top material assembly then protrudes through the first air hole, pushing the dietary fiber away from the material tray and allowing it to be poured out. This design offers the advantages of shortening material handling time and avoiding manual scraping operations.
[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the inner wall of the fixing ring is provided with a chamfer that matches the outer wall of the guide sleeve.
[0012] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the inner wall of the fixing ring is chamfered, which facilitates the positioning and installation of the guide sleeve.
[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the material tray is coated with a PTFE coating;
[0014] Furthermore, the surface of the material tray is provided with micro-protrusions arranged in a ring array and in multiple concentric rings.
[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the PTFE coating is a food-grade non-stick coating, which is resistant to high temperature, has a smooth surface and does not easily adhere to fibers. The micro-bumps reduce the contact area between dietary fiber and the material tray. The dual anti-stick design of PTFE coating and micro-bumps makes it easier for dietary fiber to fall off and improves the fiber integrity rate.
[0016] Furthermore, the elastic guide assembly includes flat-headed guide rods and springs. The guide sleeve has flat-headed guide rods arranged in a circular array and extending downwards. The top of each flat-headed guide rod is provided with a spring located inside the guide sleeve.
[0017] Furthermore, the top material assembly includes a base plate, a conical top rod, and a second air hole. The lower end of the flat-headed guide rod is fixedly connected to the same base plate that is adapted to the guide sleeve. The top of the base plate is fixedly connected to a conical top rod that is arranged in a ring array and is arranged in multiple concentric circles and is adapted to the first air hole. The surface of the base plate is provided with a second air hole that is arranged in a ring array and is arranged in multiple concentric circles.
[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the dietary fiber is spread flat on the top of the material tray, the guide sleeve is inserted into the fixing ring by holding the handle, and then hydrolysis and drying are carried out. The guide sleeve is taken out by holding the handle and placed on the flat surface. Pressing the handle makes the bottom plate move along the flat-headed guide rod towards the material tray, and the spring undergoes elastic deformation. The conical top rod then protrudes through the first air hole, pushing the dietary fiber away from the material tray, and then the dietary fiber is poured out. This can shorten the material picking time and avoid manual scraping operation. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.
[0025] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-4Provided is a heating and drying tank for nutritional food processing. This utility model includes a support 1, a fixing ring 2, and a guide sleeve 3. The top of the support 1 is fixedly connected to the guide sleeve 3, which is adapted to the fixing ring 2. The inside of the guide sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to a material tray 4. The surface of the material tray 4 has first air holes 5 arranged in a ring array and in multiple concentric rings. The inside of the guide sleeve 3 is provided with elastic guide components 6 arranged in a ring array and extending to its lower part. The bottom of the elastic guide component 6 is provided with a top material component 7 that is adapted to both the guide sleeve 3 and the first air holes 5. The top of the guide sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to a handle 8 located above it.
[0026] The upper end of the inner wall of the fixing ring 2 is provided with a chamfer 9 that is adapted to the outer wall of the guide sleeve 3;
[0027] The inner wall of the fixing ring 2 is chamfered 9 to facilitate the positioning and installation of the guide sleeve 3;
[0028] The surface of material tray 4 is coated with PTFE coating 10;
[0029] The surface of the material tray 4 is provided with micro-protrusions 11 arranged in a ring array and in multiple concentric rings;
[0030] The PTFE coating 10 is a food-grade non-stick coating that is heat-resistant, has a smooth surface, and prevents fibers from adhering. The micro-bumps 11 reduce the contact area between dietary fiber and the material tray 4. The dual anti-stick design of the PTFE coating 10 and the micro-bumps 11 makes it easier for dietary fiber to fall off and improves the fiber integrity rate.
[0031] The PTFE coating 10 is a food-grade non-stick coating that is heat-resistant, has a smooth surface, and prevents fibers from adhering. The micro-bumps 11 reduce the contact area between dietary fiber and the material tray 4. The dual anti-stick design of the PTFE coating 10 and the micro-bumps 11 makes it easier for dietary fiber to fall off and improves the fiber integrity rate.
[0032] The top material assembly 7 includes a base plate 701, a conical top rod 702, and a second air hole 703. The lower end of the flat-headed guide rod 601 is fixedly connected to the same base plate 701 that is compatible with the guide sleeve 3. The top of the base plate 701 is fixedly connected to a conical top rod 702 that is arranged in a ring array and is compatible with the first air hole 5. The surface of the base plate 701 is provided with a second air hole 703 that is arranged in a ring array and is compatible with the first air hole 5.
[0033] The dietary fiber is spread flat on the top of the material tray 4. Holding the handle 8, the guide sleeve 3 is inserted into the fixing ring 2. Then, hydrolysis and drying are carried out. The guide sleeve 3 is taken out through the handle 8 and placed on a flat surface. Pressing the handle 8 causes the bottom plate 701 to move along the flat-headed guide rod 601 towards the material tray 4, and the spring 602 undergoes elastic deformation. The conical top rod 702 then protrudes through the first air hole 5, pushing the dietary fiber away from the material tray 4, and then the dietary fiber is poured out. This shortens the material picking time and avoids manual scraping operations.
[0034] Working principle:
[0035] Step 1: Spread the dietary fiber evenly on the top of the material tray 4, hold the handle 8 and insert the guide sleeve 3 into the fixing ring 2. The inner wall of the fixing ring 2 is chamfered 9 to facilitate the positioning and installation of the guide sleeve 3. Then, the dietary fiber is hydrolyzed and dried.
[0036] Step 2: After the dietary fiber drying is completed, take out the guide sleeve 3 through the handle 8 and place it on a flat surface. Press the handle 8 to make the bottom plate 701 move along the flat-headed guide rod 601 toward the material tray 4.
[0037] Step 3: The base plate 701 moves toward the material tray 4, causing the spring 602 to deform elastically. The cone-shaped push rod 702 then protrudes through the first air hole 5, pushing the dietary fiber away from the material tray 4. The PTFE coating 10 is a food-grade non-stick coating that is heat-resistant, has a smooth surface, and prevents fibers from adhering. The micro-protrusions 11 reduce the contact area between the dietary fiber and the material tray 4. The dual anti-stick design of the PTFE coating 10 and the micro-protrusions 11 makes it easier for the dietary fiber to fall off, improving the fiber integrity rate. This allows the dietary fiber to be poured out, shortening the material handling time and avoiding manual scraping operations.
