Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dried sea cucumber soaking technology, and in particular to an automatic dried sea cucumber soaking device. Background Technology
[0002] Dried sea cucumber is a processed product of sea cucumber. Although its nutritional value is not as high as that of fresh sea cucumber, its nutrients are more easily absorbed by the human body and it is easier to store and transport, so it is very popular with people and the market.
[0003] When using dried sea cucumbers, they need to be soaked first. Restaurants and eateries, which frequently use sea cucumbers, soak large quantities daily. However, current methods often involve simply placing the sea cucumbers in a container of water and waiting for them to soak naturally. This significantly reduces soaking efficiency, especially when preparation time is limited. Therefore, we have proposed an automatic soaking device for dried sea cucumbers. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0026] Example
[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 An automatic soaking device for dried sea cucumbers includes a base 1, a box 2 with a top opening installed on the top of the base 1, and a partition plate 3 inside the box 2 to divide the box 2 into two chambers.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 has a cavity 21 inside. A turntable 24 is provided at the bottom of one of the cavities. Multiple guide plates 25 are installed at intervals along the top of the turntable 24. The guide plates 25 are inclined on the turntable 24. A drive shaft 23 is coaxially installed at the bottom of the turntable 24. The bottom of the drive shaft 23 passes through the box 2 and is placed in the cavity 21 and connected to a third drive motor 22. The third drive motor 22 is fixed in the cavity 21 by a bracket. The drive shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box 2. When the turntable 24 rotates, the guide plates 25 on it will agitate the water in the cavity, thereby driving the water in the cavity to rotate in a circle.
[0029] In order to allow the water in the chamber to rotate more smoothly, an arc-shaped slit 27 is provided on the inner wall edge of the chamber.
[0030] A placement basket is provided above the turntable 24, and a connecting shaft 12 is connected to the top of the placement basket, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the placement basket includes a connecting plate 13, which is fixed to a connecting shaft 12. An annular seat 20 is provided along the outer side of the connecting plate 13. The annular seat 20 is connected to the connecting plate 13 through a connecting frame. A base plate 15 is provided parallel to the bottom of the connecting plate 13. The base plate 15 and the annular seat 20 are connected by a metal mesh 16, allowing water to flow through the metal mesh 16 into the placement basket after it is placed in water. In actual use, the base plate 15 is a perforated plate, allowing water to flow into the placement basket more quickly and come into contact with the dried sea cucumbers inside.
[0031] Furthermore, a connecting post 14 is provided in the middle between the connecting plate 13 and the base plate 15. The ends of the connecting post 14 are connected to the connecting plate 13 and the base plate 15 respectively. Several strip-shaped slots 17 are opened on the metal mesh 16. Filter plates 19 are installed in the slots 17 to divide the interior of the basket into multiple spaces so that the dried sea cucumbers can be placed separately, reducing mutual influence between the dried sea cucumbers and reducing the contact efficiency between the dried sea cucumbers and the water.
[0032] To ensure the stability of the filter plate 19 on the metal mesh 16, a limiting groove 18 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting column 14, and the limiting groove 18 corresponds to the end of the filter plate 19.
[0033] A second drive motor 11 is installed on the top of the connecting shaft 12. The second drive motor 11 is mounted on the support frame 10, and the other end of the support frame 10 is mounted on the lifting frame. The bottom of the lifting frame is connected to the box 2. After the placement basket is placed in the water, the second drive motor 11 can drive the placement basket to rotate. In actual use, the rotation direction of the placement basket is opposite to the rotation direction of the turntable 24, so that the flowing water can come into relative contact with the dried sea cucumber. This can not only clean the dried sea cucumber well, but also allow the dried sea cucumber to move continuously in the water, improving its contact effect with the water.
[0034] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3The lifting frame includes a support column 4, the bottom of which is mounted on a linear motor 5, which is mounted on the outer wall of the housing 2. A cylindrical cavity 6 is formed on the side of the support column 4 near the housing 2. A lead screw 7 is provided inside the cylindrical cavity 6, and the end of the lead screw 7 is rotatably connected to the end of the cylindrical cavity 6. The top of the lead screw 7 passes through the support column 4 and is connected to a first drive motor 8, which is fixed to the support column 4. A movable seat 9 is threaded onto the lead screw 7 and is fixed to the support frame 10. The lifting and lowering of the basket can be controlled by the rotation of the screw 7 to allow the dried sea cucumbers to be placed and removed from the basket. The operation of the linear motor 5 can send the lifted dried sea cucumbers into another chamber. A crossflow fan 29 is installed at the end of the box 2 away from the turntable 24. The outlet of the crossflow fan 29 corresponds to the inside of the chamber, and the inlet of the crossflow fan 29 is located outside the box 2. A heating wire is installed at the outlet of the crossflow fan 29 to dry the soaked sea cucumbers to prevent them from getting too wet and affecting the taste after processing.
[0035] Furthermore, a guide shaft 26 is provided parallel to the side of the linear motor 5. The guide shaft 26 slides through the support column 4, and the end of the guide shaft 26 is mounted on a fixed seat. The fixed seat is fixed to the outer wall of the housing 2, which improves the stability of the support column 4 when it moves and provides additional support for the support column 4 on the linear motor 5.
[0036] It should be noted that drain pipes 28 are installed at both ends of the bottom of the box 2. The two drain pipes 28 correspond one-to-one with the two chambers and are used to drain the water in the chambers.
[0037] Specifically, in actual use, a control box is installed on the outer wall of the housing 2, and a controller is installed inside the control box. The controller is connected to the first drive motor 8, the second drive motor 11, the third drive motor 22, the linear motor 5, and the crossflow fan 29 through wires.
[0038] 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.
