Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically a food raw material storage device with dehumidification, moisture prevention and uniform feeding functions. Background Technology
[0002] In the food processing process, the storage of food raw materials is crucial. In the prior art, the device with patent number CN202120378476.4 can reduce the oxidation rate of the heating wire by the air and thus extend its life by fixing the heating wire inside the electric heating tube. At the same time, the heat from the heating wire can be transferred to the electric heating tube to increase the heat conduction area and improve the heating speed of the heating mechanism to heat the air.
[0003] However, this device often has many problems. For example, the raw materials are prone to moisture and deterioration, which leads to a decline in food quality; the raw materials may clump during storage, affecting subsequent processing; at the same time, there may be problems with material discharge or inaccurate control of the discharge amount, which reduces production efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a food raw material storage device that can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 The aforementioned food raw material storage device for food processing includes a storage component 1, a dehumidification device 2, and a feeding component 3. Example
[0026] Specifically, the storage component 1 includes a storage box 11 with a feed inlet at its top for inputting raw materials. A support plate 12 is bolted to the bottom of the storage box 11, ensuring stability between the storage box 11 and the support plate 12. Support feet are bolted to the bottom of the support plate 12 to support the entire device. A mounting groove is located in the middle of the support plate 12, inside which a drive motor 13 is vertically mounted. The output end of the drive motor 13 has a rotating shaft that extends through into the storage box 11. A sealing assembly is installed at the point where the shaft passes through the storage box 11. The sealing component uses a sealing ring made of high-temperature and wear-resistant fluororubber. The sealing ring is tightly fitted on the outside of the rotating shaft and also fits tightly against the inner wall of the through hole of the storage tank 11. This effectively prevents the material in the storage tank 11 from being squeezed and leaked through the gap between the rotating shaft and the through hole, ensuring the sealing performance of the device. A partition plate 14 is symmetrically arranged above the rotating shaft. The partition plate 14 is connected to the rotating shaft through a bearing. The partition plate 14 can rotate around its own axis under the drive of the rotating shaft. The edge of the partition plate 14 fits tightly against the inner wall of the storage tank 11. Through this connection and structural design, the raw materials can be evenly distributed and agglomeration can be prevented. Example
[0027] Based on Example 1, in order to further reduce the humidity inside the storage box and prevent food ingredients from getting damp and spoiling, a dehumidification device was installed above the storage component.
[0028] The dehumidification device 2 includes a dehumidifier 21, which is located at the top of the storage box 11. The output end of the dehumidifier 21 is provided with a connecting pipe 22, which passes through the top of the storage box 11. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 22 is provided with a distribution box 23. The two ends of the distribution box 23 are symmetrically provided with exhaust pipes 24, and the bottom end of the exhaust pipes 24 is symmetrically provided with several exhaust ports. Through the connection of the dehumidifier 21, the connecting pipe 22, the distribution box 23 and the exhaust pipes 24, dry air can be evenly delivered to the inside of the storage box 11 to prevent the raw materials from getting damp.
[0029] The dehumidification device 2 also includes a heat-conducting plate 27, which is disposed at one end of the storage box 11. A heating plate 26 is provided at one end of the heat-conducting plate 27, and a number of heat sinks 25 are symmetrically provided at one end of the heating plate 26. This connection method allows the heat generated by the heating plate 26 to be transferred to the storage box 11 through the heat sinks 25 and the heat-conducting plate 27, so as to heat the raw materials when necessary and further prevent the raw materials from getting damp.
[0030] Specifically, the feeding component 3 is located on one side of the storage component 1, including a feeding pipe 31. The feeding pipe 31 extends through to one end of the storage box 11. A housing 32 is provided in the middle of the feeding pipe 31. A sliding groove is provided at the top of the housing 32. A baffle 33 is provided inside the housing 32. A pull plate is provided at the top of the baffle 33. A silicone sealing ring is provided between the pull plate of the baffle 33 and the sliding groove of the housing 32. The sealing ring has a rectangular cross section. The opening and closing of the feeding can be controlled by the sliding connection of the baffle 33 in the housing 32. At the same time, the silicone sealing ring ensures the sealing performance.
[0031] The feeding assembly 3 also includes an outer shell 35, which is located at one end of the feeding pipe 31. A second drive motor 34 is provided at one end of the outer shell 35. An auger shaft 36 is provided at the output end of the second drive motor 34. The auger shaft 36 extends through into the interior of the outer shell 35. An auger 37 is provided at the outer end of the auger shaft 36. The connection between the second drive motor 34 and the auger shaft 36 and the auger 37 enables the auger 37 to smoothly transport the raw materials to the next process. Support columns are symmetrically provided at the bottom of the outer shell 35. The bottom of the support columns is fixedly connected to the base by bolts to support the feeding assembly 3.
[0032] In actual use, when using this food raw material storage device, the food raw materials enter the storage box 11 through the feed inlet. The drive motor 13 is started, and the drive motor 13 drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby causing the partition plate 14 to rotate around its own axis, stirring the raw materials in the storage box 11 and preventing the raw materials from clumping.
[0033] At the same time, the dehumidifier 21 is started. The dehumidifier 21 delivers dry air to the distribution box 23 through the connecting pipe 22, and then discharges it into the storage box 11 through the exhaust pipe 24 and the exhaust port to reduce the humidity in the storage box 11. The heating plate 26 works and transfers heat to the storage box 11 through the heat sink 25 and the heat conduction plate 27 to further remove moisture and ensure that the raw materials are in a dry environment.
[0034] When feeding material, pull the pull plate to make the baffle 33 slide in the sliding groove of the housing 32, open the feeding pipe 31, start the drive motor 34, drive the auger shaft 36 to rotate, and the auger 37 rotates accordingly, conveying the raw material from the feeding pipe 31 to the outer housing 35, and then discharging it from the outer housing 35, thus achieving precise feeding.
[0035] This application discloses a food raw material storage device for food processing. This device can be used in any operation that requires storage, moisture protection, raw material stirring to prevent clumping, and quantitative conveying. This utility model is applicable to the storage of raw materials such as flour and sugar in the baking industry.
[0036] It should be noted that all electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a conventional known device that can be controlled by a computer or other means. The detailed description of known functions and known components is omitted in the specific implementation of this disclosure. In order to ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
