Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of freeze-dried flower tray technology, and in particular to a layered tray for preventing the sticking of freeze-dried flowers. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of dried flower processing, freeze-drying has become one of the core processes for producing high-quality dried flowers because it can preserve the shape, color and texture of the flowers to the greatest extent. During the freeze-drying process, the layered trays are key components for supporting the flowers. Their structural design directly affects the freeze-drying effect, anti-sticking performance and adaptability to flowers of different sizes. If the tray spacing is unreasonable or the structure is fixed, it is easy to cause the flowers to be stacked too densely and the contact area to be too large. This can lead to problems such as petal sticking and leaf deformation after freeze-drying, which seriously reduces the pass rate and aesthetics of dried flower products.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN113028760B, which provides a drying device and drying process for dried flower processing. Its core supporting component is a drying tray, which is slidably connected to the drying box via a slide rail to achieve layered placement of the flower materials.

[0004] However, during use, it was found that the height of the drying tray is fixed, making it difficult to adjust the spacing between adjacent drying trays according to the size of the flowers to be processed. When processing taller flowers, the fixed spacing can cause the top of the flowers to be squeezed against the bottom of the upper drying tray, resulting in damage to the shape of the flowers. When processing shorter flowers, the fixed spacing wastes the space inside the drying box, reduces the processing capacity per batch, and affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a layered tray for freeze-dried flowers that prevents sticking. This tray allows for the stacking of multiple L-shaped blocks, reducing the risk of damage caused by the compression between the top of the flowers and the bottom of the upper tray body. It also ensures the stability of the connection between the upper and lower trays, reduces the impact of tray body shaking on the flowers during the freeze-drying and transportation processes, and uses multiple separating components to partition and isolate the flowers placed on the tray body. This reduces the chance of flowers moving and stacking randomly inside the tray body and lowers the probability of petals sticking together during the freeze-drying process.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a layered tray for anti-adhesion freeze-dried flowers, including a tray body, brackets fixed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the tray body, multiple support blocks fixed at the bottom surface of the tray body, and folding blocks fixed at the four corners of the top surface of the tray body, with adjustment components installed on the upper end of the folding blocks;

[0007] The adjustment component includes multiple L-shaped blocks. Insert blocks are fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the L-shaped blocks and the bottom surface of the support, respectively. A slot is opened on the top surface of the L-shaped blocks. Adjacent insert blocks are inserted into the slots. The bottom surface of one L-shaped block is fixedly connected to the top surface of the folded block. Two grooves are opened on the L-shaped blocks. A rotating shaft is fixedly mounted inside the grooves. A pressure block is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. A locking block is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the pressure block. Two locking slots are opened on the insert blocks. The locking blocks are engaged with the locking slots.

[0008] The upper part of the tray body is provided with multiple dividing components.

[0009] Preferably, the tray body is hollow, a first spring is fixedly installed inside the groove, the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the pressure block, and the lower end of the pressure block is provided with an anti-slip protrusion.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the anti-slip protrusions increase the friction between the hand and the pressure block when pressing, reduce slippage during operation, and further improve the convenience of spacing adjustment.

[0011] Preferably, a gap is left between the bottom surface of the pressing block and the bottom surface of the groove, the groove wall at the upper end of the groove is arc-shaped, and a gap is left between the upper ends of the pressing block and the clamping block and the upper end of the groove wall, respectively.

[0012] The above technical solution provides sufficient space for the pressure block to rotate around the shaft, avoiding the impact of structural jamming on the spacing adjustment operation.

[0013] Preferably, the upper top surface of the tray body is provided with a placement groove, the separating component includes a separating block, the groove wall of the placement groove is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves, and the two ends of the separating block are respectively inserted into the corresponding positioning grooves.

[0014] Preferably, the two ends of the separator are respectively provided with opening slots, the lower end of the opening slot is connected to a circular groove, and a plug is slidably connected inside the circular groove.

[0015] Preferably, the positioning groove has a positioning hole in its wall, the insertion rod is inserted into the positioning hole, a circular ring is fixed in the inner wall of the circular groove, and the outer peripheral wall of the insertion rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular ring.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the separator block is initially fixed by inserting its two ends into the positioning slots on the wall of the placement slot.

[0017] Preferably, a conical block is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the insertion rod, and a lever is fixed on the top surface of the conical block. The outer wall of the lever is slidably connected to the wall of the opening groove.

[0018] Preferably, a second spring is sleeved in the middle of the insertion rod, one end of the second spring abuts against the ring, and the other end of the second spring abuts against the conical block.

[0019] The above technical solution allows the insert rod to slide synchronously with the conical block and disengage from the positioning hole in the positioning groove wall. At this point, the separator block can be moved or removed, and the number of separator blocks can be increased to achieve multiple sets of isolation, further reducing the contact area of ​​the flowers and reducing the probability of mutual adhesion during the freeze-drying process. This adapts to the processing needs of different batches and types of flowers.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The L-shaped blocks are connected by inserts on the bottom surface and slots on the top surface of adjacent L-shaped blocks, allowing multiple L-shaped blocks to be stacked. This reduces the damage caused by the squeezing of the top of the flowers against the bottom of the upper tray body. When processing shorter flowers, the number of L-shaped blocks is reduced, decreasing the spacing and reducing the waste of internal space in the freeze-drying equipment, thus increasing the processing and transportation capacity of flowers per batch. When a fixed spacing is required, the pressure block rotates around the pivot, causing the locking block at the top of the pressure block to engage with the slot on the insert, locking the relative position of adjacent L-shaped blocks and thus fixing the spacing between adjacent upper and lower tray bodies. If the spacing needs to be adjusted, the lower end of the pressure block is pressed to disengage the locking block from the slot, and the L-shaped blocks can be removed or added to relock the connection. This ensures the stability of the connection between the upper and lower trays and reduces the impact of tray body shaking on the flowers during freeze-drying and transportation. Multiple partition components at the top of the tray body isolate the flowers placed on the tray body, reducing the random movement and stacking of flowers inside the tray body, lowering the probability of petals sticking together during freeze-drying, and further ensuring the integrity of the flower shape.

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a layered tray for anti-sticking freeze-dried flowers, including a tray body 100, brackets 101 fixed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the tray body 100, multiple support blocks 102 fixed at the bottom surface of the tray body 100, and folding blocks 103 fixed at the four corners of the top surface of the tray body 100. An adjustment component 200 is installed on the upper end of the folding block 103.

[0032] The adjustment component 200 includes an L-shaped block 201, and multiple L-shaped blocks 201 are provided. Insert blocks 202 are fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the L-shaped block 201 and the bottom surface of the bracket 101, respectively. A slot 203 is provided on the top surface of the L-shaped block 201. Adjacent insert blocks 202 are inserted into the slot 203. The bottom surface of one L-shaped block 201 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the folded block 103. Two grooves 204 are provided on the L-shaped block 201. A rotating shaft 205 is fixedly provided inside the groove 204. A pressure block 206 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 205. A locking block 207 is fixedly provided on the upper end of the pressure block 206. Two slots 208 are provided on the insert blocks 202. The locking block 207 is engaged with the slots 208.

[0033] The upper part of the tray body 100 is provided with multiple dividing components 400.

[0034] The tray body 100 is hollow, and a first spring 209 is fixedly installed inside the groove 204. The other end of the first spring 209 is fixedly connected to the pressure block 206. The lower end of the pressure block 206 is provided with an anti-slip protrusion 210. The anti-slip protrusion 210 increases the friction between the hand and the pressure block 206 when pressing, reduces slippage during operation, and further improves the convenience of spacing adjustment.

[0035] A gap is left between the bottom surface of the pressure block 206 and the bottom surface of the groove 204. The groove wall at the upper end of the groove 204 is arc-shaped. The upper ends of the pressure block 206 and the locking block 207 are respectively left with gaps between them and the upper end of the groove wall of the groove 204. This provides sufficient space for the pressure block 206 to rotate around the rotating shaft 205, and avoids the spacing adjustment operation being affected by structural jamming.

[0036] The upper surface of the tray body 100 has a placement groove 300. The separator component 400 includes a separator block 401. The groove wall of the placement groove 300 has multiple positioning grooves 402. The two ends of the separator block 401 are respectively inserted into the corresponding positioning grooves 402. The two ends of the separator block 401 are respectively opened into opening grooves 403. The lower end of the opening groove 403 is connected to a circular groove 410. A rod 404 is slidably connected inside the circular groove 410. The groove wall of the positioning groove 402 has a positioning hole 405. The rod 404 is inserted into the positioning hole 405. A ring 406 is fixed on the inner wall of the circular groove 410. The outer peripheral wall of the rod 404 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the ring 406. The separator block 401 is initially fixed by inserting its two ends into the positioning grooves 402 of the groove wall of the placement groove 300.

[0037] A conical block 407 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the insertion rod 404. A lever 408 is fixed on the top surface of the conical block 407. The outer wall of the lever 408 is slidably connected to the groove wall of the opening groove 403. A second spring 409 is sleeved in the middle of the insertion rod 404. One end of the second spring 409 abuts against the ring 406, and the other end of the second spring 409 abuts against the conical block 407. This allows the insertion rod 404 to slide synchronously with the conical block 407 and disengage from the positioning hole 405 in the positioning groove 402. At this time, the separator 401 can be moved or removed. Increasing the number of separators 401 can achieve multiple sets of isolation, further reducing the contact area of ​​the flowers and reducing the probability of mutual adhesion during the freeze-drying process. This adapts to the processing needs of different batches and different types of flowers.

[0038] Working principle: The tray body 100 is the core load-bearing component used to place freeze-dried flowers; the brackets 101 at the four corners of its bottom surface and the multiple support blocks 102 on the bottom surface provide stable support for the tray body 100, avoiding uneven stress on the flowers caused by the tray body 100 directly contacting the placement surface.

[0039] The folded blocks 103 at the four corners of the top surface of the tray body 100 provide the mounting base for the adjustment component 200. The adjustment component 200 achieves spacing adjustment through the combination of L-shaped blocks 201. The bottom surface of one L-shaped block 201 is fixed to the top surface of the folded block 103, and the remaining L-shaped blocks 201 are connected to the slots 203 on the top surface of the adjacent L-shaped blocks 201 through the insertion blocks 202 on the bottom surface, so as to realize the stacking of multiple L-shaped blocks 201. This reduces the damage to the shape caused by the squeezing of the top of the flower material with the bottom of the upper tray body 100. When processing shorter flowers, the number of L-shaped blocks 201 is reduced and the spacing is narrowed, which reduces the waste of internal space of the freeze-drying equipment and increases the processing and transportation volume of flowers per batch.

[0040] When a fixed spacing is required, the pressure block 206 rotates around the pivot 205, causing the locking block 207 at the upper end of the pressure block 206 to engage with the slot 208 on the insert block 202, locking the relative position of adjacent L-shaped blocks 201, thereby fixing the spacing between the upper and lower adjacent tray bodies 100; if the spacing needs to be adjusted, press the lower end of the pressure block 206 to disengage the locking block 207 from the slot 208, and then relock after disassembling or adding the number of L-shaped blocks 201, ensuring the stability of the connection between the upper and lower trays and reducing the impact of the tray body 100 shaking on the flowers during the freeze-drying process and transportation;

[0041] Multiple partition components 400 on the upper part of the tray body 100 divide the flowers placed on the tray body 100 into separate sections, reducing the flowers from moving and stacking randomly inside the tray body 100, reducing the probability of petals sticking together during freeze drying, and further ensuring the integrity of the flower shape.

[0042] The tray body 100 is designed with a hollow shape, which allows air circulation while supporting the flowers, providing a channel for moisture to escape during the freeze-drying process, ensuring the uniformity of freeze-drying, and reducing the risk of flower deterioration or deformation caused by uneven freeze-drying. At the same time, there is a gap between the bottom surface of the pressing block 206 and the bottom surface of the groove 204. The upper wall of the groove 204 is arc-shaped, and there are gaps between the upper ends of the pressing block 206 and the upper wall of the groove 204. This provides sufficient space for the pressing block 206 to rotate around the rotating shaft 205, avoiding the impact of structural jamming on the spacing adjustment operation. In addition, the arc-shaped groove wall can reduce the frictional resistance when the pressing block 206 rotates, improving the convenience of adjustment.

[0043] One end of the first spring 209 fixed inside the groove 204 is fixed to the pressure block 206. When the lower end of the pressure block 206 is pressed to disengage the locking block 207 from the slot 208, the first spring 209 is in a compressed state. After the pressure block 206 is released, the elastic restoring force of the first spring 209 can drive the pressure block 206 back to the center, making it easier for the locking block 207 to be aligned with the slot 208 when re-locking. At the same time, the anti-slip protrusion 210 at the lower end of the pressure block 206 increases the friction between the hand and the pressure block 206 when pressing, reducing slippage during operation and further improving the convenience of spacing adjustment.

[0044] The placement groove 300 on the top surface of the tray body 100 provides a placement area for the flowers and initially restricts the displacement of the flowers. In the separator assembly 400, the separator block 401 is initially fixed by inserting its two ends into the positioning groove 402 on the groove wall of the placement groove 300. If it is necessary to adjust the separator position or remove the separator block 401, slide the pusher block 408 along the groove wall of the opening groove 403. The pusher block 408 drives the cone block 407 to move along the circular groove 410. The cone block 407 compresses the second spring 409, so that the insertion rod 404 slides synchronously with the cone block 407 and disengages from the positioning hole 405 on the groove wall of the positioning groove 402. At this time, the separator block 401 can be moved or removed.

[0045] After releasing the lever 408, the elastic restoring force of the second spring 409 pushes the conical block 407 back, causing the insert rod 404 to re-insert into the positioning hole 405, thus fixing the separator block 401. The ring 406 restricts the offset of the insert rod 404 during sliding, ensuring the alignment effect between the insert rod 404 and the positioning hole 405. The number of separator blocks 401 can be increased to achieve multiple sets of isolation, further reducing the contact area of ​​the flower materials, reducing the probability of mutual adhesion during the freeze-drying process of the flower materials, adapting to the processing needs of different batches and different types of flower materials, and improving the application range of the tray body 100.

[0046] 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.
