Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pepper drying equipment, specifically a drying equipment for pepper raw materials. Background Technology

[0002] When extracting the active ingredients from Sichuan peppercorns, a drying device is required to dry the peppercorns. In existing technology, the Sichuan peppercorn drying device consists of a drying tank, a drying fan, and a heating element. The heat generated by the heating element is blown into the drying tank by the drying fan, thereby drying the Sichuan peppercorns inside the tank. An existing Sichuan peppercorn drying device (publication number: CN219713903U) exhibits at least the following drawbacks during use:

[0003] In the above scheme, the pepper trays can be moved directly from the left side of the pepper drying conveyor through the conveyor. The upper and lower dryer structure facilitates drying on both sides. The heat inlet pipes of the upper and lower dryers are connected to the drying heater, which facilitates the drying of pepper materials in the pepper trays on the pepper drying conveyor inside the drying shell. However, in actual use, in order to obtain the best drying effect, the peppers need to be spread evenly on the trays. During the conveying process, the peppers cannot be turned over, which makes it difficult for the side in contact with the tray to be dried. Therefore, a drying device for pepper raw materials needs to be developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a drying device for Sichuan pepper raw materials, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A drying device for Sichuan pepper raw materials includes a drying outer frame 101. A vent pipe 401 is fixedly connected to the top side of the drying outer frame 101. One end of the vent pipe 401 is fixedly connected to a gas collecting hopper 402. The top end of the gas collecting hopper 402 is connected to the bottom end of the drying outer frame 101. A heating frame 403 and a receiving outer frame 408 are disposed within the vent pipe 401. Multiple evenly distributed heating plates 404 are fixedly connected between the inner walls of the heating frame 403. An air pump 405 is fixedly connected to the top side of the heating frame 403. The output end of the air pump 405 is connected to the inside of the vent pipe 401. A sliding frame 406 is slidably connected between the inner walls of the receiving outer frame 408. One side of the sliding frame 406 extends beyond the receiving outer frame 408, and a water-absorbing partition 407 is disposed between the inner walls of the sliding frame 406. In this embodiment, the operation of the air pump 405 drives air to circulate in the drying frame 101 and the air pipe 401. At the same time, the setting of the electrically powered heating plate 404 and the water-absorbing partition 407 generates a dry hot air flow to dry the peppercorns.

[0025] Multiple evenly distributed sliding plates 203 are slidably connected between the inner walls of both sides of the drying outer frame 101. Each sliding plate 203 has a sliding side frame 201 fixedly connected to both sides for connection with the inner wall of the drying outer frame 101. A rotating cylinder wall 206 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of each sliding plate 203. Multiple evenly distributed drive blades 204 are fixedly connected between the inner walls of each rotating cylinder wall 206. A moisture-permeable bottom plate 205 is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the bottom end of the rotating cylinder wall 206. The top side of the moisture-permeable bottom plate 205 is fixedly connected to the corresponding drive blade 204. Multiple sets of evenly distributed moisture-permeable slots 202 are formed on the surface of the moisture-permeable bottom plate 205, each set of slots being located within the moisture-permeable bottom plate 205 enclosed by two adjacent drive blades 204. In this embodiment, the drive blades 204 have the same inclination direction, so that when the drive blades 204 are impacted by hot dry air, they will drive the rotating cylinder wall 206 to rotate.

[0026] Each drive blade 204 has a placement base 303 snapped onto its top. A ring of outer frames 301 is fixedly connected to the outer sides of all placement bases 303. A filter screen 304 is fixedly connected to the inner walls of each outer frame 301. Multiple evenly distributed handles 302 are fixedly connected to the top of each outer frame 301, with the top of each handle extending beyond the top of the corresponding rotating cylinder wall 206. The bottom of each filter screen 304 is fixedly connected to the corresponding placement base 303. In this embodiment, the peppercorns to be dried are placed on the top of the filter screen 304, allowing hot, dry air to flow through while preventing the peppercorns from falling. The handles 302 facilitate the removal of the outer frame 301 by the operator. The placement base 303 allows the outer frame 301 to rotate with the drive blade 204.

[0027] One side of the drying frame 101 is open, and a sealing door 103 is rotatably connected to one side of the drying frame 101. The sealing door 103 is adapted to the open side of the drying frame 101, and multiple support legs 102 are fixedly connected to the top side of the drying frame 101.

[0028] It should be noted that this utility model is a drying device for Sichuan pepper raw materials. In use, Sichuan pepper is placed in the placement frame 301 and then in the drying frame 101. Through the air pipe 401, hot dry air is guided to flow over the surface of the Sichuan pepper to dry it. At the same time, through the drive blades 204, the air pump 405 generates a stream of hot dry air that blows from the top side of the drying frame 101 toward the Sichuan pepper and flows over the inclined drive blades 204, thereby driving the rotating cylinder wall 206 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the placement frame 301 and the Sichuan pepper placed inside the placement frame 301 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating cylinder wall 206 prevents the Sichuan pepper from being blown out of the placement frame 301. During the rotation, the Sichuan pepper is flattened and rolled, so that all sides of the Sichuan pepper are in full contact with the flowing hot dry air, achieving a better drying effect.

[0029] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
