Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of honeysuckle blanching technology, and in particular to a multi-angle rapid blanching device for honeysuckle production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of honeysuckle, blanching is a key step that determines its quality. Its core purpose is to quickly destroy the activity of oxidases in honeysuckle cells through high temperature, inhibit the oxidation of polyphenols, thereby maintaining the inherent color, aroma and effective components (such as chlorogenic acid and luteolin) of honeysuckle, while removing some moisture to lay the foundation for subsequent drying and storage processes.

[0003] Currently, honeysuckle blanching equipment mainly includes drum blanching machines, hot air circulating blanching machines, and steam blanching machines. Among them, hot air blanching equipment is widely used due to its simple operation and relatively low energy consumption. However, existing hot air blanching equipment has the following technical defects in actual production:

[0004] There are blind spots in hot air coverage: the hot air pipes of traditional hot air blanching equipment are mostly fixed angles or unidirectional air supply, and the diffusion range of hot air in the cylinder is limited. As a result, honeysuckle near the air outlet is easily over-baked, while the corner areas far away from the air outlet may have incomplete blanching due to insufficient hot air, resulting in uneven honeysuckle quality.

[0005] Excessive localized heating affects efficiency: When hot air at a fixed angle continuously acts on the same area, it can easily cause the temperature in that area to rise sharply. This can not only destroy the effective components of honeysuckle, but also require waiting for the equipment to cool down between batches, thus prolonging the production cycle and reducing the efficiency of blanching.

[0006] The cylinder structure design is unreasonable: the cylinder of the existing equipment is mostly straight or single arc design. Honeysuckle tends to accumulate at the bottom or corners of the cylinder and cannot flow evenly with the hot air, which further aggravates the problem of uneven blanching. At the same time, the poor guidance of feeding and discharging can easily cause material to stagnate, affecting the efficiency of continuous production.

[0007] Therefore, in order to address the problems of uneven hot air coverage, local overheating, and low efficiency of existing hot air blanching equipment, there is a need for a blanching equipment for honeysuckle production that can achieve multi-angle air delivery, optimize cylinder structure, and improve blanching uniformity and efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, on the one hand, there are differences in understanding among those skilled in the art; on the other hand, the applicant studied a large number of documents and patents when making this utility model, but due to space limitations, not all details and contents were listed in detail. However, this does not mean that this utility model does not have the features of these prior art. On the contrary, this utility model has all the features of the prior art, and the applicant reserves the right to add relevant prior art to the background art. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following is a detailed explanation with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This utility model provides a multi-angle rapid blanching device for honeysuckle production, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes the main body 100. (As shown...) Figure 3As shown, the main body 100 is hollow inside, and a cylinder 101 for holding honeysuckle is provided inside the main body 100. The vertical end of the cylinder 101 is in contact with the inner wall of the main body 100, and the vertical lower end of the cylinder 101 is set as an arc-shaped curved surface. A hot air mechanism 200 is provided on the side of the main body 100. The hot air mechanism 200 includes a first drive motor 201, a second drive motor 202, and a hot air blower 203, which are fixedly connected to the side of the main body 100. The hot air blower 203 is provided with a hot air pipe 204 that communicates with the interior of the main body 100. An arc-shaped groove 102 is provided on the main body 100 to accommodate the swinging of the hot air pipe 204. The first drive motor 201 and the second drive motor 202 are connected to the hot air pipe 204 via a linkage assembly in a manner that drives the air outlet of the hot air pipe 204 to swing within the arc-shaped groove 102. The cylinder 101 is preferably made of a breathable material to facilitate the baking of honeysuckle by hot air. This invention, through the configuration of a first drive motor 201, a second drive motor 202, and corresponding connecting rod assemblies, enables the hot air pipe 204 to oscillate within the arc-shaped groove 102. This allows the hot air mechanism 200 to perform multi-angle rapid blanching of the honeysuckle within the cylinder 101, avoiding blind spots in the blanching process. Simultaneously, this multi-angle blanching method avoids overheating of a single location, which reduces the blanching effect, and avoids the need for prolonged cooling times, thus reducing blanching efficiency. This invention, through the synchronous counter-movement of the first drive motor 201 and the second drive motor 202, combined with the longitudinal rotational connection structure of the connecting rod assembly, enables the hot air pipe 204 to achieve high-precision oscillation within the arc-shaped groove 102. This motion mode, through the coordinated action of the two motors forming a near-parallelogram transmission structure, ensures the stability of the hot air pipe oscillation and allows for precise adjustment of the hot air coverage area through series control or software synchronization technology. Compared to single-motor drive, the synchronous reverse motion of dual motors can eliminate the swaying lag or angle deviation problems commonly found in traditional equipment, enabling the hot air outlet to complete a 180° fan-shaped area scan within 0.5 seconds, effectively solving the oxidation and discoloration problem caused by hot air dead angles during the blanching process of honeysuckle.

[0029] According to a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the linkage assembly includes a first link 207 rotatably connected to a first output rod 205 of a first drive motor 201 and a second link 208 rotatably connected to a second output rod 206 of a second drive motor 202. The first link 207 is rotatably connected to the first output rod 205 in the longitudinal direction, and the second link 208 is rotatably connected to the second output rod 206 in the longitudinal direction such that the first link 207 and the second link 208 rotate in a parallel plane on the side of the main body 100.

[0030] It should be noted that the first drive motor 201 and the second drive motor 202 operate synchronously, with the same process but opposite directions. They can achieve synchronous operation through series motion or through software synchronous control. Specifically, for example, synchronous operation of the motors can be achieved through frequency converter control, selecting one motor as the master motor and the other as the slave motor. The master motor receives speed commands, and the slave motor adjusts its drive speed and process according to the output signal of the master motor, thereby ensuring that the two motors operate at the same frequency, with the same process but opposite directions. Another example is achieving synchronous operation of multiple motors through closed-loop control. The above control methods are all existing control methods, and this application will not elaborate further.

[0031] According to a preferred embodiment, a retaining ring 209 is provided at one end of the hot air duct 204 near the side of the main body 100. One end of the first connecting rod 207 and one end of the second connecting rod 208 are respectively slidably connected to the horizontal sides of the retaining ring 209. Preferably, the horizontal sides of the retaining ring 209 are sleeved on one end of the first connecting rod 207 and one end of the second connecting rod 208, allowing the first connecting rod 207 and the second connecting rod 208 to slide and extend. The sliding connection structure between the retaining ring 209 and the connecting rod assembly allows the first connecting rod 207 and the second connecting rod 208 to extend and retract when pushing the hot air duct to swing. This design maintains the rigidity of the mechanical transmission and compensates for the displacement difference generated when the hot air duct moves along an arc trajectory through the sliding pair, thereby reducing the mechanical stress when the hot air duct swings and significantly improving the uniformity of multi-angle blanching. In addition, the sliding connection design simplifies the equipment maintenance process, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly disassemble the connecting rod assembly for inspection.

[0032] According to a preferred embodiment, the hot air duct 204 is provided with telescopic pleats to assist the swinging of the fixing ring 209. Preferably, the telescopic pleats can be made of silicone material. The above-described arrangement solves the problem of weld cracking that easily occurs in traditional rigid pipes during frequent swinging, while maintaining the airtightness of hot air transmission and extending the service life of the hot air duct 204.

[0033] According to a preferred embodiment, a sliding ring 210 is provided at the contact position between the hot air duct 204 and the arc-shaped groove 102. The sliding ring 210 is engaged within the arc-shaped groove 102 in a manner that causes the hot air duct 204 to swing. The sliding ring 210 can reduce the mechanical resistance when the hot air duct 204 swings, allowing the hot air duct 204 to swing smoothly. At the same time, the limiting effect of the arc-shaped groove 102 ensures that the hot air outlet is always kept within the design deviation range.

[0034] According to a preferred embodiment, a turntable 103 is also provided on the side of the main body 100 and rotatably connected to the side of the main body 100. A fixing ring 209 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the turntable 103 in a manner that corrects the swing trajectory. By fixing the turntable 103, the swing trajectory of the hot air pipe 204 can be effectively limited, ensuring the blanching effect on the honeysuckle inside, especially when processing batches of honeysuckle with large differences in moisture content.

[0035] According to a preferred embodiment, the vertical bottom surface of the cylinder 101 near the hot air mechanism 200 is provided with a first inclination angle to form an inclined arc-shaped surface. The vertical bottom surface of the cylinder 101 away from the hot air mechanism 200 is provided with a second inclination angle to form an inclined arc-shaped surface. The first inclination angle is greater than the second inclination angle. The differentiated design of the first and second inclination angles creates a gradient arrangement of hot air inside the cylinder 101. When hot air is blown in from the direction of the arc-shaped groove 102, most of the hot air will first come into contact with the inclined arc-shaped surface with the first inclination angle, thereby efficiently blanching the honeysuckle inside. Subsequently, the hot air advances along the inclined arc-shaped surface with the first inclination angle to reach the inclined arc-shaped surface with the second inclination angle. At this stage, due to the contact and stagnation of the hot air on the inclined arc-shaped surface with the first inclination angle and the extension of the hot air flow path, the hot air effect is reduced, forming a temperature gradient, avoiding over-blanching of the honeysuckle, and the subsequent inclination facilitates the honeysuckle falling into the discharge port 105 for collection.

[0036] According to a preferred embodiment, the vertical height of the end of the arc-shaped surface with the first tilt angle closest to the arc-shaped groove 102 is above the arc-shaped groove 102. The vertical height of the end of the arc-shaped surface with the first tilt angle away from the arc-shaped groove 102 is below the arc-shaped groove 102. The spatial layout of the first tilted surface forms a "high at the top and low at the bottom" drop structure, allowing the hot air blown in from the direction of the arc-shaped groove 102 to quickly reach the outer wall of the tilted arc-shaped surface with the first tilt angle, thus accelerating the blanching efficiency of the honeysuckle.

[0037] According to a preferred embodiment, a feed inlet 104 is provided at the vertical upper end of the main body 100. The feed inlet 104 communicates with the cylinder 101 in such a way that it is aligned with the arcuate surface at the first inclination angle. The precise alignment of the feed inlet 104 with the first inclination surface ensures that the honeysuckle gains an initial rolling speed upon entering the cylinder. This reduces the "dead corner" accumulation phenomenon commonly found in traditional equipment.

[0038] According to a preferred embodiment, a discharge port 105 is provided at the vertically downward end of the main body 100. The discharge port 105 is connected to the cylinder 101 in such a way that it is aligned with the arcuate surface at the second inclination angle. The design of the discharge port 105 and the second inclination surface allows the blanched honeysuckle to automatically slide down under gravity, eliminating the need for an additional conveying device. This design reduces the overall energy consumption of the equipment while improving material turnover efficiency.
