Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of functional food drying technology, specifically to a high-efficiency and energy-saving functional food drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Functional foods are foods with specific nutritional and health benefits, meaning they are suitable for specific groups of people, regulate bodily functions, and are not intended for treatment. Functional foods are sometimes also called health supplements, but in academic and research contexts, the term "functional foods" is more scientifically accurate.

[0003] Existing functional food drying equipment generally suffers from the following problems:

[0004] Low drying efficiency: Traditional equipment often uses a single-layer or a few multi-layer drying structure, which has a limited single-pass capacity and is difficult to meet the needs of mass production.

[0005] High energy consumption: The air heating and circulation system is poorly designed, resulting in low heat utilization and a lack of air filtration and purification, which can easily lead to contamination by impurities during the drying process.

[0006] Poor drying uniformity: Hot air directly impacts the surface of the material, which can easily cause localized over-drying (such as the food on the upper layer being burnt due to direct heat), affecting the taste and nutritional components.

[0007] Inconvenient to operate: The opening and closing of the equipment and the loading and unloading of materials rely on manual handling, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and lacks convenient moving and positioning mechanisms, thus reducing production efficiency.

[0008] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a functional food drying equipment that is highly efficient, energy-saving, provides uniform drying, and is easy to operate. Through structural innovation, it achieves batch processing, precise temperature control, and convenient loading and unloading. Utility Model Content

[0009] The present invention aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art by providing a high-efficiency and energy-saving functional food drying equipment.

[0010] The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0011] A high-efficiency and energy-saving functional food drying equipment includes a mounting base, a protective cover on the top of the mounting base, and multiple longitudinally extending, parallel and spaced mounting racks fixedly installed on the top of the mounting base and inside the protective cover. Multiple placement racks for placing functional foods are inserted between two adjacent mounting racks. A drying mechanism is provided on the top of the protective cover.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drying mechanism includes an air compressor installed on the top of the protective cover, a drying chamber on the top of the protective cover and located to the left of the air compressor, a heating chamber fixedly installed on the top of the protective cover and located to the left of the drying chamber, an installation pipe connected to the right side of the heating chamber, the installation pipe penetrating into the interior of the protective cover and connected to uniformly distributed air guide pipes.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the air guide tube has an air jet port inside, and the air jet port is located at the top of the air guide tube.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first sealing cover is fixedly installed on the top of the heating box by bolts, and heating rods that are evenly distributed are fixedly installed on the bottom of the first sealing cover, with the heating rods extending into the interior of the heating box.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a second sealing cover is fixedly installed on the top of the drying oven by bolts, and a filter screen is fixedly installed on the bottom of the second sealing cover, the filter screen penetrating into the interior of the drying oven.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an exhaust hole is provided inside the mounting base and below the mounting frame, and the right side of the exhaust hole penetrates through the mounting base and extends to the right side of the mounting base.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the front and rear sides of the mounting base are provided with connecting grooves, and a connecting rod is inserted into the inside of the connecting groove. One side of the connecting rod is fixedly installed on the inside of the protective cover.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a guide wheel is fixedly installed on the left side of the bottom of the connecting rod, and the bottom of the guide wheel is in contact with the ground.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guide wheel is a self-locking universal wheel.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the air compressor has a built-in filter element at its air inlet and is connected to the outside air, and the air compressor's air outlet is connected to the side of the drying chamber away from the heating chamber.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. High-efficiency batch drying:

[0023] The multi-layered wire mesh rack, in conjunction with the mounting rack, can accommodate a large number of functional foods at the same time, significantly increasing the drying capacity per batch.

[0024] The drying unit, through the coordinated action of an air compressor, drying chamber, and heating chamber, achieves air pressurization, purification, heating, and uniform distribution, thereby shortening the drying cycle.

[0025] 2. Energy conservation and consumption reduction:

[0026] Air is compressed, filtered, heated, and then recycled to reduce heat loss;

[0027] The jet nozzle is located at the top of the air duct, and the hot air is naturally convectioned by the top of the inner cavity of the protective cover (instead of being forced to blow directly), which reduces energy consumption and improves heat utilization.

[0028] 3. Uniform drying and quality protection:

[0029] Hot air is ejected upwards through the top nozzle, and after being reflected by the top of the protective cover, it flows downwards evenly, avoiding direct impact on the food on the upper layer. This solves the problems of "dry top and wet bottom" or "scorched surface" in traditional equipment, ensuring the taste and nutrition of the food.

[0030] The filter screen removes dust and impurities from the air, and the drying chamber removes moisture, ensuring a clean and dry environment and improving food safety.

[0031] 4. Convenient operation and flexible maintenance:

[0032] The guide wheels (self-locking casters) work with the connecting groove and connecting rod to enable the quick opening and closing and positioning of the protective cover, facilitating material loading and unloading and equipment cleaning;

[0033] Modular design (such as removable first and second sealing covers) facilitates the inspection and replacement of components such as heating rods and filters. Attached Figure Description

[0046] Example

[0047] The high-efficiency and energy-saving functional food drying equipment provided in this embodiment, such as... Figures 1-7 As shown, the device includes a mounting base 1, a protective cover 2 on top of the mounting base 1, and multiple longitudinally extending, parallel and spaced mounting racks 7 fixedly installed on top of the mounting base 1 and inside the protective cover 2. Multiple placement racks 8 for placing functional foods are inserted between two adjacent mounting racks 7. A drying mechanism 3 is provided on top of the protective cover 2. The mounting racks 7 are used to install the placement racks 8. The placement racks 8 are used to place the functional foods to be dried while allowing airflow to dry the functional foods placed at the bottom, thus enabling the simultaneous drying of a large number of functional foods. The drying mechanism 3 is used to pressurize, dust-remove and heat the external air and send it into the interior of the protective cover 2 to dry the functional foods.

[0048] The drying mechanism 3 includes an air compressor 301 mounted on the top of the protective cover 2, a drying chamber 302 located on the top of the protective cover 2 and to the left of the air compressor 301, and a heating chamber 303 fixedly mounted on the top of the protective cover 2 and to the left of the drying chamber 302. An installation pipe 306 is connected to the right side of the heating chamber 303, extending into the interior of the protective cover 2 and connected to evenly distributed air guide pipes 305. The air compressor 301 is used to pressurize the air, the drying chamber 302 is used to filter and purify the air, and the heating chamber 303... The air compressor 301 is used to heat the air and deliver it to the interior of the protective cover 2 through the air duct 305 and the installation pipe 306 to dry the functional food. The air inlet of the air compressor 301 has a built-in filter and is connected to the outside air. The air outlet of the air compressor 301 is connected to the side of the drying chamber 302 away from the heating chamber 303. The airflow path is air compressor 301 → drying chamber 302 → heating chamber 303 → air duct 305. That is to say, the air is compressed by the air compressor 301 and enters the drying chamber 302 for dehumidification. Then it is heated by the heating chamber 303 and finally sprayed out evenly by the air duct 305.

[0049] An air vent 311 is provided inside the air duct 305. The air vent 311 is located at the top of the air duct 305. The air vent 311 is used to discharge hot air into the interior of the protective cover 2. At the same time, the air vent 311 is located on the upper side of the air duct 305 to blow hot air upwards, so as to prevent hot air from blowing directly onto the top of the mesh rack 8, which would cause the functional food on the top to dry excessively and affect the subsequent taste.

[0050] A first sealing cover 308 is fixedly installed on the top of the heating chamber 303 by bolts. Heating rods 307 are evenly distributed and fixedly installed on the bottom of the first sealing cover 308. The heating rods 307 extend into the interior of the heating chamber 303. The first sealing cover 308 is used to install the heating rods 307. The heating rods 307 are used to heat the air inside the heating chamber 303, thereby achieving the subsequent drying of functional foods.

[0051] A second sealing cover 309 is fixedly installed on the top of the drying chamber 302 by bolts, and a filter screen 310 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the second sealing cover 309. The filter screen 310 extends into the interior of the drying chamber 302. The second sealing cover 309 is used to install the filter screen 310, and the filter screen 310 is used to filter the air.

[0052] An exhaust port 304 is provided inside the mounting base 1 and below the mounting bracket 7. The right side of the exhaust port 304 passes through the mounting base 1 and extends to the right side of the mounting base 1. The exhaust port 304 is provided to exhaust the air and moisture inside the protective cover 2.

[0053] Both the front and rear sides of the mounting base 1 are provided with connecting grooves 6. A connecting rod 4 is inserted into the inside of the connecting groove 6. One side of the connecting rod 4 is fixedly installed on the inside of the protective cover 2. The protective cover 2 is limited relative to the mounting base 1 by the setting of the connecting rod 4 and the connecting groove 6.

[0054] A guide wheel 5 is fixedly installed on the left side of the bottom of the connecting rod 4. The bottom of the guide wheel 5 is in contact with the ground. The guide wheel 5 is used to support the left side of the protective cover 2 and facilitates the movement of the protective cover 2 to the right. This makes it easier to expose the placement rack 8, so that the dried functional food can be taken out and the functional food to be dried can be placed on the top of the placement rack 8 for drying.

[0055] In order to enable the guide wheel 5 to have a self-locking function to meet actual use requirements, it is set as a self-locking universal wheel.

[0056] In use, push the protective cover 2 to move to the left relative to the mounting base 1 under the action of the guide wheel 5. At the same time, expose the mounting rack 7 and insert the placement rack 8 containing the functional food into the interior of the mounting rack 7. After placement, move the protective cover 2 to the right and close it with the mounting base 1. After closing, the air compressor 301 pressurizes the air and sends it into the interior of the drying chamber 302. The air is filtered through the filter screen 310 and sent into the interior of the heating chamber 303 and heated by the heating rod 307. After heating, the air is sent into the interior of the protective cover 2 through the mounting pipe 306 and the air guide pipe 305. At the same time, the hot air is blown upward through the air jet 311. Guided by the top of the inner cavity of the protective cover 2, the hot air blows downward to dry the functional food placed on top of the placement rack 8. After drying, move the protective cover 2 to the left and take out the dried functional food.

[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
