Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of konjac food processing technology, specifically to a drying and feeding device for konjac food processing. Background Technology

[0002] my country is a major producer of konjac. Konjac cannot be eaten fresh, but konjac products are very popular with consumers, such as konjac noodles, konjac flour, and water konjac. These products usually require multiple processing steps before being made into finished products.

[0003] Chinese patent CN219674760U discloses a drying and feeding device for konjac food processing, including a feeding rack and a transmission mechanism installed inside. The feeding rack includes a connected inclined rack and a flat rack. Support columns are fixed at the bottom and connection points of the inclined rack and the flat rack. A collection hopper is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inclined rack. In terms of feeding method, an inclined and flat design is adopted. After the material is conveyed to a horizontal position at the same level as the dryer inlet using the inclined rack, it is conveyed through using the flat rack to achieve an integrated conveying process. When drying in the dryer, a continuous structure is used to dry the konjac slices conveyed by the conveyor belt from multiple angles. At the same time, spherical protrusions are used to support the konjac slices, reducing the contact area of ​​the konjac slices and increasing the drying and heating area, thereby achieving a more efficient drying effect.

[0004] In existing technologies, when drying processed konjac, hot air is brought into contact with one side of the konjac to achieve drying. After one side is dried, it is either manually turned over or further processing is carried out. The drying process is relatively complicated, and directly processing the konjac will result in a certain difference in the texture between the two sides, affecting the taste for consumers. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a drying and feeding device for konjac food processing. The device can dry both sides of the konjac, thus improving the drying effect and quality of the konjac.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A drying and feeding device for konjac food processing includes a placement rack, a conveyor belt, and an upper limit baffle. The conveyor belt is installed inside the placement rack and includes a connected inclined conveyor section and a horizontal conveyor section. The upper limit baffle is fixedly installed at the inlet end of the placement rack, and the outlet end of the placement rack has an outlet.

[0008] A turning device is installed at the beginning of the horizontal conveying section, a guide bar is installed in front of the turning device, and multiple air inlets are arranged side by side on one side of the placement rack of the horizontal conveying section.

[0009] The flipping device includes a connecting plate, a motor mounting base, a motor, a rotating shaft, flipping panels, and a rolling shaft. Two connecting plates are fixedly installed on the two outer sides of the placement frame. The rotating shaft is rotatably supported between the two connecting plates. Multiple flipping panels are evenly distributed along the circumference and installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is extended and has a connecting end. The motor mounting base is fixedly installed on the outer side of one of the connecting plates. The motor is fixedly installed on the motor mounting base. The output end of the motor is connected to the connecting end through a bushing drive. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, while the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft can drive the flipping panel to flip the konjac on the conveyor belt, thereby realizing the flipping operation of the konjac to be dried and improving the drying effect.

[0011] Furthermore, the flip panel is equipped with multiple rolling shafts for easy removal of konjac food.

[0012] Furthermore, the guide strip has a semi-circular cross-section, is set at the beginning of the horizontal conveying section, and is fixedly installed on the inner side of the two side walls of the placement frame, with the plane of the guide strip attached to the conveying belt.

[0013] With the above technical solution, the guide strip can lift one side of the konjac when it moves in front of the flipping panel, thus making it easier to flip the konjac with the flipping panel.

[0014] Furthermore, the flip panel is an arc-shaped flip panel, and there are six flip panels.

[0015] Furthermore, three rollers are installed on one of the flip panels.

[0016] With the above technical solution, after being flipped over, the konjac comes into contact with the rolling shaft, which reduces friction and prevents the konjac from sticking to the flipping panel.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This invention, by incorporating a turning device, enables the konjac to be turned over during the conveying and drying process, ensuring that both sides of the konjac are dried evenly. The guide strip is positioned close to the conveyor belt to facilitate the lifting of the konjac, allowing it to be more easily conveyed to the turning panel. The curved turning panel and the rolling shaft on it ensure that the konjac falls smoothly onto the conveyor belt instead of sticking to the turning panel, thus ensuring the konjac retains its texture from both sides after drying and improving the drying effect on processed konjac.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] refer to Figures 1 to 3 A drying and feeding device for konjac food processing includes a placement rack 1, a conveyor belt 4, and an upper limit baffle 3. The conveyor belt 4 is installed inside the placement rack 1. The conveyor belt 4 includes a connected inclined conveyor section 401 and a horizontal conveyor section 402. The upper limit baffle 3 is fixedly installed at the feeding end of the placement rack 1, which is the lowest point of the inclined conveyor section above the ground. The upper limit baffle 3 is installed at a certain distance from the feeding end. The discharging end of the placement rack 1 has a discharge port 101.

[0026] A turning device 5 is fixed at the beginning of the horizontal conveying section 402 by bolts. A guide strip 6 is provided in front of the turning device 5. The placement frame 1 has multiple parallel air inlet slots 2 on one side of the horizontal conveying section 402.

[0027] The flipping device includes a connecting plate 501, a motor mounting base 502, a motor 503, a rotating shaft 504, a flipping panel 506, and a rolling shaft 507. Two connecting plates 501 are fixedly installed on the two outer sides of the placement frame 1 by bolts. The rotating shaft 504 is rotatably supported between the two connecting plates 501. Six flipping panels 506 are evenly distributed around the circumference and installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 504. Three rolling shafts 507 are rotatably installed on one flipping panel 506. The rolling shafts 507 are rotatably connected to the front of the flipping panel 506 and facilitate the detachment of konjac food. One end of the rotating shaft 504 is extended to provide a connecting end 505. The motor mounting base 502 is fixedly installed on the outer side of one of the connecting plates 501 by bolts. The motor 503 is fixedly installed on the motor mounting base 502 by bolts. The output end of the motor 503 is connected to the connecting end 505 through a bushing 508 and a pin 509. The motor 503 drives the rotating shaft 504 to rotate.

[0028] While the motor 503 drives the connecting end 505 to rotate the shaft 504, the konjac on the conveyor belt 4 can be flipped by the flip panel 506. After flipping, the konjac comes into contact with the rolling shaft 507, which can reduce friction and prevent the konjac from sticking to the flip panel 506.

[0029] Furthermore, the guide strip 6 has a semi-circular cross-section, and the guide strip 6 is set at the beginning of the horizontal conveying section. The guide strip 6 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the two side walls of the placement frame 1. The plane of the guide strip 1 is installed against the conveying belt 4. The guide strip 1 and the flipping device 5 are set in a non-contact manner.

[0030] The guide strip 6 can lift one side of the konjac when it moves to the surface of the flip panel 506, so as to facilitate flipping with the flip panel 506. There is a gap between the guide strip 1 and the flipping device 5, and the gap will not affect the use of the flipping device 5.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] During konjac drying, a material frame is placed below the discharge port 101. The operator places the air conveying device of the drying equipment on the surface of the air inlet trough 2. The konjac is transported to the surface of the conveyor belt 4, and the hot air is guided to the conveyor belt by the air inlet trough 2 to achieve the drying effect. At the same time, the operator starts the motor 503. The motor 503 drives the connecting end 505 to drive the rotating shaft 504 to rotate. The rotating shaft 504 can drive the flip panel 506 on the surface to rotate. Through the cooperation of the flip panel 506 and the guide strip 6, the konjac can be flipped. When the flip panel 506 rotates to the appropriate position, the konjac can be guided by the rolling shaft 507 to rotate downward. After being flipped, the konjac will fall back onto the surface of the conveyor belt 4 to dry the flipped side, so that both sides of the konjac can be dried.

[0033] Based on the above description, any simple changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention's technical concept should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
