Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable preservation and dehydration, specifically to an environmentally friendly vegetable preservation and dehydration device. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetable preservation and dehydration is a processing technique that uses artificial technology to remove most of the water from fresh vegetables in order to extend their shelf life and maintain their nutrition and flavor. Its core lies in inhibiting microbial activity and slowing down chemical reactions, and is achieved through techniques such as hot air drying or freeze-drying.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent, CN221887637U, which discloses a vegetable dehydration device for processing pickled mustard greens. The device includes a drying chamber containing a mixing mechanism for stirring and mixing the pickled mustard greens within a dehydration frame. The mixing mechanism includes a mounting plate slidably connected within the drying chamber. A mixing plate is connected to the mounting plate near the dehydration frame via a telescopic component, and multiple mixing rods are fixedly connected to the other side of the mixing plate. This vegetable dehydration device, through the mixing mechanism, and the driving and pushing actions of the drive and pushing mechanisms, thoroughly stirs and mixes the pickled mustard greens, ensuring that the high-salt and low-salt portions mix and cross-contaminate, thereby guaranteeing the uniformity of salt content and further improving the evaporation rate and dehydration effect during the dehydration process.

[0004] Existing vegetable dehydration devices typically use hot air to evaporate the moisture from vegetables, thus achieving dehydration. However, vegetables need to be washed after harvesting, leaving a large amount of water on their surface. This significantly prolongs the dehydration process. Furthermore, the dehydration process requires turning the vegetables, which currently uses mechanically driven levers. This method can easily damage the surface of the vegetables, affecting their quality.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an environmentally friendly vegetable preservation and dehydration device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an environmentally friendly vegetable preservation and dehydration device. By generating high-frequency vibrations during the rotation of the tray, the device achieves surface dehydration and turning of vegetables, while ensuring uniform heating of the vegetable surface, thereby further improving the dehydration efficiency. This solves the problems of long dehydration cycles and mechanical turning affecting the quality of dehydrated vegetables in existing technologies.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an environmentally friendly vegetable preservation and dehydration device, including a base, a hot air inlet pipe symmetrically installed through one side of the base, a dehydration box installed on the upper part of the base, a box door installed on one side of the dehydration box, three sets of trays arranged in sequence inside the dehydration box, and multiple sets of connecting grooves arranged in a ring between the inside of the base and the inside of the dehydration box.

[0008] The vibration assembly installed inside the dehydration chamber includes an output shaft, which is rotatably connected between the upper part of the inner wall of the dehydration chamber and the top of the base. Each of the three sets of trays has a sleeve fixedly connected through it at its center, and the inside of the sleeve is connected through to the output shaft. Three sets of toothed rings are installed in sequence on the inner wall of the dehydration chamber, and toothed rings are installed at the bottom of each of the three sets of trays, with toothed rings fitting together.

[0009] The flow guiding component disposed within the base includes a main gear, which is rotatably connected within the base and is shaft-connected to the output shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the vibration assembly further includes a motor, which is mounted on the top of the dehydration tank and the motor output end is shaft-connected to the output shaft.

[0011] Preferably, guide blocks are symmetrically installed on the inner walls of the three sets of sleeves, and guide grooves are symmetrically opened on the surface of the output shaft, with three sets opened sequentially downwards, and the guide grooves are slidably connected to the corresponding guide blocks.

[0012] Preferably, three sets of limiting rings are sequentially sleeved and fixed on the output shaft, and springs are connected between the limiting rings and the corresponding sleeves, and the springs are all sleeved on the output shaft. Multiple sets of through holes are opened on the surface of the three sets of trays.

[0013] Preferably, the flow guiding assembly further includes flow guiding fans, which are rotatably installed in a ring-shaped distribution within the base. Each set of flow guiding fans is fitted with a secondary gear, and each set of secondary gears meshes with the main gear.

[0014] Preferably, the upper part of the inner wall of the base is provided with guide tubes arranged in a ring, and each group of guide tubes is fitted with a corresponding guide fan, and the interior of each group of guide tubes is connected to the corresponding connecting groove.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0016] The motor drives the output shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the tray to rotate. This causes the first toothed ring to rotate along the second toothed ring, and with the compression of the spring, the tray vibrates. This high-frequency vibration generated during the rotation effectively reduces the residual moisture on the surface of the vegetables and automatically turns them over, avoiding damage to the vegetable surface and reducing the dehydration cycle. Furthermore, the rotation process ensures stable hot air delivery and effectively heats the vegetable surface evenly, thereby further improving the dehydration efficiency.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-7 An environmentally friendly vegetable preservation and dehydration device is shown, including a base 001, a hot air inlet pipe 101 symmetrically installed on one side of the base 001, a dehydration box 102 installed on the upper part of the base 001, a box door 103 installed on one side of the dehydration box 102, three sets of trays 104 arranged in sequence inside the dehydration box 102, and multiple sets of connecting grooves 105 arranged in a ring between the inside of the base 001 and the inside of the dehydration box 102.

[0029] Hot air can be delivered to the base 001 through the hot air inlet pipe 101, and then to the dehydration box 102 through the connecting groove 105. The tray 104 can support the vegetables, and the hot air can dehydrate the vegetables on the tray 104.

[0030] The vibration assembly 002 installed in the dehydration chamber 102 includes an output shaft 202, which is rotatably connected between the upper part of the inner wall of the dehydration chamber 102 and the top of the base 001. A sleeve 203 is fixedly connected through the center of each of the three sets of trays 104, and the inside of the sleeve 203 is connected through the output shaft 202. Three sets of toothed rings 209 are installed in sequence on the inner wall of the dehydration chamber 102, and toothed rings 208 are installed at the bottom of each of the three sets of trays 104, with toothed rings 208 fitting against toothed rings 209.

[0031] The output shaft 202 can simultaneously drive three sets of trays 104 for selective drilling, allowing the toothed ring 1 208 to move along the toothed ring 209. At this time, the moving toothed ring 1 208 will swing up and down, thereby realizing the high-frequency vibration of the tray 104. The high-frequency vibration of the tray 104 can effectively remove the residual moisture on the surface of the vegetables. At the same time, the vegetables can be turned over as the vibration proceeds, and this turning over does not damage the vegetables.

[0032] The flow guiding component 003, which is located in the base 001, includes a main gear 301. The main gear 301 is rotatably connected in the base 001 and is axially connected to the output shaft 202.

[0033] The rotation of the output shaft 202 can drive the main gear 301 to rotate.

[0034] Furthermore, in the above structure, the vibration component 002 also includes a motor 201, which is mounted on the top of the dehydration tank 102, and the output end of the motor 201 is axially connected to the output shaft 202.

[0035] The motor 201 can drive the output shaft 202 to rotate.

[0036] Furthermore, in the above structure, guide blocks 204 are symmetrically installed on the inner walls of the three sets of sleeves 203, and guide grooves 205 are symmetrically opened on the surface of the output shaft 202, and three sets are opened downward in sequence, and the guide grooves 205 are slidably connected to the corresponding guide blocks 204.

[0037] Through the cooperation of the guide groove 205 and the guide block 204, the output shaft 202 can drive the sleeve 203 to rotate, so that the sleeve 203 can swing up and down during the rotation.

[0038] Furthermore, in the above structure, three sets of limiting rings 206 are sequentially sleeved and fixed on the output shaft 202. Springs 207 are attached between the limiting rings 206 and the corresponding sleeves 203, and the springs 207 are all sleeved on the output shaft 202. Multiple sets of through holes 210 are opened on the surface of the three sets of trays 104.

[0039] The spring 207 keeps the tray 104 in a downward position. When the toothed ring 208 and the toothed ring 209 work together, the tray 104 will move upward briefly. With continuous rotation, the spring 207 can drive the tray 104 to return to its original position. In this way, the tray 104 can vibrate at a high frequency during rotation, and the through hole 210 can ensure the uniform delivery of hot air.

[0040] Furthermore, in the above structure, the flow guiding assembly 003 also includes flow guiding fans 302, which are rotatably installed in the base 001 in a ring-shaped distribution. Each set of flow guiding fans 302 is fitted with a secondary gear 303, and each set of secondary gears 303 meshes with the main gear 301.

[0041] The secondary gear 303 enables the main gear 301 to drive each set of guide fans 302 to rotate during the rotation process.

[0042] Furthermore, in the above structure, guide tubes 304 are installed in a ring on the upper part of the inner wall of the base 001, and each group of guide tubes 304 is sleeved with the corresponding guide fan 302, and the interior of each group of guide tubes 304 is connected to the corresponding connecting groove 105.

[0043] The guide tube 304 allows the guide fan 302 to deliver hot air into the connecting groove 105 during rotation, thereby further improving the efficiency of hot air flow and dehydration efficiency.

[0044] The working principle of this practical application is as follows:

[0045] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-7By placing vegetables on tray 104, the hot air inlet pipe 101 is connected to the hot air blower pipe. While the external hot air blower delivers hot air, the motor 201 is started to drive the output shaft 202 to rotate, causing the output shaft 202 to drive the tray 104 to rotate. At the same time, the toothed ring 208 moves along the toothed ring 209, causing the tray 104 to rotate under the compression of the spring 207 and vibrate at high frequency. This gradually turns the vegetables on it and removes residual moisture from the surface of the vegetables. The rotating tray 104 ensures that the vegetables on it are heated evenly, and the guide fan 302 ensures the stability of the hot air delivery. This greatly reduces the dehydration cycle of the vegetables and ensures the quality of the vegetables after dehydration. Through this structure that generates high-frequency vibration during rotation, the residual moisture on the surface of the vegetables can be effectively reduced and the vegetables can be automatically turned over to avoid damage to the surface of the vegetables and reduce the dehydration cycle. The rotation process can also ensure stable delivery of hot air and effectively heat the surface of the vegetables evenly, thereby further improving the dehydration efficiency.

[0046] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
