Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of herbal dried fruit soaking technology, and in particular to a dual-temperature zone permeation soaking device for herbal dried fruit. Background Technology

[0002] In the food industry, traditional processing of dried fruit mainly employs hot air drying or vacuum freeze-drying technologies. While these methods effectively extend the shelf life of products, they often result in a monotonous taste, significant loss of flavor compounds, and the high-temperature drying process can damage heat-sensitive nutrients such as vitamin C and polyphenols, significantly reducing the nutritional value of the product. With the increasing consumer demand for functional health foods, ordinary dried fruit can no longer meet the market's requirements for nutritional fortification and functional diversification. To enhance product added value, impregnation technology has been introduced into the dried fruit processing field. By infusing functional ingredients such as herbal extracts, vitamins, minerals, or probiotics into the dried fruit, not only can the flavor be improved, but specific health benefits can also be imparted to the product.

[0003] Existing impregnation techniques typically involve directly mixing and heating the herbal solution with the dried fruit. However, while high temperatures can improve penetration efficiency, they can also destroy active ingredients such as polyphenols in the herbal solution. In view of this, this application proposes a dual-temperature zone permeation impregnation device for dried herbal fruit based on the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a dual-temperature zone permeation impregnation device for dried herbaceous fruits.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A dual-temperature zone permeation impregnation device for dried herbaceous fruits includes a frame, an impregnation tank, and a gantry crane. A lid is movably connected to the top of the impregnation tank, and an opening assembly is provided between the lid and the tank. An angle adjustment assembly is provided between the frame and the tank. An installation cavity is provided inside the tank, and a heating wire is fixedly installed within it. An installation groove is provided at the bottom of the tank, and a cooler is installed within it. A housing is located on one side of the tank, and a temperature control system is installed within the housing. The temperature control system includes a dual-channel PID controller for both hot and cold temperatures, which can independently adjust the operating states of the heating wire and the cooler. An impregnation cylinder is located inside the tank.

[0007] Furthermore, the opening assembly includes a cylinder, two symmetrical mounting plates are fixedly installed on one side of the impregnation tank, a rotating rod is rotatably installed between the mounting plates, a connecting plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the tank lid, one end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, a rectangular groove is formed on the connecting plate, a first connecting rod is fixedly installed between the inner walls of the rectangular groove, a first connector is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder, the first connector is rotatably installed outside the first connecting rod, a second connector is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the cylinder, two symmetrical connecting blocks are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the impregnation tank, a second connecting rod is fixedly installed between the connecting blocks, and the second connector is rotatably installed outside the second connecting rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the angle adjustment assembly includes a rotating column, a bearing seat is fixedly installed at the top of the frame, the rotating column is rotatably mounted on the bearing seat, the rotating column is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the impregnation tank, a motor is provided on one side of the frame, a drive wheel is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor, a driven wheel is fixedly installed on one side of one of the rotating columns, and a belt is provided between the driven wheel and the drive wheel.

[0009] Furthermore, a number of lifting rings are fixedly installed at the top of the impregnation cylinder, and the gantry crane device is equipped with hooks of the same number as the lifting rings. A number of seepage holes are provided on the impregnation cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, a liquid outlet pipe is fixedly installed near the top of the impregnation tank, and a sealing pipe is fixedly installed on the liquid outlet pipe via a flange.

[0011] Furthermore, a vacuum tube is connected to the can lid, and a sealing plug is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the can lid.

[0012] Furthermore, a heat-conducting plate is provided above the cooler.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting cavity is arranged in a spiral shape.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model, by setting up an electric heating wire, a cooler, and a temperature control system, first places the dried fruit into the soaking tank. The electric heating wire generates heat inside the soaking tank, preheating the dried fruit to 70 degrees Celsius. After the temperature control system detects that the temperature inside the soaking tank has reached 70 degrees Celsius, it disconnects the operation of the electric heating wire and starts the cooler to quickly lower the temperature inside the soaking tank to 40 degrees Celsius and maintains the operating temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. Then, the herbal solution is added to the soaking tank. In this way, the dried fruit can effectively absorb the essence of the herbal solution, while avoiding the impact of excessively high temperature on the activity of polyphenols in the herbal solution, ensuring that the entire soaking process is in the best condition.

[0016] 2. This utility model, by setting up a vacuum tube and an angle adjustment component, draws air out of the soaking tank during the soaking process of the herbal solution and dried fruit, creating a negative pressure environment. This accelerates the penetration of the herbal solution into the dried fruit, further improving the soaking efficiency. During the soaking process, the motor can also drive the soaking tank to swing back and forth at a small angle by rotating in both directions. Before swinging, the valve on the vacuum tube is closed, so that the components in the herbal solution can come into more even contact with the dried fruit, avoiding insufficient soaking in certain areas and ensuring the uniformity of the overall taste and quality of the dried fruit.

[0017] 3. This utility model, by setting up an angle adjustment component, a liquid outlet pipe, a lid opening component, and a gantry crane device, allows the dried fruit to be soaked. After the fruit is soaked, the sealing pipe is opened, the motor is started, and the motor drives the drive wheel to rotate. The drive wheel drives the driven wheel and the rotating column to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the soaking tank. The solution is discharged from the liquid outlet pipe. Then the soaking tank rotates back to a vertical position, the cylinder is started, and the cylinder pushes the first connecting rod, the connecting plate, and the tank cover to rotate around the axis of the rotating rod. The tank cover is opened, and the hooks on the gantry crane device are connected to the lifting rings respectively. The gantry crane device removes the soaking cylinder and the dried fruit inside. Excess solution flows out from the seepage hole. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 A dual-temperature zone permeation impregnation device for dried herb fruits includes a frame 1, an impregnation tank 2, and a gantry crane 3. A lid 4 is movably connected to the top of the impregnation tank 2, and an opening assembly is provided between the lid 4 and the impregnation tank 2. An angle adjustment assembly is provided between the frame 1 and the impregnation tank 2. An installation cavity is provided inside the impregnation tank 2, and a heating wire 5 is fixedly installed within the installation cavity. An installation groove is provided at the bottom of the impregnation tank 2, and a cooler 6 is installed within the installation groove. A housing 7 is provided on one side of the impregnation tank 2, and a temperature control system is provided inside the housing 7. The temperature control system includes a dual-channel PID controller for both hot and cold temperatures, which can independently adjust the working states of the heating wire 5 and the cooler 6. An impregnation cylinder 8 is provided inside the impregnation tank 2.

[0028] First, place the dried fruit into the soaking tank 8. The heating wire 5 generates heat inside the soaking tank 2, preheating the dried fruit to 70 degrees Celsius. Once the temperature control system detects that the temperature inside the soaking tank 2 has reached 70 degrees Celsius, it disconnects the operation of the heating wire 5 and starts the cooler 6 to quickly lower the temperature inside the soaking tank 2 to 40 degrees Celsius and maintains the operating temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. Then, add the herbal solution into the soaking tank 2. In this way, the dried fruit can effectively absorb the essence of the herbal solution and avoid affecting the activity of polyphenols in the herbal solution due to excessive temperature, ensuring that the entire soaking process is in the best condition.

[0032] Reference Figure 5 Specifically: a liquid outlet pipe 27 is fixedly installed near the top of the impregnation tank 2, and a sealing pipe 28 is fixedly installed on the liquid outlet pipe 27 through a flange;

[0033] After the dried fruit is soaked, the sealing tube 28 is opened and the motor 21 is started. The motor 21 drives the drive wheel 22 to rotate, and the drive wheel 22 drives the driven wheel 23 and the rotating column 19 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the soaking tank 2. The solution is discharged from the outlet pipe 27. Then the soaking tank 2 rotates back to the vertical position and the cylinder 9 is started. The cylinder 9 pushes the first connecting rod 14, the connecting plate 12, and the tank cover 4 to rotate around the axis of the rotating rod 11. The tank cover 4 is opened and connected to the lifting ring 25 by the hooks on the gantry crane device 3. The gantry crane device 3 removes the soaking cylinder 8 and the dried fruit inside. The excess solution flows out from the seepage hole 26.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 7 Specifically: a vacuum tube 29 is connected to the can lid 4, and a sealing plug 30 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the can lid 4;

[0035] During the soaking process of the herbal solution and dried fruit, the air in the soaking tank 2 is extracted through the vacuum tube 29 to form a negative pressure environment, which accelerates the penetration speed of the herbal solution into the dried fruit and further improves the soaking efficiency. During the soaking process, the soaking tank 2 can also be driven to swing back and forth at a small angle by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 21. Before swinging, the valve on the vacuum tube 29 is closed so that the components in the herbal solution can come into more even contact with the dried fruit, avoiding the situation of insufficient soaking in some parts of the dried fruit, and ensuring the uniformity of the overall taste and the consistency of the quality of the dried fruit.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 Specifically: A heat-conducting plate 31 is provided above the cooler 6 to uniformly transfer the cooling energy generated by the cooler 6 to the interior of the impregnation tank 2.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 Specifically, the mounting cavity is arranged in a spiral shape.

[0038] Working principle: First, the dried fruit is placed in the soaking tank 8. The heating wire 5 generates heat inside the soaking tank 2, preheating the dried fruit to 70 degrees Celsius. After the temperature control system detects that the temperature inside the soaking tank 2 has reached 70 degrees Celsius, it disconnects the operation of the heating wire 5 and starts the cooler 6 to quickly lower the temperature inside the soaking tank 2 to 40 degrees Celsius and maintains the operating temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. Then, the herbal solution is added to the soaking tank 2. In this way, the dried fruit can effectively absorb the essence of the herbal solution and avoid affecting the activity of polyphenols in the herbal solution due to excessive temperature, ensuring that the entire soaking process is in the best condition.

[0039] Meanwhile, during the soaking process of the herbal solution and dried fruit, the air in the soaking tank 2 is extracted through the vacuum tube 29 to form a negative pressure environment, which accelerates the penetration speed of the herbal solution into the dried fruit and further improves the soaking efficiency.

[0040] During the soaking process, the motor 21 can be rotated in both directions to drive the soaking tank 2 to swing back and forth at a small angle. Before swinging, the valve on the vacuum tube 29 should be closed so that the ingredients in the herbal solution can come into more even contact with the dried fruit, avoiding insufficient soaking of some dried fruit and ensuring the uniformity of the overall taste and the consistency of the quality of the dried fruit.

[0041] After the dried fruit is soaked, the sealing tube 28 is opened and the motor 21 is started. The motor 21 drives the drive wheel 22 to rotate, and the drive wheel 22 drives the driven wheel 23 and the rotating column 19 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the soaking tank 2. The solution is discharged from the outlet pipe 27. Then the soaking tank 2 rotates back to the vertical position and the cylinder 9 is started. The cylinder 9 pushes the first connecting rod 14, the connecting plate 12, and the tank cover 4 to rotate around the axis of the rotating rod 11. The tank cover 4 is opened and connected to the lifting ring 25 by the hooks on the gantry crane device 3. The gantry crane device 3 removes the soaking cylinder 8 and the dried fruit inside. The excess solution flows out from the seepage hole 26.
