Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of nut processing equipment, specifically a nut uniform drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Nuts are a type of fruit with specific morphological characteristics in botany. Their definition differs somewhat between botany and everyday language. Botanically, nuts are defined as a type of indehiscent fruit, characterized by a hard pericarp, a single seed, and the inability to split open when mature.
[0003] In the drying process of nut processing, the drying device is the core equipment for dehydrating and shaping nuts and ensuring their storage quality. Although the existing drying devices can complete the basic drying operation, their feed inlets generally lack a flow regulation mechanism. In actual operation, if the operator pours too many nuts into the feed inlet at one time due to the work rhythm or operating habits, the material is easy to accumulate and compress in the feed channel, which will cause blockage. Once blocked, the drying process must be stopped immediately and the channel must be cleaned and unblocked manually. This not only greatly increases the repetitive workload of the operators, but also interrupts the continuous production rhythm. Therefore, it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a nut uniform drying device, including a support leg 1, a drying box 2 fixedly connected to the top of the support leg 1, a drive motor 3 fixedly connected to the top of the front of the drying box 2, a rotating shaft 4 fixedly sleeved at the other end of the output shaft of the drive motor 3, a rotating plate 5 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 4, and two connecting rods 6 hinged to the top and bottom of the back of the rotating plate 5. The other ends of the two connecting rods 6 are respectively hinged to a first adjusting plate 7 and a second adjusting plate 8. The outer surfaces of the first adjusting plate 7 and the second adjusting plate 8 are movably connected to the inner surface of the top of the drying box 2, and the outer surface of the first adjusting plate 7 is movably connected to the inner surface of the second adjusting plate 8.
[0018] When the drive motor 3 is running, the rotating shaft 4 will drive the rotating plate 5 to rotate, which in turn will cause the two connecting rods 6 to rotate and drive the first adjusting plate 7 and the second adjusting plate 8 to move in opposite directions, thereby achieving the purpose of expanding the feed inlet and preventing the nuts from blocking the feed inlet.
[0019] The first adjusting plate 7 and the second adjusting plate 8 are respectively hinged to the top of the first cover plate 9 and the second cover plate 10. The outer surface of the first cover plate 9 is movably connected to the inner surface of the second cover plate 10. The top of the first cover plate 9 is fixedly connected to the handle 11.
[0020] As the first adjusting plate 7 and the second adjusting plate 8 move in opposite directions, the first cover plate 9 and the second cover plate 10 will move in opposite directions together to expand the adjustment.
[0021] The drying oven 2 has a heating component 12 fixedly installed inside, and the heating component 12 is circular in shape.
[0022] The heating component 12 is designed to heat and dry the nuts inside the drying box 2.
[0023] The top of the drying chamber 2 is fixedly connected to a stirring motor 13, and the other end of the output shaft of the stirring motor 13 is fixedly sleeved with a stirring shaft 14. The bottom of the stirring shaft 14 passes through the drying chamber 2 and extends into the interior of the drying chamber 2, and is fixedly sleeved with a stirring blade 15.
[0024] When the stirring motor 13 is running, the stirring shaft 14 will drive the stirring blade 15 to rotate, causing the nuts to rotate and making them dry more evenly.
[0025] The top of the drying box 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting box 16, and the inside of the mounting box 16 is movably connected to the collection box 22. The inner surface of the mounting box 16 is fixedly sleeved with the connecting pipe 17, and the other end of the connecting pipe 17 is fixedly sleeved with the inner surface of the top of the drying box 2. The connecting pipe 17 communicates with the inside of the drying box 2. The outside of the mounting box 16 is fixedly installed with the fan 18. The two sides of the fan 18 are respectively fixedly connected with the air inlet 19 and the air outlet 21. The air inlet 19 and the air outlet 21 communicate with each other. The inside of the air inlet 19 is fixedly installed with the filter screen 20.
[0026] When the fan 18 is running, the connecting pipe 17 and the air inlet 19 will draw dust from inside the drying box 2. The dust is filtered by the filter screen 20 and falls into the collection box 22 for collection. The filtered air is then discharged to the outside through the air outlet 21, making the nuts cleaner after drying.
[0027] The bottom of the drying chamber 2 is hinged with a baffle 23, and the inside of the baffle 23 is threaded with a threaded rod 24. The top of the threaded rod 24 passes through the drying chamber 2 and extends into the interior of the drying chamber 2.
[0028] The downward movement of the rotating threaded rod 24 will release the locking effect on the baffle 23. At this time, the baffle 23 will rotate under the action of gravity to release the sealing effect on the bottom of the drying box 2, making it easier to discharge the dried nuts inside the drying box 2.
[0029] The number of support legs 1 is four, the four support legs 1 are the same size, and the four support legs 1 are symmetrical about the center of the drying box 2.
[0030] The design of four support legs 1 provides better stability for the drying box 2.
[0031] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: When drying nuts, first pull handle 11 to rotate the first cover plate 9 and the second cover plate 10 to release the sealing effect on the top of the first adjusting plate 7 and the second adjusting plate 8. Then pour the nuts into the drying chamber 2. Subsequently, the heating component 12 runs to heat the drying chamber 2. At the same time, the stirring motor 13 is started, which will cause the stirring shaft 14 to drive the stirring blade 15 to rotate, causing the nuts to rotate and making them dry more evenly. Since dust will be generated during the heating and drying process of nuts, the fan 18 is started at this time, which will cause the connecting pipe 17 and the air intake 19 to draw out the dust inside the drying chamber 2. The dust is filtered by the filter screen 20 and falls into the collection box 22 for collection. The filtered air is then discharged to the outside through the air outlet 21, making the nuts cleaner after drying. When unloading the dried nuts, the rotating threaded rod 24 moves downward to release the locking effect on the baffle 23. Then the baffle 23 is opened to discharge the nuts inside the drying chamber 2.
[0032] When the nut inlet is blocked, the drive motor 3 is started, which will cause the rotating shaft 4 to drive the rotating plate 5 to rotate, which in turn causes the two connecting rods 6 to rotate, causing the first adjusting plate 7 and the second adjusting plate 8 to move in opposite directions, thereby expanding the inlet and preventing the nuts from blocking the inlet, thus improving the drying efficiency.
