Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible fungi processing technology, and in particular to a circulating air drying device for edible fungi. Background Technology
[0002] Drying edible fungi is an important step in the processing of edible fungi. Fresh edible fungi have a high water content, which makes them prone to microbial growth and enzymatic reactions, leading to spoilage and decay. Drying reduces their moisture content, inhibits microbial growth and enzyme activity, and extends the shelf life of edible fungi. A proper drying process can preserve the nutrients, color, taste, and flavor of edible fungi to the greatest extent, and allow the dried fungi to recover their original state well after rehydration.
[0003] However, in existing technologies, traditional edible fungi drying usually uses coal, oil or electric heating, which results in uneven heating, easily causing local overheating or overdrying of edible fungi, leading to changes in the color of the fungi, loss of nutrients, affecting the appearance and quality of the product, poor moisture removal, low drying efficiency, high energy consumption, and high operating costs. Utility Model Content

In addition, the invention addresses the problems of poor moisture removal, low drying efficiency, high energy consumption, and high operating costs. The invention proposes a circulating air drying device for edible fungi.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a circulating air drying device for edible fungi, comprising a drying box, a ventilation pipe fixedly connected to the top surface of the drying box, a connecting box fixedly connected to the bottom end of the ventilation pipe, an adsorption drying box fixedly installed at the lower part of the ventilation pipe, the drying box comprising a box body, ventilation trays, connecting rods and sealing plates, the sealing plate being rotatably connected to the outer wall of the box body, a fan being installed on the inner wall of the box body, the connecting rods being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body, multiple ventilation trays being provided, multiple ventilation trays being inserted into one side of the connecting rods, an air supply box being installed on the inner wall of the drying box, the air supply box comprising a fixed frame, an air guide plate, a heating box and an electric heating tube, the heating box being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame, the electric heating tube being installed on the inner wall of the heating box, the air guide plate being positioned above the heating box, the air guide plate being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame, a swing mechanism being installed on the back of the box body, the swing mechanism being used to drive the air guide plate to swing within the fixed frame, the output shaft end of the swing mechanism being fixedly connected to the shaft end of the air guide plate.
[0006] Preferably, the swing mechanism includes a frame plate, a motor, a swing wheel, a telescopic rod, a support frame, and a drive shaft. One end of the drive shaft passes through the inner wall of the housing and is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the air guide plate. The support frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame plate.
[0007] Preferably, the top end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the drive shaft, the drive shaft is connected through the upper outer wall of the support frame, and the motor is installed on the lower outer wall of the support frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. In this utility model, the air inside the drying chamber is circulated by starting a fan and cooperating with the ventilation pipe. The circulating air is heated in the air supply box to circulate and dry the edible fungi on the connecting box, thereby improving thermal efficiency. At the same time, the swing mechanism drives the air guide plate to swing in the fixed frame, so that the blown hot air is evenly guided to all corners of the drying chamber, avoiding local overheating or underheating, ensuring that the edible fungi are heated evenly during the drying process, thereby improving the drying quality, making the mushrooms dry to a consistent degree, and reducing quality differences caused by uneven heating.

The air guide plate 52 is located above the heating box 53 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 51. A swing mechanism 6 is installed on the back of the box 11. The swing mechanism 6 is used to drive the air guide plate 52 to swing within the fixed frame 51. The output shaft end of the swing mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the air guide plate 52. A maintenance plate 15 is installed on the back of the box 11.
[0024] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described below. By placing the edible fungi to be processed on the ventilation tray 12 and installing it in the drying chamber 1, the fan 7 is started in conjunction with the ventilation pipe 4 to draw air from the drying chamber 1 to achieve circulation. The circulating air is heated in the air supply box 5 to circulate and dry the edible fungi on the connecting box 2, thereby improving thermal efficiency. At the same time, the swing mechanism 6 drives the air guide plate 52 to swing in the fixed frame 51, so that the blown hot air is evenly guided to all corners of the drying chamber, avoiding local overheating or underheating, ensuring that the edible fungi are heated evenly during the drying process, thereby improving the drying quality, making the mushrooms dry to a consistent degree, and reducing quality differences caused by uneven heating.
[0025] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 5As shown, the swing mechanism 6 includes a frame plate 61, a motor 62, a swing wheel 63, a telescopic rod 64, a support frame 65, and a drive shaft 66. One end of the drive shaft 66 passes through the inner wall of the housing 11 and is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the air guide plate 52.

Through the cooperation of the electric valve 22 and the air inlet pipe 23, when the temperature in the drying chamber is too high, the air inlet pipe 23 opens, and the external air inlet pipe 23 introduces cold air into the ventilation pipe 4 and then into the drying chamber. By adjusting the opening of the air inlet pipe 23, the amount of cold air entering the drying chamber can be precisely controlled, so as to achieve precise regulation of the temperature of the drying chamber, prevent the quality of edible fungi from being affected by excessive temperature, avoid problems such as changes in the color of the mushrooms and loss of nutrients, and introduce cold air to cool down when the temperature rises, so that the temperature of the drying chamber is kept within the set range, ensuring the stability of the drying process.

At the same time, the adsorption drying box 3 is used to adsorb and remove the moisture in the circulating hot air, thereby improving the thermal efficiency. Meanwhile, the motor 62 is started to drive the swing wheel 63 to rotate, and the telescopic rod 64 is used to drive the transmission shaft 66 to reciprocate.
