Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dried sea cucumber processing technology, and more specifically, to a microwave drying device for dried sea cucumber processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the seafood processing industry, dried sea cucumbers, as high-value seafood delicacies, require precise dehydration and drying to preserve their nutritional components and quality. Traditional dried sea cucumber processing equipment typically employs a layered drying method, placing sea cucumbers on multiple layers of support plates for batch processing. However, existing drying equipment has significant shortcomings in the installation and fixing of these support plates. Operators must use bolts, clips, or other fasteners to secure each support plate individually to its designated position within the drying chamber. This method is not only cumbersome but also time-consuming when processing multiple layers, severely impacting production efficiency. The limitations of this traditional fixing method are particularly pronounced in large-scale production or when frequent changes to different sizes of support plates are required, increasing labor costs and equipment downtime.

[0003] In practical applications of continuous production and equipment maintenance, rapid disassembly capability is crucial for improving equipment utilization and reducing maintenance costs. The disassembly process of the support plates in existing dried sea cucumber drying equipment is equally complex. Operators often need to use specialized tools to loosen the fixing devices one by one, and performing disassembly operations in a high-temperature environment is neither safe nor efficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a microwave drying device for processing dried sea cucumber, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a microwave drying device for processing dried sea cucumber, comprising a drying chamber, wherein a fixing plate is fixedly installed inside the drying chamber, and multiple sets of fixing plates are provided, each with a fixing mechanism at its top. Each fixing mechanism includes a rod and a fixing sleeve. The rod is fixed to the fixing plate, and the fixing sleeve is inserted into the top of the rod. Each of the multiple sets of fixing plates is provided with a placement plate, which is inserted into multiple sets of rods respectively. A snap-fit ​​piece is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing sleeve, and multiple sets of snap-fit ​​pieces are provided. A slot is opened on the outer side of the rod, and a sliding groove is opened on the outer side of the fixing sleeve, and multiple sets of sliding grooves are provided. A sliding sleeve is slidably installed on the outer side of the fixing sleeve, sliding within multiple sets of sliding grooves. A guide groove is opened on the outer side of the rod, and multiple sets of guide grooves are provided. A push plate is fixedly installed on the inner side of the sliding sleeve, and multiple sets of push plates are provided, each sliding within multiple sets of guide grooves.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that a sliding rod is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the sliding sleeve, and multiple sets of sliding rods are provided, each with a limiting block fixed at its bottom end. A rotating sleeve is rotatably provided on the outer wall of the fixed sleeve, and a limiting hole is provided on the rotating sleeve. Multiple sets of limiting holes are provided and are slidably connected to multiple sets of sliding rods respectively. This design forms a reliable limiting and locking mechanism. The sliding sleeve is kept in a fixed position by the cooperation between the sliding rod and the limiting hole, while the setting of the rotating sleeve makes the locking and unlocking operation simple and intuitive, enhancing the operational stability and safety of the device.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that each of the multiple sets of limiting holes has an unlocking hole at one end. The design of the unlocking hole provides a release channel for the slide rod. When the rotating sleeve rotates to a specific position, the limiting block can be released from the limiting state through the unlocking hole, realizing tool-free quick unlocking, simplifying the disassembly operation process and improving work efficiency.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a compression spring is connected inside the insertion rod, and an abutment plate is fixed inside the fixed sleeve. The compression spring and the abutment plate constitute an automatic ejection mechanism. In the locked state, the compression spring is compressed to store energy. After unlocking, the compression spring releases energy to push the abutment plate and drive the fixed sleeve to detach from the insertion rod, thereby achieving active separation and avoiding the trouble and potential risks of manual pulling out.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that all sets of snap-fit ​​pieces are elastic pieces. The elastic piece design gives the snap-fit ​​pieces deformable properties, allowing them to bend and deform temporarily during insertion and then return to their original shape to snap into the slot. This elastic connection not only ensures a firm fixing effect, but also facilitates deformation and disengagement from the slot for quick disassembly, thus extending the service life of the components.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the top ends of the multiple sets of push plates are all arc-shaped. The arc-shaped design reduces the frictional resistance when the push plate contacts the snap-fit ​​piece, allowing the push plate to smoothly push the snap-fit ​​piece to deform, reducing the required operating force, reducing component wear, and avoiding the risk of snap-fit ​​piece damage that may be caused by sharp angles, thereby improving the durability of the entire mechanism.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a push spring is fixedly provided on the top surface of the rotating sleeve, and a thrust bearing is connected between the top end of the push spring and the bottom surface of the sliding sleeve. The push spring provides a continuous upward thrust so that the sliding sleeve can automatically rise after unlocking. The setting of the thrust bearing allows the rotating sleeve and the sliding sleeve to rotate and move axially at the same time, reducing frictional interference between the two parts, ensuring smooth unlocking action, and improving the operating experience.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the outer side of the placement plate is provided with insertion holes, and the insertion holes are provided in multiple sets and are respectively inserted into multiple sets of insertion rods. The design of multiple sets of insertion holes ensures that the placement plate can be accurately positioned on the fixed plate, avoiding displacement or shaking of the placement plate during the drying process. At the same time, the multi-point cooperation between the insertion holes and the insertion rods enhances the structural stability and improves the load-bearing capacity, enabling the device to safely and efficiently complete the batch processing of sea cucumbers.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a microwave drying device for processing dried sea cucumber, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The microwave drying device for dried sea cucumber processing provided by this utility model adopts a structural design with multiple sets of fixing plates and placement plates. Through an innovative fixing mechanism, the placement plates are quickly installed and fixed in the drying box. The precise matching of the insertion rod and the fixing sleeve, as well as the automatic locking mechanism of the snap-fit ​​piece and the snap-fit ​​slot, allow operators to complete the positioning and fixing of the placement plates without the use of any tools, which greatly simplifies the installation process and saves operating time. Especially in the mass production of multi-layer placement plates, this rapid fixing method significantly improves production efficiency, reduces equipment preparation time, and meets the urgent needs of the seafood processing industry for high-efficiency production.

[0015] 2. The fixing mechanism of this utility model ingeniously integrates multiple precision components, including the sliding structure of the slide groove and the slide sleeve, the positioning system of the guide groove and the push plate, and the locking device of the rotating sleeve and the limiting hole. These components work together to form a safe and reliable fixing and releasing mechanism. In particular, the application of the elastic snap-fit ​​piece makes the fixing more secure and easy to disassemble. At the same time, the compression spring in the insertion rod and the abutment plate in the fixing sleeve constitute an automatic push-out system, and the arc-shaped design of the push plate top ensures the smooth disassembly process. This multi-protection design can maintain a stable working state even in high-temperature environments, effectively avoiding the loosening or deformation problems that may occur in traditional fixing methods.

[0016] 3. The most significant innovation of this utility model lies in its simple and quick disassembly mechanism. Simply rotate the rotating sleeve to move the sliding rod from the limiting hole to the unlocking hole, which will release the limitation block from the sliding sleeve. The push spring will then automatically push the sliding sleeve to deform the push plate and engage the locking piece. At the same time, the compression spring will release the stored energy to push out the fixing sleeve. The entire disassembly process is completed in one go without the need for any external tools, which greatly improves the efficiency of equipment maintenance and cleaning, reduces the risk of operators working in high-temperature environments, and reduces the possibility of equipment damage caused by improper disassembly. It is especially suitable for production scenarios that require frequent replacement of different specifications of placement plates, and perfectly solves the technical bottleneck of traditional drying devices in terms of disassembly.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5A microwave drying device for processing dried sea cucumber includes a drying box 1. A fixing plate 2 is fixedly installed inside the drying box 1. The fixing plate 2 is provided in multiple sets, and each of the fixing plates has a fixing mechanism at its top. The fixing mechanism includes a rod 3 and a fixing sleeve 4. The rod 3 is fixed on the fixing plate 2, and the fixing sleeve 4 is inserted into the top of the rod 3. Each of the multiple fixing plates 2 is provided with a placement plate 5, and the multiple placement plates 5 are respectively inserted into the multiple sets of rods 3. A snap-fit ​​piece 6 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing sleeve 4, and multiple sets of snap-fit ​​pieces 6 are provided. A slot 7 is opened on the outer side of the rod 3. A sliding groove 8 is opened on the outer side of the fixing sleeve 4, and multiple sets of sliding grooves 8 are provided. A sliding sleeve 9 is slidably installed on the outer side of the fixing sleeve 4, and the sliding sleeve 9 slides in the multiple sets of sliding grooves 8. A guide groove 10 is opened on the outer side of the rod 3, and multiple sets of guide grooves 10 are provided. A push plate 11 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the sliding sleeve 9, and multiple sets of push plates 11 slide in the multiple sets of guide grooves 10.

[0027] The bottom surface of the sliding sleeve 9 is fixedly provided with a sliding rod 12. Multiple sets of sliding rods 12 are provided, and each of them is fixedly provided with a limiting block 13 at its bottom end. The outer wall of the fixed sleeve 4 is rotatably provided with a rotating sleeve 14. The rotating sleeve 14 is provided with a limiting hole 15. Multiple sets of limiting holes 15 are provided and are slidably connected to multiple sets of sliding rods 12 respectively. This structure forms a rotation locking mechanism. The sliding rods 12 and the limiting holes 15 form a sliding fit. Under normal conditions, the limiting blocks 13 are constrained by the limiting holes 15 and cannot move upward, thereby fixing the sliding sleeve 9 in a specific position. The limiting state can be changed by rotating the rotating sleeve 14, realizing the conversion between locking and unlocking.

[0028] Each of the multiple sets of limiting holes 15 has an unlocking hole 16 at one end. The unlocking hole 16 is a special extension of the limiting hole 15. When the rotating sleeve 14 is rotated to a specific angle, the limiting block 13 can move upward through the wider unlocking hole 16, thereby releasing the limiting constraint on the sliding sleeve 9. This design simplifies the unlocking operation, which can be completed simply by rotating the rotating sleeve 14.

[0029] A compression spring 17 is connected inside the insertion rod 3, and an abutment plate 18 is fixed inside the fixing sleeve 4. The compression spring 17 is compressed and stores energy in the fixed state. The abutment plate 18 serves as the force transmission interface. When the locking between the fixing sleeve 4 and the insertion rod 3 is released, the compression spring 17 releases energy to push the abutment plate 18, thereby pushing the entire fixing sleeve 4 to automatically detach from the insertion rod 3, achieving active separation.

[0030] All sets of snap-fit ​​pieces 6 are set as elastic pieces. The elastic piece design gives the snap-fit ​​pieces 6 the ability to deform and recover elastically. During the insertion process, the snap-fit ​​pieces 6 are squeezed and deformed. When they reach the position of the slot 7, they automatically recover their shape and snap into it to form a reliable connection. At the same time, they can deform and get out of the slot 7 again when disassembling, realizing the reusable elastic snap-fit ​​function.

[0031] The tops of the multiple push plates 11 are all set to be arc-shaped. The arc-shaped design reduces the frictional resistance and stress concentration when the push plate 11 contacts the snap-fit ​​piece 6, allowing the push plate 11 to slide smoothly and gradually transfer the force to the snap-fit ​​piece 6, causing it to deform evenly without creating sharp stress points, thus improving the durability of the component and the smoothness of operation.

[0032] A push spring 19 is fixedly provided on the top surface of the rotating sleeve 14. A thrust bearing 20 is connected between the top of the push spring 19 and the bottom surface of the sliding sleeve 9. The push spring 19 provides a continuous upward elastic force to the sliding sleeve 9, so that the sliding sleeve 9 can move up automatically after unlocking. The thrust bearing 20 allows the pressure of the push spring 19 to be transmitted without affecting the rotation of the rotating sleeve 14, thus solving the compatibility problem between rotation and axial movement and ensuring that the unlocking process is completed smoothly.

[0033] The outer side of the placement plate 5 is provided with insertion holes 21. Multiple sets of insertion holes 21 are provided and are respectively inserted into multiple sets of insertion rods 3. The insertion holes 21 and the insertion rods 3 form a precise positioning fit to ensure that the placement plate 5 can be accurately placed in the predetermined position. The multi-point insertion design enhances the structural stability and prevents the placement plate 5 from shifting or shaking during the drying process. At the same time, it facilitates the quick installation and disassembly of the placement plate 5.

[0034] In this embodiment, the sea cucumber is placed on the placement plate 5, and then the multiple sets of insertion holes 21 on the placement plate 5 are respectively inserted into the multiple sets of insertion rods 3. Then, the fixing sleeve 4 is inserted into the insertion rod 3. At this time, the multiple sets of sliding rods 12 are in the limiting hole 15, and the multiple sets of limiting blocks 13 are all abutting against the bottom of the rotating sleeve 14 and the sliding sleeve 9 is in a limiting state. The multiple sets of push plates 11 are positioned and inserted into the guide groove 10. The compression spring 17 is squeezed by the abutment plate 18. The multiple sets of locking pieces 6 are pushed to deform by the top of the insertion rod 3. When the top of the multiple sets of locking pieces 6 is in the locking groove 7, the locking pieces 6 are reset and abut against the locking groove 7, completing the locking of the fixing sleeve 4. The bottom end of the fixing sleeve 4 is pressed against the top surface of the placement plate 5 to fix the placement plate 5. Then, the sea cucumber is microwave dried in the drying box 1.

[0035] More specifically, when it is necessary to disassemble the placement plate 5, rotating the rotating sleeve 14 causes multiple sets of sliding rods 12 to slide along the limiting hole 15 into the unlocking hole 16, causing multiple sets of limiting blocks 13 to release from contact with the bottom surface of the rotating sleeve 14, releasing the limiting of the sliding sleeve 9. The push spring 19 pushes the sliding sleeve 9 to slide along the sliding groove 8 and pushes multiple sets of push plates 11 to slide along the guide groove 10. The multiple sets of push plates 11 push the snap-fit ​​piece 6 to deform and disengage from the snap-fit ​​groove 7, releasing the snap-fit ​​between the fixing sleeve 4 and the insertion rod 3. The compression spring 17 resets and pushes the abutment plate 18, causing the fixing sleeve 4 to disengage from the insertion rod 3, releasing the fixing of the placement plate 5.

[0036] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: sea cucumbers are placed on the placement plate 5, and then the multiple sets of insertion holes 21 on the placement plate 5 are respectively inserted into the multiple sets of insertion rods 3. Then, the fixing sleeve 4 is inserted into the insertion rods 3. At this time, the multiple sets of sliding rods 12 are in the limiting holes 15, and the multiple sets of limiting blocks 13 are all abutting against the bottom of the rotating sleeve 14 and the sliding sleeve 9 is in a limiting state. The multiple sets of push plates 11 are positioned and inserted into the guide groove 10. The compression spring 17 is squeezed by the abutment plate 18. The multiple sets of locking pieces 6 are pushed to deform by the top of the insertion rod 3. When the top of the multiple sets of locking pieces 6 is in the locking groove 7, the locking pieces 6 are reset and abut against the locking groove 7, completing the locking of the fixing sleeve 4. The bottom end of the fixing sleeve 4 is pressed against the top surface of the placement plate 5 to fix the placement plate 5. Then, the sea cucumbers are microwave dried in the drying box 1.

[0037] When it is necessary to disassemble the placement plate 5, rotating the rotating sleeve 14 causes multiple sets of sliding rods 12 to slide along the limiting hole 15 into the unlocking hole 16, causing multiple sets of limiting blocks 13 to release from contact with the bottom surface of the rotating sleeve 14, releasing the limiting of the sliding sleeve 9. The sliding sleeve 9 is pushed along the sliding groove 8 by the push spring 19 and pushes multiple sets of push plates 11 to slide along the guide groove 10. The multiple sets of push plates 11 push the snap-fit ​​piece 6 to deform and disengage from the snap-fit ​​groove 7, releasing the snap-fit ​​between the fixing sleeve 4 and the insertion rod 3. The compression spring 17 resets and pushes the abutment plate 18, causing the fixing sleeve 4 to disengage from the insertion rod 3, releasing the fixing of the placement plate 5.
