Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying rack technology, specifically a sea cucumber drying rack that can be spliced and assembled. Background Technology
[0002] Sea cucumber, a precious seafood, is rich in various nutrients and has extremely high nutritional value and economic benefits. Sun-drying is a crucial step in the processing of sea cucumber, effectively removing moisture from its body, extending its shelf life, and improving its quality and taste.
[0003] Traditional sea cucumber drying racks are typically one-piece structures with fixed sizes and shapes, which presents several inconveniences in practical use. For example, when drying a large quantity of sea cucumbers, a one-piece drying rack may not be sufficient, requiring the purchase of new racks and increasing costs. Conversely, when drying a smaller quantity, the large size of the rack takes up too much space. Furthermore, one-piece drying racks are inconvenient to transport and store; their large size leads to high transportation costs, and they also require considerable storage space.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a sea cucumber drying rack that can be assembled and connected to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a sea cucumber drying rack that can be assembled and connected, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A modular and assembleable sea cucumber drying rack, comprising:
[0008] The base has symmetrically distributed upright plates on its top, and a connecting plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the upright plates. External screws are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the connecting plate. The top of the base has mounting holes corresponding to the position and number of the external screws, and the mounting holes are slidably inserted into the external screws. A wing nut is threaded onto the outer wall of the external screw.
[0009] Several support seats are fixedly installed on both sides of the upright plate, and limit posts are fixedly installed on the top of the support seats. A locking mechanism is provided on the outer surface of the upright plate above the support seats.
[0010] Several drying frames are provided on both sides of the upright plate. Symmetrically distributed limiting holes are provided on one side of the top of the drying frame, and the limiting holes are adapted to the limiting posts. A drying net is provided inside the drying frame.
[0011] Preferably, a rectangular block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate between two external screws, and a rectangular hole corresponding to the position and number of the rectangular block is opened at the top of the base, and the rectangular hole is slidably inserted into the rectangular block.
[0012] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a fixing groove, which is located on the outer surface of the upright plate above the support base. Symmetrically distributed sliding grooves are provided on the inner wall of the fixing groove. A slider is slidably installed on each of the two sliding grooves. A locking block is fixedly installed between the two sliders and is slidably inserted into the fixing groove. A spring is fixedly installed inside the sliding groove on one side of the slider.
[0013] Preferably, a water-guiding cavity is provided inside the drying frame below the drying net.
[0014] Preferably, symmetrically distributed casters are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the base.
[0015] Preferably, the height of the drying frame is adapted to the distance from the top of the support base to the bottom of the locking block.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. This utility model utilizes the combined use of a base, casters, uprights, support base, limiting posts, locking blocks, connecting plates, drying frames, drying nets, limiting holes, external screws, wing nuts, mounting holes, fixing grooves, sliding grooves, springs, and sliders to assemble multiple drying unit bases, uprights, and drying frames. The drying area can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual amount of drying parameters, improving the flexibility of the drying rack. During transportation and storage, the drying units can be disassembled to reduce their volume, lower transportation costs, and minimize storage space requirements.
[0018] 2. This utility model utilizes the combined use of rectangular blocks and rectangular holes. During the assembly process of the upright plate and the base, the rectangular blocks at the bottom of the connecting plate precisely insert into the rectangular holes on the base, significantly enhancing the connection strength between the upright plate and the base. The tight fit between the rectangular blocks and rectangular holes forms a stable mechanical connection structure. When more drying racks are assembled on the upright plate and put into use, it ensures that the upright plate maintains high stability and reliability even under greater weight and external forces, preventing wobbling, tilting, or even collapse due to weak connections, thus guaranteeing the normal operation and safe use of the entire sea cucumber drying rack.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0027] A modular and assembleable sea cucumber drying rack, comprising:
[0028] The base 1 has symmetrically distributed upright plates 3 on its top. A connecting plate 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the upright plates 3. External screws 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the connecting plate 7. The top of the base 1 has mounting holes 15 corresponding to the position and number of the external screws 11. The mounting holes 15 are slidably inserted into the external screws 11. A wing nut 12 is threaded onto the outer wall of the external screws 11.
[0029] Several support seats 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upright plate 3. Limiting posts 5 are fixedly installed on the top of the support seats 4. A locking mechanism is provided on the outer surface of the upright plate 3 above the support seats 4.
[0030] Several drying frames 8 are provided on both sides of the upright plate 3. A symmetrically distributed limiting hole 10 is provided on one side of the top of the drying frame 8, and the limiting hole 10 is adapted to the limiting post 5. A drying net 9 is provided inside the drying frame 8.
[0031] A rectangular block 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 7 between two external screws 11. A rectangular hole 14 corresponding to the position and number of the rectangular block 13 is opened at the top of the base 1. The rectangular hole 14 and the rectangular block 13 are slidably inserted into each other to enhance the connection stability between the connecting plate 7 and the base 1.
[0032] In one embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a fixing groove 17, which is located on the outer surface of the upright plate 3 above the support base 4. The inner wall of the fixing groove 17 is provided with symmetrically distributed sliding grooves 18. A slider 20 is slidably installed on each of the two sliding grooves 18. A locking block 6 is fixedly installed between the two sliders 20 and is slidably inserted into the fixing groove 17. A spring 19 is fixedly installed inside the sliding groove 18 on one side of the slider 20, which can flexibly adjust the position of the locking block 6. The spring 19 is used to quickly install and remove the drying frame 8, which is easy to operate and can be firmly fixed.
[0033] In one preferred embodiment, a water-guiding cavity 16 is provided inside the drying frame 8 below the drying net 9, which can collect the water generated during the drying of sea cucumbers and drain it from the side of the drying frame 8, preventing it from dripping directly onto the sea cucumbers below and affecting the drying effect of the sea cucumbers.
[0034] In one embodiment, symmetrically distributed casters 2 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the base 1, which facilitates the movement and flexible adjustment of the drying rack, making it easy to transport and adapt to different drying sites.
[0035] In one preferred embodiment, the height of the drying frame 8 is adapted to the distance between the top of the support base 4 and the bottom of the locking block 6, so that the drying frame 8 can be tightly locked between the support base 4 and the locking block 6, ensuring the stability and reliability of the assembly and ensuring that the drying work can be carried out normally.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, assemble the drying rack. Precisely insert the outer screw 11 below the connecting plate 7 into the mounting hole 15 at the top of the base 1. Then, firmly tighten the wing nut 12 onto the outer wall of the outer screw 11 from below the base 1. This method allows for quick and stable assembly of the two upright plates 3 at the top of the base 1. Next, based on the specific number of sea cucumbers to be dried, take the corresponding number of drying frames 8. The assembly steps of the drying frames 8 on the upright plates 3 are as follows: Accurately and horizontally clamp the drying frames 8 onto the top limiting post 5 of the support base 4 through the limiting hole 10. During this process, the drying frames 8 will contact the inclined end of the clamping block 6, pushing the clamping block 6 into the fixing groove 17. The movement of the clamping block 6 causes the slider 20 to slide smoothly on the outer wall of the sliding groove 18, while simultaneously exerting a squeezing effect on the spring 19. As the drying frame 8 is snapped into place on top of the support base 4, the locking block 6, under the elastic return action of the spring 19, directly locks into the top edge of the drying frame 8, thus firmly limiting the drying frame 8 to the top of the support base 4. Furthermore, the effective support of the support base 4 ensures that the drying frame 8 can be assembled horizontally and stably on top of the support base 4. Following this method, multiple drying frames 8 can be assembled on both sides of the upright plate 3 for subsequent drying. After assembling the drying frames 8, sea cucumbers can be directly and evenly laid on the drying net 9 inside the drying frames 8 for drying. When drying a small number of sea cucumbers, the drying frames 8 can be assembled alternately and staggered on both sides of the upright plate 3, thus increasing the spacing between the vertical drying frames 8 and allowing for more thorough contact between sunlight and airflow with the sea cucumbers.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
