Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of noodle processing technology, and in particular to a noodle drying box. Background Technology
[0002] Noodles are a simple, convenient, and nutritious food that can be both a staple food and a fast food. Noodles are made by grinding grains or beans into powder, adding water to form a dough, then pressing or rolling it into sheets and cutting or pressing it, or by using techniques such as kneading, pulling, pinching, and squeezing to form strips or small pieces, and finally steaming, boiling, stir-frying, stewing, or frying them.
[0003] To facilitate the preservation of processed noodles, they are usually dried. For example, the utility model disclosed in CN219141325U discloses a high-efficiency noodle drying mechanism, which includes a drying chamber.

A support plate is provided on the lifting mechanism, and a rotating component is provided on the support plate. Multiple drying rods are provided on the rotating component. By setting up the lifting component, the height of the ring on the rotating rod can be controlled, thereby controlling the height of the drying rods. When the staff needs to pick up or put down the noodles, the height of the drying rods can be adjusted to a suitable position for the staff to conveniently pick up or put down the noodles.
[0004] However, the drying mechanism in the above application requires operators to wait for the noodles to finish drying before taking them out, which is not convenient for continuous drying of noodles and thus affects drying efficiency.

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention proposes a noodle drying box, in which a conveying component for conveying noodles is provided at the bottom of the box body 4, the bottom of the box body 4 is open, and a drying component 5 for drying noodles is provided on the box body 4.
[0029] The box 4 is equipped with a preheating element 6 for preheating the noodles before drying.
[0030] In this invention, the drying component 5 on the box 4, in conjunction with the conveying assembly, facilitates continuous drying of noodles.
[0031] It should be noted that the conveying assembly includes a conveyor frame 1 installed below the box 4. A conveyor belt 2 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the conveyor frame 1. Several equally spaced placement rods 3 are fixedly installed on the conveyor belt 2. When placing noodles, cornstarch can be applied to the placement rods 3 to prevent the noodles from sticking to the placement rods 3.
[0032] Furthermore, the conveyor belt 2 is driven in a conventional manner, namely, a set of conveyor rollers are rotatably installed inside the conveyor frame, the conveyor belt 2 is fitted onto the conveyor rollers, and a conveyor motor is installed on the front side of the conveyor frame 1. The output shaft of the conveyor motor is fixed to one end of the left conveyor roller, so that the started conveyor motor drives the conveyor roller to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 2 to rotate and convey the noodles placed on the placement rod 3.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, the drying component 5 includes a blower 51 fixedly installed above the housing 4. A connecting frame 54 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the housing 4. A set of air guide frames 510 is fixedly connected below the connecting frame 54. The air outlet of the blower 51 is connected to two ventilation pipes 52. The air outlet of the blower 51 is connected to the two ventilation pipes 52 through a three-way interface and extends through and to the ventilation pipes 52 inside the connecting frame 54. The air outlets of the two ventilation pipes 52 are respectively located above a set of air guide frames 510. Several heating pipes 55 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting frame 54 and located between the air guide frames 510 and the air outlets of the ventilation pipes 52. The lower end of the air guide frame 510 is annular, and a support cylinder 56 is rotatably connected to the annulus of each air guide frame 510. Several exhaust rods 58 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of each support cylinder 56.
[0034] In this embodiment, when the noodles are conveyed into the box 4 by the conveying component, the support cylinder 56 driven by the drive component drives the exhaust rod 58 to rotate, which can convey hot air to the noodles and continuously and evenly dry the noodles to improve the drying efficiency. At the same time, by adjusting the heating temperature in a set of air guide frames 510, the conveyed noodles are gradually heated and dried, reducing the possibility of cracking due to excessive heating, thereby improving the drying effect.
[0035] It should be noted that the upper end of the support cylinder 56 is open and the lower end is closed, so that the air guide frame 510 can guide hot air into its interior. The exhaust rod 58 is a hollow rod, and its hollow part is connected to the support cylinder 56. Each exhaust rod 58 has several equidistantly distributed air outlets on the side away from the air guide frame 510, and the air outlets are connected to the hollow part of the exhaust rod 58, so that the hot air guided by the air guide frame 510 can be guided through the support cylinder 56 into the exhaust rod 58, and then discharged through the air outlets on the exhaust rod 58.
[0036] The air guide frame 510 is conical, and a limiting ring 59 is fixedly connected to the connection between the support cylinder 56 and the air guide frame 510. An annular groove is provided at the annular part of the air guide frame 510 to allow the limiting ring 59 to rotate. The limiting ring 59 is limited by the annular groove, so that the support cylinder 56 can rotate stably at the annular part of the air guide frame 510.
[0037] In addition, the drive assembly includes a dual-axis motor 53 fixedly connected between a set of air guide frames 510. Each support cylinder 56 and the output shaft of the dual-axis motor 53 are fixedly connected with meshing bevel gears 57, so that after the dual-axis motor 53 is started, it can drive the support cylinder 56 to rotate synchronously through the meshing bevel gears 57 to rotate its output shaft.
[0038] In an optional embodiment, the preheating component 6 includes an exhaust fan 61 fixedly installed above the housing 4. The air inlet of the exhaust fan 61 is connected to a set of suction pipes 62, and the suction pipes 62 are connected to the inner top wall of the housing 4. The air outlet of the exhaust fan 61 is connected to the set of suction pipes 62 through a three-way interface. A preheating cover 64 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 4. An exhaust pipe 63 with one end connected to the preheating cover 64 is connected to the air outlet of the exhaust fan 61. Two drying boxes 65 are slidably connected to the inner top wall of the housing 4 and penetrate through the other side of the housing 4.
[0039] In this embodiment, the hot air inside the box 4 is drawn out by the activated exhaust fan 61 and the suction pipe 62, dried by the drying box 65 and transported to the preheating hood 64. This preheats the noodles, further reducing the possibility of cracking due to excessive heating, thereby improving the drying effect.
[0040] It should be noted that the inner bottom wall of the drying box 65 has several ventilation holes, which allow the air inside the box 4 to be guided through the inner bottom wall of the drying box 65. Both sides of the box 4 have material passage holes, and one side of the material passage hole is connected to the preheating cover 64, so that the placement rod 3 on the conveyor belt 2 can enter the box 4. A set of drying boxes 65 is located directly below the air inlet of a set of suction pipes 62, so that when the suction pipes 62 draw hot air from the box 4, it can be dried by the drying boxes 65. The other side of the box 4 has a rectangular hole for the drying boxes 65 to be pulled out. The drying boxes 65 contain desiccant, which makes it convenient for the operator to pull out the drying boxes 65 to replace the desiccant inside the drying boxes 65.
[0041] The inner wall of the box 4 is fixedly installed with a rectangular plate to support the drying box 65 located at one end of the inner side of the box 4, so as to increase the stability of the drying box 65 when it is pushed into the box 4.
[0042] The front of the housing 4 is equipped with a controller, which is electrically connected to the blower 51, the heating tube 55, the dual-shaft motor 53 and the exhaust fan 61, respectively, so that the controller can control the opening and closing of the blower 51, the heating tube 55, the dual-shaft motor 53 and the exhaust fan 61, as well as the heating temperature of the heating tube 55.
[0043] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which is common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical structures, the control method and circuit connection and other technical means will not be described in detail here.
[0044] The working principle in the above embodiments is as follows:
[0045] By hanging the noodles to be dried onto the placement rod 3, the conveyor belt 2 transports the placement rod 3 containing the noodles into the box 4. Then, the blower 51, exhaust fan 61, and heating tube 55 are started respectively. The air blown by the blower 51 is sent into the connecting frame 54 through the ventilation pipe 52. After being heated by the heating tube 55, it is guided into the support cylinder 56 through the air guide frame 510 and then discharged through the air outlet on the exhaust pipe 58. The started dual-shaft motor 53 drives the support cylinder 56 to rotate through the bevel gear 57. Hot air is then blown evenly onto the noodles on the placement rod 3 while the exhaust pipe 58 is rotating. By adjusting the temperature of the heating tube 55 in the two air guide frames 510, the temperature of the hot air discharged from the two air guide frames 510 is lower on the right and higher on the left, so that the noodles are gradually heated and dried.
[0046] The activated exhaust fan 61 draws hot air from the chamber 4 through the suction pipe 62. After the hot air is dried by the drying box 65, it is blown into the preheating hood 64 through the exhaust pipe 63 to preheat the noodles entering the chamber 4, so that the noodles entering the chamber 4 can be gradually heated and dried, thereby improving the drying effect of the noodles.
[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
