Automatic drying equipment for laver

Abstract

This utility model discloses an automatic drying and dehydration device for seaweed, relating to the field of seaweed dehydration technology. It includes a rotating shaft, which is rotatably mounted to the rear end of a drying chamber via bearings. A limiting plate is installed on the outside of the rotating shaft and welded to it. The device allows the rotating shaft to rotate by installing a drying basket, causing the seaweed inside the basket to rapidly dehydrate under centrifugal force, thus improving the drying efficiency. When the drying basket centrifuges the seaweed, the seaweed adheres tightly to the inner wall of the basket under centrifugal force. Because the drying basket has a mesh structure with many gaps, the seaweed adheres to the inner wall. Combined with the centrifugal force acting on the seaweed, this effectively overcomes the strong hot air blown by the hot air dryer, preventing the seaweed from flying around and breaking, thus allowing the seaweed to be dried at the highest speed.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laver dehydration technology, specifically to an automatic laver roasting and dehydration device. Background Technology

[0002] Porphyra is a general term for plants of the genus Porphyra in the family Rhodophyceae. Porphyra is a global species, distributed from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere, and from cold to tropical regions. They can grow on beaches in both northern and southern China, although the species vary from place to place. Porphyra is a eurythermal seaweed that can grow and reproduce in a variety of environments. It prefers to grow on rocky reefs in the high tide zone where there are large waves, strong sunlight, good tidal flow, and relatively fertile water. They are also very tolerant of low tides and have a strong regenerative ability. Porphyra is rich in many nutrients, and its content of riboflavin, protein, sugar, phosphorus, and thiamine is much higher than that of spinach. Its leaves are edible and can be made into vegetable cakes, roasted seaweed, loose seaweed, and dried vegetable cakes. They can be eaten roasted, stir-fried, or used in soups. When used medicinally, seaweed is sweet, salty, and cold in nature; it can resolve phlegm, soften hardened masses, clear heat, and promote urination; it can treat goiter, beriberi, edema, gonorrhea, and other diseases. During the production of seaweed, workers need to dehydrate it. Dehydrated seaweed has a longer shelf life and is easier to transport.

[0003] However, existing laver dehydration equipment typically uses hot air to bake and dehydrate the laver. Because laver has a low moisture content and is lightweight, while high-powered hot air drying is efficient, it can easily blow the laver away, causing it to collide with the drying mesh inside the equipment and break, affecting its quality. Conversely, using low-powered hot air results in low drying efficiency, impacting production efficiency. Therefore, this method does not meet current needs. To address this, we propose an automatic laver baking and dehydration device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic seaweed drying and dehydration device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art. When dehydrating seaweed, hot air devices are usually used to dry the seaweed. Since seaweed with low moisture content is light, although the drying efficiency is fast when using high-power hot air drying, the high-power hot air can easily blow the seaweed away. The flying seaweed is prone to colliding with the drying mesh inside the seaweed dehydration device, resulting in seaweed breakage and affecting the quality of the seaweed. On the other hand, when using low-power hot air drying, the seaweed drying efficiency is low, which affects the production efficiency of seaweed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic drying and dehydration device for seaweed, comprising a drying chamber:

[0006] A rotating shaft is rotatably mounted to the rear end of the drying chamber via bearings. A limiting plate is installed on the outside of the rotating shaft and is welded to the rotating shaft. Connecting brackets are installed on the outside of both the limiting plate and the rotating shaft. A rotating component is rotatably mounted inside the front end of the connecting bracket via a connecting pin. A drying basket is installed on the front end face of the rotating component.

[0007] A shielding mesh is installed on the front end of the drying basket by screws. A limiting roller is installed on the outside of the drying basket. The limiting roller is fixedly connected to the drying box. The connecting bracket is slidably connected to the limiting plate and the rotating shaft through a slot.

[0008] Preferably, a hot air dryer is installed at the upper end of the drying box, the hot air dryer is fixedly connected to the drying box, and a hot air output pipe is fixedly installed at the output end of the hot air dryer, with one end of the hot air output pipe extending into the interior of the drying box.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing door is installed on the front end of the drying oven, the sealing door is connected to the drying oven by a hinge, and a transparent observation window is installed on the front end of the sealing door, the transparent observation window is fixedly connected to the sealing door.

[0010] Preferably, a convenient handle is installed on the front end face of the shielding mesh, and the shielding mesh is welded to the convenient handle.

[0011] Preferably, a drain pipe is installed at the lower end of the drying box, and the drain pipe is welded to the drying box.

[0012] Preferably, a drive motor is fixedly installed on the rear end face of the drying oven, and the drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft via a coupling.

[0013] Preferably, a moisture discharge pipe is installed at the rear end of the upper surface of the drying box, the moisture discharge pipe is welded to the drying box, and a support leg is fixedly installed at the lower end of the drying box.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model uses a drying basket to rotate the rotating shaft, which causes the seaweed inside the basket to dehydrate rapidly under centrifugal force, thus improving the drying efficiency of the device. When the drying basket centrifuges the seaweed, the seaweed will stick tightly to the inner wall of the drying basket under the action of centrifugal force. Since the drying basket has a mesh structure on the inner wall with many gaps, the seaweed will adhere to the inner wall of the drying basket. In addition, the centrifugal force on the seaweed is sufficient to overcome the strong hot air blown by the hot air dryer, so that the seaweed will not fly away under the strong hot air drying, avoid the seaweed breakage, and allow the seaweed to be dried at the highest speed.

[0016] 2. This utility model, by installing a connecting bracket, a limiting plate, and a rotating component, makes it easy for workers to pull the drying basket out of the device, facilitating loading and unloading of materials inside the drying basket. This makes the device more convenient to use and helps improve the efficiency of seaweed production. The installation of a transparent observation window allows workers to observe the drying process of the seaweed inside the device in real time, making it easier for them to control the drying status and making the device more user-friendly.

[0024] The rotating shaft 9 is rotatably mounted to the rear end of the drying chamber 1 via bearings. A limiting plate 11 is installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 9 and is welded to the rotating shaft 9. Both the limiting plate 11 and the rotating shaft 9 are equipped with connecting brackets 10. The installation of connecting brackets 10, limiting plate 11 and rotating parts 12 makes it easy for workers to pull the drying basket 14 out of the device, making it easier for workers to load and unload materials inside the drying basket 14, making the device more convenient to use and improving the efficiency of seaweed production. The rotating part 12 is rotatably mounted inside the front end of the connecting bracket 10 via connecting pins 13, and the drying basket 14 is mounted on the front end face of the rotating part 12.

[0025] The shielding mesh 15 is installed on the front end of the drying basket 14 by screws. Installing the drying basket 14 allows the rotating shaft 9 to drive it to rotate, so that the seaweed inside the drying basket 14 is quickly dehydrated under the action of centrifugal force, improving the drying efficiency of the device for seaweed. When the drying basket 14 is centrifuged, the seaweed will stick tightly to the inner wall of the drying basket 14 under the action of centrifugal force. Since the drying basket 14 has a mesh structure on the inner wall with many gaps, the seaweed will stick to the inner wall of the drying basket 14. In addition, the centrifugal force on the seaweed is sufficient to overcome the strong hot air blown by the hot air dryer 4 onto the seaweed, so that the seaweed will not fly away under the strong hot air drying, avoiding the seaweed breakage, and allowing the seaweed to be dried at the highest speed. The drying basket 14 is equipped with a limiting roller 17 on the outside. The limiting roller 17 is fixedly connected to the drying box 1. The connecting bracket 10 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 11 and the rotating shaft 9 through the slot.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A hot air dryer 4 is installed at the top of the drying chamber 1, and is fixedly connected to the drying chamber 1. A hot air output pipe 5 is fixedly installed at the output end of the hot air dryer 4, and one end of the hot air output pipe 5 extends into the interior of the drying chamber 1. A sealing door 2 is installed on the front face of the drying chamber 1, and is connected to the drying chamber 1 by a hinge. A transparent observation window 3 is installed at the front end of the sealing door 2. The installation of the transparent observation window 3 allows the staff to observe the drying status of the seaweed inside the device in real time, making it easier for the staff to control the drying status of the seaweed and making the device more user-friendly. A personalized, transparent observation window 3 is fixedly connected to a sealed door 2. A convenient handle 16 is installed on the front end of a shielding mesh 15. The shielding mesh 15 and the convenient handle 16 are welded together. A drain pipe 18 is installed at the lower end of the drying box 1. The drain pipe 18 is welded together with the drying box 1. A drive motor 8 is fixedly installed on the rear end of the drying box 1. The drive motor 8 and the rotating shaft 9 are connected by a coupling. A moisture discharge pipe 7 is installed at the rear end of the upper end of the drying box 1. The moisture discharge pipe 7 is welded together with the drying box 1. A support leg 6 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the drying box 1.

[0027] Working principle: During use, the operator opens the sealed door 2 and pulls out the drying basket 14 through the convenient handle 16. The operator controls the drying basket 14 to flip upwards, then opens the shielding mesh 15 and places the wet seaweed into the drying basket 14. Next, the shielding mesh 15 is closed, and the operator resets the drying basket 14, moving it back into the device. The sealed door 2 is then closed. The drive motor 8 then drives the rotating shaft 9 to rotate, causing the rotating shaft 9 to drive the connecting bracket 10 to rotate through the limit plate 11, thereby causing the connecting bracket to rotate. The frame 10 drives the drying basket 14 to rotate inside the six limiting rollers 17, causing the laver inside the drying basket 14 to be rapidly dehydrated under centrifugal force, making the laver adhere tightly to the inner wall of the drying basket 14. Then, the hot air dryer 4 fills the device with high-powered hot air through the hot air output pipe 5, causing the laver to dry rapidly under the action of hot air. After the laver is dried, the operator opens the sealing door 2 and pulls out the drying basket 14 through the convenient handle 16. The operator controls the drying basket 14 to flip upwards, then opens the shielding mesh 15 and removes the dried laver from the drying basket. Simply remove it from basket 14. The installation of the connecting bracket 10, limiting plate 11, and rotating component 12 allows workers to easily pull the drying basket 14 out of the device, facilitating loading and unloading inside. This makes the device more convenient to use and improves seaweed production efficiency. Installing the drying basket 14 allows the rotating shaft 9 to rotate it, causing the seaweed inside to be rapidly dehydrated under centrifugal force, thus improving the device's drying efficiency. When the drying basket 14 centrifuges the seaweed, the seaweed will... Under the action of the drying net basket 14, the seaweed adheres tightly to the inner wall of the drying net basket 14. Since the drying net basket 14 has a mesh structure on the inner wall with many gaps, the seaweed will stick to the inner wall of the drying net basket 14. In addition, the centrifugal force on the seaweed is sufficient to overcome the strong hot air blown by the hot air dryer 4 onto the seaweed, so that the seaweed will not fly away under the strong hot air drying, avoiding the seaweed breakage, and allowing the seaweed to be dried at the highest speed. The installation of the transparent observation window 3 allows the staff to observe the drying status of the seaweed inside the device in real time, making it easier for the staff to control the drying status of the seaweed and making the device more user-friendly.
