Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of onion powder production technology, and more specifically, it relates to an onion powder anti-caking storage tank. Background Technology
[0002] After production, onion powder is mostly stored in vacuum tanks to maintain its quality, extend its shelf life, and prevent it from clumping due to moisture. Vacuum tanks create a vacuum environment by extracting air from the tank, reducing the entry of moisture and the oxidation of onion powder by oxygen. This better preserves the quality and flavor of onion powder and extends its shelf life. Existing anti-caking storage tanks for onion powder generally consist of a tank body, a sealing cap, a vacuum extraction device, and a venting valve.
[0003] The existing application number is CN202320066052.3. This utility model relates to the field of storage tanks, specifically a vacuum storage tank, including a base, a rotating support, a rotating shaft, a shell, a cover, a rotating handle, a hopper, a discharge pipe, a control valve, an inner liner, and a pressure relief valve. The rotating support is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft on its side; the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the outer end face of the shell; the bottom side of the hopper is connected to the discharge pipe; and the top of the discharge pipe is connected to the control valve. This utility model can effectively improve the temperature stability of the raw material inside the device. The vacuum jacket can reduce heat loss inside the device. The vacuum port at the top and the pressure relief valve on the side can effectively control the vacuum negative pressure inside the jacket. The combination of the rotating shaft and the rotating handle can effectively improve the swing stability of the device, thereby preventing the raw material from stratifying when it is stationary for a long time. The conical hopper at the bottom can effectively improve the discharge efficiency of the device.
[0004] Based on the above, desiccants are usually placed inside onion powder storage containers to absorb moisture and maintain a dry environment. However, during the transportation or relocation of the containers, the desiccants may change position, causing multiple desiccants to clump together and become unevenly distributed inside the container. As a result, the desiccants cannot continuously and effectively absorb moisture inside the container, making it difficult to maintain the dry environment required for onion powder, thus affecting its quality and storage effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an anti-caking storage container for onion powder. This solves the problem that existing onion powder storage containers typically contain desiccants to absorb moisture and maintain a dry environment. However, during transport or relocation, the desiccants may shift positions, causing multiple desiccants to clump together and become unevenly distributed within the container. Consequently, the desiccants cannot continuously and effectively absorb moisture, making it difficult to maintain the necessary dry environment for the onion powder, thus affecting its quality and storage performance.
[0006] The purpose and effect of this utility model's onion powder anti-caking storage container are achieved through the following specific technical means: A storage container for preventing onion powder from caking includes a container body, a sealing cap, an exhaust valve, a fixing frame, fixing slots, storage columns, fixing boxes, desiccant storage components, and a disassembly and replacement assembly. The sealing cap is fixedly connected to the top of the container body. The exhaust valve is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cap. The fixing frame is fixedly connected to the top of the container body. Multiple fixing slots are provided, and the multiple fixing slots are distributed inside the fixing frame. Multiple storage columns are provided, and the multiple storage columns are respectively inserted into the multiple fixing slots. Multiple fixing boxes are provided, and the multiple fixing boxes are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the multiple storage columns. Multiple sets of desiccant storage components are provided, and the multiple sets of desiccant storage components are respectively located on the top of the multiple storage columns. Multiple sets of disassembly and replacement assemblies are provided, and the multiple sets of disassembly and replacement assemblies are respectively located inside the multiple storage columns.
[0007] Furthermore, the desiccant storage assembly includes: a placement slot and a vent hole; multiple placement slots are provided, and the multiple placement slots are distributed inside the storage column; multiple vent holes are provided, and the multiple vent holes are distributed inside the storage column.
[0008] Furthermore, the desiccant storage assembly also includes a sliding plate and a positioning post; the sliding plate is slidably connected inside the fixed box; and the positioning post is fixedly connected to the right side of the sliding plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the desiccant storage assembly also includes: a positioning block and a positioning groove; the positioning block is fixedly connected to the mounting frame; the positioning groove is formed inside the positioning block, and a positioning post is inserted into the positioning groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the desiccant storage assembly also includes a reset spring and a sealing plate; the right end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the left side of the sliding plate, and the left end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing box; the sealing plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the sliding plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the disassembly and replacement component includes a threaded groove and a cover plate; the threaded groove is formed inside the storage column; the cover plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the threaded groove by bolts.
[0012] Furthermore, the disassembly and replacement assembly also includes: a connecting groove and a connecting post; the connecting groove is formed at the bottom of the storage post; the connecting post is fixedly connected to the right side of the cover plate, and the connecting post is inserted into the connecting groove.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: First, the columnar desiccant is placed in the slot, and combined with the desiccant storage component, the storage column is firmly inserted into the fixed slot, ensuring that the desiccant will not shift when the can is transported or moved. This allows the desiccant to be evenly distributed in the can for a long time, continuously and effectively absorbing moisture, maintaining a stable dry environment for the onion powder, preventing it from becoming damp and clumping, and ensuring storage quality.
[0014] Secondly, the desiccant that has become ineffective after prolonged use can be replaced simply by removing the cover. The positioning design of the connecting column and connecting groove ensures the structural stability after replacement, ensuring that the desiccant continues to perform its moisture-absorbing function, further guaranteeing the durability of the drying effect and extending the effective storage time of the onion powder.
[0015] This invention, through its design of fixing the position of the desiccant and facilitating easy replacement, ensures that the desiccant absorbs moisture evenly and stably to prevent onion powder from clumping, and also guarantees the durability of the drying effect. This not only improves the stability and quality control of onion powder storage, but also plays an important role in reducing transportation and storage losses, providing a practical solution for refined storage in the food processing field.
