Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of condiment production equipment, and in particular to a low-temperature vacuum drying equipment for condiments. Background Technology

[0002] Seasonings are commonly used materials in the food processing industry. During the production process, seasonings may require drying of finished or semi-finished products. To prevent a decline in the performance of seasonings, low-temperature drying is typically used. Low-temperature drying refers to drying seasonings at temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius to ensure that their performance is not compromised.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, when vacuum drying seasonings, the seasonings are directly placed in the vacuum drying box for drying. During the drying process, the seasonings remain stationary in the vacuum drying box, and the seasonings are dried in a static manner, resulting in low drying efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, existing vacuum drying devices for condiments suffer from the technical problem of low drying efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0009] and a drive assembly, the drive assembly being used to drive the tray to rotate within the vacuum drying chamber and to cause one side of the tray to swing up and down relative to a horizontal plane within the drying chamber;

[0010] The drive assembly includes a motor, and the tray is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the motor via a connector. The drive assembly also includes a drive ring that drives the tray to swing up and down relative to a horizontal plane. The side wall of the drive ring is provided with a drive groove, and a connecting rod is provided between the drive groove and the tray. The lower end of the connecting rod is provided with a drive block that cooperates with the drive groove, and the upper end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the tray. The rotation axis of the connecting rod relative to the tray is parallel to the rotation axis of the tray relative to the motor. During the rotation of the tray relative to the drive ring, the drive groove drives the tray to swing up and down relative to the horizontal plane through the drive groove, the drive block, and the connecting rod.

[0011] Preferably, the connector includes a base mounted on the output shaft, and the connector also includes an upper seat mounted on the tray. The base is provided with a connecting groove that is larger than a hemisphere, and the upper seat is provided with a connecting ball that mates with the connecting groove.

Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase “comprising one…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a low-temperature vacuum drying equipment for condiments includes a vacuum drying chamber 1;

[0040] Tray 2, which is placed inside the vacuum drying oven 1, is used to hold seasonings;

[0041] and drive assembly 3, the drive assembly 3 being used to drive the tray 2 to rotate inside the vacuum drying chamber 1 and to cause one side of the tray 2 to swing up and down relative to the horizontal plane inside the drying chamber;

[0042] The drive assembly 3 includes a motor 31, and the tray 2 is rotatably connected to the output shaft 311 of the motor 31 via a connector 34. The drive assembly 3 also includes a drive ring 32 that drives the tray 2 to swing up and down relative to a horizontal plane. The side wall of the drive ring 32 is provided with a drive groove 321, and a connecting rod 33 is provided between the drive groove 321 and the tray 2. The lower end of the connecting rod 33 is provided with a drive block 331 that cooperates with the drive groove 321, and the upper end of the connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the tray 2.

[0049] In some embodiments, the upper end of the connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the tray 2 via a pin 332, the axis of the pin 332 being parallel to the axis of the arc-shaped groove.

[0050] Understandably, the tray 2 can also be directly connected to the output shaft 311 of the motor 31 via a rotating shaft.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the tray is provided with a connecting plate 21, there are two connecting plates 21, a part of the connecting rod 33 is located between the two connecting plates 21, and both the connecting plate 21 and the connecting rod 33 are provided with pin holes that cooperate with the pin shaft 332.

[0052] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 21 and the tray 2 are integrally formed. A retaining ring 22 is provided around the tray 2 to prevent the condiments inside the tray 2 from spilling out. The retaining ring 22 and the tray 2 are integrally formed. The tray 2 is also provided with an annular protrusion 23 to prevent the condiments from sliding along the tray 2. The annular protrusion 23 is provided on the upper surface of the tray 2.
