[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.
[0021] Reference Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a leaf dehydrator for lotus leaves, including a dehydration device body 1, a material rack 2 slidably connected inside the dehydration device body 1, adjustment grooves 3 on both sides of the dehydration device body 1, adjustment blocks 4 slidably connected inside the adjustment grooves 3, a through groove 5 at the top of the adjustment groove 3, and an insert block 6 fixedly connected to the top of the adjustment block 4. Straight grooves 7 on both sides of the bottom of the material rack 2, and several slots 8 on one side inside the straight grooves 7. By pushing the adjustment block 4 into the adjustment groove 3, the operator moves the insert block 6 while moving the adjustment block 4, and releases the limit between the insert block 6 and the slot 8. At the same time, the limit of the material rack 2 is also released. The operator can then pull the material rack 2 out from inside the dehydration device body 1, thus facilitating the storage and retrieval of materials.
[0022] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment: the size of the insert 6 is adapted to the size of the slot 8, and the surface of the insert 6 is inserted into the interior of the slot 8. By adapting the size of the insert 6 to the size of the slot 8, the insert 6 can be stably inserted into the interior of the slot 8, effectively limiting the material rack 2, preventing the material rack 2 from shaking during use, and improving the overall stability.
[0023] Reference Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: both ends of the adjusting groove 3 are provided with sliding grooves 9, and both ends of the adjusting block 4 are fixedly connected with sliders 10. The surface of the sliders 10 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 9. When the operator moves the adjusting block 4, the adjusting block 4 drives the sliders 10 to slide inside the sliding groove 9. With the above setting, it is not only convenient for the operator to move the adjusting block 4, but also the movement position of the adjusting block 4 can be limited to prevent the adjusting block 4 from deviating during movement, which further improves the overall stability.
[0024] Reference Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: A storage spring 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the adjusting block 4 near the inside of the adjusting groove 3, and the side of the storage spring 11 away from the adjusting block 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the adjusting groove 3. When the operator moves the adjusting block 4 into the adjusting groove 3, the adjusting block 4 compresses the storage spring 11 to store force, and drives the insert 6 to release the limit between it and the guide groove 12. After the operator adjusts the appropriate position of the material rack 2, he aligns the insert 6 with the guide groove 12 and releases the adjusting block 4. At the same time, under the action of the rebound force of the storage spring 11, the insert 6 is quickly inserted into the slot 8 to limit the position of the material rack 2.
[0025] Reference Figure 2As shown in this embodiment: guide grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the interior of the dewatering device body 1, and guide blocks 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the material rack 2. The surface of the guide block 13 is slidably connected to the interior of the guide groove 12. When the operator moves the material rack 2 inside the dewatering device body 1, the material rack 2 drives the guide block 13 to slide inside the guide groove 12. Through the above setting, it is not only convenient for the operator to adjust the position of the material rack 2 inside the dewatering device body 1, but also to limit the movement trajectory of the material rack 2, preventing the material rack 2 from getting stuck or detaching from the dewatering device body 1 during the movement, and further ensuring the smoothness and stability of the overall operation.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: both sides of the rear end of the dehydration device body 1 are fixedly connected to shrink columns 14. The rear end of the shrink column 14 is fixedly connected to a return spring 15. The front end of the return spring 15 is fixedly connected to a push rod 16. When the worker pushes the material rack 2 into the dehydration device body 1, the baffle at the bottom of the material rack 2 pushes the push rod 16 to compress the return spring 15 and store force. When the worker releases the limit of the material rack 2, under the action of the rebound force of the return spring 15, the material rack 2 is quickly pushed to the outside of the dehydration device body 1 so that the worker can quickly take out the lotus leaf tea pieces after dehydration.
[0027] Reference Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: sliding grooves 17 are provided on both sides of the inside of the shrink column 14, and sliding blocks 18 are fixedly connected to both sides of the push rod 16. The surface of the sliding block 18 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 17. When the worker moves the push rod 16 back and forth, the push rod 16 drives the sliding block 18 to slide inside the sliding groove 17. Through the above settings, not only is the push rod 16 more stable during movement, but the friction during movement is also reduced, thereby improving the overall work efficiency.
[0028] Working principle: By pushing the adjusting block 4 into the adjusting groove 3, the operator moves the insert block 6, releasing it from its limiting position with the slot 8. Simultaneously, the limiting position of the material rack 2 is also released, allowing the operator to pull the material rack 2 out of the dewatering device body 1 for easy material storage and retrieval. The size of the insert block 6 is matched to the size of the slot 8, ensuring stable insertion and effectively limiting the material rack 2, preventing wobbling during use and improving overall stability. When the adjusting block 4 moves, it drives the slider 10 to slide inside the slide groove 9. This design not only facilitates the movement of the adjusting block 4 by the operator but also limits its position, preventing deviation and further improving overall stability. When the operator moves the adjusting block 4 into the adjusting groove 3, the adjusting block 4 compresses the storage spring 11, storing energy and causing the insert block 6 to release its position from the guide groove 12. After adjusting the material rack 2 to the appropriate position, the operator aligns the insert block 6 with the guide groove 12 and releases the adjusting block 4. Under the rebound force of the storage spring 11, the insert block 6 is quickly inserted into the slot 8, limiting the position of the material rack 2. When the operator moves the material rack 2 inside the dewatering device body 1, the material rack 2 drives the guide block 13 to slide inside the guide groove 12. Through the above settings, it is not only convenient for the operator to adjust the position of the material rack 2 inside the dewatering device body 1, but also the movement trajectory of the material rack 2 can be limited to prevent the material rack 2 from getting stuck or detaching from the dewatering device body 1 during movement, further ensuring the smoothness and stability of the overall operation. When the material rack 2 is pushed internally, the baffle at the bottom of the material rack 2 pushes the push rod 16 to compress the return spring 15 and store energy. When the worker releases the limit of the material rack 2, under the action of the return spring 15, the material rack 2 is quickly pushed to the outside of the dehydration device body 1 so that the worker can quickly take out the lotus leaf tea leaves after dehydration. When the worker moves the push rod 16 back and forth, the push rod 16 drives the sliding block 18 to slide inside the sliding groove 17. Through the above settings, not only is the push rod 16 more stable during movement, but the friction during movement is also reduced, and the overall work efficiency is improved.
