Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dried noodle production technology, and in particular to a uniform drying device for dried noodle production. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, dried noodles, as a traditional staple food, play a crucial role in the drying process during production, which is essential for product quality. The drying equipment for dried noodles focuses on using mechanical structures and heat exchange technology to achieve uniform evaporation of moisture during the drying process, avoiding localized over-drying or dampness. This improves the taste and storage performance of dried noodles, meeting the dual demands of efficiency and quality in industrial production.

[0003] Existing noodle drying equipment mainly adopts simple hot air drying technology. The equipment is mostly box-type structure, with heating tubes or heating wires installed inside as heat sources. Hot air is circulated in the box by an axial flow fan. The noodles are suspended on fixed metal rods. Hot air flows from one side of the equipment to the other, contacting the surface of the noodles and carrying away moisture. In addition, some equipment introduces a steam heating system, using steam pipes to dissipate heat and raise the temperature of the drying space. Hot air circulates in the equipment by relying on natural convection to achieve the drying of the noodles.

[0004] However, the hanging height of the existing noodle drying equipment is fixed and cannot be adjusted, making it impossible to flexibly adapt to the length of the noodles. When hanging short noodles, the remaining height of the hanging rod causes the bottom of the noodles to droop freely, which can easily cause them to rub against the inner wall of the equipment or become entangled. When hanging long noodles, the hanging rod is not high enough, so the noodles are forced to be taut and are easily broken by the impact of hot air or vibration during the drying process. Therefore, a uniform drying equipment for noodle production is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a uniform drying device for noodle production, which aims to improve the problems of fixed and non-adjustable hanging height of existing drying equipment, which leads to easy stacking, tangling, and breakage of noodles of different lengths when hanging, as well as low production change efficiency and serious waste of raw materials.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A uniform drying device for noodle production includes a drying chamber, a sealed door rotatably connected inside the drying chamber, a wind box fixedly connected to one side of the drying chamber, a connecting pipe fixedly connected inside the wind box, one end of the connecting pipe fixedly connected to the inside of the drying chamber, and multiple adjustment components provided inside the drying chamber. Each of the aforementioned adjustment components includes a connecting column, the top of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber. An adjustment column is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting column, and a hanging rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjustment column. A fixing ring is fixedly connected to the top of the adjustment column, and fixing clips are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing ring. A transmission block is rotatably connected inside each fixing clip. A recovery component is provided on one side of the transmission block, and a locking column is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission block. Multiple symmetrical locking slots are opened inside the connecting column, and the locking slots engage with the locking columns. A limit component is provided at the bottom of the adjustment column.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The limiting assembly includes a connecting plate and a limiting rod. The top of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the adjusting column, and the limiting rod is slidably connected inside the connecting plate.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: The recovery component includes an elastic column, one end of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the transmission block, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjustment column. A limit plate is fixedly connected to one side of the limit rod, and the limit plate is made of food-grade rubber.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: Both sides of the limiting rod are fixedly connected to support frames, which are slidably connected inside the connecting plate.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: The support frame is internally fixedly connected with symmetrical support shafts, and the connecting plate is internally provided with multiple symmetrical limiting grooves.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: Each of the multiple support shafts is internally slidably connected to a limiting shaft, and a limiting ball is fixedly connected to one side of each limiting shaft.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: The limiting ball engages with the limiting groove, and a spring is provided on one side of the limiting shaft.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting shaft, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support shaft.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, the transmission block is pressed to rotate inside the fixed clamp, thereby driving the locking column to disengage from the locking slot to achieve unlocking. Then, the adjusting column is pulled to slide on the outer wall of the connecting column, thereby achieving the effect of quickly adjusting the height of the hanging rod. This solves the problems of easy stacking, tangling, and breakage when hanging noodles of different lengths are suspended, and improves the efficiency of product changeover and the utilization rate of raw materials.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, by pulling the limiting rod, it slides inside the connecting plate, thereby causing the limiting plate to contact the hanging surface, thus achieving the effect of limiting the hanging surface. This solves the problem of the hanging surface slipping and stacking due to shaking and hot air impact when hanging, and improves the continuity of production and the qualified rate of finished products.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a uniform drying device for noodle production, including a drying chamber 1. A sealing door 2 is rotatably connected inside the drying chamber 1. The sealing door 2 and the drying chamber 1 are rotatably connected by a hinge. A high-temperature resistant sealing strip is provided at the door frame to ensure that a sealed environment is formed inside the drying chamber 1 to prevent heat leakage. A blower 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the drying chamber 1. A connecting pipe 4 is fixedly connected inside the blower 3. One end of the connecting pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the drying chamber 1. Multiple adjustment components are provided inside the drying chamber 1 for convenient adjustment by the user according to the usage situation. Multiple adjustment components include a connecting column 5, the top of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. An adjustment column 6 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting column 5. The two are slidably connected through the cooperation of a dovetail groove and a slider, ensuring that the adjustment column 6 can slide smoothly up and down along the connecting column 5. A hanging rod 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjustment column 6. The hanging rod 13 is welded to the outer wall of the adjustment column 6, and its surface is treated with anti-slip to increase the friction with the hanging surface. A fixing ring 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjustment column 6. Fixing clips 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing ring 7. A transmission block 9 is rotatably connected inside each fixing clip 8. A recovery component is provided on one side to provide a stable reset force for the transmission block 9. Each side of the transmission block 9 is fixedly connected to a locking post 10. The connecting post 5 has multiple symmetrical locking slots 12 inside. The locking post 10 is a cylindrical metal rod fixed on one side of the transmission block 9 and is adapted to the shape of the locking slots 12 inside the connecting post 5. The locking slots 12 are evenly distributed along the height direction of the connecting post 5. The precise locking of the height of the adjusting post 6 is achieved by locking the locking post 10 and the locking slot 12. The locking slot 12 and the locking post 10 are locked together. A limit component is provided at the bottom of the adjusting post 6 to limit the shaking of the hanging surface.

[0020] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The limiting assembly includes a connecting plate 14 and a limiting rod 15. The top of the connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting column 6, and the limiting rod 15 is slidably connected inside the connecting plate 14. The restoring assembly includes an elastic column 11. One end of the elastic column 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the transmission block 9, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting column 6. A limiting plate 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting rod 15 to increase the contact area with the hanging surface and prevent the hanging surface from slipping. The limiting plate 16 is made of food-grade rubber. Support frames 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the limiting rod 15. The vertical part of the support frame 17 is embedded in the groove inside the connecting plate 14 and can slide up and down along the groove. The support frame 17 is slidably connected inside the connecting plate 14, and a support is fixedly connected inside the support frame 17. The upper and lower symmetrical support shafts 18 are connected to the connecting plate 14, which has multiple upper and lower symmetrical limiting grooves 21. Each of the support shafts 18 is slidably connected to a limiting shaft 19. A limiting ball 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting shaft 19. The limiting ball 20 is hemispherical and matches the limiting groove 21 inside the connecting plate 14. The limiting grooves 21 are evenly distributed along the longitudinal direction of the connecting plate 14. The limiting ball 20 is engaged with the limiting groove 21. A spring 22 is provided on one side of the limiting shaft 19. The elastic force of the spring 22 keeps the limiting ball 20 engaged with the limiting groove 21, thereby fixing and adjusting the height of the limiting rod 15. One end of the spring 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting shaft 19, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support shaft 18.

[0021] Working Principle: When using this uniform drying equipment for noodle production, the noodle is first placed on the outer wall of the hanging rod 13 by a worker, and then the sealing door 2 is closed. Hot air is delivered into the drying chamber 1 through the air box 3 and connecting pipe 4. The hot air is forced to circulate by the fan, achieving rapid and uniform drying of the noodles. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the hanging rod 13 according to different noodle lengths, the worker simultaneously presses the transmission block 9, causing the transmission block 9 to rotate inside the fixed clamp 8, thereby squeezing the elastic column 11 and causing the elastic column 11 to deform elastically. At the same time, it drives the locking column 10 to disengage from the slot 12 to unlock. After unlocking, the adjusting column 6 is pulled to slide on the outer wall of the connecting column 5, achieving a rapid height adjustment effect. The locking mechanism is achieved by pushing the locking post 10 back into the slot 12 through the elastic post 11. After the hanging surface is hung, the user can pull the limiting rod 15 to make it slide inside the connecting plate 14, thereby causing the limiting plate 16 to contact the hanging surface. At the same time as the limiting rod 15 moves, it will also cause the support frame 17 to slide inside the connecting plate 14, thereby squeezing the limiting ball 20 and causing the limiting ball 20 to retract into the support shaft 18. The retraction of the limiting ball 20 further squeezes the spring 22, causing the spring 22 to undergo elastic deformation. After being adjusted to the appropriate position, the elastic restoring force of the spring 22 pushes the limiting ball 20 back into the limiting groove 21 to achieve locking, thereby achieving the function of restricting and fixing the hanging surface.

[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
