Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Spice roasting equipment is a type of specialized equipment used to heat-treat natural spices such as Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, cumin, cinnamon, and chili peppers. Its core function is to achieve dehydration, flavor enhancement, sterilization, insect control, and quality stabilization of spices through a controlled high-temperature environment, facilitating subsequent storage, processing, or direct use. It removes excess moisture from spices, as fresh natural spices have a high moisture content and are prone to mold, thus extending their shelf life. Moderate heating also activates the volatile aromatic substances in the spices, enhancing their aroma and flavor.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the split-type plant spice baking oven disclosed in CN216165052U, there is a baking machine body, a threaded rod, and a support plate. The baking machine body contains several baking boxes, each with a slider at both ends. A second sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the baking machine body corresponding to the slider, and the slider is slidably connected to the second sliding groove. A motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, which in turn moves the support frame upwards, facilitating the transport of the baking boxes to different heights. A limiting plate prevents the baking boxes from shaking during transport. Once transported to the appropriate position, the baking boxes are pushed into the baking machine body. The limiting plate restricts the position of the baking boxes, and a first ball facilitates movement of the baking boxes, while a second ball facilitates movement of the baking boxes within the baking machine body.

[0004] Existing baking equipment uses a motor to rotate a threaded rod, which in turn moves a support frame upwards, making it easy to transport the baking oven to different heights. However, it is not convenient to tumble the spices inside during use, resulting in some spices at the bottom not being fully baked, thus reducing the processing effect of the spices. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0006] Given that the existing technology has the problem that it is inconvenient to tumble the spices inside during use, resulting in some spices at the bottom not being fully roasted and reducing the processing effect of the spices.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An automatic tumbling spice roasting device includes a device housing, a feeding component, and a movable door panel. The feeding component is connected to the upper surface of the device housing, and the movable door panel is hinged to the outer wall of the device housing. The device also includes: A drive assembly and a connector are provided, wherein the drive assembly is located at the upper end of the device housing and the connector is located inside the device housing.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the drive assembly includes a transmission tube, the transmission tube is fixed to the power output shaft of the drive assembly, and a helical blade is fixed to the outer wall of the transmission tube.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a protective shell is fitted on the outside of the spiral blade in the vertical direction, and four fixing rods that are welded to the inner wall of the device box are symmetrically fixed on the lower surface of the protective shell.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the connector includes a connecting pipe, the connecting pipe is connected to the outer wall of the connector, and the end of the connecting pipe is connected to a heating element.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: a plurality of heating tubes are installed inside the heating element, and a conveying pipe is connected to one side of the heating element.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the end of the conveying pipe is connected to an air pump, and two fixed bearings sleeved on the transmission pipe are fixed inside the connector.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the outer surface of the transmission tube is provided with a vent hole that communicates with the connector, and the outer wall of the transmission tube is connected to two auxiliary tubes, and the outer surfaces of the two auxiliary tubes are provided with a plurality of air jet holes at equal intervals.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: the input end of the air pump is connected to a filter cylinder, and a filter screen is detachably installed inside the filter cylinder.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model uses a drive assembly to drive the transmission tube to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blades at the lower end to rotate. As the spices at the bottom of the device box are transported upward by the rotation of the spiral blades, the spices are transported to the upper end and scattered in all directions. With the hot air sprayed out by the auxiliary tube, the roasting effect of the spices can be improved. The protective shell outside the spiral blades can play a protective role.

[0016] 2. In this invention, air is heated as it passes through the heating tube and enters the interior of the connector through the connecting tube. The hot air inside the connector can enter the transmission tube through the vent hole, and then enter the two auxiliary tubes respectively. The hot air is then ejected through multiple jet holes on the outer surface of the two auxiliary tubes, thereby roasting the spices. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more readily understood, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0021] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an automatic tumbling spice roasting device, including a device housing 1, a feeding component 2, and a movable door panel 3. The feeding component 2 is connected to the upper surface of the device housing 1, and the movable door panel 3 is hinged to the outer wall of the device housing 1. It also includes: The drive assembly 4 and the connector 5 are located inside the device housing 1.

[0023] Specifically, the drive assembly 4 includes a transmission tube 41, which is fixed to the power output shaft of the drive assembly 4, and a spiral blade 42 is fixed to the outer wall of the transmission tube 41.

[0024] Furthermore, the drive component 4 can be a stepper motor or a servo motor, which can drive the transmission tube 41 to rotate, so that the transmission tube 41 drives the lower spiral blade 42 to rotate. As the spices at the bottom of the device box 1 are conveyed upward under the action of the spiral blade 42 rotation, the spices will fall to the surroundings after being conveyed to the upper end.

[0025] Specifically, a protective shell 43 is fitted on the outside of the spiral blade 42 in the vertical direction, and four fixing rods 44 are symmetrically fixed on the lower surface of the protective shell 43 and welded to the inner wall of the device box 1.

[0026] Furthermore, the fixing rod 44 is fixed to the device housing 1, which can effectively prevent the protective shell 43 from shifting.

[0027] In use, place the device housing 1 in a suitable position. The spices to be roasted can be put into the device housing 1 through the feeding component 2. The drive component 4 can be a stepper motor or a servo motor, which can drive the transmission tube 41 to rotate, so that the transmission tube 41 drives the spiral blade 42 at the lower end to rotate. As the spices at the bottom of the device housing 1 are conveyed upward by the rotation of the spiral blade 42, the spices will scatter in all directions when they are conveyed to the upper end. Under the action of the hot air sprayed by the auxiliary tube 58, the roasting effect of the spices can be improved. The protective shell 43 outside the spiral blade 42 can play a protective role, ensuring that the spices can be conveyed to the upper end normally. The fixed rod 44 is fixed to the device housing 1, which can effectively prevent the protective shell 43 from shifting. The fixed bearing 56 set in the connector 5 ensures that the transmission tube 41 will not drive the connector 5 to rotate when it rotates, thus ensuring the delivery of hot air. After the spices are roasted, the movable door 3 can be opened to collect the spices inside.

[0028] In summary, when the automatic tumbling spice roasting device is in use, the drive component 4 drives the transmission tube 41 to rotate, which in turn drives the lower spiral blade 42 to rotate. As the spices at the bottom of the device box 1 are conveyed upward by the rotation of the spiral blade 42, the spices are conveyed to the upper end and scattered in all directions. Under the action of the hot air sprayed out by the auxiliary tube 58, the roasting effect of the spices can be improved. The protective shell 43 outside the spiral blade 42 can play a protective role.

[0029] Example 2: Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present utility model.

[0030] Specifically, the connector 5 includes a connecting pipe 51, which is connected to the outer wall of the connector 5. The end of the connecting pipe 51 is connected to a heating element 52. Several heating tubes 53 are installed inside the heating element 52. A conveying pipe 54 is connected to one side of the heating element 52.

[0031] Furthermore, the filtered air is delivered to the heating element 52 through the delivery pipe 54, and the air is heated as it passes through the heating pipe 53.

[0032] Specifically, the end of the delivery pipe 54 is connected to an air pump 55, and the inside of the connector 5 is fixed with two fixed bearings 56 sleeved on the transmission pipe 41. The outer surface of the transmission pipe 41 is provided with a vent hole 57 that communicates with the connector 5. The outer wall of the transmission pipe 41 is connected to two auxiliary pipes 58, and the outer surface of the two auxiliary pipes 58 is provided with a number of air jet holes 59 at equal intervals.

[0033] Furthermore, air enters the interior of the connector 5 through the connecting pipe 51, and through the vent 57 opened on the transmission pipe 41, the hot air inside the connector 5 can enter the transmission pipe 41 through the vent 57, and then enter the two auxiliary pipes 58 respectively. The hot air is ejected through the multiple jet holes 59 opened on the outer surface of the two auxiliary pipes 58, thereby roasting the spices, while the air carrying moisture is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe.

[0034] Specifically, the input end of the air pump 55 is connected to a filter cartridge 6, and a filter screen 7 is detachably installed inside the filter cartridge 6.

[0035] Furthermore, external air is drawn in through the filter cartridge 6, and the air is filtered as it passes through the filter screen 7.

[0036] In use, the air pump 55 is activated, drawing in external air through the filter cartridge 6. The air is filtered as it passes through the filter screen 7. The filtered air is then delivered to the heating element 52 through the delivery pipe 54. The air is heated as it passes through the heating pipe 53. The air then enters the connecting member 5 through the connecting pipe 51. Through the vent 57 on the transmission pipe 41, the hot air in the connecting member 5 enters the transmission pipe 41 and then enters the two auxiliary pipes 58. The hot air is then ejected through the multiple jet holes 59 on the outer surface of the two auxiliary pipes 58, thereby roasting the spices. The air carrying moisture is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe, and the transmission pipe 41 is rotated by the drive component 4.

[0037] In summary, when this automatic tumbling spice roasting device is in use, the drive component 4 drives the transmission tube 41 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blades 42 at the lower end to rotate. As the spices at the bottom of the device housing 1 are conveyed upward by the rotation of the spiral blades 42, the spices are conveyed to the upper end and scattered in all directions. Under the action of hot air sprayed from the auxiliary tubes 58, the roasting effect of the spices can be improved. The protective shell 43 outside the spiral blades 42 can play a protective role. The air is heated when it passes through the heating tube 53. The air enters the interior of the connector 5 through the connecting tube 51. The hot air in the connector 5 can enter the transmission tube 41 through the vent 57, and then enter the two auxiliary tubes 58 respectively. Hot air is sprayed out through the multiple air jet holes 59 opened on the outer surface of the two auxiliary tubes 58, thereby roasting the spices.
