Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product processing technology, specifically a potato slice drying device. Background Technology

[0002] The production of potato chips is a meticulous and complex process that requires several key steps. First, high-quality potatoes are carefully selected as raw materials. These potatoes typically undergo rigorous screening to ensure they are uniform in size, have smooth skin, and are undamaged. The selected potatoes are then sent to professional washing equipment, where high-pressure water jets and mechanical scrubbing thoroughly remove surface dirt and impurities. The cleaned potatoes are then sent to a peeling machine, where the skin is removed using friction or steam peeling. This step is crucial for ensuring the taste and quality of the potato chips.

[0003] After peeling, the potatoes are sliced ​​into thin slices only 1-2 millimeters thick by a potato slicer. The uniformity of the slices directly affects the taste of the final product.

[0004] In current potato slicing devices, the blade tip easily heats up and warps after prolonged operation. Moreover, blade deformation leads to uneven potato slice thickness. Existing potato slicing devices are difficult to fine-tune the blade. Therefore, we propose a potato slice drying device. Utility Model Content

[0021] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a potato slice drying device, including a support base 1, a first portal frame 2, a support leg 3 and a feeding mechanism 4 are fixedly connected to the surface of the support base 1, a slicing mechanism 5 is provided on the inner side of the first portal frame 2, and a receiving hopper 6 located below the slicing mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support leg 3. The slicing mechanism 5 includes a support ring 7, a first drive sleeve 8, a limiting top plate 9, a second drive sleeve 10, multiple cutters 11, multiple movable blocks 12, and multiple positioning plates 13. The support ring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first portal frame 2. A limiting ring groove 14 is opened on the inner side of the support ring 7. Multiple movable blocks 12 are slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting ring groove 14. The cutters 11 are fixedly connected between the movable blocks 12 and the first drive sleeve 8. The positioning plates 13 are fixedly connected to the side of the movable blocks 12. The second drive sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the limiting top plate 9. Multiple adjusting bolts 15 are rotatably connected to the surface of the limiting top plate 9. Two threaded holes 16 matching the adjusting bolts 15 are opened at both ends of the surface of the positioning plate 13. A locking nut 17 is provided on the surface of the positioning plate 13. The limiting top plate 9 is fixedly installed on the surface of the positioning plate 13 by multiple adjusting bolts 15, and the locking nut 17 is threadedly connected to the adjusting bolts 15.

[0022] By setting up the slicing mechanism 5 and using the limiting ring groove 14 to limit the movable block 12, multiple cutters 11 and multiple movable blocks 12 can rotate stably, thereby effectively preventing the cutter 11 from overheating and warping. By using the adjusting bolt 15 to be threadedly connected to the threaded hole 16 on the surface of the positioning plate 13 and the locking nut 17, the limiting top plate 9 and the cutter 11 can be relatively fixed. By rotating the adjusting bolt 15 and the locking nut 17, the distance between the cutter 11 and the limiting top plate 9 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the fine adjustment of the position of the cutter 11 after deformation.

[0023] There are four cutters 11, four movable blocks 12, and four positioning plates 13. The cutters 11, four movable blocks 12, and four positioning plates 13 are arranged in a circular array around the first drive sleeve 8. By setting four cutters 11, four movable blocks 12, and four positioning plates 13, each time the first drive sleeve 8 rotates once, all four cutters 11 can come into contact with the potatoes discharged by the feeding mechanism 4, thereby improving the slicing efficiency.

By setting the servo motor 18 and the square drive rod 19, the servo motor 18 can drive the square drive rod 19 to rotate. The rotation of the square drive rod 19 can drive the first drive sleeve 8 and the second drive sleeve 10 to rotate.

[0025] The feeding mechanism 4 includes an electric push rod 20, a piston 21, a feeding pipe 22, and an infeed pipe 23. The electric push rod 20 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support base 1, the piston 21 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 20, the feeding pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the surface of the receiving hopper 6, the infeed pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the side of the feeding pipe 22, and the piston 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding pipe 22. By setting the feeding mechanism 4, the washed and peeled potatoes are first put into the infeed pipe 23. The operation of the electric push rod 20 can drive the piston 21 to move upward. The piston 21 pushes the potatoes so that the potatoes can come into contact with the surface of the limiting top plate 9. Then, by rotating the cutter 11, the potatoes can be sliced ​​by the cutter 11.

[0026] The outer surface of the movable block 12 is equidistantly connected to three rollers 24. By setting the rollers 24, the movable block 12 can rotate more smoothly within the limiting ring groove 14.

[0027] Example 2, please refer to Figure 1 and 5 Including Embodiment 1, and based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: a drying conveying mechanism 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support base 1. The drying conveying mechanism 25 includes a power motor 26, two drive rollers 27, a skirted conveyor belt 28, multiple support bars 29, a second gantry frame 30, and multiple hot air blowers 31. The two drive rollers 27 are rotatably connected above the support base 1 through a support plate. The skirted conveyor belt 28 is sleeved on the outer surface of the two drive rollers 27. The power motor 26 is fixedly installed on the side of the support plate and is connected to the drive rollers 27 in a transmission manner. Multiple support bars 29 are fixedly connected to the surface of the skirted conveyor belt 28 at equal intervals. The second gantry frame 30 is fixedly installed on the surface of the support base 1 and passes through the middle of the skirted conveyor belt 28. Multiple hot air blowers 31 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the second gantry frame 30 at equal intervals. Multiple ventilation holes 32 are opened at equal intervals on the surface of the skirted conveyor belt 28.

[0028] By setting up a drying conveyor mechanism 25 and using a power motor 26 to drive the drive roller 27 to rotate, the rotation of the drive roller 27 can drive the skirt conveyor belt 28 to operate. The operation of the skirt conveyor belt 28 can transport potato slices to the next process. The hot air blower 31 blows air upwards, which, together with the ventilation holes 32 for ventilation and the support strips 29 for support, can facilitate air circulation, thereby improving the drying effect of potato slices and providing convenience for subsequent processing of potato slices.

[0029] Multiple ventilation slots 33 are equidistantly provided on the surface of the support strip 29. By setting the ventilation slots 33, hot air can flow between the multiple support strips 29, which is conducive to the rapid drying of potato slices.

[0030] Working principle: When the potato slicing and drying device is in use, the washed and peeled potatoes are first fed into the feed pipe 23. The electric push rod 20 drives the piston 21 to move upward. The piston 21 pushes the potatoes towards the slicing mechanism 5. Then, the servo motor 18 drives the square drive rod 19 to rotate, which in turn rotates the first drive sleeve 8 and the second drive sleeve 10. The rotation of the first drive sleeve 8 drives multiple cutters 11, multiple movable blocks 12, and multiple positioning plates 13 to rotate. The rotation of the second drive sleeve 10 drives the limit top to rotate. The plate 9 rotates synchronously, and the potato slices are sliced ​​by the rotating cutter 11. The potato slices can be collected by the receiving hopper 6, and the slices discharged from the receiving hopper 6 can be collected by the drying conveyor mechanism 25. The drive roller 27 is driven by the power motor 26 to rotate, which causes the skirt conveyor belt 28 to run, so that the potato slices can be transported to the next process. The hot air blower 31 blows air upward, and the ventilation holes 32 allow air to pass through. The support strip 29 provides support, which can facilitate air circulation, thereby improving the drying effect of potato slices and providing convenience for subsequent processing of potato slices.
