Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehydrated vegetable processing technology, and in particular to a mesh chain segmented hot air dryer for dehydrated vegetable processing. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of dehydrated vegetable processing, hot air drying is a key process for achieving vegetable dehydration. Its core requirement is to efficiently and evenly remove moisture from vegetables while maintaining their nutritional components and sensory quality. Currently, most hot air dryers on the market adopt an integrated drying chamber design, meaning that vegetables complete the dehydration process in a single drying space.
[0003] The existing overall drying design keeps vegetables in the same drying environment throughout the transportation process. Different vegetables cannot obtain targeted drying conditions, which can easily lead to local over-drying or under-drying, resulting in poor drying effect and inconsistent product quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the technical problems in the existing technology, the existing overall drying design makes vegetables stay in the same drying environment during the transportation process. Different vegetables are difficult to obtain targeted drying conditions, which can easily lead to local over-drying or under-drying, poor drying effect and inconsistent product quality. This utility model provides a mesh chain segmented hot air dryer for dehydrated vegetable processing.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: a segmented hot air dryer with a mesh chain for dehydrated vegetable processing, comprising a machine body, a sealed door hinged to one side of the machine body, a fixed frame fixedly installed inside the machine body, a mesh chain conveyor belt fixedly installed above the fixed frame, a feed inlet fixedly installed on one side of the machine body, multiple partitions fixedly installed inside the machine body, and an extension assembly installed above the machine body to facilitate the extension of the multiple partitions. The extension assembly includes an extension plate slidably connected inside the partition, and the extension plate penetrates the lower surface of the partition. A drying and collection assembly for facilitating the drying and collection of vegetables is installed inside the machine body. The mesh chain conveyor belt enables continuous transport of vegetables, and together with the multiple partitions, forms a segmented drying space, which can precisely process vegetables at different drying stages and improve drying uniformity. The extension plate in the extension assembly is slidably connected inside the partition and penetrates the lower surface of the partition, which can flexibly adjust the sealing state of the partition and provide a guarantee for vegetable transport and space sealing. The drying and collection assembly integrates drying and collection functions, simplifies the equipment structure, and improves processing efficiency.
[0006] Furthermore, a mounting frame is fixedly installed on the top of the machine body, and a motor is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting frame. A connecting rod is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor. The connecting rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting frame. Multiple first bevel gears are fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting rod, and second bevel gears mesh with the surfaces of the multiple first bevel gears. Threaded rods are fixedly installed at the bottom of the multiple second bevel gears. The threaded rods penetrate the upper surfaces of the machine body and the partition and are rotatably connected to the machine body and the partition. The threaded rods also penetrate the top of the extension plate and are threadedly connected to the extension plate. The motor drives the connecting rod to rotate, and through the transmission of the multiple first bevel gears and second bevel gears, the multiple threaded rods rotate simultaneously, thereby driving the extension plate to move up and down, realizing the automatic extension and retraction of the extension plate.
[0007] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixedly installed above each of the multiple extension plates. The limiting plate is slidably connected inside the partition and plays a limiting role in the movement of the extension plates.
[0008] Furthermore, the drying and collecting assembly includes multiple hot air blowers, and multiple electric push rods are fixedly installed on the upper part of the machine body. These electric push rods are respectively positioned on one side of multiple partitions, and their bottoms are fixedly connected to the hot air blowers. The height of the hot air blowers can be flexibly adjusted via the electric push rods. Depending on the type and thickness of the vegetables and the requirements of each drying stage, the distance between the hot air blowers and the vegetables can be precisely adjusted to ensure that the hot air is evenly applied to the vegetable surface, avoiding over- or under-drying in certain areas due to improper distance, thus improving drying quality and flexibility.
[0009] Furthermore, the drying and collecting assembly also includes an inclined plate fixedly installed on one side of the mesh conveyor belt. A collecting frame is placed inside the lower part of the machine body. The collecting frame is located directly below the inclined plate. Vegetables naturally slide down the inclined plate into the collecting frame, eliminating the need for manual collection and reducing labor input.
[0010] Furthermore, the drying and collecting assembly also includes a guide plate fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed frame. A water outlet is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed frame, and the water outlet is set through one side of the machine body. A valve is fixedly installed on the surface of the water outlet. The side of the guide plate closer to the water outlet is lower. After the water generated during vegetable drying drips through the gaps in the mesh conveyor belt onto the guide plate, it can flow along the guide plate to the water outlet under the action of gravity. Opening the valve can discharge the water from the machine body, thus avoiding the accumulation of water in the machine body and affecting the drying effect.
[0011] Furthermore, the front of the machine body has a viewing window, which allows operators to observe the drying status of the vegetables inside the machine, the operation of each component, and the collection volume of the collection box in real time.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This utility model uses an extension plate in the extension component to slide inside the partition and penetrate the lower surface of the partition. This allows for flexible adjustment of the partition's sealing state and provides assurance for vegetable transport and space sealing. It solves the problem that existing overall drying designs keep vegetables in the same drying environment during transport, making it difficult for different vegetables to obtain targeted drying conditions. This can easily lead to local over-drying or under-drying, resulting in poor drying effect and inconsistent product quality.
[0014] 2. Furthermore, this utility model integrates drying and collection functions through a drying and collection component, which simplifies the equipment structure and improves processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 The present invention will be further described below.
[0022] In order to solve the problems existing in the background technology, this application proposes the following technical solution: a mesh chain segmented hot air dryer for dehydrated vegetable processing.
[0023] The specific technical solution includes a machine body 1, a sealing door 2 hinged to one side of the machine body 1, a fixed frame 3 fixedly installed inside the machine body 1, a mesh conveyor belt 4 fixedly installed above the fixed frame 3, a feed inlet 5 fixedly installed on one side of the machine body 1, multiple partitions 6 fixedly installed inside the machine body 1, and an extension assembly 7 installed above the machine body 1 to facilitate the extension of the multiple partitions 6. The extension assembly 7 includes an extension plate 701 slidably connected inside the partition 6 and extending through the lower surface of the partition 6. A drying and collecting assembly 8 is installed inside the machine body 1 to facilitate the drying and collection of vegetables. The mesh conveyor belt 4 enables continuous transport of vegetables, forming a segmented drying space with the multiple partitions 6, which can precisely process vegetables at different drying stages and improve drying uniformity. The extension plate 701 in the extension assembly 7 is slidably connected inside the partition 6 and extends through the lower surface of the partition 6, which can flexibly adjust the closed state of the partition 6 and provide a guarantee for vegetable transport and space sealing. The drying and collecting assembly 8 integrates drying and collecting functions, simplifies the equipment structure, and improves processing efficiency.
[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, a mounting frame 702 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the machine body 1. A motor 703 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting frame 702. A connecting rod 704 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 703. The connecting rod 704 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting frame 702. Multiple first bevel gears 705 are fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting rod 704. Second bevel gears 706 mesh with the surfaces of the multiple first bevel gears 705. Threaded rods 707 are fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the multiple second bevel gears 706. The threaded rods 707 penetrate the upper surfaces of the machine body 1 and the partition 6 and... The threaded rod 707 is rotatably connected to the body 1 and the partition 6, and also passes through the top of the extension plate 701 and is threadedly connected to the extension plate 701. Limiting plates 708 are fixedly installed on the top of each of the multiple extension plates 701, and the limiting plates 708 are slidably connected inside the partition 6. The output end of the motor 703 drives the connecting rod 704 to rotate inside the mounting frame 702. Multiple first bevel gears 705 on the surface of the connecting rod 704 rotate accordingly, and second bevel gears 706 meshing with the first bevel gears 705 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the threaded rod 707 at the bottom to rotate. Because the threaded rod 707 passes through the top of the extension plate 701 and is threadedly connected to the extension plate 701, and is rotatably connected to the body 1 and the partition 6, the rotation of the threaded rod 707 causes the extension plate 701 to slide out from inside the partition 6, sealing the space on one side of the partition 6, reducing the heat exchange between this drying section and other areas, and improving the drying effect of this section. The limiting plate 708 above the extension plate 701 slides inside the partition 6 to ensure the stability of the extension plate 701 during movement.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the drying and collecting assembly 8 includes multiple hot air blowers 801. Multiple electric push rods 802 are fixedly installed on the upper part of the machine body 1. The electric push rods 802 are respectively located on one side of multiple partitions 6, and their bottoms are fixedly connected to the multiple hot air blowers 801. The drying and collecting assembly 8 also includes an inclined plate 803 fixedly installed on one side of the mesh conveyor belt 4. A collecting frame 804 is placed on the lower part of the machine body 1, located directly below the inclined plate 803. The drying and collecting assembly 8 also includes a guide plate 805 fixedly installed at the bottom of a fixed frame 3. A water outlet 806 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed frame 3, penetrating one side of the machine body 1. A valve 807 is fixedly installed on the surface of the water outlet 806. The guide plate 805 is lower on the side near the water outlet 806. The front of the machine body 1 is open. Equipped with a viewing window 9, the electric push rod 802 can extend and retract to adjust the height of the hot air blower 801 fixedly connected to it, so that the hot air blower 801 can more accurately blow hot air onto the vegetables on the mesh conveyor belt 4 for drying. During the drying process, some of the moisture generated by the vegetables drips through the gaps in the mesh conveyor belt 4 onto the guide plate 805 at the bottom of the fixed frame 3. Since the side of the guide plate 805 closer to the water outlet 806 is lower, the moisture flows along the guide plate 805 to the water outlet 806. The operator can discharge the moisture from the machine body 1 by opening the valve 807 on the surface of the water outlet 806. After drying in each section, the vegetables that have reached the dehydration requirements are transported to the end by the mesh conveyor belt 4 and fall onto the inclined plate 803 on one side of the mesh conveyor belt 4. They slide down the inclined plate 803 into the collection frame 804 placed below the side of the machine body 1, completing the drying and collection of the vegetables.
[0026] To ensure that those skilled in the art can fully understand the technical solution, this application provides the following overall overview:
[0027] In use, the vegetables to be dried are placed into the feed port 5 on one side of the machine body 1, and the vegetables fall onto the mesh conveyor belt 4 installed above the fixed frame 3. The mesh conveyor belt 4 is started, which moves the vegetables into the machine body 1 and into the segmented drying area divided by multiple partitions 6. The motor 703 on one side of the mounting frame 702 is started. The output end of the motor 703 drives the connecting rod 704 to rotate inside the mounting frame 702. Multiple first bevel gears 705 on the surface of the connecting rod 704 rotate accordingly. The second bevel gear 706 meshing with the first bevel gear 705 rotates synchronously, thereby driving the threaded rod 707 at the bottom to rotate, causing the extension plate 701 to slide out from inside the partition 6, sealing the space on one side of the partition 6. The electric push rod 802 and the hot air blower 801 on one side of the partition 6 are started. The hot air generated by the hot air blower 801 is blown evenly onto the surface of the vegetables to heat and dry them. When the vegetables are conveyed to the next drying section, the sealing operation of the extension plate 701 is repeated. At the same time, the hot air blower 801 of the drying section starts working according to the preset parameters to achieve segmented continuous drying, ensuring that the vegetables are heated evenly and the dehydration effect is consistent. After drying in each section, the vegetables that have reached the dehydration requirements are conveyed to the end by the mesh conveyor belt 4 and fall on the inclined plate 803 on one side of the mesh conveyor belt 4. They slide down the inclined plate 803 into the collection frame 804 placed below the side of the machine body 1, completing the drying and collection of the vegetables. Some of the water generated by the vegetables during the drying process drips through the gaps of the mesh conveyor belt 4 onto the guide plate 805 at the bottom of the fixed frame 3. Since the side of the guide plate 805 near the water outlet 806 is lower, the water flows along the guide plate 805 to the water outlet 806. The operator can drain the water from the machine body 1 by opening the valve 807 on the surface of the water outlet 806. Finally, the sealing door 2 is opened to remove the collection frame 804.
