Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food production technology, and specifically relates to a drying device for food production. Background Technology
[0002] In the production and processing of chili products, drying chilies is crucial for removing excess moisture through natural or assisted drying. This process ensures product quality and smooth production. Firstly, significantly reducing moisture content effectively lowers the water activity of the chilies, inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms. This reduces the risk of spoilage from the source, ensuring product stability during subsequent processing and long-term storage, and preventing problems such as mold and souring. Secondly, moisture evaporation concentrates capsaicin, aromatic compounds, and carotenoids, enhancing the chilies' unique spiciness and rich aroma. This results in products like dried chilies, chili sauce, and chili powder with more prominent and complex flavors.
[0003] However, existing chili drying devices typically cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the actual height of the food to be dried. When the food is tall, it is easy for it to be stacked and obstructed, causing some food to not be able to fully contact the air, resulting in uneven drying, localized under-drying, mold, or over-drying, which affects the quality of the food. At the same time, existing devices cannot retract and fold the multi-layer support frame when not in use, and the overall footprint is fixed and large. It is difficult to stack or store against the wall in warehouses or other storage spaces, which not only occupies a lot of usable space, but also increases the difficulty of storage and organization, and reduces the efficiency of site utilization.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a drying device for food production to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying device for food production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying device for food production, comprising a mobile vehicle body, the mobile vehicle body including a support frame one, a support frame two, and a support frame three. Each of the support frames one, two, and three has a placement groove inside, and a placement frame is placed inside each placement groove. The front and rear ends of the support frame one are respectively provided with limiting grooves. A bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected inside the limiting groove. Both ends of the bidirectional lead screw are threadedly connected to limiting sliders. The limiting sliders on both sides are adapted to the shape of the limiting grooves. The front and rear ends of the support frame two are simultaneously installed with limiting grooves and limiting sliders on the support frame one. One end of each of the upper and lower limiting sliders is rotatably connected to a cross-folding rod. A central shaft rotates in the middle of the cross-folding rod, and the central shaft is fixedly connected to the support frame two.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the mobile vehicle body further includes several synchronous pulleys arranged in a linear array and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the right side of the support frame. The synchronous pulleys are fixedly connected to one end of a bidirectional lead screw, and the synchronous pulleys are connected to each other by a synchronous belt drive.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the side surfaces at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw are provided with threads in opposite directions, and the limiting sliders are respectively threadedly connected to them. The support frame one, support frame two and support frame three are distributed sequentially from bottom to top.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a transmission disc is rotatably connected to the right side of the support frame one. One end of the transmission disc near the support frame one passes through the support frame one and is fixedly connected to a synchronous pulley on one side. A rotating handle is rotatably connected to the other end of the transmission disc away from the center.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, multiple telescopic rods are fixedly connected to one side of each of the support frames 1, 2, and 3, and the multiple telescopic rods are distributed in a rectangular array.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a push handle is fixedly connected to the front end of the support frame one, and a number of casters are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame one via a bracket, the casters being distributed in a rectangular array.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention, through the combined design of the placement frame and the placement slot, ensures stable placement of food during drying and facilitates quick retrieval of the placement frame, thereby improving the efficiency of food loading and unloading. The combination of a bidirectional lead screw and a cross-folding rod allows for flexible adjustment of the spacing between support frames one, two, and three according to the height of the food, preventing food from stacking and obstructing the view and ensuring even drying of each layer. Furthermore, when the device is not in use, the bidirectional lead screw drives the cross-folding rod to retract, minimizing the spacing between support frames one, two, and three, allowing the multi-layered structure to fold and retract, significantly reducing the floor space occupied when the device is not in use. This facilitates stacking or wall-mounted storage in warehouses and other spaces, improving storage convenience.
[0014] This invention reduces the driving force required by eccentrically installing the rotating handle, allowing for spacing adjustment without relying on electricity. It is suitable for drying scenarios without power or for temporary relocation, greatly improving the applicability of the device. The multi-stage telescopic rods distributed in a rectangular array between support frame one, support frame two, and support frame three can effectively counteract the lateral force when adjusting the cross-folding rods, preventing the support frame from swaying left and right.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0020] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The conditions in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to specific conditions, and simple improvements to the method of the present invention under the premise of the concept of the present invention are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a drying device for food production, including a mobile vehicle body 1. The mobile vehicle body 1 includes a first support frame 101, a second support frame 102, and a third support frame 103. Each of the three support frames 101, 102, and 103 has a placement groove 104, and each placement groove 104 contains a placement frame 2. Food to be dried can be directly placed in the placement frame 2, forming a multi-layer drying space. The front and rear ends of the first support frame 101 are respectively provided with limiting grooves 105. A bidirectional lead screw 106 is rotatably connected inside the limiting groove 105. Both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 106 are threadedly connected to limiting sliders 107. The shapes of the limiting sliders 107 on both sides are adapted to the limiting grooves 105. The front and rear ends of the second support frame 102 are synchronously connected to the support frame 103. The first frame 101 is equipped with a limiting groove 105 and a limiting slider 107. One end of the limiting slider 107 on the upper and lower sides is rotatably connected to a cross folding rod 108. A central shaft 109 is rotatably connected to the middle of the cross folding rod 108, and the central shaft 109 is fixedly connected to the second support frame 102. The mobile vehicle body 1 also includes several synchronous pulleys 1010 that are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the right side of the first support frame 101 in a linear array. One end of the synchronous pulley 1010 is fixedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw 106, and the synchronous pulleys 1010 are connected to each other by a synchronous belt 1011. The side surfaces of both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 106 are provided with threads in opposite directions, and the limiting sliders 107 are respectively threaded to them. The first support frame 101, the second support frame 102, and the third support frame 103 are distributed from bottom to top.
[0022] The limiting grooves 105 at the front and rear ends of support frame 101 and support frame 202 provide sliding tracks for limiting sliders 107. The two-way lead screw 106 has threads in opposite directions at both ends and is threadedly connected to the limiting sliders 107. When the two-way lead screw 106 rotates, the limiting sliders 107 on both sides slide in opposite directions along the limiting grooves 105. At the same time, the upper and lower limiting sliders 107 are rotatably connected to the cross folding rod 108. The middle part of the cross folding rod 108 is fixed to support frame 202 through the central shaft 109. When the slider slides, it will drive the cross folding rod 108 to rotate around the central shaft 109, thereby realizing the synchronous adjustment of the distance between support frame 101 and support frame 202, and between support frame 202 and support frame 303.
[0023] This invention, through the cooperative design of the placement frame 2 and the placement slot 104, ensures stable placement of food during drying and facilitates quick retrieval and placement of the placement frame 2, thereby improving the efficiency of food loading and unloading. Through the cooperation of the bidirectional lead screw 106 and the cross-folding rod 108, the spacing between the support frame 101, support frame 202, and support frame 303 can be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the food, preventing food from stacking and obstructing the view and ensuring uniform drying of each layer. Furthermore, when the device is not in use, the bidirectional lead screw 106 drives the cross-folding rod 108 to retract, minimizing the spacing between the support frame 101, support frame 202, and support frame 303, allowing the multi-layer structure to fold and retract, significantly reducing the floor space occupied when the device is not in use. This facilitates stacking or wall-mounted storage in warehouses and other spaces, improving storage convenience.
[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a transmission disc 3 is rotatably connected to the right side of support frame 101. One end of the transmission disc 3, near support frame 101, passes through support frame 101 and is fixedly connected to a synchronous pulley 1010 on one side. The other end of the transmission disc 3, away from the center, is rotatably connected to a rotating handle 4. Multiple telescopic rods 5 are fixedly connected to the sides of support frames 101, 202, and 303, and these rods are arranged in a rectangular array. This invention reduces the driving force required by the eccentric installation of the rotating handle 4, allowing for spacing adjustment without relying on electricity. It is suitable for drying scenarios without power or requiring temporary relocation, significantly improving the applicability of the device. The rectangular array of multiple telescopic rods 5 between support frames 101, 202, and 303 effectively counteracts the lateral force during adjustment of the cross-folding rod 108, preventing the support frames from swaying left and right.
[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a push handle 6 is fixedly connected to the front end of the support frame 101, and several casters 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 101 via brackets. The casters 7 are arranged in a rectangular array. With the casters 7 installed, the mobile vehicle 1 can be easily moved to a well-ventilated and appropriately lit drying area, improving the efficiency of food drying.
[0026] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0027] When using the device, the staff first places the food to be dried into the placement frame 2, and then places the placement frame 2 containing the food into the placement slots 104 inside the support frames 101, 102, and 103 respectively, quickly building up a multi-layer drying space. Next, according to the actual height of the food, the staff manually rotates the rotating handle 4 on the right side of the transmission disc 3 of the support frame 101, which is located away from the center. Because the rotating handle 4 is eccentrically installed, it requires less effort. When rotating, it will drive the transmission disc 3 to rotate synchronously. The end of the transmission disc 3 closest to the support frame 101 is fixedly connected to a synchronous pulley 1010, thereby driving the synchronous pulley 1010 to rotate. The synchronous pulleys 1010 are connected by a synchronous belt 1011, which enables the synchronous pulleys to rotate. All the synchronous wheels 1010 on the inner right side of the support frame 101 and the bidirectional lead screw 106 fixed thereto rotate synchronously. The threads at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 106 with opposite directions will drive the limit sliders 107 on both sides to slide in opposite directions along the limit slide groove 105. The limit sliders 107 on the upper and lower sides will drive the cross folding rod 108 to rotate around the central axis 109 fixed to the middle of the support frame 2 102, thereby synchronously adjusting the distance between support frame 101 and support frame 2 102, and between support frame 2 102 and support frame 3 103. During this process, the multi-level telescopic rods 5 distributed in a rectangular array between the support frames will extend and retract synchronously with the change of distance, effectively offsetting the lateral force of the cross folding rod 108 and preventing the support frame from swaying left and right.
[0028] After the spacing is adjusted so that the food is not stacked and obstructed, the staff holds the push handle 6 at the front of the support frame 101 and pushes the moving vehicle 1. With the help of the universal wheels 7 which are fixed at the bottom by the bracket and distributed in a rectangular array, the device can be easily moved to a well-ventilated and well-lit area for food drying.
[0029] When the device is not in use, turn the handle 4 again to drive the cross folding rod 108 to retract via the two-way lead screw 106, thereby minimizing the spacing between support frame one 101, support frame two 102, and support frame three 103, achieving multi-layer folding and reducing the floor space required for storage.
[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
