Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of dehydration equipment technology, and in particular to a foldable coffee fruit drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of fresh coffee beans, increasingly, sun-drying is used for dehydration. Because sun-drying requires a large area, there are at least two methods for drying fresh coffee cherries: one is traditional single-layer drying on flat racks; the other is multi-layer drying on multiple racks, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Currently, the traditional method is more commonly used. However, due to the large quantity of fresh coffee beans harvested each time, concentrated within a short period, a large area of ​​drying racks is needed for dehydration. Traditional drying methods use support frames and mesh screens fixed together, either in the drying yard or in the field after harvesting crops. This always covers the ground, resulting in the drying racks taking up space after drying, not only occupying empty space in the drying yard and hindering its use, but also making it inconvenient to stack the collected racks.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0048] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a foldable coffee fruit drying rack. The technical solution of this application embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] like Figure 1 The foldable coffee drying rack shown in the image mainly comprises a support frame 1 and a sieve body 2. In this application, the sieve body 2 is detachably positioned above the support frame 1, allowing the support frame 1 and sieve body 2 to be separated for easy collection and stacking when not in use. In this application, as... Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the sieve body 2 is flat and includes an outer baffle 21, a screen 22, and a bottom crossbar 24. The outer baffle 21 is a square frame, and the screen 22 is embedded in the outer baffle 21. The bottom crossbar 24 is connected to the bottom of the outer baffle 21 and abuts against the bottom of the screen 22 to form the sieve body 2. The sieve body 2 can be stacked in one direction after the support 1 is removed, thus reducing the stacking space. However, the support 1, due to its supporting column, will still occupy most of the space if stacked without further processing. This application addresses this by setting the support 1 into three detachable parts, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 Therefore, it includes an openable and closable movable support 11, a second fixing member 12, and a first fixing member 13. The movable support 11 is configured as an openable and closable X-shape. The second fixing member 12 is detachably and movably connected to the horizontal sides of the movable support 11, and the first fixing member 13 is detachably and movably connected to the vertical sides of the movable support 11. In this way, during use, the support 1, which originally occupies a certain space, can be disassembled into components that can be stored in one surface. Thus, it can be stacked like the sieve body 2, thereby reducing the space occupied.

[0050] This application designs the originally integrated drying rack into several detachable parts, and these detachable parts can be stacked on one side, reducing space occupation during collection and stacking, and making collection and stacking more convenient.

[0051] In one embodiment, to facilitate the quick disassembly and assembly of the bracket 1, the movable support 11 of this application is as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it includes a central column 111, a side connecting column 112, a first movable rod 113, a first positioning hole 114, a second movable rod 115, a first positioning shaft 116, a second positioning hole 117, and a second positioning shaft 118. The first movable rod 113 and the second movable rod 115 have connectors at both ends to facilitate connection with the second fixing member 12 and the first fixing member 13. Specifically, a second positioning shaft 118 is formed at the bottom of the connector to facilitate positioning connection with the first fixing member 13, and a second positioning hole 117 is formed at the top to facilitate positioning connection with the second fixing member 12. To provide support and folding movement, the side connecting column 112 is fixedly installed on one side of the central column 111, and the first movable rod 113 is fixedly connected to the top of the side connecting column 112, as shown. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first movable rod 113 and the side connecting column 112 form a Z-shaped bend at the connection point. This is mainly to ensure that, during unfolding, the tops of the first movable rod 113 and the second movable rod 115 are on the same plane without affecting the opening and closing mechanism, thus facilitating support for the screen body 2. Simultaneously, the top of the central column 111 has a first positioning hole 114, and the middle of the second movable rod 115 has a first positioning shaft 116 that inserts into the first positioning hole 114, thus forming an openable X-shaped structure.

[0052] In one embodiment, to adapt to the active support 11, such as Figure 9 As shown, the second fixing member 12 includes a first crossbar 121 and a third positioning shaft 122. The two ends of the first crossbar 121 are fixedly connected to the third positioning shaft 122, and the bottom of the third positioning shaft 122 is provided with a third positioning hole 123. Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, after the movable support 11 is unfolded, the third positioning shaft 122 is inserted into the second positioning hole 117 and connected as a whole. At the same time, a notch needs to be constructed at the second positioning hole 117 so that the first crossbar 121 can be embedded therein, so that the top of the third positioning shaft 122 is on the same plane as the top of the second movable rod 115 and the first movable rod 113. The bottom of the four corners of the outer baffle 21 are constructed with shafts that are compatible with the third positioning shaft 122 to facilitate positioning and installation when the screen body 2 is connected.

[0053] In one embodiment, to adapt to the active support 11, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first fixing member 13 includes a side center column 131, a second crossbeam 132, a connecting rod 133, a side column 134, a connecting platform 135, and a fourth positioning hole 136.

[0054] A second crossbeam 132 is symmetrically fixed to the top of the side column 131. L-shaped connecting rods 133 are provided at both ends of the second crossbeam 132. One end of the connecting rod 133 is connected to a connecting platform 135, and a side column 134 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting platform 135. A fourth positioning hole 136 is constructed on the top of the connecting platform 135. In use, the second positioning shaft 118 is inserted into the fourth positioning hole 136, and the end faces of the two abut against each other to form a single support column. The L-shaped connecting rod 133 is designed to avoid the first movable rod 113 and the second movable rod 115, thus preventing them from affecting the opening. It also ensures that most of the top of the second crossbeam 132 is on the same plane as the tops of the first movable rod 113 and the second movable rod 115, facilitating support for the screen body 2.

[0055] In one embodiment, a reinforcing rod 137 is provided between the connecting rod 133 and the side post 134 to enhance support.

[0056] In one embodiment, to facilitate the installation and removal of the screen body 2, the third positioning hole 123 is a hemispherical recessed hole, and the bottom of the four corners of the outer baffle 21 is constructed with hemispherical protruding columns, and a handrail 23 is provided on the outer side of the outer baffle 21.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the collective installation and use of this application are as follows:

[0058] First, transport the two components of the movable support 11, the second fixing member 12, the first fixing member 13, and the sieve body 2 to the location where they need to be installed. Then, one method is to assemble the first movable rod 113 and the second movable rod 115 into a complete movable support 11; another method is to install them separately, depending on the specific needs. Two people hold the first fixing members 13 on both sides upright, and one or two people open and straighten the movable support 11, so that the second positioning shafts 118 of the first movable rod 113 and the second movable rod 115 are inserted into the fourth positioning holes 136, thus forming a stable support. Then, insert the third positioning shaft 122 of the second fixing member 12 into the second positioning hole 117 of the movable support 11, thus forming a supportable bracket 1 that restricts the opening of the movable support 11. Finally, lift the sieve body 2 and place it on the bracket 1, so that the hemispherical protrusion at the bottom of the sieve body 2 is embedded into the hemispherical recess in the second fixing member 12, thus assembling a complete drying rack. After use, the components can be disassembled and stacked.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relationships such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "include," "contain," or any other variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0060] The units described as separate components may or may not be physically separate. The components shown as units may or may not be physical units; that is, they may be located in one place or distributed across multiple network units. Some or all of the units can be selected to achieve the purpose of this embodiment according to actual needs.

[0061] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
