Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drying equipment technology, and more specifically, to an auxiliary device for drying shellfish. Background Technology

[0002] Drying equipment, also known as a mesh belt dryer, involves distributing the material to be processed onto a conveyor belt via a suitable material spreading mechanism, such as a star-shaped distributor, oscillating belt, crusher, or granulator. The conveyor belt passes through a channel composed of one or more heating units, each equipped with an air heating and circulation system. Each channel has one or more dehumidification systems. As the conveyor belt passes, hot air flows from top to bottom or bottom to top through the material on the conveyor belt, ensuring uniform drying. This type of drying equipment, using a steel mesh as the conveyor belt for continuous material drying, is most suitable for assembly line operations. Because the conveyor belt is mesh-like, it is most suitable for drying various regular or irregular blocky materials (such as various mineral powders, food, and vegetables). Existing drying equipment cannot effectively dry shellfish, often preventing internal moisture from evaporating, resulting in high water content in the recovered shellfish. Furthermore, drying equipment frequently experiences machine malfunctions when drying materials with high moisture content.

[0003] An existing patent publication number, CN206629891U, describes a shellfish drying auxiliary device. It includes a drying box body with an outer surface coated with an insulation layer. The drying box body has a first drying layer, a second drying layer, and a third drying layer on its side. These three drying layers are embedded inside the drying box body and are movably connected to it via sliding grooves. Each of the first, second, and third drying layers has a wire mesh at its bottom. This shellfish drying auxiliary device utilizes high-power heating wires in the heating mesh layer to ensure sufficient heat supply. Simultaneously, the drying box body provides insulation, allowing the shellfish to quickly absorb heat and preventing heat loss. However, the material remains stationary during drying, and the bottom of the material cannot be dried quickly, resulting in poor drying effect, high time consumption, and a more complex structure. Therefore, designing a shellfish drying auxiliary device is a problem we currently need to solve. Utility Model Content

Matching the lower chamber 6, the lower chamber 6 has first connecting rods 9 on both sides. The material plate 7 is located between the upper chamber 5 and the lower chamber 6. The material plate 7, the upper chamber 5, and the lower chamber 6 have through holes 10, through which water droplets on the material can fall. Similarly, the hot air pipe 3 sends high-temperature gas into the drying chamber 1 to heat and dry the material in the material box 4. The material plate 7 has an insertion hole 11 above it and a fixing rod 12 below it. Adjacent material plates 7 are connected by fixing rods. 12 is fixed to the socket 11. The bottom material plate 7 is fitted to the bottom of the lower box 6 through the fixing rod 12. The material plate 7 is provided with a horizontal partition 13, which divides the material plate 7 into several strip-shaped cavities. The disassembly plate 8 is detachably installed on the horizontal partition 13. The cooperation between the disassembly plate 8 and the horizontal partition 13 realizes the partitioning of the space above the material plate 7, which facilitates the addition of materials.

[0021] The bottom of the drying chamber 1 is provided with a water outlet 19, and the bottom of the drying chamber 1 is inclined toward the water outlet 19 to facilitate the rapid removal of water from the material and improve the dehydration rate.

[0022] Specifically, the disassembly plate 8 is a rectangular thin sheet structure with insertion slots on it. The insertion slots correspond one-to-one with the transverse partitions 13. The disassembly plate 8 and the transverse partitions 13 are detachably connected, and the spacing between the disassembly plates 8 can be manually adjusted to meet the placement needs of shellfish of different sizes.

[0023] The drying chamber 1 has a feed inlet on one side, and the feed inlet is equipped with a door structure that can be opened and closed. The door structure allows for easy addition of materials, and the door structure can be located on the top of the drying chamber 1.

[0024] Specifically, a heating device is connected to one side of the hot air duct 3. The heating device is connected to the hot air duct 3 through a hot air pipe. The drying auxiliary device also includes a power supply, which is electrically connected to the motor 14 and the fan 2.

[0025] In use, this utility model utilizes a material plate 7 to hold shellfish. The material plate 7 is stacked and added to the lower box 6, and the material box 4 is secured with clips. The material plate 7, the upper box 5, and the lower box 6 are provided with through holes 10, which can effectively drain water from the shellfish and accelerate heat transfer. The swing unit drives the material box 4 to swing left and right, and the material on the material plate 7 is constantly turned over, improving drying efficiency. The detachable plate 8 on the material plate 7 can be adjusted appropriately according to the size of the shellfish, making it more flexible to use. The fan 2 can accelerate the air flow in the drying box 1, improving drying efficiency. Moisture falls from the through holes 10 and is discharged from the water outlet 19, resulting in good effect.

[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art, all of which fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
