Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product processing equipment technology, specifically to a chili processing and drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Sun-drying is a crucial step in chili processing, directly affecting the quality and shelf life of the chilies.
[0003] Traditional chili drying devices typically consist of drying racks and nets, relying mainly on natural sunlight and wind during the day for drying. However, due to diurnal temperature variations and nighttime humidity changes, the moisture in the nighttime environment can easily cause the dried chilies to become damp again, prolonging the drying period and potentially leading to mold growth. To avoid these problems, the chilies need to be removed from the drying device in the evening and then spread out again to dry the next morning. This repeated process requires a significant amount of manpower, increasing the workload of operators, and can also damage the chilies during the process, affecting processing quality and failing to meet the high-efficiency production requirements of large-scale chili processing. Therefore, we propose a chili processing drying device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A chili processing and drying device, comprising:
[0006] A support plate is provided, with rectangular compartments fixed on both sides of the top of the support plate. A tray is fixed at equal intervals between the inner sidewalls of the two rectangular compartments. Chili peppers are laid flat on the tray. Square tubes are fixed on both sides of the top of the tray and are connected to the rectangular compartments. First ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the opposite side of the two square tubes. A blower is installed on the top of the support plate near the rectangular compartment. The air outlet of the blower is connected to the inside of the rectangular compartment. Electric heating rods are installed at equal intervals on the sidewalls of the rectangular compartment. The heating ends of the electric heating rods extend into the inside of the rectangular compartment.
[0007] Furthermore, a solar panel is installed on the top of one side of the rectangular compartment, and a battery is installed on the side wall of the rectangular compartment. The output end of the solar panel is electrically connected to the input end of the battery through a photovoltaic inverter, and the output end of the battery is electrically connected to the input end of the blower and the heating rod.
[0008] Furthermore, a control box is installed on another outer wall of the rectangular compartment, and a temperature sensor is installed on the inner wall of the rectangular compartment. The input terminals of the heating rod and the temperature sensor are both electrically connected to the output terminal of the control box.
[0009] Furthermore, an L-shaped plate is fixed to the top of one side of the rectangular container, the solar panel is inclined between the two ends of the L-shaped plate, and a reinforcing rod is connected between the bottom of the L-shaped plate and the side wall of the rectangular container.
[0010] Furthermore, a receiving groove is provided on the top of the support plate between the two rectangular bins, and a rectangular channel is opened on one side of the pallet.
[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the tray is evenly distributed with second vent holes.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] This application provides a chili pepper processing and drying device, mainly to address the problem that existing technologies rely on natural sunlight and wind for drying during the day. However, due to the influence of diurnal temperature differences and nighttime humidity variations, the moisture in the nighttime environment can easily cause the dried chili peppers to become damp again, which not only prolongs the drying period but may also lead to mold growth. The following technical solution is provided, which will be discussed in conjunction with... Figures 1-4 Please provide a detailed explanation:
[0022] A chili processing and drying device includes: a support plate 1, rectangular chambers 2 fixed on both sides of the top of the support plate 1, trays 3 fixed at equal intervals between the inner sidewalls of the two rectangular chambers 2, chilies laid flat on the trays 3, square tubes 4 fixed on both sides of the top of the trays 3, the square tubes 4 connected to the rectangular chambers 2, and first ventilation holes 401 evenly distributed on opposite sides of the two square tubes 4, a blower 5 installed on the top of the support plate 1 near the rectangular chambers 2, the air outlet of the blower 5 connected to the interior of the rectangular chambers 2, electric heating rods 6 installed at equal intervals on the sidewalls of the rectangular chambers 2, the heating end of the electric heating rods 6 extending into the interior of the rectangular chambers 2, a solar panel 7 installed on the top of one side of the rectangular chambers 2, a battery 8 installed on the sidewall of the rectangular chambers 2, the output end of the solar panel 7 electrically connected to the input end of the battery 8 through a photovoltaic inverter, and the output end of the battery 8 electrically connected to the input ends of the blower 5 and the electric heating rods 6.
[0023] Workflow Description:
[0024] Natural drying stage during the day: The operator lays the peppers to be dried on the tray 3 of the device. During the day, the peppers are dried by natural sunlight and wind. At the same time, the solar panel 7 installed on the top of the rectangular warehouse 2 absorbs solar energy and converts the solar energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic inverter and stores it in the battery 8 to reserve energy for the operation of the equipment at night.
[0025] Nighttime hot air dehumidification stage: In the evening, there is no need to put away the chili peppers. The battery 8 supplies power to the blower 5 and the heating rod 6. The heating end of the heating rod 6 releases heat into the rectangular chamber 2. The blower 5 blows outside air into the rectangular chamber 2. The air is heated by the heating rod 6 to form hot air. The hot air is blown out from the first vent 401 evenly distributed on the opposite side of the square tube 4 through the connection structure between the rectangular chamber 2 and the square tube 4. It acts on the chili peppers on the tray 3 to achieve heat dehumidification of the chili peppers and prevent the chili peppers from getting damp at night.
[0026] This chili processing and drying device uses solar panels 7 and batteries 8 to collect, convert, and store solar energy, providing power for the operation of the blower 5 and heating rod 6 at night. Simultaneously, the rectangular hopper 2, square tube 4, blower 5, and heating rod 6 combine to form a hot air circulation and moisture-proof system. The air blown in by the blower 5 is heated by the heating rod 6 and then evenly distributed to the chilies through the first vent 401 on the square tube 4. There is no need to remove the chilies from the drying device at night, nor to spread them out again the next morning, eliminating the need for repeated handling and significantly reducing the workload of operators, lowering labor costs, and meeting the high-efficiency production needs of large-scale chili processing.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a control box 9 is installed on the other outer wall of the rectangular chamber 2, and a temperature sensor is installed on the inner wall of the rectangular chamber 2. The input terminals of the heating rod 6 and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to the output terminal of the control box 9. More specifically, a temperature sensor is installed on the inner wall of the control box 9, and the input terminals of the heating rod 6 and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to the output terminal of the control box 9. The temperature sensor captures the temperature of the hot air inside the chamber in real time and converts the temperature signal into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the control box 9. The control box 9, as the core control component, has a built-in temperature threshold suitable for drying peppers. After receiving the signal, it compares and analyzes it. If the temperature is lower than the lower limit, it controls the heating rod 6 to increase its power or continue to work. If the temperature is higher than the upper limit, it controls the power to decrease or stop working, thereby achieving automatic and precise control of the hot air temperature. This ensures that the peppers are in a suitable temperature range when they are kept dry at night, avoiding damage from high temperatures or insufficient dehumidification.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, an L-shaped plate 10 is fixed to the top of one side of the rectangular compartment 2, and the solar panel 7 is inclined between the two ends of the L-shaped plate 10. A reinforcing rod 11 is connected between the bottom of the L-shaped plate 10 and the side wall of the rectangular compartment 2. More specifically, the inclined design of the solar panel 7 is conducive to efficient absorption of solar energy. The reinforcing rod 11 connects the bottom of the L-shaped plate to the side wall of the rectangular compartment 2. The reinforcing rod 11 can enhance the stability of the connection between the L-shaped plate and the rectangular compartment 2, prevent the installation structure from loosening due to external force or its own weight, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the solar collection module.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a receiving trough 12 is provided on the top of the support plate 1 between the two rectangular bins 2, and a rectangular channel 301 is opened on one side of the pallet 3. More specifically, after the peppers are dried, the operator can push the peppers into the receiving trough 12 through the rectangular channel 301 of the pallet 3. The receiving trough 12 realizes the centralized collection of peppers, avoids scattering, facilitates subsequent transfer, simplifies the pepper loading and unloading process, and improves the ease of operation of the device.
[0030] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the surface of the tray 3 is evenly distributed with second ventilation holes 302. More specifically, when hot air blows from the first ventilation hole 401 of the square tube 4 toward the chili peppers, the second ventilation holes 302 can ensure the vertical airflow, prevent hot air from accumulating above the tray 3, and allow the hot air to come into full contact with the chili peppers on the tray 3, ensuring that all parts of the chili peppers can be effectively heated and dehumidified, further improving the nighttime moisture-proof effect and ensuring the uniformity of drying.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, rollers 13 are installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the support plate 1. The rollers 13 are self-locking casters. More specifically, the self-locking casters can easily adjust the device to a suitable drying place when the device is moved, making it easier to load and unload peppers or move the site. When fixed operation is required, the self-locking function can make the device park stably, avoiding the impact of external force on drying or operation safety, thus improving the convenience and safety of the device.
[0032] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
