Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible fungi production equipment technology, and in particular to a novel edible fungi drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] In the edible fungi processing industry, drying is a key process that determines the product's taste, nutrient retention, and storage period. As the core equipment for drying edible fungi, the rationality of the drying rack's structure directly affects processing efficiency and product quality, playing an irreplaceable role in large-scale production scenarios. Most mushroom drying racks currently on the market use a horizontally placed tray design. While this structure is simple to operate, the horizontal tray easily obstructs airflow within the drying rack, significantly reducing the contact area (airflow area) between the mushrooms and the hot air. This not only significantly prolongs the overall drying time but also causes uneven heating of the mushrooms within the same tray due to poor local airflow circulation. This results in some mushrooms being over-dried while others fail to meet drying standards, severely impacting product quality stability. Some drying racks design their trays with an inclined installation style to optimize airflow, but due to structural limitations, the tray's tilt angle is fixed and cannot be adjusted. On one hand, even slight bumps during tray placement cause the mushrooms to slide quickly down the fixed tilt surface, accumulating and compressing at lower points, easily damaging the mushrooms and further disrupting the uniformity of the local drying environment. On the other hand, different stages of the mushroom drying process require different amounts of hot air, necessitating adjustments to the rack's angle or shape, which is extremely inconvenient with existing drying racks.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design an edible mushroom drying rack with an adjustable tilt angle. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a novel edible mushroom drying rack that can adjust the angle of the drying rack according to needs, thereby increasing the airflow area of ​​the trays inside the drying rack.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A novel edible mushroom drying rack includes a base, frame support columns, mounting frames, trays, and linkage adjustment components. Multiple frame support columns are evenly and fixedly mounted on the long shaft of the base. Multiple mounting frames are evenly and longitudinally rotatably mounted between two frame support columns. The trays are detachably mounted within multiple mounting frames. Multiple linkage adjustment components are provided, each including a linkage plate, linkage support rods, linkage slide rods, and telescopic cylinders. Multiple second limiting elements are evenly arranged longitudinally on the linkage plate. Symmetrical second mounting holes are provided on both sides of the mounting frames. Two linkage plates are mounted in sets through the second limiting elements into the multiple second mounting holes on the mounting frames. Multiple sets of slide rails are provided on the base, each set having two slide rails correspondingly positioned at the lower part of the mounting frames. The two ends of the linkage slide rods are slidably mounted on the two slide rails. Two linkage support rods are parallel to each other, with their ends rotatably mounted on the ends of the linkage slide rods and the mounting frames at the lowest part of the frame support columns. The telescopic cylinders are fixedly mounted on the base, and their drive shafts are fixedly connected to the linkage slide rods. When the telescopic cylinder is working, its drive shaft pushes the linkage slide rod, which in turn drives the linkage support rod to push up or pull down the bottom mounting bracket. The unstable structure composed of multiple mounting brackets and linkage plates will be adjusted in angle by the bottom mounting bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting bracket includes a mounting slot, in which the tray is removably embedded.

[0007] Preferably, the tray includes a ventilated panel, a mounting frame, and handles. The ventilated panel is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame, and the handles are installed on both sides of the mounting frame.

[0008] Preferably, the linkage adjustment assembly also includes two springs. Second hanging rings are provided on both sides of the mounting bracket at the lowest part of the frame support column, away from the linkage support rod. Two first hanging rings are provided on the lower side of the base corresponding to the two second hanging rings. The two springs are correspondingly hung on the first and second hanging rings on the same side. The springs can further improve the stability of the mounting bracket.

[0009] Preferably, the frame support column includes a first support column and a second support column. Multiple first mounting holes are evenly arranged longitudinally on the first and second support columns. There are two first support columns, which are installed at both ends of the long axis of the base. The second support column is fixedly installed in the center of the base. First limiting members are provided in the middle of both sides of the mounting frame. Multiple mounting frames are divided into two groups and are rotatably installed between the first and second support columns through the first limiting members. Two sets of linkage adjustment components are correspondingly installed on the two sets of mounting frames.

[0010] Preferably, the base also includes casters, and there are multiple casters installed at the four corners of the base. The casters facilitate the adjustment of the overall direction of the drying rack or the movement of the drying rack.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are that, through the design of the linkage adjustment component, the telescopic cylinder drives the linkage slide rod to slide along the slide rail, which in turn drives the linkage support rod to move the bottom mounting frame. This, in turn, through the linkage plate, allows all mounting frames to adjust their tilt angles synchronously. This enables the tray's airflow area to be flexibly increased according to drying requirements, improving hot air circulation and effectively solving the problems of airflow blockage and uneven drying caused by fixed tilt angles in existing technologies. Furthermore, it allows for flexible adjustment at different stages of the edible fungus drying process, adapting to the drying needs of each stage. By adjusting the rack direction, the direction of hot air supply is changed, ensuring optimal drying results at each stage and forming a dynamic adjustment system for optimal drying performance.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0017] This utility model provides a novel edible mushroom drying rack, which allows for adjustment of the rack's angle to increase the airflow area of ​​the tray 4 within the rack. Figures 1-4 As shown, the edible mushroom drying rack uses a base 1 as its basic support structure. The base 1 is a rectangular frame made of metal to ensure stability. Multiple frame support columns 2 are fixedly installed along the long axis of the base 1. These support columns 2 are evenly distributed, including two first support columns 201 and one second support column 202. The first support columns 201 are located at both ends of the long axis of the base 1, while the second support column 202 is fixedly installed in the center of the base 1. Multiple sets of first mounting holes 203 are evenly spaced longitudinally on the frame support columns 2 for rotatably mounting multiple mounting racks 3. The mounting racks 3 are rotatably connected to the first mounting holes 203 via first limiting members 304 (which can be pins or bearings) located at the center of both sides, thus dividing the multiple mounting racks 3 into two groups, which are rotatably mounted between the first support columns 201 and the second support column 202 respectively. This arrangement allows the mounting racks 3 to be adjusted in angle using the frame support columns 2 as fulcrums while maintaining the overall structural balance.

[0018] Multiple sets of slide rails 101 are also provided on the base 1. Each set of slide rails 101 includes two parallel rails, located at the lower part of the mounting frame 3, to support the sliding parts of the linkage adjustment assembly 5. In addition, a caster wheel 102 is installed at each of the four corners of the base 1. The caster wheel 102 has a braking function, which facilitates the movement and fixation of the entire drying rack to meet the needs of different working sites. The base 1 is also provided with a first hanging ring 103, located below the mounting frame 3 at the bottom of the frame support column 2, to connect the spring 506 and enhance stability.

[0019] The mounting bracket 3, as the core component supporting the tray 4, adopts a frame structure and has an internal mounting groove 301. The size of the mounting groove 301 matches the tray 4, allowing the tray 4 to be detachably embedded. Symmetrical second mounting holes 303 are also provided on both sides of the mounting bracket 3 for connecting the linkage plate 501. When the tray 4 is placed in the mounting groove 301, the mounting bracket 3 supports the tray 4 through its rotational connection point, allowing the tray 4 to tilt as a whole with the mounting bracket 3. On the mounting bracket 3 at the lowest part of the frame support column 2, second hanging rings 302 are fixed on both sides away from the linkage support rod 503 for hanging springs 506, corresponding to the first hanging ring 103 on the base 1.

[0020] The tray 4 is designed to be detachable and includes a mounting frame 402, a ventilation plate 401, and handles 403. The mounting frame 402 is made of a metal frame, and the ventilation plate 401 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame 402. It adopts a porous mesh or grid structure to allow hot airflow to pass smoothly, increasing the airflow area and promoting uniform drying of edible fungi. The handles 403 are installed on both sides of the mounting frame 402, making it convenient for operators to pick up and put down the tray 4, improving work efficiency. The tray 4 is embedded in the mounting groove 301 of the mounting bracket 3, ensuring that it will not accidentally slip during tilting adjustments, while also facilitating cleaning and maintenance.

[0021] The linkage adjustment assembly 5 is a key component for controlling the tilt angle of the mounting frame 3. Each linkage adjustment assembly 5 includes a linkage plate 501, a linkage support rod 503, a linkage slide rod 504, a telescopic cylinder 505, and a spring 506. Multiple second limiting elements 502 (such as bolts or pins) are evenly arranged longitudinally on the linkage plate 501. These second limiting elements 502 cooperate with the second mounting holes 303 on both sides of the mounting frame 3, allowing the linkage plates 501 to be installed in pairs on multiple mounting frames 3, thereby connecting the multiple mounting frames 3 into a whole. The two ends of the linkage slide rod 504 are slidably mounted on the slide rail 101 of the base 1, allowing horizontal movement along the slide rail 101. There are two linkage support rods 503, arranged in parallel, with their ends rotatably connected to the two ends of the linkage slide rod 504 and the mounting frame 3 at the bottom of the frame support column 2, forming a linkage mechanism. The telescopic cylinder 505 can be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder, fixedly mounted on the base 1, with its drive shaft directly fixed to the linkage slide rod 504. When the telescopic cylinder 505 operates, the drive shaft pushes the linkage slide rod 504 to slide along the slide rail 101. The linkage slide rod 504, through the linkage support rod 503, drives the bottom mounting bracket 3 to move around its rotation point. Since multiple mounting brackets 3 are connected by the linkage plate 501, forming an unstable structure, the movement of the bottom mounting bracket 3 forces all mounting brackets 3 to adjust their tilt angle synchronously, achieving overall angle adjustment. There are two springs 506, which are respectively hung on the first hanging ring 103 of the base 1 and the second hanging ring 302 of the bottom mounting bracket 3 of the frame support column 2. The springs 506 provide auxiliary tension and buffer when the angle of the mounting bracket 3 changes, preventing swaying and improving structural stability.

[0022] When the entire drying rack is in operation, the operator controls the extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder 505, driving the linkage slide rod 504 to move. This movement is transmitted through the linkage support rod 503 and linkage plate 501, causing all mounting racks 3 to tilt synchronously. As the mounting racks 3 tilt, the tray 4 increases the contact area with the hot airflow, preventing airflow blockage. Simultaneously, the embedded design of the tray 4 prevents edible fungi from slipping off. The casters 102 facilitate moving the drying rack to the designated position in the drying room, and the spring 506 ensures a smooth adjustment process. This design achieves stepless angle adjustment through mechanical linkage, adapting to the drying needs of different edible fungi and improving production efficiency and product quality. The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
