Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage device technology, and specifically to a freeze-dried storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Freeze-dried lemons are lemon products processed using vacuum freeze-drying technology. Their core advantage lies in preserving the nutrition, flavor, and shape of fresh lemons to the greatest extent possible. They are also easy to store and carry, making them a high-quality "alternative" to fresh lemons.

[0003] Currently, after freeze-drying lemons, they need to be stored using freeze-drying storage devices. Existing freeze-drying storage devices are mostly simple storage cabinets. After the freeze-dried lemons are poured into the cabinet, operators need to spread the accumulated freeze-dried lemons out, which increases the time the freeze-dried lemons are exposed to air. Furthermore, air is also present inside the cabinet during storage, which can easily cause the freeze-dried lemons to absorb moisture from the air, leading to softening or even mold growth, thus reducing the storage effectiveness of the freeze-drying process. Therefore, to address the above technical problems, a freeze-drying storage device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a freeze-drying storage device, which can reduce the time of freeze-dried products exposed to air and improve the storage effect of freeze-dried products.

[0005] A freeze-dried storage device, comprising: The cabinet has multiple cavities spaced apart on one side. A first cabinet door is hinged to the cabinet. The first cabinet door can seal the multiple cavities and is detachably connected to the cabinet through a first lock. A vacuum pump is installed on the cabinet. The vacuum pump has multiple sets of one-way suction valves on its suction pipe, and each set of one-way suction valves is connected to a set of cavities. The placement mechanism includes a placement box and a drive assembly. Each of the multiple cavities is provided with a placement box that can slide along the width direction of the cabinet. The cabinet is provided with multiple sets of drive assemblies, which are respectively connected to the multiple sets of placement boxes.

[0017] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2One embodiment of a freeze-drying storage device includes a cabinet 10, a vacuum pump 20, and a placement mechanism. The cabinet 10 has multiple cavities 101 spaced apart on one side. A first cabinet door 102 is hinged to the cabinet 10, sealing the cavities 101 and detachably connected to the cabinet 10 via a first lock 1021. The vacuum pump 20 is mounted on the cabinet 10, and its suction pipe 201 has multiple one-way suction valves 202, each communicating with one of the cavities 101. The placement mechanism includes placement boxes 30 and a drive assembly. Each of the cavities 101 contains a placement box 30 that can slide along the width of the cabinet 10. The cabinet 10 has multiple drive assemblies connected to the placement boxes 30, which drive the placement boxes 30 to slide back and forth.

[0019] In the above embodiment, after the freeze-dried product is poured into the placement box 30, the cavity 101 is sealed by closing the first cabinet door 102, and then the vacuum pump 20 is activated to extract the air in the cavity 101 until a vacuum state is reached. At this time, the freeze-dried product can be stored in a vacuum state. Then, the drive component is activated to drive the placement box 30 to slide back and forth. The back and forth sliding of the placement box 30 can cause the freeze-dried product in the placement box 30 to shake, thereby flattening the freeze-dried product in the placement box 30 in a vacuum state. By storing the freeze-dried product in a vacuum state and performing the flattening operation, the time that the freeze-dried product is exposed to the air is reduced, effectively preventing the freeze-dried product from absorbing the moisture in the air, which would cause the freeze-dried product to soften or even become moldy, thus improving the storage effect of the freeze-dried product.

[0020] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 5 The drive assembly includes a turntable 301, a drive shaft 302, and a bevel gear 303. The turntable 301 is rotatably and sealed on the bottom surface of the cavity 101. A pivot shaft 304 is eccentrically mounted on the top of the turntable 301. A slot 305 is provided at the bottom of the placement box 30. The pivot shaft 304 is slidably mounted in the slot 305. The drive shaft 302 is rotatably mounted on the cabinet 10. A bevel gear 303 is coaxially mounted on one end of the drive shaft 302 and the bottom end of the turntable 301. The two sets of bevel gears 303 mesh, and the other end extends outside the cabinet 10.

[0021] By rotating the drive shaft 302, the rotation of the drive shaft 302 drives the turntable 301 to rotate through the meshing of two sets of bevel gears 303. The rotation of the turntable 301 drives the dial shaft 304 to rotate. The rotation of the dial shaft 304 and its sliding engagement with the dial groove 305 drive the placement box 30 to move back and forth, making the reciprocating movement of the placement box 30 convenient. On the other hand, by moving the placement box 30 upward, the dial shaft 304 is disengaged from the dial groove 305, at which point the placement box 30 can be removed from the cavity 101, thereby removing all the freeze-dried food from the placement box 30, making the removal of the freeze-dried food convenient.

[0022] Based on the above embodiments, a rocker wheel 3021 is further provided at the end of the drive shaft 302 extending outside the cabinet 10. The rocker wheel 3021 facilitates the rotation of the drive shaft 302, making the rotation of the drive shaft 302 convenient and effortless.

[0023] Based on the above embodiments, furthermore, multiple sets of rollers 306 are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the multiple sets of placement boxes 30, and the peripheral sides of the multiple sets of rollers 306 contact the bottom surface of the cavity 101. The multiple sets of rollers 306 can reduce the friction and wear between the placement boxes 30 and the bottom surface of the cavity 101 when the placement boxes 30 slide back and forth, making it easier to drive the placement boxes 30 to slide back and forth and improving the service life of the placement boxes 30.

[0024] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the placement mechanism further includes an adjustment component, and the dial 304 is connected to the turntable 301 through the adjustment component. The adjustment component can adjust the eccentricity of the dial 304.

[0025] In the above embodiments, it can be understood that when the eccentricity of the dial 304 increases, the stroke of the dial 304 rotating and sliding with the dial groove 305 driving the placement box 30 to reciprocate increases; when the eccentricity of the dial 304 decreases, the stroke of the dial 304 rotating and sliding with the dial groove 305 driving the placement box 30 to reciprocate decreases. This facilitates the adjustment of the shaking amplitude of the freeze-dried food in the placement box 30, and further facilitates adjustment according to the amount of freeze-dried food placed in the placement box 30.

[0026] Specifically, the adjustment assembly includes a slider 40 and a screw 401. A groove 307 is provided at the top of the turntable 301. The slider 40 is radially slidable within the groove 307 along the turntable 301. A pivot 304 is mounted on the slider 40. The screw 401 is radially arranged along the turntable 301 and rotatably mounted within the groove 307, and is threadedly connected to the slider 40. By rotating the screw 401 in its threaded engagement with the slider 40, the slider 40 can be driven to move the pivot 304 radially along the turntable 301, adjusting the eccentricity of the pivot 304. Adjusting the eccentricity of the pivot 304 is convenient.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, each of the four corners of the bottom of the cabinet 10 is provided with a caster wheel 103 with a self-locking function. This facilitates moving and fixing the cabinet 10, thereby making it easy to adjust the position of the cabinet 10.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the first cabinet door 102 has multiple through slots 1022 extending along its thickness direction corresponding to multiple cavities 101. Multiple second cabinet doors 104 are hinged to the first cabinet door 102. Each of the multiple second cabinet doors 104 can seal the multiple through slots 1022 and is detachably connected to the first cabinet door 102 via a second lock 1041. Opening the second cabinet door 104 facilitates the individual removal and placement of freeze-dried food from one of the placement boxes 30, avoiding any impact on the freeze-dried food in the other placement boxes 30.

[0029] The specific implementation of the above-mentioned freeze-drying storage device is as follows: After the freeze-dried product is poured into the placement box 30, the cavity 101 is sealed by closing the first cabinet door 102. Then, the vacuum pump 20 is activated to extract the air from the cavity 101 until a vacuum is reached. At this point, the freeze-dried product can be stored under vacuum. Then, by rotating the drive shaft 302, the rotation of the drive shaft 302 drives the turntable 301 to rotate through the meshing of two sets of bevel gears 303. The rotation of the turntable 301 drives the rotating shaft 304 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 304 and the sliding engagement of the rotating groove 305 drive the placement box 30 to move back and forth. The back and forth sliding of the placement box 30 causes the freeze-dried product in the placement box 30 to shake, thereby flattening the freeze-dried product in the vacuum. By storing the freeze-dried product under vacuum and flattening it, the time the freeze-dried product is exposed to air is reduced, effectively preventing the freeze-dried product from absorbing moisture in the air, which would cause it to soften or even mold, thus improving the storage effect of the freeze-dried product.
