Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product processing technology, specifically to a device for drying and shaping sliced ​​Cistanche deserticola. Background Technology

[0002] After Cistanche deserticola matures, to extend its shelf life and medicinal efficacy, it needs to be sliced ​​and then dried to remove moisture. The dried slices can then be sold as the final product. At this stage, the appearance of the slices will influence consumers' final choice. When drying Cistanche deserticola slices, the thickness of the slices is crucial. Slices that are too thin are prone to breakage, while slices that are too thick are difficult to dry. Generally, 3-5mm is suitable. Secondly, due to rapid water loss from the surface and uneven heating, the slices are prone to shrinkage, curling, and edge warping, affecting the appearance of the final product.

[0003] Patent application number 201721403856.9 discloses a drying and shaping device for Cistanche deserticola slices, which is equipped with a lower groove plate and an upper cover plate with holes, clamping the Cistanche deserticola slices in the middle, and using the compression of the two plates to suppress the deformation of the Cistanche deserticola slices during the drying process. However, the above-mentioned patented technical solution has the following disadvantages: (1) Only one layer of slices can be laid between the two plates, and the drying volume is small at one time; (2) When installing the lower groove plate and the upper cover plate, the positioning column and the positioning groove need to be aligned and the slot and the clamping fastener need to be engaged, which is relatively troublesome.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technological solution. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a drying and shaping device for Cistanche deserticola slices that can suppress deformation during drying, thereby improving the appearance of the dried slices, and also allows for larger single-batch drying and simpler operation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a drying and shaping device for sliced ​​Cistanche deserticola, comprising a drying trough with an open top, a horizontal rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the end walls of the drying trough, multiple sets of clamping nets radially connected to the horizontal rotating shaft, and a hot air supply device; the clamping nets consist of fixed nets and hinged nets, the inner frame of the fixed net is fixedly connected to the horizontal rotating shaft, the inner frame of the hinged net is hinged to the inner frame of the fixed net, and the outer frame of the hinged net is connected to the outer frame of the fixed net by a snap fastener; the hot air supply device blows hot air toward the clamping nets and uses the air force to drive the horizontal rotating shaft to rotate.

[0007] Beneficial effects: The clamping net is used to clamp the Cistanche deserticola slices and inhibit slice deformation. The hinged net is hinged to the fixed net on one side and snap-fitted to the other side, making it easy to open and close. The hot air supply device blows hot air toward the clamping net, driving the horizontal rotating shaft to rotate, so that each set of clamping nets can pass through the air outlet to dry the Cistanche deserticola slices on each set of clamping nets. By setting multiple sets of clamping nets on one horizontal rotating shaft, the amount of slices dried at one time is increased.

[0008] Based on the above, the hot air supply equipment includes a hot air blower, two air supply pipes, and a row of hot air outlets connected to the output end of each air supply pipe. The air outlet of the hot air blower is connected to the input end of the two air supply pipes. Valves are respectively installed on the two air supply pipes. The two rows of hot air outlets are respectively located on the two side walls of the drying tank, below the horizontal rotating shaft, and blowing air towards the opposite side walls. During drying, the horizontal rotating shaft is driven to change its rotation direction by switching the on / off state of the two air supply pipes.

[0009] Beneficial effects: The air blowing directions of the two hot air outlets are opposite. By switching the on and off of the two air supply pipes, the horizontal rotating shaft is driven to change its rotation direction, and the slices are dried from both sides, resulting in more uniform heating and further improving the product quality.

[0010] Based on the above, one side wall of the drying tank is set at the same height as the horizontal rotating shaft, and at least two horizontal support rods are hinged to the top of the side wall. The horizontal support rods are turned to the inside of the drying tank to support the fixed net, so as to facilitate feeding.

[0011] Beneficial effects: When feeding, the horizontal support rod is unfolded inward to support the fixed net and provide a point of force. The buckle is opened to lift the hinged net, and the slices of Cistanche deserticola are laid flat on the fixed net. Then, the hinged net is used to cover the slices and locked with the buckle. Finally, the horizontal support rod is retracted, and the horizontal rotating shaft continues to rotate. The operation is repeated to complete the feeding of each set of clamping nets.

[0012] Based on the above, the bottom wall of the drying tank is inclined from one side wall to the other side wall, and a discharge port is opened at the lower part of the bottom wall of the drying tank.

[0013] Beneficial effects: After drying, the clamping meshes of each group are opened, and the slices fall to the bottom of the tank and are discharged from the discharge port, making it convenient to collect the dried finished slices.

[0014] Based on the above, the fixed mesh is recessed 3-5mm below the frame, the hinged mesh is flush with the frame, and there are four sets of clamping mesh, which are arranged at equal intervals.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The fixed mesh is recessed 3-5mm below the frame, allowing only a single layer of Cistanche deserticola slices to be laid flat, thus avoiding slice stacking. The clamping mesh is set in four sets, making it easy to completely lift the hinged mesh. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a drying and shaping device for Cistanche deserticola slices includes a drying trough 1 with an open top, a horizontal rotating shaft 2 rotatably mounted on the end walls of the drying trough 1, multiple sets of clamping nets 3 radially connected to the horizontal rotating shaft 2, and a hot air supply device. The clamping nets 3 consist of a fixed net 31 and a hinged net 32. The inner frame of the fixed net 31 is fixedly connected to the horizontal rotating shaft 1, and the inner frame of the hinged net 32 ​​is hinged to the inner frame of the fixed net 31. The outer frame of the hinged net 32 ​​is connected to the outer frame of the fixed net 31 by snap fasteners 7 (specifically, multiple snap fasteners 7 can be evenly arranged along the length of the outer frame). The fixed net 31 and the hinged net 32 ​​are used to clamp the Cistanche deserticola slices to suppress deformation of the slices during drying.

[0022] The hot air supply device blows hot air toward the clamping mesh 3 and uses the air force to drive the horizontal rotating shaft 2 to rotate. Specifically, the hot air supply device includes a hot air blower (not shown in the figure), two air supply pipes 4, and a row of hot air outlets 5 connected to the output end of each air supply pipe 4 (the air supply pipe 4 and the row of hot air outlets 5 can be connected by a diversion and collection pipe). The air outlet of the hot air blower is connected to the input end of the two air supply pipes 4. Valves 6 are respectively installed on the two air supply pipes 4. The two rows of hot air outlets 5 are respectively installed on the two side walls of the drying tank 1 (the hot air outlets 5 are arranged in a row at equal intervals along the length of the tank wall), located below the horizontal rotating shaft 2, and blowing air toward the opposite side wall. During drying, the horizontal rotating shaft 2 is driven to change its rotation direction by switching the on and off states of the two air supply pipes 4.

[0023] In practical use, the hinged mesh 32 is hinged to the fixed mesh 31 on one side and snapped together on the other side for easy opening and closing. The space between the hinged mesh 32 and the fixed mesh 31 is used to hold the Cistanche deserticola slices and prevent them from deforming. The hot air blower provides a hot air source, and the valve 6 switches the on / off state of the two air supply pipes 4 to select which row of hot air outlets 5 to output the hot air. Since most of the mesh holes on the clamped mesh 3 are blocked by the slices, the hot air can drive the horizontal rotating shaft 2 to rotate, so that each set of clamped meshes 3 can pass through the air outlet to dry the Cistanche deserticola slices on each set of clamped meshes 3. The two rows of hot air outlets 5 can provide hot air in opposite directions, which can drive the horizontal rotating shaft 2 to change its rotation direction and dry the slices from both sides, resulting in more uniform heating and further improving the product quality.

[0024] To facilitate loading, one side wall of the drying tank 1 is set at the same height as the horizontal rotating shaft 2. At least two horizontal support rods 8 are hinged to the top of this side wall. These horizontal support rods 8 rotate to the inside of the drying tank 1 and support the fixed net 31. During loading, the horizontal support rods 8 are unfolded inward to support the fixed net 31 and provide a point of force. The buckle 7 is opened to lift the hinged net 32, and the sliced ​​Cistanche deserticola is laid flat on the fixed net 31. The hinged net 32 ​​is then placed on top of the slices and locked with the buckle 7. Finally, the horizontal support rods 7 are retracted, and the horizontal rotating shaft 2 continues to rotate. This operation is repeated to complete the loading of each set of clamping nets 3.

[0025] To facilitate the collection of dried finished slices, the bottom wall of the drying tank 1 is inclined from one side to the other, and a discharge port 9 is provided at the lower part of the bottom wall of the drying tank 1. After drying, the clamping nets 3 of each group are opened, and the slices fall to the bottom of the tank and are discharged from the discharge port 9.

[0026] Preferably, the mesh surface 33 of the fixed mesh 31 is recessed 3-5mm below the frame, and the mesh surface 33 of the hinged mesh 32 is flush with the frame. This allows only a single layer of Cistanche deserticola slices to be laid flat, avoiding stacking of slices. There are four sets of clamping meshes 3, which are arranged at equal intervals to facilitate lifting the hinged meshes 32 completely when feeding.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
