Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili sauce production, and in particular to auxiliary equipment for chili drying in chili sauce production and processing. Background Technology

[0002] Before producing chili sauce, the chili raw materials must be thoroughly cleaned to remove surface dust, and then dried using a drying rack to facilitate subsequent crushing and processing, ensuring the hygienic quality of the chili sauce and the smoothness of the processing flow.

[0003] However, this traditional method of drying peppers by relying on natural ventilation, which involves densely piling peppers on drying racks, has obvious drawbacks. Because the peppers are piled together, the peppers at the bottom are blocked by the upper ones, resulting in poor ventilation and difficulty in effectively evaporating moisture. Especially in humid or rainy seasons, the peppers at the bottom are more prone to dampness and mold, which seriously affects the quality of the peppers and the subsequent processing results. In addition, this traditional air-drying method is not only time-consuming, but also results in uneven drying. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problems of traditional air-drying methods, such as poor ventilation caused by stacking chilies, which makes the bottom layer of chilies damp and moldy, uneven drying effect, and long drying time.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: chili drying auxiliary equipment for chili sauce production and processing, including a drying box with an inner cavity and support feet fixed to the bottom of the drying box. At least two independent air supply units are symmetrically arranged on the top of the drying box. Ventilation channels communicating with the inner cavity are opened through the left and right side walls of the drying box. A detachable frame-type placement rack is provided in the inner cavity. The placement rack is equipped with a horizontal placement plate. The surface of the placement plate has positioning grooves for accommodating chilies. Airflow channels are arranged through the bottom array of the positioning grooves. Synchronous displacement modules are respectively provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the placement plate. The synchronous displacement module includes a parallel linear movement component and a guide constraint component linked with it. The linear movement component and the guide constraint component are connected to a heating and dehydration unit. The heat radiation surface of the heating and dehydration unit faces the plane of the placement plate. The linear movement component causes the two sets of heating and dehydration units to reciprocate linearly in the same direction above and below the placement plate, and the movement trajectory covers all positioning groove areas on the surface of the placement plate.

[0006] Preferably, the linear moving assembly includes a fixed seat disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the placement plate, a cavity is provided in the fixed seat, a bearing seat is provided on one inner wall of the cavity, a servo motor is provided on one outer wall of the fixed seat, a reciprocating screw connected to the output shaft of the servo motor is rotatably connected in the bearing seat, and a moving seat connected to the heating and dewatering unit is provided on the outer wall of the reciprocating screw.

[0007] Preferably, the guide constraint assembly includes a second fixed seat disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the placement plate, a second cavity is provided in the fixed seat, a guide rail is provided on the side wall of the second cavity, a guide block is slidably connected on the guide rail, and the end face of the guide block is connected to the side end of the movable seat.

[0008] Preferably, the heating and dehydration unit includes a mounting slot provided in the movable seat, in which an infrared heater for drying the surface of the chili peppers is installed.

[0009] Preferably, the air supply unit includes a through slot at the top of the inner cavity, and a fan with a built-in power supply is installed in the through slot, which generates airflow in the inner cavity.

[0010] Preferably, the upper and lower surfaces of the placement plate are provided with the same slots, and a support rod is inserted into the slot. The bottom support rod has a support block at its end that contacts the bottom of the inner cavity. Magnets are provided in both the slots and the support rods, and the support rods are magnetically connected to the slots.

[0011] As a preferred option, the front end of the drying chamber is hinged with two doors, the surface of which is equipped with handles, and the interior of which is inlaid with glass.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] The synchronous displacement module drives the heating and dehydration unit to reciprocate linearly above and below the placement plate. This not only accelerates the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the peppers through direct heat radiation, but also ensures that each pepper is heated evenly through reciprocating motion, effectively avoiding defects such as local overheating or underheating. At the same time, combined with the air flow generated by the air supply unit, the evaporated moisture is carried away in time, achieving a fast and efficient air-drying effect.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6This utility model provides an embodiment of a chili drying auxiliary device for chili sauce production and processing, including a drying box 2 with an inner cavity 1 and support feet 3 fixed to the bottom of the drying box 2. At least two independent air supply units are symmetrically arranged on the top of the drying box 2. Ventilation channels 4 communicating with the inner cavity 1 are opened through the left and right side walls of the drying box 2. A detachable frame-type placement rack is provided in the inner cavity 1. The placement rack is equipped with a horizontal placement plate 5. Positioning grooves 6 for accommodating chilies are opened on the surface of the placement plate 5. Airflow channels 7 are arrayed through the bottom of the positioning grooves 6. Synchronous displacement modules are respectively provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the placement plate 5. The synchronous displacement module includes parallel linear moving components and... The guiding constraint component and linear movement component, which are linked together, are connected to the heating and dehydration unit. The heat radiation surface of the heating and dehydration unit faces the plane of the placement plate 5. The linear movement component causes the two sets of heating and dehydration units to reciprocate linearly in the same direction above and below the placement plate 5, and the movement trajectory covers all the positioning grooves 6 on the surface of the placement plate 5. The drying chamber 2 is the main structure of the entire chili drying auxiliary equipment. Its interior forms an inner cavity 1, which provides a relatively independent and closed space for the chili drying process. The air supply unit can ensure the uniform distribution of airflow in the chamber. The uniform airflow can remove the moisture from the surface of the chili, accelerate the drying process, and improve the drying effect. The ventilation ducts 4 are used to achieve The air circulation inside and outside the drying chamber 2 creates a good ventilation cycle. The placement plate 5 is used to horizontally place the chilies. The surface of the placement plate 5 has positioning grooves 6 to accommodate the chilies. The design of the positioning grooves 6 allows for the storage of chilies, ensuring that each chili is fully exposed to the airflow for uniform drying. Airflow channels 7 are arrayed through the bottom of the positioning grooves 6, allowing air supplied by the air supply unit to directly pass through the placement plate 5, fully contacting the surface of the chilies, removing moisture, and improving the drying effect. The linear moving component is the part in the synchronous displacement module that realizes the linear movement of the heating and dehydration unit. Under the constraint of the guide rail 16, it can only move linearly along the screw axis, thereby driving the heating and dehydration unit... The placement plate 5 moves in the same direction, reciprocating linear motion. After the heating and dehydration unit is powered on, it generates heat and transfers the heat to the peppers on the placement plate 5 in the form of thermal radiation. The thermal radiation can directly act on the surface of the peppers, raising their temperature and accelerating the evaporation of moisture. At the same time, combined with the air flow delivered by the air supply unit, the evaporated moisture is carried away in time, achieving a fast and efficient air-drying effect. The two sets of heating and dehydration units move in the same direction, reciprocating linear motion, and the movement trajectory covers all the positioning grooves 6 on the surface of the placement plate 5, ensuring that each pepper is heated evenly and avoiding local overheating or underheating, thus ensuring the quality and consistency of the dried peppers.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 - Figure 5In this embodiment, the linear movement assembly includes a fixed seat 8 disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the placement plate 5. A cavity 9 is formed within the fixed seat. A bearing seat 10 is disposed on one inner wall of the cavity 9. A servo motor 11 is disposed on one outer wall of the fixed seat 8. A reciprocating screw 12, rotatably connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 11, is rotatably connected within the bearing seat 10. A movable seat 13, connected to the heating and dewatering unit, is disposed on the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 12. The guide constraint assembly includes a fixed seat 14 disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the placement plate 5. A cavity 15 is formed within the fixed seat. A guide rail 16 is disposed on the side wall of the cavity 15. A guide block 17 is slidably connected to the guide rail 16. The end face of the guide block 17 is connected to the side end of the movable seat 13. The heating and dewatering unit... The linear motion assembly includes a mounting slot 18 within the movable base 13, housing an infrared heater 19 for drying the chili pepper surface. An air supply unit includes a through-slot at the top of the inner cavity 1, housing a fan 20 with a built-in power supply. The fan 20 generates airflow within the inner cavity 1. A fixed base 8 provides the mounting foundation for the various components of the linear motion assembly, and its internal cavity 9 provides space for the installation and movement of subsequent components. A bearing housing 10 supports and positions the reciprocating screw 12, capable of withstanding the radial and axial forces generated during rotation. Simultaneously, the bearing housing 10 ensures the smoothness and coaxiality of the reciprocating screw 12's rotation. A servo motor 11 serves as the power source for the linear motion assembly, and the output of the servo motor 11... The shaft is connected to the reciprocating lead screw 12. By controlling the rotation direction and speed of the servo motor 11, the rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 12 can be precisely controlled. When the servo motor 11 drives the reciprocating lead screw 12 to rotate, due to the special thread design of the reciprocating lead screw 12, the movable seat 13, which is threadedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw 12, will perform reciprocating linear motion in the axial direction. The movable seat 13 is connected to the heating and dehydration unit. Driven by the reciprocating lead screw 12, it performs reciprocating linear motion along the axial direction of the reciprocating lead screw 12, thereby driving the heating and dehydration unit to achieve the function of heating and dehydrating the chili peppers. The fixed seat 14 provides installation support for the guide constraint assembly. The cavity 15 opened inside it provides space for the installation and movement of the guide rail 16 and the guide block 17. The guide rail 16 provides support for the guide block 17. A sliding track is provided. When the guide block 17 slides on the guide rail 16, it can restrict the movement direction of the moving seat 13, making it only able to move in a straight line along the axis of the guide rail 16, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the moving seat 13. The mounting groove 18 provides installation space for the infrared heater 19, ensuring that the infrared heater 19 is firmly installed on the moving seat 13. The infrared heater 19 is used to dry the surface of the chili peppers. After the infrared heater 19 is powered on, it can convert electrical energy into infrared radiation energy, which acts directly on the surface of the chili peppers. The infrared radiation can be absorbed by the surface of the chili peppers and converted into heat energy, raising the temperature of the chili peppers and accelerating the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the chili peppers. At the same time, the linear moving component drives the infrared heater 19 to reciprocate linearly above and below the placement plate 5.This design ensures that each chili pepper receives uniform infrared radiation heating, preventing localized overheating or underheating. The through-slot provides space for the installation of the fan 20, which powers the airflow within the drying chamber 2. When the fan 20 operates, it creates an airflow with a certain speed and volume, which carries away the moisture evaporated from the chili pepper's surface, accelerating the drying process.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the upper and lower surfaces of the placement plate 5 are provided with identical slots 21. A support rod 22 is inserted into the slot 21. The bottom support rod 22 has a support block 23 at its end that contacts the bottom of the inner cavity 1. Magnets are provided in both the slot 21 and the support rod 22, and the support rod 22 is magnetically connected to the slot 21. Two doors 24 are hinged to the front end of the drying box 2. The surface of the doors 24 is provided with handles 25, and glass 26 is embedded in the doors 24. The slots 21 provide insertion positions for the support rods 22, ensuring that the support rods 22 are accurately and stably inserted into the slots 21. In the middle, the magnets set in the slot 21 and the support rod 22 cooperate with each other, and the connection stability between the support rod 22 and the slot 21 is further enhanced by the magnetic force, preventing the support rod 22 from loosening. The design of the slot 21 allows the support rod 22 to be flexibly installed and disassembled according to actual needs, which makes it easy for operators to adjust the support structure of the placement plate 5 according to the batch size and placement method of the peppers. The door 24 serves to close the drying chamber 2. The glass 26 is embedded in the door 24, allowing the operator to observe the drying of the peppers in the drying chamber 2 without opening the door 24.

[0025] Working principle: First, the washed peppers are evenly placed on the frame-type rack inside the drying box 2. The peppers are positioned in the positioning grooves 6 of the placement plate 5 to ensure that each pepper is fully exposed.

[0026] Next, the servo motor 11 is started, and the moving seat 13 is driven by the reciprocating screw 12 to make reciprocating linear motion under the constraint of the guide rail 16, which drives the infrared heater 19 to move synchronously above and below the placement plate 5. At the same time, the power is turned on so that the infrared heater 19 generates heat radiation, which directly acts on the surface of the chili pepper to accelerate its moisture evaporation.

[0027] At the same time, the fan 20 in the air supply unit starts to work, and by sending a uniform airflow into the inner cavity 1, the airflow passes through the airflow channel 7 of the placement plate 5 and comes into full contact with the surface of the chili pepper, further removing the evaporated moisture. Throughout the drying process, the ventilation channel 4 ensures the circulation of air inside and outside the drying box 2, forming a good ventilation cycle.

[0028] Once the chili peppers have reached the desired dryness, turn off the heating and dehydration unit and the air supply unit, open the chamber door 24, and remove the dried chili peppers for the next step of crushing.

[0029] Through the above steps, the synchronous displacement module drives the heating and dehydration unit to reciprocate, using heat radiation to accelerate the evaporation of moisture from the chili peppers and ensure uniform heating, avoiding local overheating or underheating. In conjunction with the air supply unit, moisture is removed in time, achieving efficient air drying. This solves the problems of traditional air drying methods, such as poor ventilation caused by stacking chili peppers, which easily leads to dampness and mold on the bottom layer of chili peppers, uneven drying effect, and long drying time.
