Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drying unit controlled by humidity,

The present invention relates to a drying apparatus controlled by humidity, and more particularly, to a drying apparatus controlled by humidity, and more particularly, to a drying apparatus which is controlled by humidity, and when a drying object such as agricultural and marine products is dehumidified and dried with high efficiency, To a drying device controlled by humidity so as to maintain a dry state.

In general, since agricultural products such as rice, barley, and pepper harvested from mountain areas and fishes such as fish caught in fishing villages have a large moisture content, drying is essential for storage and transportation until reaching consumers.

In other words, various agricultural and marine products are easy to multiply microorganisms and easily corroded. Therefore, in order to improve the preservability of such agricultural and marine products, agricultural and marine products must be dried at a predetermined temperature and for a certain period of time.

Especially, in the case of aquatic products caught, since corruption progresses faster than agricultural products, the aquatic products caught are frozen and stored in a frozen state, and thawed and dried during processing.

On the other hand, as a method of drying a small amount of agricultural and marine products, there is a method in which a drying band formed as a mesh is installed in a certain area in most cases, and various agricultural and marine products are displayed on the drying band thus installed, followed by natural drying with sunlight and wind.

However, the natural drying method not only occupies a large occupied area but also has a very low drying speed, and it is inconvenient to quickly collect agricultural and marine products in case of snow or rain.

As a result, the natural drying method has many disadvantages such as a decrease in productivity and a deterioration in commerciality, because the drying speed, drying amount, and dryness of the agricultural and marine products can not be kept constant.

In view of this, recently, as a means for drying, harvesting, harvesting, harvesting, and harvesting of fishes harvested in rural areas such as agricultural products, red pepper, rice and fishes caught in fishing villages and frozen for a long period of time, A number of agricultural and marine products drying devices are being developed.

In this regard, a number of techniques are disclosed, including registration No. 0419355, registration number 1317086, registration number 1302249, and the like.

However, as in the example of FIG. 1, since the objects to be dried are installed on the stacked tray 10, the heat generated in the air conditioning unit 20 is not efficiently transferred, Which is not only deteriorated in quality due to falling and drying, but also has a disadvantage that it is also corroded in some cases.

In particular, the agricultural products such as pepper must maintain the proper drying degree, and the relatively less dried lower part of the dried part is easy to decay while being dried, and even if it is dried, a quality deviation occurs, which causes a problem that it is not received.

In addition, the drying time is not controlled according to the water content of the agricultural product, but the drying time is uniformly operated using the timer, so that there is a limit to drying the agricultural product in an optimal state.

In addition, since the embodiments according to the concept of the present invention can make various changes and have various forms, specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail herein. However, it should be understood that the embodiments according to the concept of the present invention are not intended to limit the present invention to specific modes of operation, but include all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the humidity-controlled agricultural and marine product drying apparatus according to the present invention includes a drying housing 100.

At this time, the drying housing 100 is provided with a drying chamber 200 for rotating and drying the laundry to be dried, and an air conditioning chamber 300 for supplying hot air to the drying chamber 200, (EN) An air inlet (IN) and an air outlet (OUT) are formed in such a manner that upper and lower sides of the contact surface are communicated with each other, do.

In addition, the air inlet IN is a passage through which the air dried in the drying chamber 200 is sucked into the air conditioning chamber 300, and the air outlet OUT is a path through which the hot air generated in the air- (200).

The drying chamber 210 is provided in the drying chamber 200. The drying chamber 210 is a separate housing and is mounted on the bottom surface of the drying chamber 200, And is spaced apart from the inner wall.

The front, rear, and upper portions of the drying chamber 210 constitute a front air passage 220a, a rear air passage 220b, and an upper air passage 220c through which air can flow.

In particular, the hot air guide 230 is installed in the front air passage 220a. The hot air guide 230 is connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber 200 facing the air conditioner 300, which is the front air passage 220a, The drying chamber 210 is installed between the outer walls.

In addition, a plurality of front and rear chamber air holes 212a and 212b, through which air can pass, are formed on the front and rear surfaces of the drying chamber 210, respectively.

In addition, the hot air guide 230 has at least one communication port 232 communicating with the air outlet OUT, and the hot air guide 230 is connected to the communication hole 232a through the communication hole 232 And the inner flow path is enlarged.

The reason why the internal flow path of the hot air guide 230 is enlarged starting from the communication port 232 is that a relatively large space is provided around the communication port 232 and a relatively narrow space is provided farther from the communication port 232 So that the hot air discharged through the communication port 232 spreads to a long distance so that the air discharged through the plurality of the front pores 212a is as uniform as possible.

The drying chamber 210 is not shown in FIG. 2 because it is a vertical sectional view of FIG. 2, but it is a matter of course that a door that opens and closes in a direction orthogonal to the front pore 212a is provided. Or the door of the drying chamber 200 and the door of the drying chamber 210 may be shared and opened and closed by a single door.

2 and 3, the rotary shaft 240 is rotatably mounted and fixed to both sides of the drying chamber 210. The rotary shaft 240 is installed so as not to interfere with the door described above .

In addition, the rotating shaft 240 may be rotated by a small-sized motor, but is preferably installed in a non-powered manner. That is, the driving source is not separately provided, but is configured to be rotated only by the flow of hot air.

To this end, a cylindrical center gear box 242 is rotatably fixed by a ball bearing 244 at the center of the length of the rotating shaft 240.

In addition, four fixed frames 246 are integrally fixed to the center gear box 242 at regular intervals, preferably at intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction, and each of the fixed frames 246 The side gear box 248 is integrally fixed.

At this time, the fixed frame 246 may be a hollow pipe member or a cylindrical pipe member whose interior is hollow.

The center gear box 242 is provided with a first bevel gear 250 that is key-fixed to the rotating shaft 240. The first bevel gear 250 is provided with a plurality of Four second bevel gears 252 are coupled to each other.

In Fig. 3, however, only two of the upper and lower sides are shown due to the characteristics of the side cross-section.

The bevel gear shaft 254 is integrally fixed to the second bevel gear 252 and the bevel gear shaft 254 is coupled to the rotation shaft 240 with the center gear box 242 fixed to the bearing. And is rotatably arranged in the fixed frame 246 through the center gear box 242 in a direction orthogonal to the side gear box 248. The other end of the side gear box 248 is fixed to the side gear box 248 ).

The third bevel gear 256 is integrally fixed to an end portion exposed to the inside of the side gear box 248 and the third bevel gear 256 is rotatably installed inside the side gear box 248 And is engaged with the fourth bevel gear 258.

4 is inserted into the gear shaft 260 of the fourth bevel gear 258 and is fixed by a key.

The gear ratio between the first bevel gear 250 and the second bevel gear 252, the third bevel gear 256 and the fourth bevel gear 258 may be appropriately adjusted, It is preferable that the fourth bevel gear 258 is rotated once when the gear 250 makes one rotation, so that the tray 400 described later can be smoothly inverted.

For example, the gear ratio between the first bevel gear 250 and the second bevel gear 252 is 2: 1, and the third bevel gear 256 and the fourth bevel gear 258 ) Is 1: 2 so that the above condition can be satisfied. If the gear teeth ratio is adjusted, the fourth bevel gear 258, to which the tray 400 is fixed when the first bevel gear 250 makes one rotation, may be rotated twice. When the first bevel gear 250 rotates 180 degrees, the first bevel gear 250 is turned by one rotation and turned back by 360 degrees.

4, the tray shaft 410 is integrated with the tray 400 through a plurality of supports 412 on one side of the tray 400. As shown in FIG.

The tray 400 includes a tray frame 420 forming a skeleton-shaped skeleton, a mesh network 430 for enclosing the tray frame 420 to prevent the laundry to be stored therein from being dislodged, The upper surface of the tray 400 includes a zipper 440 connected to the periphery to be opened.

Accordingly, when the zipper 440 is closed while the zipper 440 is opened and the laundry is stored in the tray 400, the laundry is safely stored on the tray 400.

In particular, it is preferable that the mesh 430 has a very excellent air permeability because it surrounds the net 430, but it is not separated, and it is preferable that the height is adjusted so as to spread and spread the dried material widely.

On the other hand, an ultraviolet sterilizer 500 is installed on the inner ceiling of the drying chamber 210.

The ultraviolet sterilizer 500 is for sterilizing the object to be dried, and the object to be dried is rotated 360 ° in a state of being loaded in the tray 400. In particular, when the ultraviolet sterilizer 500 is passed through the ultraviolet sterilizer 500, It is possible to uniformly sterilize the entire object to be dried.

At this time, the ultraviolet sterilizer 500 may be designed to operate by sensing the tray 400. However, when the tray 400 receives the hot air and the rotation shaft 240 rotates in a non- (240) is operated only when it is turned.

Such control may be performed through a controller (not shown) installed on a part of the outer surface of the drying chamber 200.

The side gear box 248 may be further provided with a humidity sensor S on its upper surface to communicate with the controller so that the air conditioning parts of the air conditioner 300 are operated only at a predetermined humidity or higher.

In addition, an intake fan 600 connected to the controller is installed on the upper air passage 220c so that hot air dried by the drying object is sucked and returned to the air conditioning chamber 300. On the upper air passage 220c, The dehumidifier 610 is installed to remove the moisture remaining in the air returned to the air conditioning chamber 300 by the intake fan 600 so as to lower the humidity. In particular, they are all designed to be synchronized and driven together under the control of the controller, and designed to stop together.

In addition, the upper air passage 220c communicates with the air inlet IN described above.

On the other hand, in the air conditioning chamber 300, the upper space and the lower space are completely separated by the partition 310 to block the upper air from affecting the lower space, and only the discharge end of the blower 350 It is particularly preferable that the hot air supplied through the blower is completely separated.

This is to maximize drying efficiency by minimizing heat loss.

The compressor 320, the condenser 330, the expansion valve (not shown), the evaporator 340, and the compressor 320 may be connected to each other through a pipe, The air sucked in the drying chamber 200 is dehumidified while being in contact with the evaporator 340. The high temperature generated in the condenser 330 is sucked into the blower 350 to be supplied to the drying chamber 200 do.

At this time, if the hot air temperature drops to a certain temperature, for example, 27 or less, which is a proper drying temperature, a heater 360 may be further installed for forcibly heating the heater 360. The position of the heater 360 is preferably close to the air outlet OUT Do.

As described above, the drying apparatus according to the present invention has the advantages of uniformly drying as a whole since the dried object is completely turned over while being rotated, shortening the drying time, and drying efficiency.

In particular, when the distribution of the humidity is detected and the temperature is higher than the set value, the air conditioner of the air conditioner 300 is operated and hot air is supplied to the drying chamber 210 to dry the laundry in an optimal state.

In addition, since the laundry 400 is inverted 360 ° together with the tray 400 in which the laundry is stored, the laundry is evenly and uniformly dried, so that the laundry does not fall off due to partial pressing,

For example, when the humidity is high according to the detection value of the humidity detection sensor S, the air conditioner of the air conditioner 300 is driven.

That is, the compressor 320 and the blower 350 are driven. At the same time, the ultraviolet sterilizer 500, the intake fan 600, and the dehumidifier 610 are also driven.

Of course, this process assumes that the worker has already placed the laundry on the tray 400.

Then, the hot air generated in the air conditioning chamber 300 is discharged into the drying chamber 210 through the front pore holes 212a.

Accordingly, the airflow changes inside the drying chamber 210, which interferes with the tray 400 and pushes the tray 400, so that the tray 400 which is easy to rotate is naturally rotated in the flow direction of the airflow.

Since the fourth bevel gear 258 is fixed to the gear shaft 260, the fourth bevel gear 258 is rotated and the third bevel gear 256 The bevel gear shaft 254, the second bevel gear 252, the first bevel gear 250, and the rotating shaft 240 are rotationally driven.

Therefore, as described above, the rotary shaft 240 rotates within a constant gear ratio, and the tray 400 is rotated to allow the laundry to be evenly exposed to hot air.

Particularly, in the illustrated example, the tray 400 is rotated by one half when the rotating shaft 240 makes one rotation, so that when the rotating shaft 240 rotates twice, the tray 400 rotates once The housed article can be completely reversed once.

As described above, the present invention has a tray 400 that is rotated only by hot air without any additional power, and by loading the tray 400 with the article to be dried, it is possible to uniformly dry the front, back, Thus, the quality of the dried product is remarkably improved.
