Abstract

An automatic opening and locking device of a dewatering tank using carbon dioxide for fruits and vegetables opens, closes and rotates a cover of the tank by hydraulic or air cylinders. The cover(7) is fixed on the tank body(2) by means of jaws(7-2) and clamping grooves(2-1) and is tightened up with the tank body through rotating. The jaws are set on the cover and the clamping grooves are set on the tank body. A cover automatic opening-closing device and a cover automatic screwing device are set between the cover and the tank body.

Description

DEVICE FOR OPENING AND AUTOMATIC CLOSURE OF DEHYDRATION TANK USING CARBON DIOXIDE FOR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES Field of the Invention The invention relates to food processing equipment and medicines, in particular to a dehydration tank used for a dehydration process of carbon dioxide of fruits, vegetables and Chinese medicinal plant.

Background of the Invention With a growing global focus on natural, healthy and convenient foods, dehydrated fruits and vegetables, which are natural, green, healthy and portable and that can remain. fresh for a prolonged period, they are becoming increasingly popular. The Chinese medicinal plant collected undergoes dehydration before storage, since the dehydrated Chinese medicinal plant is convenient to pack and transport and is suitable for long-term storage. Currently, dehydration by drying at high temperature with an oven and drying by freezing at low vacuum temperature are the common procedures for plant dehydration. The applicant has invented a carbon dioxide dehydration procedure for fruits, vegetables and plant Ref.:237013 Chinese medicine, and sent an application for a patent for invention to the Department of Patent Administration. The dehydration tank is critical for the process of carbon dioxide dehydration. Due to the variety of Chinese fruits, vegetables and medicinal plants, the carbon dioxide dehydration procedure requires that a dehydration tank be large, resistant to high pressure, and equipped with the tank cover that is convenient to open and close.

Summary of the Invention To meet the above technical requirements, the invention provides an automatic tank opening and closing device for a carbon dioxide dehydration tank for fruits and vegetables. The automatic tank opening and closing device uses a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder to open and close the tank cover, and uses another hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder to drive the tank cover to rotate, to achieve the function of closing the tank cover .

The invention adopts the following technical solution: the invention provides an automatic tank opening and closing device for a dehydration tank of carbon dioxide for fruits and vegetables, the tank cover of the dehydration tank is mounted on a tank body to through a clamping slot and a clamping jaw, and the tank cover rotates to connect closely with the tank body; the automatic tank opening and closing device is characterized in that the gripping groove is formed on the tank body, and the gripping jaw is disposed on the tank cover; and an automatic tank cover opening and closing device and a tank cover screwing device are disposed between the tank body and the tank cover.

The automatic tank cover opening and closing device consists of a cover opening cylinder and a rotating arm; the cylinder body of the cover opening cylinder is articulated with a support I, and the support I is fixed on the outer wall of the tank body; the rotating arm is a triangular structure, the lower end of the rotating arm is articulated with a support II, and the support II is fixed on the outer wall of the tank port; The outer side of the upper part of the rotating arm is articulated with the piston rod of the cover opening cylinder, and the inner cylinder of the upper part of the rotating arm is connected to the tank cover via a connecting rod.

The connecting rod is a solid cylinder, the lower end of the connecting rod is fixed at the center of the upper end of the tank cover, and the upper end of the connecting rod is inserted into the hole on the rotating arm in A form of sliding fit and fixed through bolts.

The tank cover closing device consists of a cover closing cylinder, a support III and an IV support; the support III is fixed on the tank cover, and the support IV is fixed on the tank body; and the cylinder body of the cover closing cylinder is articulated with the support IV, and the piston rod of the cover closing cylinder is articulated with the support III.

The invention has the following benefits: 1. Hydraulic cylinders are used to open or close the tank cover and to close the tank, to save time and labor, safety is good and production efficiency is high. 2. The structure is compact, installation and maintenance are convenient, and the service life is long.

Brief Description of the Figures The following is a detailed description of the invention in combination with the appended figures and a specific embodiment.

Detailed description of the invention As shown in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3, the invention provides an automatic tank opening and closing device for a dehydration tank of carbon dioxide for fruits and vegetables, the similarity between the dehydration tank and a pressure cooker is that the tank cover 7 of the dewatering tank is fastened on a tank body 2 through a holding groove 2-1 and a holding jaw 7-2, and the tank cover 7 is threaded to connect closely within the tank body 2; the difference between the dehydration tank and the pressure cooker is that the holding groove 2-1 is formed at the upper end of the tank body 2, and the holding jaw is disposed on the tank cover 7. An opening device and automatic tank cover closure and a tank cover screwing device are arranged between tank body 2 and tank cover 7.

A tank cover opening and closing device consists of a cover opening cylinder 4 and a rotary arm 6; the cylinder body of the cover opening cylinder 4 is connected to the tank body 2 through a support I 3; the swivel arm 6 is a triangular structure, and the lower end of the swivel arm is articulated with a support II 5; the support II 5 is fixed on the outer wall of the tank body 2; the outer side in the upper part of the rotating arm 6 is articulated with the piston rod of the cover opening cylinder 4, and the inner side in the upper part of the rotating arm 6 is connected to the tank cover 7 through a connection bar 7-1.

The connecting bar 7-1 is a solid cylinder, the lower end of the connecting rod is fixed at the center of the upper end of the tank cover 7, and the upper end of the connecting bar 7-1 is inserted into the a hole on the rotary arm 6 in a sliding fit form and fixed through bolts 7-3.

The tank cover closing device consists of a cover closing cylinder 9, a support III 8 and a support IV 10; the support III 8 is fixed on the tank cover 7; the support IV 10 is fixed on the tank body 2; the cylinder body of the cover closing cylinder 9 is articulated with the support IV 10; and the piston rod of the cover closing cylinder 9 is articulated with the support III 8.

The cover opening cylinder 4 and the cover closing cylinder 9 can be hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders.
