TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drying devices, in particular to a butter inhibitor production device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Freeze drying is a drying method that uses the principle of ice crystal sublimation to remove water from frozen solid materials or liquid phase without melting, and directly sublimate into vapor in a high vacuum environment. The water vapor generated by sublimation is removed by a condenser. The sublimation process requires the heat of vaporization, which is generally supplied by heat radiation. This drying method can be carried out at room temperature and low temperature to meet the drying requirements of heat-sensitive materials; at the same time, it also eliminates the osmotic pressure generated by the change from liquid to gas, which causes the material to agglomerate, and can to some extent avoid the hard agglomeration of the material and maintain the porous structure of the material.
[0003] For example, a device for ultra-fast non-agglomerating vacuum freeze drying through vibration mixing is provided in Chinese Patent No. CN113606879B. Although this device provides a design scheme for a wet material freeze drying device under vibration for fast sublimation drying, the essence of sublimation under high vacuum is the transfer of heat from the surface of the ice block to the inside layer by layer. The speed of heat transfer is limited by the small surface area of the ice block and the static state. Due to the different particle sizes of the same batch of materials and the different quantities of particles of different sizes in different batches of materials, the materials cannot be fully dried during drying.

[0057] First intermittent vibration: the motor rotates to make the second baffle 320 and the third baffle 330 corresponding to the rope winding shaft 231 rotate, the second main rope 362 and the third main rope 363 are wound, the second main rope 362 drives the second auxiliary rope 372 to move downward, and then the second baffle 320 is bent. The third main rope 363 drives the third auxiliary rope 373 to move downward, and then drives the third baffle 330 to bend. The bending degree of the third baffle 330 is greater than that of the second baffle 320, that is, the area of the second sieve hole is greater than that of the first sieve hole at this time.
[0058] Start the high acceleration vibration control system, and the drying kettle 100 starts to vibrate. Under the action of vibration, the small particle materials in the second cavity come to the first cavity through the first sieve hole, and the medium particle and large particle materials come to the third cavity through the bent second baffle 320. Most of the small and medium particles remain in the second cavity, and a small part of the small and medium particles come to the third cavity.
[0059] The small particle materials and the small and medium particle materials in the third cavity come to the second cavity through the second sieve hole, and the small particle materials will then come to the first cavity through the first sieve hole. After a period of vibration, the small particle materials enter the first cavity, the small and medium particle materials enter the second cavity, and the medium particle and large particle materials enter the third cavity.
[0060] Second intermittent vibration: the first baffle 310 and the fourth baffle 340 corresponding to the rope winding shaft 231 are rotated again, the first main rope 361 drives the first auxiliary rope 371 to move downward, the first baffle 310 is bent, the fourth main rope 364 drives the fourth auxiliary rope 374 to move downward, and then the fourth baffle 340 is bent. At this time, the area of the third sieve hole is greater than that of the second sieve hole. Continue to vibrate the drying kettle 100, and the large particles in the third cavity come to the fourth cavity through the third sieve hole. After a period of vibration, the small particle materials enter the first cavity, the small and medium particle materials enter the second cavity, the medium particles enter the third cavity, and the large particle materials enter the fourth cavity.
[0061] The first intermittent vibration and the second intermittent vibration are cycled until the small particle materials completely enter the first cavity, the small and medium particle materials completely enter the second cavity, the medium particles completely enter the third cavity, and the large particle materials completely enter the fourth cavity.
[0062] After the materials are sorted by size, the cooling and heating circulation system is activated, filling the coils of hot and cold medium with liquid. This heats the materials inside the drying kettle 100. Because the liquid inlet is close to the fourth cavity, where the material particles are largest, larger particles receive more heat, resulting in more uniform drying. The water vapor generated by sublimation is removed through a condensation system.
[0063] The proportion of various particles in different batches of materials may vary. The weight of the material in each cavity is measured by the weight sensors on each stepped surface. If the weight distribution is uneven and does not reach the preset level, the rotation angle of each motor is adjusted by the controller, thereby adjusting the curvature of the first baffle 310, the second baffle 320, the third baffle 330 and the fourth baffle 340, and adjusting the size of the first sieve hole, the second sieve hole and the third sieve hole, so that the weight of the material in each cavity is uniform, thereby improving the vibration dispersion effect of the material in each area, and thus improving the drying effect.
[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
