AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the heating efficiency of spray dryers used for drying Chinese medicine is limited when the heater is initially started, resulting in a low temperature inside the drying tower, which leads to incomplete drying of the medicinal liquid and easy adhesion of materials to the inner wall of the drying tower.
A spray dryer for drying traditional Chinese medicine was designed, featuring a circular support and sealing components. When the temperature meets the target, it switches to a single-cylinder working mode to shorten the movement path of the Chinese medicine liquid; when the temperature does not meet the target, it switches to a circulating working mode, using a circulating fan to drive airflow and increase the drying time of the medicine liquid; and a scraper structure is used to prevent material adhesion.
This improves the drying efficiency of traditional Chinese medicine liquid, avoids incomplete drying during initial startup, and prevents materials from adhering to the inner wall of the drying tower, thus enhancing the overall drying effect of the equipment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine extract preparation technology, specifically a spray dryer for drying traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) extraction utilizes techniques to maximize the extraction of its active ingredients, thereby improving the intrinsic quality and clinical efficacy of TCM preparations and maximizing the therapeutic effect of TCM. Extracting the active ingredients from TCM and further separating and purifying them to obtain effective monomers is an important aspect of TCM research.
[0003] A search revealed that a spray dryer for drying traditional Chinese medicine, with publication number CN208436412U, includes a drying tower, a receiving cone, a cyclone separator, a waste gas tower, a feed pump, and a heater. The drying tower has a hot air distributor at its top. The receiving cone is fixed to the bottom of the drying tower, and a connecting pipe is attached to the outer wall of the receiving cone. The cyclone separator is connected to the other end of the connecting pipe, and a separator receiving hopper is fixed to the bottom of the cyclone separator. A cooling pipe is installed between the receiving cone and the separator receiving hopper. A fan for the receiving system is connected to the outside of the receiving cone, directly blowing air into the pipe at the bottom of the drying tower. This purifies the pipe, reduces material accumulation in the pipe gaps, and cools the material, making it finer, less prone to clumping, easier to maintain, and reduces mixing between materials adhering to the material during multiple drying processes, thus improving the quality of material drying.
[0004] In the above technical solution, air is heated by a heater to dry the Chinese medicine extract in the drying tower. However, when the heater is initially started, the heating efficiency is limited, resulting in a low temperature inside the drying tower. This can easily lead to incomplete drying of the medicine in the drying tower. In addition, during the operation, the inner wall of the drying tower is prone to material adhesion. Therefore, we propose a spray dryer for drying Chinese medicine. Summary of the Invention

[0020] This invention provides a spray dryer for drying traditional Chinese medicine. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] When the circular support rotates, the seal can be rotated to the opening of the connecting channel to seal the connecting channel, thereby sealing both ends of the extension tube. When the temperature inside the drying cylinder reaches the standard, it can switch to single-cylinder working mode. In single-cylinder working mode, the movement path of air and Chinese medicine liquid can be shortened, improving the drying efficiency of the equipment for atomized Chinese medicine liquid.
[0022] When the circular support rotates, it can drive the seal to move away from the opening of the connection channel, and can switch to the cyclic working mode when the temperature inside the drying cylinder is not up to standard and the drying efficiency is low when the equipment is started.
[0023] In the circulating working mode, the circulating fan drives the air inside the extension tube to flow, creating a negative pressure at the bottom of the extension tube. This negative pressure forces the air inside the drying cylinder and the undried liquid medicine to enter the extension tube through the fixed pipe at the bottom, thereby driving the hot air and liquid medicine to circulate. This increases the flow path of the liquid medicine and hot air, extends the drying time of the liquid medicine, and avoids the phenomenon of incomplete drying when the equipment is initially started.
[0024] When the circular support rotates, it drives the connecting rods fixedly installed on the two circular supports to move along the inner wall of the drying cylinder, so that the scraper fixedly installed on the connecting rods moves synchronously, which can scrape off the material on the inner wall of the drying cylinder and prevent the material from adhering to the inner wall of the drying cylinder.

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] Example 1:
[0039] like Figures 1-10 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a spray dryer for drying traditional Chinese medicine, including a drying cylinder 1. Two connecting channels 2 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drying cylinder 1, and each connecting channel 2 is connected to the drying cylinder 1. An extension channel 3 is provided between the two connecting channels 2. The extension channel 3 includes an extension pipe 31. Both ends of the extension pipe 31 are fixed and connected to connecting hoses 33. The ends of the connecting hoses 33 are fixedly installed and connected to fixed pipes 34. The two fixed pipes 34 are respectively fixedly connected to and connected to the two connecting channels 2. A circulating fan 32 is installed inside the extension pipe 31.
[0040] Two circular supports 11 are rotatably installed inside the drying cylinder 1. Each circular support 11 has a sealing element 111 installed on its outer wall to seal the opening of the connecting channel 2. When the circular support 11 rotates, the sealing element 111 can rotate to the opening of the connecting channel 2 to seal the connecting channel 2, thereby sealing both ends of the extension tube 31. When the temperature inside the drying cylinder 1 reaches a certain value, it can switch to single-cylinder working mode. In single-cylinder working mode, the movement path of air and Chinese medicine liquid can be shortened, improving the drying efficiency of the equipment for atomized Chinese medicine liquid.
[0041] When the circular support 11 rotates, it can drive the seal 111 to move away from the opening of the connecting channel 2, and can switch to the cyclic working mode when the temperature inside the drying cylinder 1 is not up to standard and the drying efficiency is low when the equipment is started.
[0042] In the circulating working mode, the circulating fan 32 drives the air inside the extension pipe 31 to flow, creating a negative pressure at the bottom of the extension pipe 31. This negative pressure forces the air inside the drying cylinder 1 and the undried liquid medicine to enter the extension pipe 31 through the fixed pipe 34 at the bottom, thus driving the hot air and liquid medicine to circulate. This increases the flow path of the liquid medicine and hot air, extends the drying time, and prevents incomplete drying during initial equipment startup. Two circular supports 11 are respectively installed at both ends inside the drying cylinder 1, and several connecting rods 12 are installed between the two circular supports 11. The two ends of the connecting rod 12 are fixedly connected to two circular brackets 11 respectively. Each connecting rod 12 has a scraper fixedly installed on the side surface near the drying cylinder 1 that contacts the inner wall of the drying cylinder 1. The circular bracket 11 at the bottom of the drying cylinder 1 is connected to a drive structure 18 for driving its rotation. When the circular bracket 11 rotates, it can drive the connecting rod 12 fixedly installed on the two circular brackets 11 to move along the inner wall of the drying cylinder 1, so that the scraper fixedly installed on the connecting rod 12 moves synchronously, which can scrape off the material on the inner wall of the drying cylinder 1 and prevent the material from adhering to the inner wall of the drying cylinder 1.
[0043] An atomizing sprayer 6 is installed on the outside of the drying cylinder 1.
[0044] In this embodiment, the lower end of the drying cylinder 1 is set as an inverted conical end 13, which facilitates the collection of raw materials inside the drying cylinder 1. The drive structure 18 includes a drive ring 15, which is rotatably mounted on the inner bottom of the conical end 13. A drive shaft 14 is fixedly connected inside the drive ring 15 via a connecting rod. The lower end of the drive shaft 14 extends rotatably to the lower side of the conical end 13. A drive motor 17 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the conical end 13. The output end of the drive motor 17 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the drive shaft 14. Several connecting side rods 16 are fixedly mounted on the drive ring 15. The upper end of each connecting side rod 16 is connected to the circular bracket 11. The connecting side rod 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conical end 13. The bottom of the conical end 13 is provided with a discharge assembly 7 for auxiliary discharge. During operation, the drive motor 17 drives the drive shaft 14 to rotate, thereby driving the drive ring 15 to move several connecting side rods 16. This allows the connecting side rods 16 to drive the circular bracket 11 to rotate. When the connecting side rods 16 move, they can drive the material accumulated inside the conical end 13 to move, so that the material gradually moves to the bottom of the conical end 13. At the same time, the drive ring 15 drives the connecting rod to move, thereby driving the material to enter the discharge channel 71 through the notch, assisting in discharge.
[0045] In this embodiment, the discharge assembly 7 includes a discharge channel 71, which is fixedly installed at the lower end of the conical end 13. The discharge channel 71 has a notch that communicates with the interior of the lower end of the conical end 13. A drive shaft 72 is rotatably installed inside the discharge channel 71. An auger structure 73 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the drive shaft 72. One end of the auger structure 73 extends to the opening of the discharge channel 71, and the other end extends to the notch. One end of the drive shaft 72 extends movably to the side of the discharge channel 71 near the drive shaft 14. A driven gear 75 is fixedly installed on one end of the drive shaft 72. A drive gear 74 is meshed with one side of the driven gear 75. The drive gear 74 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drive shaft 14. During discharge, the drive shaft 72 can drive the drive gear 74 to move, thereby driving the driven gear 75 meshed with on one side to rotate the drive shaft 72 and the auger structure 73, so that the auger structure 73 rotates and drives the material to be discharged through the discharge channel 71.
[0046] In this embodiment, a plurality of movable collars 35 are movably sleeved on the outside of the extension tube 31. A plurality of support springs 36 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of each movable collar 35. The end of each support spring 36 is fixed to the outer wall of the extension tube 31. The plurality of movable collars 35 are fixedly installed inside the fixed bracket 37. A vibration motor 38 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the extension tube 31. During operation, the vibration motor 38 can drive the extension tube 31 to vibrate inside the plurality of support springs 36. The vibration of the extension tube 31 can prevent material from adhering to the inner wall of the extension tube 31 and can drive the material inside the extension tube 31 to gradually move and discharge, avoiding material accumulation and improving the discharge efficiency of the equipment.
[0047] In this embodiment, an exhaust pipe 39 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one of the fixed pipes 34. The exhaust pipe 39 is set upwards and communicates with the interior of the fixed pipe 34. A particulate filter 310 for filtering air is fixedly installed inside the exhaust pipe 39. An exhaust port 4 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the outer wall of the drying cylinder 1. The end of the exhaust port 4 away from the drying cylinder 1 is inclined upwards. An electrically controlled valve 41 is installed inside the exhaust port 4. The electrically controlled valve 41 is used to switch the internal communication state of the exhaust port 4, thereby adjusting the exhaust position of the equipment according to the usage mode of the equipment. In the circulation mode, the electrically controlled valve 41 closes the exhaust port 4, and exhaust is carried out through the exhaust pipe 39, thereby extending the air flow path and increasing the drying time. A heating and drying assembly 5 is connected to the lower end of the drying cylinder 1.
[0048] In this embodiment, the heating and drying assembly 5 includes a heating box 51, which is installed on one side of the drying cylinder 1. An electric heater is installed inside the heating box 51. An air inlet pipe 52 is fixedly installed on and connected to the outer wall of the heating box 51. The end of the air inlet pipe 52 is fixedly installed on the lower outer wall of the drying cylinder 1. The interior of the air inlet pipe 52 is connected to the interior of the drying cylinder 1. A booster fan 53 connected to the heating box 51 is installed on the top of the heating box 51. During drying, the air inside the heating box 51 is heated by the electric heater installed inside the heating box 51. The booster fan 53 drives the air inside the heating box 51 to flow, thereby delivering it to the air inlet pipe 52 and the interior of the drying cylinder 1 for drying.
[0049] In this embodiment, the atomizing sprayer 6 includes a raw material storage tank 61, which is installed on one side of the heating box 51. A feed pipe 62 is provided outside the raw material storage tank 61. One end of the feed pipe 62 extends into the raw material storage tank 61 and is connected to a delivery pump installed inside the raw material storage tank 61. The other end of the feed pipe 62 is fixedly installed and connected to a liquid atomizing nozzle 63. The liquid atomizing nozzle 63 is fixedly installed inside the drying cylinder 1. During operation, the traditional Chinese medicine liquid inside the raw material storage tank 61 can be pumped into the feed pipe 62 by the delivery pump inside the raw material storage tank 61, and then atomized by the atomizing sprayer 6 and sprayed into the drying cylinder 1 for drying.
[0050] Working principle:
[0051] When the circular support 11 rotates, the sealing element 111 can be rotated to the opening of the connecting channel 2 to seal the connecting channel 2, thereby sealing both ends of the extension tube 31. When the temperature inside the drying cylinder 1 reaches the standard, it can switch to single-cylinder working mode. In single-cylinder working mode, the movement path of air and Chinese medicine liquid can be shortened, and the drying efficiency of the equipment for atomized Chinese medicine liquid can be improved.
[0052] When the circular support 11 rotates, it can drive the seal 111 to move away from the opening of the connecting channel 2, and can switch to the cyclic working mode when the temperature inside the drying cylinder 1 is not up to standard and the drying efficiency is low when the equipment is started.
[0053] In the circulating working mode, the circulating fan 32 drives the air inside the extension tube 31 to flow, which generates a negative pressure at the bottom of the extension tube 31. The negative pressure causes the air inside the drying cylinder 1 and the undried liquid medicine to enter the extension tube 31 through the fixed tube 34 at the bottom, thereby driving the hot air and liquid medicine to circulate. This increases the flow path of the liquid medicine and hot air, increases the drying time of the liquid medicine, and avoids the phenomenon of incomplete drying when the equipment is initially started.
[0054] When the circular support 11 rotates, it can drive the connecting rod 12, which is fixedly installed on the two circular supports 11, to move along the inner wall of the drying cylinder 1. This causes the scraper fixedly installed on the connecting rod 12 to move synchronously, which can scrape off the material on the inner wall of the drying cylinder 1 and prevent the material from adhering to the inner wall of the drying cylinder 1.
[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. All obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
