[0025] like Figure 1-9 As shown:

[0026] A probiotic powder processing device includes a box body 000, a driving block 010 is connected to the inside of the box body 000 by screws, a transmission chain 020 is slidably connected to the driving block 010, and the transmission chain 020 can rotate inside the driving block 010 under the drive of the driving structure. The driving structure is a structure that can drive the transmission chain 020 to slide at a constant speed inside the driving block 010, such as a stepping motor and gear combination or other achievable driving combination. It is a mature technical reserve and will not be repeated here. The inside of the box body 000 is connected to the freezing cylinder 100 in sequence from top to bottom by screws. , drying cylinder 200 and crushing cylinder 300, the movable side of the transmission chain 020 passes through the freezing cylinder 100, the drying cylinder 200 and the crushing cylinder 300, both sides of the freezing cylinder 100 are connected with the freezing device A110 by screws, the lower side of the freezing device A110 is slidably connected with two symmetrically arranged partition blocks 400 through an electric push rod, and the upper side of the partition block 400 is slidably connected with a support plate 430 through a spring, the outer side of the drying cylinder 200 is connected with the freezing device B210 and the vacuum device 220 by screws, and the inner side of the crushing cylinder 300 is connected with the grinding bucket 310 through a rotating motor;

[0027] Before the processing equipment is put into use, the driving structure can be started to make the transmission chain 020 slide uniformly from bottom to top inside the driving block 010, so that the movable side of the transmission chain 020 can slide uniformly from top to bottom inside the freezing cylinder 100, the drying cylinder 200 and the crushing cylinder 300, and then a container containing probiotic powder can be placed on the lower side of the crushing cylinder 300 and the rotating motor and the electric push rod can be started at the same time, so as to complete the preparation work before starting the processing equipment;

[0028] When the processing equipment is put into use, the probiotic culture liquid is poured into the freezing cylinder 100 at a uniform speed. Under normal conditions, the two partition blocks 400 are closed inwardly, so that a sealed cavity is formed between the two support plates 430, the transmission chain 020 and the freezing cylinder 100. At this time, the probiotic culture liquid can be stored in the cavity, and the support plate 430 is gradually pressed down by its own weight until the support plate 430 fits with the partition block 400. At this time, the freezing device A110 can be started to freeze the probiotic culture liquid, thereby freezing the probiotic culture liquid. The probiotic culture liquid can be frozen into a probiotic culture liquid freezing column. When the support plate 430 is completely fitted with the partition block 400, it means that the probiotic cooling liquid in the cavity has reached a certain mass, and the probiotic culture liquid has been completely frozen into a probiotic culture liquid freezing column. The gradually descending support plate 430 can be consistent with the descending speed of the transmission chain 020 inside the freezing cylinder 100, so that the transmission chain 020 can be frozen together with the probiotic culture liquid freezing column, that is, the probiotic culture liquid freezing column can be driven synchronously by the movement of the transmission chain 020. Move, at this time, the electric push rod can be started, so that the electric push rod pushes the partition block 400 to open on both sides, so that the gradually descending transmission chain 020 can drive the probiotic culture liquid freezing column to gradually move downward, so that the probiotic culture liquid freezing column can enter the interior of the drying cylinder 200, and the lower end of the probiotic culture liquid freezing column can contact the grinding bucket 310. At this time, the freezing device B210 and the vacuum device 220 can be started. The freezing device B210 and the vacuum device 220 are both currently mature freeze-drying devices for target materials. At this time, the transmission chain 020 can continue to drive the probiotic culture solution freezing column to move downward, and the rotating motor can be started at this time, so that the rotating motor drives the grinding bucket 310 to rotate, and then the probiotic culture solution freezing column moving downward can be ground by the grinding bucket 310, and then the probiotic culture solution freezing column that has completed freeze drying can be completely crushed into probiotic powder, and the obtained probiotic powder can pass through the grinding bucket 310 and fall into the inside of the container, so that the preparation, processing and collection of the probiotic powder can be completed;

[0029] At the same time, when the probiotic culture liquid freezing column enters the interior of the drying cylinder 200, the electric push rod can drive the two partition blocks 400 to close again, that is, the probiotic culture liquid can be collected again by the closed cavity formed by the support plate 430, the transmission chain 020 and the freezing cylinder 100, and then the preparation and collection of probiotic powder can be continuously completed, that is, after the probiotic culture liquid is continuously added to the processing equipment, the processing equipment can automatically complete the preparation of probiotic powder without the need for secondary loading and unloading of the probiotic culture liquid freezing column, thereby avoiding the probiotic culture liquid freezing column from being broken or other losses during the secondary loading and unloading process, thereby improving the automation of the equipment and reducing the loss rate of finished products;

[0030] Secondly, position sensing switches can be set at both ends of the electric push rod. When the partition block 400 is closed inwardly, the electric push rod contacts the internal position sensing switch to drive the partition block 400 to move outward. At this time, the support plate 430 rises under the action of the spring, so that the support plate 430 is stuck in the freezing cylinder 100. At this time, the partition block 400 stays in place and cannot move. When the support plate 430 descends and fits with the partition block 400, the support plate 430 can leave the freezing cylinder 100 together with the partition block 400. At this time, the electric push rod can drive the partition block 400 to move outward, so that the probiotic culture liquid freezing column can follow the transmission chain 020 to descend; when the partition block 400 is opened outward, the electric push rod contacts the external position sensing switch. The switch should be turned on, driving the partition block 400 to move inward. At this time, the probiotic culture liquid freezing column moves downward under the drive of the transmission chain 020, so that the partition block 400 is stuck in place by the probiotic culture liquid freezing column and cannot enter the freezing cylinder 100. When the probiotic culture liquid freezing column completely enters the drying cylinder 200, the partition block 400 can be driven by the electric push rod to enter the freezing cylinder 100. At this time, the amount of probiotic culture liquid in the freezing cylinder 100 is small and not completely frozen. The support plate 430 can be lifted again under the action of the spring, so that the support plate 430 is stuck in the freezing cylinder 100 again, that is, the partition block 400 can automatically complete the opening and closing work after the electric push rod is started, thereby reducing the operation workload of the operator.

[0031] like Figure 4-5 As shown:

[0032] Both of the two dividing blocks 400 include a pushing plate 410, and both of the pushing plates 410 are slidably connected to the lower side of the freezing device A110 through an electric push rod, and the pushing plate 410 is connected to the freezing device A110 through multiple sliding rods; when the lower side of the probiotic culture liquid freezing column is frozen on the support plate 430, the setting of the multiple sliding rods can make the pushing plate 410 always remain stable during the process of being pushed by the electric push rod, thereby increasing the shear force applied to the dividing block 400 during the process of being pushed, thereby reducing the resistance generated between the dividing block 400 and the probiotic culture liquid freezing column during the process of being pushed, so that the dividing block 400 can be smoothly pushed outward by the electric push rod and separated from the probiotic culture liquid freezing column.

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown:

[0034] A sliding partition frame 120 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the freezing device A110, and a partition plate 420 is welded to the lower side of the push plate 410. A slide groove 121 corresponding to the partition plate 420 is opened on the inner side of the sliding partition frame 120, and the partition plate 420 can slide inside the slide groove 121; thereby, the partition block 400 can be further stabilized by the setting of the slide groove 121, ensuring that the partition block 400 can be smoothly separated from the probiotic culture liquid freezing column; at the same time, the setting of the slide groove 121 and the partition plate 420 can prevent the probiotic culture liquid from leaking from between the freezing cylinder 100 and the drying cylinder 200.

[0035] like Figure 6-7 As shown:

[0036] A bracket 421 is provided on the upper side of the partition plate 420, and a support plate 430 is slid inside the bracket 421 via a spring; thereby, after the support plate 430 is pressed downward by the probiotic culture solution, the support plate 430 can enter the inside of the bracket 421, thereby allowing the partition plate 420 to slide outward smoothly, thereby allowing the partition block 400 to slide out from the lower side of the freezing cylinder 100 smoothly, thereby preventing the support plate 430 from being stuck inside the freezing cylinder 100, resulting in the partition block 400 being unable to move outward.

[0037] Further:

[0038] The support plate 430 is provided with sealing sheets on both the inner and outer sides, so that the contact position between the support plate 430 and the freezing cylinder 100 and the transmission chain 020 can be sealed by the sealing sheets, thereby preventing the probiotic culture solution from overflowing from the contact gap when poured into the cavity.

[0039] like Figure 8 As shown:

[0040] The inner side of the grinding bucket 310 is a funnel surface that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The upper diameter of the funnel surface is equal to the inner diameter of the drying cylinder 200, and the lower diameter is equal to the diameter of the transmission chain 020. Therefore, when the transmission chain 020 drives the probiotic culture liquid freezing column that has completed freeze-drying to enter the crushing cylinder 300, the lower side of the probiotic culture liquid freezing column can be completely fitted with the inside of the grinding bucket 310, thereby ensuring that the rotating grinding bucket 310 can grind and crush the probiotic culture liquid freezing column that has completed freeze-drying into probiotic powder, and at the same time, it can ensure that the probiotic culture liquid freezing column that has completed freeze-drying and adhered to the transmission chain 020 can be completely crushed by the grinding bucket 310 without continuing to adhere to the transmission chain 020.

[0041] like Fig. 9 As shown:

[0042] The lower side of the grinding bucket 310 is rotatably connected to a connecting seat 320 through a rotating motor. The connecting seat 320 is connected to the lower side of the crushing cylinder 300 by screws. A plurality of cutting grooves 311 are provided on the inner side of the grinding bucket 310. Thus, the frozen column of the probiotic culture solution that has been freeze-dried can be ground and crushed through the cutting grooves 311. At the same time, when the grinding bucket 310 or the rotating motor is damaged, the grinding bucket 310 can be directly removed for replacement or repair, which provides convenience for subsequent maintenance work.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown:

[0044] The transmission chain 020 is a metal chain with a circular cross-section, and the inner walls of the freezing cylinder 100 and the drying cylinder 200 are both smooth surfaces. The setting of the metal chain can make the outer side of the transmission chain 020 itself have certain undulations, so that the probiotic culture solution can fit more closely with the transmission chain 020. At the same time, since the inner wall of the freezing cylinder 100 is a smooth surface, when the transmission chain 020 drives the probiotic culture solution freezing column to descend, the inner wall of the freezing cylinder 100 can be more easily separated from the probiotic culture solution freezing column.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown:

[0046] The box body 000 is provided with support blocks at both upper and lower ends, so that the transmission chain 020 can be limited by the support blocks, so that the transmission chain 020 can rotate along a preset fixed track without displacement.

[0047] A probiotic powder processing method, the method comprising the following steps:

[0048] a: Continuously start the driving block 010 so that the driving block 010 drives the transmission chain 020 to rotate inside the processing equipment;

[0049] b: injecting the probiotic culture solution into the freezing cylinder 100, opening the freezing device A110 to freeze the probiotic culture solution, and preparing a probiotic culture solution freezing column;

[0050] c: Open the partition block 400, so that the probiotic culture solution freezing column is driven by the transmission chain 020 to enter the drying cylinder 200, and the probiotic culture solution freezing column is freeze-dried and dehydrated by the freezing device B210 and the vacuum device 220;

[0051] d: The probiotic culture liquid freezing column that has been freeze-dried and dehydrated is driven by the transmission chain 020 to enter the crushing cylinder 300;

[0052] e: The probiotic culture liquid frozen column that has been freeze-dried and dehydrated is crushed by the grinding bucket 310 to obtain a finished probiotic powder.
