Detailed implementation manners

[0024] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside that appear or will appear in the text of the present invention are only based on the drawings of the present invention, and they do not specifically limit the present invention.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-9, A rotary raw material drying device for alginate processing, comprising a chassis 1. A housing 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the chassis 1. A support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the chassis 1. An installation plate 4 is fixedly arranged above the support plate 3 inside the housing 2. A door panel 5 is rotatably arranged in the middle of the front side of the housing 2 for unloading kelp. There is an opening on the left side of the housing 2 for loading kelp. Four baffle plates 6 are slidably connected to the top of the chassis 1, so that independent enclosed spaces are respectively formed between the chassis 1, the housing 2 and the installation plate 4 relative to the rear side, the right side and the front side of the support plate 3, namely a high-temperature chamber, a medium-temperature chamber and a low-temperature chamber. A synchronous belt assembly 701 is arranged between the installation plate 4 and the top inside the housing 2. A motor 702 is installed on the top of the housing 2. The output shaft of the motor 702 is in transmission connection with a synchronous pulley of the synchronous belt assembly 701. A plurality of connecting rods 8 are evenly and spacedly fixedly connected to the synchronous belt of the synchronous belt assembly 701. A chute 401 is opened on the installation plate 4. A plurality of sliding rods 9 are slidably connected in the chute 401. The number of the sliding rods 9 is equal to that of the connecting rods 8 and their positions correspond one by one. The upper parts of the sliding rods 9 are fixedly connected to their corresponding connecting rods 8. The lower ends of the sliding rods 9 are all fixedly connected with hanging rods 11. The hanging rods 11 are located below the installation plate 4. Hanging rods 12 for fixing a plurality of kelps are hung on the hanging rods 11. When the device works, by the synchronous rising or falling of the four baffle plates 6, the independent enclosed spaces between the high-temperature chamber, the medium-temperature chamber and the low-temperature chamber are released or maintained. The kelps are fixed by the hanging rods 12 and hung on the hanging rods 11. By driving the synchronous pulley of the synchronous belt assembly 701 to rotate by the motor 702, under the drive of the synchronous belt of the synchronous belt assembly 701, the connecting rods 8 drive the sliding rods 9, the hanging rods 11 and the hanging rods 12 to rotate clockwise along the chute 401, so that the kelps on the hanging rods 12 sequentially pass through the high-temperature chamber, the medium-temperature chamber and the low-temperature chamber, thereby realizing staged continuous drying treatment.

[0026] Accommodation grooves 402 are opened on both sides of the chute 401 on the installation plate 4. A plurality of heat insulation strips 10 are evenly and spacedly fixedly connected in the accommodation grooves 402 on both sides of the chute 401, and the plurality of heat insulation strips 10 on both sides are arranged staggeredly. Avoidance grooves 901 parallel to the heat insulation strips 10 are opened on both sides of the sliding rod 9. In this embodiment, the heat insulation strips 10 are preferably made of high-temperature resistant elastic plates, which can maintain a stable heat insulation effect in a high-temperature environment and can withstand the pressure and friction generated when the sliding rod 9 slides. When the sliding rod 9 slides in the chute 401 and passes through the heat insulation strips 10, the heat insulation strips 10 will be bent and deformed, and the heat insulation strips 10 can quickly return to their original state after the sliding rod 9 passes. Thus, when the sliding rod 9 stops sliding, the plurality of heat insulation strips 10 can reduce the exchange of gas above the installation plate 4 and the gas below it, which helps to maintain the internal temperature stability of the high-temperature chamber, the medium-temperature chamber and the low-temperature chamber. The setting of the avoidance grooves 901 can reduce the bending amplitude of the heat insulation strips 10.

[0027] At the top inside the housing 2, a guide rail 13 corresponding to the sliding groove 401 is fixedly provided. The upper end of the sliding rod 9 is slidably connected to the guide rail 13. The setting of the guide rail 13 can further ensure the stable sliding of the sliding rod 9 and improve the reliability of the device.

[0028] The bottom ends of the four baffles 6 are commonly fixedly connected to a connecting plate 14. Two telescopic driving members 15 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides at the rear of the housing 2. The output ends of the two telescopic driving members 15 both face downward and are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 14. When the output ends of the telescopic driving members 15 drive the connecting plate 14 and the four baffles 6 to move downward together, space can be left for the suspension rod 11, the hanging rod 12, and the kelp to pass between the high-temperature chamber, the medium-temperature chamber, and the low-temperature chamber. Conversely, the four baffles 6 are caused to maintain the formation of mutually independent enclosed spaces for the high-temperature chamber, the medium-temperature chamber, and the low-temperature chamber.

[0029] Heating plates 16 are installed at the bottom inside the high-temperature chamber, the medium-temperature chamber, and the low-temperature chamber. The heating plates 16 are used to heat the air in the corresponding areas, thereby drying the kelp. A controller 17 is installed on the front side of the door panel 5. The three heating plates 16, the motor 702, and the telescopic driving members 15 are all electrically connected to the controller 17. Through the controller 17, the heating temperature of different heating plates 16, the rotation speed of the motor 702, and the telescopic movement of the output ends of the telescopic driving members 15 can be precisely controlled, thereby realizing the precise control of the drying process.

[0030] A plurality of hanging openings 1101 are formed on the suspension rod 11. Hooks 1201 corresponding to the positions of the hanging openings 1101 are provided on the hanging rod 12. By hanging the hooks 1201 on the hanging openings 1101, the hanging rod 12 can be fixed on the suspension rod 11. A plurality of sleeves 1202 are fixedly connected to the hanging rod 12 at intervals. A screw rod 1203 is threadedly connected to each sleeve 1202. One end of the screw rod 1203 located inside the sleeve 1202 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped clamping plate 1204. By rotating the screw rod 1203, the distance between the clamping plate 1204 and the sleeve 1202 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the fixation of kelp of different sizes.

[0031] Air inlets 18 are formed in the lower part at the rear and the lower part on the right side of the housing 2 and in the lower part of the door panel 5. Three exhaust ports 19 corresponding to the high-temperature chamber, the medium-temperature chamber, and the low-temperature chamber are formed on the support plate 3. The three exhaust ports 19 are commonly connected to a connecting pipe 20. An exhaust fan 22 is provided on the left side of the support plate 3. The left end of the connecting pipe 20 is connected to one side of the exhaust fan 22. When the exhaust fan 22 operates, the hot air in the high-temperature chamber, the medium-temperature chamber, and the low-temperature chamber can be sucked into the connecting pipe 20 through the exhaust ports 19 and then discharged outside the device through the exhaust fan 22. At the same time, due to the negative pressure effect generated by the operation of the exhaust fan 22, the fresh air outside the housing 2 can be sucked into the device through the air inlets 18, thereby realizing the circulating flow of gas. In addition, the discharged hot air can also be used for the preliminary air drying treatment of the fresh kelp placed on the left side of the housing 2 to improve the energy utilization efficiency.

[0032] In order to achieve flexible control of the exhaust gas, in the present invention, a wind guiding column 21 is fixedly connected to the left side of the support plate 3. The exhaust fan 22 is installed in the upper part of the wind guiding column 21. The left end of the connecting pipe 20 is connected to the upper part of the wind guiding column 21. A plurality of exhaust holes are formed in the front side of the wind guiding column 21, and a plurality of wind guiding plates 23 are rotatably connected in the exhaust holes. By adjusting the angles of the wind guiding plates 23, the direction of the exhaust gas can be changed, thereby achieving flexible control of the exhaust gas.

[0033] Since the surface of fresh kelp has a lot of moisture, during the drying process, this moisture will naturally flow down to the bottom of the device. In order to avoid this moisture from contaminating or damaging the device, in the present invention, a water receiving box 24 adapted to the left side structure of the housing 2 is placed on the top left side of the chassis 1. When fresh kelp is placed above the water receiving box 24 on the left side of the housing 2, the moisture on its surface can naturally flow down into the water receiving box 24 for collection, thereby keeping the device clean and dry.

[0034] Working principle: Initially, no hanging rods 12 are hung on all suspension rods 11. During use, insert the root of the kelp into the sleeve 1202, and by rotating the screw rod 1203, the clamping plate 1204 cooperates with the sleeve 1202 to fix the root of the kelp. After repeating the above operation multiple times, fix multiple kelps on one hanging rod 12, and then hang the multiple hanging rods 12 with kelps fixed thereon on the corresponding hanging openings 1101 on the multiple suspension rods 11 on the left side of the housing 2 through the hooks 1201 thereon to complete the preparation work for the first batch of kelps. The water on the kelps naturally flows down to be collected by the water receiving box 24. After the surface of the first batch of kelps is slightly dry, control the output end of the telescopic driving member 15 by the controller 17 to drive the connecting plate 14 and the four baffles 6 to move downward together to leave space for the suspension rods 11, hanging rods 12 and kelps to pass through. Then, control the motor 702 by the controller 17 to drive the synchronous belt pulley of the synchronous belt assembly 701 connected thereto to rotate. Thus, driven by the synchronous belt of the synchronous belt assembly 701, the connecting rod 8 drives the sliding rod 9 to rotate along the chute 401, and further drives the suspension rod 11 and the hanging rod 12 to rotate until the hanging rod 12 with the first batch of kelps fixed thereon completely enters the high-temperature chamber area. Then, control the output end of the telescopic driving member 15 by the controller 17 to drive the connecting plate 14 and the four baffles 6 to move upward and reset together to keep the high-temperature chamber, medium-temperature chamber and low-temperature chamber independent. At this time, fix the second batch of kelps through the hanging rod 12 and hang them on the corresponding hanging openings 1101 on the suspension rod 11 currently located on the left side of the housing 2. Then, control the heating plate 16 in the high-temperature chamber by the controller 17 to heat the temperature in this area to heat and dry the first batch of kelps. At the same time, by the operation of the exhaust fan 22, inhale the hot air in the high-temperature chamber into the connecting pipe 20 through the exhaust port 19, and then discharge it through the exhaust holes of the air guiding column 21 to blow dry the second batch of kelps. After the first batch of kelps is completed with high-temperature drying, control the output end of the telescopic driving member 15 by the controller 17 to drive the connecting plate 14 and the four baffles 6 to move downward together. Then, control the motor 702 by the controller 17 to drive the synchronous belt assembly 701 to work, move the hanging rod 12 corresponding to the first batch of kelps to the medium-temperature chamber area, and at the same time move the hanging rod 12 corresponding to the second batch of kelps to the high-temperature chamber area. Subsequently, control the output end of the telescopic driving member 15 by the controller 17 to drive the connecting plate 14 and the four baffles 6 to move upward and reset together. Then, fix the third batch of kelps through the hanging rod 12 and hang them on the corresponding hanging openings 1101 on the suspension rod 11 currently located on the left side of the housing 2. Then, control the heating plate 16 in the high-temperature chamber by the controller 17 to perform high-temperature heating on the second batch of kelps, and the heating plate 16 in the medium-temperature chamber performs medium-temperature heating on the first batch of kelps, and so on, to perform continuous batch operation on the kelps until each batch of kelps is completed with three-step drying treatment of high temperature, medium temperature and low temperature.
