Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rotary kiln dryers, and particularly to a steam tube rotary kiln dryer for the preparation of curdlan. Background Art

[0002] Curdlan is a β-1,3-glucan polysaccharide produced by microbial fermentation, which has unique gel properties and thermal stability, and is widely used in the fields of food, medicine, and chemical engineering. In the industrial preparation process of curdlan, the wet particles formed after the fermentation broth is extracted and purified need to be dried to reduce the moisture content and ensure the product stability. The steam tube rotary kiln dryer has become the preferred solution due to its efficient and uniform drying characteristics.

[0003] The steam tube rotary kiln dryer mainly consists of a rotary kiln body, steam tubes, a transmission device, and a steam system. When the steam tube rotary kiln dryer is in operation, the internal space of the rotary kiln body is divided into a feeding area and a collecting area. The steam tubes located below the kiln body are buried in the collecting area and directly contact the piled materials, and stably heat the materials by heat conduction. At the same time, during the continuous rotation of the rotary kiln body, the lifting plates arranged inside lift the materials from the collecting area to the upper part, and the materials fall under the action of gravity, forming a dynamic feeding area. During this process, the falling materials contact the steam tubes arranged in the feeding area, and heat exchange is achieved through heat convection and heat radiation.

[0004] In the process of using the existing steam tube rotary kiln dryer, deficiencies have gradually emerged, which are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

[0005] First, the effective heat exchange time between the materials in the feeding area and the steam tubes is short. Specifically, during the operation of the steam tube rotary kiln dryer, the materials in the feeding area freely fall under the action of gravity and collide with the steam tubes. Due to the elastic action between the materials and the surface of the tubes, the collided materials will be quickly bounced off and fall back to the collecting area after multiple rebounds. This dynamic process results in a very short actual effective contact time between the materials and the steam tubes, seriously restricting the effective transfer of heat energy. Moreover, the repeated bouncing of the materials prolongs their residence time in the dryer, increasing the overall drying cycle and resulting in low drying efficiency.

[0006] Second, the material distribution uniformity in the blanking area is poor. Specifically, during the operation of the steam tube rotary kiln dryer, the rotary kiln body drives the lifting plates to rotate synchronously, lifting and transporting the materials in the aggregate area. When the lifting plate just leaves the aggregate area, the materials it carries start to continuously spill. By the time the lifting plate reaches the highest point, the materials it carries have basically fallen out. This phenomenon of premature material spillage leads to extremely uneven material distribution on both sides of the blanking area, with the material spillage being too dense on one side and too sparse on the other. The uneven material distribution directly causes a significant reduction in the contact area between the steam tubes and the materials, resulting in a remarkable decrease in the heat transfer efficiency. Moreover, the uneven blanking distribution also leads to uneven drying, affecting the consistency of the drying quality of the final product.

[0007] In summary, it is obvious that the existing technology has inconveniences and defects in actual use, so it is necessary to improve it. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Aiming at the defects in the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a steam tube rotary kiln dryer for the preparation of curdlan. During the drying process of the materials by this equipment, the materials falling in the blanking area can maintain a continuous and stable contact state with the steam tubes, completely avoiding the phenomenon of materials colliding and bouncing in traditional equipment, greatly increasing the effective heat exchange time between the materials and the surface of the steam tubes. Moreover, the surface of the steam tubes is always evenly covered by the materials, maximizing the utilization of the heating area and significantly improving the drying efficiency.

[0009] This equipment can achieve uniform distribution and stable flow of the materials in the blanking area. During the drying process, the materials fall evenly, forming a stable material curtain, ensuring that the area around the steam tubes is always evenly covered by the materials. This uniformly distributed material flow increases the effective contact area between the materials and the steam tubes, systematically improving the heat conduction efficiency. Moreover, the uniform material distribution avoids the phenomena of local overheating or insufficient drying, ensuring the consistency of the material drying quality.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] 1. When drying materials, the hot steam provided by the external steam system passes through the steam tubes and the arc-shaped ventilation grooves in the arc-shaped sleeve, and then continuously exchanges heat with the steam tubes and the arc-shaped sleeve. The driving motor drives the rotary kiln body to rotate, and then drives the feeding plate and the baffle ring to rotate. When the feeding plate passes through the opening area of the fixed arc plate, the materials in the aggregate area fill the area between two adjacent feeding plates. When the feeding plate rotates upward, it transports the materials. When the materials are transported to the highest position, they enter the material box through the leakage trough. At the same time, the reciprocating telescopic cylinder drives the dialing plate to move back and forth, and then stirs the materials in the material box, so that the materials are evenly distributed in the material box. The materials in the material box are evenly scattered downward through the leakage holes and collected by the aggregate plates in the top row. The servo motor drives the steam tubes in the blanking area to rotate. During the rotation of the steam tubes, the materials between the aggregate plates continuously fill into the arc-shaped grooves. The materials in the arc-shaped grooves rotate with the steam tubes, and the materials continuously exchange heat with the steam tubes and the arc-shaped sleeve during the rotation. When rotating to the discharge trough, the materials are discharged. During the process of discharging the materials through the guiding arc plate, the outer wall of the arc-shaped sleeve continuously exchanges heat with the materials. After the materials complete heat exchange with the first row of steam tubes, they fall downward and enter the second row of steam tubes for heat exchange. In this cycle, after the materials complete heat exchange with the last row of steam tubes, they fall back to the aggregate area again. During the drying process of the materials by this equipment, the materials falling in the blanking area can maintain a continuous and stable contact state with the steam tubes, completely avoiding the phenomenon of materials colliding and bouncing in traditional equipment, greatly increasing the effective heat exchange time between the materials and the surface of the steam tubes, and the surface of the steam tubes is always evenly covered by the materials, maximizing the use of the heating area and greatly improving the drying efficiency;

[0023] 2. This equipment can achieve the uniform distribution and stable flow of materials in the blanking area. During the drying process, the materials fall evenly, forming a stable material curtain, ensuring that there is always an even material coverage around the steam tubes. This evenly distributed material flow increases the effective contact area between the materials and the steam tubes, systematically improving the heat conduction efficiency, and the even material distribution avoids the phenomena of local overheating or insufficient drying, ensuring the consistency of the material drying quality;

[0024] 3. The arc-shaped grooves on the outer wall of the fixed steam tubes in the aggregate area increase the heat exchange area with the materials. During the drying process of the materials in the aggregate area by the steam tubes in the aggregate area, the rotating feeding plate continuously transports the materials upward. The materials in the aggregate area move towards the notch of the fixed arc plate, and the materials continuously move and make full contact with the surface of the steam tubes, so that the drying of the materials in the aggregate area is more uniform;

[0025] 4. During the drying process of the materials, the baffle ring drives the dialing plate to rotate, and the dialing plate flips the materials between the baffle ring and the fixed circular plate, so that the drying of the materials in this area is more uniform. Description of the Drawings

The telescopic ends of the reciprocating telescopic cylinders 36 are fixedly connected to the control board 37.

[0050] Above line A is the blanking area, and below line A is the aggregate area.

[0051] The working principle of this device is as follows:

[0052] When drying the material, the hot steam provided by the external steam system passes through the steam tube bank 12 and the arc-shaped ventilation grooves 29 in the arc-shaped sleeve 14, and then continuously exchanges heat with the steam tube bank 12 and the arc-shaped sleeve 14. The driving motor 10 drives the rotary kiln body 6 to rotate, and then drives the guide plate 22 and the baffle ring 15 to rotate. When the guide plate 22 passes through the opening area of the fixed arc plate 24, the material in the aggregate area fills the area between two adjacent guide plates 22. When the guide plate 22 rotates upward, it transports the material. When the material is transported to the highest position, it enters the material box 16 through the leakage trough 25. At the same time, the reciprocating telescopic cylinder 36 drives the dialing plate 17 to reciprocate, and then stirs the material in the material box 16, so that the material is evenly distributed in the material box 16. The material in the material box 16 uniformly falls downward through the leakage holes 26 and is collected by the uppermost row of aggregate plates 20. The servo motor 34 drives the steam tube bank 12 in the blanking area to rotate. During the rotation of the steam tube bank 12, the material between the aggregate plates 20 continuously fills into the arc-shaped groove 27. The material in the arc-shaped groove 27 rotates with the steam tube bank 12, and the material continuously exchanges heat with the steam tube bank 12 and the arc-shaped sleeve 14 during the rotation. When it rotates to the discharge chute 31, the material is discharged. During the process of discharging the material through the guide arc plate 32, the outer wall of the arc-shaped sleeve 14 continuously exchanges heat with the material. After the material completes heat exchange with the first row of steam tube banks 12, it falls downward and enters the second row of steam tube banks 12 for heat exchange, and so on. After the material completes heat exchange with the last row of steam tube banks 12, it falls back to the aggregate area again. During the drying process of the material by this equipment, the material falling in the blanking area can maintain a continuous and stable contact state with the steam tube bank 12, completely avoiding the phenomenon of the material colliding and bouncing in the traditional equipment, greatly increasing the effective heat exchange time between the material and the surface of the steam tube bank 12, and the surface of the steam tube bank 12 is always evenly covered by the material, maximizing the use of the heating area and greatly improving the drying efficiency;

[0053] The equipment can achieve uniform distribution and stable flow of materials in the material drop zone. During the drying process, the materials fall evenly to form a stable material curtain, ensuring that the steam tubes 12 are always evenly covered with materials. This evenly distributed material flow increases the effective contact area between the materials and the steam tubes 12, thereby systematically improving the heat transfer efficiency. In addition, the even material distribution avoids local overheating or insufficient drying, ensuring the consistency of material drying quality.

[0054] The arc-shaped grooves 27 on the outer walls of the fixed steam tubes 12 in the gathering area increase the heat exchange area with the material. During the process of the steam tubes 12 in the gathering area drying the material in the gathering area, the rotating guide plates 22 continuously transport the material upward, and the material in the gathering area moves toward the notch of the fixed arc plate 24. The material continues to move and fully contacts the surface of the steam tubes 12, thereby making the material in the gathering area dry more evenly.

[0055] During the material drying process, the retaining ring 15 drives the toggle plate 21 to rotate, and the toggle plate 21 turns the material between the retaining ring 15 and the fixed circular plate 13, thereby making the material in this area dry more evenly;

[0056] After the material is dried, the telescopic cylinder 39 is driven to slide the sliding L-shaped plate 40, and the support frame 2 rotates upward to lift the feed end of the equipment. The limiting support wheel 9 restricts the roller 7 to prevent it from axial sliding, and the discharge valve 8 is opened. At the same time, the rotary kiln body 6 continues to rotate, and the material in the rotary kiln body 6 is discharged through the discharge valve 8. After the material is discharged, the material to be dried is added through the feed valve 4.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein.
