Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lotus root starch processing equipment, and particularly relates to an integrated machine for forming, drying and granulating lotus root starch. Background Art

[0002] With the development of food processing technology, the demand for the treatment of powdery materials such as lotus root starch is increasing day by day. Traditional granulation methods mainly rely on methods such as rotary extrusion to achieve granulation, but this method has certain limitations, especially the problems in production efficiency and product quality are gradually emerging. Most of the granulation equipment on the market currently uses the method of rotary extrusion for granulation, that is, the material is compressed and formed by mechanical force and cut into particles. Although this method can meet the basic production requirements, some significant problems have also been exposed in practical applications: due to the difficulty in precisely controlling the distribution and force of the material during the rotary extrusion process, the finally formed particles have irregular shapes, and the irregular edges and corners are prone to breakage and become powder, affecting the appearance and brewing effect. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an integrated machine for forming, drying and granulating lotus root starch. By discharging the particles generated by the rotation and extrusion of the extrusion blade and the extrusion cylinder between the fixed plate and the rotating plate for rounding, the particle shape is regular, ensuring the appearance and brewing effect.

[0004] The above technical purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] An integrated machine for forming, drying and granulating lotus root starch includes a base. A granulation component is provided at the upper end of the base, and a drying component cooperating with the granulation component is provided on one side of the base. The granulation component includes a first rotation motor, a support plate, an extrusion cylinder, a support cylinder, an extrusion blade, a stirring blade, a material receiving ring, an adjustment component, a fixed plate, a power component and a rotating plate. The first rotation motor is arranged in the base, the support plate is arranged at the upper end of the base, the output shaft of the first rotation motor penetrates upward through the support plate and is detachably connected to the extrusion blade and the stirring blade. The stirring blade is arranged above the extrusion blade. The extrusion cylinder is detachably arranged on the peripheral side of the upper end of the support plate. The extrusion cylinder communicates with the upper end of the extrusion cylinder. The extrusion blade is used in cooperation with the extrusion cylinder. The material receiving ring is sleeved on the peripheral side of the lower end of the extrusion cylinder. The rotating plate is arranged at the lower end of the material receiving ring. The power component is connected to the rotating plate. The fixed plate is arranged above the rotating plate. The peripheral sides of the material receiving ring, the rotating plate and the fixed plate are all inclined downward. The fixed plate is connected to the material receiving ring through the adjustment component. The adjustment component is used to adjust the height of the fixed plate. A discharge chute is connected to the lower side of the peripheral side of the rotating plate. The right end of the discharge chute is inclined downward and extends to the drying component.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the first rotating motor drives the extrusion blades to rotate, extruding the material into particles towards the extrusion cylinder. Then the particles roll from the material receiving ring into the space between the rotating disc and the stationary disc for rounding, making the shape of the particles regular and ensuring the shape and brewing effect.

[0007] The further setting of the present invention is that: the power mechanism includes a second rotating motor, a gear and an internal gear ring. The internal gear ring is rotatably connected to the lower end of the rotating disc. The second rotating motor is connected to the base. The output shaft of the second rotating motor is connected to the gear, and the gear meshes with the internal gear ring.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the second rotating motor drives the internal gear ring to rotate through the gear, thereby driving the rotating disc to rotate.

[0009] The further setting of the present invention is that: there are multiple adjusting components, and the multiple adjusting components are evenly arranged on the upper end of the stirring blades. The adjusting component includes a vertical rod, a screw rod, a slider, a handle and a connecting ring. The lower end of the vertical rod is connected to the material receiving ring. A chute is formed in the middle of the vertical rod. The screw rod is arranged in the chute. The upper end of the screw rod penetrates through the upper end of the vertical rod and is connected to the handle. The lower end and the upper end of the screw rod are rotatably connected to the vertical rod. The slider is arranged in the chute. The slider is slidably connected to the chute. The slider is threadedly connected to the screw rod. A through groove is formed on one side of the vertical rod close to the stationary disc. The slider is connected to the connecting ring through the through groove. The lower end of the connecting ring is connected to the stationary disc.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, rotating the handle can make the screw rod rotate, thereby adjusting the height of the slider and further adjusting the height of the stationary disc to cooperate with particles of different sizes.

[0011] The further setting of the present invention is that: scale lines are provided on the outer side of the vertical rod.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to adjust the height of the stationary disc.

[0013] The further setting of the present invention is that: a support rod is provided on the upper end of the stirring blade. A cross bar is provided on the upper end of the support rod. The middle of the cross bar is connected to the support rod. The two ends of the cross bar extend to the outside of the extrusion cylinder. Extension rods are connected to the lower sides of the two ends of the cross bar. A rotating sleeve is detachably connected to the extension rod. The rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the extension rod. A torsion spring is provided between the rotating sleeve and the extension rod. A scraping plate is provided on the outer side of the rotating sleeve. One side of the scraping plate away from the rotating sleeve fits against the outer side of the extrusion cylinder by the elasticity of the torsion spring.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the stirring blades is used to drive the rotation of the support rod, the cross bar, the extension rod, the rotating sleeve and the scraper. The scraper scrapes off the particles extruded from the extrusion cylinder, so that the particles are produced evenly.

[0015] A further setting of the present invention is that: the drying assembly includes a conveyor belt, a cover body, a microwave generating system and a moisture exhaust pipe. The cover body is arranged at the upper end of the conveyor belt. The microwave generating system is arranged inside the cover body. The moisture exhaust pipe is communicated with the upper end of the cover body.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, microwave is used for drying.

[0017] A further setting of the present invention is that: a plurality of dispersion assemblies are arranged above the conveyor belt. The dispersion assembly includes a connecting rod and a plurality of stirring rods. The connecting rod is installed in the cover body in the front-back direction. A plurality of stirring rods are vertically installed at equal intervals from front to back at the lower end of the connecting rod. The lower end of the stirring rod is attached to the upper end of the conveyor belt. The stirring rods between adjacent two dispersion assemblies are staggered with each other.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the stirring rods on the dispersion assembly push aside the particles on the conveyor belt, so that the water vapor can be dispersed separately.

[0019] A further setting of the present invention is that: the cross section of the stirring rod is in the shape of a water droplet, and the tip of the stirring rod faces left.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to push aside the materials.

[0021] To sum up, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] Secondly, the fixed plate in the present invention can adjust the height of the fixed plate through the adjusting assembly, so as to cope with the use of particles of different sizes, and has a wide application range.

[0024] Thirdly, the scraper in the present invention rotates on the outer side wall of the extrusion cylinder by means of the power of the first rotating motor, and evenly scrapes off the extruded particles, ensuring the uniformity of the extruded particles.

[0025] Fourthly, the present invention can quickly dry the particles by microwave, and the added dispersion assembly can disperse the particles, so that the water vapor can be dispersed more quickly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
