Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drying equipment, and in particular relates to special drying equipment for xanthan gum. Background Art

[0002] Xanthan gum is a microbial exopolysaccharide produced by fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris. Primarily used as a thickener, its unique properties have led to its widespread use in food, cosmetics, chemicals, and other fields.

[0003] The xanthan gum production process primarily involves strain preparation and expansion, fermentation, fermentation broth pretreatment, separation and purification, xanthan gum precipitation and dehydration, drying, and finished product packaging. Drying is a crucial step in the production process and also consumes the most energy.

[0004] Conventional xanthan gum drying usually uses ordinary fluidized bed dryers. Although this can dry xanthan gum, the wet xanthan gum material has a certain stickiness when entering the fluidized bed dryer, and is more likely to stick together and stick to the inner wall of the dryer. This requires the dryer to work for a certain amount of time before the wet material can be dispersed and dried, which wastes a lot of energy and invisibly increases the company's production costs. Therefore, a special xanthan gum drying equipment is needed to overcome the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a special drying equipment for xanthan gum. The present invention can break up the wet material entering the equipment while drying the xanthan gum, which not only effectively improves the drying speed, but also reduces energy use and reduces the production cost of the enterprise. During the xanthan gum drying process, a scraping device can be used to scrape the inner wall of the equipment near the feed port to prevent the wet xanthan gum from sticking to the inner wall of the equipment, thereby reducing the maintenance cycle of the equipment. At the same time, the hanging mechanism can also gradually push the material to the discharge port, facilitating the continuous production of the drying equipment.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, when xanthan gum is dried, the xanthan gum wet material enters the equipment from the feeding component, and the xanthan gum wet material falls onto the drying bed. The vibration motor is started, and the vibration motor drives the upper shell and the lower shell to slide vertically back and forth. During the vertical reciprocating sliding of the lower shell, the xanthan gum on the drying bed is driven to vibrate, which helps to disperse the xanthan gum wet material. Then, hot air is blown in from the air inlet hose. The drying bed is provided with air holes. After the hot air enters the lower shell, the xanthan gum wet material is blown up through the air holes, so that the xanthan gum is in a fluidized state. During the vertical reciprocating sliding of the upper shell, The driving bracket drives the disturbance rod to whip the xanthan gum in the air, effectively breaking up the xanthan gum, allowing the xanthan gum to fully contact with hot air, accelerating the drying of the xanthan gum, and reducing energy loss. At the same time, during the vertical reciprocating sliding of the upper shell, the driving bracket drives the scraping mechanism, which can scrape off the wet xanthan gum material adhering to the inner wall of the upper shell near the feed port, and the scraping mechanism can move progressively on the drying bed, gradually pushing the material on the drying bed to the discharge port, facilitating the discharge of the dried xanthan gum and the subsequent feeding of the wet xanthan gum material, thereby improving the efficiency of continuous operation of the equipment.

[0011] Furthermore, a feed port is provided on one side of the top of the upper shell, the feed component is slidably connected in the feed port, the top of the feed component is fixedly connected to the feed pipe, a plurality of air outlet interfaces are provided on the top of the upper shell, a plurality of air outlet sleeves are provided at the bottom of the air outlet main pipe, the air outlet sleeves are slidably connected to the air outlet interfaces, and one side of the air outlet main pipe is fixedly connected to the gas processing equipment.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, since a feed port is provided on one side of the top of the upper shell, the feed component is slidably connected in the feed port, and the top of the feed component is fixedly connected to the feed pipe, so that the xanthan gum wet material can enter the feed component through the feed pipe, and then fall into the drying bed through the feed component, and the feed component is slidably connected to the feed port, so that when the vibration motor drives the upper shell to vibrate, the upper shell can only slide back and forth vertically, since multiple air outlet interfaces are provided on the top of the upper shell, multiple air outlet sleeves are provided at the bottom of the air outlet main pipe, the air outlet sleeves are slidably connected to the air outlet interfaces, and one side of the air outlet main pipe is fixedly connected to the gas processing equipment, so that the wet air generated by the work in the equipment can enter the gas processing equipment such as the cyclone separator or bag dust collector through the air outlet main pipe, separate the xanthan gum remaining in the wet air, and discharge the wet air, and the air outlet sleeve is slidably connected to the air outlet interface, so that when the vibration motor electrically vibrates the upper shell, the upper shell can only slide back and forth vertically.

The disturbance belt is made of flexible high-temperature resistant material. When the disturbance rod rotates forward or reversely, the disturbance plate can drive the disturbance belt to whip the xanthan gum in the air, break up the xanthan gum, increase the contact area between the xanthan gum and the hot air, and effectively improve the drying efficiency of the xanthan gum. The disturbance plates on adjacent disturbance rods are staggered so that the disturbance belts on adjacent disturbance rods will not interfere with each other.

[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of first racks are fixedly connected to the driving bracket, the driven gear is arranged on the outside of the upper shell, and the first racks are meshed with the driven gear.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, since a plurality of first racks are fixedly connected to the driving bracket, the driven gear is arranged on the outside of the upper shell, and the first rack is engaged with the driven gear, when the vibration motor drives the upper shell to slide vertically back and forth, the first rack drives the driven gear to rotate forward and backward periodically, that is, drives the disturbance rod to rotate forward and backward periodically, and each rotation of the disturbance rod will not exceed 180 degrees, thereby realizing the disturbance belt whipping the suspended xanthan gum. In addition, the weight of the tail end of the disturbance belt can be increased to enhance the whipping effect of the disturbance belt.

[0019] Furthermore, the scraper mechanism includes a conveyor belt, a driven roller and a driving roller. There are three driven rollers, which are rotatably connected in the upper shell. There is one driving roller, which is rotatably connected in the upper shell. The driven roller and the driving roller are symmetrically arranged in the upper shell. There are two groups of conveyor belts, which are sleeved on the front and rear ends of the driven roller and the driving roller.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, since the driven roller and the driving roller are symmetrically arranged in the upper shell, there are two groups of conveyor belts, and the conveyor belts are placed on the front and rear ends of the driven roller and the driving roller, so that the rotation of the driving roller can drive the conveyor belt to move, and the cooperation of the driving roller and the driven roller will stretch the conveyor belt so that the conveyor belt does not hinder the rotation of the disturbance rod.

[0021] Furthermore, a plurality of scrapers are fixedly connected to the conveyor belt at equal intervals.

[0022] With the above technical solution, since a plurality of scrapers are fixedly connected to the conveyor belt at equal intervals, the conveyor belt can drive the scrapers to move when it moves, and the movement of the scrapers can scrape the inner wall of the upper shell and the top of the drying bed.

[0023] Furthermore, the front end of the active roller is fixedly connected to a base plate, the base plate is arranged on the outside of the upper shell, the base plate is rotatably connected to a driven gear ring, the base plate is rotatably connected to arc-shaped teeth, the arc-shaped teeth are arranged in the driven gear ring, an arc-shaped limiting groove is arranged on the base plate, and the arc-shaped teeth are rotatably connected in the arc-shaped limiting groove.

[0025] Furthermore, a plurality of arcuate internal teeth are provided in the driven gear ring, and the arcuate teeth are in one-way meshing with the arcuate internal teeth.

[0026] With the above technical solution, since a plurality of arcuate internal teeth are provided in the driven gear ring, the arcuate teeth mesh with the arcuate internal teeth in one direction, so that when the driven gear ring rotates forward, the arcuate teeth mesh with the arcuate internal teeth, thereby causing the driven gear ring to drive the active roller to rotate forward, and when the driven gear ring rotates backward, the arcuate teeth do not mesh with the arcuate internal teeth, so that the active roller does not rotate;

[0027] When the active roller rotates forward, it can drive the scraper on the side of the conveyor belt close to the feed port to move from top to bottom, so that the scraper can scrape the wet xanthan gum adhering to the inner wall of the upper shell and drop it onto the drying bed. At the same time, it can drive the scraper under the conveyor belt to move toward the discharge port, that is, the scraper on the drying bed moves toward the discharge port, and assists in moving the dried xanthan gum toward the discharge port.

[0032] (2) When the vibration motor in the present invention drives the upper shell to slide vertically back and forth, the second rack drives the driven gear ring to rotate forward and backward periodically. The driven gear ring is engaged with the active roller in one direction, so that the active roller rotates forward periodically with intervals, which can drive the scraper on the side of the conveyor belt close to the feed port to move from top to bottom, so that the scraper can scrape the wet xanthan gum material adhering to the inner wall of the upper shell and drop it onto the drying bed.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0046] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, a xanthan gum drying device includes an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2, the upper shell 1 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the lower shell 2, the top of the lower shell 2 is fixedly connected to a drying bed 24, one side of the top of the upper shell 1 is slidably connected to a feeding component 6, the other side of the bottom of the upper shell 1 is provided with a discharge port 12, both sides of the lower shell 2 are fixedly connected to a vibration motor 21, the rear side of the lower shell 2 is provided with an air inlet hose 22, and the top of the upper shell 1 is slidably connected to an air outlet main pipe 7;

[0047] A plurality of disturbance rods 3 are rotatably connected in the upper shell 1, and a scraping mechanism 4 is also provided in the upper shell 1;

[0048] A driving bracket 5 is provided on the front side of the lower housing 2 and is fixedly connected to the ground;

[0049] The vibration motor 21 can drive the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 to slide vertically back and forth, and the driving bracket 5 can drive the disturbance rod 3 and the scraping mechanism 4 when the upper shell 1 slides vertically.

[0050] In this embodiment, when xanthan gum is dried, the xanthan gum wet material enters the equipment from the feeding component 6, and the xanthan gum wet material falls onto the drying bed 24. The vibration motor 21 is started, and the vibration motor 21 drives the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 to slide vertically back and forth. During the vertical reciprocating sliding of the lower shell 2, the xanthan gum on the drying bed 24 is driven to vibrate, which helps to disperse the xanthan gum wet material. Then, hot air is blown into the drying bed 24 from the air inlet hose 22. Air holes are provided on the drying bed 24. After the hot air enters the lower shell 2, the xanthan gum wet material is blown up through the air holes, so that the xanthan gum is in a fluidized state. During the vertical reciprocating sliding of the upper shell 1, the xanthan gum is driven to The dynamic bracket 5 drives the disturbance rod 3 to whip the xanthan gum in the air, effectively breaking up the xanthan gum, allowing the xanthan gum to fully contact with hot air, accelerating the drying of the xanthan gum, and reducing energy loss. At the same time, during the vertical reciprocating sliding of the upper shell 1, the driving bracket 5 drives the scraping mechanism 4, and the scraping mechanism 4 can scrape off the xanthan gum wet material adhered to the inner wall of the upper shell 1 near the feed port 11, and the scraping mechanism 4 can move progressively on the drying bed 24, gradually pushing the material on the drying bed 24 to the discharge port 12, facilitating the discharge of the dried xanthan gum and the subsequent feeding of the xanthan gum wet material, thereby improving the efficiency of continuous operation of the equipment.

[0051] like Figure 4 - Figure 5 As shown, a feed port 11 is provided on one side of the top of the upper shell 1, a feed component 6 is slidably connected in the feed port 11, the top of the feed component 6 is fixedly connected to the feed pipe, a plurality of air outlet interfaces 13 are provided on the top of the upper shell 1, a plurality of air outlet sleeves 71 are provided on the bottom of the air outlet main pipe 7, the air outlet sleeves 71 are slidably connected to the air outlet interfaces 13, and one side of the air outlet main pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the gas processing equipment;

[0052] A support leg is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower shell 2, and a support leg casing 23 is fixedly connected to the ground below the lower shell 2. The support leg is slidably connected in the support leg casing 23, and a buffer spring 231 is fixedly connected in the support leg casing 23. The top of the buffer spring 231 is fixedly connected to the support leg.

[0053] In this embodiment, the xanthan gum wet material can enter the feed component 6 through the feed pipe, and then fall into the drying bed 24 through the feed component 6. The wet air generated by the operation of the equipment can enter the gas treatment equipment such as the cyclone separator or the bag dust collector through the air outlet main pipe 7, and the residual xanthan gum in the wet air can be separated and the wet air can be discharged.

[0054] When the vibration motor 21 is working, it can drive the lower shell 2 to vibrate. The lower shell 2 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 1, so that the vibration motor 21 can drive the upper shell 1 to vibrate at the same time. Due to the limitation of the feed port 11 on the feed component 6, the limitation of the air outlet sleeve 71 on the air outlet interface 13, and the limitation of the support leg casing 23 on the support legs, when the vibration motor 21 drives the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 to vibrate, the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 can only slide back and forth vertically, and the vertical reciprocating sliding of the lower shell 2 can drive the drying bed 24 to slide back and forth vertically, and then drive the xanthan gum on the drying bed 24 to vibrate, thereby assisting the dispersion of the xanthan gum and helping the drying of the xanthan gum.

[0055] like Figure 6 - Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of disturbance plates 32 are symmetrically connected to both sides of the disturbance rod 3. The disturbance plates 32 are distributed in an array on both sides of the disturbance rod 3. A disturbance belt 33 is fixedly connected to the disturbance plate 32. A driven gear 31 is fixedly connected to the front end of the disturbance rod 3.

[0056] A plurality of first racks 51 are fixedly connected to the driving bracket 5 . The driven gear 31 is arranged on the outside of the upper housing 1 . The first racks 51 are meshed with the driven gear 31 .

[0057] In this embodiment, when the vibration motor 21 drives the upper shell 1 to slide vertically back and forth, the first rack 51 drives the driven gear 31 to rotate forward and reverse periodically, that is, drives the disturbance rod 3 to rotate forward and reverse periodically. When the disturbance rod 3 rotates forward and reverse periodically, the disturbance plate 32 can drive the disturbance belt 33 to whip the xanthan gum in the air, breaking up the xanthan gum, increasing the contact area between the xanthan gum and the hot air, and effectively improving the drying efficiency of the xanthan gum.

[0058] The disturbance plates 32 are distributed in an array on both sides of the disturbance rod 3 at intervals, so that the disturbance plates 32 will not block the xanthan gum on the drying bed 24 from being vacated, and the disturbance plates 32 will not block the xanthan gum above from falling onto the drying bed 24. The disturbance plates 32 on adjacent disturbance rods 3 are staggered so that the disturbance belts 33 on adjacent disturbance rods 3 will not interfere with each other.

[0059] like Figure 8 - Figure 11 As shown, the scraper mechanism 4 includes a conveyor belt 41, a driven roller 42 and a driving roller 43. Three driven rollers 42 are provided, which are rotatably connected to the upper shell 1. One driving roller 43 is provided, which is rotatably connected to the upper shell 1. The driven rollers 42 and the driving rollers 43 are symmetrically arranged in the upper shell 1. The conveyor belts 41 are divided into two groups, and the conveyor belts 41 are sleeved on the front and rear ends of the driven rollers 42 and the driving rollers 43.

[0060] A plurality of scrapers 411 are fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 41 at equal intervals;

[0061] The front end of the active roller 43 is fixedly connected to a base plate 433, which is arranged on the outside of the upper shell 1. The base plate 433 is rotatably connected to the driven ring gear 431, and the base plate 433 is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped teeth 432. The arc-shaped teeth 432 are arranged in the driven ring gear 431. The base plate 433 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove, and the arc-shaped teeth 432 are rotatably connected in the arc-shaped limiting groove.

[0062] A plurality of arcuate internal teeth 4311 are provided in the driven gear ring 431 , and the arcuate teeth 432 are in one-way meshing with the arcuate internal teeth 4311 ;

[0063] A second rack 52 is fixedly connected to the driving bracket 5 , and a plurality of external teeth are provided on the outer side of the driven ring gear 431 . The second rack 52 meshes with the external teeth of the driven ring gear 431 .

[0064] In this embodiment, when the vibration motor 21 drives the upper housing 1 to slide vertically back and forth, the second rack 52 drives the driven ring gear 431 to rotate forward and backward periodically. The arcuate teeth 432 can only rotate within the arcuate limiting groove through a limited angle, thereby achieving one-way meshing of the arcuate teeth 432 with the arcuate inner teeth 4311, that is, one-way meshing of the driven ring gear 431 with the active roller 43.

[0065] When the driven gear ring 431 rotates forward, the arcuate teeth 432 mesh with the arcuate inner teeth 4311, so that the driven gear ring 431 drives the active roller 43 to rotate forward. When the driven gear ring 431 rotates backward, the arcuate teeth 432 do not mesh with the arcuate inner teeth 4311, so that the active roller 43 does not rotate, and the active roller 43 rotates forward with periodic intermittent rotation.

[0066] When the active roller 43 rotates forward, it can drive the scraper 411 on the side of the conveyor belt 41 close to the feed port 11 to move from top to bottom, so that the scraper 411 can scrape the wet xanthan gum material adhering to the inner wall of the upper shell 1 and drop it onto the drying bed 24. At the same time, it can drive the scraper 411 under the conveyor belt 41 to move toward the discharge port 12, that is, the scraper 411 on the drying bed 24 moves toward the discharge port 12, and the xanthan gum that has been assisted in drying moves toward the discharge port 12.

[0067] Working principle:

[0068] During operation, the xanthan gum wet material enters the equipment from the feeding component 6 and falls onto the drying bed 24. The vibration motor 21 is started, and the vibration motor 21 drives the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 to slide vertically back and forth. During the vertical reciprocating sliding of the lower shell 2, the xanthan gum on the drying bed 24 is driven to vibrate, helping to disperse the xanthan gum wet material. Then, hot air is blown into the drying bed 24 from the air inlet hose 22. The drying bed 24 is provided with air holes. After the hot air enters the lower shell 2, the xanthan gum wet material is blown up through the air holes, so that the xanthan gum is in a fluidized state.

[0069] When the vibration motor 21 drives the upper housing 1 to slide vertically back and forth, the first rack 51 drives the driven gear 31 to rotate forward and reverse periodically, that is, drives the disturbance rod 3 to rotate forward and reverse periodically. When the disturbance rod 3 rotates forward and reverse periodically, the disturbance plate 32 can drive the disturbance belt 33 to whip the xanthan gum in the air, breaking up the xanthan gum, increasing the contact area between the xanthan gum and the hot air, and effectively improving the drying efficiency of the xanthan gum.

[0070] At the same time, when the vibration motor 21 drives the upper housing 1 to slide vertically back and forth, the second rack 52 drives the driven ring gear 431 to rotate forward and backward periodically. The arcuate teeth 432 can only rotate within the arcuate limiting groove to a limited angle, thereby achieving one-way meshing between the arcuate teeth 432 and the arcuate inner teeth 4311, that is, one-way meshing between the driven ring gear 431 and the active roller 43.

[0071] When the driven gear ring 431 rotates forward, the arcuate teeth 432 mesh with the arcuate inner teeth 4311, so that the driven gear ring 431 drives the active roller 43 to rotate forward. When the driven gear ring 431 rotates backward, the arcuate teeth 432 do not mesh with the arcuate inner teeth 4311, so that the active roller 43 does not rotate, thereby achieving periodic intermittent forward rotation of the active roller 43.

[0072] When the active roller 43 rotates forward, it can drive the scraper 411 on the side of the conveyor belt 41 close to the feed port 11 to move downward, so that the scraper 411 can scrape the wet xanthan gum material adhering to the inner wall of the upper shell 1 and drop it onto the drying bed 24. At the same time, it can drive the scraper 411 below the conveyor belt 41 to move toward the discharge port 12, that is, the scraper 411 on the drying bed 24 moves toward the discharge port 12, and the xanthan gum that has been assisted in drying moves toward the discharge port 12.

[0073] The humid air generated during operation in the equipment can enter into gas processing equipment such as a cyclone separator or a bag dust collector through the air outlet main pipe 7, separate the residual xanthan gum in the humid air, remove the humid air, and collect the dried xanthan gum in a unified manner before proceeding with subsequent packaging and other processes.

[0074] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
