Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically a high-efficiency drying device for lotus root starch production. Background Technology

[0002] Lotus root starch is a common food ingredient and is widely used in the processing of various foods. However, in the process of lotus root starch production, the settled lotus root pulp needs to be filtered and dehydrated to obtain moist lotus root starch. Furthermore, the moist lotus root starch needs to be dried again to finally obtain dry lotus root starch.

[0003] However, traditional methods of drying lotus root starch often involve directly feeding a large amount of moist lotus root starch into the drying equipment at once. This method often has the following problems: On the one hand, because the amount of lotus root starch fed at one time is too large, the drying speed is slow and the drying is incomplete, requiring a long time and multiple drying processes; on the other hand, because the lotus root starch is moist and has too many clumps, it is easy for agglomeration to occur during the drying process, resulting in uneven drying of the lotus root starch, wasting energy and reducing drying efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the drying efficiency of lotus root starch, ensure the uniformity of drying, and avoid agglomeration of lotus root starch has become an urgent problem to be solved in the processing of lotus root starch. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a drying device that can thoroughly dry the product.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the above objectives is: a high-efficiency drying device for lotus root starch production, comprising a drying box, a feeding mechanism, a drying mechanism, and a drive motor, wherein the drying box comprises a feeding box chamber, a guiding box chamber, and a drying box chamber connected sequentially from top to bottom;

[0007] The feeding mechanism includes a feeding hopper, a stepping feeding component, and a dispersing component. The feeding hopper is fixedly connected to the upper part of the feeding chamber. The stepping feeding component is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding hopper. The dispersing component is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stepping feeding component. The dispersing component and the stepping feeding component are both located in the feeding chamber. The drying mechanism is provided at the bottom of the dispersing component.

[0008] The drying mechanism includes a slow-speed feeding component, a drying bed component, and a drive-tilting component. The slow-speed feeding component is provided in the material guide box chamber. The slow-speed feeding component is used to reduce the falling speed of the material. The drying bed component is provided in the drying box chamber in conjunction with the slow-speed feeding component. The drying bed component can generate heat. The drive-tilting component is provided in the drying box in conjunction with the drying bed component.

[0009] The drive motor is fixedly connected to the drying box. The drive motor is powered to the dispersing component. The dispersing component includes a dispersing table that can perform reciprocating linear motion. The dispersing table and the stepping feeding component are powered to each other through a linkage component. After the dispersing table performs multiple reciprocating motions, the stepping feeding component can perform one feeding under the action of the linkage component.

[0010] The drive motor is powered by the drive tilting component, which enables the drive tilting component to drive the drying bed component to reciprocate.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the structure of the stepping feeder is as follows:

[0012] The stepping feeding component includes an outer feeding cylinder, an inner feeding cylinder, a worm gear, and a worm wheel. The top of the outer feeding cylinder has a feed inlet, and the bottom of the outer feeding cylinder has a discharge outlet. The outer feeding cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed hopper, and the feed inlet corresponds to the bottom opening of the feed hopper. The inner feeding cylinder is rotatably connected to the inside of the outer feeding cylinder via a shaft. The inner feeding cylinder has multiple sets of storage grooves. When the inner feeding cylinder rotates, the storage grooves can be aligned with the feed inlet or the discharge outlet. One end of the shaft extends out of the outer feeding cylinder, and the worm wheel is fixedly connected to the area of ​​the shaft located on the outside. The worm gear is rotatably connected to the outer feeding cylinder, and the worm gear meshes with the worm wheel. The dispersing table and the worm gear are poweredly connected through the linkage assembly.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the dispersing component adopts the following structure:

[0014] The dispersing component further includes a dispersing frame, a sliding column, a screen, and a reciprocating screw. The dispersing frame is fixedly connected to the outer feeding cylinder, and the screen is fixedly connected to the dispersing frame. The screen corresponds to the discharge port. The sliding column is fixedly connected inside the dispersing frame, and the dispersing platform is slidably connected to the sliding column. Brush bristles are fixedly connected to the bottom of the dispersing platform, and the reciprocating screw is threadedly connected to the dispersing platform. The reciprocating screw and the worm gear are poweredly connected through the linkage component, and the reciprocating screw is poweredly connected to the drive motor.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the linkage component adopts the following structure:

[0016] The linkage component includes a component frame, a one-way drive rack, and a drive gear. The component frame is fixedly connected to the disassembly platform, and the one-way drive rack is fixedly connected to the component frame. The drive gear is fixedly connected to the worm gear. The drive gear cooperates with the one-way drive rack. When the disassembly platform moves the one-way drive rack closer to or away from the drive gear, the one-way drive rack can drive the drive gear to rotate. When the disassembly platform moves the one-way drive rack away from or closer to the drive gear, the one-way drive rack cannot drive the drive gear to rotate.

[0017] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the unidirectional drive rack includes a rack base plate, a gear platform, and an elastic element. The rack base plate is fixedly connected to the component frame. The rack base plate is provided with multiple sets of tooth grooves. A set of gear platforms is rotatably connected in each set of tooth grooves. The elastic element is fixedly connected in each set of tooth grooves. The elastic element abuts against the gear platform. The elastic element can push the gear platform and the rack base plate to be in a perpendicular state, and one side of the gear platform abuts against one side of the tooth groove.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the slow feeding component includes multiple sets of buffer plates, which are fixedly connected to the inside of the guide box chamber in an inclined and staggered manner.

[0019] In the above technical solution, the specific structure of the drying bed component is as follows:

[0020] The drying bed component includes a drying bed, a heating element, a sealing assembly, and an opening / closing controller. The drying bed is rotatably connected inside the drying chamber, and the heating element is fixedly connected inside the drying bed. One end of the drying bed is provided with a discharge port, and the sealing assembly is provided on the drying bed corresponding to the discharge port. The opening / closing controller is provided on the drying chamber in conjunction with the sealing assembly. The opening / closing controller can control the sealing assembly to close or open the discharge port. The bottom of the drying chamber is provided with a dry material outlet corresponding to the discharge port.

[0021] The drive tilting component can drive the drying bed to reciprocate.

[0022] Furthermore, the sealing assembly includes a sealing plate, a first spring, a guide frame, and a guide post. The guide frame is fixedly connected to the drying bed corresponding to the discharge port. The guide post is fixedly connected to the guide frame. The sealing plate is slidably connected to the guide post. The first spring is sleeved on the guide post. One end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the guide frame, and the other end is fixedly connected to the sealing plate. A moving arm is fixedly connected to the sealing plate. One end of the moving arm passes through the guide frame and is fixedly connected to an adsorption platform.

[0023] The opening and closing controller uses an electromagnet, which works in conjunction with the adsorption platform.

[0024] Furthermore, the drive tilting component includes a cam, a telescopic spring cylinder, and a wheel axle. A shaft platform is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the drying bed. The shaft platform is rotatably connected to the drying chamber. The wheel axle is rotatably connected to one side of the shaft platform inside the drying chamber. The cam is fixedly connected to the wheel axle and abuts against the bottom surface of the drying bed. The telescopic spring cylinder is rotatably connected to the other side of the shaft platform inside the drying chamber. The telescopic spring cylinder is also rotatably connected to the drying bed. The wheel axle is powered by the drive motor.

[0025] In the above technical solution, a telescopic spring cylinder with the following structure is adopted:

[0026] The telescopic spring cylinder includes a second spring, an outer cylinder, and a telescopic rod. The outer cylinder has a cylinder chamber inside, and the telescopic rod is slidably connected to the cylinder chamber. The second spring is located in the cylinder chamber. One end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cylinder chamber. The top end of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the drying box, and the bottom end of the outer cylinder is rotatably connected to the drying box chamber.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0028] The damp lotus root starch can be fed into the hopper, and then the drive motor drives the dispersing component to work. At this time, the dispersing table performs reciprocating linear motion. Under the action of the linkage component, after the dispersing table has reciprocated multiple times, the stepping feeding component can quantitatively feed the lotus root starch in the hopper onto the dispersing component. After the lotus root starch is dispersed by the dispersing table, it enters the guide box chamber. The slow feeding component slows down the feeding speed of the lotus root starch and further disperses the lotus root starch by collision, so that the lotus root starch can be pre-dried in the guide box chamber. After that, the lotus root starch falls onto the drying bed component at the bottom. The high temperature of the drying component dries the lotus root starch, and the drive turning component drives the drying bed component to reciprocate, thereby continuously turning the lotus root starch.

[0029] In summary, this device allows for the gradual feeding of lotus root starch, thus avoiding excessive feeding at once, which can lead to incomplete drying and require prolonged or repeated drying processes, thereby reducing drying efficiency.

[0030] In addition, the damp lotus root starch is broken up by the dispersing component before drying, which can avoid the damp clumps of lotus root starch from drying incompletely and affecting the drying efficiency.

[0031] Furthermore, the lotus root starch is constantly turned over during the drying process on the drying bed components, which ensures that the lotus root starch dries evenly and achieves excellent drying results. Attached Figure Description

[0052] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] Please see Figures 1-3 A high-efficiency drying device for lotus root starch production includes a drying box 100, a feeding mechanism 200, a drying mechanism 300, and a drive motor 400. The drying box 100 includes a feeding box chamber 101, a guiding box chamber 102, and a drying box chamber 103 connected sequentially from top to bottom.

[0055] Combined Figures 4-7Firstly, the feeding mechanism 200 includes a feeding hopper 201, a stepping feeder 202, and a dispersing component 203. Both the dispersing component 203 and the stepping feeder 202 are located within the feeding chamber 101. Specifically, the feeding hopper 201 is fixedly connected to the feeding chamber 101, and the stepping feeder 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding hopper 201. The stepping feeder 202 is used to gradually feed the lotus root starch in the feeding hopper 201... For feeding, specifically, the stepping feeder 202 includes an outer feed cylinder 2021, an inner feed cylinder 2022, a worm gear 2023, and a worm wheel 2024. The outer feed cylinder 2021 has a feed inlet at its top and a discharge outlet 2025 at its bottom. The outer feed cylinder 2021 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed hopper 201, and the feed inlet corresponds to the bottom opening of the feed hopper 201. The feed is fed through... The shaft 2026 is rotatably connected to the inner feed cylinder 2022. The inner feed cylinder 2022 is provided with four sets of storage grooves 2027. After the inner feed cylinder 2022 rotates 90° each time, one set of storage grooves 2027 can be aligned with the feed inlet, and another set of storage grooves 2027 can be aligned with the discharge outlet 2025. One end of the shaft 2026 extends out of the outer feed cylinder 2021. A worm gear 2 is fixedly connected to the external area of ​​the shaft 2026. 024, A worm gear 2023 is rotatably connected to the outer feeding cylinder 2021. The worm gear 2023 is meshed with the worm wheel 2024, so that the lotus root starch in the feed hopper 201 can fall into the upper storage groove 2027. When the worm gear 2023 rotates, it can cause the worm wheel 2024 to rotate, which in turn causes the inner feeding cylinder 2022 to rotate. In this way, the storage groove 2027 containing the lotus root starch moves downward, and the lotus root starch is poured out from the discharge port 2025.

[0056] Secondly, a dispersing component 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stepping feeder 202. The dispersing component 203 is used to disperse the lotus root starch fed out by the stepping feeder 202. In this embodiment, the dispersing component 203 includes a dispersing frame 2031, a dispersing table 2032, a sliding column 2033, a screen 2034, and a reciprocating screw 2035. That is, the dispersing frame 2031 is fixedly connected to the outer feed cylinder 2021, and the screen 2034 is fixedly connected to the dispersing frame 2031. The screen 2034 corresponds to the discharge port 2025. This causes the lotus root starch to fall onto the sieve 2034. A sliding column 2033 is fixedly connected inside the dispersing frame 2031. A dispersing table 2032 is slidably connected to the sliding column 2033. Brush bristles are fixedly connected to the bottom of the dispersing table 2032. A reciprocating screw 2035 is threadedly connected to the dispersing table 2032. When the reciprocating screw 2035 rotates, the dispersing table 2032 can perform reciprocating linear motion on the sliding column 2033. In this way, the brush bristles brush the lotus root starch, causing the lotus root starch to fall through the holes of the sieve 2034. The lotus root starch fed is in granular form.

[0057] To prevent lotus root starch from falling onto the reciprocating screw 2035 and causing damage, a screw sleeve can be fitted over the reciprocating screw 2035 for protection.

[0058] Of course, in order to provide power to the dispersing component 203 and the stepping feeding component 202, a drive motor 400 is fixedly connected to the drying box 100. The drive motor 400 is powered by the reciprocating screw 2035 in the dispersing component 203. Specifically, the transmission between the two can be achieved by a belt or a pulley.

[0059] Furthermore, the aforementioned dispersing table 2032 and the stepping feeder are powered by a linkage assembly 500. This allows the dispersing table 2032 to perform multiple reciprocating motions, and under the action of the linkage assembly 500, the stepping feeder 202 can perform one feeding operation. In other words, the reciprocating screw 2035 and the worm gear 2023 are powered by the linkage assembly 500. Specifically, the linkage assembly 500 adopts the following structure:

[0060] The linkage component 500 includes a component frame 501, a one-way drive rack 502, and a drive gear 503. Specifically, the component frame 501 is fixedly connected to the disassembly table 2032, the one-way drive rack 502 is fixedly connected to the component frame 501, and the drive gear 503 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 2023. The drive gear 503 engages with the one-way drive rack 502. When the disassembly table 2032 moves the one-way drive rack 502 closer to or further away from the drive gear 503, the one-way drive rack 502 can... When the drive gear 503 rotates, the dispersing table 2032 drives the one-way drive rack 502 away from or near the drive gear 503. The one-way drive rack 502 cannot drive the drive gear 503 to rotate. In other words, the one-way drive rack 502 can only drive the drive gear 503 to rotate in one direction. After the one-way drive rack 502 drives the drive gear 503 multiple times, the worm 2023 can drive the worm wheel 2024 to rotate 90°, thus realizing the feeding of lotus root starch in one operation.

[0061] Furthermore, and in combination Figures 8-10The unidirectional drive rack 502 includes a rack base plate 5021, a gear platform 5022, and an elastic element 5023. The rack base plate 5021 is fixedly connected to the component frame 501. The rack base plate 5021 has multiple sets of toothed grooves 5024, each set of toothed grooves 5024 having a gear platform 5022 rotatably connected within it. Each set of toothed grooves 5024 also has an elastic element 5023 fixedly connected within it. The elastic element 5023 abuts against the gear platform 5022, and can push the gear platform 5022 to a perpendicular position with the rack base plate 5021. One side of the gear platform 5022 abuts against one side of the tooth groove 5024. When the rack base plate 5021 moves in a straight line, the gear platform 5022 cannot rotate because it is limited by one side of the tooth groove 5024. This allows the gear platform 5022 to drive the drive gear 503. When the rack base plate 5021 moves in the opposite direction, the gear platform 5022 rotates under the action of the drive gear 503 and compresses the elastic element 5023. This prevents the drive gear 503 from rotating. The elastic element 5023 can be a spring sheet.

[0062] Furthermore, a drying mechanism 300 is also provided at the bottom of the dispersing component, which is used to dry the dispersed lotus root starch.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] Please see Figure 3 , Figures 11-15 A high-efficiency drying device for lotus root starch production, this embodiment is based on embodiment 1, and further describes:

[0065] The drying mechanism 300 includes a slow feeding component 301, a drying bed component 302, and a drive tilting component 303. Specifically, the slow feeding component 301 is provided in the material guide chamber 102. The slow feeding component 301 is used to reduce the falling speed of the material. The slow feeding component 301 includes multiple sets of buffer plates, which are fixedly connected to the inside of the material guide chamber 102 in an inclined and staggered manner. In this way, the dispersed lotus root powder can enter the material guide chamber 102. The falling speed of the lotus root powder is reduced by the buffer plates, and the lotus root powder is further dispersed by collision. When there is heat in the material guide chamber 102, the lotus root powder can be pre-dried.

[0066] In this embodiment, the drying chamber 103 is equipped with a drying bed component 302 in conjunction with the slow feeding component 301. The drying bed component 302 is used to thoroughly dry the lotus root starch and provide heat to the feeding chamber 102. In this embodiment, the drying bed component 302 includes a drying bed 3021, a heating element 3022, a sealing component 304, and an opening and closing controller 305. That is, the drying bed 3021 is rotatably connected in the drying chamber 103. Specifically, a shaft platform 3023 is fixedly connected to the center position of the bottom of the drying bed 3021, and the shaft platform 3023 is rotatably connected in the drying chamber 103.

[0067] A heating element 3022 is fixedly connected inside the drying bed 3021. The heating element 3022 provides heat to the drying bed 3021. Here, the heating element 3022 can be any component that can provide heat. Furthermore, a discharge port 3024 is provided at one end of the drying bed 3021, and a sealing component 304 is provided on the drying bed 3021 corresponding to the discharge port 3024. An opening and closing controller 305 is provided on the drying chamber 103 in conjunction with the sealing component 304. The opening and closing controller 305 can control the sealing component 304 to close or open the discharge port 3024. A dry material outlet 1031 is provided at the bottom of the drying chamber 103 corresponding to the discharge port 3024.

[0068] Furthermore, a drive tilting component 303 is provided in the drying chamber 100 in conjunction with the drying bed component 302. The drive motor 400 is poweredly connected to the drive tilting component 303, so that the drive tilting component 303 can drive the drying bed component 302 to rotate reciprocally. In this way, when the lotus root powder falling in the feed box chamber 102 can enter the drying bed 3021, the lotus root powder is dried by the high temperature in the drying bed 3021. During the drying process, the rotating drying bed 3021 continuously tilts the lotus root powder, thereby ensuring that the lotus root powder is dried evenly and thoroughly.

[0069] Of course, please see Figure 1 In order to allow moisture to escape, a moisture outlet 1021 is also provided on the material guide box 102;

[0070] When it is necessary to discharge the dried lotus root powder, the drying bed 3021 can be tilted by driving the tilting component 303 so that the discharge port is at the lowest point. Then, the closing component 304 is controlled by the opening and closing controller 305 to open the discharge port 3024. In this way, the dried lotus root powder can enter the dry material outlet 1031 from the discharge port 3024 under the action of gravity, and the discharge is completed.

[0071] Please see Figure 13 , Figure 14 In this embodiment, the enclosure component 304 may adopt the following structure:

[0072] The sealing assembly 304 includes a sealing plate 3041, a first spring 3042, a guide frame 3043, and a guide post 3044. Specifically, a guide frame 3043 is fixedly connected to the drying bed 3021 corresponding to the discharge port 3024. A guide post 3044 is fixedly connected to the guide frame 3043. The sealing plate 3041 is slidably connected to the guide post 3044. The first spring 3042 is sleeved on the guide post 3044. One end of the first spring 3042 is fixedly connected to the guide frame 3043, and the other end is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 3041. A moving arm is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 3041. One end passes through the guide frame 3043 and is fixedly connected to the adsorption platform 3045. The opening and closing controller 305 uses an electromagnet. The electromagnet cooperates with the adsorption platform 3045. Using the elastic force of the first spring 3042, the closing plate 3041 can press down on the discharge port 3024. When discharge is required, the electromagnet adsorbs the adsorption platform 3045. At this time, the closing plate 3041 moves and compresses the first spring 3042, thereby opening the discharge port 3024. After the discharge is completed, the electromagnet is de-energized. Under the action of the first spring 3042, the closing plate 3041 closes the discharge port 3024 again.

[0073] Please see Figure 13 , Figure 15 In this embodiment, the drive flipping component 303 adopts the following structure:

[0074] The drive tilting component 303 includes a cam 3031, a telescopic spring cylinder 3032, and a wheel axle 3033. Specifically, a wheel axle 3033 is rotatably connected to one side of the shaft platform 3023 inside the drying chamber 103. A cam 3031 is fixedly connected to the wheel axle 3033. The cam 3031 abuts against the bottom surface of the drying bed 3021. A telescopic spring cylinder 3032 is rotatably connected to the other side of the shaft platform 3023 inside the drying chamber 103. The telescopic spring cylinder 3032 is also rotatably connected to the drying bed. The wheel axle 3033 is powered by the drive motor 400. The power transmission between the wheel axle 3033 and the drive motor 400 can be achieved through a combination of belts and pulleys.

[0075] When the drive motor 400 drives the wheel axle 3033 to rotate, the cam 3031 pushes one end of the drying bed 3021 upward. At this time, the other end of the drying bed 3021 descends, and the telescopic spring cylinder 3032 is compressed. Conversely, when the cam 3031 does not push the drying bed 3021, this end of the drying bed 3021 descends, and the other end of the drying bed 3021 rises under the action of the telescopic spring cylinder 3032. This cycle continues, so that the drying bed 3021 continuously produces the required rotation effect, thereby continuously turning the lotus root starch.

[0076] Furthermore, the aforementioned telescopic spring cylinder 3032 includes a second spring 3034, an outer cylinder 3035, and a telescopic rod 3036. The outer cylinder 3035 has a cylinder chamber inside, and the telescopic rod 3036 is slidably connected inside the cylinder chamber. The second spring 3034 is provided inside the cylinder chamber. One end of the second spring 3034 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 3036, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cylinder chamber. During installation, the top end of the telescopic rod 3036 is rotatably connected to the drying chamber 100, and the bottom end of the outer cylinder 3035 is rotatably connected to the drying chamber 103.
