Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine processing equipment, and in particular to a mechanism for drying and powdering traditional Chinese medicine and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] The Chinese medicine drying and powdering equipment is a device that converts raw materials or extracts of Chinese medicine into powder. It is mainly suitable for the rapid drying and powdering of materials such as Chinese medicinal extracts and pastes.

[0003] A spray drying device for traditional Chinese medicine processing disclosed in Chinese Invention Patent Application Publication No. CN117919735B, while ensuring full utilization of heat and doubling the drying efficiency of the liquid medicine, primarily aims to improve the drying efficiency of the powder and prevent powder sticking. However, it neglects the fact that before atomization, a human operator still needs to stand beside the liquid material processing machine to observe whether the temperature of the liquid material reaches the required level and manually open the gate to atomize the liquid material. This not only increases the factory's investment in manpower and capital but also increases the labor intensity of workers. Furthermore, the atomization drying process is continuous, only stopping when the powder reaches a certain quantity. During this continuous high-temperature atomization drying, the powder also remains at an extremely high temperature, which dilutes the medicinal properties of the powder. Therefore, this application provides a traditional Chinese medicine drying powdering mechanism and its usage method to meet this need. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Preferably, a circular spring is fixedly connected to one end of the second hollow straight rod, a circular base plate is fixedly connected to one end of the circular spring, and a connecting column is fixedly connected to one end of the circular base plate.

[0010] Preferably, a third connector is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the middle section rigid pipe, one end of the third connector is provided with a gas collecting pipe, the third connector is connected to the gas collecting pipe by a third connector bolt thread, one end of the gas collecting pipe is provided with a first connector, and the gas collecting pipe is connected to the first connector by a gas collecting pipe bolt thread.

[0011] Preferably, the powder cooling module includes a square frame, an inclined plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square frame, a hollow U-shaped frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the square frame, an air vent on the inner wall of the hollow U-shaped frame, a square track fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow U-shaped frame, and a sliding box on the surface of the square track.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the sliding box has a square groove, the front of the sliding box is fixedly connected to a front sealing plate, the front of the front sealing plate is fixedly connected to a handle, the bottom of the square groove is fixedly connected to an elliptical spring, the top of the elliptical spring is fixedly connected to a support plate, the support plate and the square groove are mutually compatible, and a long base plate is fixedly connected to one side of the hollow U-shaped frame.

[0013] Preferably, a small nitrogen generator is provided on the top of the elongated base plate. The small nitrogen generator is connected to the elongated base plate by nitrogen generator bolts. The front of the small nitrogen generator is provided with an outlet port. A nitrogen pipe is threadedly connected to the surface of the outlet port. An inlet port is provided at one end of the nitrogen pipe. A hollow U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to one end of the inlet port.

[0014] The method of using a traditional Chinese medicine drying and powdering device includes the following steps: Step 1: This device heats and extracts Chinese medicinal materials through a reaction vessel. The high temperature during extraction enters the automatic injection module through the reaction vessel. When enough high-temperature gas accumulates in the automatic injection module, the gas forces open the hollow circular door. The extracted liquid material in the reaction vessel enters the automatic injection module through the second connector and then flows into the centrifugal atomizer. The centrifugal atomizer is activated to convert the liquid material into a mist and spray it into the steel box. The heater is activated to increase the temperature inside the steel box, thereby drying the mist-like liquid material into powder. The powder falls into the powder cooling module to cool down and maintain its medicinal properties. Step Two: When the reactor extracts the Chinese medicinal materials by heating, the hot gas from the extraction process enters the gas collecting pipe through the first connector. This allows the high-temperature gas to accumulate in the middle rigid pipe. When enough gas has accumulated, the high-pressure gas rushes towards the first and second transport pipes, thus opening the hollow circular door. By adding water into the first hollow straight rod, water can enter the hollow circular door, thereby increasing or decreasing the weight of the hollow circular door. This, in turn, affects the time it takes for the hollow circular door to be opened by the gas and the reactor... The internal extraction is completed in the same time. When the hollow circular door is opened, it flips over, thereby realizing the rotation of the second hollow straight rod, which in turn causes the circular spring to deform. After the circular spring returns to its original state, the hollow circular door is also brought back to its original position. When the hollow circular door is opened, the liquid material in the reactor passes through the second connector and sequentially through the first docking device, the first hollow ring, the first transport pipe, the middle section hard pipe, the second transport pipe, the second hollow ring, and the second docking device into the centrifugal atomizer, where it is atomized by the centrifugal atomizer. Step 3: After the liquid material is dried into powder, the powder falls into the square frame of the powder cooling module. Some powder falls directly onto the receiving plate, while some falls onto the inclined plate. Eventually, due to the large angle of the inclined plate, some powder will also slide onto the receiving plate. As more and more powder accumulates on the receiving plate, the receiving plate will press down on the elliptical spring, allowing the powder at the top of the receiving plate to enter the hollow U-shaped frame. This activates the small nitrogen generator, which produces low-temperature nitrogen gas that enters the nitrogen pipe through the outlet port, then enters the hollow U-shaped frame through the inlet port, and finally sprays out from the outlet of the hollow U-shaped frame to cool the powder on the receiving plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: In the above scheme, by setting an automatic injection module, the device can automatically inject the liquid material into the processing chamber for drying and pulverization after the liquid material has been processed and matured. This process does not require manual observation or manual opening of the gate, which can reduce the factory's investment in manpower and capital to a certain extent, and also reduce the labor intensity of workers to a certain extent.

[0016] By setting up a powder cooling module, the atomized liquid material in the device dries into powder and slowly falls into the powder cooling module. At the same time, the powder is cooled in the powder cooling module, which prevents the continuous high temperature in the processing chamber from preventing the powder temperature from not being reduced, thus diluting the medicinal properties of the powder. This reduces the probability of the medicinal properties of the powder being diluted by continuous high temperature to a certain extent.

[0017] In summary, the present invention has the advantages of reducing the investment of factories in terms of manpower and capital, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and reducing the probability of powdered medicine being diluted. Attached Figure Description

It should also be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments; those skilled in the art can also use other alternative methods to implement some known technologies; and the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that the use of terms such as "an embodiment," "an embodiment," "an exemplary embodiment," and "some embodiments" in the specification indicates that the described embodiment may include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments (whether explicitly described or not) should be within the knowledge of those skilled in the art.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiments of the present invention provide a traditional Chinese medicine drying powdering mechanism and a method of use, including a reaction vessel 1, a first connector 2 on the top of the reaction vessel 1, a second connector 3 on the surface of the reaction vessel 1, an automatic injection module 4 at one end of the second connector 3, a centrifugal atomizer 5 at one end of the automatic injection module 4, a steel box 6 on one side of the centrifugal atomizer 5, a gas collecting hood 7 fixedly connected to the top of the steel box 6, a heater 8 on one side of the steel box 6, and a powder cooling module 9 at the bottom of the steel box 6.

[0024] The first connector 2, the second connector 3, and the reactor 1 are connected as a whole. The automatic injection module 4 is installed between the centrifugal atomizer 5 and the first connector 2 and the second connector 3. The centrifugal atomizer 5 is installed onto the steel box 6 with bolts. The gas collection hood 7 is welded to the top of the steel box 6. The powder cooling module 9 is welded to the bottom of the steel box 6. The heater 8 is installed onto the steel box 6 with bolts.

[0025] This device uses a reactor 1 to heat and extract Chinese medicinal materials. The high temperature during extraction enters the automatic injection module 4 through the reactor 1. When enough high-temperature gas accumulates in the automatic injection module 4, the gas forces open the hollow circular door 410. The extracted liquid material in the reactor 1 enters the automatic injection module 4 through the second connector 3 and then flows into the centrifugal atomizer 5. The centrifugal atomizer 5 is activated to convert the liquid material into a mist and spray it into the steel box 6. The heater 8 is activated to increase the temperature inside the steel box 6, thereby drying the mist-like liquid material into powder. The powder falls into the powder cooling module 9 to cool down and maintain its medicinal properties.

[0026] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic injection module 4 includes a first docking device 401. One end of the first docking device 401 is provided with a first hollow ring 402. One end of the first hollow ring 402 is provided with a first transport pipe 403. One end of the first transport pipe 403 is provided with a middle section rigid pipe 404. One end of the middle section rigid pipe 404 is provided with a second transport pipe 405. One end of the second transport pipe 405 is provided with a second hollow ring 406. One end of the second hollow ring 406 is fixedly connected to a second docking device 407.

[0027] The first connector 401 is threadedly connected to the second connector 3 via the first connector bolt. The second connector 407 is threadedly connected to the centrifugal atomizer 5 via the second connector bolt. The surfaces of the first hollow ring 402 and the second hollow ring 406 are sequentially provided with a first circular hole and a second circular hole from front to back. The first circular hole is provided with a first hollow straight rod 408 inside.

[0028] One end of the first hollow straight rod 408 is threadedly connected to a sealing cap 409, and the other end of the first hollow straight rod 408 is fixedly connected to a hollow circular door 410. A second hollow straight rod 411 is fixedly connected to the surface of the hollow circular door 410, and the second hollow straight rod 411 and the second circular hole are mutually compatible.

[0029] A circular spring 412 is fixedly connected to one end of the second hollow straight rod 411, a circular base plate 413 is fixedly connected to one end of the circular spring 412, and a connecting post 414 is fixedly connected to one end of the circular base plate 413.

[0030] A third connector 415 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the middle section rigid pipe 404. One end of the third connector 415 is provided with a gas collecting pipe 416. The third connector 415 is connected to the gas collecting pipe 416 by a third connector bolt thread. One end of the gas collecting pipe 416 is provided with a first connector 2. The gas collecting pipe 416 is connected to the first connector 2 by a gas collecting pipe bolt thread.

[0031] The first connector 401, the first hollow ring 402, the first transport pipe 403, the intermediate rigid pipe 404, the second transport pipe 405, the second hollow ring 406, the second connector 407, and the third connector 415 are welded together. The first connector 401 is installed onto the second connector 3 using the first connector bolts. The second connector 407 is installed onto the centrifugal atomizer 5 using the second connector bolts. The gas collecting pipe 416 is placed onto the third connector 415, and then the third connector 415... The third connector bolts fix the two together. The gas collecting pipe 416 is installed onto the first connector 2 via the gas collecting pipe bolts. The first hollow straight rod 408, the hollow circular door 410, and the second hollow straight rod 411 are welded together. The sealing cap 409 is screwed onto the first hollow straight rod 408. The circular spring 412 is welded between the second hollow straight rod 411 and the circular base plate 413. The connecting column 414 is welded between the circular base plate 413 and the first hollow ring 402 and the second hollow ring 406.

[0032] When the reactor 1 extracts the Chinese medicinal materials by heating, the hot gas from the extraction enters the gas collecting pipe 416 through the first connector 2, allowing the high-temperature gas to accumulate in the middle rigid pipe 404. When enough gas has accumulated, the high-pressure gas rushes towards the first transport pipe 403 and the second transport pipe 405, thereby opening the hollow circular door 410. By adding water into the first hollow straight rod 408, water can enter the hollow circular door 410, thus increasing or decreasing the weight of the hollow circular door 410. Consequently, the time it takes for the hollow circular door 410 to be opened by the gas is equal to the time it takes for the extraction to be completed in the reactor 1. Similarly, when the hollow circular door 410 is opened, it flips over, thereby realizing the rotation of the second hollow straight rod 411, which in turn causes the circular spring 412 to deform. After the circular spring 412 returns to its original state, the hollow circular door 410 is also brought back to its original position. When the hollow circular door 410 is opened, the liquid material in the reactor 1 passes through the second connector 3 and sequentially through the first docking device 401, the first hollow ring 402, the first transport pipe 403, the middle section hard pipe 404, the second transport pipe 405, the second hollow ring 406, and the second docking device 407 into the centrifugal atomizer 5, where it is atomized by the centrifugal atomizer 5.

[0033] By setting the automatic injection module 4, the device can automatically inject liquid materials into the processing chamber for drying and pulverization after the liquid materials have been processed and matured. This process does not require manual observation or manual opening of the gate, which can reduce the factory's investment in manpower and capital to a certain extent, and also reduce the labor intensity of workers to a certain extent.

[0034] like Figures 9 to 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the powder cooling module 9 includes a square frame 901, an inclined plate 902 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square frame 901, a hollow U-shaped frame 903 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the square frame 901, an air vent is opened on the inner wall of the hollow U-shaped frame 903, a square track 904 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow U-shaped frame 903, and a sliding box 905 is provided on the surface of the square track 904.

[0035] The top of the sliding box 905 has a square groove. A front sealing plate 906 is fixedly connected to the front of the sliding box 905. A handle 907 is fixedly connected to the front of the front sealing plate 906. An elliptical spring 908 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the square groove. A receiving plate 909 is fixedly connected to the top of the elliptical spring 908. The receiving plate 909 and the square groove are mutually compatible. A long base plate 910 is fixedly connected to one side of the hollow U-shaped frame 903.

[0036] A small nitrogen generator 911 is provided on the top of the long base plate 910. The small nitrogen generator 911 is connected to the long base plate 910 by nitrogen generator bolts. The front of the small nitrogen generator 911 is provided with an exhaust port 912. A nitrogen pipe 913 is threadedly connected to the surface of the exhaust port 912. One end of the nitrogen pipe 913 is provided with an inlet port 914. One end of the inlet port 914 is fixedly connected to a hollow U-shaped frame 903.

[0037] A square frame 901 is welded to the bottom of the steel box 6. An inclined plate 902 is welded to the inner wall of the square frame 901. A hollow U-shaped frame 903 is welded to the bottom of the square frame 901. The vent is integrally connected to the hollow U-shaped frame 903. A square track 904 is welded to the inner wall of the hollow U-shaped frame 903. A sliding box 905 is installed on the square track 904. A front sealing plate 906 is welded to the sliding box 905. A handle 907 is welded to the front sealing plate 906. The square groove and sliding box 905 are integrally formed. The elliptical spring 908 is welded between the receiving plate 909 and the square groove. The long base plate 910 is welded to the hollow U-shaped frame 903. The air inlet port 914 is integrally connected to the hollow U-shaped frame 903. The air outlet port 912 is integrally connected to the small nitrogen generator 911. The small nitrogen generator 911 is installed on the long base plate 910 by nitrogen generator bolts. The nitrogen pipe 913 is installed between the air outlet port 912 and the air inlet port 914.

[0038] After the liquid material is dried into powder, the powder falls into the square frame 901 of the powder cooling module 9. Some of the powder falls directly onto the receiving plate 909, and some falls onto the inclined plate 902. Eventually, due to the large angle of the inclined plate 902, some of the powder also slides onto the receiving plate 909. As more and more powder accumulates on the receiving plate 909, the receiving plate 909 will press down on the elliptical spring 908, so that the powder at the top of the receiving plate 909 can also enter the hollow U-shaped frame 903, activating the small nitrogen generator 911. This allows the small nitrogen generator 911 to produce low-temperature nitrogen gas, which enters the nitrogen pipe 913 through the outlet port 912, and then enters the hollow U-shaped frame 903 through the inlet port 914. Finally, the nitrogen gas is sprayed out from the outlet of the hollow U-shaped frame 903 to cool the powder on the receiving plate 909.

[0039] By setting up the powder cooling module 9, the atomized liquid material in the device dries into powder and slowly falls into the powder cooling module 9. At the same time, the powder is cooled in the powder cooling module 9 to prevent the continuous high temperature in the processing chamber from preventing the powder temperature from not being reduced, which would cause the powder's medicinal properties to be diluted by the high temperature. This reduces the probability of the powder's medicinal properties being diluted by the continuous high temperature to a certain extent.

[0040] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.

[0041] The method of using the herbal drying and powdering device includes the following steps: Step 1: This device heats and extracts Chinese medicinal materials through a reactor 1. The high temperature during extraction enters the automatic injection module 4 through the reactor 1. When enough high-temperature gas accumulates in the automatic injection module 4, the gas forces open the hollow circular door 410. The extracted liquid material in the reactor 1 enters the automatic injection module 4 through the second connector 3 and then enters the centrifugal atomizer 5. The centrifugal atomizer 5 is activated to convert the liquid material into a mist and spray it into the steel box 6. The heater 8 is activated to increase the temperature inside the steel box 6, thereby drying the mist-like liquid material into powder. The powder falls into the powder cooling module 9 to cool down and maintain its medicinal properties. Step 2: When the reactor 1 heats and extracts the Chinese medicinal materials, the hot gas from the extraction enters the gas collecting pipe 416 through the first connector 2, allowing the high-temperature gas to accumulate in the middle rigid pipe 404. When enough gas has accumulated, the high-pressure gas rushes towards the first transport pipe 403 and the second transport pipe 405, thereby opening the hollow circular door 410. By adding water into the first hollow straight rod 408, water can enter the hollow circular door 410, thus increasing or decreasing the weight of the hollow circular door 410. This, in turn, affects the time it takes for the hollow circular door 410 to be opened by the gas and the time when the extraction in the reactor 1 is completed. The same applies when the hollow circular door 410 is opened and flipped, thereby realizing the rotation of the second hollow straight rod 411, which in turn causes the circular spring 412 to deform. After the circular spring 412 returns to its original state, the hollow circular door 410 is also brought back to its original position. When the hollow circular door 410 is opened, the liquid material in the reactor 1 passes through the second connector 3 and sequentially through the first docking device 401, the first hollow ring 402, the first transport pipe 403, the middle section hard pipe 404, the second transport pipe 405, the second hollow ring 406, and the second docking device 407 into the centrifugal atomizer 5, where it is atomized by the centrifugal atomizer 5. Step 3: After the liquid material is dried into powder, the powder falls into the square frame 901 of the powder cooling module 9. Some of the powder falls directly onto the receiving plate 909, and some falls onto the inclined plate 902. Eventually, due to the large angle of the inclined plate 902, some of the powder will also slide onto the receiving plate 909. As more and more powder accumulates on the receiving plate 909, the receiving plate 909 will press down on the elliptical spring 908, so that the powder at the top of the receiving plate 909 can also enter the hollow U-shaped frame 903, activating the small nitrogen generator 911. This allows the small nitrogen generator 911 to produce low-temperature nitrogen gas, which enters the nitrogen pipe 913 through the outlet port 912, and then enters the hollow U-shaped frame 903 through the inlet port 914. Finally, the nitrogen gas is sprayed out from the outlet of the hollow U-shaped frame 903 to cool the powder on the receiving plate 909.

[0042] The technical solution provided by this invention: This device heats and extracts Chinese medicinal materials through a reaction vessel 1. The high temperature during extraction enters the automatic injection module 4 through the reaction vessel 1. When enough high-temperature gas accumulates in the automatic injection module 4, the gas forces open the hollow circular door 410. The extracted liquid material in the reaction vessel 1 enters the automatic injection module 4 through the second connector 3 and then flows into the centrifugal atomizer 5. The centrifugal atomizer 5 is activated, converting the liquid material into a mist that is sprayed into the steel box 6. The heater 8 is activated, increasing the temperature inside the steel box 6, thereby drying the mist-like liquid material into powder. The powder falls into the powder cooling module 9 for further cooling. To maintain its medicinal properties, when the reactor 1 heats and extracts the Chinese medicinal materials, the hot gas from the extraction enters the gas collecting pipe 416 through the first connector 2, allowing the high-temperature gas to accumulate in the middle rigid pipe 404. When enough gas has accumulated, the high-pressure gas rushes towards the first transport pipe 403 and the second transport pipe 405, thereby opening the hollow circular door 410. By adding water into the first hollow straight rod 408, water can enter the hollow circular door 410, thus increasing or decreasing the weight of the hollow circular door 410. Consequently, the time it takes for the hollow circular door 410 to be opened by the gas is the same as the extraction time in reactor 1. The hollow circular door 410 flips when it is opened, thus... The rotation of the second hollow rod 411 causes the circular spring 412 to deform. After the circular spring 412 returns to its original state, the hollow circular door 410 is also brought back to its original position. When the hollow circular door 410 opens, the liquid material in the reactor 1 passes through the second connector 3 and sequentially through the first docking device 401, the first hollow ring 402, the first transport pipe 403, the middle section rigid pipe 404, the second transport pipe 405, the second hollow ring 406, and the second docking device 407 into the centrifugal atomizer 5, where it is atomized. After the liquid material is dried into powder, the powder falls into the square frame 901 of the powder cooling module 9, and some of the powder falls directly into the receiving container. Some of the powder falls onto the inclined plate 902, and eventually, due to the large angle of the inclined plate 902, it also slides onto the receiving plate 909. As more and more powder accumulates on the receiving plate 909, the receiving plate 909 will press down on the elliptical spring 908, so that the powder at the top of the receiving plate 909 can also enter the hollow U-shaped frame 903, activating the small nitrogen generator 911. This allows the small nitrogen generator 911 to produce low-temperature nitrogen gas, which enters the nitrogen pipe 913 through the outlet port 912, and then enters the hollow U-shaped frame 903 through the inlet port 914, and finally sprays out from the outlet of the hollow U-shaped frame 903 to cool the powder on the receiving plate 909.

[0043] This section explains how the automatic injection module automatically controls the injection of liquid materials based on the temperature or pressure inside the reactor, and ensures that the opening time of the hollow circular door is synchronized with the extraction completion time inside the reactor. 1. Temperature or pressure sensing: Temperature sensing: The automatic injection module can monitor the temperature changes inside the reactor in real time through a temperature sensor. When the temperature reaches the set value (e.g., extraction temperature), the sensor sends a signal to the control system, which then triggers the automatic injection program.

[0044] Pressure sensing: Another method is to monitor pressure changes inside the reactor. When the pressure reaches the set value, the extraction process can be considered complete, at which point the control system will trigger the automatic injection program.

[0045] 2. Automatic injection program: Control valves: The automatic injection program controls the valves connecting the reactor and the automatic injection module to open them, allowing liquid materials to flow into the automatic injection module.

[0046] Adjusting the water volume inside the first hollow rod: To control the opening time of the hollow circular door, it needs to be adjusted according to the extraction completion time in the reactor. This can be achieved by adding an appropriate amount of water into the first hollow rod.

[0047] 3. The working principle of a hollow circular door: Weight Adjustment: The weight of the hollow circular door affects how easily it is opened by high-temperature gas. By adding water into the first hollow straight rod, the weight of the hollow circular door can be changed, thereby adjusting its opening time.

[0048] Flipping Mechanism: When enough hot gas accumulates, it will force open the hollow circular door. At this point, the hollow circular door will flip, causing the second hollow rod to rotate and deforming the circular spring.

[0049] Spring reset: When the circular spring returns to its original state, it will drive the hollow circular door back to its initial position, thereby closing the valve and stopping the injection of liquid materials.

[0050] 4. Synchronization mechanism: Time setting: By setting appropriate temperature or pressure thresholds and adjusting the amount of water in the first hollow rod, the opening time of the hollow circular door can be synchronized with the extraction completion time in the reactor.

[0051] Feedback control: The feedback control system can monitor the temperature or pressure changes inside the reactor in real time and adjust the water volume in the first hollow rod according to the actual situation to ensure that the opening time of the hollow circular door is always synchronized with the extraction completion time inside the reactor.

[0052] Summarize: Through the above mechanism, the automatic injection module can automatically control the injection of liquid materials and ensure that the opening time of the hollow circular door is synchronized with the extraction completion time inside the reactor. This not only improves production efficiency but also reduces manual intervention and lowers production costs.

[0053] The function of the powder cooling module is to cool the dried powder to maintain its medicinal properties and facilitate subsequent processing. 1. Powder collection: Collection by the receiving plate: After the powder dries, it falls into the square frame of the powder cooling module. Some powder will fall directly onto the receiving plate, while some powder will fall onto the inclined plate and eventually slide onto the receiving plate.

[0054] Sliding box adjustment: As powder accumulates on the receiving plate, the elliptical spring is compressed, causing the receiving plate to descend, ensuring that the receiving plate is always in a lower position to collect more powder.

[0055] 2. Nitrogen cooling: Small nitrogen generator: The powder cooling module is equipped with a small nitrogen generator, which can produce nitrogen gas at a lower temperature.

[0056] Nitrogen delivery: Nitrogen enters the nitrogen pipe through the outlet port, and then enters the hollow U-shaped frame through the inlet port.

[0057] Nitrogen injection: Nitrogen gas is injected from the vent holes of the hollow U-shaped frame and acts directly on the powder on the receiving plate to cool it down.

[0058] 3. Temperature and flow control: Temperature control: The temperature of nitrogen can be controlled by adjusting the operating parameters of the small nitrogen generator, such as adjusting the flow rate or temperature of the cooling water.

[0059] Flow control: The flow rate of nitrogen can be controlled by adjusting the valve on the nitrogen pipe to ensure uniform cooling of the powder.

[0060] 4. Uniform cooling of powder: Hollow U-shaped frame: The hollow U-shaped frame design allows nitrogen to be evenly distributed on the receiving plate, thereby ensuring uniform cooling of the powder.

[0061] Inclined plate: The inclined plate can prevent powder from accumulating in corners, promote powder flow, and allow it to fully contact nitrogen gas, thereby improving cooling efficiency.

[0062] Summarize: The powder cooling module achieves uniform cooling of powder by collecting powder, supplying nitrogen, controlling temperature and flow rate, and through a well-designed structure. This effectively prevents the loss of powder properties and facilitates subsequent processing.

The following are some possible safety protection measures and reliability testing methods: 1. Safety protection measures: Over-temperature protection: Temperature sensors: Temperature sensors are installed in key parts such as the reaction vessel, steel casing, and heater to monitor temperature changes in real time.

[0065] Power failure protection: When the temperature reaches a dangerous level, the power failure protection device will automatically cut off the power supply to prevent equipment damage or fire.

[0066] Pressure protection: Pressure sensors: Pressure sensors are installed in key parts such as the reactor and automatic injection module to monitor pressure changes in real time.

[0067] Safety valve: When the pressure exceeds the set value, the safety valve will automatically open to release the excessive pressure and prevent equipment damage or explosion.

[0068] Pressure relief device: Install pressure relief devices in key parts such as the reactor and automatic injection module to release pressure periodically and prevent pressure accumulation.

[0069] Electrical safety: Residual current device (RCD): Install an RCD to prevent electric leakage accidents.

[0070] Grounding protection: Ensure that the equipment is properly grounded to prevent static electricity buildup or electric shock accidents.
