Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of granule preparation technology, specifically to a type of Artemisia argyi granules, preparation equipment, and method. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of Artemisia argyi granule preparation, in order to improve the formability, stability and functionality of the granules, the process of compounding Artemisia argyi with attapulgite clay is often adopted. The ring die granulator has become the mainstream core equipment of this process due to its advantages such as high forming efficiency and good granule strength. First, the Artemisia argyi raw material is sorted to remove impurities. Then, it is washed and dried to obtain material with suitable moisture content. After being crushed to a suitable particle size, it can be conditioned to improve plasticity as needed. Then, the material is evenly fed into the ring die granulator by the feeder. Under the squeezing action of the ring die and the pressure roller, it is forced into the die hole to form strip-shaped granules. Then, it is cut into the preset length by the cutter. Finally, the granules are cooled and screened to remove unqualified products and then packaged to obtain the finished Artemisia argyi granules.

[0003] However, in actual use, we found that when using a ring die granulator to produce Artemisia argyi granules, due to the strong water absorption, swelling, and surface adhesion of attapulgite clay, if the mixing is insufficient or the ambient humidity is high, the clay in some areas will quickly absorb water and form agglomerates, which will then wrap the insufficiently wetted Artemisia argyi powder and produce lumps. These lumps are difficult to be uniformly compressed after entering the ring die granulator, resulting in inconsistent particle density and even clogging of the die holes, affecting the continuity of production and the yield. Therefore, we propose an Artemisia argyi granule preparation equipment and method. Summary of the Invention

[0020] A method for preparing Artemisia argyi granules, characterized in that it includes:

[0021] S1: Mix the mugwort powder and attapulgite clay mixture evenly and pour it into the feed frame;

[0022] S2: Rotate the lifting handle to drive the receiving block to rise and fall through the screw and receiving plate, thereby adjusting the distance between the crushing plate and the crushing cylinder;

[0023] S3: Start the power system to drive the ring die granulation system.

[0024] S4: Start the drive motor to drive the rectangular block to rotate the receiving block, which in turn drives the crushing plate to rotate;

[0025] S5: Start the feeding motor, and the mixture of Artemisia powder and attapulgite clay is evenly conveyed from the bottom of the feeding frame to the closed cover through the spiral blades and falls onto the top of the crushing plate;

[0026] S6: The extrusion plate slides back and forth inside the extrusion tube, and the hot airflow generated in the ring die granulation system is extracted through the exhaust pipe and guided to the nozzle through the exhaust pipe to be sprayed evenly, so as to achieve the drying pretreatment of the material in the closed hood.

[0027] S7: The mixture of Artemisia powder and attapulgite clay continues to move to the receiving system after passing through the crushing plate and crushing hood. The crushing plate and crushing hood effectively break up the agglomeration of the mixture to ensure that the material is evenly dispersed.

[0028] S8: The mixture enters the ring die granulation system, where it is squeezed and formed into strip-shaped particles through the die holes. As the ring die rotates, the particles are moved to the cutter and cut into short particles between 1mm and 5cm, thus completing the processing.

[0029] This invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. The equipment uses a conical crushing plate and a crushing hood with protrusions to shear and crush lumps of the mixture of Artemisia argyi powder and attapulgite clay through the relative motion of the two. The interlocking structure of the groove and the protrusion can enhance the shearing force and ensure that the lumps are fully crushed. More importantly, the crushing components can flexibly adjust the crushing gap according to the hardness and size of the lumps, which is suitable for lumps in different states. This avoids incomplete crushing due to excessive gap, which would affect the subsequent granulation effect, and also prevents over-crushing due to excessive gap, which would increase energy consumption and material loss.

[0031] 2. The sealing component precisely restricts the material flow direction through structures such as guide pipes and connecting pipes, driving the material to enter the receiving system only through the gap between the crushing plate and the crushing hood. This effectively avoids material spillage and waste, improves feeding stability, provides a uniform and qualified raw material base for subsequent granulation processes, and ensures the consistency of particle size in granulated products.

[0032] 3. The equipment innovatively utilizes a preheating component to extract the hot airflow generated by the ring die granulation system and transport it above the crushing plate, realizing the recycling of waste heat from granulation. This eliminates the need for additional heating devices, significantly reducing overall energy consumption and aligning with green production principles. During material transport, the hot airflow preheats and dries the mixture of Artemisia argyi powder and attapulgite clay, effectively removing excess moisture and preventing problems such as increased clumping and difficulty in granulation caused by damp materials. It also improves material flowability, further optimizing crushing and subsequent granulation effects. Furthermore, multiple nozzles are arranged in an equidistant ring array, ensuring uniform coverage of the crushing area with hot airflow, resulting in consistent heating of the material and preventing localized overheating that could lead to the loss of effective components in the Artemisia argyi powder. This balances material drying efficiency with product quality, enhancing the stability and reliability of the preparation process.

[0033] 4. The crushing plate, crushing hood, and receiving system are precisely aligned to ensure a smooth material transmission path, reduce the risk of material stagnation and blockage, and improve the stability of equipment operation. The crushing components achieve stable rotation of the crushing plate through the coordinated operation of the drive motor and the lifting structure, and can also achieve synchronous lifting of the crushing plate through synchronous gears, synchronous belts, and other structures, accurately adjusting the crushing gap. The operation is convenient and the adjustment accuracy is high, adapting to different production conditions. At the same time, the feeding component and the exhaust component achieve power linkage through transmission gears and transmission belts, eliminating the need for an additional power source, simplifying the equipment structure, and reducing the equipment manufacturing cost and operation and maintenance difficulty.

[0034] 5. The enclosed hood, guide tube and other structures form a relatively closed working environment, reducing dust diffusion, improving the production working environment and protecting the health of operators; the modular design of each component also facilitates subsequent inspection and maintenance, further improving production efficiency and providing reliable equipment support for the large-scale preparation of Artemisia argyi granules.

[0047] 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.

[0048] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-11 The present invention provides a technical solution: a kind of mugwort granules, which are composed of mugwort powder: 65% and attapulgite clay: 35% by mass ratio.

[0049] A device for preparing Artemisia argyi granules includes a power system 1, a material receiving system 2, a ring die granulation system 3, and a support frame 4, and also includes:

[0050] The crushing plate 5 is positioned above the ring die granulation system 3 and is located on the same axis as the receiving system 2. The crushing plate 5 is conical in shape and has multiple grooves 6 on its outer side.

[0051] The crushing hood 7 is located above the crushing plate 5 and is on the same axis as the crushing plate 5 and the receiving system 2. It is used in conjunction with the crushing plate 5. The inner wall of the crushing hood 7 is inclined. The distance between its top and the crushing plate 5 is greater than the distance between its top and the bottom of the crushing plate 5. The inner wall of the crushing hood 7 is provided with protrusions 8 that cooperate with multiple grooves 6.

[0052] The closure 9 is located on the outside of the crushing plate 5 and is used to guide and restrict the flow direction of the mixture of Artemisia powder and attapulgite clay, driving the mixture through the gap between the crushing plate 5 and the crushing cover 7 into the lower receiving system 2.

[0053] The crushing component 10 is disposed above the crushing plate 5 and is used to drive the crushing plate 5 to rotate. It also uses the relative movement between the crushing plate 5 and the crushing cover 7 to shear and crush the lumps generated by the mixture of Artemisia argyi powder and attapulgite clay. The crushing component 10 adjusts the gap between the crushing plate 5 and the crushing cover 7 according to the hardness and size of the lumps.

[0054] The preheating component 11 is located above the support frame 4. It is used to transport the mixture of artemisia powder and attapulgite clay while simultaneously drawing the hot airflow generated by the ring die granulation system 3 and conveying it above the crushing plate 5.

[0055] The sealing component 9 includes a connecting pipe 91 located at the top of the receiving system 2, a crushing hood 7 located at the bottom of the connecting pipe 91, a guide pipe 92 located at the top of the crushing hood 7, the guide pipe 92 being inverted conical in shape, and a sealing hood 93 located at the top of the guide pipe 92. Because the guide pipe 92 is inverted conical in shape, it will naturally gather and guide the falling material to the crushing hood 7 until it enters the connecting pipe 91. After passing through the connecting pipe 91, the material will directly enter the receiving system 2 and then directly enter the ring die granulation system 3 for ring die granulation, achieving efficient and continuous production. The sealing hood 93 located at the top of the crushing hood 7 can effectively prevent dust from overflowing during the crushing process, ensuring a clean working environment and reducing material loss. Its function is that the sealing hood 93 and the guide pipe 92 work together to form a closed flow channel, which not only effectively controls the material flow direction and avoids blockage and leakage, but also achieves airflow buffering through structural design, reducing dust rising.

[0056] The crushing assembly 10 includes a drive component 12 disposed above the enclosure 93, which generates the power required for the crushing plate 5 to rotate. A lifting component 13 is disposed above the enclosure 93, which adjusts the distance between the crushing plate 5 and the crushing enclosure 7.

[0057] The driving component 12 includes a motor frame 121 mounted on top of the enclosed cover 93, a drive motor 122 housed within the motor frame 121, a drive shaft 123 at the output end of the drive motor 122, and a rectangular block 124 at the bottom end of the drive shaft 123. A drive rod 125 is rotatably and slidably mounted at the axis of the enclosed cover 93, with its bottom end positioned at the top of the crushing plate 5. A receiving block 126 is mounted at the top of the drive rod 125, and a rectangular groove 127 is formed within the receiving block 126. The rectangular groove 127 engages with the rectangular block 124. When the drive motor 122 starts, it drives the drive shaft 123 at its output end to rotate, causing the rectangular block 124 at the bottom end of the drive shaft 123 to rotate as well. When the rectangular block 124 rotates, it slides within the rectangular groove 127, and due to its shape, the rotation of the rectangular block 124 is transmitted through the rectangular groove 127. The groove 127 drives the receiving block 126 to rotate together. When the receiving block 126 rotates, the drive rod 125 located at the bottom of the receiving block 126 will rotate along with it, thereby driving the crushing plate 5 at the bottom of the drive rod 125 to rotate and idle. After the material falls into the top of the crushing plate 5, the rotating crushing plate 5 will grind and crush the mixture agglomerates through the groove 6 on its surface and the protrusion 8 on the inner wall of the crushing cover 7, so as to disperse them. The crushed material is thrown to the outside of the crushing plate 5 under the action of centrifugal force and slides down the inner wall of the crushing cover 7 into the connecting pipe 91 below. Its function is to accelerate the directional flow of the crushed material agglomerates through the synergistic effect of centrifugal force and gravity, avoid the material from accumulating at the edge of the crushing plate 5, and ensure that the crushed mixture enters the connecting pipe 91 evenly and continuously. At the same time, the drive motor 122 drives the crushing plate 5 to rotate, so as to achieve continuous and efficient crushing of the mixture agglomerates.

[0058] The lifting component 13 includes a bearing 131 disposed on the outside of the receiving block 126. Three receiving plates 132 are disposed on the outer ring of the bearing 131. Three lifting brackets 133 are disposed at the top of the enclosed cover 93. A screw 134 is rotatably disposed within each of the three lifting brackets 133. The bottom ends of the three screws 134 are rotatably disposed at the top of the enclosed cover 93. Each of the three receiving plates 132 is threadedly connected to its corresponding screw 134. A synchronous gear 135 is disposed at the bottom of each of the three screws 134. A synchronous belt 136 is disposed on the outside of each of the three synchronous gears 135. The device has multiple synchronous tooth grooves 137, each of which engages with three synchronous gears 135. One of the three screws 134 has a lifting handle 138 at its top. First, the drive motor 122 is turned off. Then, by rotating the lifting handle 138, the screw 134 at its bottom is driven to rotate. When the screw 134 rotates, it drives the synchronous gear 135 on its outer side to rotate as well. The synchronous gear 135 then drives the synchronous belt 136 to rotate through the multiple synchronous tooth grooves 137. The rotation of the synchronous belt 136 will... The three synchronous gears 135 rotate simultaneously, thereby achieving synchronous rotation of the three screws 134. When the three screws 134 rotate synchronously, the receiving plates 132, which are threadedly connected to the three screws 134, will slowly rise. The rise of the receiving plates 132 will drive the bearings 131 to move upward, thereby driving the receiving blocks 126 set in the inner ring of the bearings 131 to rise accordingly. This, in turn, will drive the drive rod 125 at the bottom of the receiving block 126 to move upward. During the upward movement of the drive rod 125, it will drive the crushing plate 5 at its bottom to rise synchronously, thereby shortening the... The spacing between the crushing plate 5 and the crushing hood 7 enhances the squeezing and grinding effect, preventing agglomerates from escaping further crushing. When the receiving block 126 moves upward, it slides on the outside of the rectangular block 124 through the rectangular groove 127, ensuring smooth movement without deviation. Once the spacing between the crushing plate 5 and the crushing hood 7 is adjusted, the drive motor 122 can be restarted for continued use, allowing production to resume. The entire adjustment process is quick and precise, and maintenance can be completed without disassembling the equipment, greatly saving downtime and ensuring production continuity.

[0059] The preheating component 11 includes a feeding component 14 disposed above the support frame 4. The feeding component 14 is used to transport the mixture of Artemisia argyi powder and attapulgite clay, driving the mixture into the guide pipe 92 above the crushing plate 5. A ventilation component 15 is disposed on one side of the support frame 4, which is connected to the ring die granulation system 3, and is used to extract the hot airflow generated during its operation and transport the hot airflow into the enclosed cover 93.

[0060] The feeding component 14 includes a first bracket 141 disposed at the top of the support frame 4. A feeding motor 142 is disposed at the top of the first bracket 141. A feeding rod 143 is disposed at the output end of the feeding motor 142. A spiral blade 144 is disposed on the outer side of the feeding rod 143. A second bracket 145 is disposed at the top of the support frame 4. A feeding cylinder 146 is disposed at the top of the second bracket 145. The feeding rod 143 is rotatably disposed inside the feeding cylinder 146, and the spiral blade 144 is located inside the feeding cylinder 146. The other end of the feeding cylinder 146 is disposed inside and communicates with the closed cover 93. A feed frame 147 is disposed at the top of the feeding cylinder 146, and the feed frame 147 communicates with the feeding cylinder 146 and is located at the spiral blade. At the end of feed motor 144 near feed motor 142, the tamarisk powder and attapulgite clay are mixed in proportion and stirred evenly before being poured into feed frame 147. The material enters feed cylinder 146 under gravity. At the same time, feed motor 142 is started, which drives feed rod 143 at its output end to rotate. This, in turn, drives spiral blades 144 located on the outside of feed rod 143 to rotate inside feed cylinder 146. The rotation of spiral blades 144 transports the material along feed cylinder 146 to the end of feed cylinder 146 away from feed frame 147, thus entering the closed cover 93 and falling onto the top of crushing plate 5. Its function is to achieve continuous and stable conveying of the mixed material, ensuring the continuity and uniformity of crushing operation.

[0061] The exhaust component 15 includes a first transmission gear 151 disposed on the outside of the feeding rod 143, a transmission shaft 152 rotatably disposed on the top of the support frame 4, a second transmission gear 153 disposed on the outside of the transmission shaft 152, a transmission belt 154 disposed on the outside of the first transmission gear 151 and the second transmission gear 153, and a plurality of transmission tooth grooves 155 are provided on the transmission belt 154, and the plurality of transmission tooth grooves 155 are used in conjunction with the first transmission gear 151 and the second transmission gear 153.

An extrusion tube 158 is provided above the support frame 4 at the location of the reciprocating shaft 157 away from the axis of the disk 156. An extrusion plate 159 is slidably mounted inside the extrusion tube 158. An extrusion rod 1510 is provided on the side of the extrusion plate 159 near the reciprocating shaft 157, and the extrusion rod 1510 is slidably mounted at the end of the extrusion tube 158 near the reciprocating shaft 157. A reciprocating plate 1511 is provided at the end of the extrusion rod 1510 near the reciprocating shaft 157. A reciprocating groove 1512 is formed in the reciprocating plate 1511. The reciprocating shaft 157 is slidably and rotatably mounted in the reciprocating groove 1512. A suction tube is provided at the end of the extrusion tube 158 away from the disk 156. The exhaust duct 1513 has one end connected to the ring die granulation system 3. An exhaust check valve 1514 is installed at one end of the extrusion pipe 158 near the exhaust duct 1513, with the opening of the check valve 1514 facing the end of the extrusion pipe 158 away from the exhaust duct 1513. An exhaust pipe 1515 is installed at one end of the extrusion pipe 158 near the enclosure 93. A through pipe 1516 is installed outside the enclosure 93, with the other end of the exhaust pipe 1515 inside and connected to the through pipe 1516. Multiple nozzles 1517 are arranged in an equidistant ring array outside the enclosure 93, and all nozzles 1517 are connected to the through pipe 1516. The exhaust pipe 1515 is located near... A one-way exhaust valve 1518 is provided at one end of the extrusion tube 158, with its opening facing the closed cover 93. When the feeding motor 142 drives the feeding rod 143 to rotate, the first transmission gear 151 on the outside of the feeding rod 143 will drive the transmission belt 154 on its outside to move together through multiple transmission tooth grooves 155. The transmission belt 154 will drive the second transmission gear 153 to rotate synchronously through multiple transmission tooth grooves 155. When the second transmission gear 153 rotates, the transmission shaft 152 located at its axis will rotate together, driving the disc 156 at the other end of the transmission shaft 152 to rotate. When the disc 156 rotates, the reciprocating shaft 157 located on one side of the disc 156 will follow the disc 156 to perform eccentric motion around the transmission shaft 152. This drives the reciprocating shaft 157 to slide and rotate within the reciprocating groove 1512. The reciprocating motion of the reciprocating shaft 157 drives the reciprocating plate 1511 to move. Under the action of the extrusion rod 1510, the reciprocating plate 1511 can only move back and forth in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the extrusion rod 1510 to push the extrusion plate 159 in the extrusion tube 158 to move, causing the extrusion plate 159 to slide back and forth within the extrusion tube 158. When the extrusion plate 159 moves toward the reciprocating shaft 157, the exhaust check valve 1514 opens and the exhaust check valve 1518 closes. The extrusion tube 158 draws air from the exhaust pipe 1513 through the exhaust check valve 1514, so that the hot air generated during the operation of the ring die granulation system 3 is drawn into the extrusion tube 158. It should be noted that...The ring die granulation system 3 is in a preheated state before the feeding motor 142 starts. During its operation, it generates a large amount of hot air, which is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon here. When hot air is drawn into the extrusion tube 158, as the extrusion plate 159 moves in the reverse direction, the exhaust check valve 1514 closes and the exhaust check valve 1518 opens. The compressed hot air in the extrusion tube 158 is then discharged into the exhaust pipe 1515 through the exhaust check valve 1518, and then enters the through pipe 1516 through the exhaust pipe 1515. After entering the through pipe 1516, the hot air is further compressed due to the extrusion process. The continuous reciprocating motion of plate 159 causes hot air to be ejected through multiple nozzles 1517, ensuring even distribution of hot air around the crushing plate 5. This preheats and softens agglomerated materials, improving crushing efficiency and preventing wet material adhesion. Its function is to effectively reduce crushing resistance by preheating and softening agglomerated materials, while preventing wet material from adhering to the surface of the crushing plate 5 during crushing, reducing the risk of equipment blockage and improving continuous operation capability. The recycling of hot air not only improves energy utilization efficiency but also reduces the energy consumption of external heating devices, conforming to the design concept of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0063] When using this product, if the staff needs to granulate the mugwort powder and attapulgite clay, they first mix the mugwort powder and attapulgite clay in a certain proportion and stir them evenly before pouring them into the feed frame 147. The material enters the feeding cylinder 146 under gravity. Simultaneously, the feeding motor 142 is started, which drives the feeding rod 143 at its output end to rotate. This, in turn, drives the spiral blades 144 located outside the feeding rod 143 to rotate within the feeding cylinder 146. The rotation of the spiral blades 144 conveys the material along the feeding cylinder 146 to the end of the feeding cylinder 146 away from the feed frame 147, thus entering the enclosed hood 93 and falling onto the top of the crushing plate 5. At the same time as starting the feeding motor 142, the drive motor 122 is also started. When the drive motor 122 starts, it drives the drive shaft 123 at its output end... The rectangular block 124 located at the bottom of the drive shaft 123 rotates together with the rectangular block 124. When the rectangular block 124 rotates, it slides in the rectangular groove 127. Due to its shape characteristics, the rotation of the rectangular block 124 will drive the receiving block 126 to rotate together through the rectangular groove 127. When the receiving block 126 rotates, the drive rod 125 located at the bottom of the receiving block 126 will rotate along with it, thereby driving the crushing plate 5 at the bottom of the drive rod 125 to rotate and idle. After the material falls into the top of the crushing plate 5, the rotating crushing plate 5 will grind and crush the agglomerated mixture through the groove 6 on its surface and the protrusion 8 on the inner wall of the crushing cover 7, so as to disperse it. The crushed material is thrown to the outside of the crushing plate 5 under the action of centrifugal force and slides down the inner wall of the crushing cover 7 into the connecting pipe 91 below.

[0064] When the feeding motor 142 drives the feeding rod 143 to rotate, the first transmission gear 151 on the outer side of the feeding rod 143 drives the transmission belt 154 on its outer side to move together through multiple transmission tooth grooves 155. The transmission belt 154 then drives the second transmission gear 153 to rotate synchronously through multiple transmission tooth grooves 155. When the second transmission gear 153 rotates, the transmission shaft 152 located at its axis will rotate together, driving the disc 156 at the other end of the transmission shaft 152 to rotate. When the disc 156 rotates, the reciprocating shaft 157 located on one side of the disc 156 will follow the disc 156 and perform eccentric motion around the transmission shaft 152. This drives the reciprocating shaft 157 to slide and rotate within the reciprocating groove 1512. The reciprocating motion of the reciprocating shaft 157 drives the reciprocating plate 1511 to move. Under the action of the extrusion rod 1510, the reciprocating plate 1511 can only move back and forth in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the extrusion rod 1510 to push the extrusion plate 159 in the extrusion tube 158 to move, causing the extrusion plate 159 to slide back and forth within the extrusion tube 158. When the extrusion plate 159 moves toward the reciprocating shaft 157, the exhaust check valve 1514 opens and the exhaust check valve 1518 closes. The extrusion tube 158 draws air from the exhaust pipe 1513 through the exhaust check valve 1514, making... During the operation of the ring die granulation system 3, the hot air generated is drawn into the extrusion tube 158. It should be noted that the ring die granulation system 3 is already in a preheated state before the feeding motor 142 starts, and it generates a large amount of hot air during operation. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon here. After the hot air is drawn into the extrusion tube 158, as the extrusion plate 159 moves in the reverse direction, the exhaust check valve 1514 closes and the exhaust check valve 1518 opens. The compressed hot air in the extrusion tube 158 is then discharged into the exhaust pipe 1515 through the exhaust check valve 1518, and then enters the through pipe 1516 through the exhaust pipe 1515. After 1516, due to the continuous reciprocating motion of the extrusion plate 159, hot air is sprayed out through multiple nozzles 1517, so that the hot air is evenly sprayed around the crushing plate 5, preheating and softening the agglomerated material, improving crushing efficiency, and preventing wet material from adhering. The continuous spraying of hot air effectively softens the material before crushing, especially for agglomerated materials with high moisture content, further reducing crushing resistance, making the crushing process more efficient and smooth, and effectively avoiding material blockage. The recycling of hot air is not only energy-saving and environmentally friendly, but also significantly improves the continuous operation capability, ensuring uniform and stable output, and providing a good foundation for the subsequent granulation process.

[0065] As hot air is continuously ejected from nozzle 1517 and acts on the material, the grinding effect of crushing plate 5 is further enhanced. Combined with centrifugal force, the dispersed material is more easily and evenly guided into connecting pipe 91. Since guide pipe 92 is inverted conical, it will naturally gather the falling material and guide it to crushing hood 7 until it enters connecting pipe 91. After passing through connecting pipe 91, the material will directly enter receiving system 2 and then directly enter ring die granulation system 3 for ring die granulation, achieving efficient and continuous production. It should be noted that ring die granulation system 3 is existing technology, and the particle diameter produced by ring die granulation system 3 is between 1mm and 5cm. The closed cover 93 set on the top of crushing hood 7 can effectively prevent dust from overflowing during crushing, ensuring a clean working environment and reducing material loss.

[0066] When workers find that the crushed material still has clumps, they first turn off the drive motor 122, and then rotate the lifting handle 138 to drive the screw 134 at its bottom to rotate. When the screw 134 rotates, it will drive the synchronous gear 135 on its outer side to rotate together. The synchronous gear 135 will drive the synchronous belt 136 to rotate through multiple synchronous tooth grooves 137. The rotation of the synchronous belt 136 will drive the three synchronous gears 135 to rotate simultaneously, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the three screws 134. When the three screws 134 rotate synchronously, the receiving plates 132, which are threadedly connected to the three screws 134 respectively, will slowly rise. The rise of the receiving plates 132 will drive the bearing 131 to move upward, thereby driving the receiving block set in the inner ring of the bearing 131. 126 is raised accordingly, which in turn drives the drive rod 125 at the bottom of the receiving block 126 to move upward. During the upward movement, the drive rod 125 drives the crushing plate 5 at its bottom to rise synchronously, thereby shortening the distance between the crushing plate 5 and the crushing cover 7, enhancing the squeezing and grinding effect, and preventing the agglomerates from escaping further crushing. When the receiving block 126 moves upward, the receiving block 126 will slide on the outside of the rectangular block 124 through the rectangular groove 127 to ensure smooth movement without deviation. After the distance between the crushing plate 5 and the crushing cover 7 is adjusted, the drive motor 122 can be restarted and put into use again. At this point, production can continue. The entire adjustment process is fast and accurate, and maintenance can be completed without disassembling the equipment, which greatly saves downtime and ensures production continuity.
