The solid beverage grain drying box 401 is separated by a middle partition, and the time that the grains stay in the solid beverage grain drying box 401 is increased, so that they can be fully dried. The vibrator 407 and the support spring 409 are provided in combination, so that the solid beverage grain drying box 401 can be vibrated, so as to prevent the grains from staying on a certain layer of the anti-deposition mesh plate 405 and being unable to fall. The electric heating rod 403 and the fan 404 cooperate with each other to provide a hot air flow for the interior of the solid beverage grain drying box 401, so as to dry the grains and prevent them from sticking. The anti-deposition mesh plate 405 is lower at one end close to the drying air cylinder 402, so as to prevent the grains thereon from being blown to the end away from the drying air cylinder 402 and being accumulated after being swept by the air flow.

[0028] See also Figure 4 As shown, a solid beverage granulator, the granulator extrusion component 2 is used to extrude the paste material to facilitate the subsequent cutting and granulation work, the extrusion piston 205 and the threaded interface 203 form a threaded detachable structure through the threaded joint 204, the extrusion cylinder 206 and the support block 208 form a clamping structure, and the support block 208 and the solid beverage granulator support frame 1 are integrated.

[0029] See also Figure 5 As shown, a granulator for solid beverages, the cutting and granulating component 3 is used to cut the strip raw materials into granules by means of a rotating cutting plate, the servo motor 301 forms a transmission structure with the granulating cutting plate 303 through a rotating shaft 302, and the top of the granulating cutting plate 303 contacts the bottom end of the extrusion terminal 209, the servo motor 301 rotates the granulating cutting plate 303 through the rotating shaft 302, and the rotating granulating cutting plate 303 will cut the strip raw materials discharged from the bottom end when it rotates to the bottom end of the extrusion terminal 209, and the granulated matter after cutting will fall into the interior of the solid beverage granule drying box 401.

[0030] Working principle: First, pour the pre-mixed paste solid beverage production raw materials into the extrusion cylinder 206, and start the hydraulic lifting rod 201, servo motor 301 and vibrator 407 at the same time. The hydraulic lifting rod 201 pushes the extrusion piston 205 downward through the lifting rod push rod 202 and slowly inserts into the extrusion cylinder 206. During the downward movement inside, the paste solid beverage raw materials inside will be squeezed downward. The squeezed raw materials will slowly be discharged from the various circular discharge ports 210 inside the extrusion end 209 at the bottom. While being discharged, the servo motor 301 rotates the granulation cutting plate 303 through the rotating shaft 302. When the rotating granulation cutting plate 303 rotates to the bottom of the extrusion end 209, it will cut the strip raw materials discharged from the bottom.

[0031] The vibrator 407 vibrates the solid beverage grain drying box 401, and the electric heating rod 403 and the fan 404 are started at the same time. The rotating blades of the fan 404 bring airflow from the outside into the solid beverage grain drying box 401. When the airflow passes through the drying air cylinder 402, the electric heating rod 403 on the inner wall of the drying air cylinder 402 heats the airflow, and then the hot airflow blows into the interior of the solid beverage grain drying box 401. The solid beverage grains in the solid beverage grain drying box 401 will first fall onto the top anti-accumulation mesh plate 405. Under the vibration of the vibrator 407, the grains gradually fall downward through each layer of the anti-accumulation mesh plate 405. While falling downward, they will be swept by the hot airflow and then dried. The dried solid beverage grains will fall into the storage drawer 413 below through the unloading cloth bag 411. After the granulation is completed, the storage drawer 413 is slid outward to pull out, and the beverage grains can be taken out for subsequent processing.

[0032] When the work is finished, the threaded joint 204 can be separated from the threaded interface 203 by rotating the extrusion piston 205, and then the extrusion piston 205 can be removed. Then, the extrusion cylinder 206 can be removed by pulling it upward, and the inside of the extrusion cylinder 206 and the surface of the extrusion piston 205 can be cleaned.
