[0032] See also Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a probiotic constant temperature dryer, including a drying chamber 2 which is rotatably arranged in a chassis 1, a heating component and a transmission component are respectively arranged on the outer side and the bottom of the drying chamber 2, a sprayer 3 is arranged in the center of the drying chamber 2, and a grinding component is arranged at the inner bottom of the drying chamber 2.

[0033] The drying chamber 2 in the chassis 1 is rotated and moves in a circular motion through the transmission component, and the probiotic mother liquid to be dried is sprayed inside the drying chamber 2 through the sprayer 3. At this time, the heating component is turned on to heat the outer side of the rotating drying chamber 2. While the drying chamber 2 rotates, the probiotic mother liquid sprayed inside the drying chamber 2 is dried at a constant temperature through the heating component. At the same time, the probiotic powder agglomerated during the drying process is broken under the action of the grinding component, and finally the required probiotic dry powder is obtained, thereby ensuring that the probiotic mother liquid will not agglomerate during the drying process.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, the case 1 includes a case door 101 and a case body 102 . An observation window 1011 is provided on the case door 101 to facilitate timely observation of the drying condition of the probiotic mother solution in the drying chamber 2 .

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, a handle 1012 is provided on the box door 101 to facilitate opening and closing of the box door 101.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first sealing ring 1013 and the second sealing ring 1021 are respectively provided on the side of the door 101 and the box body 102 close to the drying chamber 2, and rotating ring grooves 201 used in conjunction with the first sealing ring 1013 and the second sealing ring 1021 are respectively provided at both ends of the drying chamber 2, which can fully ensure the sealing of the drying chamber 2 during the circular motion.

[0037] The drying chamber 2 located inside the box body 102 is rotated and detachably installed by means of the second sealing ring 1021 on the box body 102 and the first sealing ring 1013 on the box door 101 .

[0038] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 As shown, the drying chamber 2 is a cylindrical chamber structure which is connected from front to back and has a raised middle portion.

[0039] The drying chamber 2 can move in a circular motion to ensure that the probiotic mother liquid therein is heated evenly, thereby improving the drying efficiency and drying effect of the probiotic mother liquid.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a nozzle 301 is connected to the output end of the sprayer 3, and the nozzle 301 passes through the inner wall of the box 102 and is located at the center of the drying chamber 2. At the same time, a storage hopper 4 for adding probiotic mother solution is connected to the input end of the sprayer 3.

[0041] The storage hopper 4 holds the probiotic mother liquid to be dried, and the probiotic mother liquid in the storage hopper 4 is transported to the spray pipe 301 through the spraying machine 3, so that the probiotic mother liquid can be evenly sprayed inside the drying chamber 2.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the nozzle 301 is a cylindrical nozzle 301, and a plurality of nozzles 302 are evenly distributed in an annular manner on the surface of the nozzle 301.

[0043] The probiotic mother liquid is formed into atomized droplets through the nozzle 302. When the atomized droplets at room temperature come into contact with the high-temperature gas in the drying chamber 2, the water in the atomized droplets will be evaporated, and the probiotics will adhere to the inner wall of the drying chamber 2. At the same time, the evaporated water vapor will form a high-temperature hot air flow.

[0044] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 As shown, a mounting frame 5 is provided on the back side of the box body 102 of the chassis 1, and the spraying machine 3 and the storage hopper 4 are mounted and fixed by the mounting frame 5.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of scrapers 6 are rotatably arranged inside the drying chamber 2 for scraping off the probiotic powder agglomerates adhering to the inner wall of the drying chamber 2, and the scraped probiotic powder agglomerates are ground and crushed by the grinding assembly, thereby ensuring that the probiotic powder will not agglomerate during the working process.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 3As shown, two scrapers 6 are provided, and the angles of the two scrapers 6 can be adjusted along their own installation axes. By adjusting the angles of the two scrapers 6, the probiotic powder mass adhered to the inner wall of the drying chamber 2 can be scraped off, and the installation and disassembly of the drying chamber 2 is convenient, which is beneficial to the cleaning and maintenance of the drying chamber 2 in the later stage.

[0047] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the transmission assembly includes two groups of transmission rollers 7 arranged in the box body 102 of the chassis 1 and rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer peripheral side of the drying chamber 2, and the two groups of transmission rollers 7 are driven by a pulley group 8. A rotating motor 9 is rotatably connected to one group of transmission rollers 7, and the rotating motor 9 is installed on the installation frame 5 on the back side of the box body 102.

[0048] Under the action of the rotating motor 9, a group of transmission rollers 7 connected to its transmission end are driven, and the power is transmitted to the other group of transmission rollers 7 through the pulley group 8, so that the drying chamber 2 in the box 102 and on the two groups of transmission rollers 7 performs a circular motion, which is convenient for the probiotic mother liquid sprayed by the nozzle 301 inside the drying chamber 2 to be dried.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the heating assembly includes a plurality of groups of heating plates 10 arranged in an annular manner on the outer peripheral side of the drying chamber 2 and located inside the box 102. The heating plates 10 are used to perform a constant temperature drying treatment on the atomized probiotic mother liquid in the drying chamber 2, and at the same time, the drying chamber 2 is made to perform a circular motion, so that the probiotic mother liquid in the drying chamber 2 is evenly heated.

[0050] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, three heating plates 10 are provided, and the heating temperature of the outside of the drying chamber 2 can be controlled by the heating plates 10, so that the probiotic mother liquid inside the drying chamber 2 can be dried at a constant temperature.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the grinding assembly includes a fixed rod 11 which is detachably mounted on the inner wall of the box body 102 and located inside the drying chamber 2, a mounting frame 12 is provided on the fixed rod 11, and a curved plate 13 which fits the curvature of the inner wall of the drying chamber 2 is connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 12, a plurality of grinding balls 14 for crushing the probiotic particles are provided on the curved plate 13, and a grinding gap exists between the grinding balls 14 and the inner wall of the drying chamber 2.

[0052] Through the cooperation of the plurality of grinding balls 14 arranged on the arc plate 13 and the drying chamber 2 performing circular motion, the probiotic powder agglomerates adhering to the inner wall of the drying chamber 2 and the probiotic powder agglomerates scraped off by the scraper 6 can be ground and crushed, ensuring that no agglomeration occurs during the drying process of the probiotic mother liquid.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a reflow machine 15 for guiding the hot air flow in the drying chamber 2 is also provided on the installation frame 5, and a reflow pipe 1501 is installed on the reflow machine 15. The reflow pipe 1501 is installed in the box body 102, and the pipe mouth of the reflow pipe 1501 is located in the drying chamber 2.

[0054] The high-temperature hot air flow in the drying chamber 2 is transported from the reflux pipe 1501 to the reflux machine 15 through the reflux machine 15, thereby taking away a large amount of water vapor volatilized in the drying chamber 2, thereby preventing the large amount of water vapor volatilized in the drying chamber 2 from aggravating the formation of probiotic powder clumps and affecting the drying of the probiotic mother liquid.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 As shown, a filter membrane 1502 is provided at the mouth of the reflux pipe 1501 for blocking the probiotics from passing through.

[0056] In summary, the utility model is a probiotic constant temperature dryer. When working, the probiotic mother liquid to be dried is placed in the storage hopper 4, the rotary motor 9 is started to make the drying chamber 2 move in a circular motion, and the heating plate 10 arranged in an annular manner on the outside of the drying chamber 2 inside the box body 102 is controlled to preheat the outside of the drying chamber 2. After the preheating is completed, the sprayer 3 and the reflux machine 15 are turned on, and the probiotic mother liquid to be dried in the storage hopper 4 is transported to the nozzle 301 through the sprayer 3. Under the action of the nozzle 302, the probiotic mother liquid is formed into atomized droplets. When the atomized droplets at room temperature come into contact with the high-temperature gas in the drying chamber 2, the water in the atomized droplets will be evaporated, and the probiotics will stick to the atomized droplets. Attached to the inner wall of the drying chamber 2, the evaporated water vapor will form a hot air flow with high temperature. At this time, the hot air flow containing a large amount of water vapor in the drying chamber 2 is transported from the pipe mouth of the reflux pipe 1501 to the reflux machine 15 through the reflux machine 15, so as to avoid the large amount of water vapor volatilized in the drying chamber 2 from affecting the drying treatment of the probiotic mother liquid and aggravating the formation of probiotic powder agglomerates. Under the action of the scraper 6, the probiotic powder agglomerates adhered to the inner wall of the drying chamber 2 in a uniformly rotating state are scraped off, and the grinding balls 14 on the arc plate 13 are used to grind and crush the probiotic powder agglomerates in the drying chamber 2, so that no agglomeration phenomenon will occur during the probiotic drying process. The structure is simple and practical.
