Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inulin production, in particular to a rotary dryer. Background Art
[0002] Chicory inulin refers to the inulin obtained by removing protein and minerals from chicory roots and then spray drying. During production, it needs to go through the steps of slicing, drying, soaking, pulping, squeezing to remove impurities, filtering, concentrating and mixing. During drying, the sliced chicory needs to be dried.
[0003] At present, when the sliced chicory slices are dried, the chicory slices are placed in a drying device, and then the heat generated by the heating unit is used to dry them, and ventilation can also be used. However, when the chicory slices are placed, due to the large production volume, the chicory slices will be piled up in the drying device, which will cause the chicory slices piled on the surface to receive more heat and dry faster, while the chicory slices piled inside cannot be effectively dried by the heat, resulting in different drying efficiencies for the chicory slices piled outside and inside, which will affect production quality and production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] 1. Technical issues to be solved
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that, when a large number of chicory slices are dried, the chicory slices in the drying device are piled together, and the inner and outer chicory slices are heated differently, which leads to different drying efficiencies of the inner and outer chicory slices, thereby affecting the production efficiency. In addition, chicory slices with poor drying effect will affect the subsequent production process, thereby affecting the quality of the chicory inulin product.
[0006] (II) Technical solution
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by the utility model is: a rotary dryer, comprising a base and an annular plate, a top plate being fixedly connected to the upper end of the annular plate, a heating unit cooperating with the inner cavity of the annular plate being provided at the upper end of the top plate, at least one through hole being evenly arranged in an annular shape being provided on the annular plate, at least one evenly arranged holding plate cooperating with chicory slices being provided on the annular plate, a driving mechanism for driving the annular plate to rotate being provided on the base, the annular plate being rotatably arranged on the base, the driving mechanism comprising a driving casing located on one side of the base, a driving motor being provided in the driving casing, a driving wheel being located above the driving casing being provided at the output end of the driving motor, and an annular driven tooth meshing with the driving wheel being provided on the circumference of the annular plate.
[0008] As an improvement, an annular groove is provided in the annular plate, and an annular L-shaped plate matching the annular groove is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base. The annular L-shaped plate extends into the annular groove so that the annular plate can rotate above the base.
[0009] As an improvement, a protective shell matching the driving wheel is fixedly connected to the upper end of the driving housing on one side of the base.
[0010] As an improvement, the protective shell is provided with an adjustment knob electrically connected to the drive motor.
[0011] As an improvement, the inner cavities of the top plate and the annular plate are both provided with heat transfer pipes connected to the heating unit.
[0012] (III) Beneficial effects
[0013] The advantages of the utility model over the prior art are that the heating unit inputs heat into the annular plate, and the heat is transmitted to the periphery of the chicory slices on the holding plate through the through holes, so that the chicory slices can be dried. With the cooperation of the driving motor, the driving wheel and the annular driven gear, the annular plate can be driven to rotate, and the chicory slices placed on the holding plate can avoid accumulation, thereby not affecting the uniform drying of the chicory slices and the efficiency of the entire production process.

[0022] Through the above structure, the heat generated by the heating unit 3 can be discharged to the holding plate 4 through the through hole 5. How to realize the rotation? The specific structure is as follows:
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the annular plate 2 is rotatably arranged on the base 6, and an annular groove 13 is provided in the annular plate 2. An annular L-shaped plate 7 matching the annular groove 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 6. The annular L-shaped plate 7 extends into the annular groove 13 so that the annular plate 2 can rotate above the base 6. The driving mechanism includes a driving housing 8 located on one side of the base 6, and a driving motor is provided in the driving housing 8. The output end of the driving motor is provided with a driving wheel 10 located above the driving housing 8.
