Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spray drying towers, in particular to a spray drying tower which is easy to clean. Background Art
[0002] A spray drying tower is a device that can simultaneously dry and granulate, and is commonly used in the fields of biological pesticides, medicine, food microorganisms, etc. Its main function is to atomize various emulsion raw materials into tiny droplets, remove moisture through instantaneous high temperature, and form tiny solid particles, thereby achieving powderization of the raw materials. After the spray drying tower is used, it is easy for residual materials to adhere to its interior, so it needs to be cleaned.
[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN220736202U discloses a spray drying tower that is easy to clean. The device uses a lifting cylinder to drive the cleaning component at the bottom of the U-shaped frame into the interior of the drying tower body, and then uses the forward and reverse motor inside the motor box to drive the disc to rotate. The disc pushes multiple L-shaped plates to expand outward at the same time through a V-shaped rod, so that the cleaning brush plate on the baffle will contact the inner wall of the drying tower body, thereby being able to clean the materials attached to the inner wall of the drying tower. With respect to the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventor believes that there are the following defects:
[0004] When the device is actually used, since the idle cleaning components are placed outside the drying tower, dust and impurities attached to the cleaning components are easily brought into the drying tower during the cleaning process inside the drying tower, which will cause secondary pollution inside the drying tower. At the same time, materials will also be attached to the cleaning components during the cleaning process. In addition, the device lacks an integrated structure that can remove materials on the cleaning components, which will affect the cleaning effect of the inside of the drying tower. For this reason, we provide a spray drying tower that is easy to clean. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to solve the problem in the above background technology that the cleaning component is easily attached with external dust and impurities when idle and is easily contaminated with materials during cleaning, which reduces the cleaning effect of the inside of the drying tower, the utility model provides a spray drying tower that is easy to clean.
[0006] The utility model adopts the following technical scheme to achieve: a spray drying tower that is easy to clean, comprising:
[0007] A drying tower body, wherein one side of the top of the drying tower body is fixedly connected to a feed pipe, and the center of the bottom of the drying tower body is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe;
[0008] A scraping assembly, which includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inside of a drying tower body, a motor fixedly connected to the top center of the drying tower body and the rotor end of the motor is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, a hollow tube is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft in an equidistant and circumferentially symmetrical manner, the inside of the hollow tube is movably connected with a limit plate, one end of the limit plate is fixedly connected to a cross bar and the end of the cross bar extends to the outside of the hollow tube, a spring is added to the inside of the hollow tube, the ends of the two groups of cross bars on the same side are fixedly connected to the same vertical scraper, and the bottom end of the vertical scraper is fixedly connected to an inclined scraper.
[0009] As a further improvement of the above scheme, the discharge pipe is movably connected to an annular scraper inside, a telescopic rod is equidistantly and circumferentially fixedly connected the inner wall of the annular scraper and the rotating shaft, the inner wall of the annular scraper is also equidistantly and circumferentially fixedly connected to an L-shaped connecting piece, and a connecting rod is symmetrically hinged between the bottom end of the inclined scraper and the L-shaped connecting piece through a hinge.
[0010] As a further improvement of the above solution, the bottom of the drying tower body is designed as a funnel-shaped structure.
[0011] As a further improvement of the above solution, a solenoid valve is provided on the discharge pipe.
[0012] As a further improvement of the above solution, two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the limiting plate and the inner wall of the hollow tube respectively.
[0013] As a further improvement of the above solution, the diameter of the annular scraper matches the inner diameter of the discharge pipe.
[0014] As a further improvement of the above solution, the top of the annular scraper is designed to be inclined inwards.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0016] 1. The utility model drives the rotating shaft to rotate through a motor, so that the rotating shaft can drive the vertical scraper and the inclined scraper to rotate. At the same time, the centrifugal force generated during the rotation process is utilized, and under the active cooperation between the limit plate and the hollow tube, the vertical scraper and the inclined scraper can contact the inner wall of the drying tower body, so that the material attached to the inner wall during drying can be scraped off, thereby reducing the amount of material attached to the inside of the drying tower body, making it convenient to clean it later. After the material inside the drying tower body is emptied, the rotating shaft is regularly rotated intermittently by controlling the motor, and under the active cooperation between the limit plate and the hollow tube, the action of the centrifugal force and the elastic action of the spring, the vertical scraper and the inclined scraper can not only clean the inner wall of the drying tower body, but also can regularly hit the inner wall of the drying tower body to generate vibration to shake off the material on the inner wall and the scraper, thereby avoiding affecting the cleaning effect of the drying tower body. At the same time, the cleaning and scraping component is arranged inside the device, which will not cause secondary pollution to the inside of the drying tower body, and has strong practicality.
[0017] 2. In the process of the motor driving the scraping assembly to rotate intermittently regularly, the utility model can drive the annular scraper to rotate and move vertically regularly through the back and forth movement of the inclined scraper, the active cooperation between the annular scraper and the discharge pipe, the telescopic effect of the telescopic rod, the L-shaped connecting piece and the hinged action between the inclined scraper and the connecting rod, so that the residual material attached to the inside of the discharge pipe can be removed, thereby improving the thoroughness of the cleaning of the inside of the drying tower body and further improving the practicability of the device.
