AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When the existing tumble dryer dryers dry lactose crystallize, the hot and cold air contact time and insufficient contact with the same part of the drum are short, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency and waste of energy.

Method used

A lactose crystal drying device is designed, by fixing the connection of multiple fins in the circumferential and axial direction on the surface of the drum, hot and cold air are driven by the fins to flow around the drum, increasing the contact time at the same part as the drum. At the same time, an upper baffle and a lower baffle are provided in the insulation cylinder to fill the space from the middle to both ends, increasing the residence time of hot and cold air.

Benefits of technology

By increasing the contact time and residence time of hot air and cold air, the heat exchange effect with the drum and its internal lactose is improved, the energy utilization rate is improved, and the energy waste problem caused by insufficient contact between hot air and cold air in the prior art is solved.

Abstract

The lactose crystallizing and drying device comprises a rack, an upper baffle and a lower baffle are perpendicularly and fixedly connected to the two ends of a heat preservation cylinder respectively, the upper baffle is located on the side, corresponding to a hot air pipe, of a middle partition plate, the lower baffle is located on the side, corresponding to a cold air pipe, of the middle partition plate, and a plurality of fins are fixedly connected to the surface of a roller at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. And a plurality of groups of fins are arranged on the surface of the roller close to the middle partition plate along the axial direction at equal intervals. The multiple fins are fixedly connected to the surface of the roller in the circumferential direction and the axial direction, the upper baffle is arranged at the hot air end of the heat preservation barrel, and the lower baffle is arranged at the cold air end of the heat preservation barrel. The hot air and the cold air fill the space from the middle to the two ends in the heat preservation barrel, the hot air fills the space from top to bottom in the heat preservation barrel, and the cold air fills the space from bottom to top in the heat preservation barrel to overflow, so that the retention time of the hot air and the cold air in the heat preservation barrel is prolonged, heat exchange with the roller and lactose in the roller is improved, and the energy utilization rate is increased.
