[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food additives, and particularly relates to a dryer which is convenient for filling. Background Technique
[0002] Compound additives are formulated mixtures containing two or more food additives. In the production and processing of compound food additives, dryers are often needed to dry the compound additives.
[0003] The patent with the authorized announcement number of CN220852897U in China, named an automatic drying device for food additives, includes a drying cylinder. Support rods are arranged on both the left and right sides of the drying cylinder. A feed hopper is fixedly installed at the top of the drying cylinder. A drying mechanism is arranged inside the drying cylinder. The drying mechanism includes a first motor, a rotating rod, a second motor, a pulley, a stirring shaft, a dryer, an air collecting box, a duct and an isolation net. For this automatic drying device for food additives, first, the material enters the drying cylinder from the feed hopper. After placement, the controller drives the two dryers to start. The hot air enters the drying cylinder through the duct. Then the controller drives the first motor to start, which can drive the rotating rod to rotate, so that the drying cylinder rotates, preventing the additives from accumulating and being difficult to dry. Finally, the controller drives the second motor to start, which can drive the stirring shaft to rotate through the pulley, so as to disperse the additives and further accelerate the drying speed, making the drying of the additives more efficient.
[0004] Although the above device can make the drying of additives more efficient, there are still some problems when using this device:
[0005] 1. This device does not have an automatic feeding mechanism, and manual filling of materials is required. Therefore, it is relatively inconvenient to fill the materials of this device.
[0006] 2. This device does not have a stable supporting mechanism. It is supported by two support rods, and the stability is poor.
[0007] In view of the above situation, technical innovation is carried out on the basis of the existing dryer. Content of the Utility Model
[0008] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a dryer which is convenient for filling, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.
[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a dryer that is easy to fill, including a shell and a controller, a drying cylinder is fixed to the inner bottom end of the shell, and a cover body is arranged at the top of the shell, a humidity sensor is fixed to one end of the bottom wall of the cover body, a material level sensor 1 is fixed to the top end of the inner rear wall of the drying cylinder, and a material level sensor 2 is fixed to the bottom end of the inner rear wall of the drying cylinder, a feed pump is fixed to the top end of one side of the shell, and a discharge pump is fixed to the bottom end of the shell on a side away from the feed pump, and the controller is fixed to the front end of the shell.
[0010] Furthermore, the feed pump and the discharge pump are both powder pumps, and the drying cylinder, the humidity sensor, the first material level sensor, the second material level sensor, the feed pump and the discharge pump are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0011] Furthermore, the controller is a PLC controller.
[0012] Furthermore, a filter cover is fixed to the bottom wall of the cover body on one side away from the humidity sensor, and an air outlet valve is fixed to the top wall of the cover body on one side close to the filter cover.
[0013] Furthermore, a stirring motor is fixed at the middle of the top end of the cover body, and a stirring rod is fixed at the output end of the stirring motor.

One side top end of the housing 1 is fixed with a feed pump 7, and one side bottom end of the housing 1 away from the feed pump 7 is fixed with a discharge pump 8. The controller 9 is fixed to the front end of the housing 1. The feed pump 7 and the discharge pump 8 are both powder pumps, and the drying cylinder 2, the humidity sensor 4, the material level sensor 1 5, the material level sensor 2 6, the feed pump 7 and the discharge pump 8 are all electrically connected to the controller 9.

When the humidity of the air inside the housing 1 is lower than the specified level and has lasted for a certain period of time, it can be considered that the material has been fully dried. At this time, the controller 9 will turn on the discharge pump 8, and the discharge pump 8 will pump out the fully dried material in the drying cylinder 2 and transport it to the collection container. When the material in the drying cylinder 2 is basically emptied, the second level sensor 6 will send a message to the controller 9. At this time, the controller 9 will turn off the discharge pump 8 and turn on the feed pump 7 to pump the material to be dried into the housing 1. When the material reaches the height of the first level sensor 5, the second level sensor 6 sends a signal to the controller 9. At this time, the controller 9 will turn off the feed pump 7 and turn on the drying cylinder 2. The legs 14 lift the housing 1 off the ground, and the cross brace 15 can effectively improve the stability and bearing strength of the legs 14. The legs 14 and the cross brace 15 are both made of stainless steel, and the legs 14 are welded and fixed to the cross brace 15 and the bottom plate 1601. The bottom plate 1601 can greatly increase the supporting surface of the device, thereby further improving the stability of the device. The rubber pad 1602 can not only prevent the device from sliding during operation but also play a certain role in shock absorption and buffering, further improving the working stability of the device. This is the working principle of the dryer that is convenient for filling.
