Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of continuous drying, and particularly relates to a drying mechanism for raw materials of pet plant preparations. Background Technique
[0002] Natural plant preparations mainly come from a variety of natural plants. After pretreatment such as cleaning, drying, cutting, and pulverizing, they are further finely processed, such as solid-liquid extraction, sieving, tablet making, or direct concentration, to produce high-quality products. Plants originate from nature, have mild and safe medicinal properties, and are rich in various active ingredients. Therefore, they have significant advantages in the field of pet health. Using natural plant preparations can effectively prevent and relieve pet health problems, ensure their healthy growth, and at the same time prevent and treat diseases and enhance resistance.
[0003] At present, the continuous dryers on the market still have some drawbacks that cannot be ignored during the drying process of natural plants: Since the lengths and sizes of plants are different, it is difficult for the dryer to ensure that all plants are evenly heated, resulting in uneven drying effects. Some plant raw materials may be over-dried, while others may be under-dried. During the over-drying process, high temperature and long-term heating may damage some active ingredients of the plants, leading to a decline in the quality of the medicinal materials. Under-drying may cause mildew and corruption of the plants during storage. Therefore, the utility model proposes a drying mechanism for raw materials of pet plant preparations to ensure uniform drying of materials and avoid problems such as uneven drying and material damage that may occur in traditional drying methods.
[0004] Regarding the problems in the related technology, no effective solutions have been proposed yet. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A drying mechanism for raw materials of pet plant preparations, including a frame. A conveyor is installed on the top of the frame. An upper feeding mechanism, a flattening mechanism, and a drying box are sequentially arranged on the top of the conveyor. The upper feeding mechanism includes a hopper. One side of the top of the hopper is connected with a feeding cylinder. The bottom end of the hopper is provided with a discharge port. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the top of the hopper. Cutting blades are fixed on the shaft body of the rotating shaft. A gear reduction box is installed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft. The output end of the gear reduction box is connected with a spiral feeding rod. The spiral feeding rod penetrates through the discharge port. The flattening mechanism includes a central shaft. Spiral blades are arranged at both ends of the shaft body of the central shaft. Bearings are rotatably connected to both ends of the central shaft. The bearings are fixed on the frame. Driving motors are installed at one end of the rotating shaft and the central shaft respectively.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the spiral directions of the spiral blades at both ends of the shaft body of the central shaft are opposite.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, inlets and outlets are provided at both ends of the drying box, the conveyor passes through the two inlets and outlets, a drying mechanism is arranged at the top of the drying box, and a wire mesh pressing device is fixed at the bottom of the drying box.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, a support is welded to the bottom of the hopper, and the hopper is fixed to the frame through the support.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, a scraping rod is fixed to the top of the screw feeding rod, and the scraping rod is arranged in contact with the inner wall of the hopper.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, an aggregate box is installed at the end of the conveyor on the frame.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0012] In the present utility model, the cleaned plant raw materials are cut into required sizes quickly and evenly by high-speed rotating cutting blades. This step not only helps the subsequent flattening and drying operations, but also enables the plant raw materials to better release their internal active ingredients during the subsequent extraction process. After chopping, the conveyor automatically conveys the materials to the flattening mechanism, which can evenly flatten the chopped plant raw materials on the surface of the conveyor. This flattening method ensures that the materials can be evenly heated during the drying process, avoiding the problem of uneven drying caused by material accumulation. Next, the flattened plant raw materials enter the drying box for automatic drying, thereby quickly removing the moisture in the materials. The present utility model integrates the functions of chopping, flattening and automatic drying, realizing the integrated drying operation of the cleaned plant raw materials. It not only greatly simplifies the previous process of plant drying work, but also improves the drying efficiency, providing strong technical support for the processing of plant raw materials.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0018] Embodiment
[0019] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A drying mechanism for raw materials of pet plant preparations, including a frame 1, on the top of which a conveyor 2 is assembled to realize continuous conveyance of raw materials. On the top of the conveyor 2, a feeding mechanism, a leveling mechanism and a drying box 3 are successively arranged to ensure the smooth progress of the process from feeding to drying of the raw materials. The core component of the feeding mechanism is a hopper 4, on one side of the top of which an inlet cylinder 5 is connected to facilitate the addition of raw materials. At the bottom of the hopper 4, there is a discharge port 6 for controlling the outflow speed of the raw materials. Particularly, a rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the top of the hopper 4, and a cutting blade 14 is fixed on the rotating shaft 7, which can pre-cut large pieces of raw materials. At the bottom end of the rotating shaft 7, a gear reducer 8 is installed, and the output end of the gear reducer 8 is connected to a spiral feeding rod 9, which passes through the discharge port 6 and can evenly feed the cut raw materials onto the surface of the conveyor 2. The leveling mechanism is mainly composed of a central shaft 10, and spiral blades 11 are installed at both ends of the central shaft 10, and the spiral directions of the spiral blades 11 at both ends are opposite, effectively spreading the piled-up raw materials to both sides and ensuring the uniform distribution of the raw materials in the drying box 3. Both ends of the central shaft 10 are connected to the frame 1 through supports 12 to ensure the structural stability. In addition, driving motors are installed at one end of each of the rotating shaft 7 and the central shaft 10 to provide power for the operation of the whole mechanism. The overall design of this drying mechanism is reasonable, and the components cooperate with each other, enabling efficient and uniform drying of the raw materials of pet plant preparations and meeting the production requirements of the pet product industry.
[0020] For the convenience of material entry and exit, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, both ends of the drying box 3 are provided with inlets and outlets 13, the conveyor 2 passes through the two inlets and outlets 13, a drying mechanism 15 is arranged on the top of the drying box 3, and a wire mesh 16 is fixed at the bottom of the drying box 3.
[0021] For the convenience of fixing the hopper 4, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, a bracket 17 is welded to the bottom of the hopper 4, and the hopper 4 is fixed to the frame 1 through the bracket 17.
[0022] For the convenience of scraping the material from the inner wall of the hopper 4, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, a scraping rod 19 is fixed to the top of the body of the spiral feeding rod 9, and the scraping rod 19 is arranged in contact with the inner wall of the hopper 4.
[0023] For the convenience of collecting the dried material, in this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, an aggregate box 18 is installed at the end of the conveyor 2 on the frame 1.
[0024] In summary, by means of the above technical solutions of the present utility model, during the formal use process, natural plants need to be orderly introduced into the feeding cylinder 5. Subsequently, through the rotation of the rotating shaft 7, the cutting blades 14 also rotate accordingly, so as to finely cut the plants entering the feeding cylinder 5. The chopped materials will directly enter the inside of the hopper 4 for unified collection.
[0025] During this process, through the action of the gear reduction box 8, the rotating speed of the rotating shaft 7 is effectively reduced, so as to ensure that the spiral feeding rod 9 at the output end can rotate stably. The spiral feeding rod 9 is responsible for guiding the chopped materials out of the discharge port 6 of the hopper 4 and accurately falling onto the surface of the conveyor 2. The conveyor 2 then smoothly transfers the materials to one end of the drying box 3.
[0026] When the material passes through the leveling mechanism, the rotation of the central shaft 10 will drive the spiral blades 11 at both ends of the shaft body to rotate synchronously. This move aims to evenly spread the plant scraps piled up in the center to both sides, ensuring uniform heating of the materials during the drying process, thereby improving the drying effect. Subsequently, the materials will enter the inside of the drying box 3 through the inlets and outlets 13 and be dried by means of the drying mechanism 15, and the metal wire mesh 16 is used to enhance the stability of the materials during the conveying process, ensuring the smooth progress of the drying process. The drying mechanism 15 can adopt hot air drying or microwave drying, which are both existing mature technologies and are not limited here.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that in the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, terms such as "installation", "setting", "connection", "fixation", "swivel connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two components or the interaction relationship between two components. Unless otherwise clearly defined, for those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0028] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
