DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-6 , the present utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0029] A drying device for Jerusalem artichoke extract, comprising two support plates 1. The inner side of the support plate 1 is bolted with a housing 2. A drying cylinder 3 is rotatably connected inside the housing 2. The drying cylinder 3 communicates with the housing 2. A preheating and conveying assembly 4 is arranged at the top of the rear housing 2. A heating device 5 is arranged outside the drying cylinder 3. A driving structure 6 is arranged on the front side of the front support plate 1. The inner side of the driving structure 6 is fixedly connected to the inside of the drying cylinder 3. A pushing structure 8 is arranged at the rear of the rear housing 2. A discharge valve 9 is communicated with the bottom of the front housing 2.

[0030] The preheating and conveying assembly 4 includes a feeding pipe 401 communicated with the top of the rear housing 2. An electric preheating ring 402 is arranged outside the feeding pipe 401. A feeding hopper 403 is communicated with the rear side of the top of the feeding pipe 401. A conveying motor 404 is bolted to the rear side of the feeding pipe 401. The output end of the conveying motor 404 penetrates through the rear side of the feeding pipe 401. A spiral conveying blade 405 is bolted to the output end of the conveying motor 404. The spiral conveying blade 405 is located inside the feeding pipe 401.

[0031] In this embodiment: By adding Jerusalem artichoke extract into the feeding hopper 403, the conveying motor 404 is started, driving the spiral conveying blade 405 to rotate in the feeding pipe 401. The spiral conveying blade 405 pushes the Jerusalem artichoke extract to be conveyed forward in the feeding pipe 401. At the same time, the electric preheating ring 402 outside the feeding pipe 401 preheats the extract, increasing the temperature of the extract. The preheated extract enters the top of the rear housing 2 from the feeding pipe 401 and flows into the drying cylinder 3 communicated with the housing 2. The driving structure 6 is started, driving the drying cylinder 3 to rotate inside the housing 2. The heating device 5 heats the drying cylinder 3. As the drying cylinder 3 rotates, the extract tumbles continuously in the cylinder, being evenly heated, and the moisture in the extract gradually evaporates, realizing the drying process. When the extract is dried, the driving structure 6 and the heating device 5 stop working. The pushing structure 8 is started, pushing the dried extract towards the discharge end of the drying cylinder 3. Finally, the discharge valve 9 is opened, and the dried extract is discharged from the bottom of the front housing 2.

[0032] Specifically, as Figure 4As shown in the figure, a monitoring component 7 is arranged on the front side of the front side support plate 1. The monitoring component 7 includes a temperature and humidity monitor 701 bolted to the top of the front side housing 2, and the monitoring end of the temperature and humidity monitor 701 is located inside the left side housing 2.

[0033] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, a data receiver 702 is bolted to the front side of the front side support plate 1, and the data receiver 702 is electrically connected to the temperature and humidity monitor 701.

[0034] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, a controller 703 is bolted to the bottom of the data receiver 702, and the controller 703 is electrically connected to the data receiver 702.

[0035] In this embodiment: The temperature and humidity inside the drying cylinder 3 communicated with the outer housing 2 are monitored in real time by the temperature and humidity monitor 701. Its monitoring end is located inside the left side housing 2, which can accurately reflect the environmental state during the drying process. The temperature and humidity monitor 701 transmits the monitored data to the data receiver 702. After the data receiver 702 receives and processes these data, it transmits them to the controller 703. The controller 703 adjusts the entire heating device 5 according to the received temperature and humidity data. When the temperature is too high, the controller 703 can adjust the heating device 5 to reduce the power or stop heating. When the humidity reaches a certain standard, it is determined that the extract has been dried. The controller 703 can control the driving structure 6 and the heating device 5 to stop working, and start the pushing structure 8 and open the discharge valve 9 for discharging operation.

[0036] Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, the driving structure 6 includes a driving motor 601 bolted to the front side of the front side support plate 1. The output end of the driving motor 601 sequentially penetrates the front side of the front side support plate 1 and the front side housing 2, and the driving motor 601 is electrically connected to the controller 703.

[0037] Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, a shaft rod 602 is bolted to the output end of the driving motor 601, and a connecting rod 603 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the shaft rod 602. The connecting rod 603 is fixedly connected to the top side inside the drying cylinder 3.

[0038] In this embodiment: By electrically connecting the driving motor 601 to the controller 703, precise speed control can be achieved, and the rotation speed of the drying cylinder 3 can be adjusted according to different drying requirements, thereby optimizing the drying effect. Moreover, the driving motor 601 directly drives the top side inside the drying cylinder 3 to rotate through the shaft rod 602 and the connecting rod 603, with high transmission efficiency, which can ensure the stable rotation of the drying cylinder 3, enabling the Jerusalem artichoke extract to fully tumble and be evenly heated inside the cylinder, improving the drying efficiency.

[0039] Specifically, as Figure 5As shown, an electric push rod 801 is bolted to the rear side of the rear side support plate 1, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 801 sequentially penetrates through the rear side of the rear side support plate 1 and the rear side housing 2.

[0040] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, a pushing ring plate 802 is bolted to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 801, and the pushing ring plate 802 is located inside the rear side housing 2.

[0041] In this embodiment: Through the cooperation of the electric push rod 801 and the pushing ring plate 802, after drying is completed, the dried Jerusalem artichoke extract can be quickly and effectively pushed out of the drying cylinder 3, facilitating the discharging operation, improving production efficiency. Moreover, since the pushing ring plate 802 is located inside the rear side housing 2, it can push the extract more comprehensively, preventing the extract from accumulating and blocking at the discharge port, ensuring the smoothness of discharging.

[0042] Working principle: During the use of the drying device for Jerusalem artichoke extract, the drying and discharging operations are achieved through the following steps:

[0043] First, add the Jerusalem artichoke extract into the feeding hopper 403. The conveying motor 404 drives the spiral conveying blade 405 to push the extract forward in the feeding pipe 401. At the same time, the electric preheating ring 402 preheats the extract. The preheated extract enters the drying cylinder 3. The driving motor 601 is started under the control of the controller 703, and drives the drying cylinder 3 to rotate through the shaft rod 602 and the connecting rod 603. The heating device 5 heats the drying cylinder 3, causing the extract to continuously tumble and be evenly heated inside the cylinder, and the moisture gradually evaporates for drying. The temperature and humidity monitor 701 continuously monitors the temperature and humidity inside the housing 2 and transmits the data to the data receiver 702. The data receiver 702 then transmits the data to the controller 703. The controller 703 regulates the entire device according to the temperature and humidity data. When drying is completed, the controller 703 controls the driving motor 601 and the heating device 5 to stop working. The electric push rod 801 is started under the control of the controller 703 to push the pushing ring plate 802, pushing the dried Jerusalem artichoke extract towards the discharge valve 9. Finally, open the discharge valve 9 to complete the discharging, and the overall cooperation is to improve the drying efficiency and product quality of the Jerusalem artichoke extract.

[0044] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
