Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of microwave vacuum low-temperature drying equipment, and particularly relates to a microwave vacuum low-temperature liquid continuous belt dryer. Background Technique

[0002] Vacuum continuous liquid belt dryers are a type of drying equipment with relatively frequent applications. They are widely used in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. The heat sources of existing vacuum continuous belt dryers are media such as steam, superheated water, and heat-conducting oil, and require supporting infrastructure such as steam. Their heat transfer method mainly relies on conduction. The heating plate transfers heat to the track belt, and then the track belt transfers heat to the material, with a low heat transfer coefficient, seriously affecting the drying efficiency. For heat-sensitive materials (such as traditional Chinese medicine powders, etc.), due to the limitation of the temperature upper limit, the temperature of the heating medium needs to be maintained at a low level to prevent damage to the internal molecular structure of the product to be evaporated, etc. Therefore, its drying efficiency will be even lower. Therefore, technicians have developed microwave vacuum low-temperature drying equipment, which can evaporate the moisture in the product to be dried at a low temperature, thereby achieving the drying purpose.

[0003] The patent document with the patent number and publication number CN118031574A discloses a tunnel-type microwave vacuum ultra-low temperature drying equipment and a material drying process, which are used for drying materials. The tunnel-type microwave vacuum ultra-low temperature drying equipment includes: a main equipment, the main equipment includes a cavity and a plurality of first microwave generators. The cavity is a cylindrical structure, and the cross-sectional shape of the cylinder inside the cavity is a regular polygon. The plurality of first microwave generators are respectively arranged on the outer wall surface of the cavity and are at least arranged in sequence along the length direction of the cavity; a vacuum unit, the vacuum port of the vacuum unit is connected to the cavity through a pipeline; a chiller, the cooling water pipe of the chiller is connected to the first microwave generator, and the chiller is used to cool the first microwave generator. By utilizing the characteristic that microwave can generate heat through the oscillation of polar molecules, and supplemented by the vacuum unit to evacuate the cavity, the water-containing materials in the cavity can be quickly and low-temperature evaporated in a vacuum environment to achieve drying, with high drying efficiency. In addition, it can avoid damage to the materials due to excessive temperature. However, this utility model has the following deficiencies: 1) This utility model belongs to intermittent microwave low-temperature evaporation, that is, after evaporating a batch of products, the cavity needs to be opened and new products to be evaporated need to be sent in. Its continuity is not very high, mainly for the evaporation of solid products, especially products such as packaging paper bags; 2) It is not suitable for the evaporation of liquid products, especially continuous evaporation; 3) The requirements for the conveyor inside the cavity are not high.

[0004] In addition, the problems that need to be solved for low-temperature concentration of liquids are as follows: 1) How to clean the inside of the cavity; 2) How to control the initial concentration of the liquid entering the vacuum cavity; 3) How to evenly distribute the liquid on the conveying mechanism to ensure the evaporation effect; 4) How to correct the deviation and clean the belt of the conveying mechanism; 5) How to collect and pack the dried product under vacuum; 6) How to timely drain the water in the water collection tank in a continuous operation vacuum environment; 7) How to save energy as much as possible.
