Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rumen-protected cottonseed protein production, and more specifically, to a draining device for rumen-protected cottonseed protein production. Background Technology

[0002] Rumen-protected cottonseed protein is a high-quality plant protein primarily derived from cottonseed. Cottonseed is the seed of the cotton plant and is rich in nutrients, including protein, fat, fiber, minerals, and vitamins. During the production process, rumen-protected cottonseed protein is typically dried using a vacuum dryer, transforming the liquid form into a solid powder.

[0003] Existing vacuum dryers, when drying rumen-protected cottonseed protein, are susceptible to wall adhesion due to temperature and pressure conditions during the drying process. If the temperature is too high or the pressure too low, the moisture in the material evaporates too quickly, causing the material to adhere to the inner wall. Furthermore, cottonseed protein typically possesses a certain degree of stickiness and adhesion, making it easy for it to adhere to the dryer's inner wall upon contact. This wall adhesion not only affects the drying efficiency of the vacuum dryer for rumen-protected cottonseed protein but also reduces equipment efficiency and product quality. Solving these problems has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a draining device for the production of rumen-protected cottonseed protein, which aims to solve the problem of sticking to the wall when drying rumen-protected cottonseed protein in existing vacuum dryers.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

The support plate is disposed outside the vacuum dryer shell, and a rotating assembly is disposed outside the vacuum dryer shell. A striking assembly is disposed on the outer wall of the rotating assembly.

[0007] The rotating assembly consists of a drive unit and a cleaning unit. The drive unit is located on the outer wall of the support plate, and the cleaning unit is located inside the vacuum dryer housing.

[0008] The drive unit includes a motor, a first transmission component, an output shaft, a second transmission component, a rotating shaft, a half gear, and a full gear. The motor is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate. The first transmission component is installed at the output end of the motor.

The rotating shaft is installed on the outer wall of the second transmission component. The half gear is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft. The full gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vacuum dryer housing.

[0009] The cleaning unit includes a retaining ring and a scraper. The retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output shaft, and the scraper is located on the inner wall of the vacuum dryer housing.

[0010] Preferably, the output shaft passes through the support plate and extends into the interior of the vacuum dryer housing, and the outer wall of the output shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support plate through which it passes and the inner wall of the vacuum dryer housing, respectively.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the output shaft can rotate under the action of the transmission component.

[0012] Preferably, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the support plate, and the half gear meshes with the full gear.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating shaft can rotate inside the support plate. When the rotating shaft drives the half gear to rotate, it can drive the vacuum dryer housing to rotate through the full gear.

[0014] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the scraper, and the scraper and the fixing ring are fixedly connected by the connecting rod.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the output shaft rotates, the scraper can be driven to rotate through the fixed ring and connecting rod.

[0016] Preferably, the striking assembly includes a transmission component three, an eccentric wheel, a push rod, a circular plate, a square frame, a spring push plate, a buffer pad, a roller, and a baffle. The transmission component three is mounted on the outer wall of the output shaft, the eccentric wheel is mounted on the outer wall of the transmission component three, the push rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the eccentric wheel, the circular plate is located on the outer wall of the eccentric wheel, the square frame is located on the outer wall of the circular plate, the spring push plate is fixedly connected to the top of the square frame, the buffer pad is fixedly connected to the top of the spring push plate, the roller is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the circular plate, and the baffle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circular plate.

[0017] Preferably, the outer wall of the circular plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support plate, and the eccentric wheel passes through the circular plate and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the circular plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the transmission component is in operation, the push rod can be driven to rotate on the outer wall of the circular plate by the eccentric wheel.

[0019] Preferably, the outer wall of the push rod is slidably connected to the outer wall of the frame, and the outer walls of the roller and the baffle are in contact with the outer wall of the spring push plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the push rod rotates, it can drive the square frame to move. The presence of the roller and the baffle can limit the movement of the spring push plate.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0022] 1. By setting up a full gear and scraper, the motor is controlled to rotate, causing the output shaft to rotate. This rotation, via a fixed ring, drives the scraper to rotate inside the vacuum dryer housing. The scraper removes and cleans the rumen-free cottonseed protein adhering to the inner wall of the desiccant housing. Simultaneously, the output shaft's rotation drives the half gear via transmission component two. The rotation of the half gear, in turn, drives the full gear to oscillate the vacuum dryer housing. This oscillation causes the material to move within the housing, ensuring uniform drying and solving the problem of wall adhesion in existing vacuum dryers for rumen-free cottonseed protein.

[0023] 2. By setting an eccentric wheel and a buffer pad, when the output shaft rotates, the eccentric wheel is driven to rotate through the transmission component. When the eccentric wheel rotates, the spring push plate is moved through the push rod and the square frame, causing the buffer pad to collide with the surface of the vacuum dryer shell, causing the vacuum dryer shell to shake. When the vacuum dryer shell shakes under the force of the collision, materials with weak adhesion will directly separate from the vacuum dryer shell, thereby assisting the scraper in cleaning the materials adsorbed on the inner wall of the vacuum dryer shell.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 A draining device for producing rumen-processed cottonseed protein includes a vacuum dryer housing 1, a steam inlet pipe 2, an outlet pipe 3, a vacuum extraction pipe 4, and a support plate 5. An inlet pipe is installed on the top of the vacuum dryer housing 1, and a discharge pipe is installed on the bottom of the vacuum dryer housing 1. The steam inlet pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum dryer housing 1, the outlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vacuum dryer housing 1, and the vacuum extraction pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum dryer housing 1. The support plate 5 is located on the outside of the vacuum dryer housing 1. A rotating assembly 6 is provided on the outside of the vacuum dryer housing 1. The rotating assembly 6 consists of a drive unit and a cleaning unit. The drive unit is located on the outer wall of the support plate 5, and the cleaning unit is located inside the vacuum dryer housing 1. A knocking assembly 7 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating assembly 6.

[0033] The drive unit includes a motor 601, a first transmission component 602, an output shaft 603, a second transmission component 604, a rotating shaft 605, a half gear 606, and a full gear 607. The motor 601 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 5. The first transmission component 602 is installed at the output end of the motor 601. The output shaft 603 is installed on the outer wall of the first transmission component 602, passing through the support plate 5 and extending into the interior of the vacuum dryer housing 1. The outer wall of the output shaft 603 is rotatably connected to both the inner wall of the support plate 5 through which it passes and the inner wall of the vacuum dryer housing 1. The output shaft 603 can be driven... The first component 602 rotates under the action of the second transmission component 604, which is installed on the outer wall of the output shaft 603. The rotating shaft 605 is installed on the outer wall of the second transmission component 604. The rotating shaft 605 is rotatably connected to the support plate 5 and can rotate inside the support plate 5. The half gear 606 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 605, and the full gear 607 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vacuum dryer housing 1. The half gear 606 and the full gear 607 mesh. When the rotating shaft 605 drives the half gear 606 to rotate, the full gear 607 can drive the vacuum dryer housing 1 to rotate.

[0034] The cleaning unit includes a retaining ring 608 and a scraper 609. The retaining ring 608 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output shaft 603, and the scraper 609 is located on the inner wall of the vacuum dryer housing 1. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the scraper 609. The scraper 609 and the retaining ring 608 are fixedly connected through the connecting rod. When the output shaft 603 rotates, the scraper 609 can be rotated through the retaining ring 608 and the connecting rod.

[0035] By setting up a full gear 607 and a scraper 609, the motor 601 is controlled to rotate, causing the output shaft 603 to rotate under the action of the motor 601. At this time, the output shaft 603 will drive the scraper 609 to rotate inside the vacuum dryer housing 1 through the fixed ring 608. The scraper 609 will scrape and clean the rumen-free cottonseed protein adhering to the inner wall of the vacuum dryer housing 1. At the same time, when the output shaft 603 rotates, it can drive the half gear 606 to rotate through the transmission component 604. When the half gear 606 rotates, it can drive the vacuum dryer housing 1 to swing through the full gear 607. During the swinging process, the vacuum dryer housing 1 can cause the material to shake inside the vacuum dryer housing 1, ensuring that the vacuum dryer dries the material inside the housing evenly. This solves the problem of wall sticking when drying rumen-free cottonseed protein in existing vacuum dryers.

[0036] The striking assembly 7 includes a transmission component 701, an eccentric wheel 702, a push rod 703, a circular plate 704, a square frame 705, a spring push plate 706, a buffer pad 707, a roller 708, and a baffle 709. The transmission component 701 is mounted on the outer wall of the output shaft 603, the eccentric wheel 702 is mounted on the outer wall of the transmission component 701, the push rod 703 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the eccentric wheel 702, the circular plate 704 is located on the outer wall of the eccentric wheel 702, and the outer wall of the circular plate 704 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support plate 5. The eccentric wheel 702 passes through the circular plate 704 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the circular plate 704. When the transmission component 701 operates, it can drive the push rod 702 through the eccentric wheel 703. 3. The circular plate 704 rotates on its outer wall. The rectangular frame 705 is located on the outer wall of the circular plate 704. The outer wall of the push rod 703 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the rectangular frame 705. When the push rod 703 rotates, it can drive the rectangular frame 705 to move. The spring push plate 706 is fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular frame 705. The buffer pad 707 is fixedly connected to the top of the spring push plate 706. The roller 708 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the circular plate 704. The baffle 709 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circular plate 704. The outer walls of the roller 708 and the baffle 709 are in contact with the outer wall of the spring push plate 706. The presence of the roller 708 and the baffle 709 can limit the movement of the spring push plate 706.

[0037] By setting up an eccentric wheel 702 and a buffer pad 707, when the output shaft 603 rotates, the eccentric wheel 702 is driven to rotate through the transmission component 701. When the eccentric wheel 702 rotates, it pushes the spring push plate 706 to move through the push rod 703 and the square frame 705, causing the buffer pad 707 to collide with the surface of the vacuum dryer shell 1, causing the vacuum dryer shell 1 to shake. When the vacuum dryer shell 1 shakes under the force of the collision, the material with weak adhesion will be directly separated from the vacuum dryer shell 1, thereby assisting the scraper 609 in cleaning the material adsorbed on the inner wall of the vacuum dryer shell 1.

[0038] The working principle of this rumen-exposed cottonseed protein production draining device is as follows: The material to be drained is conveyed to the interior of the vacuum dryer shell 1 through the input pipe, and steam is conveyed through the steam inlet pipe 2. The vacuum dryer shell 1 is then sealed, and the motor 601 is started. The motor 601 drives the output shaft 603 to rotate via transmission component 602. Transmission component 604, under the action of the output shaft 603, drives the half gear 606 to rotate. The full gear 607, under the action of the half gear 606, causes the vacuum dryer shell 1 to oscillate. When the vacuum dryer shell 1 oscillates, it causes the material accumulated at the bottom of the inner wall of the vacuum dryer shell 1 to shake, avoiding excessive pressure on the material at the bottom and increasing the adhesion between the material and the vacuum dryer shell 1. Simultaneously, when the output shaft 603 rotates, it drives the scraper 609 to rotate via the fixing ring 608. The scraper 609 rotates... During operation, materials adhering to the inner wall of the vacuum dryer housing 1 can be cleaned. When steam is generated inside the vacuum dryer housing 1 during the drying process, the steam inside the vacuum dryer housing 1 is extracted through the vacuum tube 4. At the same time, the output shaft 603 drives the eccentric wheel 702 to rotate through the transmission component 701, and pushes the square frame 705 to move back and forth through the push rod 703. When the square frame 705 moves, it pushes the buffer pad 707 to collide with the outer wall of the vacuum dryer housing 1 through the spring push plate 706, causing the vacuum dryer housing 1 to vibrate. When the vacuum dryer housing 1 shakes under the force of the collision, materials with weak adhesion will directly separate from the vacuum dryer housing 1. The auxiliary scraper 609 cleans the materials adhering to the inner wall of the vacuum dryer housing 1. After draining, the protein powder can be discharged through the discharge port of the vacuum dryer housing 1.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
