Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural waste treatment technology, specifically to a tea residue granule dryer. Background Technology

[0002] These particles are mainly composed of crude fiber, pectin, and protein from tea leaves, and may sometimes contain small amounts of theaflavins, caffeine, and other substances. The formation of these particles is due to both the inherent characteristics of the tea leaves and the effects of the processing techniques.

[0003] The existing technology mainly uses a drying drum with spiral feeding or a conveyor belt to feed the tea leaves into the drying chamber. The tea leaves are light and fluffy, and when used as a cultivation material for drying, they are prone to over-drying the surface and insufficient drying inside, and the drying efficiency is low.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, CN211903658U discloses a drying device for tea residue culture medium. This device utilizes multiple umbrella-shaped guide plates, driven by a rotating shaft and a motor, with gradually increasing diameter and inclination angle, installed inside the drying drum. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation allows the culture medium to be evenly dispersed. This is particularly effective for lightweight and loose tea residue, forming a uniform thin layer that extends unobstructed at the ends of the umbrella-shaped guide plates, ensuring comprehensive and uniform drying and improving the drying effect. Simultaneously, the centrifugal force promotes rapid dehydration of the culture medium, achieving a drying effect even for culture medium with high moisture content.

[0005] The existing technology still has the following shortcomings: the reprocessing of tea residue particles requires drying through a dryer, but the existing drying equipment has poor drying effect and takes a long time, and cannot carry out continuous drying operations. It also cannot distinguish tea residue of different particle sizes when discharging. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] This utility model provides a tea residue granule dryer, including a base 1:

[0031] The top of the base 1 is provided with a drying mechanism 2 for rotating drying, one end of the drying mechanism 2 is provided with a heating mechanism 3 to increase the drying effect, and one end of the base 1 is provided with a sorting mechanism 4 for screening particle size.

[0032] The drying mechanism 2 includes a power component, a rotating component, and an external heating component. The power component is located on the top of the base 1, the rotating component is located at one end of the power component, and the external heating component is located on the outside of the rotating component.

[0033] Through the cooperation of the power unit, the rotating unit and the external heating unit, the drying operation is completed by heating while rotating and turning the material.

[0034] The heating mechanism 3 includes a conveying component, a support component, and an air supply component. The conveying component is located at one end of the rotating component, the support component is located at one end of the conveying component, and the air supply component is located inside the support component.

[0035] By coordinating the conveying components, support components, and air supply components, hot air is blown from the ends to increase the internal temperature, thereby improving the effect and efficiency of drying and heating.

[0036] The sorting mechanism 4 includes a bearing component and a vibration component. The bearing component is located at one end of the base 1, and the vibration component is located on top of the bearing component.

[0037] By combining the bearing component and the vibration component, the dried tea residue particles can be screened to distinguish tea residue of different particle sizes.

[0038] Preferred:

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the power assembly includes a motor 21, which is fixedly installed at one end of the top of the base 1. The output shaft of the motor 21 is keyed to a drive gear 22, and a driven gear 23 meshes with the top of the drive gear 22. A connecting pipe 24 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the driven gear 23, thus realizing the power output during rotary drying.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, the rotating assembly includes a bracket 25, which is fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the base 1. A rotating cylinder 26 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the bracket 25. A blade 27 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the rotating cylinder 26. One end of the rotating cylinder 26 is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 24, which can complete the turning and conveying of tea residue particles during drying.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the external heating assembly includes a heat insulation cover 28, which is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating cylinder 26, and a heating tube 29 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the heat insulation cover 28.

[0042] It enables simultaneous external heating during rotating and turning of materials to increase the internal temperature and facilitate drying operations;

[0043] During operation, when tea residue particles are added into the rotating drum 26, the heating tube 29 is preheated to the required temperature. Then, the motor 21 drives the driven gear 23 to rotate through the drive gear 22. When the driven gear 23 rotates, it drives the rotating drum 26 to rotate through the connecting pipe 24. As a result, when the rotating drum 26 rotates, it drives the blades 27 to rotate together to facilitate the material turning operation.

[0044] During the rotation process, clockwise and counterclockwise rotation can be achieved as needed. After drying, the continuous rotation will cause the material to be discharged from the right end.

[0045] further:

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the conveying assembly includes a conveying pipe 31, which is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating drum 26. The top of the conveying pipe 31 is connected to a feeding pipe 32, which serves to add and convey materials. Both are inclined at a certain angle to ensure smooth feeding.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the support assembly includes a delivery pipe 31, one end of which is connected to an air supply pipe 33 via a flange. A mesh 34 is fixedly installed at one end of the air supply pipe 33 to facilitate support and protection of the internal components.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, the air supply assembly includes a fan 35, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air supply duct 33. A heating plate 36 is also fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air supply duct 33. The temperature inside the drying space is increased by blowing heat.

[0049] The heating plate 36 is preheated to the required temperature, and then the fan 35 is turned on. The heat emitted by the heating plate 36 is blown into the interior of the rotating drum 26 by the fan 35, which increases the internal temperature and improves the drying efficiency and effect to meet people's needs.

[0050] Going a step further:

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the bearing assembly includes a carrier plate 41, which is fixedly installed at one end of the base 1. Springs 42 and telescopic rods 43 are fixedly installed around the top of the carrier plate 41. The springs 42 are located on the outside of the telescopic rods 43 and play the role of elastic support. The external elastic component is equipped with a vertical support component to ensure its vertical vibration operation.

[0052] The vibration assembly includes a connecting frame 44, which is fixedly installed on the top of the spring 42 and the telescopic rod 43. A sorting screen 45 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the connecting frame 44. A vibration motor 46 is bolted to one end of the connecting frame 44, which can complete the screening operation through vibration.

[0053] When the dried tea residue particles fall onto the sorting screen 45, the vibration motor 46 is turned on simultaneously, causing the connecting frame 44 and the sorting screen 45 to vibrate. Based on the elasticity of the spring 42, the vertical reciprocating motion during vibration is ensured, which facilitates sieving. Furthermore, the amplitude of the elastic extension and contraction of the spring 42 is small, and the reciprocating vibration is carried out within a small vertical distance, without large-amplitude extension and contraction.

[0054] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
