Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steviol glycoside production and processing technology, and in particular to a steviol glycoside drying mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Steviosides are glycosides extracted from the leaves of stevia. To ensure the purity of the glycosides, the concentrated steviosides need to be dried before physical extraction. This ensures the quality of the glycoside extraction and facilitates pharmaceutical manufacturing.

[0003] In existing technology patent CN217686276U, a drying device for steviol glycosides is disclosed. By setting up a controller, the controller can activate a cyclic detection mechanism to detect the dried material, ensuring the quality of each batch of drying. This solves the problem that the lack of cyclic detection function for drying quality makes it impossible to ensure that the quality of each batch of drying meets the standard, thus affecting the drying quality of the drying device. It achieves the effect of automatic cyclic detection of drying quality. By setting up a cyclic detection mechanism, the user can easily activate the electric telescopic rod through the controller, so that the electric telescopic rod continuously extends and retracts. Then, the output end of the electric telescopic rod drives the detection plate to move cyclically, and the detection plate drives the drying sensor to cyclically detect the dried material, ensuring the quality of each batch of drying.

[0004] However, in the aforementioned prior art patents, the feed pipe on the drying device is not sealed, which can easily cause broken materials to splash or dust to enter, making it very inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steviol glycoside drying mechanism, which aims to solve the technical problem that the feed pipe of the existing drying device is not sealed, which easily leads to the splashing of broken materials or the entry of dust, making it very inconvenient to use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs a steviol glycoside drying mechanism, comprising a drying equipment body, a feed pipe, a guide plate, a mounting plate, a controller, an alarm, a detection component, and two sets of sealing components. The feed pipe is connected to the drying equipment body and located above it. The guide plate is connected to the drying equipment body. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the drying equipment body and located above it. The controller and the alarm are fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. The detection component is connected to the drying equipment body and located below it. The two sets of sealing components are movably disposed within the feed pipe.

[0007] The sealing assembly includes a sealing plate, a torsion spring, a limiting block, a pull rod, a limiting spring, and a limiting member. The sealing plate is rotatably connected to the feed pipe and located inside the feed pipe. The two ends of the torsion spring are respectively connected to the feed pipe and the sealing plate. The feed pipe has a groove. The limiting block is movably disposed in the groove. The pull rod is fixedly connected to the limiting block and movably passes through the groove. The two ends of the limiting spring are respectively fixedly connected to the feed pipe and the limiting block and are located inside the groove. The limiting member is disposed on the outer wall of the feed pipe and connected to the pull rod.

[0008] The limiting component includes a rotating frame, a first magnetic block, and a second magnetic block. The rotating frame is rotatably connected to the drying equipment body and is located on the outer side wall of the drying equipment body. The first magnetic block is fixedly connected to the rotating frame and is located on the inner side wall of the rotating frame. The second magnetic block is fixedly connected to the pull rod and is located on the outer side wall of the pull rod. The first magnetic block and the second magnetic block are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0009] The limiting member includes a force-applying rod, which is fixedly connected to the rotating frame and located on the outer side wall of the rotating frame.

[0010] The sealing assembly further includes a return spring, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the feed pipe and the sealing plate, respectively, and are located inside the feed pipe.

[0011] The detection assembly includes a fixed plate, an electric telescopic rod, a detection plate, and a drying sensor. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the drying equipment body and is located on the outer side wall of the drying equipment body. The electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the fixed plate. The detection plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod. The drying sensor is fixedly connected to the detection plate and is located on the outer side wall of the detection plate.

[0012] This utility model discloses a steviol glycoside drying mechanism. In use, material is fed into the feed pipe, the limiting member is moved, and the pull rod is pulled outwards. The pull rod causes the limiting block to enter the groove, compressing the limiting spring. The sealing plate is released from its restraint. Under gravity, the sealing plate rotates within the feed pipe, opening the feed pipe and allowing the material to fall into the drying equipment for drying. After material feeding is complete, the spring force of the torsion spring causes the sealing plate to rotate and reset within the feed pipe, closing it. After drying, the material is removed via the guide plate. Upon removal, the controller is activated, initiating the detection component to inspect the dried material, ensuring the quality of each batch. This solves the problem of lacking a function for cyclically detecting drying quality. Through this method, the feed pipe automatically closes after material feeding, preventing broken material from splashing and dust from entering. It is convenient to use and beneficial for drying steviol glycosides. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a steviol glycoside drying mechanism, including a drying equipment body 101, a feed pipe 102, a guide plate 103, a mounting plate 104, a controller 105, an alarm 106, a detection component, and two sets of sealing components. The feed pipe 102 is connected to the drying equipment body 101 and is located above the drying equipment body 101. The guide plate 103 is connected to the drying equipment body 101. The mounting plate 104 is fixedly connected to the drying equipment body 101 and is located above the guide plate 103. The controller 105 and the alarm 106 are fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 104. The detection component is connected to the drying equipment body 101 and is located below the guide plate 103. The two sets of sealing components are movably disposed inside the feed pipe 102.

[0022] The sealing assembly includes a sealing plate 107, a torsion spring 108, a limiting block 109, a pull rod 110, a limiting spring 111, and a limiting member. The sealing plate 107 is rotatably connected to the feed pipe 102 and is located inside the feed pipe 102. The two ends of the torsion spring 108 are respectively connected to the feed pipe 102 and the sealing plate 107. The feed pipe 102 has a groove 112. The limiting block 109 is movably disposed in the groove 112. The pull rod 110 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 109 and movably passes through the groove 112. The two ends of the limiting spring 111 are respectively fixedly connected to the feed pipe 102 and the limiting block 109 and are located inside the groove 112. The limiting member is disposed on the outer wall of the feed pipe 102 and connected to the pull rod 110.

[0023] In this embodiment, during use, material is fed into the feed pipe 102, the limiting member is moved, and the pull rod 110 is pulled outward. The pull rod 110 drives the limiting block 109 into the groove 112, compressing the limiting spring 111. The closing plate 107 is released from its restraint. Under gravity, the closing plate 107 rotates in the feed pipe 102 under pressure. Subsequently, the feed pipe 102 opens, and the material falls into the drying equipment body 101 for drying. After the material is fed in, the elastic force of the torsion spring 108 will drive... The sealing plate 107 rotates and resets within the feed pipe 102, thus sealing the feed pipe 102. After the material is dried, it is taken out through the guide plate 103. When it is taken out, the controller 105 is activated, and the controller 105 activates the detection component to detect the dried material, ensuring the quality of each batch of drying. This solves the problem of not having the function of cyclically detecting the drying quality. Through the above method, the feed pipe 102 is automatically sealed after the material is fed in, which can prevent broken material from splashing and dust from entering. It is convenient to use and beneficial for drying steviol glycosides.

[0024] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a rotating frame 113, a first magnetic block 114, and a second magnetic block 115. The rotating frame 113 is rotatably connected to the drying equipment body 101 and is located on the outer side wall of the drying equipment body 101. The first magnetic block 114 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 113 and is located on the inner side wall of the rotating frame 113. The second magnetic block 115 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 110 and is located on the outer side wall of the pull rod 110. The first magnetic block 114 and the second magnetic block 115 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0025] In this embodiment, when feeding material into the feed pipe 102, the rotating frame 113 is first rotated on the outside of the feed pipe 102, so that the first magnetic block 114 on the rotating frame 113 corresponds to the second magnetic block 115 on the pull rod 110. Then, the pull rod 110 is pulled to move towards the rotating frame 113, and the first magnetic block 114 and the second magnetic block 115 are magnetically connected. The limiting block 109 moves from below the sealing plate 107 into the groove 112, and the sealing plate 107 is released from restriction. Then, material is fed into the feed pipe 102. When restricting the sealing plate 107, the rotating frame 113 is rotated 90 degrees to separate the first magnetic block 114 and the second magnetic block 115. Under the action of the elastic force of the limiting spring 111, the limiting block 109 is pushed to the bottom of the sealing plate 107.

[0026] Furthermore, the limiting member includes a force-applying rod 116, which is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 113 and located on the outer side wall of the rotating frame 113.

[0027] In this embodiment, by providing the force-applying rod 116 on the outside of the rotating frame 113, the rotating frame 113 can be easily rotated using the force-applying rod 116, making the operation simple.

[0028] Furthermore, the sealing assembly also includes a return spring 117, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the feed pipe 102 and the sealing plate 107 respectively, and are located inside the feed pipe 102.

[0029] In this embodiment, by providing the reset spring 117, after the material is fed into the feed pipe 102, the reset spring 117, in conjunction with the torsion spring 108, can quickly reset the closing plate 107, making it convenient to use.

[0030] Furthermore, the detection assembly includes a fixing plate 118, an electric telescopic rod 119, a detection plate 120, and a drying sensor 121. The fixing plate 118 is fixedly connected to the drying equipment body 101 and is located on the outer side wall of the drying equipment body 101. The electric telescopic rod 119 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 118. The detection plate 120 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 119. The drying sensor 121 is fixedly connected to the detection plate 120 and is located on the outer side wall of the detection plate 120.

[0031] In this embodiment, the material is fed into the drying equipment body 101 through the feed pipe 102 for drying. After drying, it is taken out through the guide plate 103. When it is taken out again, the controller 105 activates the electric telescopic rod 119, causing the electric telescopic rod 119 to continuously extend and retract. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 119 drives the detection plate 120 to move cyclically. The detection plate 120 then drives the drying sensor 121 to cyclically detect the dried material. When the drying sensor 121 detects that the material is below the drying standard, it transmits the detection result to the controller 105, which then activates the alarm 106 to sound an alarm. This informs the user that the drying quality of this batch is substandard, allowing the user to repeat the drying process. This ensures the quality of each batch of drying. The above is existing technology and will not be elaborated further here.

[0032] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model are still within the scope of the utility model.
