Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of saffron calcination and quenching technology, specifically to a saffron spice calcination and quenching device. Background Technology
[0002] Saffron is a traditional Chinese medicine. It consists of the upper part of the style and the stigma of the saffron flower, belonging to the Iridaceae family. The flowers are harvested on sunny mornings in September and October, the stigmas are removed, and then dried to obtain dried saffron. Further processing to make it oily and glossy results in fresh saffron.
[0003] In the existing technology, the saffron spice becomes increasingly brittle during the calcination process. Furthermore, because a large amount of saffron is processed at once, it is easy for the saffron spice to fall into fragments at the bottom of the quenching device after being removed from the calcination device. This not only makes it difficult for workers to handle the spice fragments, but also results in a certain amount of waste of the calcined saffron spice. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a saffron saffron calcination and quenching device. This device solves the technical problem that after saffron saffron is removed from the calcination and quenching device, it is easy for the saffron saffron itself to fall into fragments at the bottom of the quenching device. This not only makes it difficult for workers to handle the saffron fragments, but also causes a certain amount of waste of the saffron saffron after calcination and quenching.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A saffron spice calcination and quenching device includes a square calcination and quenching box. A first motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the calcination and quenching box. The output end of the first motor passes horizontally through the side wall of the calcination and quenching box and is fixedly mounted on a first rotating shaft, which is horizontally inserted inside the calcination and quenching box. A partition plate is fixedly mounted on the first rotating shaft, and the side walls of the partition plate are all arc-shaped. The internal space of the calcination and quenching box is divided into an upper cavity and a lower cavity by the partition plate. Several heating rods are fixedly mounted on the inner side wall of the upper cavity of the calcination and quenching box. A second motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the calcination and quenching box. The output end of the second motor is vertically downward and is fixedly mounted on a second rotating shaft. The second rotating shaft vertically passes through the top wall of the calcination and quenching box and extends into the upper cavity. A horizontal storage tray is fixedly mounted on the end of the second rotating shaft away from the second motor. The storage tray is used to place saffron spice and is disc-shaped. A filter assembly for filtering coolant is provided in the lower cavity. A spray assembly for spraying coolant is provided between the filter assembly and the partition plate.
[0007] Working principle:
[0008] When saffron spice needs to be extracted after calcination, the operator first places the saffron spice on a tray. When one side of the tray is full, the operator starts the second motor, which drives the second shaft to rotate, which in turn rotates the tray. The operator continues to place saffron spice on the tray until it is evenly distributed. Then, the operator activates several heating rods to raise the temperature. Once the saffron spice on the tray is heated, the operator... An external airflow blows the heated saffron spices from the tray onto a partition plate. Then, the operator starts the first motor, which drives the first shaft to rotate. The first shaft then rotates the partition plate, causing the heated saffron spices to fall onto the filter assembly. Next, the operator starts the spray assembly, using the cooling liquid sprayed from the spray assembly to quench the heated saffron raw material. After quenching, the operator filters the cooling liquid from the filter assembly and then removes the quenched saffron raw material.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] A second motor drives a second rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives a tray to rotate, filling the tray with saffron raw materials and improving the calcination efficiency of processing saffron raw materials. A first motor drives a first rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives a partition plate to rotate, allowing the heated saffron raw materials to be poured into a filter assembly for cooling and filtration. The filtration process prevents the saffron spice from easily turning into fragmented spice, making it easier for operators to process. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0014] like Figure 1As shown, a saffron spiciness calcination device includes a square calcination box 1. A first motor 2 is fixedly mounted on one side of the calcination box 1. The output end of the first motor 2 passes horizontally through the side wall of the calcination box 1 and is then fixedly mounted on a first rotating shaft 3, which is horizontally inserted inside the calcination box 1. A partition plate 4 is fixedly mounted on the first rotating shaft 3, and the side walls of the partition plate 4 are all arc-shaped. The internal space of the calcination box 1 is divided into an upper cavity 5 and a lower cavity 6 by the partition plate 4. Several heating rods 7 are fixedly mounted on the inner side wall of the upper cavity 5 of the calcination box 1. A second motor 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the quenching chamber 1. The output end of the second motor 8 is vertically downward and a second rotating shaft 9 is fixedly installed thereon. The second rotating shaft 9 vertically passes through the top wall of the quenching chamber 1 and extends into the upper cavity 5. A horizontal storage tray 10 is fixedly installed at the end of the second rotating shaft 9 away from the second motor 8. The storage tray 10 is used to place saffron spices and is disc-shaped. A filter assembly for filtering coolant is provided in the lower cavity 6. The filter assembly includes a filter cylinder 12, a heat insulation sleeve 13, a handle 14, a filter screen 15, two pull rings 16, and two... The slider 17 and the support plate 35 have through holes 11 on one side wall of the lower cavity 6 of the forging and quenching box 1. The two ends of the support plate are fixedly installed between the two inner walls of the lower cavity 6, and the upper surface of the support plate 35 is parallel to the bottom surface of the through hole 11. The filter cylinder 12 is slidably installed on the support plate 35. A groove 18 is provided in the inner wall of each side of the filter cylinder 12. The two sliders 17 are vertically slidably installed in the two grooves 18. The two ends of the filter screen 15 are fixedly connected to the two sliders 17, and the two pull rings 16 are fixedly installed on the filter screen 15. The heat insulation sleeve 13 is fixed. The part installed on the handle 14 and away from the forging and quenching box 1 also includes a cylinder 19, a plate 20 and several blocking blocks 21. The cylinder 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the forging and quenching box 1, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 19 is vertically inserted into the forging and quenching box 1. The plate 20 is horizontally fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the cylinder 19. Several water passage holes 23 adapted to the blocking blocks 21 are opened on the bottom wall of the filter cylinder 12. Several through holes 22 that can communicate with the water passage holes 23 are opened on the support plate 35. Several blocking blocks 21 are fixedly installed on the plate 20, and several blocking blocks 21 correspond to several water passage holes 23.When the plate 20 is raised, each of the blocking blocks 21 is sequentially inserted into the through hole 22 and the water passage hole 23 to prevent coolant from leaking out of the filter cartridge 12. A spray assembly for spraying coolant is provided between the filter assembly and the partition plate 4. The spray assembly includes a storage tank 24, an outlet pipe 25, a valve 26, several spray heads 27, and a pump 34. The storage tank 24 is located on one side of the quenching chamber 1. One end of the outlet pipe 25 is connected to the storage tank 24, and the other end is connected to the quenching chamber 1 and horizontally extends into the lower cavity 6. Several spray heads 27 are fixedly installed on the outlet pipe 25 and face the filter screen 15. The valve 26 is fixedly installed on the outlet pipe 25 and located outside the quenching chamber 1. The pump 34 is fixedly installed on the outlet pipe 25 and located to one side of the valve 26.
[0015] When saffron spice needs to be extracted after calcination, the operator first places the saffron spice on the tray 10. When one side of the tray 10 is full, the operator starts the second motor 8, which drives the second shaft 9 to rotate. The second shaft 9 then drives the tray 10 to rotate. At this time, the operator can continue to place saffron spice on the tray 10 until the tray 10 is evenly covered. Then, the operator starts several heating rods to raise the temperature. When the saffron spice on the tray 10 is heated... When heating is complete, the operator uses an external blower to disperse the heated saffron spice from the tray 10 onto the partition plate 4. Then, the operator starts the first motor 2, which drives the first rotating shaft 3 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 3 then drives the partition plate 4 to rotate. After the partition plate 4 rotates, a certain gap is left between the side wall of the partition plate 4 and the inner wall of the quenching box 1. The gap is large enough for the heated saffron to fall onto the filter cylinder 12. Next, the operator starts the liquid pump 34 and simultaneously opens the valve 26. At this time, the coolant in the liquid outlet pipe 25 is continuously delivered to the liquid outlet. The coolant inside the spray nozzle 27 on pipe 25 is continuously sprayed onto the saffron shavings on filter screen 15. When the cooled saffron shavings are ready to be removed, the operator starts cylinder 19. Cylinder 19 drives plate 20 to rise and fall. Plate 20 drives several blockage blocks 21 to fall until the blockage blocks 21 are completely removed from support plate 35 and filter cylinder 12. At this time, the coolant inside filter cylinder 12 continuously flows from water passage 23 into the lower cavity 6. However, when the saffron is cooled and quenched in filter cylinder 12, the blockage blocks 21 become blocked. The water passage 23 and the through hole 2211 allow the coolant to flow out of the filter cylinder 12 when cooling saffron. The filter screen 15 and the bottom of the filter cylinder 12 have a certain gap to facilitate the coolant to flow out from the water passage 23 on the filter cylinder 12. Finally, the coolant falls into the bottom of the lower cavity 6 and flows out from the liquid outlet 32. Then, the operator holds the heat insulation sleeve 13 and slides the filter cylinder 12 off the support plate 35 until the filter cylinder 12 slides out of the extension platform 33 outside the calcining box 1. Then the operator can take out the saffron raw material after calcination.
[0016] The second motor 8 drives the second rotating shaft 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the tray 10 to rotate, thus filling the tray 10 with saffron raw materials and improving the calcination efficiency of processing saffron raw materials. The first motor 2 drives the first rotating shaft 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the partition plate 4 to rotate, thus pouring the heated saffron raw materials into the filter assembly for cooling and filtration. The filtration by the filter assembly prevents the saffron spice from easily turning into fragmented spice, making it easier for operators to process.
[0017] like Figure 1As shown, it also includes a feed pipe 28 and a heat insulation plate 29. The feed pipe 28 passes through the top of the quenching box 1, and the heat insulation plate 29 is hinged to the feed pipe 28. It also includes a fan 30 and an air inlet pipe 31. The air inlet pipe 31 passes vertically through the quenching box 1. The fan 30 is fixedly installed at the top of the quenching box 1, and the air supply end of the fan 30 is connected to the air inlet pipe 31. The air inlet pipe 31 faces the tray 10. A liquid outlet hole 32 is opened on one side of the quenching box 1 near the bottom. The bottom of the quenching box 1 is an inclined surface and is connected to the liquid outlet hole 32. It also includes an extension platform 33. The extension platform 33 is fixedly installed on one side of the quenching box 1 and is flush with the through hole 11.
[0018] The feed pipe 28 allows saffron to enter the tray 10. The high-temperature plate keeps the saffron warm during heating, preventing excessive heat from escaping the calcining chamber 1. The fan 30 and air inlet pipe 31 blow the heated saffron onto the partition plate 4. When the partition plate 4 rotates, the saffron adhering to it is blown into the filter cylinder 12. The coolant is quickly discharged out of the calcining chamber 1 through the liquid outlet 32. The extension platform 33 allows the filter cylinder 12 to be moved to the extension platform 33 for easy operation, and the calcined saffron can then be extracted.
