[0030] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.
[0031] Figure 1 A front view schematic diagram of the elastic scraper assembly applied to the thin film evaporation dryer in the thin film evaporation dryer is shown, Figure 2 A top view schematic diagram of the elastic scraper assembly applied to the thin film evaporation dryer in the thin film evaporation dryer is shown.
[0032] In detail, the elastic scraper assembly 5 applied to the thin film evaporation dryer is connected to the main shaft 1 of the thin film evaporation dryer, the main shaft 1 is driven to rotate in the cylinder 4 by the motor 3 installed on the rack 2, the elastic scraper assembly 5 applied to the thin film evaporation dryer includes: a connecting plate 51 and a thin spring sheet 52, the first end of the connecting plate 51 is connected with the main shaft 1, the first end of the thin spring sheet 52 is rotationally connected with the second end of the connecting plate 51, and the second end of the thin spring sheet 52 is used to scrape off the material adhered to the inner wall of the cylinder 4, wherein the second end of the connecting plate 51 is further provided with a limiting assembly 53 for limiting the circumferential direction of the thin spring sheet 52.
[0033] In the embodiment of the application, the thickness of the thin spring sheet 52 is less than or equal to 1mm, and the thin spring sheet 52 is made of stainless steel. This not only ensures its sufficient flexibility to meet the needs of different working conditions, but also provides the necessary strength and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term stable operation.
[0034] In the embodiment of the application, the elastic scraper assembly 5 applied to the thin film evaporation dryer is at least two and is uniformly spaced along the axial direction of the main shaft 1. Alternatively, in order to further improve the efficiency and adapt to different processing capacity requirements, the number of the elastic scraper assembly 5 applied to the thin film evaporation dryer can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual working condition, so as to ensure that the best operating state can be maintained during the entire evaporation process, improve the production efficiency and reduce the maintenance cost.
[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the design of the elastic scraper assembly 5 applied to the thin film evaporation dryer aims to ensure that the material forms a uniform thin layer on the inner wall of the cylinder 4 of the thin film evaporation dryer, and effectively removes the material scale layer that may be adhered to the inner wall of the cylinder to maintain efficient heat transfer and product quality. In addition, the limiting assembly 53 arranged at the second end of the connecting plate 51 is used to limit the circumferential movement range of the thin spring sheet 52 to prevent it from being excessively bent or deviating from the predetermined position, thereby ensuring the consistency and reliability of the scraper operation.
[0036] Further, Figure 3 The structure diagram of the thin spring sheet of the elastic scraper assembly applied to the thin film evaporation dryer is shown, the second end of the connecting plate 51 has a shaft hole 511, a rotating shaft 512 is arranged in the shaft hole 511, and the upper and lower ends of the thin spring sheet 52 are rotationally connected with the rotating shaft 512 through rotating shaft sleeves 521. The limiting assembly 53 includes first limiting blocks 531 and second limiting blocks 532 located on both sides of the thin spring sheet 52. When the thin spring sheet 52 is radially coincident with the cylinder 4, the first limiting blocks 531 are in contact with the thin spring sheet 52, and the second limiting blocks 532 have a spacing from the thin spring sheet 52.
[0037] Next, the working principle of the elastic scraper assembly applied to the thin film evaporation dryer in the embodiment of the present application is described.
[0038] After the motor 3 is started, the main shaft 1 is rotated, and the elastic scraper assembly 5 applied to the thin film evaporation dryer is rotated in the cylinder 4 of the thin film evaporation dryer;
[0039] When no material is introduced into the cylinder 4, the thin spring sheet 52 is radially coincident with the cylinder 4, the first limiting blocks 531 are in contact with the thin spring sheet 52, and the second limiting blocks 532 have a spacing from the thin spring sheet 52, please refer to Figure 2 At this time, the gap between the thin spring sheet 52 and the inner wall of the cylinder 4 is designed as A close to 0;
[0040] As the material enters the cylinder 4, when the material resistance is small, the thin spring sheet 52 can form a film by relying on its own centrifugal force;
[0041] When the material resistance increases or the scale layer is formed, the thin spring sheet 52 is pushed to rotate back, and the thin spring sheet 52 cannot continue to rotate back when it meets the second limiting block 532, please refer to Figure 4 This state is the normal working state of the scheme, and the gap B is designed to be less than 2 mm, and at this time, the running state is similar to that of the fixed scraper, but is more flexible than the fixed scraper, which can work in a gap range of 0 to 2 mm;
[0042] When the material resistance continues to increase or the scale layer continues to thicken, please refer to Figure 5When the thin spring sheet 52 is bent too much, the material evaporation effect will eventually decrease, at which time the thin spring sheet 52 needs to be replaced. This process is smooth and does not cause violent vibration and sudden stoppage, so this structure has strong applicability, good applicability in variable working conditions, simple and convenient maintenance, safe use, and less sudden accidents.
[0043] When the thin spring sheet 52 is bent too much, the material evaporation effect will eventually decrease, at which time the thin spring sheet 52 needs to be replaced.

[0044] In summary, the technical solution can maintain good performance even when the material viscosity and scale thickness vary greatly. The design of the scraper assembly takes into account the application requirements in various working conditions, effectively addressing the challenges posed by changes in material properties, and greatly simplifying the design and manufacturing process of the evaporator. Compared to the traditional method of configuring different types of scrapers for different positions, this innovative solution only requires a single type of scraper assembly to meet a wide range of working condition requirements. This not only reduces the difficulty of design and production, but also reduces the additional costs associated with replacing different specifications of scrapers, including spare parts inventory management and equipment maintenance costs. In addition, reducing the number and types of components also helps to improve system stability and reliability, providing users with a more economical and efficient option.
