Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of spirulina processing equipment, and in particular to an integrated equipment for drying, mixing and sterilizing spirulina in a production line. Background Technology

[0002] Drying, sterilization, and mixing are key steps in the processing of spirulina. Drying removes moisture from spirulina to preserve it for a long time and prevent spoilage. Sterilization eliminates any microorganisms that may be present in spirulina, including bacteria and mold. Mixing involves uniformly mixing the dried and sterilized spirulina powder with other ingredients to meet specific application requirements.

[0003] When drying spirulina, traditional drying equipment suffers from insufficient dehydration efficiency due to factors such as the inefficient contact between hot air and spirulina. This limits the ability to further improve the dehydration rate. Increasing the drying time is a common method to improve the dehydration rate. However, while extending the drying time allows more time for the water in the spirulina to evaporate, thus improving the dehydration rate, excessively long drying times may also lead to the loss of nutrients in the spirulina. In addition, in existing traditional spirulina processing, drying, mixing, and sterilization are often relatively independent processes, resulting in low production efficiency, poor product quality stability, and difficulty in ensuring that the products are of acceptable quality throughout the entire process from harvesting to packaging. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated equipment for drying, mixing, and sterilizing spirulina in a production line, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A spirulina production line integrating drying, mixing, and sterilization includes a drying drum. Multiple first supports are fixedly installed on the outside of the drying drum. A sterilizer is fixedly connected between the multiple first supports located below the drying drum. A mixer is fixedly installed between the multiple first supports located below the sterilizer. A hot air blower is fixedly installed on the outside of the drying drum. A motor is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the drying drum. The hot air blower and the motor are electrically connected to an external main controller via connecting wires. An exhaust pipe and a feed hopper are fixedly installed on the drying drum near the motor. A base is fixedly installed on the motor. A first cylinder is fixedly installed on the base. A rotating shaft is movably installed inside the output end of the motor. A base plate is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft. A filter cartridge is movably installed inside the drying drum.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the output end of the lower end of the drying drum is fixedly connected to the input end of the upper end of the sterilizer, and the output end of the lower end of the sterilizer is fixedly connected to the input end of the upper end of the mixer. A sterilizer is provided below the drying drum, and a mixer is provided below the sterilizer. This allows the spirulina to be mixed with other components after drying and sterilized, thereby improving the processing efficiency of spirulina.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, two limiting rings are fixedly installed inside the drying barrel, and a rotating groove is opened inside the limiting ring. A ring-shaped guide plate is also fixedly installed inside the drying barrel located below the lower limiting ring. A drain pipe is also fixedly installed on the outside of the drying barrel, and the drain pipe is connected to the inner cavity of the drying barrel.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the filter cartridge is a multi-microporous filter plate structure. Two rotating rings are fixedly installed on the outer side of the filter cartridge. The rotating rings are rotatably installed in the rotating grooves on the inner side of the corresponding limiting rings. A second bracket is fixedly installed at the upper inner side of the filter cartridge. Multiple first engaging blocks are fixedly installed at the middle of the lower end of the second bracket, and the multiple first engaging blocks are arranged in a ring shape along the outline of the shaft hole in the middle of the second bracket.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, an installation groove is fixedly installed at the middle of the upper end of the rotating shaft, a fixing ring is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft near the second bracket, a plurality of second engagement blocks are fixedly installed on the fixing ring, a bearing is fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation groove, and the base plate is a conical structure.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a piston rod is movably installed inside the first cylinder. One end of the piston rod is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing. After the piston rod is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing, the lifting and lowering of the rotating shaft can be controlled. This, in conjunction with the interlocking of the first and second biting blocks, can synchronously drive the filter cartridge to rotate, thereby quickly drying the spirulina with the help of a hot air blower, and facilitating the unloading of the dried spirulina.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In this invention, a sterilizer is installed at the bottom of the drying drum, and a mixer is installed at the bottom of the sterilizer. This allows for the integrated drying, sterilization, and mixing of spirulina, improving the processing efficiency of spirulina. Furthermore, a rotating shaft, a bottom plate, and a filter cartridge are installed inside the drying drum. These, combined with a motor, utilize centrifugal force to enhance the dehydration efficiency of the spirulina, and a hot air blower enables rapid drying. Simultaneously, the bottom plate can be opened using a first cylinder, and a scraper can be used to feed the dried spirulina, further improving drying efficiency and reducing nutrient loss.

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1-7As shown, the present invention provides an integrated equipment for drying, mixing, and sterilizing spirulina in a production line, including a drying drum 1. Multiple first supports 2 are fixedly installed on the outside of the drying drum 1. A sterilizer 3 is fixedly connected between the multiple first supports 2 located below the drying drum 1. A mixer 4 is fixedly installed between the multiple first supports 2 located below the sterilizer 3. A hot air blower 5 is fixedly installed on the outside of the drying drum 1. A motor 6 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the drying drum 1. The hot air blower 5 and the motor 6 are electrically connected to an external main controller via connecting wires. An exhaust pipe 7 and a feed hopper 8 are fixedly installed on the drying drum 1 near the motor 6. A base 9 is fixedly installed on the motor 6. A first cylinder 10 is fixedly installed on the base 9. A rotating shaft 11 is movably installed inside the output end of the motor 6. A base plate 12 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 11. A filter cartridge 14 is movably installed inside the drying drum 1.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the output end of the lower end of the drying drum 1 is fixedly connected to the input end of the upper end of the sterilizer 3, and the output end of the lower end of the sterilizer 3 is fixedly connected to the input end of the upper end of the mixer 4. The sterilizer 3 is set below the drying drum 1, and the mixer 4 is set below the sterilizer 3. The spirulina can be mixed with other components after drying and sterilized, thereby improving the processing efficiency of spirulina.

[0025] like Figures 2-7 As shown, two limiting rings 20 are fixedly installed inside the drying drum 1. A rotating groove is formed inside the limiting ring 20. An annular guide plate 15 is also fixedly installed inside the drying drum 1 below the lower limiting ring 20. A drain pipe 16 is fixedly installed on the outside of the drying drum 1 and communicates with the inner cavity of the drying drum 1. The filter cartridge 14 is a multi-microporous filter plate structure. Two rotating rings 21 are fixedly installed on the outside of the filter cartridge 14. The rotating rings 21 are rotatably installed in the rotating grooves inside the corresponding limiting rings 20. A second support 22 is fixedly installed at the upper inner side of the filter cartridge 14. Multiple first engaging blocks 23 are fixedly installed at the lower center of the second support 22, and the multiple first engaging blocks 23 are arranged annularly along the contour of the shaft hole in the middle of the second support 22. A rotating shaft 11... An installation groove 17 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end. A fixing ring 24 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 11 near the second bracket 22. Multiple second interlocking blocks 25 are fixedly installed on the fixing ring 24. A bearing 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation groove 17. The bottom plate 12 has a conical structure. A piston rod 19 is movably installed in the first cylinder 10. One end of the piston rod 19 is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing 18. After the piston rod 19 is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing 18, the lifting and lowering of the rotating shaft 11 can be controlled. This, together with the interlocking of the first interlocking block 23 and the second interlocking block 25, can synchronously drive the filter cartridge 14 to rotate. This can be used in conjunction with the hot air blower 5 to quickly dry the spirulina and at the same time facilitate the feeding of the dried spirulina.

[0026] It should be noted that this utility model is an integrated equipment for drying, mixing, and sterilizing spirulina in a production line. During the drying operation, the spirulina is conveyed into the feed hopper 8 via a conveying mechanism, and then falls into the filter cartridge 14 and is placed on the bottom plate 12. After a single batch of spirulina is fed in, the motor 6 is started. The output of the motor 6 drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating shaft 11 to drive the bottom plate 12 to rotate synchronously. Furthermore, the rotating shaft 11, through the outer fixing ring 24 and the second interlocking block 25, drives the first interlocking block 23 to rotate, thus... Multiple first interlocking blocks 23 drive the second support 22 to rotate. The second support 22 then drives the filter cartridge 14 to rotate, causing the two outer rotating rings 21 of the filter cartridge 14 to rotate rapidly within the corresponding grooves of the limiting rings 20. This allows the spirulina on the bottom plate 12 to be thrown against the inner wall of the filter cartridge 14 by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation. This allows the liquid in the spirulina to be quickly discharged into the drying drum 1 and, with the help of the guide plate 15, discharged through the drain pipe 16. Simultaneously, the hot air blower 5 continuously supplies hot air into the drying drum 1, further heating and evaporating the moisture in the spirulina. The water vapor is discharged through the exhaust pipe 7 and the pipeline. After the spirulina in the filter cartridge 14 is dried, the first cylinder 10 can be started. Then, the base 9 in the first cylinder 10 gradually pushes the bearing 18 down, which in turn causes the bearing 18 to drive the rotating shaft 11 down. As a result, the fixing ring 24 on the outside of the rotating shaft 11 drives multiple second engagement blocks 25 to disengage from the corresponding two first engagement blocks 23. At the same time, the rotating shaft 11 also drives the bottom plate 12 down, so that the lower end of the filter cartridge 14 separates from the bottom plate 12. Simultaneously, the output end of the second cylinder 26 moves down and abuts against the filter cartridge 14, thereby... The filter cartridge 14 is positioned to a limit. Then, the motor 6 is restarted and its speed is reduced, which drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate. The rotating shaft 11 synchronously drives the bottom plate 12 and the scraper 13 to rotate. The side of the scraper 13 away from the rotating shaft 11 continues to scrape the inside of the filter cartridge 14, thereby scraping off the spirulina adhering to the inside of the scraper 13 and letting it fall into the bottom of the drying barrel 1 through the bottom plate 12. This allows the dried spirulina to enter the sterilizer 3 for sterilization. After sterilization by the sterilizer 3, the spirulina enters the mixer 4 to be mixed with other ingredients.
