[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model uses a cleaning mechanism to drive a motor to rotate, which in turn drives a first scraper to rotate. The first scraper then scrapes off the raw material adhering to the inner wall of the evaporator body. The sliding sleeve and the first spring work together on the surface of the fixed rod. When the first scraper and the limiting block wear down after prolonged use, the first spring rebounds and extends, causing the sliding sleeve to move outward along the fixed rod. This allows the first and second scrapers to come into contact with the inner wall and bottom of the evaporator body, thereby cleaning the evaporator body and improving the cleanliness of the device.

The partition guides the raw materials, allowing them to be evenly distributed through the distribution plate. The second connecting plate and scraper connected to the bottom of the first connecting plate move on the partition to prevent material accumulation. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the fixed column, the movable column, and the second spring, the second connecting plate and scraper are brought into contact with the surface of the partition by the rebound action of the second spring, improving the scraping effect and increasing the processing efficiency of the device.

Detailed implementation method:

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a thin film evaporator with a scraper structure, including an evaporator body 1, a discharge port 3 fixedly connected to the lower end of the evaporator body 1, a storage cavity 4 fixedly connected to the upper end of the evaporator body 1, a feed pipe 7 fixedly connected to the right side of the upper surface of the storage cavity 4, a protective cover 8 fixedly installed at the center of the upper end of the storage cavity 4, and a drive motor 9 fixedly installed inside the protective cover 8.

[0025] A cleaning mechanism is provided at the lower end of the drive motor 9, and an anti-blocking mechanism is provided at the upper end of the cleaning mechanism.

[0026] This device, by incorporating a cleaning mechanism, solves the problem that after long-term use, the scraper will wear down, causing it to lose effective contact with the inner wall and resulting in unsatisfactory scraping results.

[0027] Furthermore, a partition 10 is fixedly installed inside the storage cavity 4, and a distribution plate 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the partition 10. A rotating shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the drive motor 9, and the rotating shaft 12 passes through the partition 10 and the distribution plate 11 in sequence. Figure 2 As shown, this structure is used to guide the raw materials through the partition 10 and the distribution plate 11, so that the raw materials are evenly dispersed through the distribution plate 11, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the device.

[0028] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism includes fixed rods 13, sliding sleeves 14, first springs 15, connecting rods 16, fixed frames 18, and first scrapers 19. Nine sets of fixed rods 13 are equidistantly fixed to the surface of the rotating shaft 12, with three sets of fixed rods 13 forming a group. Sliding sleeves 14 are movably connected to the surface of each fixed rod 13. First springs 15 are provided on the surface of each fixed rod 13, with both ends of the first springs abutting against the fixed rods 13 and sliding sleeves 14. Connecting rods 16 are hinged to the upper and lower sides of the sliding sleeves 14, and connecting blocks 17 are movably connected to the outer sides of the connecting rods 16. Fixed frames 18 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of five sets of connecting blocks 17, and the first scrapers 19 are fixedly connected inside the fixed frames 18. Figure 3 As shown, this structure is used to drive the first scraper 19 to rotate by rotating the shaft 12 via the drive motor 9. The first scraper 19 rotates to scrape off the raw material adhering to the inner wall of the evaporator body 1. The sliding sleeve 14 and the first spring 15 cooperate on the surface of the fixed rod 13. When the first scraper 19 is worn after long-term use, the first spring 15 rebounds and extends, causing the sliding sleeve 14 to move outward along the fixed rod 13, thereby making the first scraper 19 fit against the inner wall of the evaporator body 1, thus cleaning the evaporator body 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the anti-clogging mechanism includes a first connecting plate 22, a fixed column 23, a movable column 24, and a second connecting plate 26. Two sets of first connecting plates 22 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 12. A fixed column 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first connecting plate 22. A movable column 24 is provided at the lower end of the fixed column 23. The lower end of the movable column 24 is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate 26. Figure 4 As shown, this structure is used to allow the second connecting plate 26 and scraper 27, which are connected to the bottom end of the first connecting plate 22, to move on the partition 10, so as to avoid material accumulation.

[0030] Furthermore, a limiting block 20 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixing rod 13, which limits the range of motion of the sliding sleeve 14 and the first spring 15. A connecting block 17 is movably connected to the lower end of the sixth connecting rod 16, and a second scraper 21 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting block 17. The inclination angle of the second scraper 21 is consistent with the bottom of the evaporator body 1. Figure 3 As shown, this structure is used to extend the sliding sleeve 14 outward along the fixed rod 13 by the rebound of the first spring 15, thereby causing the second scraper 21 to fit against the bottom of the evaporator body 1, thus cleaning the evaporator body 1 and improving the cleanliness of the device.

[0031] Furthermore, the surface of the partition 10 is provided with holes, and two sets of first connecting plates 22 are symmetrically installed on the surface of the rotating shaft 12. A movable column 24 is movably connected inside the fixed column 23, and a second spring 25 is provided inside the fixed column 23. One end of the second spring 25 abuts against the inner wall of the fixed column 23, and the other end of the second spring 25 abuts against the movable column 24. A scraper 27 is fixedly connected to the front end of the second connecting plate 26. The scraper 27 is a right-angled triangle. Figure 4 As shown, this structure is used to bring the second connecting plate 26 and scraper 27 into contact with the surface of the partition plate 10 through the rebound action of the second spring 25, thereby improving the scraping effect and increasing the processing efficiency of the device.

[0032] Furthermore, three sets of support bases 2 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the evaporator body 1, a steam inlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of the storage cavity 4, the steam inlet pipe 5 is connected to the inside of the storage cavity 4, and a steam outlet pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the storage cavity 4, the steam outlet pipe 6 is connected to the inside of the storage cavity 4. Figure 2 As shown, this structure is used to allow the vaporous substances generated during the evaporation process to move upward within the evaporator body 1 and be discharged from the steam outlet pipe 6.

[0033] Working principle: When using, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material enters the storage chamber 4 through the feed pipe 7, and the drive motor 9 is started, as... Figure 2As shown, the output shaft of the drive motor 9 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, the rotating shaft 12 drives the first connecting plate 22 to rotate, the first connecting plate 22 drives multiple fixed columns 23, the second connecting plate 26, and the scraper 27 to rotate. Through the rebound action of the second spring 25, the second connecting plate 26 and the scraper 27 are brought into contact with the surface of the partition 10, improving the scraping effect and preventing the accumulation of material on the partition 10. The material is filtered and conveyed downward from the partition 10 into the distribution plate 11, where it is evenly distributed. Figure 3 As shown, the rotation of the rotating shaft 12 simultaneously drives the first scraper 19 on the fixed rod 13 to rotate, thereby scraping off the raw material adhering to the inner wall of the evaporator body 1. The sliding sleeve 14 and the first spring 15 cooperate on the surface of the fixed rod 13. When the first scraper 19 and the limiting block 20 experience wear after prolonged use, the spring 15 extends, causing the sliding sleeve 14 to move outward along the fixed rod 13. This allows the first scraper 19 and the second scraper 21 to adhere to the inner wall and bottom of the evaporator body 1, thus cleaning the evaporator body 1 and improving the cleanliness of the device. Figure 2 As shown, the dried material is discharged from the discharge port 3 at the bottom of the evaporator body 1. The vapor phase substance generated during the evaporation process moves upward in the evaporator body 1 and is discharged from the steam outlet pipe 6. The above is the complete working principle of this utility model.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
