Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of borneol production technology, specifically to an integrated drying and pulverizing equipment for borneol production. Background Technology

[0002] Borneol, also known as camphor or borneol, is obtained by steam distillation and recrystallization of the stems and leaves of *Asteraceae* or *Camellia sinensis*, a plant in the Lauraceae family. It can also be produced from turpentine oil through a series of chemical processes. It has the effects of opening the orifices and refreshing the mind, clearing heat and relieving pain, and is widely used in the medical field, such as treating symptoms like delirium, red and swollen eyes, and sore throat and mouth ulcers.

[0003] Currently, the most common drying methods used in borneol production are heating plates and fans. However, traditional borneol pulverizing equipment usually has a simple structure and the pulverizing effect is not ideal, making it difficult to pulverize borneol to the required fineness.

[0004] In the production of borneol, drying and pulverization are two crucial steps, but currently these two steps are usually carried out separately, requiring different equipment. This not only increases production costs and floor space requirements but also easily leads to loss and contamination during material transfer, affecting product quality. Therefore, there is an urgent need for equipment that integrates drying and pulverization functions to improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and ensure product quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an integrated drying and pulverizing equipment for borneol production.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated drying and pulverizing equipment for borneol production, comprising a drying chamber, a conveying mechanism fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the drying chamber, a feeding hopper fixedly connected to the inside of the drying chamber, a fan fixedly installed inside the drying chamber, a heating plate fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the drying chamber, a discharge inclined plate fixedly connected to the inside of the drying chamber, a crushing chamber arranged below the discharge inclined plate, a crushing mechanism fixedly installed inside the crushing chamber, a pulverizing mechanism arranged below the crushing chamber, the pulverizing mechanism including a pulverizing cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the crushing chamber, and a motor fixedly installed on the top of the pulverizing cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inside of the crushing cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, a set of crushing blades is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft for secondary crushing of the ice flakes.

[0009] Furthermore, a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom outer surface of the crushing cylinder, and an electric valve is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the discharge pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, four second support rods are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drying oven, and a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the four second support rods. Four support feet are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base plate.

[0011] Furthermore, four first support rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the crushing cylinder, and the ends of the four first support rods away from the crushing cylinder are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this integrated drying and pulverizing equipment for borneol production has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This utility model significantly improves the efficiency of borneol production by integrating drying and pulverizing functions into one unit. In the traditional borneol production process, drying and pulverizing usually need to be carried out separately, which not only requires additional equipment and space, but also easily causes loss and contamination during material transfer. However, in the equipment of this utility model, after the borneol is dried in the drying chamber, it slides directly to the crushing chamber for preliminary crushing through the discharge inclined plate, and then enters the pulverizing mechanism for secondary crushing. The whole process is continuous and compact, reducing the steps and time of material transfer, thereby effectively reducing production costs and ensuring the stability of product quality.

[0014] 2. This utility model uses a crushing mechanism that drives a motor to rotate a shaft and crushing blade at high speed to finely crush borneol particles. This design not only improves the crushing effect and enables the borneol to reach the required fineness, but also ensures the quality of the product. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0020] The drying and pulverizing integrated equipment provided in this embodiment is used for drying and pulverizing camphor raw materials in camphor production. By setting up a drying chamber 1, a conveying mechanism 2, a fan 4, a heating plate 5, a crushing mechanism 8, and a pulverizing mechanism 9, the drying and pulverizing functions can be integrated, improving production efficiency, reducing production costs, and ensuring product quality.

[0021] See Figures 1-3 A drying and pulverizing integrated equipment for borneol production includes a drying chamber 1, a conveying mechanism 2 fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the drying chamber 1, a feeding hopper 3 fixedly connected inside the drying chamber 1, a fan 4 fixedly installed inside the drying chamber 1, a heating plate 5 fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the drying chamber 1, a discharge inclined plate 6 fixedly connected inside the drying chamber 1, a crushing chamber 7 arranged below the discharge inclined plate 6, a crushing mechanism 8 fixedly installed inside the crushing chamber 7, and a pulverizing mechanism 9 arranged below the crushing chamber 7. The pulverizing mechanism 9 includes a pulverizing cylinder 901 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the crushing chamber 7, and a motor 902 fixedly installed on the top of the pulverizing cylinder 901.

[0022] The feeding hopper 3 extends through the top of the drying chamber 1, and its bottom is at the same height as the conveying mechanism 2.

[0023] In some practical applications, the conveying mechanism 2 is driven by a motor to rotate the active roller, which in turn drives the driven roller to rotate synchronously via a belt. This ensures that the conveyor belt, which is fitted onto the active and driven rollers, operates continuously, transporting the borneol raw material uniformly within the drying chamber 1 and ensuring that the raw material is heated evenly during the drying stage. The crushing mechanism 8 adopts the principle of a roller crusher. The surfaces of the two counter-rotating crushing rollers are equipped with toothed grooves, which apply compression and shearing forces to the incoming borneol raw material, crushing larger pieces of borneol into smaller particles, preparing for subsequent pulverization.

[0024] A rotating shaft 903 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 902, and the rotating shaft 903 is rotatably connected to the inside of the crushing cylinder 901.

[0025] A set of crushing blades 904 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 903 for secondary crushing of ice flakes.

[0026] The bottom outer surface of the crushing cylinder 901 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 905, and the outer surface of the discharge pipe 905 is fixedly installed with an electric valve 906.

[0027] In some practical applications, the crushing mechanism 9 includes a crushing cylinder 901, a motor 902, a rotating shaft 903, a crushing blade 904, a discharge pipe 905, and an electric valve 906. The motor 902 drives the rotating shaft 903, which in turn drives the crushing blade 904 to rotate at high speed inside the crushing cylinder 901, thereby performing secondary crushing on the incoming camphor particles. The crushed camphor powder is then discharged through the discharge pipe 905 and the electric valve 906.

[0028] The bottom surface of the drying oven 1 is fixedly connected to four second support rods 12, the bottom ends of the four second support rods 12 are fixedly connected to a base plate 11, and the bottom surface of the base plate 11 is fixedly connected to four support feet 13.

[0029] Four first support rods 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the crushing cylinder 901, and the ends of the four first support rods 10 away from the crushing cylinder 901 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 11.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] 1. Feeding stage: The raw borneol to be processed is conveyed to the conveying mechanism 2 inside the drying chamber 1 through the feeding hopper 3. Since the feeding hopper 3 runs through the top of the drying chamber 1 and its bottom is at the same height as the conveying mechanism 2, it can ensure that the raw material falls smoothly and stably onto the conveying mechanism 2, which is convenient for subsequent drying processing.

[0032] 2. Drying Stage: The blower 4 and heating plate 5 are started. The blower 4 blows air onto the heating plate 5, and the heat generated by the heating plate 5 is carried by the air blown out by the blower 4, forming a hot airflow inside the drying chamber 1. This hot airflow dries the borneol raw material on the conveyor mechanism 2. The conveyor mechanism 2 is driven by a motor-driven drive roller, which in turn drives the driven roller to rotate synchronously via a belt. This ensures that the conveyor belt, fitted onto the drive and driven rollers, rotates continuously, allowing the borneol raw material to move at a uniform speed within the drying chamber 1. This ensures that all parts of the raw material are fully in contact with the hot airflow, achieving uniform drying.

[0033] 3. Preliminary Crushing Stage: The dried camphor raw material moves to the discharge inclined plate 6 via the conveyor mechanism 2 and slides down into the crushing box 7 below. The crushing mechanism 8 adopts the principle of a double-roll crusher. The surfaces of the two opposing crushing rollers are equipped with toothed grooves. When the camphor raw material enters between the two rollers, it is subjected to compression and shearing forces, and larger pieces of camphor are crushed into smaller particles, preparing for the subsequent pulverization process.

[0034] 4. Secondary crushing stage: The initially crushed camphor particles enter the crushing cylinder 901 from the bottom of the crushing chamber 7. The motor 902 is started, and the output end of the motor 902 drives the rotating shaft 903 to rotate inside the crushing cylinder 901. A set of crushing blades 904 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 903 rotates at high speed together with the rotating shaft 903, and performs secondary crushing on the camphor particles entering the crushing cylinder 901 to achieve the required fineness.

[0035] 5. Discharge Stage: After pulverization, the camphor powder is discharged through the discharge pipe 905, which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bottom of the pulverizing cylinder 901. When discharge is required, the electric valve 906 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the discharge pipe 905 is opened, and the camphor powder can flow out and be collected from the discharge pipe 905; when discharge is not required, the electric valve 906 is closed to prevent camphor powder leakage. The bottom of the entire equipment is kept stable by four second support rods 12 and a base plate 11 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drying chamber 1, as well as four support feet 13 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 11. At the same time, the pulverizing cylinder 901 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 11 by four first support rods 10 fixedly connected to its bottom, further ensuring the stability of the equipment during operation.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
