Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying machinery technology, specifically to a mesh dryer for gelatin strips. Background Technology

[0002] In the gelatin production process, the last step uses a long-net dryer, which is used to dry the concentrated gelatin solution (28% concentration) from the previous step into a solid gelatin with a water content of 9-14%.

[0003] The existing publicly available technology, application number CN202223578891.8, describes a mesh belt circulating dryer, including a drying chamber with four mesh belt conveyors arranged vertically and vertically inside. A hot air blower is installed at the bottom of the drying chamber, and the air outlet of the hot air blower is connected to the bottom of the drying chamber. A feeding device is installed on the side of the drying chamber, and a hopper and an air outlet are installed at the top of the drying chamber. The hopper has an inlet at the top and an outlet at the bottom. The air outlet is connected to the inlet of the hot air blower. The inlet is used to seal with the drying chamber. A first discharge hopper is installed on the outlet. An electric valve is installed at the position where the first discharge hopper contacts the outlet. The first discharge hopper extends into the drying chamber and is positioned above the mesh belt conveyors. The first discharge hopper is sealed to the drying chamber.

[0004] When the aforementioned patent is applied to gelatin strip drying, there are certain drawbacks: the multi-layer mesh belts block the flow from top to bottom, and the gelatin strips require different air permeability in different stages of drying (such as initial drying to final drying). The existing fixed pores cannot adequately meet the needs of different stages. At the same time, the unidirectional flow of hot air can easily cause significant temperature differences between different layers of the mesh belt, resulting in uneven heating of the gelatin strips and affecting the drying effect. Furthermore, gelatin debris can easily clog the mesh, reducing the hot air penetration rate and increasing energy consumption. Overall, the performance is not ideal.

[0005] There are currently no effective solutions to the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a mesh dryer for gelatin strips, which has the advantages of good drying effect, clean and clog-proof mesh belt, and uniform heat adjustment, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0007] To achieve the aforementioned advantages of good drying effect, clean and clog-free conveyor belt, and uniform heat adjustment, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A mesh dryer for gelatin strips includes a dryer and support legs. Several sets of partition plates are evenly and alternately installed inside the dryer. Several sets of support frames are installed above each partition plate. A conveyor belt is installed between the support frames. The surface of the conveyor belt has several sets of mesh belt holes, with the hole size gradually decreasing. An air outlet box is installed on one side of the conveyor belt on the inner surface of the dryer. A flow equalization plate is installed at the air outlet position on the surface of the air outlet box. The air inlet position on the surface of the air outlet box is connected to a hot air blower via an air supply pipe, and a solenoid valve is installed on the air supply pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, fixed plates are symmetrically installed on both sides of the support frame surface below the conveyor belt. Cleaning rollers are rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed plates. One end of the cleaning roller passes through one side of the fixed plate and is connected to the motor. A scraper is installed at an angle on the surface of the cleaning roller.

[0010] Furthermore, a debris box is installed below the conveyor belt on the surface of the separator plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a feed inlet is provided on one side of the top of the dryer.

[0012] Furthermore, a discharge port is inclinedly opened at the bottom position of one side surface of the dryer.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the partition plates is inclined and equipped with a guide plate.

[0014] Furthermore, several sets of support legs are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom of the dryer.

[0015] Furthermore, the hot air blower is located at the top of the dryer.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a mesh dryer for gelatin strips, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) This utility model adopts mesh belt holes and air outlet boxes. When drying gelatin strips, multiple sets of conveyor belts inside can realize repeated drying operations, thereby extending the overall drying quality and facilitating more sufficient heat to be applied to the gelatin strips. Moreover, the mesh belt holes on different conveyor belts are of different sizes, which can ensure that they can smoothly adapt to the gelatin strip drying process at different stages, avoiding insufficient or excessive hot air circulation that affects the drying effect. In addition, each conveyor belt is independently equipped with an air outlet box, and each air outlet box is independently controlled by a solenoid valve to ensure that the hot air volume meets the drying requirements of gelatin strips at different stages, avoiding over-drying or under-drying, ensuring the overall drying effect, and has the advantages of good drying effect and uniform heat adjustment.

[0018] (2) This utility model uses a cleaning roller and a scraper. When the conveyor belt runs to the bottom, the motor can drive the cleaning roller to rotate, so that the scraper on its surface will intermittently contact the surface of the conveyor belt. The vibration and scraping action generated by the contact will remove the gelatin particles in the mesh belt holes and the gelatin residue on the surface of the mesh belt, ensuring the cleanliness of the mesh belt surface. This will ensure that the hot air can flow smoothly and fully act on the gelatin strip, improving the overall drying quality and making it easier to use. It has the advantages of cleaning and preventing mesh belt blockage. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a mesh dryer for gelatin strips is provided.

[0028] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, a mesh dryer for gelatin strips according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a dryer 1 and support legs 15. Several sets of partition plates 3 are evenly and alternately installed inside the dryer 1. Several sets of support frames 11 are installed above the partition plates 3. A conveyor belt 4 is installed between the support frames 11. Several sets of mesh belt holes 18 are opened on the surface of the conveyor belt 4, and the size of the mesh belt holes 18 gradually decreases. An air outlet box 8 is installed on one side of the conveyor belt 4 on the inner surface of the dryer 1. A flow equalization plate 10 is installed at the air outlet position on the surface of the air outlet box 8. The air inlet position on the surface of the air outlet box 8 is connected to a hot air blower 6 through an air supply pipe 7. A solenoid valve 9 is installed on the air supply pipe 7. The flow equalization plate 10 is set to make the airflow distribution more uniform, which is conducive to better drying. The solenoid valve 9 is set to control the hot air volume, thereby meeting the needs of gelatin strips at different drying progress, avoiding over-drying or under-drying, and improving the overall drying quality.

[0029] In one embodiment, fixed plates 13 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the support frame 11 below the conveyor belt 4. A cleaning roller 12 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed plate 13. One end of the cleaning roller 12 passes through one side of the fixed plate 13 and is connected to the motor 17. A scraper 14 is installed at an angle on the surface of the cleaning roller 12. The scraper 14 is set to clean the surface of the conveyor belt 4, thereby avoiding gelatin residue that may cause blockage of the holes, which would prevent the hot air from flowing smoothly and thus affect the drying effect of the gelatin strip, ensuring the drying quality of the device.

[0030] In one embodiment, a debris box 16 is installed below the conveyor belt 4 on the surface of the partition plate 3. The debris box 16 is provided to facilitate the collection of gelatin particles and residues removed during cleaning, so as to facilitate subsequent handling by personnel.

[0031] In one embodiment, a feed inlet 5 is provided on one side of the top of the dryer 1. The feed inlet 5 is provided to facilitate the addition of gelatin strips that need to be dried, so as to facilitate subsequent processing.

[0032] In one embodiment, a discharge port 19 is inclinedly provided at the bottom of one side surface of the dryer 1. The discharge port 19 is provided to facilitate the discharge of the dried gelatin strips for subsequent use.

[0033] In one embodiment, a guide plate 2 is installed at one end of each partition plate 3 at an angle. The guide plate 2 is set to guide the discharged gelatin strip and allow it to fall onto the conveyor belt 4 below, thereby realizing subsequent secondary drying or even multiple drying operations. Since the conveyor belt 4 is an existing mature structure and its supporting equipment is complete and is common knowledge, such as drive equipment, drive roller, active roller, etc., this application does not elaborate on it.

[0034] In one embodiment, several sets of support legs 15 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom of the dryer 1. The support legs 15 can support the device and ensure the stability of subsequent operations.

[0035] In one embodiment, the hot air blower 6 is located at the top of the dryer 1. The hot air blower 6 is set up to generate hot air for drying, thereby ensuring the smooth drying operation of the gelatin strips and ensuring the normal operation of the device. Since the hot air blower 6 is of various types and has mature applications, from daily life to industrial use, personnel can select the appropriate hot air blower 6 according to their needs, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0036] Working Principle: In actual use, personnel can add the gelatin strips to be dried into the dryer 1 through the feed inlet 5. The added gelatin strips will fall onto the top conveyor belt 4. Because multiple sets of conveyor belts 4 are interwoven inside the machine, and the mesh holes 18 on the conveyor belts 4 are of different sizes, the drying needs of gelatin strips at different drying speeds can be met. This avoids problems such as incomplete drying due to uniform size and overly dry output, thus ensuring overall drying quality. Furthermore, the air outlet box 8 for drying is located on the side of the conveyor belt 4, and its air distribution plates 10 are distributed at the top and middle of the conveyor belt 4, respectively. This allows the hot air to more fully reach different parts of the gelatin strip. Compared to the traditional end-inlet method, this increases the overall drying area, facilitating more thorough and uniform drying of the gelatin strips. The gelatin strips undergo drying, and each air outlet box 8 is controlled by an individual hot air blower 6 and solenoid valve 9. This ensures that the hot air volume of the air outlet box 8 at different positions is controlled, avoiding excessive or insufficient hot air from affecting the drying effect of the gelatin strips and ensuring the overall quality of use. At the same time, when the conveyor belt 4 runs to the bottom, the motor 17 drives the cleaning roller 12 to rotate, which causes the scraper 14 on its surface to intermittently contact the surface of the conveyor belt 4. The vibration and scraping action generated by the contact remove gelatin particles in the mesh belt holes 18 and gelatin residue on the surface of the mesh belt, ensuring the cleanliness of the mesh belt surface and ensuring that the hot air can flow smoothly, thus fully acting on the gelatin strips, improving the overall drying quality, and facilitating better use. The device as a whole has the advantages of good drying effect, mesh belt cleaning and anti-clogging, and uniform heat adjustment.
