[0019] See Figures 1 to 5As shown, a drying device for winemaking equipment includes a cleaning tank 1. The top of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a cover 2, and the cover 2 has a feed inlet. When it is necessary to clean the raw materials, the raw materials can be poured into the cleaning tank 1 through the feed inlet. Two spray pipes 3 are installed inside the cleaning tank 1. One end of the two spray pipes 3 is connected to a connecting pipe 4. A water inlet corresponding to the connecting pipe 4 is opened on the side wall of the cleaning tank 1. A water inlet pipe 5 is connected to the water inlet. One end of the water inlet pipe 5 is connected to the connecting pipe 4. Water is supplied to the connecting pipe 4 through the external water inlet pipe 5. The connecting pipe 4 discharges the cleaning water into the two spray pipes 3. Several spray heads are installed at the bottom of the two spray pipes 3. The cleaning water is sprayed out through the spray heads so that the raw materials can be rinsed.
[0020] The cleaning tank 1 is also equipped with a stirring component 6 for stirring the raw materials to improve the cleaning efficiency. During the cleaning process, the stirring component 6 can be activated to stir the raw materials, making the cleaning more thorough.
[0021] The stirring assembly 6 includes a stirring rod 61 and several stirring blades 62. The stirring rod 61 is rotatably mounted inside the cleaning tank 1. A geared motor 63 is installed on the top of the cover 2. The output shaft of the geared motor 63 passes through the cover 2 and is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 61. Each stirring blade 62 is fixed on the side wall of the stirring rod 61. When it is necessary to stir the raw materials, the geared motor 63 can be started first. The output shaft of the geared motor 63 drives the stirring rod 61 to rotate. The stirring rod 61 drives each stirring blade 62 to rotate. The stirring blades 62 stir the raw materials, thereby facilitating better cleaning of the raw materials.
[0022] The bottom side wall of the cleaning tank 1 is also provided with a drain outlet 1, and a drain pipe 14 is installed on the drain outlet 1. A solenoid valve 1 is installed on the drain pipe 14. During the cleaning process, the solenoid valve 1 can be opened to discharge the cleaning wastewater through the drain pipe 14. A filter screen is also installed on the drain outlet 1 to filter the wastewater and prevent the raw materials from being carried into the drain pipe 14 along with the wastewater.
[0023] A discharge pipe 7 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. A baffle 8 is slidably installed on the side wall of the discharge pipe 7. A cylinder 9 is installed on the outside of the cleaning tank 1. The piston rod of the cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle 8. A drying conduit 10 is also provided at the bottom of the discharge pipe 7. After the raw material is cleaned, the cylinder 9 can be activated. The piston rod of the cylinder 9 pulls the baffle 8 to move. The movement of the baffle 8 makes the discharge pipe 7 no longer obstructed, and the raw material can enter the drying conduit 10 through the discharge pipe 7. A flip-top assembly 11 for sealing is provided at the bottom of the drying conduit 10. An electric heating plate 12 is installed on the inner wall of the drying conduit 10. After the raw material enters the drying conduit 10, the flip-top assembly 11 first supports the raw material, allowing the raw material to stay in the drying conduit 10. At this time, the electric heating plate 12 can be activated. The electric heating plate 12 has a resistance wire inside. After the resistance is energized, the electrical energy is converted into heat energy. The electric heating plate 12 can perform preliminary drying treatment on the raw material.
[0024] The bottom of the drying conduit 10 is also equipped with a spiral feeding assembly 13. After the raw material is initially dried, the flip-top assembly 11 will open, so that the raw material in the drying conduit 10 will enter the spiral feeding assembly 13.
[0025] The flip-top assembly 11 includes a sealing frame 110 and a sealing plate 111. The drying conduit 10 has a square structure. The sealing frame 110 is fixed to the bottom of the drying conduit 10. The sealing plate 111 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the sealing frame 110. Rubber strips are fixed on both sides of the sealing plate 111. The sealing plate 111 achieves sealing with the sealing frame 110 through the rubber strips on both sides. Bearing seats are installed on both sides of the sealing plate 111. Connecting rods 112 are installed at both ends of the sealing plate 111. One end of the connecting rod 112 passes through the sealing frame 110 and is connected to the bearing seat. A support frame 113 is installed on the outer wall of the sealing frame 110. A pusher is installed on the support frame 113. The cylinder 114 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 113. One end of the connecting rod 112 on one side passes through the bearing seat and is fitted with a connecting plate 115 and a drain pipe. The piston rod of the cylinder 114 is hinged to one end of the connecting plate 115 and the drain pipe. When it is necessary to push the sealing plate 111 to open or close, the cylinder 114 can be started first. The piston rod of the cylinder 114 will push the connecting plate 115 and the drain pipe to rotate. The rotation of the connecting plate 115 and the drain pipe can drive the sealing plate 111 to flip. The flipping of the sealing plate 111 enables the raw material to be discharged into the screw feeding assembly 13.
[0026] A second drain outlet is provided on the side wall of the sealing frame 110. The second drain outlet is located above the sealing plate 111. A second drain pipe 15 is connected to the second drain outlet. A first solenoid valve is also installed on the second drain pipe 15. In order to prevent the raw materials entering the drying duct 10 from carrying wastewater that has not been discharged and affecting the drying efficiency, the second drain pipe 15 is installed to discharge the residual moisture. A filter screen is also installed on the second drain outlet to filter the raw materials and prevent them from entering the second drain pipe 15.
[0027] The spiral feeding assembly 13 includes a feeding hopper 130, a spiral feeding rod 131, and a drive motor 132. The feeding hopper 130 is installed at the bottom of the drying conduit 10. A second inlet is located on the top side of the feeding hopper 130, corresponding to the sealing frame 110. The spiral feeding rod 131 is rotatably mounted inside the feeding hopper 130. The drive motor 132 is installed on the side wall of the feeding hopper 130. The output shaft of the drive motor 132 passes through the feeding hopper 130 and is fixedly connected to the spiral feeding rod 131. A discharge port is also located on the bottom side of the feeding hopper 130. Raw materials enter the feeding hopper 130 through the second inlet at the top. During the process of the raw materials entering, the drive motor 132... 32 will start, and the drive motor 132 will drive the screw feeder 131 to rotate. The rotation of the screw feeder 131 can drive the raw material to be transported. The screw feeder 131 can transport the raw material to the discharge port for discharge. Multiple electric heating plates 133 are also installed on the outer wall of the feeding barrel 130. By installing electric heating plates 133 on the outer wall of the feeding barrel 130, the electric heating plates 133 can heat the feeding barrel 130, and the raw material is further dried through the feeding barrel 130. This prevents the raw material from accumulating in the drying duct 10 and not being fully dried. The conveying of the raw material by the screw feeder 131 can also ensure that the raw material is dried evenly.
[0028] Working principle: When raw materials need to be processed, they can first be discharged into the cleaning tank 1. The raw materials are sprayed and cleaned through the two spray pipes 3 in the cleaning tank 1. During the cleaning process, the stirring component 6 is used to stir the raw materials, making the cleaning more thorough. After the raw materials are cleaned, the baffle 8 will be moved by the cylinder 9, so that the discharge pipe 7 is no longer blocked. The cleaned raw materials will enter the drying conduit 10 through the discharge pipe 7 at the bottom. The electric heating plate 12 in the drying conduit 10 will perform preliminary drying on the material, reducing the moisture on the surface of the raw materials. After the raw materials have been preliminarily dried, the flip-top component 11 will be opened, so that the raw materials in the drying conduit 10 will enter the screw feeding component 13. The screw feeding component 13 will transport the raw materials to the designated position. During the conveying process, the screw feeding component 13 will heat the feeding barrel 130 through the electric heating plate 133, so that the raw materials inside can be heated again, thereby achieving thorough drying of the raw materials.
