Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum drying technology, and in particular to a plate-type vacuum drying oven. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum drying technology, a key process for material dehydration, is widely used in pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. It lowers the boiling point of materials through a low-pressure environment, allowing moisture to evaporate rapidly at low temperatures. This avoids the damage to heat-sensitive components (such as active pharmaceutical ingredients and food flavor molecules) caused by high temperatures and significantly improves drying efficiency. In the pharmaceutical industry, this technology is used to dry heat-sensitive drugs such as antibiotics and vaccines, ensuring the stability of active ingredients. In the food industry, it is used for the dehydration of fruit and vegetable powders and probiotic preparations to retain nutrients and flavor. The chemical industry relies on it to process high-purity chemicals, preventing oxidation or clumping.
[0003] Vacuum drying ovens are widely used in the field of material dehydration, but traditional multi-layer drying ovens have some shortcomings in heat transfer efficiency. Specifically, existing drying technologies mostly adopt a single heat source heating method, which is fixed on the inner wall of the drying oven located on the side of the material. This method is prone to uneven heating of multiple layers of material. Especially when the material is stacked, the temperature difference between the upper and lower layers is obvious, which can easily lead to local overheating or incomplete drying, seriously affecting the consistency of product quality.
[0004] Therefore, a plate-type vacuum drying oven is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

This embodiment provides a plate-type vacuum drying oven that can achieve uniform heating of multi-layer materials. It includes: a main unit 100, which includes a box body 101, an openable and closable box door 102 disposed on the front side of the box body 101, and an venting component 103 disposed above the box body 101 for venting air from the drying oven.
[0033] The multi-layered panels 200 located within the housing 101 are used for layering and storing materials to be dried; and,
[0034] The hot water conduction unit 300 integrated in the housing 101 includes a liquid storage container 301, a circulation drive device 302, and a circulation pipeline assembly connected to the circulation drive device 302.
[0035] The circulating drive device 302 drives the heat transfer medium to circulate between the circulating pipeline assembly and the liquid storage container 301 to achieve heating and drying of materials.
[0036] When in use, open the box door 102 and place the materials in layers on the plate 200, and then close the box door 102. During drying, the heat transfer medium is driven by the circulation drive device 302 to circulate between the circulation pipeline assembly and the liquid storage container 301 to achieve uniform heating of each layer of material.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention.

The box door 102 is fixed by door clamping. A transparent observation window is also provided on the box door 102 for observing the drying status of the material inside the box. A sealing structure is provided between the box door 102 and the box body 101. The sealing of the inside of the box body 101 is achieved by the cooperation of door clamping and sealing mechanism.
[0039] It should be noted that the sealing mechanism can adopt common forms of existing technology. For example, an annular rubber sealing ring can be set on the edge of the door 102 to seal it, or it can be a magnetic seal, or it can use vacuum negative pressure to automatically compress the sealing structure. For those skilled in the art, other existing sealing structures can also be used without creative effort.
[0040] The venting assembly 103 includes a venting pipe, a venting ball valve 103a, an air filter 103b, and an inert gas injection module 103c. One end of the venting pipe is connected to the interior of the housing 101, and the end of the venting pipe inside the housing 101 is also equipped with a flow guide to facilitate the exhaust of air. The venting ball valve 103a and the air filter 103b are installed sequentially on the venting pipe. The air is filtered by the air filter 103b.

It has an integrated heating element for heating the heat transfer medium. The circulation drive device 302 is installed inside the box 101 and its input end is connected to the inside of the liquid storage container 301. The liquid storage container 301 is also provided with a liquid replenishment interface 301a, through which the heat transfer medium is replenished.
[0043] Preferably, the liquid storage container can be a water tank with a volume of 500L; the heating element can be a 3KW titanium alloy electric heating tube; and the circulation drive device 302 can be a high-temperature resistant magnetic pump (flow rate 12m³ / h). 3 / h, head 20m), and all of them are existing commonly used equipment, so their specific circuit structures will not be described in detail.
[0044] The circulation pipeline assembly includes an inlet pipe 303, an outlet pipe 304, and branch pipes 305. Multiple branch pipes 305 are embedded in each layer 200, preferably in a serpentine, evenly distributed manner. Both ends of the branch pipes 305 are connected to the inlet pipe 303 and the outlet pipe 304 respectively through an inlet corrugated pipe 303b and an outlet corrugated pipe 304b. The connectors are quick-connect, and the sealing method is PTFE sealing rings. The heat transfer medium flows in a low-inlet, high-outlet direction. The inlet 303a of the inlet pipe 303 is connected to the output end of the circulation drive device 302, and the outlet 304a of the outlet pipe 304 is connected to the liquid storage container 301.
[0045] During heating and drying, the circulation drive device 302 is activated to deliver the heat transfer medium into the inlet pipe 303. After passing through multiple inlet corrugated pipes 303b, the medium enters the branch pipes 305 of each layer and then flows back to the storage container 301 through the outlet pipe 304, forming a closed circulation loop. Therefore, by circulating the heat transfer medium through each layer, the multi-layer material area is heated evenly, solving the problem of local overheating or incomplete drying, and thus ensuring the consistency of product quality.

[0052] It should be noted that the temperature sensor 109 inside the chamber is an infrared sensor. When an abnormal temperature is detected inside the chamber, it works with electrical components to stop the circulation drive device 302 from working, preventing the material from overheating and being damaged.
[0053] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine task in design, manufacturing, and production without requiring extensive experimentation.
