[0002] In many industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals, it is often necessary to pulverize various materials.

[0003] However, for some heat-sensitive materials, such as certain traditional Chinese medicines, food additives, and biological products, traditional pulverizers generate a large amount of heat during the pulverization process due to mechanical friction, causing the material temperature to rise sharply.

[0025] As illustrated in Figures 1-3, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] A low-temperature pulverizer includes a pulverizer body 1, a pulverizing structure 2 inside the pulverizer body 1, a cooling jacket 3 inside the pulverizer body 1 and outside the pulverizing structure 2, a cooling device 8 at the outer end of the cooling jacket 3 being connected to the interior of the cooling jacket 3 via an external cooling pipe 7, an upper cover 4 on the upper part of the pulverizer body 1, a matching sealing cover 5 fixedly connected to the upper part of the interior of the upper cover 4, and a handle 6 fixedly installed on the top of the sealing cover 5.

[0027] Specifically, the crushing structure 2 includes a first crushing tooth 21 and a second crushing tooth 22 located inside the crusher body 1. Both the first crushing tooth 21 and the second crushing tooth 22 are internally connected to a drive shaft. The tail ends of the drive shafts on the first crushing tooth 21 and the second crushing tooth 22 are respectively connected to a first drive gear 23 and a second drive gear 24. The head end of the drive shaft of the first crushing tooth 21 is fixedly connected to a drive motor 25 located on the outside via a coupling. The drive motor 25 is a variable frequency motor. The head end of the drive shaft of the second crushing tooth 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the crusher body 1 via a bearing. When the drive motor 25 starts, it drives the drive shaft of the first crushing tooth 21 to rotate via the coupling. The first drive gear 23 rotates accordingly, which in turn drives the meshing second drive gear 24, causing the second crushing tooth 22 to rotate and crush the material entering the crusher body 1. Since the drive motor 25 is a variable frequency motor, the speed can be adjusted according to the material characteristics and crushing requirements.

[0028] The first crushing tooth 21 and the second crushing tooth 22 are meshed together with a transmission ratio of 1:1.2-1:1.5 to ensure a reasonable speed difference between them, thereby improving crushing efficiency. Both are made of high-strength wear-resistant alloy material and have undergone surface hardening treatment to enhance their wear resistance and service life. The high-strength wear-resistant alloy material and surface hardening treatment of the first crushing tooth 21 and the second crushing tooth 22 ensure wear resistance and long service life under low temperature and frequent use. The transmission ratio of 1:1.2-1:1.5 ensures a reasonable speed difference, improves crushing efficiency, and allows for more thorough material crushing.

[0029] Specifically, the refrigeration device 8 is a compression refrigeration unit with a refrigeration temperature range of -20℃ to 0℃, and it has automatic temperature adjustment and control functions, which can precisely adjust the temperature inside the pulverizing chamber according to the pulverizing requirements; the cooling pipe 7 is an insulated pipe, which is wrapped with heat insulation material to reduce the loss of cold energy of the refrigerant during the transmission process and ensure refrigeration efficiency; the cooling jacket 3 is made of a metal with good thermal conductivity, such as stainless steel, with a thickness of 3-5 mm to ensure good cooling effect and sufficient strength; when the refrigeration device 8 is working, the refrigerant enters the cooling jacket 3 through the cooling pipe 7, circulates in the jacket, and carries away the heat generated by the pulverizing structure 2 during operation.

[0030] Specifically, the inner wall of the sealing cover 5 is provided with sound-absorbing and noise-reducing material, which can effectively reduce the noise generated during the crushing process and improve the working environment; the upper cover 4 and the crusher body 1 are sealed together by a sealing rubber ring, and the inner wall of the top connection between the upper cover 4 and the crusher body 1 is surrounded by an installation eave 9. The outer periphery of the sealing cover 5 is provided with a connecting plate 10 that cooperates with the installation eave 9. Several holes are opened on the installation eave 9 and the connecting plate 10, and locking bolts 11 are used to lock and fix them through these holes; the sealing cover 5 can be opened or closed by the handle 6. When the machine is open, it can be used for operations such as material feeding; the upper cover 4 and the crusher body 1 are sealed and connected by a sealing rubber ring. During installation, the connecting plate 10 of the sealing cover 5 is aligned with the mounting eaves 9 on the inner wall of the connection between the upper cover 4 and the top of the crusher body 1, and locked and fixed by locking bolts 11 through the holes; the sound-absorbing and noise-reducing material on the inner wall of the sealing cover 5 can effectively reduce the noise during the crushing process and improve the working environment; the sealing connection between the upper cover 4, the crusher body 1 and the sealing cover 5 prevents dust from overflowing, ensures the cleanliness of the working environment, and also helps to maintain the low temperature environment in the crushing chamber.

[0031] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When installing the low-temperature pulverizer, firstly, install the refrigeration device 8 in a suitable position, ensuring that it is tightly connected to the cooling jacket 3 through the cooling pipe 7 without leakage. The cooling pipe 7 is wrapped with heat insulation material to reduce the loss of cold energy transmission. Then, install the first crushing tooth 21 and the second crushing tooth 22. The tail ends of their internal drive shafts are respectively connected to the first drive gear 23 and the second drive gear 24. The head end of the drive shaft of the first crushing tooth 21 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 25 on the outside through a coupling. The head end of the drive shaft of the second crushing tooth 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the pulverizer body 1 through a bearing. After installation, carefully adjust the position and gap of the crushing teeth. Then, seal the upper cover 4 to the pulverizer body 1 with a sealing rubber ring. Connect the sealing cover 5 to the mounting eaves 9 through the connecting plate 10 and fix it with locking bolts 11. Turn on the power and debug the refrigeration system and pulverization system through the intelligent control panel, setting the initial parameters such as the refrigeration temperature range of the refrigeration device 8 from -20℃ to 0℃ and the pulverization time.

[0032] During crushing, the cooling device 8 is activated, and the refrigerant circulates in the cooling jacket 3, rapidly cooling the crushing chamber to the set low temperature. The cooling jacket 3 is made of 3-5 mm thick stainless steel or other thermally conductive metals to ensure effective cooling. The drive motor 25 is turned on; as it is a variable frequency motor, its speed can be adjusted according to the material characteristics. The motor drives the first crushing tooth 21 to rotate, and through the meshing of the first transmission gear 23 and the second transmission gear 24, it drives the second crushing tooth 22 to rotate. The two crushing teeth rotate relative to each other at a transmission ratio of 1:1.2-1:1.5, efficiently crushing heat-sensitive materials entering the crushing chamber from the feed inlet. During the crushing process, the cooling jacket 3 continuously removes the heat generated by mechanical friction, maintaining the material at a low temperature and preventing the heat-sensitive material from deforming due to heat.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
