Description

A drying device for glutinous rice flour production Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glutinous rice flour production technology, specifically to a drying device for glutinous rice flour production. Background Technology

[0002] Glutinous rice flour is made from glutinous rice through processes such as washing, soaking, grinding, dehydration, drying, and pulverizing. Among these processes, drying is a crucial step that affects the quality of glutinous rice flour, directly impacting the product's shelf life, processing suitability, and production costs.

[0003] Existing technology uses hot air to flow over the surface or interior of the material, transferring heat to the moisture in the material and causing it to evaporate into water vapor. The moisture inside the material migrates to the surface through capillary action, and the water vapor is carried by the hot air and discharged from the equipment through the dehumidification system, thereby reducing the moisture content of the material. However, during the drying process, the direct hot air not only carries away the water vapor but also generates dust, resulting in waste and affecting the health of the workers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the technical problem that direct hot air blowing removes water vapor while generating dust, resulting in waste and affecting the health of workers. It provides a drying device for glutinous rice flour production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying device for glutinous rice flour production, comprising: a feeding pipe rotatably connected to a horizontally arranged drying cylinder, a spiral blade connected inside the drying cylinder, air holes evenly distributed around the circumference of the cylinder wall at the head and middle, the drying cylinder with air holes rotatably connected to an air chamber, the air chamber contacting the upper half of the drying cylinder and blocking the air holes, the feeding pipe connected to the air chamber through a feeding bracket, the lower half of the air chamber connected to a hot air pipe, the drying cylinder being connected to the output gear of a power source through a gear, the upper part of the air chamber being connected to a dust hopper, the dust hopper being connected to a dust collection pipe through a dust pipe, a suction pump being provided in the middle of the dust collection pipe, and the end of the dust collection pipe being tangentially connected to a cyclone dust collector, the cyclone dust collector being fixed by a dust collector bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the head and middle of the drying cylinder are rotatably connected to multiple air chambers, and the hot air temperature in each air chamber is different.

[0007] Preferably, a fixed pipe is connected to the middle of the spiral blade, and a conveying shaft is concentrically connected to the fixed pipe. An auxiliary spiral blade is connected to the conveying shaft inside the horizontal part of the injection pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the middle part of the injection pipe is connected to the circumferential surface of the cylinder, and the side wall of the cylinder is rotatably connected to the end of the feeding fan blade. The feeding fan blade is located in the cylinder, the edge of the feeding fan blade is in contact with the inner circumferential wall of the cylinder, and the two sides of the feeding fan blade are in contact with the two inner side walls of the cylinder.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] Hot air is injected into the drying cylinder from the bottom, causing the glutinous rice flour inside the drying cylinder to fluidize and vibrate. The drying cylinder and the spiral blades work together to drive the glutinous rice flour to rotate and transport, which improves the flow of the powder between the upper and lower layers and thus improves the drying effect. The dust generated is sucked into the cyclone dust collector by the upper air pump. After the glutinous rice flour is dried, it enters the end of the drying cylinder to cool down and then is discharged. This solves the dust problem and improves the drying efficiency.

[0011] The auxiliary spiral blades effectively prevent the glutinous rice powder from clogging the injection pipe, and the feeding fan blades effectively prevent hot air backflow. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] The rotary connection described in this device refers to the axial fixation of the bearing by mounting the bearing on the shaft, with a spring retaining ring groove provided on the shaft or shaft hole, and the rotation achieved by locking the elastic retaining ring in the retaining ring groove; the hinge connection refers to the connection method that allows movement through connecting parts such as hinges, pins, and short shafts.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] The following description, in conjunction with Figures 1-2, describes a drying device for glutinous rice flour production, comprising: a feeding pipe 1, which is rotatably connected to a horizontally arranged drying cylinder 2; a spiral blade 3 connected inside the drying cylinder 2; air holes evenly distributed around the circumference of the cylinder wall at the head and middle of the drying cylinder 2; the drying cylinder 2 with the air holes rotatably connected to an air chamber 4; the air chamber 4 contacts the upper half of the drying cylinder 2 and blocks the air holes; the feeding pipe 1 is connected to the air chamber 4 via a feeding bracket 5; the lower half of the air chamber 4 is connected to a hot air pipe 6; the drying cylinder 2 is meshed with a power output gear via a gear 7; the upper part of the air chamber 4 is connected to a dust hopper 8; the dust hopper 8 is connected to a dust collection pipe 10 via a dust pipe 9; a suction pump 11 is provided in the middle of the dust collection pipe 10; the end of the dust collection pipe 10 is tangentially connected to a cyclone dust collector 12; and the cyclone dust collector 12 is fixed by a dust collector bracket 13.

[0019] During use, hot air is injected into the air chamber 4 through the lower hot air pipe 6. The hot air directly hits the side wall of the air chamber 4 and then directly hits the air hole of the drying cylinder 2. The air hole at the top of the drying cylinder 2 is blocked by the air chamber 4. The hot air is injected through the lower part of the drying cylinder 2, causing the glutinous rice flour inside the drying cylinder 2 to fluidize and vibrate. The power is driven by the gear 7 to rotate the drying cylinder 2. The drying cylinder 2 and the spiral blade 3 work together to drive the glutinous rice flour to rotate and transport, making the flow of the powder between the upper and lower layers better, thus improving the drying effect. The air pump 11 extracts the dust inside the drying cylinder 2 through the dust collection pipe 10, dust pipe 9, and dust hopper 8 and injects it into the cyclone dust collector 12. After the glutinous rice flour is dried, it enters the end of the drying cylinder 2 to cool down and then is discharged. This solves the problem of dust and improves the drying efficiency.

[0020] The head and middle of the drying cylinder 2 are rotatably connected to multiple air chambers 4, and the hot air temperature in each air chamber 4 is different.

[0021] Initially, medium- and high-temperature hot air is used to quickly evaporate surface moisture by taking advantage of the large temperature difference and humidity gradient between the hot air and the material. Later, the process is switched to low-temperature hot air to avoid local overheating or scorching of the material due to the slowdown in the migration rate of internal moisture after the surface moisture has evaporated.

[0022] A fixed pipe 14 is connected to the middle of the spiral blade 3, and a conveying shaft 15 is concentrically connected to the fixed pipe 14. An auxiliary spiral blade 16 is connected to the conveying shaft 15 inside the horizontal part of the injection pipe 1.

[0023] The spiral blade 3 drives the conveying shaft 15 and the auxiliary spiral blade 16 to rotate through the fixed pipe 14, which effectively prevents the glutinous rice powder in the injection pipe 1 from clogging.

[0024] The middle part of the injection pipe 1 is connected to the circumferential surface of the cylinder 17. The side wall of the cylinder 17 is rotatably connected to the shaft end of the feeding fan blade 18. The feeding fan blade 18 is located in the cylinder 17. The edge of the feeding fan blade 18 is in contact with the inner circumferential wall of the cylinder 17, and the two sides of the feeding fan blade 18 are in contact with the two inner side walls of the cylinder 17.

[0025] The feeding fan blade 18 and the cylinder 17 work together to isolate the upper and lower parts of the feeding pipe 1. When the feeding fan blade 18 rotates, it transports the glutinous rice flour to the lower part, and the hot air at the lower part cannot flow back through the feeding fan blade 18.
