Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of menthol processing technology, specifically relating to a menthol grading and dehydration device. Background Technology
[0002] Existing dehydration devices simply heat and dehydrate menthol, which causes the menthol to generate water vapor when heated, resulting in a low dehydration rate. As water continues to form steam, the water vapor inside the chamber comes into direct contact with the menthol, causing the water vapor to moisten the menthol again, thus affecting the evaporation efficiency of the water in the menthol. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a menthol grading and dehydration device, which solves the problem that menthol is affected by water vapor, resulting in a low dehydration rate and low efficiency after dehydration.
[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a menthol grading and dehydration device, comprising a dehydration chamber, a support ring plate fixedly connected to the top of the dehydration chamber, a rotating ring plate rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support ring plate, an installation plate rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring plate, an exhaust assembly fixedly connected to the installation plate, the support ring plate and the installation plate being fixedly connected by a bracket rod, a fixed pipe communicating with the exhaust assembly being fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation plate, three partitions being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed pipe, a rotating plate rotatably connected to the inner wall of the dehydration chamber, a fixed rod fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate, a storage box fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod, a cooperating connecting plate fixedly connected to the storage box, a plurality of electromagnetic heaters embedded in the cooperating connecting plate, and the two sides of the storage box corresponding to the partitions.
[0005] The mounting plate has an exhaust hole at the connection with the fixing pipe, and the outer wall of the fixing pipe has several connecting holes that communicate with the inner cavity of the dehydration tank.
[0006] The outer wall of the rotating plate is fixedly connected to three fixing blocks, and the fixing blocks and the storage box are connected and fixed by connecting rods.
[0007] The bottom of the dehydration tank is fixedly connected to a base plate, and a motor is provided at the center of the base plate. The motor drive end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating plate, and the motor is connected to the inner wall of the base plate by a limiting rod.
[0008] The base plate has a clearance hole on its outer wall, and two positioning rods corresponding to the two sides of the storage box are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the motor drive end. A positioning block corresponding to the partition is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the motor.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting up a rotating ring plate, partition plate, rotating plate, storage box and electromagnetic heater, a component capable of multi-stage heating of menthol is formed, so that the water vapor content in the dehydration chamber can be continuously reduced during the staged heating of menthol.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a menthol grading and dehydration device, comprising a dehydration chamber 1, a support ring plate 11 fixedly connected to the top of the dehydration chamber 1, a rotating ring plate 12 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support ring plate 11, an installation plate 13 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring plate 12, an exhaust assembly 14 fixedly connected to the installation plate 13, the support ring plate 11 and the installation plate 13 being fixedly connected by a bracket rod 15, a fixed pipe 16 connected to the exhaust assembly 14 being fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation plate 13, three partitions 17 being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed pipe 16, a rotating plate 2 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the dehydration chamber 1, a fixed rod 21 fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 2, a storage box 22 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod 21, a cooperating connecting plate 221 fixedly connected to the storage box 22, a plurality of electromagnetic heaters 23 embedded in the cooperating connecting plate 221, and the two sides of the storage box 22 corresponding to the partitions 17.
[0017] In this implementation scheme: the dehydration chamber 1 is a chamber for processing and dehydrating menthol. A storage chamber 22 is installed on a rotating plate 2 rotatably connected inside the dehydration chamber 1, via a fixed rod 21. This allows the storage chamber 22 to connect with the fixed rod 21 and the rotating plate 2, enabling it to rotate synchronously with the rotating plate 2. The storage chamber 22 stores the menthol to be dehydrated. After the menthol is placed in the storage chamber 22, it is heated and dehydrated by an electromagnetic heater 23 installed on one side of the storage chamber 22 via a cooperating connecting plate 221. When the water in the menthol is heated, the resulting steam communicates with the inner cavity of the dehydration chamber 1 through a fixed pipe 16. That is, after the fixed pipe 16 is fixed to the mounting plate 13, the exhaust assembly 14 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 13 absorbs and discharges the steam generated after heating the menthol, preventing a large accumulation of steam inside the dehydration chamber 1 and subsequent secondary steam flow to the surface of the menthol.
[0018] In this embodiment, three partitions 17 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed tube 16 equidistantly separate the bottom of the inner cavity of the dehydration chamber 1, dividing it into three parts. The two sides of the storage box 22 correspond to two of the partitions 17, so that the storage box 22 and the two partitions 17 are not connected to the cavities separated by the other two partitions 17. This allows water vapor to be placed in the cavities of the storage box 22 and the two partitions 17 for the first stage of dehydration. After a certain period of dehydration, in order to avoid the menthol being affected by too much water vapor, the rotating plate 2 can be rotated to move the storage box 22 from the cavity between the two partitions 17 to an adjacent cavity. This cavity is not connected to the cavity of the first stage of dehydration. After the storage box 22 is aligned with this cavity, the amount of water vapor is lower than that of the cavity of the first stage of dehydration, allowing the menthol to undergo the second stage of dehydration. This avoids excessive water vapor directly contacting the menthol, improving the discharge of water vapor and the dehydration effect of the menthol. After a certain period of dehydration, the rotating plate 2 can continue to rotate, allowing the menthol in the storage box 22 to undergo a third stage of dehydration. This allows the amount of water vapor in each cavity to be continuously reduced during the multi-stage dehydration of the menthol, thereby increasing the dehydration efficiency and dehydration rate of the menthol and improving the dehydration effect. When the rotating plate 2 is rotated, the rotating ring plate 12 can rotate between the supporting ring plate 11 and the mounting plate 13. The dehydration box 1 and the mounting plate 13 are fixed by the bracket 15. After the electromagnetic heater 23 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 21 through the cooperating connecting plate 221, it will not limit the rotation of the rotating plate 2. At the same time, it ensures the fixed position of the partition 17.
[0019] In this embodiment, an exhaust hole 131 is provided at the connection between the mounting plate 13 and the fixed pipe 16, and several connecting holes 161 connected to the inner cavity of the dehydration chamber 1 are provided on the outer wall of the fixed pipe 16. The exhaust hole 131 at the connection between the mounting plate 13 and the fixed pipe 16 is used to connect the exhaust assembly 14 and the fixed pipe 16, so that water vapor can be discharged, reducing the amount of water vapor in each cavity and increasing the dehydration efficiency of menthol. The connecting holes 161 are used to connect the fixed pipe 16 to each cavity.
[0020] Three fixing blocks 25 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating plate 2. The fixing blocks 25 and the storage box 22 are connected and fixed by connecting rods 26. After the storage box 22 is moved to each cavity, the fixing blocks 25 fixed to the outer wall of the rotating plate 2 are connected and fixed by connecting rods 26 to each of them by corresponding to different fixing blocks 25.
[0021] A motor 31 is provided at the center of the base plate 3. The driving end of the motor 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating plate 2. The motor 31 is connected to the inner wall of the base plate 3 through a limiting rod 311. The motor 31 at the center of the base plate 3 is used to drive the rotating plate 2, so that the rotating plate 2 can drive the storage box 22 to rotate. The motor 31 is fixed at the center of the base plate 3 through the limiting rod 311 to ensure that it corresponds to the center of the rotating plate 2 and drives the rotating plate 2 to rotate.
[0022] The outer wall of the base plate 3 has a clearance hole 32. Two positioning rods 34 corresponding to the two sides of the storage box 22 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive end of the motor 31. A positioning block 33 corresponding to the partition 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the motor 31. The clearance hole 32 on the outer wall of the base plate 3 is used to facilitate the inspection of the positioning block 33 fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 31. By aligning the positioning block 33 fixed at the opening position of the clearance hole 32 with the position of the partition 17, the position of the storage box 22 can be determined by aligning the positions of the positioning rods 34 and the positioning block 33.
[0023] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The menthol to be dehydrated is placed in the storage box 22. Several electromagnetic heaters 23 heat the menthol, causing the water inside to be heated and generate steam. This steam is then placed within the cavities of the storage box 22 and the two partitions 17, performing the first stage of dehydration. After a certain period of dehydration, the storage box 22 is rotated to an adjacent cavity that is not connected to the cavity used for the first stage of dehydration. After the storage box 22 is aligned with this cavity... The amount of water vapor in the chamber is lower than that in the first-stage dehydration chamber, allowing for a second-stage dehydration of the menthol. This reduces the amount of water vapor directly contacting the menthol, preventing it from affecting the discharge of water vapor and the dehydration effect of the menthol. After a certain period of dehydration, the rotating plate 2 continues to rotate, allowing the menthol in the storage box 22 to undergo a third-stage dehydration. This multi-stage dehydration process continuously reduces the amount of water vapor in each chamber, resulting in higher dehydration efficiency and dehydration rate, thus improving the dehydration effect of the menthol.
