Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical technology, and in particular relates to an essential oil granulation and coating device. Background Technology
[0002] In the preparation and packaging of essential oils, traditional granulation and coating methods usually require multiple steps, are time-consuming, and may lead to the loss of essential oils due to volatilization. Therefore, the development of an efficient essential oil granulation and coating equipment is of great significance for improving the quality of essential oil products and extending their shelf life. Such equipment usually combines automated granulation and rapid coating processes, which not only improves production efficiency but also ensures that the effective components of essential oils can be effectively protected.
[0003] Existing essential oil granulation and coating equipment requires heating the liquid essential oil to dry it into lumps and then stirring it with a stirring blade. However, the shear force of the stirring blade inside the existing essential oil granulation and coating equipment is weak, making it difficult to evenly disperse high-viscosity essential oil in the carrier. This results in uneven distribution of essential oil inside the granules, thus reducing the quality of the finished granules produced by the device.
[0004] In other words, traditional oil granulation and coating equipment is not easy to cut dried, lumpy essential oils into granules during use, which reduces the quality of the finished granules produced by the device. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention addresses the problem that traditional oil granulation and coating equipment in the prior art is difficult to shear dried, lumpy essential oils into granules, thus reducing the quality of the finished granules produced by the device. The following technical solution is proposed:
[0006] An essential oil granulation and coating device, comprising:
[0007] frame;
[0008] A granulation and coating machine, connected to the frame, is used to encapsulate essential oils in a solid carrier;
[0009] The mixing assembly includes a drive component one, a connecting rod one, a connecting rod two, a positioning frame, a mixing component, a shearing component, and a switching component. The drive component one is provided with a mounting base, which is connected to the frame. The mixing component and the shearing component are connected to the drive component one and the positioning frame through the connecting rod one and the connecting rod two, respectively. Both the connecting rod one and the positioning frame are sleeved on the connecting rod two. The drive component one drives the mixing component and the shearing component to mix the essential oil inside the granulation and coating machine.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the switching component includes: a second driving component, a baffle, a positioning sleeve, and a locking block. The second driving component is connected to the positioning frame, the baffle is connected to the second driving component, the baffle is connected to the second connecting rod through the positioning sleeve, the baffle is sleeved on the positioning sleeve, and the locking block is connected to the second connecting rod. The second driving component and the baffle change the operating state of the stirring component and the shearing component.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the stirring components are arranged in an equidistant array in the vertical direction at a position below the driving component.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the position where the connecting rod 2 connects to the positioning sleeve is rectangular, and the inner wall of the positioning sleeve is in close contact with the connecting rod 2.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, both the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are provided with connecting frames, one of the connecting frames being located between the mounting base and the stirring component, and the other connecting frame being located between the shearing component and the positioning frame, and both connecting frames are provided with cleaning components.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the cleaning components are provided in multiple forms and are arranged in a circular array with the center of the connecting frame surface as the center.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] (1) By simultaneously stirring the essential oil inside the granulation and coating machine with the stirring and shearing components, the mixing efficiency of the essential oil inside the granulation and coating machine before drying is improved, thereby avoiding the problem of large agglomeration of these essential oils during drying, thus improving the production quality of the device.
[0017] (2) When the positioning sleeve is in contact with the card block, the connecting rod one and the connecting rod two are in a state of synchronous operation. When the positioning sleeve is separated from the card block, the connecting rod two is in a working state on its own. When the starting drive component one is running in the reverse direction, the connecting frame drives the cleaning component to a working state. This allows the device to switch its working state according to different usage scenarios, thereby improving the flexibility of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0025] Example 1: This utility model provides an essential oil granulation and coating device, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the system includes: a frame 1, a granulation and coating machine 2, and a mixing assembly. The granulation and coating machine 2 is connected to the frame 1 and is used to encapsulate essential oils in a solid carrier. The mixing assembly includes a drive component 3, a connecting rod 4, a second connecting rod 5, a positioning frame 6, a mixing component 7, a shearing component 8, and a switching assembly. The drive component 3 is equipped with a mounting base 9 and is configured as a servo motor. The connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the granulation and coating machine 2 via a bearing. The mounting base 9 is connected to the frame 1. The mixing component 7 is connected to the connecting rod 4 and is configured as a paddle. The shearing component 8 is connected to the connecting rod 4. The second connecting rod 5 is a sawtooth disc with the shearing component 8 fitted at the top and the first connecting rod 4 fitted at the bottom. The second connecting rod 5 rotates inside the positioning frame 6 and the first connecting rod 4 respectively. The first driving component 3 drives the stirring component 7 and the shearing component 8 to stir the essential oil inside the granulation and coating machine 2. The stirring component 7 is set in three groups and the three groups of stirring components 7 are distributed in an equidistant array in the vertical direction below the first driving component 3. The position where the second connecting rod 5 connects to the positioning sleeve 12 is rectangular and the inner wall of the positioning sleeve 12 fits against the second connecting rod 5.
[0026] By simultaneously stirring the essential oil inside the granulation and coating machine 2 with the stirring component 7 and the shearing component 8, the mixing efficiency of the essential oil inside the granulation and coating machine 2 before drying is improved, thereby avoiding the problem of large agglomeration of these essential oils during drying, thus improving the production quality of the device.
[0027] In operation, the operator first injects liquid essential oil into the granulation and coating machine 2 through the feed inlet. The operator then activates drive component 3, which rotates connecting rod 5. Connecting rod 5 rotates clamping block 13, which in turn rotates positioning sleeve 12. Positioning sleeve 12 then rotates connecting rod 4. Simultaneously, connecting rod 5 rotates shearing component 8, while connecting rod 4 rotates stirring component 7. The stirring component 7 mixes the liquid essential oil entering the granulation and coating machine 2. The operator then starts the drying tower to dry the liquid essential oil into blocks. Shearing component 8 then cuts the dried blocks into small granules, which are then discharged through the outlet. The simultaneous stirring of the essential oil inside the granulation and coating machine 2 by stirring component 7 and shearing component 8 improves the mixing efficiency of the essential oil before drying, thus preventing large agglomeration during drying and improving the production quality of the device.
[0028] Specifically, the granulation and coating machine 2 is fixedly connected inside the frame 1. Inside the frame 1, at the top of the granulation and coating machine 2, there is a mounting base 9. Inside the mounting base 9, there is a drive component 3. The output end of the drive component 3 is keyed to a connecting rod 5. The bottom of the outer surface of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to a shearing component 8. The bottom of the connecting rod 5 is sleeved to a positioning frame 6. The positioning frame 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the granulation and coating machine 2. The top of the outer surface of the connecting rod 5 is sleeved to a connecting rod 4. The connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected inside the granulation and coating machine 2. The outer surface of the connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected to a stirring component 7.
[0029] The granulation and coating machine 2 also includes a feed inlet, a discharge outlet, and a drying tower. During use, liquid essential oil enters the granulation and coating machine 2 through the feed inlet, and then the liquid essential oil is solidified through the drying tower. The solidified essential oil is then discharged through the discharge outlet, thus completing the production process of the device. The above are all existing technologies and will not be elaborated further here.
[0030] To achieve the switching of the operating states of the stirring component 7 and the shearing component 8 in the above example, the following solution is proposed, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the switching assembly includes: a second drive unit 10, a baffle 11, a positioning sleeve 12, and a locking block 13. The second drive unit 10 is connected to the positioning frame 6, and the baffle 11 is connected to the second drive unit 10. The second drive unit 10 is configured as an electric push rod. The baffle 11 is circular in shape, and the positioning sleeve 12 is fixed inside the baffle 11. The baffle 11 is connected to the second connecting rod 5 through the positioning sleeve 12. A groove is provided at the top of the positioning sleeve 12. The locking block 13 is connected to the second connecting rod 5. A bevel matching the groove is provided at the bottom of the locking block 13. When the positioning sleeve 12 moves upward, the bevel of the locking block 13 fits against the groove at the top of the positioning sleeve 12. The second 10 and the baffle 11 cooperate to switch the operating state of the stirring component 7 and the shearing component 8; both the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 are equipped with connecting frames 15, which are interference-fitted with the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 2 via one-way bearings. One connecting frame 15 is located between the mounting base 9 and the stirring component 7, and the other connecting frame 15 is located between the shearing component 8 and the positioning frame 6. Both connecting frames 15 are equipped with cleaning components 14, which are scrapers and are in close contact with the inner wall of the granulation and coating machine 2; there are three cleaning components 14, which are arranged in a circumferential array centered on the center of the surface of the connecting frame 15.
[0031] When the positioning sleeve 12 is in contact with the card block 13, the connecting rod 1 4 and the connecting rod 2 5 operate synchronously. When the positioning sleeve 12 is separated from the card block 13, the connecting rod 2 5 operates independently. When the starting drive component 1 3 runs in reverse, the connecting frame 15 drives the cleaning component 14 to operate. This improves the flexibility of the device by switching its operating state according to different usage scenarios.
[0032] In use, the operator activates the second drive component 10 to shorten it. The second drive component 10 moves the baffle 11 downwards, which in turn moves the positioning sleeve 12 downwards. When the positioning sleeve 12 moves downwards, it separates from the locking block 13. At this point, because the locking block 13 cannot restrict the positioning sleeve 12, the positioning sleeve 12 cannot rotate synchronously with the locking block 13. At this time, the first drive component 3 drives the second connecting rod 5 to operate independently. When the operator reverses and activates the second drive component 10 to extend it, the second drive component 10 moves the baffle 11 upwards, and reverses the above steps to make the positioning sleeve 12 engage with the locking block 13. At this time, the drive component... The first 3 can connect the first 4 and the second 5 to rotate synchronously. When the operator starts the first 3 in the reverse direction, the first 4 and the second 5 are rotated in the opposite direction by the action of the one-way bearing, which drives the connecting frame 15 to rotate. The connecting frame 15 drives the cleaning component 14 to rotate. When the cleaning component 14 rotates, it cleans the essential oil particles remaining on the inner wall of the granulation and coating machine 2. By controlling the connection method of the control block 13 and the positioning sleeve 12 according to its own needs, the application scenarios of the device are improved. In addition, the working state of the device can be switched according to different usage scenarios, thereby improving the flexibility of the device.
[0033] Specifically, the second driving component 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base 9, and the number of the second driving component 10 is set to two. The two driving components 10 are located at the bottom edge of the mounting base 9. The baffle 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second driving component 10. The positioning sleeve 12 is fixedly connected inside the baffle 11. The positioning sleeve 12 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the first connecting rod 4. The top of the positioning sleeve 12 is snapped with a locking block 13. The locking block 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the second connecting rod 5. The surfaces of the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 5 are both fixedly connected with connecting frames 15. The opposite end faces of the two connecting frames 15 are fixedly connected with cleaning components 14. The number of cleaning components 14 is set to three. The three cleaning components 14 are arranged in a circumferential array with the center of the surface of the connecting frame 15 as the center. The three cleaning components 14 are all in contact with the inner wall of the granulation and coating machine 2.
[0034] Working Principle: When using this device, the operator first injects liquid essential oil into the granulation and coating machine 2 through the feed inlet. The operator then starts drive component 3, which drives connecting rod 5 to rotate. Connecting rod 5 drives clamping block 13 to rotate. Then, the operator starts drive component 10 to extend, pushing positioning sleeve 12 upwards via baffle 11. The upward movement stops when positioning sleeve 12 and clamping block 13 are in contact. Subsequently, clamping block 13 rotates, driving positioning sleeve 12 to rotate. Positioning sleeve 12 drives connecting rod 4 to rotate. At this time, connecting rod 5 drives shearing component 8 to rotate, while connecting rod 4 drives stirring component 7 to rotate synchronously. Stirring component 7 mixes the liquid essential oil entering the granulation and coating machine 2. The operator then starts the drying tower to dry the liquid essential oil into blocks. Finally, the operator starts... Drive component 2 10, through the action of a one-way bearing, causes connecting rod 1 4 and connecting rod 2 5 to rotate in opposite directions, while simultaneously driving connecting frame 15 to rotate. Connecting frame 15 drives cleaning component 14 to rotate. When cleaning component 14 rotates, it cleans the essential oil particles remaining on the inner wall of granulation and coating machine 2, and reverses the above steps to separate positioning sleeve 12 from clamping block 13. Then, drive component 1 3 drives shearing component 8 to shear the dried blocky essential oil into small particles, which are then discharged through the discharge port. Finally, drive component 1 3 is started in reverse, and stirring component 7 and shearing component 8 simultaneously stir the essential oil inside granulation and coating machine 2, thereby improving the mixing efficiency of the essential oil inside granulation and coating machine 2 before drying, thus avoiding large agglomeration problems during drying and improving the production quality of the device.
[0035] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
