Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of distributor technology, specifically a hot air uniform distributor for an inulin drying tower. Background Technology
[0002] An inulin drying tower is a device specifically designed for drying inulin. It typically consists of a hot air system, a tower body, and a feeding system. The hot air system comprises a hot air generating device, hot air pipes, and a hot air distributor, which guides the airflow direction.
[0003] In normal use, hot air is generated by a hot air generator and pushed into a hot air duct. The hot air is then transported through the duct to the inside of a hot air distributor, which then distributes the hot air. Traditional hot air distributors are usually fixed in their hot air distribution. If adjustments are needed, the machine must be stopped and the air guide plate adjusted. This results in a relatively uniform airflow direction and a relatively low airflow range during the drying process, which can easily create drying dead zones and lead to uneven drying. Therefore, it is necessary to design a more practical and versatile hot air distributor for inulin drying towers. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a hot air uniform distributor for an inulin drying tower, comprising a fixed frame 1, a distribution frame 2 rotatably fitted on the inner wall of the fixed frame 1, a plurality of rotating rods 3 rotatably fitted on the inner wall of the distribution frame 2, an air guide plate 4 fixedly connected to each of the plurality of rotating rods 3, a deflecting plate 5 slidably fitted on one side of the distribution frame 2, and a plurality of deflecting pieces 6 cooperating with the air guide plate 4 fixedly connected to the lower side of the deflecting plate 5, each set of deflecting pieces 6 having two small plates for deflecting, the two small plates being located on both sides of the air guide plate 4;
[0023] An extension plate 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the distribution frame 2. A striking rod 8 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the extension plate 7. A striking gear 9 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the striking rod 8. A wedge block 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the striking rod 8. A receiving block 11 that cooperates with the wedge block 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the actuating plate 5. A spring 12 is provided between the receiving block 11 and the distribution frame 2. An internal gear 13 that meshes with the striking gear 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 1. An air inlet assembly 14 is provided on the upper side of the distribution frame 2. A drive assembly 15 that cooperates with the air inlet assembly 14 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the fixed frame 1.
[0024] Please see Figure 1The air intake assembly 14 includes an air inlet 141 opened on the upper side of the distribution frame 2, an air intake pipe 142 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet 141, and an outer pipe 143 rotatably fitted on the upper end of the air intake pipe 142. The air intake pipe 142 and the outer pipe 143 are connected by a sealed bearing. During the air guiding process of the outer pipe 143, the rotation of the air intake pipe 142 is not affected, and at the same time, it can drive the distribution frame 2 to rotate inside the fixed frame 1.
[0025] Please see Figure 2 The drive assembly 15 includes two connecting blocks 151 fixedly connected to the upper side of the fixed frame 1, a mounting plate 152 fixedly connected to the upper side of the two connecting blocks 151, a drive motor 153 fixedly connected to the upper side of one of the two mounting plates 152, a drive gear 154 fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 153, and a driven gear 155 fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe 142 and meshing with the drive gear 154. It can be fixed to the drying tower through the mounting plate 152 on the connecting blocks 151. The drive motor 153 drives the drive gear 154 to rotate, and the drive gear 154 drives the driven gear 155 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation operation of the air inlet pipe 142 and realizing the overall drive.
[0026] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The inner wall of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a guide groove 16. Two guide blocks 17 that slide in cooperation with the guide groove 16 are fixedly connected to both sides of the distribution frame 2. By sliding the guide blocks 17 inside the guide groove 16, the distribution frame 2 can be located inside the fixed frame 1 and can slide freely.
[0027] Please see Figure 2 A high-temperature resistant bonding pad 18 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting plate 152. Mounting holes 19 are opened on the upper side of both mounting plates 152 and the high-temperature resistant bonding pad 18. The high-temperature resistant bonding pad 18 is fixed on the upper side of the mounting plate 152. It is mainly used to cope with the high temperature environment inside the inulin drying tower, which can help enhance the tightness of the fit with the installation position.
[0028] Please see Figure 3 A guide rod 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the distribution frame 2, and a limiting block 21 that slides with the guide rod 20 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the impact block 11. When the impact block 11 is subjected to an impact force, its guide rod 20 will slide accordingly inside the limiting block 21, thereby guiding the toggle plate 5 and the impact block 11 to move back and forth.
[0029] Please see Figure 2 A protective plate 22 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the distribution frame 2. The protective plate 22 is in contact with the fixed frame 1. The lower side of the protective plate 22 has an opening that matches the distribution frame 2 and is in contact with the fixed frame 1, thereby achieving a certain degree of sealing between the fixed frame 1 and the distribution frame 2.
[0030] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: When in use, the device is first installed on the corresponding drying tower through the mounting plate 152, and then connected to the hot air generating device through the hot air pipe through the external pipe 143. When hot air is injected, it enters the interior of the distribution frame 2 through the air inlet pipe 142 from the external pipe 143, and the air direction is guided by multiple rotating rods 3.
[0031] During the guiding process, after the drive motor 153 is started, the drive gear 154 at its output end begins to rotate. Since the drive gear 154 meshes with the driven gear 155 on the air inlet pipe 142, it drives the driven gear 155, the air inlet pipe 142, and the distribution frame 2 to rotate. During the rotation of the distribution frame 2, the extension plate 7 also rotates, which in turn drives the striking rod 8 to rotate together. The striking gear 9 on the striking rod 8 meshes with the internal gear 13 fixed on the inner wall of the fixed frame 1. During the rotation, the striking gear 9 rolls along the internal gear 13. Since the internal gear 13 is fixed, this drives the striking rod 8 to rotate around the connection point between itself and the extension plate 7.
[0032] During rotation, the inclined block 10 at the upper end of the striking rod 8 interacts with the impact block 11 at one end of the actuating plate 5. Simultaneously, a spring 12 is installed between the impact block 11 and the distribution frame 2, and the limiting block 21 on the upper side of the impact block 11 slides with the guide rod 20 on one side of the distribution frame 2, guiding and restricting the movement of the impact block 11. This ensures that when the striking rod 8 rotates, the inclined block 10 periodically impacts the impact block 11. Under the combined action of the impact force and the elastic force of the spring 12, the actuating plate 5 reciprocates along the sliding engagement direction with the distribution frame 2, causing the multiple sets of actuating plates fixedly connected to its lower side to move. 6 will periodically touch the air guide plate 4 during reciprocating motion, so that the air guide plate 4 can also swing at a certain angle on the basis of rotating with the rotating rod 3. This further enriches the guiding angle and method of the air guide plate 4 for hot air, allowing the hot air to be dispersed more finely in different directions. This achieves a more complex and diverse air guiding effect in three-dimensional space. Compared with the traditional fixed air guiding method, it can make the hot air more evenly distributed in the entire drying tower, ensuring that the inulin material can receive relatively balanced hot air no matter where it is in the tower, thereby improving the uniformity of inulin drying and the consistency of product quality.
