Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lotus root starch production technology, and in particular to a drying device for lotus root starch production. Background Technology
[0002] Lotus root starch is a powdery product made from lotus root through processes such as grinding, washing, rinsing, and drying. Its basic component is starch. Starch is a polysaccharide composed of many glucose molecules. It is insoluble in cold water, but when mixed with boiling water, it swells and becomes a viscous, translucent paste, exhibiting a thick consistency and a phenomenon known as "gelatinization."
[0003] In existing drying equipment, when workers feed lotus root powder, the powder is in powder form and is prone to clumping. This clumping adheres to the feeding point, causing resource waste or even blockage, thus affecting the normal operation of the machine. Utility Model Content

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] Please see Figure 1-5As shown, this embodiment is a drying device for lotus root starch production, comprising:
[0039] Main components: The main components include the box body 11, the drying box 12, the discharge pipe 13 and the feeding box 14;
[0040] The drying chamber 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the chamber body 11, the discharge pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the drying chamber 12, the feeding box 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the discharge pipe 13, and the feeding bin 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding box 14.
[0041] The main components also include a feeding hopper 15;
[0042] The feeding hopper 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding box 14;
[0043] The feeding hopper 15 provides space for adding lotus root starch, and the feeding box 14 provides space for installing the feeding assembly;
[0044] The feeding pipe 13 evaporates the moisture in the lotus root powder and discharges it outside the chamber through heating and dehumidification, thereby achieving the drying effect. The heating element generates heat when energized, raising the temperature inside the chamber. Users can set the temperature as needed to achieve precise drying of the lotus root powder. In addition, a vacuum pump can be used to extract the air from the chamber 11 to reduce the air pressure, while heating the lotus root powder to promote the evaporation of moisture and solvents. Vacuum drying can be achieved at a lower temperature, avoiding damage to the lotus root powder from high temperatures, while preventing oxidation and contamination, and improving the drying effect and sample quality.
[0045] All of the above parts are existing technologies;
[0046] The feeding assembly includes a housing 21, a hydraulic rod 22, a toothed plate 23, a through groove 24, and a pusher plate 29.
[0047] The housing 21 is fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the feeding box 14, the hydraulic rod 22 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the feeding box 14, the pusher plate 29 is fixedly connected to one end of the hydraulic rod 22, the toothed plate 23 is fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the pusher plate 29, and the through groove 24 is opened on both sides of the outer wall of the feeding box 14.
[0048] The feeding assembly also includes a half gear 25, a knocking plate 26, a guide rod 27, and a feeding plate 28;
[0049] Half gear 25 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of housing 21, knocking plate 26 is fixedly connected to one end of half gear 25, transmission rod 27 is fixedly connected to both sides of the front end of feeding box 14, and feeding plate 28 is fixedly connected to the connection between feeding box 14 and feeding pipe 13.
[0050] The housing 21 provides space for mounting the half gear 25 and the knocking plate 26, the through slot 24 provides space for sliding the toothed plate 23, the toothed plate 23 and the half gear 25 are arranged on the same central axis, and the feed plate 28 and the push plate 29 are arranged on the same central axis.
[0051] With the auxiliary cooperation between the hydraulic rod 22 and the pusher plate 29, the pusher plate 29 can be slid by starting the hydraulic rod 22, which can push the lotus root starch out of the container while driving the knocking plate 26 to repeatedly knock the transmission rod 27.
[0052] Working principle: When the staff feeds the lotus root starch;
[0053] First, the staff can start the hydraulic rod 22 to work, which can drive the pusher plate 29 installed at one end to slide repeatedly inside the feeding box 14, so that the lotus root powder accumulated inside the feeding box 14 can be pushed out through the discharge plate 28 to the inside of the discharge pipe 13.
[0054] Next, the pusher plate 29 can slide while driving the two sets of toothed plates 23 to slide repeatedly inside the through groove 24, so that the toothed plates 23 and the half gear 25 can mesh and connect, and the half gear 25 can rotate while driving the knocking plate 26 to repeatedly knock the transmission rod 27 on the same central axis.
[0055] This step helps staff push the lotus root starch into the feeder while preventing it from sticking to the feeder plate 28, thus avoiding resource waste and preventing the starch from clogging the feeder.
[0056] Please see Figure 2-4 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, also includes a collection component;
[0057] The collection components include a collection box 31, a rack 32, a guide rail 33, and a rotating gear 34;
[0058] The collection box 31 is slidably connected to the inside of the box body 11, the rack 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 31 and pulled, the guide rail 33 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the box body 11, and the rotating gear 34 is rotatably connected to the center of the inner wall of the guide rail 33.

[0060] The partition 36 is slidably connected to the inner top wall of the housing 11, and the toothed block 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the partition 36.
[0061] The rack 32 and the tooth block 35 are arranged on the same central axis, and the guide rail 33 is used to provide space for the rotation of the rotating gear 34. The tooth block 35 and the rotating gear 34 are arranged on the same central axis.
[0062] By rotating the gear 34 and the guide rail 33, the partition 36 can be slid in the opposite direction of the collection box 31 while the collection box 31 is pulled outward, thus forming a barrier at the discharge end of the drying box 12.
[0063] Working principle: When staff collect the dried lotus root powder;
[0064] First, by pulling out the collection box 31, the staff can make the collection box 31 drive the rack 32 and the rotating gear 34 installed at the top to mesh and connect, so that the rotating gear 34 can rotate inside the guide rail 33.
[0065] Next, the rotating gear 34 and the tooth block 35 can be meshed and connected, and the partition plate 36 with the tooth block 35 installed at the bottom end can slide vertically and form a barrier at the discharge end of the drying box 12.
[0066] This step helps staff retrieve the collected lotus root starch and prevents any residual starch from falling into the dead corners of the device.
