[0019] 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.

[0020] Example 1: A low-temperature drying device for lotus root starch (see example 1). Figures 1-3 The system includes a drying cylinder 1, a cover plate 2, an air inlet pipe 3, and a baffle plate 4. The top of the drying cylinder 1 is covered by the cover plate 2. Two air inlet pipes 3 are connected and communicate with the outside of the drying cylinder 1. The bottom of the drying cylinder 1 is threaded with a baffle plate 4. The system also includes a servo motor 5, a stirring frame 6, and a scraping mechanism. The servo motor 5 is mounted on the top of the cover plate 2. The output shaft of the servo motor 5 is connected to the stirring frame 6. The stirring frame 6 is equipped with a scraping mechanism, which is used to scrape off the wet lotus root powder adhering to the inner wall of the drying cylinder 1. The scraping mechanism includes a sleeve 7, a scraper plate 8, and a limiting block 10. The sleeve 7 is mounted on the stirring frame 6, and a fixed... A scraper 8 is connected and is tightly attached to the inner wall of the drying cylinder 1. A limiting block 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve 7, and the bottom of the limiting block 10 contacts the cover plate 2. An anti-stick plate 9 is provided on the scraper 8 to prevent wet lotus root powder from sticking to the scraper 8. A protective sleeve 11 is fitted on the outside of the sleeve 7 and contacts the cover plate 2 to prevent the sleeve 7 from directly contacting the cover plate 2 when rotating. The blades of the stirring frame 6 are spiral blades. The spiral structure can generate an upward lifting force to transport and throw the material at the bottom upward, enhance the contact area and uniformity between the lotus root powder and the low temperature hot air, and avoid uneven drying or local overheating caused by the accumulation of lotus root powder.

[0021] When this device is needed, open the cover plate 2 and pour the wet lotus root powder into the drying cylinder 1. After pouring, close the cover plate 2 and connect the air outlet pipe and air inlet pipe 3 of the external drying equipment. The low-temperature hot air generated by the external drying equipment enters the drying cylinder 1 through the two air inlet pipes 3. Start the servo motor 5. The output shaft of the servo motor 5 rotates, driving the stirring frame 6 to rotate, stirring and mixing the wet lotus root powder in the drying cylinder 1. The wet lotus root powder particles are continuously lifted and dispersed under the action of the stirring frame 6, fully exposed to the incoming low-temperature hot air. The heat carried by the hot air is transferred to the lotus root powder particles, making them... The internal moisture evaporates, thus achieving low-temperature drying of the wet lotus root powder. When the stirring rack 6 rotates, it drives the sleeve 7 set on it to rotate, which in turn drives the scraper 8 to rotate together. The scraper 8 moves closely against the inner wall of the drying cylinder 1, effectively scraping off the wet lotus root powder adhering to the inner wall, preventing the lotus root powder from clumping and gelatinizing, and keeping the inner wall clean to maintain heat transfer efficiency and drying uniformity. After drying is completed, the external drying equipment and servo motor 5 are turned off, and the hot air supply and stirring are stopped. After the temperature inside the cylinder drops appropriately, the baffle plate 4 is unscrewed, and the dried lotus root powder can be discharged from the opening at the bottom of the drying cylinder 1.

[0022] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 It also includes a filter rack 12, a top cover 13 and a dehumidifying rod 14. Four filter racks 12 are provided on the cover plate 2. The top cover 13 covers the top of the filter racks 12. The dehumidifying rod 14 is provided at the bottom of the top cover 13. When the dehumidifying rod 14 needs to be replaced, the top cover 13 is pulled up to remove the dehumidifying rod 14 together for replacement.

[0023] The water vapor generated during the drying process rises with the hot air, forming humid air. This humid air flows upward and is discharged through the filter frame 12 on the cover plate 2. The filter frame 12 can effectively prevent the powder in the drying cylinder from being carried out by the rising airflow. During the discharge process, the humid air comes into contact with the dehumidification rod 14 inside the filter frame 12. The dehumidification rod 14 dehumidifies the discharged humid air, thereby helping to reduce the humidity of the discharged gas, maintain a low humidity environment inside the drying cylinder, and improve drying efficiency.

[0024] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
