Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable oil extraction technology, specifically to a rapid drying device for camellia seeds. Background Technology
[0002] Vegetable oil is a compound formed by the reaction of higher fatty acids and glycerol. It is widely distributed in nature and is obtained from the fruits, seeds, and germs of plants. Camellia seeds are high in saturated fatty acids and do not contain erucic acid, making them highly nutritious. Therefore, they can be used to extract vegetable oil. Before pressing, camellia seeds need to be cleaned and dried to improve the oil yield.
[0003] However, existing rapid drying equipment for camellia seeds still has the following drawbacks during use:
[0004] 1. Before drying, camellia seeds need to be washed to ensure the cleanliness of the oil. As a result, moisture will remain on the surface of the camellia seeds. During the heating and drying process, the camellia seeds are prone to sticking to the inner wall of the drying cylinder and cannot be turned over. This can easily lead to uneven drying and reduce the drying effect.
[0005] 2. When drying camellia seeds by turning them over, the turning speed cannot be precisely controlled. Therefore, from feeding to discharging, the drying time cannot be precisely controlled. Consequently, it is impossible to finely adjust the drying time according to the different moisture content of the camellia seeds themselves, which can easily lead to over-drying or under-drying, thus reducing the drying effect. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of uneven drying, the inability to precisely adjust the drying time according to the different moisture content of the camellia seeds, and the resulting over- or under-drying, which reduces the drying effect. This invention provides a rapid drying device for camellia seeds.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A rapid drying device for camellia seeds includes a drying cylinder. Supports are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the drying cylinder. A rotating drum is rotatably connected to the inside of the drying cylinder. Stirring blades are uniformly fixedly connected inside the rotating drum. A feeding hopper is fixedly installed on the front side of the drying cylinder, and a discharge hopper is fixedly installed on the rear side. A friction wheel is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the middle section of the rotating drum. A drive assembly is located at the lower left of the middle section of the drying cylinder. Push blocks are uniformly fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the rotating drum near the feeding hopper. An installation cylinder is fixedly installed at the top of the drying cylinder, located above the push blocks on the outer periphery of the rotating drum. A tapping post is slidably connected inside the installation cylinder, and a spring is fixedly connected between the top of the tapping post and the inner wall of the installation cylinder.
[0009] Furthermore, limiting wheels are symmetrically fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the outer periphery of the rotating drum, and ball bearings are uniformly connected to the outer periphery of the limiting wheels to reduce the frictional force of the rotating drum relative to the drying drum.
[0010] Furthermore, the feeding hopper is inclined downward from front to back, and the rear end of the feeding hopper extends backward into the interior of the front opening of the rotating drum, which facilitates the entry of camellia seeds into the interior of the rotating drum. The installation point of the discharge hopper and the rear side of the drying drum is located below the rear opening of the rotating drum, and the rear side of the discharge hopper is inclined downward, which facilitates the dried camellia seeds to fall and be collected from the rear side of the rotating drum.
[0011] Furthermore, the striking post extends inward to the outer side of the rotating cylinder, and the striking post is aligned with the push block. The bottom end of the striking post is a rubber block, so that as the push block rotates with the rotating cylinder, the rubber block at the bottom end of the striking post can intermittently strike the rotating cylinder.

A belt drives between the main pulley and the secondary pulley, enabling the rotation of the drive shaft to drive... The driven shaft rotates, and a drive wheel is fixedly installed on the periphery of the driven shaft. An adjusting plate is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the driving shaft and the driven shaft. The adjusting plate is located in front of the main pulley and the driven pulley. A threaded rod is rotatably connected to the center of the mounting cover, and the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the adjusting plate. Therefore, when the threaded rod rotates, it can drive the adjusting plate to move back and forth. A screw head is fixedly connected to the front end of the threaded rod, and the screw head is exposed at the front of the mounting cover, so that the threaded rod can be driven to rotate by using a hex wrench and the screw head at the front of the mounting cover.
[0013] Furthermore, the drive wheel is located to the lower left of the friction wheel, and the drive wheel is pressed and attached to the friction wheel. Therefore, when the drive wheel rotates, the action of the drive wheel and the friction wheel can drive the drum to rotate.
[0014] Furthermore, the main pulley is divided into front and rear parts. The rear part is fixedly installed with the drive shaft, and the front part is slidably connected to the drive shaft. The adjusting plate is located on the front part of the main pulley and is rotatably connected to the front part of the main pulley, so that the main pulley can rotate relative to the adjusting plate, and the adjusting plate can also drive the main pulley to move, thereby changing the transmission ratio between the main pulley and the driven pulley.
[0015] Furthermore, a heating furnace is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying drum, and the heating furnace heats the bottom of the drum by means of electric heating.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] A preferred embodiment of the present invention, a rapid drying device for camellia seeds, will be described in detail below, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, a rapid drying device for camellia seeds includes a drying cylinder 1. Supports 2 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the drying cylinder 1. A rotating cylinder 3 is rotatably connected inside the drying cylinder 1. Stirring blades 4 are uniformly fixedly connected inside the rotating cylinder 3. Limiting wheels 31 are symmetrically fixedly connected on the front and rear sides of the outer periphery of the rotating cylinder 3. Ball bearings are uniformly rolled around the outer periphery of the limiting wheels 31 to reduce the frictional force of the rotating cylinder 3 rotating relative to the drying cylinder 1.
[0030] A feeding hopper 5 is fixedly installed on the front side of the drying cylinder 1, and a discharging hopper 6 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the drying cylinder 1. The feeding hopper 5 is inclined downward from front to back, and the rear end of the feeding hopper 5 extends backward into the interior of the front opening of the rotating cylinder 3, which is conducive to the entry of camellia seeds into the interior of the rotating cylinder 3. The installation point of the discharging hopper 6 on the rear side of the drying cylinder 1 is located below the rear opening of the rotating cylinder 3, and the rear side of the discharging hopper 6 is inclined downward, which is conducive to the dried camellia seeds falling and being collected from the rear side of the rotating cylinder 3.
[0031] Friction wheels 7 are fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the middle part of the rotating drum 3. A drive assembly 8 is provided at the lower left of the middle part of the drying drum 1. Push blocks 9 are evenly fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the rotating drum 3 near the feeding hopper 5. An installation cylinder 10 is fixedly installed at the top of the drying drum 1. The installation cylinder 10 is located above the push blocks 9 on the outer periphery of the rotating drum 3. A knocking post 11 is slidably connected inside the installation cylinder 10. A spring 12 is fixedly connected between the top of the knocking post 11 and the inner wall of the installation cylinder 10. The knocking post 11 extends inward to the outer side of the rotating drum 3 and is aligned with the push blocks 9. The bottom end of the knocking post 11 is a rubber block, so that as the push blocks 9 rotate with the rotating drum 3, the rubber block at the bottom end of the knocking post 11 can intermittently knock the rotating drum 3.
[0032] A heating furnace 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying drum 1. The heating furnace 13 heats the bottom of the rotating drum 3 by means of electric heating.
[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figures 4-8 As shown, the drive assembly 8 includes a mounting cover 81. The mounting cover 81 is fixedly installed on the lower left side of the outer side of the middle part of the drying cylinder 1. The lower left side inside the mounting cover 81 is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 82. The rear end of the mounting cover 81 is fixedly installed with a motor 83, and the motor 83 is connected to the drive shaft 82 for driving the drive shaft 82 to rotate.
[0034] A main pulley 84 is fixedly mounted on the periphery of the drive shaft 82. A driven shaft 85 is rotatably connected to the upper right side inside the mounting cover 81. A driven pulley 86 is fixedly mounted on the periphery of the driven shaft 85. A belt 87 is connected between the main pulley 84 and the driven pulley 86, so that the rotation of the drive shaft 82 can drive the driven shaft 85 to rotate. A drive wheel 88 is fixedly mounted on the periphery of the driven shaft 85. The drive wheel 88 is located to the lower left of the friction wheel 7, and the drive wheel 88 is pressed and attached to the friction wheel 7. Therefore, when the drive wheel 88 rotates, the action of the drive wheel 88 and the friction wheel 7 can drive the rotating drum 3 to rotate.
[0035] An adjusting plate 89 is provided for the peripheral limiting sliding connection between the drive shaft 82 and the driven shaft 85. The main pulley 84 is divided into front and rear parts. The rear part is fixedly installed with the drive shaft 82, and the front part is limited and slidably connected with the drive shaft 82. The adjusting plate 89 is located at the front part of the main pulley 84 and is limited and rotatably connected with the front part of the main pulley 84, so that the main pulley 84 can rotate relative to the adjusting plate 89, and the adjusting plate 89 can also drive the main pulley 84 to move, thereby changing the transmission ratio between the main pulley 84 and the driven pulley 86.
[0036] The adjusting plate 89 is located in front of the main pulley 84 and the driven pulley 86. The threaded rod 810 is connected to the central limiting main rotation inside the mounting cover 81, and the threaded rod 810 is threadedly connected to the adjusting plate 89. Therefore, when the threaded rod 810 rotates, it can drive the adjusting plate 89 to move back and forth. The front end of the threaded rod 810 is fixedly connected to the screw head 811, and the screw head 811 is exposed at the front of the mounting cover 81, which makes it easy to drive the threaded rod 810 to rotate by using a hex wrench and the screw head 811 at the front of the mounting cover 81.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0038] When drying the cleaned camellia seeds, the motor 83 is started first, which drives the drive shaft 82 to rotate. When the drive shaft 82 rotates, the belt 87 between the main pulley 84 on the periphery of the drive shaft 82 and the driven pulley 86 on the periphery of the driven shaft 85 can drive the driven shaft 85 to rotate. In turn, the driven shaft 85 drives the drive wheel 88 to rotate. By using the squeezing and adhesion between the drive wheel 88 and the friction wheel 7, the rotating drum 3 can be driven to rotate inside the drying drum 1.
[0039] Then, the heating furnace 13 at the bottom of the drying drum 1 is powered on to heat the bottom of the rotating drum 3. At this time, the washed camellia seeds are added into the interior of the rotating drum 3 through the feeding hopper 5. During the rotation of the rotating drum 3, the design of the stirring blades 4 inside the rotating drum 3 can turn the camellia seeds over and dry them, and also push the camellia seeds to the rear, so that the dried camellia seeds flow out from the rear of the rotating drum 3 and are collected through the discharge hopper 6.
[0040] During the rotation and tumbling drying process of the rotating drum 3, the pusher 9 and the tapping column 11 work together to intermittently push the tapping column 11 upwards. When the push stops, the tapping column 11 will pop out downwards under the action of the spring 12, and then intermittently tap the rotating drum 3 from above. In the early stage of drying, when the moisture on the surface of the camellia seeds has not completely evaporated, the tapping column 11 taps the rotating drum 3 to detach the camellia seeds that are stuck to the inner wall of the rotating drum 3, keep the camellia seeds tumbling, and improve the uniformity of drying of the camellia seeds.
[0041] When the drying time needs to be adjusted according to the different moisture content of the camellia seeds, the design of the screw head 811 at the front end of the threaded rod 810 allows a hex wrench to drive the threaded rod 810 to rotate. During the rotation of the threaded rod 810, the threaded connection between the threaded rod 810 and the adjusting plate 89 enables the adjusting plate 89 to move back and forth. The limiting rotation connection between the adjusting plate 89 and the front part of the main pulley 84 enables the front part of the main pulley 84 to move back and forth. The compression of the belt 87 by the front and rear parts of the main pulley 84, as well as the elastic extension and contraction of the belt 87, changes the transmission ratio between the main pulley 84 and the driven pulley 86. This allows for a more precise change in the rotational speed of the driven shaft 85 and the drive wheel 88, and thus the rotational speed of the drive drum 3. Consequently, the speed at which the stirring blades 4 push the camellia seeds when the drum 3 rotates is changed, allowing for a more precise adjustment of the residence time of the camellia seeds inside the drum 3, avoiding over-drying or under-drying.
[0042] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
