Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fragrance processing technology, and in particular to a processing apparatus for preparing fragrance microcapsules. Background Technology
[0002] Flavor microcapsules are made by encapsulating raw materials such as fragrances and plant essential oils with special materials using modern technology to form microcapsule emulsions. After being treated with fragrance agents, the fragrance lasts much longer. Microcapsule fragrance finishing agents not only improve the atmosphere and make people feel good, but also have a variety of psychological and physiological health care functions such as sterilization and refreshing.
[0003] After production, flavor microcapsules generally need to be dried to remove moisture from the surface and inside of the microcapsules, ensuring their stability and extending their shelf life. Existing technologies use heat drying equipment to dry flavor microcapsules, but it is difficult to precisely control the contact time between the flavor microcapsules and the hot air. This results in some flavor microcapsules being over-dried and others being under-dried, and it is difficult to apply to different flavor microcapsules or different drying requirements, affecting the overall drying effect.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a processing apparatus for preparing flavor microcapsules to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a preparation and processing apparatus for flavor microcapsules to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution to the above technical problems: a processing apparatus for flavor microcapsules, comprising a shell, both ends of which are open, and multiple inclined guide plates connected to the two opposite inner sidewalls of the shell, with the two rows of inclined guide plates being staggered relative to each other. A shaft rod rotatably connected to the sidewall of the shell is fixed to one end of each inclined guide plate. An adjustment component for adjusting the angle of the inclined guide plates is provided on the outside of the shell, and a drying component is provided on the side of the shell.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting component includes a gear fixed to the end of the shaft and located outside the housing. Two vertical rods are arranged along the height direction of the housing outside the housing, and each of the two vertical rods is provided with meshing teeth that mesh with the gear.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an electric push rod is fixed on the outer side wall of the outer shell, and a connecting rod is fixed on the output end of the electric push rod. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively fixed to two vertical rods.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the drying assembly includes a blower plate fixed inside the side wall of the outer shell. Multiple blower plates are provided, spaced apart between adjacent inclined guide plates. A cavity is formed inside each blower plate. A blower hole communicating with the cavity is formed on the side of the blower plate near the center of the outer shell. Multiple blower holes are provided, equidistantly distributed. Branch pipes are connected to each of the multiple blower plates. The ends of the multiple branch pipes furthest from the blower plates are connected to a main air duct. An air inlet pipe is connected to the main air duct.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a mesh plate is provided on the side of the outer shell away from the blower plate, and an exhaust port is fixed inside the mesh plate.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two symmetrically distributed support rods are fixed on the outer side wall of the outer shell, and a base plate is fixed to the bottom end of the two support rods. A collection box is placed on the top surface of the base plate.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a hopper communicating with the interior of the outer shell is fixed on the top of the outer shell.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. The multiple inclined guide plates create an S-shaped path for the flavor microcapsule particles to roll downwards inside the shell, effectively extending the rolling path of the flavor microcapsule particles and increasing the contact time between the flavor microcapsule particles and the hot air. This ensures that the hot air and flavor microcapsule particles are in full contact, thus improving the drying effect of the flavor microcapsule particles.
[0015] 2. The tilt angle of multiple inclined guide plates is synchronously adjusted by the set adjustment components, thereby adjusting the speed at which the flavor microcapsule particles roll down inside the shell, and thus adjusting the contact time between the flavor microcapsule particles and the hot air. This is suitable for drying different flavor microcapsule particles or meeting different drying needs, effectively improving the overall practicality.
[0016] 3. Hot air is evenly and finely blown onto the flavor microcapsule particles rolling inside the shell through the set drying components, drying the flavor microcapsule particles with hot air to remove moisture from the surface and inside of the microcapsules. This promotes the curing of the microcapsule wall material, enhances the mechanical strength of the microcapsules, ensures the stability of the microcapsules, and extends their shelf life. At the same time, the airflow blows away dust particles and impurities trapped in the flavor microcapsule particles, improving the purity of the flavor microcapsule particles and providing auxiliary impurity removal.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-8This invention provides a processing apparatus for preparing flavor microcapsules, including a shell 3 with openings at both ends. Multiple inclined guide plates 10 are connected to the two opposite inner sidewalls of the shell 3, and the two rows of inclined guide plates 10 are staggered. A shaft 11, rotatably connected to the sidewall of the shell 3, is fixed to one end of each inclined guide plate 10. An adjustment component 1 for adjusting the angle of the inclined guide plates 10 is provided on the outside of the shell 3. A drying component 2 is provided on the side of the shell 3. In use, flavor microcapsule particles are inserted into the shell 3 through the top opening, causing them to fall automatically inside. Simultaneously, the drying component 2 blows hot air evenly and finely onto the rolling flavor microcapsule particles inside the shell 3, drying them to remove moisture from the surface and interior of the microcapsules. This promotes the curing of the microcapsule wall material, enhances the mechanical strength of the microcapsules, and ensures the microcapsule... The system improves the stability of the capsules and extends their shelf life. Simultaneously, airflow removes dust particles and impurities trapped within the flavor microcapsules, increasing their purity and aiding in impurity removal. As the flavor microcapsules roll downwards inside the outer shell 3, multiple inclined guide plates 10 ensure they follow an S-shaped path, effectively extending their rolling path and increasing the contact time between the microcapsules and hot air. This ensures sufficient contact and improves the drying effect. The adjustable components 1 synchronously adjust the tilt angles of the multiple inclined guide plates 10, thereby regulating the rolling speed of the flavor microcapsules inside the outer shell 3 and adjusting the contact time with hot air. This system is suitable for drying different flavor microcapsules or meeting various drying needs, effectively improving overall practicality.
[0030] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, it is worth noting that the adjusting assembly 1 includes a gear 103 fixed to the end of the shaft 11 and located outside the housing 3. Two vertical rods 101 are arranged along the height of the housing 3 on its exterior. Each of the two vertical rods 101 has meshing teeth 102 that mesh with the gear 103. An electric push rod 105 is fixed to the outer wall of the housing 3. A connecting rod 104 is fixed to the output end of the electric push rod 105, and both ends of the connecting rod 104 are fixed to the two vertical rods 101 respectively. In actual operation, the adjustment assembly 1 is adjusted by... The output end of the electric push rod 105 drives the connecting rod 104 to move and adjust, thereby driving the two vertical rods 101 to move and adjust synchronously through the connecting rod 104. Then, through the cooperation of multiple sets of meshing teeth 102 and gears 103, the tilt angle of multiple inclined guide plates 10 is adjusted synchronously, thereby adjusting the speed at which the flavor microcapsule particles roll down inside the shell 3, thereby adjusting the contact time between the flavor microcapsule particles and the hot air. This is suitable for drying different flavor microcapsule particles or meeting different drying needs, effectively improving the overall practicality.
[0031] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, it is worth noting that the drying assembly 2 includes a blower plate 201 fixed inside the side wall of the outer casing 3. Multiple blower plates 201 are provided and spaced apart between adjacent inclined guide plates 10. A cavity 202 is formed inside each blower plate 201. Blower holes 203 communicating with the cavity 202 are formed on the side of the blower plate 201 near the center of the outer casing 3. Multiple blower holes 203 are provided and equidistantly distributed. Branch pipes 204 are connected to each of the multiple blower plates 201. The ends of the multiple branch pipes 204 away from the blower plates 201 are connected to a main air duct 205. An air inlet pipe 206 is connected to the main air duct 205. An external hot air blower (06) delivers hot air to the main air duct (205) through the air inlet pipe (206) and to multiple air blowers (201) through multiple branch pipes (204). The hot air is then evenly and finely blown out through multiple air holes (203) onto the flavor microcapsule particles rolling inside the outer shell (3), drying the flavor microcapsule particles with hot air to remove moisture from the surface and inside of the microcapsules. This promotes the curing of the microcapsule wall material, enhances the mechanical strength of the microcapsules, ensures the stability of the microcapsules, and extends their shelf life. At the same time, the airflow removes dust particles and impurities trapped in the flavor microcapsule particles, improving the purity of the flavor microcapsule particles and providing auxiliary impurity removal.
[0032] This solution includes the following working process: Flavor microcapsules are introduced into the interior of the outer shell 3 through the top opening; hot air is delivered to the main air duct 205 via the air inlet duct 206, and further delivered to multiple blower plates 201 via multiple branch pipes 204; thus, the hot air is evenly and finely blown out through multiple blow holes 203 onto the flavor microcapsules rolling inside the outer shell 3, drying the flavor microcapsules to remove moisture from their surface and interior. Simultaneously, the airflow removes dust particles and impurities trapped within the flavor microcapsules. The multiple inclined guide plates 10, acting as baffles, cause the flavor microcapsules to move in an S-shape inside the outer shell 3. The downward rolling path effectively extends the rolling path of the flavor microcapsule particles, increasing the contact time between the flavor microcapsule particles and the hot air, ensuring sufficient contact between the hot air and the flavor microcapsule particles. The output end of the electric push rod 105 drives the connecting rod 104 to move and adjust, thereby driving the two vertical rods 101 to move and adjust synchronously. In turn, multiple sets of meshing teeth 102 and gears 103 work together to synchronously adjust the tilt angle of multiple inclined guide plates 10, thereby adjusting the rolling speed of the flavor microcapsule particles inside the shell 3. This allows for adjustment of the contact time between the flavor microcapsule particles and the hot air, making it suitable for drying different flavor microcapsule particles or meeting different drying requirements.
[0033] Further as Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that a mesh plate 9 is provided on the side of the outer shell 3 away from the blower plate 201, and an exhaust port 8 is fixed inside the mesh plate 9. In actual operation, the mesh plate 9 facilitates the rapid discharge of water vapor inside the outer shell 3, and the exhaust port 8 prevents the fragrance microcapsule particles from falling out.
[0034] Further as Figure 1 As shown, it is worth noting that two symmetrically distributed support rods 5 are fixed on the outer side wall of the outer shell 3. The bottom ends of the two support rods 5 are jointly fixed to a base plate 6, and a collection box 7 is placed on the top surface of the base plate 6. In actual operation, the fragrance microcapsule particles are collected through the collection box 7 for easy transfer.
[0035] Further as Figure 1 As shown, it is worth noting that a hopper 4, which communicates with the interior of the outer shell 3, is fixed on the top of the outer shell 3.
[0036] In summary: As the flavor microcapsule particles roll downwards inside the outer shell 3, the multiple inclined guide plates 10 ensure that the particles roll downwards in an S-shape, effectively extending the rolling path and increasing the contact time between the particles and the hot air. This ensures sufficient contact between the hot air and the particles, improving the drying effect. Furthermore, the adjustable components 1 synchronously adjust the tilt angles of the multiple inclined guide plates 10, thereby regulating the rolling speed of the microcapsules inside the outer shell 3 and adjusting the contact time between the particles and the hot air. This method is suitable for drying different flavor microcapsules or meeting various drying needs, effectively improving overall practicality.
