Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of garlic processing technology, specifically relating to a dehydrated garlic particle separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Dehydrated garlic granules are highly susceptible to absorbing moisture during storage and transportation due to changes in ambient humidity. Garlic itself contains a large amount of hydrophilic substances, such as polysaccharides and proteins. When the relative humidity exceeds 60%, the garlic powder rapidly absorbs moisture, causing its moisture content to increase from the initial 3%-5% to over 8%. In traditional screening operations, existing equipment generally lacks effective humidity control mechanisms and often employs open screening structures, directly exposing the garlic powder to the workshop environment. For example, during the rainy season in southern China, the ambient humidity in the dehydrated garlic screening workshop of a large food processing plant often reaches over 80%, causing the garlic powder to continuously absorb moisture during the screening process, with its moisture content increasing by approximately 1.5% per hour.

[0003] Garlic powder's absorption of moisture not only alters its physicochemical properties but also directly impacts product quality. Moisture-absorbing garlic powder is prone to clumping, leading to flavor loss, darkening of color, and a significantly increased risk of microbial growth. Garlic powder with a moisture content exceeding 8% exhibits a lower allicin content than the standard value, affecting product flavor. Furthermore, clumped garlic powder is difficult to disperse evenly during food processing, resulting in inconsistent taste and quality in the final product.

[0004] The negative impact of garlic powder clumping on screening efficiency is even more pronounced. Traditional screening equipment relies heavily on mechanical vibration to achieve particle grading, but clumped garlic powder can clog the screen mesh, hindering the screening process. Taking a common 100-mesh screen as an example, when the moisture content of the garlic powder exceeds 7%, the screen clogging speed increases significantly, leading to increased equipment maintenance costs and shortening the service life of key components such as the vibrating motor and the screen. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a dehydrated garlic granule separation device, which solves the problem that existing garlic granule separation equipment lacks an effective humidity control mechanism, causing garlic powder to easily absorb moisture and clump together. This not only leads to loss of product flavor and decline in quality, but also clogs the screen, reduces screening efficiency, and increases equipment maintenance costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a dehydrated garlic granule separation device, comprising a frame, the top of a spring connected to the side of the frame, the bottom of the spring fixed to a support leg, a fixed plate fixed to one end of the top of the frame, a slot on the fixed plate connecting to the discharge port of a star-shaped discharge valve, a partition fixed inside the frame, fine and coarse screens laid inside the frame on both sides of the partition, a discharge trough formed at the bottom of the frame below the fine and coarse screens, a vibrating motor installed on the frame, a cover plate covering the slot on one side of the fixed plate, one end of the cover plate being rotatably connected to the frame via a hinge, the other end of the cover plate being connected to the frame via a latch, a drying component installed on the cover plate, a guide trough connected to the end of the frame away from the fixed plate, and the opening of the guide trough being connected to the inlet of a second star-shaped discharge valve.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The use of star-shaped discharge valve one and star-shaped discharge valve two can form a cavity inside the frame through which air is discharged only through the discharge chute, so that the hot air conveyed by the drying component is discharged along with the sieved garlic powder, keeping the garlic powder dry while avoiding excessive humidity of the garlic powder from affecting the sieving effect; the cover plate can be opened easily, making it convenient for personnel to clean the fine screen and the coarse screen.

[0008] To intuitively and accurately determine whether fine and coarse screens need cleaning;

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a pressure gauge is installed on the cover plate.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the pressure gauge can monitor and intuitively provide feedback on the air pressure in the inner cavity of the frame above the fine and coarse screens. When the screen holes of the fine and coarse screens are severely blocked, the air pressure in the cavity will increase accordingly, and personnel can open the cover to clean the fine and coarse screens.

[0011] To ensure the stability of the cover plate installation;

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the number of latches is multiple, and the lock body of the latch is fixed on the frame, and the latch of the latch is fixed on the cover plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the cover plate can be securely connected to the frame through multiple latches, thus better sealing the slots of the frame.

[0014] In order to smoothly discharge the material retained by the fine and coarse screens;

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the guide trough is a trough structure with openings on the side and bottom. The end face of the frame is provided with a through groove that is flush with the inner wall of the groove on the side of the guide trough. The bottom of the groove at the end of the frame is on the same plane as the top surface of the fine screen, the coarse screen, and the partition.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the material retained by the fine and coarse screens can smoothly slide into the guide chute through the slots opened on the frame, and then be discharged through the star-shaped discharge valve.

[0017] In order to effectively maintain the dryness of garlic powder through the use of drying components;

[0018] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the drying component includes an outer shell, which is fixed on a cover plate. The cover plate has a slot that is flush with the inner wall of the slot of the outer shell. A fan is installed on the outer shell and has a slot that is opposite to the air duct of the fan. An electric heating wire is installed inside the outer shell.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: when the fan is working, it draws in external air and blows it onto the garlic powder below. The flowing air is heated by the heating wire, thereby drying the garlic powder and preventing the garlic powder from absorbing moisture and affecting its sieving properties.

[0020] To ensure the operational stability of the drying components;

[0021] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a temperature sensor is installed on the inner wall of the outer casing below the heating wire, and the heating wire and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to a temperature controller.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the use of a thermostat and a temperature sensor allows the air to be heated to a stable range by the heating wire, thus ensuring the drying quality of the garlic powder.

[0023] To ensure the material moves smoothly in the direction of the guide trough during vibration;

[0024] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the top surfaces of the fine screen, the coarse screen, and the partition are on the same plane, and the plane slopes from top to bottom in the direction from the fine screen to the coarse screen.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: when the frame vibrates under the drive of the vibrating motor and the support of the spring, the material rolls along the inclined surfaces of the fine screen and the coarse screen, thereby achieving material screening.

[0026] The parts of the device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] like Figure 1—3 shows a dehydrated garlic granule separation device, including a frame 1. The top of a spring 2 is connected to the side of the frame 1, and the bottom of the spring 2 is fixed to a support leg 3. A fixing plate 4 is fixed to one end of the top of the frame 1. The fixing plate 4 has a slot that connects to the discharge port of a star-shaped discharge valve 5. A partition 9 is fixed inside the frame 1. Fine screens 7 and coarse screens 8 are laid inside the frame 1 on both sides of the partition 9. A discharge trough 10 is formed at the bottom of the frame 1 below the fine screens 7 and coarse screens 8. A vibrating motor 6 is installed on the frame 1. A cover is installed at the slot of the frame 1 on one side of the fixing plate 4. A cover plate 16 is provided, one end of which is rotatably connected to the frame 1 via a hinge, and the other end of which is connected to the frame 1 via a latch 12. A drying assembly 11 is installed on the cover plate 16. A guide trough 14 is connected to the end of the frame 1 away from the fixed plate 4. The opening of the guide trough 14 is connected to the inlet of the star-shaped discharge valve 15. The use of the star-shaped discharge valve 15 and the star-shaped discharge valve 15 can form a cavity inside the frame 1 through which air is discharged only through the discharge trough 10, so that the hot air conveyed by the drying assembly 11 is discharged along with the sieved garlic powder, keeping the garlic powder dry while avoiding excessive moisture in the garlic powder from affecting the sieving effect.The cover plate 16 can be easily opened to facilitate cleaning of the fine screen 7 and coarse screen 8. A pressure gauge 13 is installed on the cover plate 16, which monitors and provides direct feedback on the air pressure inside the frame 1 above the fine screen 7 and coarse screen 8. When the screen holes of the fine screen 7 and coarse screen 8 are severely clogged, the air pressure inside the cavity increases, allowing personnel to open the cover plate 16 to clean the fine screen 7 and coarse screen 8. Multiple latches 12 are provided, with the latch body of each latch 12 fixed to the frame 1 and the latch itself fixed to the cover plate 16. The cover plate 16 can... The drying assembly 1 is securely connected to the frame 1 via multiple latches 12, effectively sealing the slots of the frame 1. The guide trough 14 is a trough structure with openings on the side and bottom. A through-slot, flush with the inner wall of the slot on the side of the guide trough 14, is provided on the end face of the frame 1. The bottom of the slot at the end of the frame 1 is on the same plane as the top surfaces of the fine screen 7, coarse screen 8, and partition 9. Material retained by the fine screen 7 and coarse screen 8 can smoothly slide into the guide trough 14 through the slot on the frame 1, and then be discharged via the star-shaped discharge valve 15. The system includes an outer casing 111, which is fixed to a cover plate 16. The cover plate 16 has a slot flush with the inner wall of the slot in the outer casing 111. A fan 112 is mounted on the outer casing 111, and a slot corresponding to the air duct of the fan 112 is also provided. An electric heating wire 113 is installed inside the outer casing 111. When the fan 112 operates, it draws in external air and blows it onto the garlic powder below. The flowing air is heated by the electric heating wire 113, thereby drying the garlic powder and preventing it from absorbing moisture and affecting its sieving properties. The outer casing below the electric heating wire 113... A temperature sensor is installed on the inner wall of the body 111. The heating wire 113 and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to a temperature controller. The use of the temperature controller and temperature sensor allows the air to be heated by the heating wire 113 to a stable range, ensuring the drying quality of the garlic powder. The top surfaces of the fine screen 7, the coarse screen 8, and the partition 9 are on the same plane, and the plane slopes from top to bottom in the direction from the fine screen 7 to the coarse screen 8. When the frame 1 vibrates under the drive of the vibrating motor 6 and the support of the spring 2, the material rolls along the inclined surfaces of the fine screen 7 and the coarse screen 8, realizing the screening of the material.

[0034] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: Starting the star-shaped discharge valve 5, the dehydrated garlic granules are conveyed from the storage bin or conveying pipeline to the frame 1. The vibration motor 6 is turned on, and the frame 1 begins to vibrate under the support of the spring 2. Under the action of vibration, the material rolls along the inclined fine screen 7 and coarse screen 8. Smaller garlic powder particles fall through the fine screen 7 into the first discharge chute 10, while larger dehydrated garlic granules remain on the fine screen 7 and continue to roll towards the coarse screen 8. Particles of different sizes are screened out through the coarse screen 8 and discharged through the second discharge chute 10. The retained material enters the star-shaped discharge valve through the slot and guide chute 14 at the end of the frame 1. The material is discharged through the rotary valve 15. During the material screening process, the drying assembly 11 is started, and the fan 112 begins to work, drawing in external air. The air is heated as it passes through the heating wire 113, and the hot air is blown onto the garlic powder below through the slots on the cover plate 16. Since the frame 1 forms a closed cavity through the rotary valve 15 and the rotary valve 15, the hot air accompanies the screened garlic powder and is discharged from the discharge chute 10, achieving continuous drying of the garlic powder and preventing it from absorbing moisture and clumping, which would affect the screening effect. The temperature sensor monitors the air temperature inside the drying assembly 11 in real time and feeds the data back to the temperature controller. The temperature controller adjusts the temperature according to the preset temperature range, such as 40°C. - At 60℃, the power of the heating wire 113 is automatically adjusted to keep the air temperature stable, ensuring that the garlic powder is dried at a suitable temperature, which not only guarantees the drying effect but also avoids over-drying and affecting the quality of the garlic powder. The operator can observe the air pressure changes in the inner cavity of the frame 1 above the fine screen 7 and coarse screen 8 by observing the air pressure gauge 13 on the cover plate 16. When the air pressure rises significantly and exceeds the normal working range, it indicates that the screen may be blocked. At this time, the operator can open the cover plate 16 through the latch 12 to clean the fine screen 7 and coarse screen 8, remove the material blocking the screen holes, and ensure that the screening work is carried out normally.
