Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of freeze-drying equipment technology, specifically to a freeze-drying equipment for probiotic solid beverages. Background Technology
[0002] Probiotic solid beverages are widely used in the food and health industries due to their functions such as regulating intestinal flora and enhancing immunity. However, probiotics (such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria) are extremely sensitive to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and oxygen. Traditional drying methods (such as hot air drying and spray drying) easily lead to the inactivation of probiotics under high-temperature conditions, resulting in a significant reduction in survival rate and thus affecting product efficacy. Therefore, freeze-drying technology, due to its characteristics of drying under low temperature and vacuum conditions, has become the preferred method for preserving the activity of probiotics.
[0003] Currently, some existing freeze-drying devices have a low degree of automation, and most require manual intervention in multiple stages such as loading, pushing, lifting and unloading of materials, which makes it difficult to meet production needs and achieve continuous operation. At the same time, the protection measures for the transportation of probiotic solid beverages are not perfect. In view of this, we propose a freeze-drying device for probiotic solid beverages. Utility Model Content

[0032] To further understand the utility model's content, features, and effects, the following embodiments are provided, along with detailed descriptions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0033] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model proposes a probiotic solid beverage freeze-drying device, including a frame 1, a guide rail 2 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, the guide rail 2 being an electric slide rail, a slider 3 slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rail 2, a base 4 fixedly connected to the top of the slider 3, a tray 5 slidably attached to the top of the base 4, a workbench 6 fixedly connected to one side of the frame 1, a pushing component 7 for pushing the solid beverage on the top of the workbench 6, an organic body 8 fixedly connected to the side of the frame 1 away from the workbench 6, and a lifting component 9 for lifting the solid beverage from the lower cavity to the upper cavity for freeze-drying at the bottom of the organic body 8.
[0034] In this utility model, in order to facilitate the pushing of solid beverages, the pushing component 7 includes a fixed plate 71, a cylinder 73, and a rectangular block 76. The fixed plate 71 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 6, and a support frame 72 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 71. The cylinder 73 is installed on the outer wall of the support frame 72. A connecting plate 74 is hinged to the output end of the cylinder 73, and a connecting plate 75 is hinged to the bottom end of the connecting plate 74. The rectangular block 76 is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting plate 75, and the rectangular block 76 movably passes through the fixed plate 71. A limit block 77 is fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular block 76.
[0035] Furthermore, a notch is provided on one side of the base 4 for the tray 5 to slide out. The notch on the base 4 facilitates the loading and unloading of the tray 5. A limit frame 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tray 5, and an elastic element 52 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tray 5. A partition plate 53 is movably attached to the top of the limit frame 51. A partition hole 54 is provided on the outer wall of the partition plate 53. The solid beverages in the tray 5 are separated by the partition plate 53 and the partition hole 54 to prevent collision between the solid beverages.
[0036] Furthermore, a movable groove 81 is provided on one side of the machine body 8. The width of the movable groove 81 is slightly larger than the width of the tray 5. The machine body 8 is divided into an upper cavity and a lower cavity through the movable groove 81. The upper cavity is the freeze-drying area, and the lower cavity is the feeding area. The movable groove 81 provides a channel for the tray 5 to enter the interior of the machine body 8, so that the tray 5 can be smoothly moved from one side of the frame 1 to the upper cavity of the machine body 8 for freeze-drying.
[0037] Furthermore, the lifting assembly 9 includes a motor 91, which is installed at the bottom of the machine body 8. The output shaft of the motor 91 is connected to a rotating shaft 92. A transmission main wheel 93 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 92. The transmission main wheel 93 is connected to a driven wheel 94 via a synchronous belt. A threaded rod 95 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the driven wheel 94. The threaded rod 95 moves through the bottom end of the machine body 8 and extends upward. A lifting plate 96 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the extended end of the threaded rod 95. The lifting assembly 9 moves the solid beverage from the lower cavity of the machine body 8 to the upper cavity for freeze-drying.
[0038] Furthermore, a circular groove 97 is provided on one side of the lifting plate 96. The circular groove 97 matches the elastic element 52 on the outer wall of the tray 5. The fixing effect is achieved through the cooperation of the circular groove 97 and the elastic element 52. Guide rods 10 are movably passed through both sides of the lifting plate 96. There are four guide rods 10. The four guide rods 10 are symmetrically arranged around the middle of the lifting plate 96. The guide rods 10 provide guidance for the lifting of the lifting plate 96.
[0039] Furthermore, there are two moving slots 81, which are symmetrically arranged around the middle of the body 8, and a conveyor belt 11 is provided on the side of the body 8 away from the frame 1.
[0040] During use, when loading materials, the operator places the probiotic solid beverage into the tray 5. Using the dividing holes 54 on the divider plate 53, the solid beverage in the tray 5 can be divided into multiple independent areas to prevent scattering and collisions during transportation and handling. After placement, the tray 5 is positioned above the base 4. The base 4 is moved via the guide rail 2 and slider 3. When it moves to the appropriate position, the output end of the cylinder 73 extends and retracts, driving the connecting plate 74 hinged to its output end to push the tray 5. The tray 5 slides out from the notch in the base 4 and enters the lifting plate 96 through the moving groove 81 on the outer wall of the machine body 8. As the tray 5 moves, the elastic elements 52 on both sides engage with the circular grooves 97 for fixation. After pushing is complete, the cylinder 73 retracts, causing the connecting plate 74 to tilt at a certain angle. The tilt angle is limited by the limit block 77, thus completing the pushing process. At this time, the motor 91 starts, and its output... The shaft drives the rotating shaft 92 to rotate, and the transmission main wheel 93 on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 92 rotates together with the rotating shaft 92. The transmission main wheel 93 drives the driven wheel 94 to rotate through the synchronous belt. The threaded rod 95 rotates under the rotation of the driven wheel 94, so that the lifting plate 96 moves linearly along the axis of the threaded rod 95, so that the next lifting plate 96 is located on the right side of the moving groove 81, and then pushed by the pushing component 7. The pushing component 7 and the lifting component 9 cooperate to push four sets of solid beverages. After the four sets of solid beverages are pushed, the solid beverages enter the upper cavity from the lower cavity of the machine body 8 for freeze-drying. After freeze-drying, the pushing component 7 and the lifting component 9 cooperate to move the tray 5 out of the moving groove 81 on the other side of the machine body 8 and enter the conveyor belt 11 for transportation to the subsequent processing stage. The whole process does not require manual operation and realizes automated operation.
[0041] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
