Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flour processing technology, specifically a drying device for flour processing. Background Technology
[0002] Flour is a basic processed food product widely used globally. It is made by milling grains (mainly wheat, but also including corn, rice, oats, etc.) after removing the bran and germ. It is a core ingredient in baking, pastry making, and cooking. Its quality and uses vary significantly due to differences in raw material type, processing technology, protein content, and other factors.
[0003] An investigation revealed that a utility model patent (publication number: CN222143525U) discloses a drying device for flour processing, including a drying chamber, a crushing mechanism, a drying mechanism, and a dispersing mechanism. The crushing mechanism includes a crushing box with a pair of crushing rollers inside. A guide hopper is fixedly installed at the upper end of the crushing box, and a discharge pipe communicating with the crushing box is provided at the lower end of the crushing box. The discharge pipe communicates with the drying chamber. The drying mechanism is located on the upper side of the inner wall of the drying chamber and generates heat for drying the flour. Compared with the prior art, this utility model uses the crushing mechanism to crush the dough in the flour before it is poured into the drying chamber, avoiding the presence of flour lumps in the flour entering the drying chamber. This allows the flour to dry quickly. Combined with the dispersing mechanism, the flour is dried quickly, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of low flour drying efficiency caused by flour lumps, thus making the drying equipment more efficient.
[0004] Although the aforementioned patent, through its structural design, breaks down the dough in the flour before it enters the drying chamber using a crushing mechanism, preventing lumps of flour from forming inside and thus enabling rapid drying, and effectively avoids the low drying efficiency caused by lumps of flour by using a dispersing mechanism to dry the flour quickly, resulting in higher drying efficiency for the drying equipment, drying the flour all at once can easily lead to incomplete drying. Flour in the middle may not be dried enough, and the central part may not reach the set moisture content, resulting in inconsistent texture, taste, and flavor in the finished product, indicating uneven drying.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a drying device for flour processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0018] 1. Through the set push mechanism, the conical rod in the push mechanism can make the flour on the B filter plate leak out from the filter hole. Through the partitioned exposure, a more uniform moisture evaporation path can be formed around the filter hole, reducing the moisture gradient in the central part and achieving a more consistent drying effect. Positioning and pushing the flour out of the filter hole reduces the uneven drying caused by the material being stuck on the filter plate. The pushing process may bring a better air circulation path, helping the moisture to be discharged from the filter hole and surrounding area.
[0019] 2. The set-up blowing mechanism can gently blow the flour when it is pushed out. Combined with the heating rod inside the processing drum, the flour can be dried quickly and evenly. After being blown out, the flour particles are more easily exposed to the front of the hot air, shortening the moisture migration path and thus increasing the drying rate per unit time. The blowing mechanism generates a small wind disturbance when the flour is pushed out, which helps to break up agglomerates and reduce sticking and clumping, thereby improving the uniform distribution of moisture in the material layer.

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.
[0028] This utility model provides a drying device for flour processing, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, a drying device for flour processing includes a processing barrel 1, a dividing groove is provided in the middle of the processing barrel 1, a blowing mechanism is fixedly connected inside the dividing groove, a pushing mechanism is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the processing barrel 1, a cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the processing barrel 1, and a rotating mechanism is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover plate 2.
[0029] The pushing mechanism includes a support 3, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the processing barrel 1. An electric push rod 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support 3. One end of the electric push rod 4 is fixedly connected to filter plate A 5. A tapered rod 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of filter plate A 5. The tapered rod 6 in the pushing mechanism can make the flour on filter plate B 16 leak out of the filter holes. Through the partitioned exposure, a more uniform moisture evaporation path can be formed around the filter holes, reducing the moisture gradient in the central part and achieving a more consistent drying effect. The flour is positioned and pushed out of the filter holes, reducing the uneven drying caused by the material being stuck on the filter plate. The pushing process may bring a better air circulation path, helping the moisture to be discharged from the filter holes and surrounding areas.
[0030] The dispersing mechanism includes a housing 7, the upper surface of which is fixedly connected to the interior of the partition groove. A transmission pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing 7, and a blower 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission pipe 8. An air hole 10 is opened on the inner side wall of the housing 7. The rotating mechanism includes a drive motor 11, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover plate 2. A connecting rod 12 is splined to the output end of the drive motor 11, and a gear 13 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 12. An internal gear 14 meshes with the outer surface of the gear 13. When the flour is pushed out, the dispersing mechanism can gently blow the flour. Combined with the heating rod 19 inside the processing barrel 1, the flour can be dried quickly and evenly. After being dispersed, the flour particles are more easily exposed to the front edge of the hot air, shortening the moisture migration path and thus increasing the drying rate per unit time. The dispersing mechanism generates a small wind disturbance when the flour is pushed out, which helps to break up agglomerates, reduce adhesion and clumping, and thus improve the uniform distribution of moisture in the material layer.
[0031] A connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of gear 13. A filter plate 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 15. A track ring 17 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the filter plate 16. A connecting shell 18 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the track ring 17. The outer surface of the connecting shell 18 is fixedly connected to the inside of the processing barrel 1. The track ring 17 plays a guiding role, so that the filter plate 16 rotates smoothly inside the connecting shell 18.
[0032] The inner cavity of the processing barrel 1 is divided into two sections. A heating rod 19 is fixedly connected inside the inner cavity. The heating rod 19 is arranged in a ring around the inner cavity of the processing barrel 1. The heating is divided into two sections. The segmented heating reduces the thermal stress of being exposed to high temperature at one time, reduces the inhomogeneity caused by particle breakage and particle size gradient, avoids high-intensity heating of all materials in a single stage, and reduces heat loss and energy waste.
[0033] The processing barrel 1 has grooves on both sides of its outer surface. A feeding hopper 20 is fixedly connected inside the grooves. The feeding hopper 20 serves as a feeding and conveying device, making it easy to concentrate the flour and let it fall into the processing barrel 1.
[0034] A conveyor box 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the processing barrel 1. A conveyor plate 22 is fixedly connected inside the conveyor box 21. A vibration pump 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor box 21. The vibration pump 23 is electrically connected to the conveyor plate 22. The vibration pump 23 drives the conveyor plate 22 to generate high-frequency micro-vibration, which can break the adhesion between material particles on the one hand, and quickly collect flour on the other hand.
[0035] Specifically, flour is placed into the processing drum 1 from the feed hopper 20, falling onto the B filter plate 16. The drive motor 11 is started, and when the drive motor 11 rotates, it drives the connecting rod 12 to rotate. When the connecting rod 12 rotates, it drives the gear 13 to rotate within the internal gear 14. The gear 13 drives the B filter plate 16 to rotate via the connecting rod 15. The B filter plate 16 rotates within the connecting shell 18 via the track ring 17. When the B filter plate 16 rotates, it causes the flour to rotate, shaking the flour to mix it evenly. Then, the heating rod 19 inside the processing drum 1 is activated to keep the inside of the processing drum 1 in a dry state. Finally, the electric push rod is activated. 4. The electric push rod 4 drives the A filter plate 5 to move up and down. When the A filter plate 5 moves up and down, it drives the conical rod 6 to move up and down. The conical rod 6 is inserted into the filter hole of the B filter plate 16, allowing the flour to leak out from the filter hole of the B filter plate 16. When the flour leaks out, the blower 9 transmits air through the transmission pipe 8. The air in the transmission pipe 8 is transmitted into the housing 7 and blown out from the air hole 10, which can gently blow the flour and disperse it, making the flour dry more evenly. Then, the flour falls onto the A filter plate 5 for further filtration and falls onto the transmission plate 22 in the transmission box 21. The vibration pump 23 is started to vibrate the flour and make it fall out for collection.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
