[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a pretreatment drying device for food additive processing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This pretreatment drying equipment for food additive processing, through its drying mechanism, firstly, puts the food additives into a storage bin when drying is required during the processing. Under the action of a second heating element, the food additives in the storage bin are dried. Simultaneously, under the action of an electric telescopic rod and baffles, the food additives are quantitatively conveyed into a conveying pipe. A second rotating rod drives a crushing roller to rotate, and under the action of the crushing teeth, the food additives are crushed, reducing larger lumps or particles, improving production quality and drying efficiency. The crushed food additives then enter the drying chamber, where they undergo further drying under the action of a first heating element. Simultaneously, under the action of a first rotating rod and a stirring rod, the food additives are continuously stirred, increasing the contact area between the additives and hot air, making the heating more uniform, avoiding localized overheating or insufficient drying, and increasing the drying speed. The second heating element located around the storage bin preheats the material before it enters the drying chamber, further improving drying efficiency and reducing the workload of the first heating element inside the drying chamber, achieving energy saving.

[0017] This pretreatment drying equipment for food additive processing, through its feeding mechanism, ensures that when the food additives are dried in the drying chamber, the position of the stirring rod aligns with the through hole inside the push plate. The cylinder then pushes the connecting plate, which in turn moves the fixed rod and the push plate forward. The push plate, being cylindrical and in close contact with the inside of the drying chamber, slides outside the stirring rod. By pushing the push plate, the dried additives can be smoothly pushed out of the drying chamber, improving feeding efficiency and cleaning the additives inside the drying chamber more thoroughly, preventing additive residues from affecting the next batch of processing.

[0030] This utility model provides the following technical solution: Example 1

[0031] Please see Figure 1-8This utility model provides a technical solution: a pretreatment drying equipment for food additive processing, including a drying equipment body 1, a load-bearing frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the drying equipment body 1, a drying mechanism 3 provided on the top of the drying equipment body 1, and a feeding mechanism 4 provided inside the drying mechanism 3.

[0032] The drying mechanism 3 includes a drying chamber 31, which is fixedly connected to the load-bearing frame 2. A heat-insulating door 32 is rotatably connected to the front of the drying chamber 31. A first heating tube 36 is fixedly connected inside the drying chamber 31.

A second rotating rod 395 is fixedly connected to the left side of 92. A crushing roller 396 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the second rotating rod 395. A storage box 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying pipe 33. A fixing plate 393 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box 34. A support column 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage box 34. The support column 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the drying equipment body 1. A second heating pipe 391 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the storage box 34. A baffle 398 is slidably connected inside the storage box 34. An electric telescopic rod 394 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the baffle 398. The electric telescopic rod 394 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the fixing plate 393.

[0033] The first rotating rod 38 is rotatably connected to the inside of the drying chamber 31, and the second rotating rod 395 is rotatably connected to the inside of the conveying pipe 33. This facilitates the rotation of the stirring rod 39 and the crushing roller 396 under the action of the first rotating rod 38 and the second rotating rod 395, respectively. The crushing roller 396 and the crushing teeth 397 are in contact with each other. The inner side of the storage box 34 is inclined, which facilitates the crushing of agglomerated or large-volume food additives under the action of the crushing roller 396 and the crushing teeth 397. A sliding groove is provided inside the storage box 34, and a baffle 398 is slidably connected in the sliding groove, which facilitates the stability of the baffle 398 under the action of the sliding groove. A heating chamber is provided inside the drying chamber 31, and the first heating tube 36 is fixedly connected in the heating chamber, which facilitates the operation of the first heating tube 36 under the action of the heating chamber. Example 2

[0034] Please see Figure 1-8Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the feeding mechanism 4 further includes a mounting frame 41, which is fixedly connected to the rear side of the support column 35. A cylinder 42 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the mounting frame 41, a connecting plate 43 is fixedly connected to the front side of the cylinder 42, and a fixing rod 44 is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting plate 43. The fixing rod 44 is slidably connected inside the drying chamber 31, and a push plate 45 is fixedly connected to the front side of the fixing rod 44. The push plate 45 is slidably connected to the outside of the stirring rod 39. The push plate 45 is cylindrical, and its outer periphery is in contact with the inner side of the drying chamber 31, which facilitates the efficiency of feeding the dried food additives under the action of the push plate 45, and also facilitates the cleaning of the inner side of the drying chamber 31.

[0035] In actual operation, when this device is used and drying is required during the processing of food additives, the food additives are first put into the storage box 34. The first heating tube 36 and the second heating tube 391 are powered by an external power supply, so that they can work respectively. Under the action of the second heating tube 391, the food additives in the storage box 34 can be dried. At the same time, the baffle 398 is moved by the electric telescopic rod 394 to transport the food additives into the conveying pipe 33 in a quantitative form. Before the food additives enter the conveying pipe 33, the second servo motor 392 drives the second rotating rod 395 to rotate the crushing roller 396 fixedly connected to the outside. Under the action of the crushing roller 396 and the crushing teeth 397, when the food additives enter the conveying pipe 33, the large block or granular food additives are reduced to smaller sizes, thereby improving the production quality and drying efficiency.

[0036] After being pulverized, the food additives enter the drying chamber 31 and are further dried under the action of the first heating tube 36. At the same time, the stirring rod 39, which is fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 38, is driven by the first servo motor 37 to rotate, which can continuously stir the food additives, increase the contact area between the additives and the hot air, make the additives heat more evenly, avoid local overheating or insufficient drying, and improve the drying speed.

[0037] When drying is complete, first align the stirring rod 39 with the through hole inside the push plate 45, open the insulation door 32, and place the collection device in front of the drying chamber 31. The cylinder 42 can push the connecting plate 43, which in turn drives the fixing rod 44 and the push plate 45 to move forward. The push plate 45 is cylindrical and in close contact with the inside of the drying chamber 31, sliding outside the stirring rod 39. By pushing the push plate 45, the dried additives can be smoothly pushed out of the drying chamber 31, improving the efficiency of material feeding and cleaning the additives in the drying chamber 31 more thoroughly, avoiding additive residues that may affect the next batch of processing. At the same time, opening the insulation door 32 allows the staff to easily and thoroughly clean the inside of the drying chamber 31.
