Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying technology for methylcyclopentenolone, specifically a drying device for the production of methylcyclopentenolone. Background Technology
[0002] Methylcyclopentenolone is mainly used to formulate flavorings such as maple, smoke, hard butter candy, and apricot. Drying is a crucial step in methylcyclopentenolone production. During the drying process, most raw materials are dried together, but this can lead to uneven drying and prolong the drying time. Furthermore, existing drying equipment does not separate the raw materials, making it difficult for some piled-up materials to dry properly and causing jamming during transport, hindering the normal drying process. Therefore, we propose a wet product drying device for methylcyclopentenolone production to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed implementation method:
[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a drying device for the production of methylcyclopentenolone includes a mounting base 1, a hot air blower 2 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 1, a hot air pipe 3 is fixedly mounted on the hot air blower 2, a rotating ring 4 is movably mounted on the mounting base 1, and a feed hopper 5 is provided on the upper side of the rotating ring 4.
[0023] The averaging mechanism 6 includes an installation cylinder 602 and an averaging block 603. The averaging block 603 is provided on the lower side of the installation cylinder 602. The averaging block 603 is located on the upper side of the rotating ring 4 and has a clear gap with the rotating ring 4.
[0024] The drive mechanism 7 includes a fixed ring 701 and a limiting ring 702. The fixed ring 701 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the rotating ring 4, and the limiting ring 702 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the mounting base 1. The fixed ring 701 is rotatably mounted on the limiting ring 702. This equipment divides the raw materials by even distribution, so that the raw materials are dried while maintaining the same thickness, making the drying more efficient and uniform. The even distribution mechanism 6 can adjust the thickness of the evenly distributed raw materials, increasing the functionality of the equipment. The equipment is also equipped with a guide block 11 that rotates with the rotating ring 4 to clear out the dried raw materials, so that the raw materials have an automatic feeding function, increasing the convenience of the equipment.
[0025] Furthermore, the equalization mechanism 6 also includes a fixed bracket 601 and a movable rod 604. The equalization block 603 has a triangular cross-section. The fixed bracket 601 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 1. The mounting cylinder 602 and the feed hopper 5 are both fixedly installed on the fixed bracket 601. The movable rod 604 is movably inserted into the mounting cylinder 602, and the equalization block 603 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the movable rod 604. This structure allows the raw material to be evenly distributed under the guidance of the inclined surface of the equalization block 603, and since the rotating ring 4 rotates, it is difficult for blockages to occur. The feed hopper 5 is located on one side of the mounting cylinder 602, and the inclined surface of the equalization block 603 faces the discharge port of the feed hopper 5 and is opposite to the rotation direction of the rotating ring 4.
[0026] Furthermore, the equalization mechanism 6 also includes a spring 605, a limiting rod 606, and a locking groove 607. The spring 605 is installed inside the mounting cylinder 602, with its lower side abutting against the upper side of the movable rod 604. The mounting cylinder 602 has a locking groove 607, and the limiting rod 606 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the movable rod 604, engaging within the locking groove 607. This structure allows the height of the equalization block 603 to be adjusted and to move upwards to a certain extent, making it difficult for raw material blockage to occur and increasing the stability of the equipment during use.
[0027] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 7 also includes balls 703, a gear ring 704, a motor 705, and a gear 706. Balls 703 are rotatably mounted on both the upper and lower sides of the limiting ring 702, rolling within the fixed ring 701. A gear ring 704 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the fixed ring 701. A motor 705 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 1, and a gear 706 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor 705, meshing with the gear ring 704. This structure allows the rotating ring 4 to be driven to rotate, and due to the presence of the balls 703, the rotation of the rotating ring 4 is smooth, increasing the stability of the equipment during use.
[0028] Furthermore, a first shielding ring 8 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 1, and the first shielding ring 8 fits against the inner side of the rotating ring 4. A second shielding ring 9 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 1, and the second shielding ring 9 fits against the outer side of the rotating ring 4. A discharge port 10 is opened on the second shielding ring 9, and a guide block 11 is provided at the discharge port 10. A baffle 12 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the guide block 11, and the baffle 12 is fixedly installed on the second shielding ring 9 and the first shielding ring 8. This structure prevents the raw material from easily overflowing due to accumulation on the rotating ring 4. The guide block 11 is shaped like a triangular pyramid with a high angle, so that the raw material can be automatically discharged under the guidance of the shape of the guide block 11, increasing the functionality and convenience of the equipment during use.
[0029] Furthermore, a concentrating air ring 13 is fixedly installed on the first shielding ring 8 and the second shielding ring 9. An air inlet 14 is arrayed on the upper side of the concentrating air ring 13, and an air distribution ring 15 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the concentrating air ring 13. The air distribution ring 15 is located above the air inlet 14 and is closed at both ends. The hot air pipe 3 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper side of the air distribution ring 15 and is connected to the air distribution ring 15. This structure allows the hot air discharged from the hot air blower 2 to concentrate in the middle of the concentrating air ring 13 and diffuse to both ends. Combined with the rotation of the rotating ring 4, this creates areas of different heat levels, resulting in more uniform drying of the raw materials and increasing the stability of the equipment during use.
[0030] Working principle: When in use, raw materials are added to the feed hopper 5. The raw materials fall onto the rotating ring 4. Under the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 705, the gear 706 rotates and drives the fixed ring 701 to rotate through the meshing between the gear ring 704, thereby driving the rotating ring 4 to rotate. The raw materials on the rotating ring 4 are pressed by the spreading block 603 and spread evenly under the action of the rotation of the rotating ring 4. The position of the spreading block 603 can be adjusted. After the rotating limit rod 606 is pulled up to the appropriate position, the rotating limit rod 606 is rotated to engage in the locking groove 607. The raw materials rotate into the air-gathering ring 13, are dried by the hot air in the air-gathering ring 13, and then rotate to the guide block 11, and are discharged under the guidance of the guide block 11. The above is the complete working principle of this utility model.
