Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spray granulation technology, specifically to an apple polyphenol centrifugal spray granulation device. Background Technology

[0002] The centrifugal spray granulation device for apple polyphenols is used to convert natural plant extracts such as apple polyphenols into powder or granular substances. It employs centrifugal spray drying and granulation to efficiently dry liquid or solution-state apple polyphenols into granules. Chinese Patent (Announcement No. CN221999798U) discloses a spray granulation device for producing granular traditional Chinese medicine. This device uses a belt, fan blades, and an activated carbon filter. The mixed granules inside the housing enter the discharge pipe, while the fan blades pump air into the housing.

[0019] The centrifugal spray granulation device for apple polyphenols provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This utility model uses a spray granulation mechanism to uniformly arrange at least three sets of spray granulation mechanisms inside a cylinder. The spray granulation mechanism uses liquid or solution-state apple polyphenols to spray granulation onto the inner wall of the cylinder. Then, a drying mechanism dries the spray layer of the spray granulation mechanism to form a solid or powdery substance for further granulation. The adjustment mechanism adjusts the spray range and spray thickness of the spray granulation mechanism, so that the spray granulation mechanism can be adjusted according to the environment or the thickness of the coating to be prepared. This allows the spray granulation mechanism to maintain different angles relative to the inner wall, thereby changing the spray range and adjusting the thickness of the sprayed coating accordingly to improve work efficiency.

[0021] 2. This utility model also allows multiple dispensing cylinders to rotate relative to the inner wall of the cylinder through the setting of a rotating mechanism, and sprays them onto the inner wall of the cylinder by rotating them to form a uniform spray layer relative to the inner wall of the cylinder.

[0022] 3. This utility model also achieves the rotational connection of a pair of first linkage plates, a pair of second linkage plates, a first rotating part, and a second rotating part by means of a rotating rod. Similarly, the rotational connection of a pair of first linkage plates, a pair of second linkage plates, and a corresponding dispensing cylinder can also be achieved by means of a rotating rod. This allows the dispensing cylinder, the first linkage plate, the second linkage plate, and the distance between the first positioning ring and the second positioning ring to form a linkage. When the operating handle is rotated, the mounting cylinder rotates relative to the rotating disk. This means that when the mounting cylinder is screwed to the positioning sleeve and the first positioning ring, the relative distance between the second positioning ring and the first positioning ring changes. As a result, under the linkage formed by the dispensing cylinder, the first linkage plate, the second linkage plate, and the distance between the first positioning ring and the second positioning ring, the angle of the dispensing cylinder relative to the inner wall of the cylinder is changed. This allows for control of the thickness of the spray applied to the inner wall of the cylinder. Attached Figure Description

A base is provided at the bottom of the cylinder 1 to maintain a distance between the cylinder 1 and the bottom surface. At least three spray granulation mechanisms are evenly arranged inside the cylinder 1. The spray granulation mechanisms use liquid or solution-state apple polyphenols to spray granulate onto the inner wall of the cylinder 1.

[0034] In some embodiments, a first gear disk 11 is disposed outside the positioning sleeve 9, and a second gear 12 meshes with the first gear disk 11. A mounting base 13 is disposed on the top of the cylinder 1 near the second gear 12, and a motor 14 is disposed on the mounting base 13. The output shaft of the motor 14 rotatably passes through the mounting base 13 and is centrally connected to the second gear 12. Figure 1-5 As shown, the motor 14 is mounted on the mounting base 13. The motor 14 is commercially available. The output end of the motor 14 is connected to the center of the second gear 12 disk. The second gear 12 meshes with the first gear. The motor 14 drives the second gear 12 to transmit power to the first gear, so that the connected positioning sleeve 9 and the connected rotating disk 7 rotate in the rotating groove 8.

[0035] In some embodiments, the adjusting mechanism includes a first positioning ring 15 and a second positioning ring 16.

A first rotating part 19 and a second rotating part 20 are respectively provided near each of the dispensing cylinders 2. A pair of first linkage plates 21 and a pair of second linkage plates 22 are respectively provided between each of the first rotating part 19 and the corresponding dispensing cylinder 2. One end of the pair of first linkage plates 21 and the pair of second linkage plates 22 is rotatably connected to one of the first rotating parts 19 and the second rotating part 20, respectively. The other end of the pair of first linkage plates 21 and the pair of second linkage plates 22 is rotatably connected to the side of the dispensing cylinder 2 away from the inner wall of the cylinder body 1. An operating handle 23 is provided at the end of the mounting cylinder 10 located outside the cylinder body 1. Figure 1-5 As shown, the first positioning ring 15 and the second positioning ring 16 are sleeved and installed on the mounting cylinder 10. The first positioning ring 15 and the mounting cylinder 10 are screwed together, and the two ends of multiple connecting rods 17 are respectively connected to the bottom of the first positioning ring 15 and the rotating disk 7, so that the relative distance between the two first positioning rings 15 and the rotating disk 7 is defined. The second positioning ring 16 is rotatably connected to the mounting cylinder 10, and the position of the second positioning ring 16 and the mounting cylinder 10 is defined by a pair of limiting rings 18. The rotatable connection between the pair of first linkage plates 21, the pair of second linkage plates 22 and the first rotating part 19 and the second rotating part 20 can be achieved by rotating rods, and the rotatable connection between the pair of first linkage plates 21, the pair of second linkage plates 22 and the corresponding liquid separator 2 is... The connection can also be achieved by rotating the rod, so that the liquid dispensing cylinder 2, the first linkage plate 21, the second linkage plate 22, and the distance between the first positioning ring 15 and the second positioning ring 16 are linked. When the operating handle 23 is rotated to rotate the mounting cylinder 10 relative to the rotating disk 7, it means that when the mounting cylinder 10 is screwed to the positioning sleeve 9 and the first positioning ring 15, the relative distance between the second positioning ring 16 and the first positioning ring 15 changes. Under the linkage formed by the liquid dispensing cylinder 2, the first linkage plate 21, the second linkage plate 22, and the distance between the first positioning ring 15 and the second positioning ring 16, the angle of the liquid dispensing cylinder 2 relative to the inner wall of the cylinder body 1 is changed.
