Existing capsicum drying equipment suffers from problems such as unstable liquid level in the heating drum structure, uneven thickness of capsicum pigment extract on the heating drum, and lack of cleaning mechanism, leading to decreased product purity and color damage.
The device employs a spraying mechanism and a scraping mechanism in conjunction with a heating plate. The spraying mechanism sprays the capsicum extract onto the heating plate, where it dries into a solid during rotation. The scraping mechanism then scrapes off the dried solid. Simultaneously, a cleaning mechanism continuously cleans the heating plate with a wiping belt to ensure its cleanliness.
This method achieves uniform drying and efficient collection of capsicum pigment extract, avoids mixing of new and old materials, ensures product purity and color stability, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the equipment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular relates to a paprika preparation and drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Capsanthin is a natural food coloring extracted from chili peppers. Due to its bright color, high safety, and good stability, it is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. One of the core steps in the preparation of capsanthin is the drying process of the chili pigment extract to remove moisture and obtain a solid product.
[0003] Currently, most commonly used capsicum pigment extract drying devices in the industry adopt a "rotary heating drum + hanging knife" structure. The core principle is as follows: The capsicum pigment extract to be dried is stored in an open or closed container, with a liquid storage area at the bottom or on one side. Inside the container is a heating drum that can rotate around its axis. The drum surface is usually made of metal (such as stainless steel), and it contains heating elements (such as heating wires). During operation, the heating drum is partially immersed in the extract in the container. As the drum rotates, a layer of extract adheres to its surface. When the surface of the drum with the extract adhering to it leaves the liquid surface, the water in the extract evaporates under the heating effect of the drum itself, gradually drying into a solid film. When the dried solid film rotates to a preset position, it is scraped off by a hanging knife fixed to the inner wall of the container. The collected product is the capsicum pigment solid product.
[0004] Although the existing "rotary heating drum + hanging knife" structure has achieved the drying and collection of paprika oleoresin to a certain extent, it has the following drawbacks in actual use:
[0005] First, the existing "rotary heating drum + hanging knife" structure requires ensuring that the level of capsicum extract inside the container remains at the same height. Otherwise, the heating drum cannot guarantee the adhesion effect of the capsicum extract, nor can it ensure the thickness of the capsicum extract on the heating drum. In addition, the existing structure lacks a cleaning mechanism for the heating drum. Capsicum solids that are not completely removed by the hanging knife will be re-immersed in the extract along with the heating drum, causing the old and new materials to mix. This not only affects the purity of the product but may also cause carbonization due to repeated heating of the residual materials, damaging the color and quality of the capsicum red.
[0006] Therefore, it is essential to invent a drying apparatus for preparing paprika oleoresin. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the above problems, this utility model proposes a drying device for preparing paprika oleoresin, and the technical solution used is as follows:
[0008] A drying apparatus for preparing paprika oleoresin includes a drying chamber, a partition, a first servo motor, a heating plate, a spraying mechanism, a scraping mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, a storage bin, and an auxiliary plate.

The outlet end of the infusion pipe is fixed with a transfer pipe, wherein several spray nozzles are evenly fixed on the outer side of the transfer pipe, and the spray nozzles of the spray nozzles are all facing the corresponding positions of the heating plate. This arrangement enables the capsicum extract discharged from the external liquid supply system to be sprayed onto the corresponding positions of the heating plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the scraping mechanism includes a second servo motor, a rotating column, and scrapers. The second servo motor is fixed to the partition plate by bolts, and the rotating column is fixed to the output end of the second servo motor. Several scrapers are evenly fixed to the upper outer side of the rotating column. The lower side of the scrapers is fitted to the upper side of the heating plate. The second servo motor is electrically connected to an external production computer via a data cable. This configuration allows for the continuous scraping of solid chili pigment from the heating plate.
[0012] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs are fixed between adjacent scrapers to prevent breakage between the scraper and the rotating column.
