Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying technology, and more specifically, to a drying apparatus for the production of antioxidants. Background Technology

[0002] Antioxidants are molecules or compounds that can neutralize or eliminate harmful free radicals inside and outside the body and slow down oxidation reactions. They prevent cells, tissues or food from being damaged by oxidation by "sacrificing" themselves, thereby delaying aging, reducing the risk of chronic diseases and maintaining product freshness. They are widely found in vitamins C and E, polyphenols and artificially synthesized substances such as BHT and TBHQ.

[0003] Drying is a routine and critical post-processing step in the antioxidant production process, aimed at removing solvents and moisture and improving purity and stability. However, in existing antioxidant drying methods, antioxidants tend to accumulate at the bottom of the equipment due to poor air permeability, resulting in longer drying times and lower drying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drying device for the production of antioxidants.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying device for the production of antioxidants, comprising a shell, an inlet pipe connected to the upper end of the shell, an outlet at the lower end of the shell, a valve installed at the outlet, multiple air pipes connected to the side wall of the shell, air nozzles installed at one end of each of the multiple air pipes inside the shell, a vertical pipe arranged inside the shell, multiple horizontal arms fixedly connected to the vertical pipe, the ends of the multiple horizontal arms away from the vertical pipe being fixedly connected to the shell, a vertical shaft arranged inside the vertical pipe, a spiral blade fixedly connected to the vertical shaft, the spiral blade rubbing against the inner side wall of the vertical pipe, the upper end of the vertical shaft penetrating the top wall of the shell and connected to the output shaft of a motor through a coupling, the motor being mounted on the shell.

[0006] Preferably, a plurality of baffle plates are fixedly connected to the vertical pipe, and the plurality of baffle plates increase in size from top to bottom.

[0007] Preferably, each of the baffle plates is fixedly connected with a plurality of vent pipes, and the lower ends of the plurality of vent pipes are connected to the lower part of the baffle plate.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of push plates are fixedly connected to the lower end of the vertical shaft, and the plurality of push plates rub against the bottom wall of the housing.

[0009] Preferably, the upper end of the housing is connected to a dehumidification pipe.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. The vertical shaft is driven by a motor to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blades on it to rotate. The spiral blades can push the antioxidant at the bottom of the shell upward in the vertical tube, and finally discharge it from the top of the vertical tube and fall downward into the bottom of the shell. Multiple nozzles can dry the antioxidant during the falling process, which solves the problem of the existing antioxidant accumulation and difficulty in drying, effectively shortens the drying time, and makes the drying efficiency higher.

[0012] 2. The antioxidant discharged from the top of the vertical pipe needs to fall onto multiple baffles in sequence before finally falling to the bottom of the shell, thereby slowing down the falling speed of the antioxidant and further improving the drying efficiency.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a drying device for the production of antioxidants, comprising a shell 1, an inlet pipe 2 connected to the upper end of the shell 1, and an outlet 3 at the lower end of the shell 1, wherein a valve is installed at the outlet 3. Figure 2 The antioxidant requiring drying is fed into the interior of the housing 1 through the feed pipe 2. After drying, the antioxidant is discharged through the discharge port 3. The opening and closing of the discharge port 3 is controlled by a valve. Multiple air pipes 4 are connected to the side wall of the housing 1, and each of the air pipes 4 located inside the housing 1 has an air nozzle 5 installed at one end. Figure 1 and Figure 2Multiple air pipes 4 are located outside the housing 1, with one end connected to the air outlet of a heater. Alternatively, other devices that generate hot air can be used instead of a heater. Multiple air nozzles 5 can then blow warm air into the housing 1. A vertical pipe 6 is installed inside the housing 1, and multiple horizontal arms 7 are fixedly connected to the vertical pipe 6. The ends of the horizontal arms 7 furthest from the vertical pipe 6 are fixedly connected to the housing 1. Figure 2 The vertical tube 6 is supported and fixed by multiple horizontal arms 7. The vertical tube 6 has a vertical shaft 8 inside. A spiral blade 9 is fixedly connected to the vertical shaft 8. The spiral blade 9 rubs against the inner wall of the vertical tube 6. The upper end of the vertical shaft 8 passes through the top wall of the housing 1 and is connected to the output shaft of the motor 10 through a coupling. The motor 10 is mounted on the housing 1.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 Antioxidants accumulate at the bottom of the housing 1. The motor 10 drives the vertical shaft 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blades 9 on it to rotate. The spiral blades 9 can then push the antioxidants at the bottom of the housing 1 upward in the vertical tube 6, and finally discharge them from the top of the vertical tube 6 and fall downward into the bottom of the housing 1. Multiple nozzles 5 can dry the antioxidants during the falling process, solving the problem of the existing antioxidant accumulation and difficulty in drying, effectively shortening the drying time and increasing the drying efficiency.

[0025] Specifically, a plurality of baffle plates 11 are fixedly connected to the vertical pipe 6, and the plurality of baffle plates 11 increase in size from top to bottom;

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each baffle plate 11 is higher in the middle and lower around the edges. The antioxidant discharged from the top of the vertical pipe 6 needs to fall onto multiple baffle plates 11 in sequence before it can finally fall into the bottom of the shell 1, thereby slowing down the falling speed of the antioxidant and further improving the drying efficiency.

[0027] Specifically, each of the baffle plates 11 is fixedly connected with a plurality of vent pipes 13, and the lower ends of the plurality of vent pipes 13 are connected to the lower part of the baffle plate 11.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water vapor generated during drying can rise continuously through multiple vent pipes 13, preventing water vapor from accumulating below the baffle plate 11.

[0029] Specifically, a plurality of push plates 12 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the vertical shaft 8, and the plurality of push plates 12 are in frictional contact with the bottom wall of the housing 1.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 4The vertical shaft 8 can drive multiple push plates 12 to rotate, and the multiple push plates 12 agitate the antioxidant at the bottom of the shell 1, further improving the drying efficiency;

[0031] Furthermore, during material discharge, multiple push plates 12 can scrape off the antioxidant at the bottom of the housing 1, preventing the antioxidant from accumulating at the bottom of the housing 1 and being unable to be discharged smoothly.

[0032] Specifically, the upper end of the housing 1 is connected to a dehumidification pipe 14, through which the water vapor generated during drying is discharged.

[0033] Working principle: The motor 10 drives the vertical shaft 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blades 9 on it to rotate. The spiral blades 9 can push the antioxidant at the bottom of the shell 1 to move upward in the vertical tube 6, and finally discharge from the top of the vertical tube 6 and fall downward into the bottom of the shell 1. Multiple nozzles 5 can dry the antioxidant during the falling process. The antioxidant discharged from the top of the vertical tube 6 needs to fall onto multiple baffles 11 in sequence before it can finally fall into the bottom of the shell 1, thereby slowing down the falling speed of the antioxidant and improving the drying efficiency.

[0034] It should be noted that all electrical components appearing in this application are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a processor, alarm module, or drive module, etc., to control conventional known devices. All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part are all conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding, which are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts, and equipment all adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
