The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0017] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0018] A preferred embodiment of the natural pigment extract concentration and drying device provided by this utility model is, for example... Figures 1 to 4 As shown: A natural pigment extract concentration and drying device includes: a tank 1; a heating sleeve 2 installed in the inner wall interlayer of the tank 1; a base 3 connected to the bottom of the tank 1 by sealing bolts; a top cover 4 snapped onto the top surface of the tank 1; an observation window 5 installed on one side of the surface of the tank 1; an installation assembly 6 snapped between the tank 1 and the top cover 4, the installation assembly 6 being used for quick removal of the top cover 4; a feed inlet 7 installed on one side of the surface of the top cover 4; and a stirring assembly 8 installed in the center of one side of the surface of the top cover 4.

[0019] In this embodiment, it should be specifically noted that this device only addresses the difficulty of disassembly in existing devices by enabling rapid disassembly of the tank 1 through modular, quickly detachable components. Some remaining components are shown in the accompanying drawings and are abbreviated in this text. Furthermore, the connection methods of the heating sleeve 2 and the electrical components in the mounting assembly 6 are within the existing conventional technical field and will not be elaborated further. Regarding the mounting assembly 6, during the installation of the top cover 4, the engaging head 603 is aligned with the sliding groove 602 and slowly pressed into the fitting groove 601. Under the action of the spring 605, the limiting block 606 automatically frictionally locks against the side wall of the engaging head 603, achieving a stable connection between the top cover 4 and the tank 1. This frictional sliding engaging structure can automatically absorb minute gaps, ensuring sealing while allowing for rapid disassembly. During disassembly, applying a moderate external force to the top cover 4 causes the limiting block 606 to move along the integrated... The top cover 4 can be quickly removed by sliding the groove 604 and releasing the friction lock with the locking head 603, without the need to disassemble bolts or complicated tools. Combined with the threaded connection at the bottom of the base 3, this facilitates the overall disassembly of the device. During use, the concentrated natural pigment extract flows into the tank 1 through the inlet 7 on the surface of the top cover 4, and is heated and dried by the heating sleeve 2 within it. Simultaneously, the motor in the stirring assembly 8 is activated. The blades and scrapers in the stirring assembly 8 ensure uniform heating, and the actual situation is observed through the observation window 5 to ensure proper heating of the material and facilitate adjustment of the heating temperature and stirring speed. Finally, it should be noted that the base 3 is disassembled relatively infrequently during actual use, hence the threaded connection; the top cover 4, which is used to install the stirring assembly 8, is disassembled more frequently, hence the locking connection. This is specifically explained.

[0020] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the heating sleeve 2 is provided in three sets, and the three sets of heating sleeve 2 are distributed at equal angles along the tank body 1.

[0021] In this embodiment, the heating sleeve 2 is distributed at equal angles along the inner wall of the tank 1 to provide a uniform heat source for the material inside the tank. The concentrated liquid is heated by conduction and convection, which accelerates the evaporation of water. At the same time, the stirring component 8 turns the material to prevent local overheating or clumping, thereby improving drying efficiency and pigment stability.

[0022] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the feed inlet 7 is located on the outside of the stirring assembly 8, and there are two sets of feed inlets 7.

[0023] In this embodiment, the feed inlets 7 are located on the surface of the top cover 4, in two sets outside the stirring assembly 8. They are used to uniformly transport the concentrated natural pigment extract into the tank 1, ensuring that the material is evenly distributed during the drying process, facilitating stirring and heating, improving dehydration efficiency, and preventing local sedimentation. It should also be noted that in actual production, the material is usually continuously transported through a single feed inlet 7. At this time, the other set of feed inlets 7 becomes a pressure relief port to prevent the accumulation of pressure inside the tank 1.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mounting component 6 includes: a fitting groove 601 formed on the upper edge of the tank body 1, wherein a locking head 603 is fixedly connected inside the fitting groove 601; a sliding groove 602 formed on the extended fitting side of the top cover 4, wherein integrated grooves 604 are formed on both side walls of the sliding groove 602, a spring 605 is connected to one side of the integrated groove 604, and a limit block 606 is connected to the other side of the spring 605.

[0025] In this embodiment, the installation component 6 plays a key role in the modular quick disassembly and stable sealing of the natural pigment extract concentration and drying device. It achieves a reliable connection between the top cover 4 and the tank body 1 through the cooperation of various parts. The end of the locking head 603 is hexagonal and precisely aligned with the slide groove 602. Under the action of the spring 605, the limiting block 606 forms a friction sliding locking structure with the side wall of the end of the locking head 603, realizing the automatic locking of the top cover 4 and achieving quick installation. It also allows the top cover 4 to be quickly disassembled without removing the bolts, which is convenient for material replacement, cleaning and maintenance, making the device operation safer and more efficient.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, four sets of fitting grooves 601 are provided, and the four sets of fitting grooves 601 are distributed at equal angles on the upper edge of the top cover 4.

[0027] In this embodiment, the fitting groove 601 is distributed at equal angles along the upper edge of the top cover 4, which is used to fix the locking head 603 and guide it to accurately align with the sliding groove 602, so as to realize the stable connection between the top cover 4 and the tank body 1, while providing guidance and support for quick disassembly, and ensuring the reliability and sealing of the installation component 6.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the end of the engaging head 603 is hexagonal, and the positions of the engaging head 603 and the slide groove 602 are aligned one-to-one.

[0029] In this embodiment, the end of the locking head 603 is precisely aligned with the slide groove 602, and a frictional sliding locking structure is formed by the limiting block 606 and the spring 605 to achieve a stable locking between the top cover 4 and the tank body 1, while ensuring the accuracy and sealing of the quick disassembly and repeated installation of the top cover 4.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the end of the limiting block 606 is tapered, and the end of the limiting block 606 forms a mutual friction sliding engagement structure with the end sidewall of the engaging head 603 through the spring 605.

[0031] In this embodiment, the limiting block 606 is fitted into the integrated groove 604 and slides against the end side wall of the locking head 603 with the help of the spring 605, so as to realize the automatic locking and stable sealing of the top cover 4. At the same time, the locking structure can be slidably released during disassembly to ensure the quick disassembly and safe operation of the top cover 4.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the main body of the limiting block 606 is fitted into the integrated groove 604, and the main body of the limiting block 606 and the integrated groove 604 form a mutual sliding structure through the spring 605.

[0033] In this embodiment, the integrated groove 604 is used to accommodate the limiting block 606, allowing it to slide along the groove. At the same time, it cooperates with the spring 605 to ensure that the limiting block 606 forms a reliable friction lock at the end of the engaging head 603, thereby achieving the functions of stable sealing and quick disassembly of the top cover 4.

[0034] In summary, the device provides a uniform heat source through the heating sleeve 2 on the inner wall of the tank 1, and the stirring component 8 continuously turns the material to achieve uniform heating and dehydration. The top cover 4 is quickly engaged with the tank 1 through the installation component 6, the feed inlet 7 uniformly introduces the concentrated liquid, the limiting block 606 and the spring 605 work together to ensure the top cover 4 is firmly sealed, and with the rotatable base 3, the device can be easily maintained.
