Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nutritional product granulation technology, specifically to a powdered nutritional product granulation machine. Background Technology

[0002] To ensure the safety and convenience of nutritional supplements, it is necessary to process powdered nutritional supplements into granules, which necessitates nutritional supplement granulation equipment. A patent with publication number CN222489943U discloses a powdered nutritional supplement granulator. During operation, the sealed lid is opened, and the powdered nutritional supplement is added to the inside of the tank through the inlet. Simultaneously, a fan generates suction inside the tank via a blower, drawing the dispersed powdered nutritional supplement into the tank through the inlet and filtering it at the bottom of the filter screen. A motor 1 stirs the powdered nutritional supplement via a rotating rod, causing it to fall to the inside of a sleeve. A second motor drives a screw plate to press and push the powdered nutritional supplement towards the left end of the sleeve, gradually compacting it. The compressed powdered nutritional supplement is then extruded through an extrusion port, forming strip-shaped nutritional supplements. A third motor drives a cutter to rotate, cutting the extruded strip-shaped nutritional supplements into granules, which are then rolled downwards by an inclined plate. This eliminates the need for adding water to the powdered nutritional supplements, thus eliminating the need for subsequent drying of the granulated nutritional supplements, improving work efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0003] In the aforementioned existing technology, the material suction stage of the blower relies on the filter screen to intercept and collect the powdered nutrients. As the granulation process progresses, the powdered nutrients at the bottom of the filter screen will gradually accumulate. If not cleaned in time, the air permeability of the filter screen will decrease, the blower suction will weaken, the material suction efficiency will be greatly reduced, and the efficiency and stability of subsequent granulation will be affected.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Example

[0032] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a powdered nutritional supplement granulator, applied to the granulation processing of powdered nutritional supplements. It solves the problem of existing granulators relying on filter screens for material suction, leading to filter screen blockage, reduced suction efficiency, and consequently affecting granulation continuity. Through an orderly feeding and uniform conveying design, it avoids the splashing of powdery materials, achieving continuous and stable granulation, and improving processing efficiency and product quality. The granulator includes a support frame 3, a support platform 2, a processing cylinder 1, and a drive assembly. The support frame 3 and support platform 2 provide installation support, the processing cylinder 1 is the core granulation area, and the drive assembly provides power for each action, collaboratively completing mixing, crushing, pelletizing, and discharging.

[0033] Specifically, the support frame 3 is a rigid support structure, the support platform 2 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support frame 3, and the processing cylinder 1 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support platform 2. The overall structure is stable and can avoid severe vibration during the granulation process, which would affect the processing accuracy. The processing cylinder 1 is a long cylinder structure, including a cylinder body 5 fixed on the support platform 2. One side of the cylinder body 5 is connected to an inlet 6 for feeding powdered nutrient raw materials into the cylinder. The top of the cylinder body 5 is designed as a bucket shape to expand the feeding area, facilitate the centralized introduction of raw materials, and reduce the spillage and waste of raw materials.

[0034] A rotating shaft 7 is vertically inserted and rotatably mounted inside the processing cylinder 1. A motor 15 is fixedly mounted on the support platform 2. The output end of the motor 15 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 7 via a bevel gear set 16. When the motor 15 starts, the rotating shaft 7 is driven to rotate stably inside the cylinder 5 through the reversing and power transmission of the bevel gear set 16. A baffle 8 is fixedly mounted at the top of the rotating shaft 7. The baffle 8 is located inside the bucket-shaped structure at the top of the cylinder 5 and is designed as a cavity structure. A pair of opposing openings are opened on its outer wall. When powdered raw materials are introduced through the bucket-shaped structure, the baffle 8 guides the raw materials to enter the cylinder 5 intermittently through the openings, avoiding the accumulation of raw materials caused by a large influx at once. At the same time, it prevents the raw materials from splashing upwards during subsequent stirring, reducing dust dispersion and raw material loss.

[0035] A spiral plate 9 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 7. The spiral plate 9 extends spirally along the length of the rotating shaft 7. When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, the spiral plate 9 rotates synchronously, generating axial thrust on the paste-like nutrient product that enters the cylinder 5 and mixes with the slurry, realizing pressurized conveying and pushing the paste-like material to move steadily downward, effectively preventing the material from stagnating and accumulating in the cylinder. A water pump 4 is fixedly installed on the support frame 3. The inlet end of the water pump 4 is connected to an external water pipe through a pipeline, and the outlet end is connected to the processing cylinder 1 through a pipeline. During operation, the water pump 4 introduces an appropriate amount of slurry into the cylinder 5, so that the powdered raw materials and slurry are fully mixed to form a paste, providing a suitable material state for subsequent grinding and granulation without the need for additional water adjustment, simplifying the operation process.

[0036] A baffle plate 11 is fixedly installed inside the processing cylinder 1, extending horizontally and having a second pair of evenly distributed interfaces 20. A movable plate 10 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 7, parallel to and tightly fitted with the baffle plate 11, and has a first pair of evenly distributed interfaces 19 on its outer wall. When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, it drives the movable plate 10 to rotate synchronously, causing the first pair of interfaces 19 and the second pair of interfaces 20 on the baffle plate 11 to continuously correspond and misalign. When they correspond, the paste-like material pushed by the spiral plate 9 can flow downward through the interfaces; when they misalign, the interfaces are closed, and the material temporarily stops falling. This design effectively prevents material from splashing in all directions during the rolling process, while achieving uniform conveying through intermittent opening of the interfaces, ensuring a stable material supply for subsequent rolling processes.

[0037] A perforated plate 12 is fixedly installed inside the processing cylinder 1. The perforated plate 12 is located below the baffle plate 11. The plate surface has evenly distributed through holes. A pair of rolling rollers 13 are symmetrically mounted on the rotating shaft 7. The bottom surface of the rolling rollers 13 rolls against the top surface of the perforated plate 12. When the rotating shaft 7 drives the rolling rollers 13 to rotate around their own axis, the rolling rollers 13 roll on the perforated plate 12, generating a rolling force on the paste material that falls onto the perforated plate 12 through the interface. This causes the paste material to be extruded through the through holes of the perforated plate 12, forming a cylindrical solid strip, thus completing the initial granulation process.

[0038] A cutter 18 is also fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 7. The cutter 18 is located below the perforated plate 12, and its blade is close to the bottom surface of the perforated plate 12. When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, the cutter 18 rotates at high speed in sync, which quickly cuts the cylindrical strips squeezed out from the through holes of the perforated plate 12 to form uniform granular nutrients and improve the product uniformity. A discharge port is provided on one side of the bottom of the cylinder 5. A guide bucket 14 is fixedly installed inside the cylinder 5. The outer wall of the guide bucket 14 is set as an inclined surface. The rotating shaft 7 is inserted into the guide bucket 14 and rotated. The granular nutrients cut by the cutter 18 slide down the inclined surface of the guide bucket 14 and gather towards the discharge port. A scraper 17 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 7. The end face of the scraper 17 slides against the outer wall of the guide bucket 14. When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, it drives the scraper 17 to rotate synchronously, continuously scraping the granules attached to the guide bucket 14 to avoid the granules sticking and accumulating, ensuring that the granules are smoothly discharged from the discharge port and realizing continuous discharge.

[0039] In actual production, the starter motor 15 and water pump 4 are activated. The water pump 4 introduces mixed slurry into the processing cylinder 1, and the powdered nutrient raw materials are fed into the bucket-shaped structure at the top of the cylinder 5 through the inlet 6. The baffle 8 guides the raw materials intermittently into the cylinder through the opening. The rotating shaft 7 drives the spiral plate 9 to rotate, so that the raw materials and slurry are mixed to form a paste and conveyed downward under pressure. The movable plate 10 rotates with the rotating shaft 7, and the first pair of interfaces 19 and the second pair of interfaces 20 alternately correspond to each other, conveying the paste material evenly to the perforated plate 12. The rolling roller 13 rolls and rolls on the perforated plate 12, and the material is extruded through the through holes to form strips. The cutter 18 cuts the strip material into granules. The granules slide down the guide bucket 14, and the scraper 17 scrapes the granules out from the discharge port. The whole process does not rely on the filter screen to suck up the material, avoiding the problem of blockage and achieving continuous and stable granulation.

In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
