Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granulation technology, specifically to a seasoning granulation and drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In some condiment processing techniques, granulators are used to process raw materials into granules. Existing granulators include a machine body, on which a feeding hopper, a granulation chamber, and a receiving hopper are sequentially arranged. The discharge port of the feeding hopper is connected to the inlet of the granulation chamber via a feeding mechanism. The discharge port of the granulation chamber is connected to the inlet of the receiving hopper. A granulation screening mechanism is located above the discharge port of the granulation chamber. A rolling mechanism and a screen are installed inside the granulation chamber. The rolling mechanism includes a rolling shaft and several scraping shafts parallel to the rolling shaft, arranged on the outer circumference of the rolling shaft. Both ends of the rolling shaft are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the granulation chamber, and one end of the rolling shaft is connected to a power mechanism. The screen is semi-circular and located at the bottom of the rolling mechanism. This equipment effectively reduces manual labor intensity, improves work efficiency, produces uniform particle size, has high granulation efficiency, and good granulation quality.

[0003] Existing pellet mills have the following problems: because they use screens for pelleting, after long-term use, the screens wear out very quickly under continuous extrusion and friction from the material, and are prone to breakage and perforation, requiring frequent shutdowns for replacement, which in turn reduces pelleting efficiency.

[0004] Based on the above situation, there is an urgent need for a seasoning granulation and drying equipment to solve the problem of low granulation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem of low granulation efficiency in existing granulators that use screens for granulation. After long-term use, the screens wear out very quickly due to continuous extrusion and friction from the material, easily becoming damaged or perforated, requiring frequent shutdowns for replacement.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A seasoning granulation and drying device, comprising: The cylinder is used to store materials; An extrusion mechanism is mounted on the cylinder. A perforated plate is detachably mounted on the extrusion mechanism, and a plurality of granulation holes are formed on the perforated plate; A cutting mechanism is located below the perforated plate; A drying mechanism is located below the cutting mechanism.

[0007] Existing granulators, which use screens for granulation, experience rapid screen wear and tear under continuous extrusion and material friction after prolonged use. This leads to breakage, perforation, and frequent downtime for replacement, resulting in reduced granulation efficiency. In this solution, a perforated plate replaces the traditional thin-walled screen, significantly improving the wear resistance and service life of the granulation components. This solves the core problem of rapid screen wear and frequent replacement in the prior art, reducing downtime and improving overall granulation efficiency. The material is conveyed into the cylinder and extruded from the granulation holes by the extrusion mechanism. After being cut into granules by the cutting mechanism, the granules naturally fall into the drying mechanism for drying and shaping, thus resolving the problem of low granulation efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, to reduce extrusion resistance, one feasible solution is that the granulation orifice includes an expansion section and a granulation section connected to the expansion section. With this solution, the expansion section provides a smooth inlet channel for the material, making it easier for the material to enter the granulation orifice. Subsequently, the material enters the granulation section from the expansion section and is gradually compressed and compacted, eventually forming regular particles with consistent density and higher strength in the uniform granulation section. At the same time, this structure makes it less likely for the material to bridge or clog at the inlet. If the granulation orifice becomes clogged, it is also easier to unclog, reducing the difficulty of maintenance and cleaning.

[0009] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the perforated plate, one feasible solution is to install a screw on the cylinder and pass through the perforated plate, with a nut installed on the screw. With this solution, the perforated plate can be easily and quickly installed and disassembled by tightening the nut, and it can withstand the pressure brought by the extrusion mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, to prevent material leakage from the gap between the orifice plate and the cylinder, one feasible solution is to install a sealing gasket between the orifice plate and the cylinder. When this solution is adopted, the sealing gasket can prevent material leakage from the gap between the orifice plate and the cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the extrusion mechanism. One feasible solution is that the extrusion mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder and a piston mounted on the hydraulic cylinder. A feed inlet is formed at the upper part of the cylinder. When this solution is adopted, the hydraulic cylinder serves as a power source and can provide a huge, stable, and precisely controllable extrusion force to ensure that the material is uniformly and fully extruded through the perforated plate, thus ensuring the consistency of particle quality.

[0012] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the cutting mechanism. One feasible solution is that the cutting mechanism includes a motor and a cutting blade driven by the motor. When this solution is adopted, the rotation speed of the motor is matched with the speed of material extrusion, which can more accurately control the length of the cut particles.

[0013] Furthermore, this solution is not limited to the specific structure of the drying mechanism. One feasible solution is that the drying mechanism includes a drying channel and a hot air blower installed on the drying channel. When this solution is adopted, the cut wet particles fall directly into the drying channel below, and the hot air provided by the hot air blower dries them instantly and gently. This can quickly reduce the moisture on the surface of the particles, effectively prevent the wet particles from sticking together and deforming due to accumulation, and maintain the integrity of the particles.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By replacing the traditional thin-walled screen with the perforated plate, the wear resistance and service life of the granulation components are greatly improved, solving the core problem of rapid screen wear and frequent replacement in the background technology. This reduces downtime and improves the overall granulation efficiency. The material is conveyed into the cylinder and squeezed out of the granulation holes by the extrusion mechanism. After being cut into granules by the cutting mechanism, the material naturally falls into the drying mechanism for drying and shaping, thus solving the problem of low granulation efficiency. Second, the granulation orifice includes an expansion section and a granulation section connected to the expansion section. The expansion section provides a gentle inlet channel for the material, making it easier for the material to enter the granulation orifice. Subsequently, the material enters the granulation section through the expansion section and is gradually compressed and compacted, eventually forming regular particles with consistent density and higher strength in the uniform granulation section. At the same time, this structure makes it less likely for the material to bridge or block at the inlet. If the granulation orifice becomes blocked, it is also easier to clear, reducing the difficulty of maintenance and cleaning. Third, since the extrusion mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder and a piston mounted on the hydraulic cylinder, and a feed port is formed at the top of the cylinder, the hydraulic cylinder, as a power source, can provide a huge, stable and precisely controllable extrusion force to ensure that the material is uniformly and fully extruded through the perforated plate, thus ensuring the consistency of particle quality.

[0018] The features and performance of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0019] Example: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A seasoning granulation and drying device, comprising: Cylinder 1, used for storing materials; The extrusion mechanism 2 is installed on the cylinder 1; The perforated plate 3 is detachably mounted on the extrusion mechanism 2, and a plurality of granulation holes 31 are formed on the perforated plate 3. The cutting mechanism 4 is located below the perforated plate 3; The drying mechanism 5 is located below the cutting mechanism 4.

[0020] Existing granulators, which use screens for granulation, experience rapid wear and tear under continuous extrusion and material friction after prolonged use. This leads to breakage, perforation, and frequent downtime for replacement, resulting in reduced granulation efficiency. In this solution, a perforated plate 3 replaces the traditional thin-walled screen, significantly improving the wear resistance and service life of the granulation components. This solves the core problem of rapid screen wear and frequent replacement in the prior art, thereby reducing downtime and improving overall granulation efficiency. The material is conveyed into the cylinder 1 and extruded from the granulation holes 31 by the extrusion mechanism 2. After being cut into granules by the cutting mechanism 4, the granules naturally fall into the drying mechanism 5 for drying and shaping, thus solving the problem of low granulation efficiency.

[0021] Reference Figure 4 To reduce extrusion resistance, one feasible solution is that the granulation orifice 31 includes an expansion section 311 and a granulation section 312 connected to the expansion section 311. With this solution, the expansion section 311 provides a gentle inlet channel for the material, making it easier for the material to enter the granulation orifice 31. Subsequently, the material enters the granulation section 312 from the expansion section 311 and is gradually compressed and compacted, eventually forming regular particles with consistent density and higher strength in the uniform granulation section. At the same time, this structure makes it less likely for the material to bridge or block at the inlet. If the granulation orifice 31 becomes blocked, it is also easier to clear, reducing the difficulty of maintenance and cleaning.

[0022] Reference Figure 5 To facilitate the installation and disassembly of the orifice plate 3, one feasible solution is as follows: a screw 11 is installed on the cylinder 1 and the screw 11 passes through the orifice plate 3. A nut 12 is installed on the screw 11. When this solution is adopted, the orifice plate 3 can be installed and disassembled conveniently and quickly by turning the nut 12, and it can withstand the pressure brought by the extrusion mechanism 2.

[0023] Reference Figure 4 To prevent material leakage from the gap between the orifice plate 3 and the cylinder 1, one feasible solution is to install a sealing gasket 32 ​​between the orifice plate 3 and the cylinder 1. With this solution, the sealing gasket 32 ​​can prevent material leakage from the gap between the orifice plate 3 and the cylinder 1.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 This solution does not limit the specific structure of the extrusion mechanism 2. One feasible solution is that the extrusion mechanism 2 includes a hydraulic cylinder 21 and a piston 22 mounted on the hydraulic cylinder 21. The upper part of the cylinder 1 has a feed port 13. When this solution is adopted, the hydraulic cylinder 21 serves as a power source and can provide a huge, stable and precisely controllable extrusion force to ensure that the material is uniformly and fully extruded through the perforated plate 3, thus ensuring the consistency of particle quality.

[0025] Reference Figure 3This solution does not limit the specific structure of the cutting mechanism 4. One feasible solution is that the cutting mechanism 4 includes a motor 41 and a cutting blade 42 driven by the motor 41. When this solution is adopted, the rotation speed of the motor 41 is matched with the speed of material extrusion, which can more accurately control the length of the cut particles.

[0026] This solution does not limit the specific structure of the drying mechanism 5. One feasible solution is that the drying mechanism 5 includes a drying channel 51 and a hot air blower 52 installed on the drying channel 51. When this solution is adopted, the cut wet particles fall directly into the drying channel 51 below, and the hot air provided by the hot air blower 52 dries them instantly and gently. This can quickly reduce the moisture on the surface of the particles, effectively prevent the wet particles from sticking together and deforming due to accumulation, and maintain the integrity of the particles.

[0027] The working principle of this embodiment: Material is fed into cylinder 1 through feed port 13 at the top of cylinder 1. Then, hydraulic cylinder 21 drives piston 22 to move downward, applying steady pressure to the material in cylinder 1 and forcing it through perforated plate 3. The granulation holes 31 on perforated plate 3 adopt a design combining expansion section 311 and granulation section 312, so that the material can be smoothly introduced and tightly compressed to form uniform strip extrusions. At the same time, the cutting mechanism 4 located directly below perforated plate 3 is activated. The high-speed rotating cutting blade 42 driven by motor 41 precisely cuts these extruded strip materials into wet granules of a predetermined length. Finally, these wet granules fall directly into the drying mechanism 5 at the bottom. In the drying channel 51, they are dried immediately and gently by hot air provided by hot air blower 52, which quickly sets the shape and reduces surface moisture, thereby effectively preventing adhesion and finally obtaining dry, intact, and free-flowing seasoning granules.

[0028] To address the issue of low granulation efficiency, this solution replaces the traditional thin-walled screen with a perforated plate 3, significantly improving the wear resistance and service life of the granulation components. This solves the core problem of rapid screen wear and frequent replacement in the prior art, thereby reducing downtime and improving overall granulation efficiency. The material is conveyed into the cylinder 1 and extruded from the granulation holes 31 by the extrusion mechanism 2. After being cut into granules by the cutting mechanism 4, the granules naturally fall into the drying mechanism 5 for drying and shaping, thus solving the problem of low granulation efficiency.

[0029] To reduce the difficulty of maintenance and cleaning, in this solution, the granulation hole 31 includes an expansion section 311 and a granulation section 312 connected to the expansion section 311. The expansion section 311 provides a gentle inlet channel for the material, making it easier for the material to enter the granulation hole 31. Subsequently, the material enters the granulation section 312 from the expansion section 311 and is gradually compressed and compacted, eventually forming regular particles with consistent density and higher strength in the uniform granulation section. At the same time, this structure makes it less likely for the material to bridge or block at the inlet. If the granulation hole 31 becomes blocked, it is also easier to clear, reducing the difficulty of maintenance and cleaning.

[0030] To ensure the consistency of particle quality, in this scheme, since the extrusion mechanism 2 includes a hydraulic cylinder 21 and a piston 22 mounted on the hydraulic cylinder 21, and a feed port 13 is formed at the upper part of the cylinder 1, the hydraulic cylinder 21, as a power source, can provide a huge, stable and precisely controllable extrusion force to ensure that the material is uniformly and fully extruded through the perforated plate 3, thus ensuring the consistency of particle quality.
