Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of edible hydrolyzed protein peptide powder production equipment, and in particular to a drying tower atomizing spraying device that increases material travel. Background Technology

[0002] The raw material for edible hydrolyzed protein peptide powder comes from qualified livestock and poultry blood. It is a white or light yellow powder that is easily soluble in water. Thanks to a unique enzymatic directional hydrolysis process, the product boasts advantages such as small molecular weight (more than 90% below 1500 Daltons) and high bioactivity. It is widely used in protein supplements for the middle-aged and elderly, sports drinks, functional beverages, post-operative recovery nutrition products, enteral nutrition preparations, hangover relief and liver protection products, weight loss aids, nutritional supplements for people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar, as well as skincare products such as masks, eye creams, and lotions.

[0003] In the peptide powder production process, biological raw materials (such as pig blood) that have undergone enzymatic directional hydrolysis and homogenization need to be dried. The traditional method is to put the material into a drying tower, where it enters from the top and falls, relying on the internal temperature of the drying tower to achieve drying. However, this method has strict requirements on the height of the drying tower. Currently, the height of the drying tower used by customers cannot meet the required falling time of the material, resulting in poor drying effect and affecting product quality. Therefore, a drying tower atomizing spraying device that increases the material travel is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying tower atomizing spraying device that increases the material travel distance. By changing the way the material enters the drying tower, the atomized material moves upward first and then falls, effectively increasing the residence time of the material in the drying tower, ensuring that the material can be fully dried, significantly improving the drying effect, and improving the product quality of edible hydrolyzed protein peptide powder.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a drying tower atomizing spraying device for increasing material travel, comprising a drying tower, wherein several atomizing spray pipes are evenly arranged at two-thirds of the height of the drying tower, the atomizing nozzle of each atomizing spray pipe extends into the interior of the drying tower with the nozzle facing upward, a hot air inlet is provided at the top of the drying tower, a hot air outlet is provided at the bottom of the drying tower, a hot air circulation pipe connecting the hot air outlet and the hot air inlet is welded to the outside of the drying tower, a fan and a heating device are installed on the hot air circulation pipe, humidity sensors are bolted to different height positions inside the drying tower, and a feed control valve electrically connected to the humidity sensor is installed at the material inlet of the atomizing spray pipe.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that a flange is fixedly connected inside the drying tower, the flange abuts against the sealing cover, and a sealing gasket is provided at the contact end between the flange and the sealing cover.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing gasket can easily ensure the seal between the flange and the sealing cover, preventing air from flowing out between the flange and the sealing cover.

[0011] A further feature of this invention is that the fan is installed in the hot air circulation pipe near the hot air outlet, and the heating device is installed in the hot air circulation pipe downstream of the fan.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-4A drying tower atomizing spraying device for increasing material travel includes a drying tower 1. Several atomizing spray pipes 2 are evenly arranged at two-thirds of the height of the drying tower 1. The atomizing nozzle 3 of each atomizing spray pipe 2 extends into the drying tower 1 with the nozzle facing upward. A hot air inlet 4 is opened at the top of the drying tower 1, and a hot air outlet 5 is opened at the bottom of the drying tower 1. A hot air circulation pipe 6 connecting the hot air outlet 5 and the hot air inlet 4 is welded to the outside of the drying tower 1. A fan 7 and a heating device 8 are installed on the hot air circulation pipe 6. Humidity sensors 9 are bolted to different height positions inside the drying tower 1. A feed control valve 10 electrically connected to the humidity sensor 9 is installed at the material inlet of the atomizing spray pipe 2. The heating device 8 is an OMRON E5CC-RT intelligent temperature control heater, and the humidity sensor 9 is a HIH-4000-001 humidity sensor.

[0034] First, during the drying process of producing edible hydrolyzed protein peptide powder, the homogenized material is conveyed to the atomizing nozzle 2 via the material conveying system and sprayed into the drying tower 1 in an atomized state from the atomizing nozzle 3. Since the nozzle 3 faces upward, the atomized material moves upward first, and after reaching a certain height, it begins to fall downward under the action of gravity. During the upward and downward movement of the material, it comes into full contact with the hot air circulating inside the drying tower 1, and is dried using the temperature inside the drying tower 1.

[0035] Hot air enters the drying tower 1 through the hot air inlet 4, exchanges heat with the material, and then carries moisture out through the hot air outlet 5. It then enters the hot air circulation pipe 6, where it flows along the hot air circulation pipe 6 under the action of the fan 7. When it passes through the heating device 8, it is replenished with heat, and then it enters the drying tower 1 again through the hot air inlet 4, thus achieving recycling.

[0036] Humidity sensors 9 located at different parts of the inner wall of drying tower 1 monitor the humidity of different areas inside drying tower 1 in real time and transmit the data to microcontroller 20. When humidity sensor 9 detects that the humidity inside the tower exceeds the preset value, microcontroller 20 automatically adjusts the feed control valve 10 to reduce the amount of material fed in, so as to avoid insufficient drying due to excessive material. When the humidity is lower than the preset value, microcontroller 20 appropriately increases the amount of material fed in, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0037] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A sealing cover 11 is slidably connected to the outside of the atomizing nozzle 2. A spring 12 located outside the atomizing nozzle 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sealing cover 11. A fixing ring 13 is bolted to the outside of the atomizing nozzle 2 and fixedly connected to the end of the spring 12 away from the sealing cover 11.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, when installing the atomizing nozzle 2, the nozzle of the atomizing nozzle 2 is inserted into the interior of the drying tower 1 with the atomizing nozzle 3 facing upward. Then, the fixing ring 13 is fixed on the outside of the drying tower 1. At this time, the sealing cover 11 abuts against the outside of the inner flange 16 of the drying tower 1, and the spring 12 is compressed, so that the sealing cover 11 and the flange 16 fit tightly together.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 A connecting piece 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing ring 13, and an mounting piece 15 is bolted to the outside of the drying tower 1. The mounting piece 15 and the connecting piece 14 are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, the outer side of the atomizing nozzle 2 is connected to the connecting piece 14 via a fixing ring 13, and the connecting piece 14 is bolted to the mounting piece 15, thereby fixing the atomizing nozzle 2 inside the drying tower 1.

[0041] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The drying tower 1 is internally fixedly connected to a flange 16, which abuts against a sealing cover 11. A sealing gasket is provided at the contact end between the flange 16 and the sealing cover 11.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, when the flange 16 and the sealing cover 11 come into contact, the outer sealing gasket of the flange 16 comes into contact with the sealing cover 11, thereby preventing air leakage between the flange 16 and the sealing cover 11.

[0043] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The fan 7 is installed in the hot air circulation pipe 6 near the hot air outlet 5, and the heating device 8 is installed on the hot air circulation pipe 6 downstream of the fan 7.

[0044] In a specific implementation, the heating device 8 and the fan 7 are started, so that the fan 7 first heats the air inside the drying tower 1 through the heating device 8, and then sends it into the hot air circulation pipe 6. Then it re-enters the drying tower 1 and then enters the drying tower 1 again through the hot air inlet 4, so as to achieve recycling.

[0045] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The hot air inlet 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the hot air circulation pipe 6, the bottom of the hot air circulation pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the fan 7, the air outlet of the heating device 8 is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the fan 7, and the hot air outlet 5 is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the heating device 8.

[0046] In a specific implementation, by starting the fan 7, the hot air inside the drying tower 1 enters the heating device 8 through the hot air outlet 5. Then, the heating device 8 heats the air and it enters the hot air circulation pipe 6 through the fan 7, and finally re-enters the interior of the drying tower 1 through the hot air inlet 4.

[0047] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inlet of the atomizing nozzle 2 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the feed control valve 10. The inlet of the feed control valve 10 is fixedly connected to a diverter pipe 17, which is fixedly connected to the material feed pipe.

[0048] In a specific implementation, the biological raw material after being homogenized by enzymatic hydrolysis enters the diversion pipe 17 through the feed pipe, then enters the atomizing nozzle 2 through the feed control valve 10, and finally is sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle 3. The feed control valve 10 can control the amount of material fed by transmitting data to the microcontroller 20 through the humidity sensor 9 and according to the instructions issued by the microcontroller 20.

[0049] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 There are six atomizing nozzles 2 arranged in a circular array. The inner wall of the drying tower 1 is bolted to a protective shell 18 located outside the humidity sensor 9. The surface of the shell is designed with fine filter holes and the protective shell 18 is made of stainless steel.

[0050] In a specific implementation, the humidity sensor 9 facilitates timely detection of the humidity inside the drying tower 1, thereby controlling the material feed rate by controlling the feed control valve 10 through the control system. The protective shell 18 prevents material from entering the humidity sensor 9 and affecting its normal operation. The filter holes on the outside of the protective shell 18 allow air to enter and exit freely, enabling the humidity sensor 9 to detect accurate humidity, while effectively blocking material particles from entering.

[0051] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 A connecting lug 21 is welded to the outside of the drying tower 1, and a protective fence 22 is welded to the top of the connecting lug 21. The fan 7 is welded to the outside of the protective fence 22.

[0052] In a specific implementation, the connecting ear plate 21 and the protective fence 22 facilitate workers to stand on top of the connecting ear plate 21 in a timely manner to perform maintenance and inspection on the connection between the drying tower 1 and the atomizing nozzle 2, while the protective fence 22 protects the safety of the workers.

[0053] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 A support frame 19 is welded to the bottom of the connecting ear plate 21. The heating device 8 is welded to the outside of the support frame 19. A microcontroller 20 is fixedly connected to the outside of the support frame 19. The model of the microcontroller is AT89C51.

[0054] In a specific implementation, when the humidity sensor 9 detects that the humidity inside the drying tower 1 is high, exceeding the set value, the humidity sensor 9 sends a signal to the microcontroller 20. The microcontroller 20, according to the pre-set program, controls the feed control valve 10 to reduce the feed rate of the atomizing nozzle 2, thereby ensuring that the material entering the drying tower 1 is fully dried. When the humidity sensor 9 detects that the humidity inside the drying tower 1 is low, below the set value, the humidity sensor 9 sends a signal to the microcontroller 20. The microcontroller 20, according to the pre-set program, controls the feed control valve 10 to increase the feed rate of the atomizing nozzle 2.
