Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chondroitin sulfate production technology, specifically a drying device for chondroitin sulfate production. Background Technology

[0002] Chondroitin sulfate is widely distributed in the extracellular matrix and cell surface of animal tissues, playing many important physiological functions. The fine structure of chondroitin sulfate determines the specificity of its function and its interaction with various protein molecules. In medicine, it is mainly used as a drug to treat joint diseases, and it can also be used as a health product and food additive to enhance human physical fitness.

[0003] Chondroitin sulfate is mostly produced in powder form. When it comes into contact with air or processing equipment, it becomes quite moist and requires drying using other equipment to ensure better storage and processing.

[0004] The drying equipment currently used is a vacuum rake dryer, which can preserve the active ingredients of chondroitin sulfate under vacuum conditions. The material is heated evenly by turning it over with rakes, avoiding local overheating. It has a good drying effect and is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0005] However, after the chondroitin sulfate material is dried, some chondroitin sulfate material remains on the rake when it is discharged through the discharge pipe at the bottom of the vacuum rake dryer.

[0006] Therefore, the applicant has developed a new technical solution in the actual production process to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drying device for chondroitin sulfate production, which has the advantage of reducing the retention of chondroitin sulfate material on the rake when the material is discharged after drying.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a drying device for the production of chondroitin sulfate, including a horizontally distributed cylinder and a horizontally distributed rotating rod rotatably disposed inside the cylinder. The outer wall of the rotating rod is provided with a plurality of rakes circumferentially, each of the rakes including a connecting rod fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod and a connecting plate disposed on the connecting rod away from the outer wall of the rotating rod. The connecting plates are distributed close to the inner wall of the cylinder. The upper end wall of the cylinder is provided with a feed pipe and the lower end wall is provided with a discharge pipe. A rotating roller is provided inside the cylinder along the length direction of the cylinder. The rotating roller is fixedly connected to or detached from the rotating rod through a connecting member.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, chondroitin sulfate material is placed in the cylinder for drying. The rotation of the rotating rod causes the rakes to agitate the chondroitin sulfate material, thus facilitating its drying. After drying, a shut-off valve or a detachable sealing plate is installed on the discharge pipe. At this time, the shut-off valve or sealing plate is opened, allowing the chondroitin sulfate material to flow out of the discharge pipe. During the discharge of the chondroitin sulfate material, the connecting piece releases the fixed connection between the rotating roller and the rotating rod, so that the rotating roller does not rotate with the rotating rod. This allows the rotating rod to rotate during the discharge of the chondroitin sulfate material, accelerating the discharge of the chondroitin sulfate material. In addition, the rakes drive the rotating roller to rise to the highest position with the rakes, and then the rotating roller falls freely, striking another rake. The rake vibrates, and the rotating rod, which is fixedly connected to the rake, also vibrates. The rotating rod transmits the vibration to the other rakes, reducing the retention of chondroitin sulfate material on the rakes.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting member includes connecting rods disposed at both ends along the length of the rotating roller. The end of the connecting rod away from the rotating roller is provided with a turntable sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod. The two turntables are respectively distributed close to the left and right side walls of the cylinder. The cylinder is provided with a limiting member to restrict the turntables from rotating together with the rotating rod.

[0011] Preferably, both horizontal ends of the cylinder are provided with support plates, and both ends of the rotating rod extend out of the outer wall of the cylinder and are rotatably connected to the support plates. One of the support plates is provided with an electric motor that drives the rotating rod to rotate.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting member includes a drive hole on a rotating rod at the end away from the motor. One end of the drive hole extends out of the end of the rotating rod away from the motor, and the other end extends into the cylinder. A push rod is slidably connected inside the drive hole. The rotating rod has a corresponding hole at the position of the corresponding turntable that communicates with the drive hole. A locking block that enters the inner wall of the turntable is slidably connected inside the corresponding hole. The lower end of the locking block has an inclined surface one, and the push rod has an inclined surface two that corresponds to the inclined surface one. When the push rod is pulled to move away from the drive hole, the inclined surface two presses the inclined surface one upward, causing one end of the locking block to enter the inner wall of the turntable.

[0013] Preferably, the push rod is provided with two guide plates distributed along the second inclined surface, and the lower end face of the locking block is provided with a guide block that slides between the two guide plates and the second inclined surface, and the first inclined surface is provided on the side where the guide block slides with the second inclined surface.

[0014] Preferably, the rotating roller is provided with a plurality of counterweights spaced apart along the length of the rotating roller.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Chondroitin sulfate material is placed inside the cylinder for drying. The rotating rod causes the rakes to agitate the chondroitin sulfate material, thus facilitating its drying. After drying, a shut-off valve or a detachable sealing plate is installed on the discharge pipe. Opening the shut-off valve or sealing plate allows the chondroitin sulfate material to flow out of the discharge pipe. During the discharge process, the connecting piece releases the fixed connection between the rotating roller and the rotating rod, preventing the roller from rotating with the rod. This allows the rotating rod to rotate during the discharge process, accelerating the discharge of the chondroitin sulfate material. Furthermore, the rakes drive the rotating roller to rise to the highest position, after which the roller falls freely, striking another rake. The rake vibrates, and since it is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, the rod also vibrates, transmitting the vibration to the other rakes and reducing the retention of chondroitin sulfate material on the rakes.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] A drying apparatus for the production of chondroitin sulfate, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dryer includes a horizontally distributed vacuum rake dryer cylinder 1 and horizontally distributed rotating rods 11 rotatably disposed inside the cylinder 1. Several rakes are arranged circumferentially on the outer wall of the rotating rods 11. Each rake includes a connecting rod 12 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 11 and a connecting plate 121 disposed on the connecting rod 12 away from the outer wall of the rotating rod 11. The connecting plate 121 is distributed close to the inner wall of the cylinder 1. The upper end wall of the cylinder 1 is provided with a feed pipe 13 and the lower end wall is provided with a discharge pipe 14. The feed pipe 13 and the discharge pipe 14 are both existing structures of vacuum rake dryers, which will not be described in detail here. Rotating rollers 15 are arranged along the length of the cylinder 1 inside the cylinder 1. The rotating rollers 15 are staggered with each connecting rod 12. The rotating rollers 15 are fixedly connected to or de-fixedly connected to the rotating rods 11 through connecting parts.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The chondroitin sulfate material is placed in the cylinder 1 for drying. The rotating rod 11 rotates, causing the rakes to agitate the chondroitin sulfate material, thus facilitating the drying process. After drying, the discharge pipe 14 is equipped with a shut-off valve or a detachably connected sealing plate. At this time, the shut-off valve or sealing plate is opened, allowing the chondroitin sulfate material to flow out of the discharge pipe 14. During the discharge of the chondroitin sulfate material, the connecting piece releases the fixed connection between the rotating roller 15 and the rotating rod 11, so that the rotating roller 15 does not rotate with the rotating rod 11. This allows the rotating rod 11 to rotate during the discharge process, accelerating the discharge of the chondroitin sulfate material. It also causes the rakes to drive the rotating roller 15 to rise to the highest position with the rakes, after which the rotating roller 15 falls freely and strikes another rake. The rake vibrates, and the rotating rod 11, which is fixedly connected to the rake, also vibrates. The rotating rod 11 transmits the vibration to the other rakes, reducing the retention of chondroitin sulfate material on the rakes.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 In addition, a number of counterweights 19 are provided at intervals along the length of the roller 15. The design of the counterweights 19 facilitates accelerating the free fall speed of the roller 15.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The connecting component includes connecting rods 151 disposed at both ends of the roller 15 along its length. The end of the connecting rod 151 away from the roller 15 is provided with a turntable 152 sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 11. The two turntables 152 are respectively distributed close to the left and right side walls of the cylinder 1. The cylinder 1 is provided with a limiting component to restrict the turntables 152 from rotating together with the rotating rod 11.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 Both ends of the cylinder 1 are provided with support plates 16, and both ends of the rotating rod 11 extend out of the outer wall of the cylinder 1 and are rotatably connected to the support plates 16. One of the support plates 16 is provided with a motor 161 that drives the rotating rod 11 to rotate.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 The limiting component includes a drive hole 17 on a rotating rod 11 located away from the motor 161. One end of the drive hole 17 extends out of the rotating rod 11 away from the motor 161, and the other end extends into the cylinder 1. A push rod 171 is slidably connected inside the drive hole 17. The rotating rod 11 has a corresponding hole 172 at the position corresponding to the turntable 152, which communicates with the drive hole 17. A locking block 173 that enters the inner wall of the turntable 152 is slidably connected inside the corresponding hole 172. One end of the locking block 173 that enters the turntable 152 is a pointed end. The lower end of the locking block 173 has an inclined surface 181. The push rod 171 has an inclined surface 18 corresponding to the inclined surface 181. When the push rod 171 is pulled to move away from the drive hole 17, the inclined surface 18 pushes the inclined surface 181 upward, so that one end of the locking block 173 enters the inner wall of the turntable 152.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 The push rod 171 has two guide plates 182 distributed along the inclined surface 18. The lower end face of the locking block 173 has a guide block 183 that slides between the two guide plates 182 and the inclined surface 18. The inclined surface 181 is located on the side where the guide block 183 slides against the inclined surface 18. The purpose of this design is that when the inclined surface 18 is pushed to press the inclined surface 181, the guide block 183 slides between the guide plates 182 and the inclined surface 18, thereby facilitating the up-and-down movement of the locking block 173 and locking the turntable 152 onto the rotating rod 11.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4When discharging material after drying, the motor 161 still drives the rotating rod 11 to rotate, but at a slower speed. At this time, the operator stands on one side of the support plate 16 and pushes the push rod 171 into the drive hole 17, so that the guide plate 182 on the inclined surface 18 drives the guide block 183 to move away from the turntable 152, thereby moving the locking block 173 into the rotating rod 11, so that the turntable 152 is disconnected from the rotating rod 11, and the rotating rod 11 will not drive the turntable 152 to rotate when it rotates. After the material is discharged, the operator moves away from the drive hole 17 and pulls the push rod 171, so that the inclined surface 18 on the push rod 171 presses the inclined surface 181 upward, thereby moving the locking block 173 out of the rotating rod 11, until the rotating rod 11 rotates to be opposite to the hole on the turntable 152 for the locking block 173 to be inserted. At this time, the locking block 173 can be moved into the turntable 152, thereby restricting the turntable 152 to the rotating rod 11 again.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 To fix the push rod 171 after it has been moved to the desired position, a limiting plate 191 is rotatably provided on the outer wall of the drive hole 17 extending from the push rod 171. The limiting plate 191 is rotatably set so that the user can push the push rod 171 by holding the limiting plate 191. The limiting plate 191 is located on the side of the support plate 16 away from the cylinder 1. A threaded rod 192 is threadedly connected to the surface of the limiting plate 191. One end of the threaded rod 192 is screwed into the support plate 16. When it is necessary to move the push rod 171, the threaded rod 192 only needs to be screwed away from the support plate 16. Then, after the push rod 171 has been moved to the position, the threaded rod 192 is rotated so that one end of the threaded rod 192 is screwed into the support plate 16 and threadedly connected to the support plate 16. At this time, the position of the limiting plate 191 is fixed, which also fixes the position of the push rod 171. At this time, the threaded rod 192 is located at the lower end of the rotating rod 11 and there is a gap between the threaded rod 192 and the rotating rod 11.

[0029] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
