Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of granulation machines, and specifically relates to a flavoring addition structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the production processes of granular materials in the food and pharmaceutical industries, flavorings, as key flavor or functional additives, directly affect the product's flavor consistency, quality stability, and hygiene safety. Currently, the industry mainly uses two methods for adding flavorings to granular materials: Adding flavorings during the material pretreatment stage, that is, mixing flavorings with raw material powders before subsequent molding and processing, can easily lead to the loss of flavorings due to high temperature, stirring, pulverization and other operations during subsequent processing. In addition, mixing powder and liquid flavorings is difficult and can easily lead to local aggregation or uneven dispersion, which seriously affects the uniformity of product flavor. Adding fragrance manually after the material is formed, i.e., adding fragrance manually by spraying and stirring after the granular material is formed, is inefficient and labor-intensive, and cannot meet the needs of continuous production. The spraying process lacks precise control, resulting in uneven fragrance coverage. At the same time, manual stirring can easily cause particle breakage, affecting the product shape. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a fragrance addition structure to solve the problem of efficient and uniform spraying of fragrances onto particulate materials.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A flavoring addition structure includes a discharge cylinder at the bottom of a granulator, a flavoring spray nozzle installed at the bottom of the discharge cylinder, and a spraying assembly provided on the flavoring spray nozzle; The spray assembly includes a liquid storage interface disposed outside the fragrance spray cylinder and a liquid delivery rod disposed inside the fragrance spray cylinder. A fragrance nozzle is installed in the middle of the liquid delivery rod. The fragrance nozzle is used to uniformly spray fragrance into the fragrance spray cylinder, and the fragrance is uniformly attached to the particles discharged from the discharge cylinder.

[0005] Furthermore, the infusion rod has a liquid supply channel, the fragrance nozzle is connected to the end of the liquid supply channel, and the liquid storage interface is connected to the beginning of the liquid supply channel; The two end faces of the infusion rod are welded and fixed to the inner wall of the fragrance spray nozzle.

[0006] Furthermore, the liquid storage interface is used to connect to a pressure pump tank, which is used to introduce pressure-stabilized flavoring liquid into the liquid supply channel when the granulator discharges material, and simultaneously to reverse-pump the flavoring liquid in the liquid supply channel when the granulator stops working.

[0007] Furthermore, a gas pump inlet is provided at the liquid storage interface. The gas pump inlet is used to introduce high-pressure gas into the liquid supply channel and atomize the fragrance liquid before spraying it out from the fragrance spray nozzle.

[0008] Furthermore, the fragrance nozzle is positioned above the infusion rod and sprays fragrance upwards. An adjustment valve is provided below the infusion rod to adjust the spray volume of the fragrance nozzle.

[0009] Furthermore, a conical guide orifice is fixed to the inner wall of the fragrance spray nozzle. The conical guide orifice is located below the spray assembly and is used to guide whole particles to be discharged along the side wall of the conical guide orifice.

[0010] Furthermore, the fragrance spray head includes a wide-angle circular nozzle for spraying fragrance upwards, and a fan-shaped nozzle disposed on the side wall of the fragrance spray cylinder, wherein the fragrance sprayed by the fan-shaped nozzle is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the conical guide port.

[0011] Furthermore, the fan-shaped nozzle sprays downwards at an angle.

[0012] Furthermore, the fragrance spray nozzle is provided with multiple flow channels, one of which is connected to the wide-angle circular nozzle, and the remaining flow channels are connected to the fan-shaped nozzle.

[0013] Furthermore, the diameter of the flow channel connected to the fan-shaped nozzle is the same, and both are smaller than the diameter of the flow channel connected to the wide-angle circular nozzle.

[0014] The present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: 1. The flavoring addition structure of this application is set at the discharge end of the granulator. By integrating a spray component at the discharge end, the flavoring can be evenly sprayed into the flavoring spray cylinder at the same time as the granulated material is discharged from the discharge cylinder. This achieves synchronous and uniform mixing of the material and flavoring after granulation, reduces flavoring volatilization and pollution, and solves the defects of low efficiency and uneven coverage of manual addition. It greatly improves the efficiency and uniformity of flavoring addition, is compatible with the modification of existing granulators, and is suitable for flavoring addition processes of granulated materials in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

[0015] 2. This application, through the pressure pump tank's pressure-stabilized liquid supply and reverse suction design, and in conjunction with the regulating valve, can precisely control the supply pressure and flow rate of the fragrance, ensuring stable fragrance spraying, so that the particulate materials can be coated with fragrance, and can reduce fragrance residue through reverse suction, reduce waste and blockage risk, and improve the stability and economy of the production process.

[0016] 3. Since the wide-angle circular nozzle can only spray fragrance on one side of the particles, if there are many particles, it is difficult to cover the entire particle. Therefore, this application sets a conical guide in the fragrance spraying tube so that the discharged particles can slide down the side wall of the conical guide and then be sprayed with fragrance downward through the fan-shaped nozzle to achieve more uniform fragrance addition to the particles.

[0019] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a flavoring addition structure includes a discharge cylinder 1 at the bottom of a granulator and a flavoring spray cylinder 2 installed at the bottom of the discharge cylinder 1. A clamp 5 is provided between the flavoring spray cylinder 2 and the discharge cylinder 1, so that the two can be detachably connected, which facilitates subsequent installation, maintenance and component replacement.

[0021] The fragrance spray nozzle 2 is equipped with a spray assembly 3. The spray assembly 3 includes a liquid storage interface 31 located outside the fragrance spray nozzle 2 and a delivery rod 32 located inside the fragrance spray nozzle 2. The two end faces of the delivery rod 32 are welded and fixed to the inner wall of the fragrance spray nozzle 2 to ensure the installation stability of the delivery rod 32 inside the fragrance spray nozzle 2.

[0022] The infusion rod 32 has a liquid supply channel 321. The liquid storage interface 31 is connected to the beginning of the liquid supply channel 321. The liquid storage interface 31 is used to connect to an external pressure pump tank. The pressure pump tank can introduce pressure-stabilized flavoring liquid into the liquid supply channel 321 when the granulator discharges material. At the same time, when the granulator stops working, it can reverse the flow and suck up the residual flavoring liquid in the liquid supply channel 321 to avoid channel blockage or waste caused by flavoring residue. The pressure pump tank is existing technology equipment, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here, nor is it shown in the figure.

[0023] A fragrance nozzle 33 is installed in the middle of the infusion rod 32. The fragrance nozzle 33 is connected to the end of the liquid supply channel 321, allowing the fragrance in the liquid supply channel 321 to be smoothly delivered to the fragrance nozzle 33. In addition, a gas pump inlet 322 is provided at the liquid storage interface 31. The gas pump inlet 322 is used to introduce high-pressure gas into the liquid supply channel 321 and atomize the fragrance liquid before spraying it out from the fragrance spray nozzle 2. Specifically, high-pressure gas is first introduced into the liquid supply channel 321, and the fragrance liquid is drawn in by the siphon effect and atomized and sprayed out at high pressure from the fragrance spray nozzle 2.

[0024] The fragrance nozzle 33 is positioned above the infusion rod 32, and sprays fragrance upwards. A regulating valve 6 is located below the infusion rod 32; adjusting the valve 6 via a knob allows for adjustment of the amount of fragrance sprayed from the nozzle 33. The upward spraying of fragrance from the nozzle 33 increases the diffusion range of the fragrance within the fragrance spray tube 2, thereby ensuring sufficient contact between the particles and the fragrance.

[0025] Example 2 The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a conical guide orifice 4 is also provided inside the fragrance spray nozzle 2. The conical guide orifice 4 is fixed inside the fragrance spray nozzle 2 and is located below the spray assembly 3. The fragrance nozzle 33 includes a wide-angle circular nozzle at the top and multiple fan-shaped nozzles on the side wall of the fragrance nozzle 33. The fan-shaped nozzles spray downwards at an angle, which can evenly spray the fragrance onto the surface of the conical guide orifice 4. The conical guide orifice 4 is designed so that after the particles pass through the fragrance coverage area sprayed from the wide-angle circular nozzle, they fall onto the conical surface of the conical guide orifice 4, come into contact with the fragrance sprayed from the fan-shaped nozzles, and then slide down the conical guide orifice 4 until they are discharged.

[0026] Furthermore, the fragrance nozzle 33 is provided with multiple flow channels 331, one of which is connected to a wide-angle circular nozzle, and the remaining flow channels 331 are connected to a fan-shaped nozzle. The flow channels 331 connected to the fan-shaped nozzle have the same orifice diameter, and are all smaller than the orifice diameter of the flow channels 331 connected to the wide-angle circular nozzle. This allows the wide-angle circular nozzle to spray a larger flow rate of fragrance with a wider coverage area, while the fragrance sprayed from the fan-shaped nozzle can be evenly sprayed towards the side wall of the conical guide port 4 inside the fragrance spray cylinder 2, thereby performing secondary fragrance replenishment spraying on the particles.

[0027] Typically, granulators produce a large number of granules, using only a wide-angle circular nozzle for fragrance spraying. This ensures that the fragrance only contacts the granules closest to the nozzle. After the granules fall onto the conical guide 4, the fragrance is sprayed onto the granules closest to the inner wall of the fragrance spray cylinder 2, resulting in more uniform fragrance spraying. In a preferred embodiment, the conical guide 4 can also be vibrated to further ensure uniform mixing of the fragrance and granules.

[0028] In practical use, the fragrance addition structure of this application first introduces high-pressure gas into the gas pump inlet 322, and then starts the pressure pump tank to introduce pressure-stabilized fragrance liquid into the liquid supply channel 321 of the liquid delivery rod 32. The fragrance liquid flows through the liquid supply channel 321 to the multi-channel distribution channel 331 of the fragrance nozzle 33, and is atomized and sprayed out through the fan-shaped nozzle and the wide-angle circular nozzle respectively. After the fragrance nozzle 33 can spray fragrance evenly and stably, the granulator is started, and the generated granules enter the fragrance spray cylinder 2 from the discharge cylinder 1. At this time, the wide-angle circular nozzle spreads the fragrance upward, forming a fully covered atomized area, which fully contacts the granules falling from the discharge cylinder 1. The fan-shaped nozzle sprays fragrance onto the side wall of the conical guide port 4, so that the surface of the granules sliding along the conical guide port 4 can also be evenly coated with fragrance. When the granulator stops working, the pressure pump tank starts the reverse suction function to draw back the residual fragrance liquid in the liquid supply channel 321 and the fragrance nozzle 33, so as to avoid the component blockage caused by the solidification or deterioration of the residual fragrance.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
