Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dryer technology, specifically to an anti-sticking vacuum rake dryer. Background Technology

[0002] A vacuum rake dryer is a commonly used drying device, primarily used for drying moist materials. Its working principle involves placing the material in the drying chamber, then continuously supplying a heat source to gradually increase the pressure and temperature within the chamber, thereby evaporating the moisture from the material. Simultaneously, rakes inside the equipment continuously agitate and stir the material to ensure even heating and drying. Once all the moisture has evaporated, the equipment automatically stops heating and then uses a vacuum pump to reduce the pressure within the drying chamber to a certain negative pressure range, further promoting drying and protecting the dried material from secondary moisture absorption.

[0003] During the operation of a vacuum rake dryer, heat is conducted to the material through the inner wall of the drying chamber. However, the heat conduction surface is limited to the surface between the material and the inner wall. Uneven heating and slow rake rotation speeds prevent rapid material turning, leading to uneven heating in certain areas. On one hand, when some areas are too hot, surface moisture evaporates quickly to form a dry layer, but internal moisture cannot evaporate in time, resulting in excessively high internal temperatures and the formation of sticky substances, causing the material to stick to the wall. On the other hand, when some areas are too cold, moisture cannot evaporate quickly, resulting in insufficient surface moisture to form a dry layer, preventing internal moisture from escaping and causing sticking. Increasing the rake rotation speed not only affects the heating effect but also causes significant frictional damage to the anti-stick coating on the inner wall. Excessive rake rotation speed can create vortices on the material surface, preventing thorough drying and causing sticking. Conversely, excessively slow rake rotation speeds cause the material to remain in the drying chamber for too long, also leading to sticking. These methods have certain drawbacks.

[0004] In view of this, we have studied and improved the existing problems to provide a non-stick wall vacuum rake dryer to solve the current problems. The aim of this technology is to solve the problems and improve its practical value. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention, providing a non-stick wall vacuum rake dryer.

[0034] Combination Figure 1-7As shown, the present invention provides an anti-sticking vacuum rake dryer, comprising: a base frame 100, a drum drying chamber 200, a feeding assembly 300, and a moving rake assembly 400 rotatably installed inside the drum drying chamber 200. A rolling drive platform 110 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the base frame 100. The drum drying chamber 200 includes a rolling sleeve 210, an inner jacket 220, and a liquid heat jacket 230 that are sequentially sleeved together.

[0035] The feeding assembly 300 includes a rotating support frame 310 fixedly installed on one side of the rolling drive table 110 and a rotating ring seat 320 rotatably sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating support frame 310. A plurality of feeding hoppers 330 are fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating ring seat 320.

A conveying roller 350 is fixedly installed inside the conveying hopper 340, and a motor for driving the conveying roller 350 to rotate is provided at one end of the conveying hopper 340.

[0036] The motion rake assembly 400 includes a main shaft 410, several radial support assemblies 420 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the main shaft 410, and swirling scrapers 430 and turning strips 440 fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the radial support assemblies 420. The swirling scrapers 430 are arranged in a spiral shape and have several vortex lines 432 embedded inside.

[0037] In this embodiment, the surfaces of the rolling sleeve 210, the inner jacket 220, and the liquid heat jacket 230 are provided with through-feed ports, the rolling sleeve 210, the inner jacket 220, and the liquid heat jacket 230 are provided with discharge ports, and the surface of the rolling drive table 110 is provided with through-hole slots arranged opposite to the discharge ports. The feed port and the bottom material outlet of the conveying hopper 340 are located on the same vertical line, and valves are provided on the surfaces of both the feed port and the discharge port.

[0038] Specifically, material is discharged and filled through the discharge port and feed port on the surface of the drum drying chamber 200.

[0039] In this embodiment, the liquid heat jacket 230 is provided with a plurality of heat-conducting coils inside, and the heat-conducting coils are filled with a heating medium. The liquid heat jacket 230 is provided with a heating wire for heating inside, and a vacuum pump for reducing the internal air pressure of the liquid heat jacket 230 is provided inside.

[0040] Specifically, the overall temperature of the liquid heat jacket 230 is increased by the internal heating structure to heat the material, and the pressure and temperature inside the liquid heat jacket 230 are gradually increased, thereby evaporating the moisture in the material.

[0041] In this embodiment, the surface of the rotating ring seat 320 is provided with a plurality of radially arranged strips, and a drive motor is fixedly installed on the inner side of the rotating support frame 310. The output end of the drive motor is provided with a clutch, and the output end of the clutch is respectively provided with two transmission shafts fixedly connected to the ends of the strips and the moving rake assembly 400.

[0042] Specifically, the rotating support frame 310 uses a surface drive motor to drive the rotation of the rotating ring seat 320 and the moving rake assembly 400, and switches between the rotating ring seat 320 and the moving rake assembly 400 under the control of the clutch to drive either the rotating ring seat 320 or the moving rake assembly 400 to rotate or to make the rotating ring seat 320 and the moving rake assembly 400 rotate synchronously.

[0043] In this embodiment, the radial support assembly 420 includes a fixed sleeve 421 sleeved on the surface of the main shaft 410 and a plurality of elastic support bars 422 fixedly installed on the outside of the fixed sleeve 421. The elastic support bars 422 are elastic metal strip structures.

[0044] Furthermore, the swirl scraper 430 has a scraping blade 431 on one side, and the inner side of the liquid heat jacket 230 has an anti-stick coating, which is either a ceramic coating or a PTFE coating.

[0045] Specifically, a scratch-resistant and wear-resistant ceramic coating or PTFE coating is used as the internal anti-stick structure of the liquid heat jacket 230, and the protective effect of the coating is further improved by the elastic radial support component 420.

[0046] In this embodiment, a plurality of permanent magnet blocks 221 are arranged in a matrix on the surface of the inner jacket 220, and the magnetic poles of the plurality of permanent magnet blocks 221 are arranged in the same direction along the radial direction of the liquid heat jacket 230.

[0047] Furthermore, the number of swirl scrapers 430 is several and they are evenly arranged in a circumferential direction around the outer periphery of the radial support assembly 420. The vortex lines 432 inside the two swirl scrapers 430 arranged opposite to the center of the main shaft 410 are connected to each other to form a closed loop structure. The vortex lines 432 are conductive copper wire structures.

[0048] Specifically, under the synchronous counter-rotation of the drum drying chamber 200 and the moving rake group 400, the eddy current line 432 repeatedly cuts the magnetic field lines, generating current inside. The short-circuit loop of the eddy current line 432 causes the current to be consumed by the resistance of the eddy current line 432 itself, generating a large amount of heat. The heat of the swirling scraper 430 further heats the material, and the moving swirling scraper 430 effectively heats the internal part of the material and makes the heating more uniform.

[0049] Working principle and usage process of this invention:

[0050] When using this vacuum rake dryer, the internal drive assembly of the roller drive table 110 drives the drum drying chamber 200 to rotate on the surface of the roller drive table 110, so that the feed port on the surface of the drum drying chamber 200 is connected to the bottom surface of the conveyor hopper 340. The liquid heat jacket 230 is started for preheating and feeding. The drive motor on the surface of the rotating support frame 310 drives the rotating ring seat 320 and the moving rake group 400 to rotate synchronously. The rotating ring seat 320 rotates on the surface of the rotating support frame 310, the feeding hopper 330 picks up the material and rotates along the outer circumference of the rotating support frame 310 to the top of the conveyor hopper 340 to transfer the material into the conveyor hopper 340. The rotation of the conveyor roller 350 outputs the material into the drum drying chamber 200, realizing automatic feeding operation.

[0051] After the material is fed, the surface door of the drum drying chamber 200 is closed. The clutch assembly causes the surface drive motor of the rotating support frame 310 to drive the moving rake group 400 to continue rotating while the rotating ring seat 320 stops rotating. The internal drive assembly of the rolling drive table 110 drives the drum drying chamber 200 to rotate at a constant speed on the surface of the rolling drive table 110. Inside the liquid heat jacket 230, the material is agitated by the rolling and turning of the drum drying chamber 200 and the rotation of the moving rake group 400. By continuously supplying heat source, the pressure and temperature inside the liquid heat jacket 230 are gradually increased, thereby evaporating the moisture in the material. Meanwhile, the material is continuously turned over and stirred in the drum drying chamber 200 and the moving rake assembly 400 to ensure that the material is heated and dried evenly. The pressure in the drying chamber is reduced to a certain negative pressure range by a vacuum pump to promote the drying of the material. As the inner jacket 220 moves relative to the swirling scraper 430, the swirling scraper 430 moves by cutting magnetic field lines, which generates eddies inside the swirling scraper 430. The electrothermal effect increases the temperature of the swirling scraper 430, which conducts heat to the inside of the material during contact, improving the uniformity of material heating, improving the drying effect, and avoiding the phenomenon of sticking to the wall caused by uneven heating of the material. The radial support assembly 420 provides elastic contact between the swirling scraper 430 and the turning strip 440 and the inner wall of the liquid heat jacket 230, reducing the friction between the moving rake assembly 400 and the inner wall of the liquid heat jacket 230, and providing a certain degree of protection for the anti-stick coating.

[0052] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
