[0035] The use principle of the present application is as follows:

[0036] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 , in use, hot gas is discharged from the air preheater (not marked) and enters the air inlet pipe 20 through the hot gas pipe 202, at the same time, in combination with the temperature requirement, normal temperature gas is also drawn from the air pipe 201 to adjust the gas temperature in the air inlet pipe 20, in order to improve the cooling efficiency of the mixed gas, a mixing cover 22 is arranged at the air inlet convergence position of the air pipe 201 and the hot gas pipe 202, as shown in Figure 3 , the use principle is that the hot air and normal temperature air entering from both ends first mix a little, and more is the rebound between the gases, and each rebounds to the position of the corresponding air inlet end, under the action of the gas pressure of the corresponding end, continues to flow along the pipe wall of the corresponding end of the air inlet pipe 20 and the outer side wall of the mixing cover 22, when the hot gas and normal temperature air flow to the opening position of the mixing cover 22, the gases at both ends will flow back to the structure of the mixing cover 22 with a “U” shaped cross section, and fully mixed to achieve the purpose of rapid cooling, in order to accurately understand the temperature of the mixed gas, a temperature instrument 203 is arranged on the air inlet pipe 20 corresponding to the position of the mixing cover 22; the fully mixed gas continues to flow into the cavity 1 through the air inlet pipe 20 under the action of the gas pressure, and the heat transfer of the air is used to transfer the temperature to the inner cavity 10 through the heat transfer sheet 101, so as to achieve the purpose of heating the peat in the inner cavity 10, and the water vapor in the peat is volatilized by heating, so as to achieve the purpose of drying the coal.

[0037] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, when the peat into the coal bunker after a large amount, due to the lower structure of the coal bunker contains non-vertical surface and peat containing moisture, easy to exist in the non-vertical surface accumulation phenomenon, at this time, start the power motor 103, synchronous belt drive shaft 13 and the base 3 set with the rotation, that is, the scraper 31 with the base 3 rotation is also synchronous rotation, because the scraper 31 in the direction of rotation is provided with blade bevel 341, facilitate fast coal, at the same time, the setting of the displacement bevel 342 also reduces the contact area of the scraper 31 and the coal bunker inner wall, reduces the resistance of the coal, and, also with the transition bevel 311 outside wall of the plane flush, the scraper 31 in the coal material moves, reduces the stress of the front.

[0038] Among them, it should be noted that, between the transmission shaft 13 and the scraper 31 is also connected with three connecting rods 32, the distance between the two connecting ends of each connecting rod 32 is equidistantly reduced along the axial direction of the inclined scraper 31, and each connecting rod 32 is curved and the distance between the two connecting ends is the diameter of the curvature. The three connecting rods 32 with equal intervals are arranged from top to bottom to form a tapered structure with a wide upper part and a narrow lower part. During synchronous rotation with the transmission shaft 13, each connecting rod 32 moves in the coal material, generates a gap after moving, and is beneficial to change the state of accumulated coal, similar to the effect of loosening the soil, to achieve the purpose of loosening the accumulated coal. The first baffle 33, the second baffle 34, and the outer side wall of the scraper 31 form a continuous "L" shaped groove, which is beneficial to orderly guide the loosened coal material and make the internal accumulation of coal more orderly, facilitating the delivery of coal.

[0039] At the same time, the rotation of the transmission shaft 13 also synchronously drives the rotation of the three auger blades 12, and the rotation direction of the auger blades 12 is towards the discharge port at the lower end of the coal bunker. The blade width of the auger blade 12 is a structure with a wide upper part and a narrow lower part, which facilitates coal delivery while reducing resistance in the coal delivery direction. At the same time, the support 102 also adopts a cross-shaped structure to maximize the discharge capacity of the discharge port of the coal bunker.

[0040] Finally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in order to facilitate maintenance, a maintenance hole is provided on the inner wall of the cavity 10 corresponding to the upper position of the scraper 31. A maintenance channel 104 is provided in the spiral cavity 1 between the outer shell 11 and the inner cavity 10, which is in communication with the maintenance hole. The maintenance channel 104 is provided with an opening on the outer shell 11, and a sealing door 105 is provided at the opening position. Figure 1As shown, in use, the sealing door 105 is opened, the worker comes to the access hole position from the access channel 104, and climbs down along the three connecting rods 32 to the inner cavity 10, facilitating the worker to temporarily overhaul the related components such as the scraper 31 or the auger blade 12; meanwhile, the access channel 104 is arranged at a position between two adjacent cavity sections, so as to ensure the smooth flow of hot air in the spiral cavity 1.
