Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-end equipment manufacturing technology, specifically to an automated drying system for rotary bentonite. Background Technology

[0002] Bentonite is a non-metallic mineral with montmorillonite as its main mineral component. It has been applied in over 100 sectors across 24 fields of industrial and agricultural production abroad, resulting in over 300 products, hence its nickname "universal clay." A Chinese invention patent application (CN117308536B) discloses a rotary kiln for drying calcium-based bentonite sodiumation, including a bottom plate and a sealing mechanism. This rotary kiln, by opening and closing the middle and upper baffles at the feed inlet, prevents the feed inlet from remaining open for extended periods during the feeding process, reducing heat leakage during the bentonite sodiumation drying process, minimizing heat loss, and saving energy.

[0003] However, the inventors discovered that in actual use, a large amount of bentonite was dried in the rotary kiln, and some of it was not completely dried, resulting in poor drying effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by creating several material troughs on a turntable, with air blowing pipes installed inside the troughs and several air blowing holes at different angles on the air blowing pipes. Hot air is blown into the air blowing channel a by a blower, and the hot air enters the air blowing pipe through the air blowing channel a and is blown out at the air blowing holes to dry the bentonite. The material turning component turns the bentonite while it is being dried via guide rail b. This solves the problem that a large amount of bentonite is dried in the rotary kiln, and some bentonite is not completely dried, resulting in poor drying effect.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automated rotary bentonite drying system includes a support frame, a drive assembly, and a turntable driven by the drive assembly. The turntable has several material troughs, each containing an air blowing pipe with several air blowing holes at different angles. The turntable also has several air blowing channels (a) connected to the air blowing pipes. A material turning assembly and a material unloading component are slidably arranged within the material troughs. The lower end of the turntable has guide rails (a) and (b), and the upper end of the turntable has a cover plate with a feeding pipe at its upper end. A blower is connected to the lower end of each air blowing channel (a). The turntable is driven to rotate by the drive assembly. Material is fed into the material troughs through the feeding pipes. Hot air is blown into the air blowing channels (a) by the blower. The hot air enters the air blowing pipes through the air blowing channels (a) and is blown out at the air blowing holes to dry the bentonite. The material turning assembly simultaneously turns the bentonite while it is being dried via the guide rails (b).

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the air blowing pipe has an air blowing channel a, and the air blowing hole has an increasing inclination angle from bottom to top.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the turntable sidewall has several discharge ports, the lower end of the material trough is inclined toward the turntable sidewall, the side of the material trough near the turntable sidewall has a discharge trough, the lower end of the material trough has a sliding groove, and the lower end of the turntable is provided with a pulley.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the material turning assembly includes a support plate slidably disposed on the guide rail b, a lifting rod disposed on the support plate and slidably disposed in a sliding groove, and an inverted conical material turning component disposed on the lifting rod, wherein a spring is provided between the support plate and the turntable.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the feeder is inclined in the arc direction, and the upper end of the feeder is slidably disposed in the feed trough.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the guide rail a is provided with a support section and a feeding section.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the guide rail b is provided with a plurality of ascending sections and a plurality of descending sections, the ascending sections and descending sections being arranged alternately.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the cover plate is provided with a ventilation groove corresponding to the material trough, the upper end of the cover plate is provided with an air outlet pipe, an air outlet channel is provided between the air outlet pipe and the ventilation groove, and a material inlet is provided on the cover plate.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the drive assembly includes a drive member, a pulley disposed on the drive member, and a belt disposed between the pulleys.

[0015] As another preferred embodiment, a rotating sleeve is provided between the blower and the turntable, and the rotating sleeve is fixedly installed at the lower end of the support frame.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0017] 1. In this invention, several material troughs are opened on the turntable, and air blowing pipes are set in the material troughs. Several air blowing holes with different inclination angles are opened on the air blowing pipes. Hot air is blown into the air blowing channel a by a blower. The hot air enters the air blowing pipe through the air blowing channel a and is blown out at the air blowing holes to dry the bentonite. The material turning component turns the bentonite while drying it through the guide rail b, so as to realize automated drying.

[0018] 2. In this invention, by opening several air blowing holes with different inclination angles on the air blowing pipe, the inclination angle of the air blowing holes gradually increases from bottom to top, so that the hot air can always dry the bentonite at the lower end of the material tank, resulting in a good drying effect on the bentonite.

[0019] In summary, this equipment has advantages such as good drying effect and automated drying, and is especially suitable for the field of high-end equipment manufacturing technology. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an automated rotary bentonite drying system includes a support frame 1, a drive assembly 2, and a turntable 3 driven by the drive assembly 2. The turntable 3 has several material troughs 31, each containing an air blowing pipe 4 with several air blowing holes 41 at different angles. The turntable 3 has several air blowing channels a32 connected to the air blowing pipes 4. A material turning assembly 5 and a material unloading component 6 are slidably arranged within the material troughs 31. A guide rail a is provided at the lower end of the turntable 3. 7 and guide rail b8, the upper end of the turntable 3 is provided with a cover plate 9, the upper end of the cover plate 9 is provided with a feeding pipe 10, the lower end of the air blowing channel a32 is connected to a blower 20, the turntable 3 is driven to rotate by the drive assembly 2, the material trough 31 completes the feeding through the feeding pipe 10, the blower 20 blows hot air into the air blowing channel a32, the hot air enters the air blowing pipe 4 through the air blowing channel a32 and is blown out at the air blowing hole 41 to dry the bentonite, the turning assembly 5 turns the bentonite while drying it through the guide rail b8.

[0032] It is worth mentioning that by opening several material troughs 31 on the turntable 3, and installing air blowing pipes 4 in the material troughs 31, and opening several air blowing holes 41 with different inclination angles on the air blowing pipes 4, hot air is blown into the air blowing channel a32 by the blower 20. The hot air enters the air blowing pipe 4 through the air blowing channel a32 and is blown out at the air blowing holes 41 to dry the bentonite. The material turning component 5 turns the bentonite while drying it through the guide rail b8, realizing automated drying.

[0033] like Figure 3 , 7 As shown, an air blowing channel a32 is provided inside the air blowing pipe 4, and the air blowing hole 41 gradually increases in inclination angle from bottom to top.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that by opening several air blowing holes 41 with different inclination angles on the air blowing pipe 4, the inclination angle of the air blowing holes 41 gradually increases from bottom to top, so that the hot air can always dry the bentonite at the lower end of the material tank 31, resulting in a good drying effect on the bentonite.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the turntable 3 has several discharge ports 33 on its side wall. The lower end of the material trough 31 is inclined towards the side wall of the turntable 3. The material trough 31 has a discharge trough 34 on the side of the material trough 31 near the side wall of the turntable 3. The lower end of the material trough 31 has a sliding groove 35. The lower end of the turntable 3 is provided with a pulley b36.

[0036] In this example, by setting the discharge port 33, the bentonite in the material trough 31 is discharged from the discharge port 33. By setting the discharge trough 34, the bentonite falls into the discharge trough 34 and slides out of the discharge port 33 under the action of the inclined surface of the discharge component 6.

[0037] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the material turning assembly 5 includes a support plate 51 slidably mounted on the guide rail b8, a lifting rod 52 mounted on the support plate 51 and slidably mounted in the sliding groove 35, and an inverted conical material turning component 53 mounted on the lifting rod 52. A spring 54 is provided between the support plate 51 and the turntable 3.

[0038] In this example, spring 54 is set so that after the support plate 51 rises, it can descend with the guide rail b8 when it passes through the descending section 82.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the feeder 6 is inclined in the arc direction, and the upper end of the feeder 6 is slidably disposed in the feeder groove 34.

[0040] In this example, by making the upper end of the feeder 6 into an inclined surface and tilting it in the direction of the arc, the bentonite slides out of the discharge port 33 through the inclined surface after the feeder 6 descends, thus completing the feeding.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the guide rail a7 is provided with a support section 71 and a feeding section 72.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the guide rail b8 is provided with a number of rising sections 81 and a number of falling sections 82, and the rising sections 81 and falling sections 82 are arranged alternately.

[0043] like Figure 6As shown, the lower end of the cover plate 9 is provided with a ventilation groove 91 corresponding to the material trough 31, the upper end of the cover plate 9 is provided with an air outlet pipe 92, an air outlet channel 93 is provided between the air outlet pipe 92 and the ventilation groove 91, and a material inlet 94 is provided on the cover plate 9.

[0044] In this example, by setting up a ventilation groove 91 and an air outlet channel 93, the hot air in the material trough 31 is discharged through the ventilation groove 91 and the air outlet channel 93.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly 2 includes a drive member 21, a pulley a22 disposed on the drive member 21, and a belt 23 disposed between the pulley a22 and the pulley b36.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, a rotating sleeve 30 is provided between the blower 20 and the turntable 3, and the rotating sleeve 30 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the support frame 1.

[0047] The work process is as follows:

[0048] Start the drive unit 21, which drives the belt 23 to rotate through the pulley a22, thereby driving the turntable 3 to rotate. When the material trough 31 rotates to the feeding pipe 10, the feeding pipe 10 feeds the material trough 31 quantitatively through the feeding port 94.

[0049] Start the blower 20 and blow hot air into the air blowing channel a32 through the rotating sleeve 30. The hot air enters the air blowing pipe 4 through the air blowing channel a32 and dries the bentonite well under the action of the air blowing hole 41. The support plate 51 is driven up and down by the guide rail b8, and the lifting rod 52 drives the turning part 53 to turn the bentonite, so that the bentonite is dried and turned at the same time.

[0050] When passing through the feeding section 72, the feeding component 6 moves downward, causing the bentonite to fall into the feeding trough 34, and slide out of the discharge port 33 under the action of the inclined surface of the feeding component 6, falling into the material frame for collection.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art under the technical guidance of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
