[0014] Preferably, the ceramic heat-insulating inner cylinder is sheathed with a ceramic heat-insulating outer cylinder.

[0015] Preferably, a working method of a baking device for producing automotive interior injection molded parts comprises the following steps: Step 1: The hot air blower heats the external gas, and the injection molding raw materials are fed into the feed hopper. The injection molding raw materials are pushed forward in the feed pipe by the hot gas, and the hot gas and the raw materials are fed into the ceramic insulation inner cylinder together; Step 2: Turn on the drive motor to drive the stirring shaft and the stirring blade to rotate. During the rotation process, the shoveling slope of the stirring blade turns over the injection molding materials in the barrel, and some of the injection molding materials are turned over briefly, and other parts of the materials slide down through the sliding slope. The internal stirring process is mixed with the hot air sent in, which dries the raw materials.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In the present invention, the raw materials are sent into the barrel together with hot air through a hot air blower, which not only can transport the raw materials, but also can dry the raw materials during the transportation process. After being sent into the barrel, the raw materials are stirred, crushed and turned over by a stirring component, and the hot air and particles in the barrel are pulled upward by an induced draft fan, and the pulled particles are filtered and screened by a filtering component. The screened particles enter the diversion box with the hot air for diversion, and the gas passes through the material blocking net, while the particles stay in front of the material blocking net. After the induced draft fan has been pulled for a period of time, the induced draft fan is turned off, so that the particles in front of the material blocking net fall into the falling channel due to lack of traction, thereby finally realizing the diversion operation of hot air and particles, and the hot air enters the hot air recovery pipe into the hot air blower for secondary utilization, thereby reducing cost expenditure.

[0017] The stirring shaft and the stirring blades are driven to rotate by a driving motor. During the stirring process, on the one hand, the agglomerated raw materials can be broken up, and on the other hand, the raw materials can be turned over to prevent them from piling up, thereby making the raw materials heated more evenly. The stirring blades adopt an upper and lower multi-layer and annular distribution structure, which can effectively expand the stirring range and improve the turning effect. At the same time, the shoveling slope arranged at the stirring blades has a large inclination angle inclined to the upper end, which can shovel the raw material particles so that the raw material particles rise to the top along the shoveling slope and are finally turned over. The turned over raw materials are more easily in contact with the internal hot air, thereby improving the baking effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

After being sent into the barrel, the stirring component 2 is used for stirring, crushing and turning, and the hot air and particles in the barrel are pulled upward by the induced draft fan 6, and the pulled particles are filtered and screened by the filtering component 8. The screened particles enter the diversion box 4 with the hot air for diversion, and the gas passes through the material blocking net 404, while the particles stay in front of the material blocking net 404. After the induced draft fan 6 has been pulled for a period of time, the induced draft fan 6 is turned off, so that the particles in front of the material blocking net 404 fall into the dropping channel 401 due to the lack of traction, and finally the diversion operation of hot air and particles is realized, and the hot air enters the hot air recovery pipe 602 into the hot air blower 7 for secondary utilization.

[0021] The stirring assembly 2 includes a driving motor 201 installed at the bottom of the ceramic heat-insulating inner cylinder 102, and the output end of the driving motor 201 is provided with a stirring shaft 202 extending into the cylinder, and a plurality of stirring blades 203 are arranged on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 202 in an annular distribution, and the stirring blades 203 are installed with multiple layers up and down, and a shoveling inclined surface 2031 is provided on one side of the stirring blade 203, and a downward sliding inclined surface 2032 is provided on the other side of the stirring blade 203; The stirring shaft 202 and the stirring blade 203 are driven to rotate by the driving motor 201. During the stirring process, on the one hand, the lumped raw materials can be broken up, and on the other hand, the raw materials can be turned over to prevent the raw materials from piling up, thereby making the raw materials more evenly heated. The stirring blade 203 adopts an upper and lower multi-layer and annular distribution structure, which can effectively expand the stirring range and improve the turning effect. At the same time, the shoveling slope 2031 arranged at the stirring blade 203 is a large inclination angle inclined to the upper end, which can shovel the raw material particles so that the raw material particles rise to the top along the shoveling slope 2031 and are finally turned over.

After the induced draft fan 6 stops, the large-volume particles will fall from the screen 802 into the cylinder, and will be stirred and crushed again by the stirring component 2. The setting of the traction wind hood 301 can concentrate the wind force and improve the wind traction effect. The setting of the first control valve 303 can control the pipeline connection state between the traction wind hood 301 and the air separation conveying pipe 302; See also Figure 6 , brackets 403 are installed at both upper and lower ends of one side of the blanking channel 401, a diversion port 402 is opened in the middle of the bracket 403, a material blocking net 404 is installed inside the diversion port 402, a hook 405 extending to the outside of the box is installed at the upper end of the material blocking net 404, a block 407 matching the slot of the bracket 403 is provided at the lower end of the material blocking net 404, and a guiding inclined surface 406 inclined toward the blanking channel 401 is provided on the outer wall of the lower bracket 403; The gas and particles entering the diversion box 4 are drawn to the material blocking net 404, and the gas passes through the material blocking net 404, while the particles stay in front of the material blocking net 404. After the induced draft fan 6 has been pulling for a period of time, the induced draft fan 6 is turned off, so that the particles in front of the material blocking net 404 fall into the material dropping channel 401 due to the lack of traction, thereby achieving the diversion effect. The setting of the guide slope 406 can guide the particles therein along the slope to the material dropping channel 401, so that it is not easy for particles to accumulate therein, which is convenient for collecting the dropped materials.
