Although traditional tube bundle dryers have advantages such as compact structure and low energy consumption, their technical limitations are gradually becoming apparent in complex material processing and energy efficiency optimization. The specific problems are as follows: The existing tube bundle dryer has a fixed arrangement and spacing of tube cores, and cannot dynamically adjust drying parameters according to material characteristics (such as particle size, humidity, and thermal sensitivity). High-humidity materials require a larger heat exchange area to improve evaporation efficiency, while heat-sensitive materials require a lower tube bundle density to avoid local overheating and burning.

[0039] The transmission assembly 3 includes a driving gear 31, a driven gear 32 and a movable base 33. The driving gear 31 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the tube shell 2. A driven gear 32 is provided at a corresponding position on each tube core 1. The driven gear 32 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the tube core 1. The driving gear 31 is fixedly mounted on the movable base 33. The movable base 33 realizes passive movement through a slider and a slide rail. When the displacement generator of the dynamic spacing adjustment assembly 7 works, it drives the driving gear 31 on the movable base 33 to move passively.
[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, by setting a dynamic spacing adjustment component 7 between the steam generating component 4 and the condensate discharge component 5 pipeline, and using a fixed part 71 and a movable part 72 to cooperate with a hose 8 to connect, the tube core 1 can achieve dynamic and precise spacing adjustment while maintaining the continuity of steam supply and condensate discharge, which greatly improves the equipment's adaptability to changes in viscosity and particle size of different materials. At the same time, the driving gear 31 in the transmission component 3 is installed on a movable base 33, and cooperates with the driven gear 32 on the tube core 1, so that when the position of the tube core changes, it can still maintain efficient and stable power transmission, avoiding the failure problem of the traditional structure caused by position adjustment, and ensuring the continuity, reliability and system response speed during the drying process.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present invention, by adding a support driven wheel 1 34, a support driven wheel 2 35 and a support movable base 36 in the transmission assembly 3, the tube core 1 can obtain stable support at both ends during the rotation process, effectively reducing the axial displacement and vibration problems caused by dynamic spacing adjustment.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, by providing at least one exhaust port 23 in each layer of the tube shell 2 and connecting it to the exhaust assembly 6, micro-negative pressure control of the internal pressure of the tube shell is achieved, effectively preventing steam leakage and dust escape, and improving the environmental cleanliness and safety of the drying process. Each layer of the tube shell 2 is designed with two feed ports 21, which are respectively connected to the material conveying device and the adjacent tube shell outlet 22 to form a flexible material flow path. At the same time, a detachable sealing cover is provided at the outlet 22 to facilitate maintenance, overhaul and emergency operation, further improving the operating stability, maintenance convenience and overall process adaptability of the equipment.
[0048] In a possible embodiment, the steam dryer also includes a material emergency storage device, and any tube shell 2 is provided with two discharge ports 22, wherein the position of one discharge port 22 corresponds to the position of the feed port 21 of the adjacent tube shell 2 and is fixedly connected, and the second discharge port 22 is fixedly connected to the feed port 21 of the material emergency storage device. Under normal circumstances, the first discharge port 22 is normally open, and the second discharge port 22 is normally closed.

The emergency storage device is interconnected with each layer of tube shells and has efficient material receiving and re-transporting capabilities, which greatly improves the equipment's emergency response capability, production continuity and system stability, and reduces the impact of failure shutdown on production progress.
[0051] In a possible implementation, the copy board 12 is coated with a super-hydrophobic coating, and a plurality of protrusions 121 are provided on the surface of the copy board 12. An elastic member 122 is fixedly installed on the edge of the copy board 12. One end of the elastic member 122 is connected and fixed to the copy board 12. A vibration generator 123 is fixedly installed on the other end of the elastic member 122. The vibration generator 123 transmits the generated vibration to the copy board 12 through the elastic member 122.
[0052] In the embodiment of the present invention, the design of the protrusion 121 increases the contact area between the material and the lifting plate 12, and the presence of the protrusion 121 makes it less likely for the material to accumulate scale and adhere, thereby increasing the service life. Combined with the super-hydrophobic coating, the propulsion is smoother and the drying is more uniform.
[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, the vibration generator 123 is specifically a small hard metal ball. When the distance between adjacent tube cores 1 decreases, the vibration generators 123 of adjacent tube cores 1 will collide. The vibration generated by the collision reaches the copy board 12 along the elastic member 122, thereby preventing the problem of increased viscous resistance caused by too small a distance.
[0054] In a possible implementation, each tube shell 2 is installed with a tilting assembly, which controls the inclination angle between the tube shell 2 and the ground, and the feed ports 21 and the discharge ports 22 of adjacent tube shells 2 are connected by a hose 8 .
[0055] In a possible implementation manner, the hose 8 is a high-strength plastic pipeline with a sealing function, and a supporting skeleton is provided in the hose 8 .
[0056] In a possible implementation, the hose 8 is a metal corrugated hose 8. The steam inlet and the condensate outlet both use metal corrugated pipes with a support frame, and the pre-tightening amount is 15 mm to avoid additional stress.
[0057] In a possible implementation, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are fixedly mounted on the inner side of the tube shell 2 , and a stress sensor is provided on the tube core 1 to monitor the temperature and humidity in the tube shell 2 and the stress of the tube core 1 in real time.
[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, a PT100 temperature sensor (range -50~300℃) and a capacitive humidity sensor (accuracy ±2%RH) are installed on the inner wall of the tube shell 2. A strain gauge stress sensor (range 0-500N·m) is mounted on the surface of the tube core 1, and the data acquisition cycle is 100ms.
[0059] Working process: Take the treatment of chemical raw materials with a moisture content of 35% as an example: Start-up phase: Steam pressure gradient loading: 0→0.05→0.1→0.2→0.3MPa (5min interval).
[0060] Temperature climbing curve: 25℃→85℃→132℃→165℃→220℃ (slope 3.2℃ / min).
[0061] Synchronous adjustment of tube spacing: initial spacing 40mm → 32mm in stable stage (viscosity 420cP).
[0062] Operation phase: Capacitive humidity sensor (±2%RH accuracy) real-time monitoring, when the outlet gas humidity>18%, the exhaust negative pressure automatically increases from -50Pa to -80Pa. When the strain gauge (range 0-500N·m) on the surface of tube core 1 detects torque fluctuation>15%, the spacing is adjusted to start the vibration generator 123, and the collision of the metal hard ball effectively reduces the scaling rate of the tube wall.
[0063] Fault detection: When it is detected that the pressure difference of tube shell 2 is greater than 15kPa, the emergency system closes the fault section valve within 0.3s, the discharge of the upper tube shell 2 is switched to the material emergency storage device, and the vibration generator 123 is started synchronously to clear the blocked material.
