DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the present application may repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples, and such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a dryness detection device for a belt dryer, comprising a detection platform 1, a feeding mechanism 4, a collecting mechanism 5 and a detection mechanism 6. A control terminal 11 with a PLC controller is installed on one side wall of the detection platform 1 by screws. The dryer 2 is installed on the detection platform 1 (the test object in this embodiment is a belt dryer). The two ends of the conveyor belt of the dryer 2 are located outside it. Rollers are passed through both ends of the conveyor belt. Two oppositely arranged shaft seats 13 are installed on both sides of the top surface of the detection platform 1 by bolts. The rollers are rotated. Between the two shaft seats 13 on the same side, and a driving motor (the driving motor is a rotating motor) is connected to one end of the roller shaft to drive it, and the driving motor is installed on the side wall of the shaft seat 13. The feeding mechanism 4 is arranged above one end of the conveyor belt, and the collecting mechanism 5 is arranged below the other end of the conveyor belt 12. The detection mechanism 6 is arranged above the collecting mechanism 5. A discharge trough 14 is opened at one end of the detection platform 1, and a conveyor belt 12 is installed in the discharge trough 14. The motor that drives the conveyor belt 12 is installed inside the side wall of the detection platform 1 (not shown in the figure).

[0044] The feeding mechanism 4 intermittently feeds the material onto the conveyor belt. After being dried in the dryer 2, the material falls from the other end of the conveyor belt to the collecting mechanism 5. The weight difference of the material before and after drying controls whether the outlet of the collecting mechanism 5 can be opened. The degree of opening of the collecting outlet is reflected by the detection mechanism 6 to determine the degree of drying.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a fixing frame 41, a slide 42, a guide plate 43 and a storage barrel 44;

[0046] The fixing frame 41 is arranged in a "U"-shaped structure. The bottom end of the fixing frame 41 is fixed to the top surface of the detection platform 1 by bolts. A guide shaft 414 is fixedly installed between the two opposite side walls of the fixing frame 41, and a rotating shaft 431 is arranged below the guide shaft 414. The rotating shaft 431 is rotatably arranged between the two side walls of the fixing frame 41. A fixing hole 411 is opened on the fixing frame 41 above the guide shaft 414. The fixing hole 411 is arranged along the length direction of the fixing frame 41. A screw 413 is rotatably arranged in the fixing hole 411. One end of the screw 413 is connected to a motor 412. The motor 412 is a rotating motor, and the motor 412 is mounted on one side outer wall of the fixing frame 41 by bolts.

[0047] The longitudinal section of the slide 42 is in the shape of an I, and the slide 42 slides between the inner walls of the fixing hole 411. An inner sleeve connected to the slide 42 is fixedly installed in the middle of the slide 42, and the screw 413 passes through the inner sleeve and is arranged with the inner sleeve through threaded transmission.

[0048] The second guide plate 43 is set at an angle, and the first rotating shaft 431 passes through the second guide plate 43 and is connected and fixed thereto. The bottom end of the second guide plate 43 is set in contact with the upper surface of the conveyor belt, and the second guide plate 43 is fixed between the two limit arms 3 on the inlet side of the dryer 2 by bolts.

[0049] A fixing block (not shown in the figure) is installed on the side wall of the storage barrel 44 facing the fixed frame 41 by screws, and the guide shaft 414 passes through the fixed block and slides in contact with it. Bumps 442 are installed on the other two side outer walls of the storage barrel 44 by screws, and detachable limit stop arms 3 are installed on the two side walls at the inlet and outlet positions of the dryer 2 by screws, wherein the limit stop arm 3 on the side close to the position of the fixed frame 41 is also provided with a vertical bar connected to the limit stop arm 3, and a contact sensor 31 is embedded on the side wall of the vertical bar facing the storage barrel 44, and the contact sensor 31 is connected to the PLC controller through an electrical signal, wherein the bump 442 is arranged opposite to the contact sensor 31, and when the bump 442 on one side contacts the contact sensor 31, the contact sensor 31 on that side is triggered, thereby changing the output direction of the motor 412 through the PLC controller, so that the slide 42 can move back and forth in the fixing hole 411.

[0050] A connecting plate is installed between the inner wall of one side of the storage barrel 44 and one side wall of the slide 42 by screws. A discharge hole is opened at the bottom of the storage barrel 44, and baffles 441 are provided on both sides of the discharge hole. Two electric push rods are installed on the outer walls of both sides of the storage barrel 44 by screws. The output end of the electric push rod is connected and fixed to one end wall of the baffle 441. The adjustment position of the baffles 441 on both sides is controlled by the PLC controller according to the different materials, thereby controlling the actual size of the discharge hole, thereby controlling the discharge amount of different materials.

[0051] It should be further explained that by placing the material in the storage barrel 44, the PLC controller adjusts the outlet volume of the discharge hole according to the different materials, and drives the storage barrel 44 to transfer the material back and forth above the loading position of the conveyor belt in a straight line direction through the cooperation of the screw 413 and the slide 42. After the storage barrel 44 moves back and forth once, the PLC controller pauses the motor 412 and also closes the baffles 441 on both sides. When the baffles 441 on both sides are closed, they and the side walls on both sides of the storage barrel 44 completely close the discharge hole.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the material collecting mechanism 5 includes a collecting box 51, a bottom cover 52, a second slide 53, a linkage handle 1 54 and a rotating arm 55;

[0053] The collecting box 51 is fixed between the inner walls of the discharge trough 14 by bolts, and the collecting box 51 is located below the end of the conveyor belt, and an arc-shaped guide plate 32 is installed between the limit arms 3 on both sides of the end of the conveyor belt by screws, and the bottom end of the guide plate 32 is arranged opposite the collecting box 51, and the top and bottom ends of the collecting box 51 are open, and the inner wall surfaces of the two sides of the interior of the collecting box 51 along its width direction are inclined, and a fixing groove 1 511 and a fixing groove 2 512 are respectively opened in the vertical direction on the outer wall of one side of the collecting box 51, and there are two fixing grooves 2 512. A fixing shaft 513 is inserted and fixed between the inner walls of the fixing groove 2 512, and the outer sleeve of the fixed shaft 513 is provided with a replaceable adjustment spring, and two relatively arranged shaft seats 2 514 are also installed on the side walls of the collecting box 51 by screws.

[0054] The bottom cover 52 is arranged below the bottom wall of the collection box 51. Two oppositely arranged shaft seats 3 521 are installed on the top surface of the bottom cover 52 by screws, and a fixing sleeve 56 is also installed on the top surface of the bottom cover 52 by screws. A rotating shaft 2 561 synchronized with the fixing sleeve 56 passes through the fixing sleeve 56, and the rotating shaft 2 561 is rotatably arranged between the shaft seats 2 514 on both sides.

[0055] One end of the slide 2 53 slides between the inner walls of the fixed groove 2 512, the fixed shaft 513 passes through the slide 2 53 and slides in contact with it, the top of the adjusting spring is connected and fixed to the top wall of the fixed groove 2 512, and the bottom end of the adjusting spring is in contact with the top surface of the slide 2 53. The slides 2 53 on both sides are placed between the ends outside the fixed groove 2 512 and are rotatably provided with a connecting shaft 531, and a linkage handle 1 54 is provided between the shaft seat 3 521 located on the same side and the side wall of the other side of the slide 2 53 through an axis connection.

[0056] End shafts 522 are installed on both side walls of the bottom cover 52 by means of threaded connections, and circular grooves (not shown in the figure) are provided between the inner walls of the test bench 1 on both sides of the bottom cover 52. A rotating arm 55 is rotatably arranged in the circular groove. One end of the rotating arm 55 is in contact with the end shaft 522, and the other end of the rotating arm 55 is connected to motor 2 551. Motor 2 551 is a rotating motor, and motor 2 551 is installed between the inner walls of the test bench 1 (i.e., located on the other side of the circular groove) by screws.

[0057] It should be noted that the rotation center of the rotating arm 55 is arranged colinearly with the rotation center of the second rotating shaft 561; when the bottom cover 52 is in horizontal contact with the bottom wall of the collection box 51, the end shaft 522 is just located in the hook groove of the rotating arm 55, and the rotating arm 55 is at the lowest position in its rotation process (which is also the initial position).

[0058] It should be further explained that as the dried material gradually falls into the collecting box 51 and falls on the bottom cover 52, the bottom cover 52 is in a horizontal state and contacts the bottom wall of the collecting box 51, and the slide 2 53 is located at the bottom end of the fixed groove 2 512. As the material gradually increases, the weight of the material on the bottom cover 52 also gradually increases. Because the storage barrel 44 is in a paused state after moving back and forth once, after being dried by the dryer 2, the fallen material also falls into the collecting box 51. The opening and closing process of the bottom cover 52 is controlled according to the difference between the total weight of the dried material and the force of the adjusting spring on the slide 2 53. When the material is fully dried, the bottom cover 52 is opened and closed. (i.e. the drying requirements are met), the bottom cover 52 cannot be opened automatically. At this time, the PLC controller starts the second motor 551, which drives the rotating arm 55 to rotate. The rotation angle of the second motor 551 is always 15 degrees, so that the rotating arm 55 lifts the end shaft 522 to the upper side, so that the bottom cover 52 rotates and opens around the second rotating shaft 561 under the action of the end shaft 522, and the dried material falls onto the conveyor belt 12 and continues to be transported forward; when the material is not fully dried (i.e. there is still a certain amount of moisture in the material and the drying requirements are not met), the bottom cover 52 automatically opens under the action of the weight of the material, and the fallen material is also transported forward with the conveyor belt 12.

[0059] During the rotation of the bottom cover 52, it rotates synchronously with the fixed sleeve 56 around the rotating shaft 2 561, so that the shaft seat 3 521 moves upward, and the sliding seat 2 53 is controlled to slide upward along the fixed groove 2 512 through the linkage handle 1 54, and exerts a force on the adjusting spring. When the material falls, the sliding seat 2 53 slides downward under the reaction force of the adjusting spring, and drives the shaft seat 3 521 to move downward through the linkage handle 1 54, so that the bottom cover 52 gradually returns to a horizontal state, and finally stays in a horizontal position and contacts the bottom wall of the collection box 51.

[0060] The opening method of the bottom cover 52 is described in detail as follows:

[0061] The total weight of the material falling in the storage barrel 44 during a round trip is recorded as M, the total weight of the material after drying is recorded as m, and the weight of the material when it reaches the drying standard is recorded as n. The total force of the adjusting springs on both sides on the slide 2 53 is set according to the weight of n. When m is less than or equal to n, the bottom cover 52 always maintains contact with the bottom wall of the collection box 51, which means that the dryness of the material has reached the standard requirement. Only when m is greater than n, the bottom cover 52 starts to rotate downward for adjustment, which also means that the dryness of the material at this time does not meet the standard requirement.

[0062] like Figure 4-5As shown, the detection mechanism 6 includes a second fixing frame 61, a lifting member 62, an adjusting gear 63, a fixed shaft sleeve 64, an adjusting seat 65, a limiting piece 66 and a swing arm assembly, and the swing arm assembly includes a second linkage handle 67 and a linkage frame 68;

[0063] The second fixing frame 61 has a U-shaped structure and its bottom end is fixed to the test platform 1 by bolts. Two oppositely arranged shaft seats 4 611 are installed on the side walls of the second fixing frame 61 by screws.

[0064] The lifting member 62 is an L-shaped strip. The top end of the lifting member 62 passes through the inner wall of the fixing frame 2 61 and slides in contact with it. The bottom end of the lifting member 62 slides between the inner walls of the fixing groove 1 511, and the connecting shaft 531 passes through the inner wall of the bottom end of the lifting member 62.

[0065] Tooth grooves are evenly provided on the vertical side walls of one side of the lifting member 62, and an adjusting gear 63 is engaged with one side of the tooth groove. A synchronous shaft 631 that rotates synchronously with the adjusting gear 63 passes through the middle of the adjusting gear 63, and one end of the synchronous shaft 631 rotates between the inner walls of one of the four shaft seats 611, and the other end of the synchronous shaft 631 passes through the other four shaft seats 611 and rotates in contact with it. A threaded portion 6311 is also provided on the synchronous shaft 631, and a convex ring 6312 is installed on the outer wall of the synchronous shaft 631 near one end by screws. An L bracket 643 is installed on one side wall of the testing platform 1 by bolts, and a fixed shaft sleeve 64 is fixed to the top of the L bracket 643 by screws. One end of the synchronous shaft 631 rotates between the inner walls of the fixed shaft sleeve 64, and the convex ring 6312 also rotates between the inner walls of the fixed shaft sleeve 64.

[0066] The adjustment seat 65 is arranged in an "I"-shaped structure, and is arranged on the threaded portion 6311 and moves with it through thread transmission. A limiting plate 66 is connected to the middle side of the adjustment seat 65. One end of the limiting plate 66 is welded with a "T"-shaped piston shaft 661 between its inner wall. The piston shaft 661 passes through the fixing frame 2 61 and is in sliding contact with the inner wall, thereby cooperating with the thread transmission between the adjustment seat 65 and the threaded portion 6311.

[0067] An arc-shaped scale plate 642 is mounted on one end of the fixed sleeve 64 by screws, and an arc-shaped fixed arm 641 is mounted on two opposite positions on the fixed sleeve 64 by screws. The fixed arm 641 and the scale plate 642 are distributed in concentric circle trajectories. Two intersecting linkage frames 68 are rotatably provided at the other end of the fixed sleeve 64. The intersection of the two linkage frames 68 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixed sleeve 64 by an axis. Two intersecting linkage handles 67 are rotatably provided at two opposite positions on one end of the adjustment seat 65 close to the fixed sleeve 64. The other ends of the two linkage handles 67 on the same side are connected to the end of the linkage frame 68 on that side by an axis, and an indicator mark 681 is mounted on the other end of the linkage frame 68 by screws. A notch is provided on the indicator mark 681, and the scale plate 642 passes through the notches of the indicator marks 681 on both sides and slides in contact with them.

[0068] It should be further explained that, as the bottom cover 52 moves downward, the material gradually falls onto the conveyor belt 12, and in this process, the connecting shaft 531 makes a vertical linear motion upward, thereby driving the lifting member 62 to move upward and adjust synchronously. As the lifting member 62 moves upward, the adjusting gear 63 drives the synchronous shaft 631 to rotate. Under the action of the threaded portion 6311 and the piston shaft 661, the adjusting seat 65 moves and adjusts along the threaded portion 6311 toward one side of the fixed sleeve 64, thereby driving the synchronous movement of the linkage handle 2 67, so that the angle between the linkage handles 2 67 on both sides increases. Similarly, in the linkage When the movable handle 67 is moved and adjusted, the linkage frame 68 connected to it is also synchronously driven to adjust together, so that the indicator marks 681 on the linkage handles 67 on both sides tend to move away from each other, that is, the angle range between the two indicator marks 681 becomes larger, and the angle between the two indicator marks 681 indirectly reflects the degree of dryness of the material; if the material is dried to the standard, the angle between the two indicator marks 681 is constant at this time, because the adjustment of the indicator mark 681 at this time is caused by the drive of the motor 2 551, and the drive angle of the motor 2 551 is always 15 degrees.

[0069] Working principle:

[0070] The material is placed in the storage barrel 44, and the storage barrel 44 is moved back and forth to drop onto the conveyor belt of the dryer 2. After being dried in the dryer 2, the dried material falls from the other end of the conveyor belt and falls into the collection box 51. As the material continues to fall into the collection box 51, the gravity on the bottom cover 52 continues to increase.

[0071] When the material is not completely dried, the weight of the material at this time must be greater than the total weight of the material in the completely dried state, so that the bottom cover 52 automatically moves downward to open, and the material falls onto the conveyor belt 12 and is transported forward. In this case, the slide 2 53 is driven upward by the bottom cover 52, and the slide 2 53 is driven upward synchronously, so that the lifting member 62 connected to the slide 2 53 moves upward synchronously, and drives the rotation of the adjusting gear 63. As the adjusting gear 63 rotates, the synchronous shaft 631 rotates synchronously therewith, and the adjusting seat 65 moves along the threaded portion 6311 toward the side where the fixed shaft sleeve 64 is located under the action of the threaded transmission, thereby controlling the linkage handle 2 67 to open outward, and driving the linkage frame 68 to open synchronously, so that the indicator marks 681 on both sides slide and adjust along the surface of the dial 642, and the angle between the indicator marks 681 on both sides also increases accordingly. The size of the angle between the two indicator marks 681 reflects the drying performance of the dryer 2.

[0072] When the material is sufficiently dried, the bottom cover 52 cannot be opened automatically. At this time, the PLC controller starts the second motor 551, which controls the rotating arm 55 to rotate upward 15 degrees and then reset, so that the material falls onto the conveyor belt 12 and continues to be transported forward when the bottom cover 52 is opened.

[0073] As the bottom cover 52 is opened, after the material falls, the slide 2 53 is reset downward under the action of the adjustment spring, and drives the bottom cover 52 to reset to a horizontal state in contact with the bottom wall of the collection box 51 through the linkage handle 1 54.
