[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 13 A molecular sieve dryer includes a housing 1. An installation port 2 is provided on one side of the housing 1. A dryer body 3 for drying the inside of the housing 1 is installed inside the installation port 2. The dryer body 3 includes a connecting plate 31. A rear mounting shell 32 and a front mounting shell 33 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 31. A drying cylinder 34 is fixedly connected between the rear mounting shell 32 and the front mounting shell 33. A heating rod 37 is fixedly installed between the connecting plate 31 and the rear mounting shell 32. A fixing cylinder 38 is provided on the outer side of the heating rod 37. The fixing cylinder 38 is installed between the rear mounting shell 32 and the front mounting shell 33. Drying particles are filled between the heating rod 37 and the fixing cylinder 38. An adjusting cylinder 39 is provided on the outer side of the fixing cylinder 38. The adjusting cylinder 39 is rotatably connected between the rear mounting shell 32 and the front mounting shell 33.
[0031] In this embodiment, the drying cylinder 34 includes an isolation member 341, a heat dissipation plate 342, a sealing plate 343, and a drying port 344. The heat dissipation plate 342, the sealing plate 343, and the drying port 344 are separated by the isolation member 341. The heat dissipation plate 342 is located on the outside of the housing 1, and the drying port 344 is located on the inside of the housing 1. An air outlet 391 is provided on the outside of the regulating cylinder 39.
[0032] Specifically, the heat dissipation plate 342, the sealing plate 343, and the sealing plate 343 can be separated by the isolation component 341, dividing the drying cylinder 34 into three parts. The working state of the dryer body 3 can be changed by adjusting the position of the air outlet 391.
[0033] In this embodiment, an isolation plate 321 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rear mounting shell 32, and a fixing plate 322 is fixedly connected to the front of the inner isolation plate 321 of the rear mounting shell 32. A first mounting groove 327 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixing plate 322, and a second mounting groove 333 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the front mounting shell 33. The two ends of the heating rod 37 are respectively inserted into the inner sides of the first mounting groove 327 and the second mounting groove 333. An extension shell 35 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rear mounting shell 32, and a socket 36 is installed at the rear end of the extension shell 35. A wire is fixedly connected to the rear end of the heating rod 37, and the wire passes through the fixing plate 322, the isolation plate 321 and connects to the socket 36.
[0034] Specifically, the heating rod 37 can heat the filling material, and the heating rod 37 can be fixed in place by the first mounting groove 327 and the second mounting groove 333.
[0035] In this embodiment, a rotating ring 323 is provided at the front end of the fixing plate 322, and a first retaining ring 324 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating ring 323. The first mounting groove 327 is located inside the first retaining ring 324. A second retaining ring 331 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the front mounting shell 33. The fixing cylinder 38 has a hollow design, and both ends of the fixing cylinder 38 are respectively inserted into the inner sides of the first retaining ring 324 and the second retaining ring 331.
[0036] Specifically, the first retaining ring 324 and the second retaining ring 331 can hold the fixed cylinder 38 in place, ensuring the stability of the fixed cylinder 38. The fixed cylinder 38 can restrict the filling material without hindering its operation.
[0037] In this embodiment, an outer ring 332 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the front mounting shell 33, and a second retaining ring 331 is located inside the outer ring 332. An adjusting cylinder 39 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the outer ring 332 and the rotating ring 323. An external gear ring 392 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the adjusting cylinder 39. A motor 328 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rear mounting shell 32, and a gear 329 is fixedly connected to the front end of the motor 328. A slot 3210 is provided on the outer side of both the isolation plate 321 and the fixing plate 322. The gear 329 passes through the two sets of slots 3210 and meshes with the external gear ring 392.
[0038] Specifically, the motor 328 can drive the gear 329 to rotate, which in turn drives the outer gear ring 392 to rotate, causing the adjusting cylinder 39 to rotate outside the outer ring 332 and the rotating ring 323, thereby adjusting the position of the air outlet 391 and thus adjusting the working state of the dryer body 3.
[0039] In this embodiment, a retaining ring 325 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rear mounting shell 32. The retaining ring 325 is located in front of the fixing plate 322. A baffle 393 is provided in front of the external toothed ring 392 and is located behind the retaining ring 325.
[0040] Specifically, the retaining ring 325 can block the external gear ring 392, and the baffle 393 can prevent the retaining ring 325 from rubbing against the external gear ring 392.
[0041] In this embodiment, the isolation member 341 includes a mounting plate 3411. The lower end of the mounting plate 3411 is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket 3412. A rubber pad 3413 is installed on the inner side of the mounting bracket 3412. The lower end of the rubber pad 3413 is in contact with the adjusting cylinder 39. The front end of the retaining ring 325 is fixedly connected to three sets of first slots 326. The rear end of the front mounting shell 33 is fixedly connected to three sets of second slots 334. The front and rear ends of the mounting bracket 3412 are respectively inserted into the inner sides of the second slots 334 and the first slots 326.
[0042] Specifically, the mounting bracket 3412 prevents gas from communicating between the three spaces, ensuring the airtightness of the three spaces.
[0043] In this embodiment, upper cards 3414 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting bracket 3412, and lower cards 3415 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the upper cards 3414 on both sides of the mounting bracket 3412. Clips 3416 are fixedly connected to both sides of the heat sink 342 and the sealing plate 343, and the clips 3416 are snapped between the adjacent upper cards 3414 and lower cards 3415.
[0044] Specifically, the clip 3416 can be secured by the upper clip 3414 and the lower clip 3415, facilitating the disassembly of the heat sink 342 and the sealing plate 343.
[0045] It should be noted that during use, the starting motor 328 drives the gear 329 to rotate, which in turn drives the adjusting cylinder 39 to rotate outside the outer ring 332 and the rotating ring 323 via the baffle 393, aligning the vent 391 with the drying port 344. At this time, the filling material between the fixed cylinder 38 and the heating rod 37 can dry the chamber 1. When the moisture content of the filling material reaches a certain level, the motor 328 continues to drive the adjusting cylinder 39 to rotate, aligning the vent 391 with the heat dissipation plate 342. At this time, the heating rod 37 is energized to heat the filling material, causing the moisture in the filling material to evaporate. The cylinder 38 and the heat sink 342 can discharge water vapor. After the filling material is dried, continue to rotate the adjusting cylinder 39 to align the vent 391 with the sealing plate 343. At this time, the filling material can be cooled. The rubber pad 3413 can separate the heat sink 342, the sealing plate 343, and the drying port 344 to ensure that each space is not affected. The clip 3416 can be clamped by the upper clip 3414 and the lower clip 3415 to facilitate the fixing and disassembly of the mounting bracket 3412. The mounting bracket 3412 can be fixed by the first slot 326 and the second slot 334 to ensure the stability of the upper clip 3414.
[0046] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
