Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of plastic products, in particular to a plastic particle drying device. Background Art

[0002] Plastic pellets refer to granular plastics. The shape of the pellets allows the plastic to be heated evenly during the heating and plasticizing process, which helps to increase the uniformity of plasticization, making it easier to mix with other additives later, and the product is smoother. It also makes it easier to fill the internal storage space of the container, maximizing the use of storage space.

[0003] The Chinese invention patent with publication number CN116945410A disclosed a plastic particle drying device on October 27, 2023, including an outer barrel body, the top and bottom ends of which are both conical; the present invention puts plastic particles into the drying barrel from a feed hopper, and the plastic particles will fall onto the connecting cover and be diverted by multiple partitions, so that the plastic particles are evenly distributed at the edge of the bottom plate. The plastic particles can be drained first through the drain holes, and the motor is started. During the rotation of the rotating drum and the drying barrel through the first gear and the second gear, the plastic particles are acted upon by centrifugal force and move toward the edge of the bottom plate. Since the circular inclined plate is inclined, the plastic particles can move upward along the circular inclined plate. During the high-speed rotation of the drying barrel, water on the plastic particles is thrown out from the water-throwing holes of the circular inclined plate. The circular baffle can prevent the plastic particles from being thrown out of the drying barrel from above, and the circular guide plate can guide the plastic particles moving to the top to the middle of the bottom plate.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned disclosed solutions have the following shortcomings: the existing plastic pellet drying equipment is complex and has a small drying space, which cannot dry a large number of plastic pellets at the same time. In addition, the centrifugal drying method can only remove most of the liquid on the surface of the plastic pellets, but cannot remove the remaining small amount of moisture, so the degree of drying cannot be achieved completely. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
