Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pre-cooling device for fine aggregates in concrete production, belonging to the field of concrete production technology. Background Technology

[0002] Concrete is an artificial stone material formed by mixing cementitious materials, aggregates, water, and, if necessary, admixtures or additives in a certain proportion, followed by stirring, molding, and hardening. It is widely used in engineering projects such as houses, bridges, roads, and dams.

[0003] In the concrete production process, in order to reduce the concrete exit temperature and prevent thermal cracking, fine aggregate pre-cooling is required. Fine aggregate pre-cooling is an important measure to control the concrete pouring temperature, prevent cracking, and ensure construction quality in high-temperature environments.

[0004] Commonly used methods for precooling fine aggregates include water cooling, air cooling, vacuum cooling, and liquid nitrogen rapid cooling. Water cooling, which involves spraying cold water onto the surface of the fine aggregates, may cause uneven moisture content, leading to a deviation of the actual water-cement ratio from the design value and affecting the strength and durability of the concrete. Air cooling is slow, resulting in a decrease in overall concrete production efficiency. Vacuum cooling and liquid nitrogen rapid cooling are expensive and generally not used. Therefore, we propose a fine aggregate precooling device for concrete production to address these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a pre-cooling device for fine aggregate in concrete production.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A pre-cooling device for fine aggregate in concrete production includes a frame, and a material feeding mechanism, a pre-cooling mechanism, and a cooling guiding mechanism mounted on the frame. The pre-cooling mechanism is located below the material feeding mechanism, and its top is connected to the bottom of the material feeding mechanism. The cooling guiding mechanism is located below the pre-cooling mechanism, and its bottom is connected to the pre-cooling mechanism via a material guiding pipe.

[0007] The material handling mechanism includes a material-retarding bottom frame, a rotating outer cylinder integrally formed on the top of the material-retarding bottom frame, a feeding frame integrally formed on the top of the rotating outer cylinder, a material-retarding inner cylinder inside the rotating outer cylinder, a discharge frame integrally formed on the bottom of the material-retarding inner cylinder, and the discharge frame is connected to the material-retarding inner cylinder. A feeding port is opened on the top of the material-retarding inner cylinder, and swing horizontal shafts are provided at both ends of the material-retarding inner cylinder, and the swing horizontal shafts at both ends of the material-retarding inner cylinder are rotatably connected to the rotating outer cylinder.

The two third bevel gears are respectively provided on two first transverse shafts. The two first transverse shafts are rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the material buffer frame through the second mounting base. A first motor is provided on the second mounting base, and the output shaft of the first motor is connected to the corresponding first transverse shaft.

[0010] The precooling mechanism includes a precooling outer frame, a cooling component is provided inside the precooling outer frame, the precooling outer frame is fixed on the frame, and the upper end of the precooling outer frame is connected to the lower end of the material feeding mechanism. The lower end of the precooling outer frame is provided with a material gathering frame whose shape and size gradually decrease from top to bottom. The bottom of the material gathering frame is provided with a discharge pipe, and the discharge pipe is connected to the upper end of the guide pipe.

[0011] The cooling assembly includes multiple hollow material-separating longitudinal frames arranged side by side and fixedly connected to the pre-cooling outer frame. The hollow material-separating longitudinal frames are arranged vertically and parallel to the plane determined by the swing trajectory of the material-laying mechanism. The top of each hollow material-separating longitudinal frame is integrally formed with a material-loosening protrusion. The cross-sectional shape of the material-loosening protrusion is an isosceles trapezoid with the upper base facing upward. All the hollow material-separating longitudinal frames are connected and interconnected through multiple parallel connecting pipes.

[0012] The hollow partition frame located at one end of the cooling assembly has multiple liquid inlet bottom pipes at the bottom and multiple liquid outlet top pipes at the top. Both the liquid inlet bottom pipes and the liquid outlet top pipes penetrate one side wall of the pre-cooling outer frame and are connected to the interior of the cooling assembly. The precooling frame is equipped with an inlet main pipe and an outlet main pipe. The inlet main pipe is connected to multiple inlet bottom pipes through inlet branch pipes, and the outlet main pipe is connected to multiple outlet top pipes through outlet branch pipes.

[0013] The cooling mechanism includes a guide cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the frame. A feed longitudinal pipe is located at the top of one end of the guide cylinder and is connected to the lower end of the guide pipe. A discharge longitudinal pipe is located at the bottom of the guide cylinder at the end furthest from the feed longitudinal pipe. A screw conveyor is coaxially mounted on the guide cylinder, and a spiral blade is mounted on the screw conveyor. The spiral blade has a hollow structure to form a cavity inside. Both ends of the screw conveyor have coaxially opened liquid guide blind holes. Both ends of the screw conveyor have radially arranged liquid guide pipes connecting the liquid guide blind holes and the cavities. An inlet pipe is connected to the end of the screw conveyor near the discharge longitudinal pipe via a rotary joint, and the inlet pipe is fixedly mounted on the guide cylinder via a first fixing bracket. A drain pipe is connected to the end of the screw conveyor near the feed longitudinal pipe via a rotary joint, and the drain pipe is fixedly mounted on the guide cylinder via a second fixing bracket.

[0014] A crown gear is provided at one end of the auger horizontal shaft near the drain pipe. A third gear is meshed on the crown gear. The third gear is located on the second vertical shaft, which is rotatably mounted on the guide cylinder via a third mounting base.

The lower end of the connecting conduit is connected to the drain pipe, and the upper end is connected to the main inlet pipe.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. Coolant is introduced into the pre-cooling mechanism and the cooling conduction mechanism. The fine aggregate to be pre-cooled is poured into the feeding mechanism. After being distributed by the feeding mechanism, the fine aggregate enters the pre-cooling mechanism for cooling. After initial pre-cooling, the fine aggregate flows into the cooling conduction mechanism through the feed pipe, where it undergoes secondary pre-cooling. Compared with water cooling, this invention uses a non-contact pre-cooling mechanism and a cooling conduction mechanism to pre-cool the fine aggregate, which does not cause changes in the moisture content of the fine aggregate, ensuring that the actual water-cement ratio of the concrete meets the design requirements and guaranteeing the strength and durability of the concrete. Compared with air cooling, this invention cools the fine aggregate faster and with better cooling effect, ensuring the overall production efficiency of concrete. Compared with vacuum cooling and liquid nitrogen rapid cooling, the coolant can be recycled, and the power consumption and operating cost are low.

[0017] 2. By controlling the swing horizontal axis to reciprocate in a certain angle, the swing horizontal axis can drive the discharge frame to reciprocate in a certain angle through the slowing inner cylinder to distribute the fine aggregate, preventing the accumulation of fine aggregate during subsequent pre-cooling and affecting the pre-cooling efficiency.

[0018] 3. The cooling assembly comprises multiple hollow spacer frames arranged side-by-side. A fine aggregate pre-cooling channel is formed between every two adjacent hollow spacer frames. This creates multiple pre-cooling channels between the hollow spacer frames, increasing the contact area between the fine aggregate and the cooling assembly, thus improving the cooling effect and efficiency of the cooling assembly. The hollow spacer frames are parallel to the plane determined by the swing trajectory of the material handling mechanism, which helps to distribute the fine aggregate placed in the pre-cooling outer frame into a sufficient number of pre-cooling channels, further enhancing the cooling effect and efficiency of the cooling assembly.

[0019] 4. The coolant flows from bottom to top in the hollow partition frame, while the fine aggregate flows from top to bottom in the pre-cooling channel. This facilitates sufficient indirect contact between the coolant and the fine aggregate, pre-cooling and lowering their temperature, further enhancing the cooling effect and efficiency of the coolant on the fine aggregate. The coolant flows from the end near the discharge longitudinal pipe to the end near the feed longitudinal pipe within the spiral blades, while the fine aggregate flows from the end near the feed longitudinal pipe to the end near the discharge longitudinal pipe within the guide cylinder. This also facilitates sufficient indirect contact between the coolant and the fine aggregate, pre-cooling and lowering their temperature, further enhancing the cooling effect and efficiency of the coolant on the fine aggregate.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to what is described.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, the present invention discloses a fine aggregate precooling device for concrete production, comprising a frame, and a material feeding mechanism 2, a precooling mechanism 3, and a cooling guiding mechanism 4 mounted on the frame. The precooling mechanism 3 is located below the material feeding mechanism 2, and its top is connected to the bottom of the material feeding mechanism 2. The cooling guiding mechanism 4 is located below the precooling mechanism 3, and is connected to the bottom of the precooling mechanism 3 via a material guide pipe 5. In use, coolant is introduced into the precooling mechanism 3 and the cooling guiding mechanism 4. The fine aggregate to be precooled is poured into the material feeding mechanism 2. After being fed by the material feeding mechanism 2, the fine aggregate enters the precooling mechanism 3 for cooling. After initial precooling by the precooling mechanism 3, the fine aggregate flows into the cooling guiding mechanism 4 through the material guide pipe 5, and then undergoes secondary precooling by the cooling guiding mechanism 4. Compared with water cooling, this invention uses a pre-cooling mechanism 3 and a cooling conduction mechanism 4 to pre-cool the fine aggregate in a non-contact manner, which does not cause changes in the moisture content of the fine aggregate, ensuring that the actual water-cement ratio of the concrete meets the design requirements and guaranteeing the strength and durability of the concrete. Compared with air cooling, this invention cools the fine aggregate faster and with better cooling effect, ensuring the overall production efficiency of concrete. Compared with vacuum cooling and liquid nitrogen rapid cooling, the coolant can be recycled, and the power consumption and operating cost are low.

[0024] Specifically, the frame includes a first support 1, and multiple inner mounting frames 12 are arranged side by side on the top of the first support 1. A second support 11 is also provided on the top of the first support 1. The material handling mechanism 2 and the pre-cooling mechanism 3 are both installed and fixed on the second support 11. The cooling mechanism 4 is installed and fixed on the inner side of the multiple inner mounting frames 12.

[0025] The material handling mechanism 2 includes a material-retarding bottom frame 21. A rotating outer cylinder 22 is integrally formed on the top of the material-retarding bottom frame 21. A feeding frame 23 is integrally formed on the top of the rotating outer cylinder 22. A material-retarding inner cylinder 24 is located inside the rotating outer cylinder 22. A discharge frame 25 is integrally formed on the bottom of the material-retarding inner cylinder 24 and is connected to it. A feeding port 241 is opened at the top of the material-retarding inner cylinder 24. Swinging horizontal shafts 26 are provided at both ends of the material-retarding inner cylinder 24, and these shafts are rotatably connected to the rotating outer cylinder 22. Fine aggregate poured into the feeding frame 23 enters the material-retarding inner cylinder 24 through the feeding port 241 and is then discharged downwards through the discharge frame 25. By controlling the swing horizontal axis 26 to reciprocate forward and reverse at a certain angle, the swing horizontal axis 26 can drive the discharge frame 25 to reciprocate at a certain angle through the slowing inner cylinder 24 to distribute the fine aggregate, preventing the accumulation of fine aggregate during subsequent pre-cooling and affecting the pre-cooling efficiency.

[0026] The swing axis 26 at one end of the inner buffer cylinder 24 extends outside the rotating outer cylinder 22. Two first bevel gears 27 are symmetrically mounted on the swing axis 26, with their small ends facing each other. A first mounting seat 273 is provided on the outer wall of the buffer bottom frame 21. A first longitudinal shaft 272 is rotatably connected to the first mounting seat 273. A sector-shaped bevel gear 271 is provided on the first longitudinal shaft 272 below the two first bevel gears 27, and the sector-shaped bevel gear 271 is located above the first mounting seat 273. The sector-shaped bevel gear 271 alternately meshes with the two first bevel gears 27. Figure 3 As shown, when the sector bevel gear 271 meshes with one of the first bevel gears 27, the sector bevel gear 271 can drive the discharge frame 25 to swing clockwise around the swing horizontal axis 26 by the first bevel gear 27, the swing horizontal axis 26, and the material-releasing inner cylinder 24. Similarly, when the sector bevel gear 271 meshes with the other first bevel gear 27, the sector bevel gear 271 can drive the discharge frame 25 to swing counterclockwise around the swing horizontal axis 26 by the first bevel gear 27, the swing horizontal axis 26, and the material-releasing inner cylinder 24. Therefore, by alternately meshing with the two first bevel gears 27, the sector bevel gear 271 can drive the discharge frame 25 to swing back and forth around the swing horizontal axis 26 by a certain angle to distribute the material.

[0027] A second bevel gear 28 is provided on the first longitudinal shaft 272 on the lower side of the first mounting base 273. The second bevel gear 28 meshes with two third bevel gears 281, and the two third bevel gears 281 are distributed on both sides of the second bevel gear 28. The two third bevel gears 281 are correspondingly mounted on two first transverse shafts 282. The two first transverse shafts 282 are rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the material buffer frame 21 via the second mounting base 283. A first motor 284 is provided on the second mounting base 283, and the output shaft of the first motor 284 is connected to the corresponding first transverse shaft 282. In use, the two first motors 284 operate synchronously, driving the second bevel gear 28 to rotate via the first transverse shaft 282 and the third bevel gears 281, respectively. The second bevel gear 28 drives the first longitudinal shaft 272 and the sector bevel gears 271 mounted on the first longitudinal shaft 272 to rotate. Two first motors 284 are used to drive the second bevel gear 28 and the first longitudinal shaft 272 to rotate in order to ensure sufficient torque; of course, only one first motor 284 can be used to drive the second bevel gear 28 and the first longitudinal shaft 272 to rotate.

[0028] The precooling mechanism 3 includes a precooling outer frame 31, within which a cooling component 33 is installed. The precooling outer frame 31 is fixed to the machine frame, and its upper end is connected to the lower end of the material handling mechanism 2. The lower end of the precooling outer frame 31 has a material gathering frame 311 whose shape and size gradually decrease from top to bottom. A discharge pipe 32 is located at the bottom of the material gathering frame 311, and the discharge pipe 32 is connected to the upper end of the guide pipe 5. In use, the upper end of the precooling outer frame 31 is connected to the lower end of the material holding frame 21. Fine aggregate requiring precooling enters from the upper end of the precooling outer frame 31 and is cooled by the cooling component 33. The cooled fine aggregate falls into the material gathering frame 311 and then enters the cooling mechanism 4 via the discharge pipe 32 and the guide pipe 5.

[0029] The cooling assembly 33 includes multiple hollow material-separating longitudinal frames 331 arranged side-by-side and fixedly connected to the pre-cooling outer frame 31. The hollow material-separating longitudinal frames 331 are arranged vertically and parallel to the plane determined by the swing trajectory of the material-laying mechanism 2. A material-loosening protrusion 332 is integrally formed on the top of each hollow material-separating longitudinal frame 331. The cross-sectional shape of the material-loosening protrusion 332 is an isosceles trapezoid, with the upper base facing upwards. All the hollow material-separating longitudinal frames 331 are connected and interconnected through multiple parallel-arranged connecting pipes 333. The cooling assembly 33 includes multiple hollow material-separating longitudinal frames 331 arranged side-by-side, forming a fine aggregate pre-cooling channel between each pair of adjacent hollow material-separating longitudinal frames 331. This creates multiple pre-cooling channels between the multiple hollow material-separating longitudinal frames 331, which helps to increase the contact area between the fine aggregate and the cooling assembly 33, improving the cooling effect and efficiency of the cooling assembly 33 on the fine aggregate. The hollow spacer frame 331 is parallel to the plane determined by the swing trajectory of the material handling mechanism 2, which helps to disperse the fine aggregate placed in the pre-cooling outer frame 31 by the discharge frame 25 into a sufficient number of pre-cooling channels, thereby further improving the cooling effect and efficiency of the cooling component 33 on the fine aggregate. The top of the hollow spacer frame 331 is integrally formed with a material distribution protrusion 332, the cross-sectional shape of which is an isosceles trapezoid, facilitating the introduction of fine aggregate into the pre-cooling channels through the material distribution protrusion 332. All the internal cavities of the hollow spacer frame 331 are connected by multiple connecting pipes 333.

[0030] The hollow partition frame 331 located at one end of the cooling assembly 33 has multiple liquid inlet bottom pipes 334 at the bottom and multiple liquid outlet top pipes 335 at the top. The multiple liquid inlet bottom pipes 334 and the multiple liquid outlet top pipes 335 all penetrate one side wall of the precooling outer frame 31 and are respectively connected to the interior of the cooling assembly 33. The precooling outer frame 31 is equipped with an inlet main pipe 34 and an outlet main pipe 35. The inlet main pipe 34 is connected to multiple inlet bottom pipes 334 through inlet branch pipes 341, and the outlet main pipe 35 is connected to multiple outlet top pipes 335 through outlet branch pipes 351. In use, after the coolant enters the inlet main pipe 34, it flows into the multiple inlet bottom pipes 334 through the multiple inlet branch pipes 341, then enters the bottom of the hollow partition frame 331, and gradually flows upward to the top of the hollow partition frame 331. Then it flows into the multiple outlet branch pipes 351 through the multiple outlet top pipes 335, and then collects in the outlet main pipe 35 for discharge, and finally is discharged into the external coolant recovery system. Fine aggregate is discharged into the pre-cooling outer frame 31 via the reciprocating oscillating discharge frame 25, and then fed into multiple pre-cooling channels by the dispersing action of the loose material convex frame 332, before slowly falling into the aggregate collection frame 311. The fine aggregate fed into the multiple pre-cooling channels is effectively pre-cooled by the coolant. The coolant flows from bottom to top in the hollow material-separating longitudinal frame 331, while the fine aggregate flows from top to bottom in the pre-cooling channels. This facilitates sufficient indirect contact between the coolant and the fine aggregate, pre-cooling and lowering the temperature of the fine aggregate, further improving the cooling effect and efficiency of the coolant on the fine aggregate.

[0031] The cooling mechanism 4 includes a guide cylinder 41, which is fixedly mounted on the frame. A feed longitudinal pipe 42 is located at the top of one end of the guide cylinder 41 and is connected to the lower end of the guide pipe 5. A discharge longitudinal pipe 43 is located at the bottom of the guide cylinder 41 at the end away from the feed longitudinal pipe 42. An auger shaft 44 is coaxially rotatably mounted on the guide cylinder 41. The auger shaft 44 has helical blades 45, which are hollow to form a cavity 451 inside. Both ends of the auger shaft 44 are... A liquid guiding blind hole 441 is coaxially provided. Both ends of the auger horizontal shaft 44 are provided with a liquid guiding pipe 452 in the radial direction, which connects the liquid guiding blind hole 441 and the cavity 451. The end of the auger horizontal shaft 44 near the discharge vertical pipe 43 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 46 through a rotary joint 442. The liquid inlet pipe 46 is fixedly installed on the guide horizontal cylinder 41 through a first fixing bracket 461. The end of the auger horizontal shaft 44 near the feed vertical pipe 42 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 47 through a rotary joint 442. The liquid outlet pipe 47 is fixedly installed on the guide horizontal cylinder 41 through a second fixing bracket 471. During operation, the coolant enters the blind guide hole 441 at one end of the auger horizontal shaft 44 through the inlet pipe 46, then enters the cavity 451 through the guide pipe 452, and flows from one end of the spiral blade 45 to the other end within the cavity 451. Next, it enters the blind guide hole 441 at the other end of the auger horizontal shaft 44 through another guide pipe 452, and then flows into the outlet pipe 47. Within the spiral blade 45, the coolant flows from the end near the discharge longitudinal pipe 43 to the end near the feed longitudinal pipe 42, while the fine aggregate flows from the end near the feed longitudinal pipe 42 to the end near the discharge longitudinal pipe 43 within the guide cylinder 41. This facilitates sufficient indirect contact between the coolant and the fine aggregate, pre-cooling and lowering the temperature of the fine aggregate, further improving the cooling effect and efficiency of the coolant on the fine aggregate.

[0032] A crown gear 48 is provided at one end of the auger horizontal shaft 44 near the drain pipe 47. A third gear 483 is meshed on the crown gear 48. The third gear 483 is located on the second vertical shaft 482, which is rotatably mounted on the guide cylinder 41 via a third mounting base 481. By controlling the rotation of the second vertical shaft 482, the second vertical shaft 482 can drive the crown gear 48 and the auger horizontal shaft 44 to rotate via the third gear 483. As the spiral blades 45 rotate with the auger horizontal shaft 44, they transport the fine aggregate from the feed vertical pipe 42 to the discharge vertical pipe 43.

[0033] It also includes a common drive shaft 61 and a connecting conduit 7. The common drive shaft 61 is rotatably mounted on the precooling mechanism 3 via two fourth mounting seats 6. The upper end of the common drive shaft 61 is connected to the lower end of the first longitudinal shaft 272, and the lower end is connected to the upper end of the second longitudinal shaft 482. The lower end of the connecting conduit 7 is connected to the drain pipe 47, and the upper end is connected to the main inlet pipe 34. The first longitudinal shaft 272 and the second longitudinal shaft 482 are connected by a common drive shaft 61, allowing the material handling mechanism 2 and the cooling mechanism 4 to share a single drive system (i.e., sharing two first motors 284), simplifying the device structure. The connecting conduit 7 connects the drain pipe 47 to the main inlet pipe 34, allowing the coolant to exchange heat with the fine aggregate in the cooling mechanism 4, and then guide it through the connecting conduit 7 into the pre-cooling mechanism 3 for further heat exchange with the fine aggregate.

[0034] The working principle of the concrete production fine aggregate precooling device of the present invention is as follows: Coolant is injected from the inlet pipe 46 into the liquid guide blind hole 441 at one end of the auger horizontal shaft 44. Then, the coolant enters the cavity 451 through the liquid guide pipe 452, and flows from one end of the spiral blade 45 to the other end within the cavity 451. It then enters the liquid guide blind hole 441 at the other end of the auger horizontal shaft 44 through another liquid guide pipe 452, and then flows into the drain pipe 47. Next, the coolant is guided through the drain pipe 47, connecting conduit 7, main inlet pipe 34, multiple inlet branch pipes 341, and multiple bottom inlet pipes 334 to the bottom of multiple hollow partition frames 331, and gradually flows upward to the top of the hollow partition frames 331. Subsequently, it flows into multiple outlet branch pipes 351 through multiple top outlet pipes 335, and then converges into the main outlet pipe 35 for unified discharge, finally being discharged into the external coolant recovery system.

[0035] Before pouring fine aggregate into the feed frame 23, the two first motors 284 are started. The two first motors 284 operate synchronously, driving the second bevel gear 28 to rotate through the first horizontal shaft 282 and the third bevel gear 281, respectively. The second bevel gear 28 drives the first vertical shaft 272 and the sector bevel gear 271 mounted on the first vertical shaft 272 to rotate. When the sector bevel gear 271 meshes with one of the first bevel gears 27, the sector bevel gear 271 rotates through the first bevel gear 27 and the swing horizontal shaft 26. The inner cylinder 24 of the slowing material drives the discharge frame 25 to swing clockwise around the horizontal axis 26 at a certain angle; similarly, when the sector bevel gear 271 meshes with another first bevel gear 27, the sector bevel gear 271 drives the discharge frame 25 to swing counterclockwise around the horizontal axis 26 at a certain angle through the first bevel gear 27, the horizontal axis 26 and the inner cylinder 24 of the slowing material; therefore, the sector bevel gear 271 can drive the discharge frame 25 to swing back and forth around the horizontal axis 26 at a certain angle by alternately meshing with the two first bevel gears 27.

[0036] The fine aggregate that needs to be pre-cooled is put into the feed frame 23, and then the fine aggregate enters the slowing inner cylinder 24 through the feed port 241. Under the action of the reciprocating oscillating discharge frame 25, the material is distributed to the top of the pre-cooling mechanism 3 to prevent the accumulation of fine aggregate during subsequent pre-cooling and affect the pre-cooling efficiency.

[0037] The cooling component 33 of the pre-cooling mechanism 3 includes multiple hollow spacer frames 331 arranged side by side, forming a fine aggregate pre-cooling channel between each pair of adjacent hollow spacer frames 331. This creates multiple pre-cooling channels between the hollow spacer frames 331. As the fine aggregate slowly flows from top to bottom through these channels, it comes into full contact with the hollow spacer frames 331, exchanging heat with the coolant flowing from bottom to top within the frames, thus achieving initial cooling and temperature reduction of the fine aggregate. The fine aggregate then falls into the aggregate frame 311 and then enters the guide cylinder 41 via the guide pipe 5 and the feed pipe.

[0038] While the first longitudinal shaft 272 rotates, it transmits torque to the second longitudinal shaft 482 through the common drive shaft 61. The second longitudinal shaft 482 drives the auger horizontal shaft 44 to rotate through the third gear 483 and the crown gear 48. As the spiral blades 45 rotate with the auger horizontal shaft 44, they transport the fine aggregate from the feed longitudinal pipe 42 to the discharge longitudinal pipe 43. During this process, the fine aggregate comes into full contact with the surface of the spiral blades 45 and exchanges heat with the coolant inside the spiral blades 45, achieving secondary cooling and temperature reduction of the fine aggregate, further improving the cooling and temperature reduction effect of the fine aggregate.
