[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second discharge pipe 51 is fixedly connected to the storage box 3, and the second discharge pipe 51 is provided with an exhaust pipe 52, the end of the second discharge pipe 51 is provided with a ring plate 56 that is rotatably sealed and connected to the transverse rotating drum 5, and the second discharge pipe 51 is provided with an arc-shaped cavity 511 that is connected to the exhaust pipe 52, and the ring plate 56 is provided with an air outlet 55 that is connected to the arc-shaped cavity 511 and the transverse rotating drum 5, and the arc-shaped cavity 511 is provided with an exhaust component for opening or closing the exhaust pipe 52, and the exhaust component adopts the existing technology, such as a switch valve arranged on the first discharge pipe 22, the second discharge pipe 51 and the exhaust pipe 52;

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water cylinder 2 is provided with a first conveying pipe 23 rotatably connected thereto and a first discharge pipe 22 communicating with the first conveying pipe 23 and the vertical rotating cylinder 4. One end of the first conveying pipe 23 penetrates a side wall of the water cylinder 2 and communicates with one end of the horizontal rotating cylinder 5. A water filter net 41 is provided at the bottom of the vertical rotating cylinder 4.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water cylinder 2 is provided with a second conveying pipe 21 fixedly connected thereto, and the second conveying pipe 21 is provided with a spiral conveying shaft 211 extending into the first conveying pipe 23, the spiral conveying shaft 211 penetrates the other side wall of the water cylinder 2 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 11 arranged on the support plate on the base 1, and the motor 11 is a commercially available rotating motor; the base 1 is provided with a rotating device for driving the horizontal rotating drum 5 and the vertical rotating drum 4 to rotate, and the rotating device includes a first gear 212 mounted on the spiral conveying shaft 211, a second gear 42 mounted on the vertical rotating drum 4, and a third gear 231 mounted on the second conveying pipe 23, and the second gear 42 and the first gear 212 and the third gear 231 are all meshed for transmission.

[0033] The working principle of the above rotary drum drying equipment is as follows: first, add the pharmaceutical intermediate (such as p-methoxybenzoic acid) into the vertical rotary drum 4, turn on the motor 11, and the first gear 212 drives the second gear 42 to rotate, that is, drives the vertical rotary drum 4 to rotate on the top of the water drum 2 for preliminary drying, and the water falls from the water filter 41 at the bottom of the vertical rotary drum 4 into the water drum 2 and is discharged;

[0034] After the preliminary drying is completed, the switch valve of the first discharge pipe 22 is opened, and the first gear 212 drives the screw conveying shaft 21 to rotate, thereby transferring the pharmaceutical intermediate to the horizontal rotating drum 5. The horizontal rotating drum 5 rotates due to the engagement of the second gear 231 and the third gear 42 on the first conveying pipe 23 and cooperates with the electric heater for drying. During the drying process, the exhaust pipe 52 is manually opened and closed to release pressure and exhaust. After the drying is completed, the switch valve on the second discharge pipe 51 is opened to transfer the pharmaceutical intermediate to the storage box 3 for storage.

[0035] Embodiment 2: This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the exhaust assembly includes a piston rod 515 with one end slidingly sealing and blocking the air outlet 55, a first baffle 514 fixedly connected to the other end of the piston rod 515, and a second airbag rod 516 used to connect the first baffle 514 with the side wall of the arc-shaped cavity 511, the exhaust pipe 52 passes through the inner wall of the second discharge pipe 51, the first baffle 514 is used for slidingly sealing and blocking the exhaust pipe 52, and the piston rod 515 is composed of a piston blocking the air outlet 55 and a rod body connecting the piston and the first baffle 514.

[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is different from that of Embodiment 1 in that, under high temperature, as the drying time increases, the air pressure in the horizontal drum 5 gradually increases, thereby pushing open the piston rod 515 and allowing the gas to enter the exhaust area 512 from the outlet hole 55, so that the piston rod 515 drives the first baffle 514 to move left to open the exhaust pipe 52 for automatic exhaust.

[0037] Embodiment 3: This embodiment differs from Embodiment 2 in that Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the side wall of the second discharge pipe 51, the side wall of the ring plate 56, and the side wall of the transverse drum 5 have a first cavity, a second cavity, and a third cavity in sequence, and the first cavity, the second cavity, and the third cavity are connected in sequence. The drying device includes a high-temperature water tank 54 connected to the first cavity through a high-temperature water inlet pipe 541 and a high-temperature water outlet pipe 542, and a low-temperature water tank 53 connected to the first cavity through a low-temperature water inlet pipe 531 and a low-temperature water outlet pipe 532. A second baffle 517 for sliding and sealing to block the low-temperature water inlet pipe 531 or the high-temperature water inlet pipe 541 and a first airbag rod 512 for connecting the second baffle 517 with the second airbag rod 516 are provided in the first cavity, and the first airbag rod 512 passes through the inner wall of the second discharge pipe 51 through the connecting pipe 513 and is connected to the second airbag rod 516; when the air pressure is too high, the second baffle 517 gradually slides and seals to block the high-temperature water inlet pipe 541 and opens the low-temperature water inlet pipe 531;

[0038] The low-temperature water outlet pipe 532 and the high-temperature water outlet pipe 542 are both provided with a control mechanism for controlling the opening or closing of water outlet, and the control mechanism includes a water level monitoring meter arranged in the high-temperature water tank 54 and the low-temperature water tank 53, a one-way switch valve arranged on the high-temperature water outlet pipe 542 and the low-temperature water outlet pipe 532, and a controller arranged on the second discharge pipe 51. The water level monitoring meter and the one-way switch valve are both electrically connected to the controller, and the water level monitoring meter, the controller and the switch valve are all commercially available equipment.

[0039] The working principle of this embodiment is different from that of Embodiment 1 in that, during the exhaust process, the first baffle 514 moves leftward to squeeze the second airbag rod 516 to stretch the first airbag rod 512 to gradually open the low-temperature water inlet pipe 531 and gradually close the high-temperature water inlet pipe 541. When the second baffle 517 does not completely close the high-temperature water inlet pipe 541, the low-temperature water dilutes the high-temperature water to gradually reduce the temperature until the high-temperature water inlet pipe 541 is completely blocked by the second baffle 517, and the high-temperature water is flushed back into the high-temperature water tank 54 from the high-temperature water outlet pipe 542. When the water level monitoring meter in the high-temperature water tank 54 detects that the water level has risen to the highest point, the one-way switch valve of the high-temperature water outlet pipe 542 is closed through the controller, thereby starting the low-temperature water circulation for low temperature.
