[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the implementation mode of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model discloses a popping bead drying device, comprising: a mounting frame (not shown in the figure), a drying cylinder 1 and a hot air mechanism 5. Among them, the drying cylinder 1 is rotatably arranged on the mounting frame, a feed port 2 is provided at one end of the drying cylinder 1, and a discharge port (not shown in the figure) is provided at the other end of the drying cylinder 1. Specifically, the popping bead drying device also includes a feed door 13 and a discharge door (not shown in the figure), wherein the feed door 13 is hinged to the edge of the feed port 2, and the feed door 13 can be rotated between a first position and a second position to open and close the feed port 2. Similarly, the discharge door is hinged to the edge of the discharge port, and the discharge door can be rotated between a third position and a fourth position to open and close the discharge port. Preferably, in order to prevent the feed door 13 and the discharge door from being opened by mistake, two quick clamps 15 can be respectively provided at both ends of the drying cylinder 1 to achieve the locking of the feed door 13 and the discharge door. As shown Figure 3 As shown, the circumferential surface of the drying cylinder 1 is provided with an air inlet hole 4, and the minimum size of the air inlet hole 4 is smaller than the diameter of the bursting beads. Figure 1 As shown, the hot air mechanism 5 is provided with an air outlet 11 , which is communicated with the air inlet 4 , and the hot air mechanism 5 is used to blow hot air into the drying cylinder 1 .

[0036] When in use, first rotate the discharge door to the fourth position to close the discharge port, and rotate the feed door 13 to the first position, at which time the feed port 2 is opened, and then the bursting beads enter the drying cylinder 1 from the feed port 2, and then start the hot air mechanism 5 and let the drying cylinder 1 start to rotate. When the drying cylinder 1 rotates, the bursting beads move in the drying cylinder 1, and the hot air enters the drying cylinder 1 through the air inlet hole 4 to dry the bursting beads in the drying cylinder 1. After the bursting beads are dried, rotate the discharge door to the third position to open the discharge port, and the bursting beads are output from the discharge port and enter the next process.

[0037] By adopting the above technical scheme, hot air is introduced into the drying cylinder 1 to evaporate the excess moisture on the bursting bead wall material, thereby achieving the purpose of drying and shaping the bursting beads. Compared with the natural air drying method, the drying device disclosed in the utility model can not only shorten the bursting bead drying time and improve the drying efficiency, but also save manpower and improve the degree of automation of bursting bead drying.

[0038] Optionally, it also includes: a motor, a gear and a gear ring 6. The motor is arranged on the mounting frame; the gear is connected to the output end of the motor, and the motor is used to drive the gear to rotate; Figure 1As shown, the gear ring 6 is sleeved on the circumferential surface of one end of the drying cylinder 1, and the gear meshes with the gear ring 6. A support wheel 14 is provided on the circumferential surface of the other end of the drying cylinder 1, and a rotatable roller is provided on the mounting frame. The support wheel 14 contacts the circumferential surface of the roller, and the support wheel 14 can rotate on the roller. The roller can provide support for the support wheel 14 and the drying cylinder 1, and reduce the rotational friction of the drying cylinder 1 and the support wheel 14. When the gear rotates, the gear ring 6 rotates to drive the drying cylinder 1 to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the drying cylinder 1 is realized by the motor and gear transmission, which can improve the degree of automation of the device.

[0039] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The circumferential surface of the drying cylinder 1 is expanded, and the drying cylinder 1 is provided with a plurality of circumferential surfaces of the drying cylinder 1 (such as Figure 2 The air inlet hole groups 12 are arranged in an evenly spaced manner along the first direction (as shown in the R direction), and each air inlet hole group 12 includes a plurality of air inlet holes arranged in an evenly spaced manner along the first direction (as shown in the R direction). Figure 3 The air inlet holes 4 are arranged at equal intervals in the X direction (as shown), and the first direction is parallel to the axis of the drying cylinder 1.

[0040] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the air inlet hole 4 is a strip hole, extending along the first direction, the length of the air inlet hole 4 (as shown in the dimension L1 in the figure) is 20 mm, the width (as shown in the dimension L2 in the figure) is 1.4 mm, the spacing between two adjacent groups of air inlet holes 4 (as shown in the dimension L3 in the figure) is 1.65 mm, and the spacing between two adjacent air inlet holes 4 in the same group of air inlet holes 4 (as shown in the dimension L4 in the figure) is 5 mm.

[0041] Since the diameter range of the bursting beads to be dried is 2.5-4 mm, it can be seen from the above that the minimum size of the air inlet hole 4 is 1.4 mm, which is smaller than the diameter of the bursting beads. Therefore, the above technical solution can not only ensure that the hot air can enter the drying cylinder 1 through the air inlet hole 4 to dry the bursting beads, but also prevent the bursting beads from leaking out of the air inlet hole 4, resulting in waste of bursting beads.

[0042] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a guide plate 7, which is arranged on the inner wall of the drying cylinder 1 and is spiral-shaped. When the drying cylinder 1 rotates, the popping beads come into contact with the guide plate 7, and the spiral guide plate 7 can assist the popping beads to move between the feed port 2 and the discharge port, so that the popping beads can be heated evenly.

[0043] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, at least two copying plates 8 are provided in the drying cylinder 1, and the extending direction of the copying plates 8 and the first direction have an included angle. Specifically, the extending direction of the copying plates 8 and the first direction have an included angle of an acute angle (such as Figure 4Preferably, the number of the copying plates 8 is six, and the six copying plates 8 are arranged in two groups, each group is provided with three copying plates 8, and the three copying plates 8 are arranged on the inner wall of the drying cylinder 1 at equal intervals along the first direction.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drying cylinder 1 rotates, the blasting beads come into contact with the lifting plates 8, and the movement of the blasting beads between two adjacent lifting plates 8 can help the blasting beads flip in the air, so that the blasting beads are evenly heated by the hot air, thereby improving the drying effect.

[0045] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the hot air mechanism 5 includes: a heat pump dehumidifier, a fan and an air outlet hood 10. Among them, the heat pump dehumidifier is used to provide hot air. The fan and the heat pump dehumidifier are both provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet of the fan is connected to the air outlet of the heat pump dehumidifier. One end of the air outlet hood 10 is connected to the air outlet of the fan. The other end of the air outlet hood 10 is an air outlet 11. The hot air enters each air inlet 4 from the air outlet 11 to dry the bursting beads. Preferably, the temperature of the hot air is 40-45°C. The applicant has found through research that when the temperature is higher than 45°C, the bursting beads are prone to cracking; when the temperature is lower than 40°C, the bursting beads dry slowly. When the temperature of the hot air is 40-45°C, the dryness and wetness of the dried bursting beads just meet the process requirements.

[0046] Optionally, the drying cylinder 1, the material guide plate 7 and the lifting plate 8 are all made of stainless steel.

[0047] Optionally, the drying cylinder 1, the material guide plate 7 and the lifting plate 8 are all provided with a Teflon coating.

[0048] By adopting the above technical solution, the stainless steel material can improve the structural strength of the device and reduce the processing cost, and the Teflon coating can prevent the beads from adhering to the surface of the drying cylinder 1, causing quality defects such as decreased roundness of the beads.

[0049] The utility model discloses a burst bead drying device which uses hot air to remove excess moisture on the burst bead wall material, thereby shortening the drying time and improving the burst bead drying efficiency.

Those skilled in the art may make various changes in form and details, including making several simple deductions or substitutions, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
