[0030] In order to solve the technical problems in the background technology, a drying device for anhydrous sodium sulfate crystallization is provided as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a drying device for anhydrous sodium sulfate crystallization, including a conveying mechanism 3 and a drying mechanism 4, the drying mechanism 4 is arranged in the middle of the conveying mechanism 3, the drying mechanism 4 is rotatably connected to the conveying mechanism 3, the outer sides of the drying mechanism 4 are provided with a driving mechanism 2, the outer side of the middle of the drying mechanism 4 is provided with an auxiliary drying mechanism 5 for auxiliary drying, the outer sides of the driving mechanism 2, the conveying mechanism 3, and the auxiliary drying mechanism 5 are all provided with a support frame 1 for supporting and fixing; the conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveying cylinder 31, a conveying leaf 32 and an air guide hole 33, the conveying cylinder 31 Located outside the drying mechanism 4, a conveying blade 32 is provided inside the conveying cylinder 31. The conveying blade 32 is spiral-shaped and slides in contact with the outside of the drying mechanism 4. Air guide holes 33 are opened on the outside of the conveying cylinder 31, and multiple groups of air guide holes 33 are distributed in a ring. The conveying blade 32 provided inside the conveying cylinder 31 can continuously convey the anhydrous sodium sulfate to be dried when the conveying cylinder 31 rotates. The provision of the air guide holes 33 facilitates the precipitation of moisture from the anhydrous sodium sulfate from the conveying cylinder 31 when the drying mechanism 4 dries the anhydrous sodium sulfate inside the conveying cylinder 31.

[0031] In this embodiment, a feed baffle 6 and a discharge baffle 7 are fixedly provided on the outer sides of both ends of the drying mechanism 4. A feed pipe 61 is provided on the top of the feed baffle 6, and a discharge port 71 is formed between the bottom of the discharge baffle 7 and the conveying cylinder 31. The arrangement of the feed pipe 61 and the discharge port 71 facilitates the discharge of the anhydrous sodium sulfate in the conveying cylinder 31 from the device below the spiral blade after drying.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above-mentioned embodiment, the driving mechanism 2 further includes a driving ring 21, a motor 22 and a driving wheel 23. The motor 22 is provided on the side of the driving ring 21, and the output end of the motor 22 is provided with a driving wheel 23.

[0033] In this embodiment, the spiral conveying blade 32 provided inside the conveying cylinder 31 can continuously move the anhydrous sodium sulfate to be dried in contact with the drying mechanism 4, and can continuously move outside the drying mechanism 4. When the conveying cylinder 31 moves to convey the anhydrous sodium sulfate for drying, one end of the conveying cylinder 31 can continuously add the anhydrous sodium sulfate to be dried, and the other end of the conveying cylinder 31 will continuously discharge the dried anhydrous sodium sulfate, thereby facilitating the continuous drying process of the anhydrous sodium sulfate by the drying device.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, in order to make, this embodiment provides the following design:

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, the drying mechanism 4 includes a drying cylinder 41, an air dryer 42, an air supply pipe 43, an air distribution pipe 44, an air guide cylinder 45 and a drying hole 46. The air dryers 42 are provided at both ends of the drying cylinder 41. The air outlet end of the air dryer 42 is provided with an air supply pipe 43. The air distribution pipe 44 is provided on the outside of the air supply pipe 43. The air guide cylinder 45 is provided on the inside of the drying cylinder 41. The air guide cylinder 45 is provided with sealing convex edges at both ends. The sealing convex edges are fixed to the inside of the drying cylinder 41. The air guide cylinder 45 is fixed to the drying cylinder 41. An air guide cavity is formed between the cylinders 41. Drying holes 46 are formed on the outside of the drying cylinder 41. The drying holes 46 are connected to the air guide cavity. There are multiple groups of drying holes 46 arranged in a circle. The air dryer 42 can dry the air and send it into the air supply pipe 43. The air guide cavity formed by the air guide cylinder 45 and the drying cylinder 41 facilitates the collection of dry air, which is then diverted through the drying holes 46 and sent into the interior of the conveying cylinder 31 to contact with the anhydrous sodium sulfate. This is conducive to improving the uniform drying of the anhydrous sodium sulfate by the dry air discharged by the drying mechanism 4.

[0036] As an improvement to the above solution, the air distribution pipes 44 are arranged in a circular arrangement outside the air supply pipe 43. Multiple groups of air distribution pipes 44 are provided at equal intervals outside the air supply pipe 43. The multiple groups of air distribution pipes 44 arranged in a circular arrangement can evenly deliver the dry air into the air guide cylinder 45, which helps the air guide cylinder 45 evenly eject the dry air from the drying holes 46.

[0037] In this embodiment, heating rods 47 are provided between the air distribution pipes 44, and multiple groups of heating rods 47 are provided inside the drying cylinder 41. The provision of the heating rods 47 can heat the dry air, thereby improving the drying effect of the dry air on the anhydrous sodium sulfate. At the same time, the heating rods 47 can increase the temperature of the drying cylinder 41, so that the drying cylinder 41 itself can achieve a certain degree of drying effect on the anhydrous sodium sulfate.

[0038] In order to further improve the uniformity of the drying of anhydrous sodium sulfate inside the conveying cylinder 31, the present embodiment provides the following structure: the auxiliary drying mechanism 5 includes an auxiliary drying ring 51, an auxiliary drying box 52 and a second heating rod 53. The auxiliary drying ring 51 is fixedly arranged at the top of the support frame 1. The auxiliary drying box 52 is provided on the inner side of the auxiliary drying ring 51. The side of the auxiliary drying box 52 in contact with the conveying cylinder 31 is provided with a drying port, and a second heating rod 53 is provided inside the auxiliary drying box 52. The auxiliary drying box 52 provided in the auxiliary drying mechanism 5 can heat the conveying cylinder 31 under the action of the second heating rod 53, so that the conveying cylinder 31 can evaporate the moisture in the anhydrous sodium sulfate, which is conducive to further ensuring that the anhydrous sodium sulfate inside the conveying cylinder 31 is evenly dried.

[0039] As an improvement to the above scheme, the auxiliary drying boxes 52 are distributed in a ring on the inner side of the auxiliary drying ring 51, and the second heating rod 53 is set corresponding to the auxiliary drying boxes 52; the auxiliary drying boxes 52 distributed in a ring can uniformly heat the conveying cylinder 31 through the second heating rod 53, which is convenient for controlling the drying temperature of the conveying cylinder 31 for anhydrous sodium sulfate.

[0040] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0041] When using:

[0042] First, the anhydrous sodium sulfate to be dried is fed into the conveying cylinder 31 through the feed pipe 61. Then, the motor 22 in the drive mechanism 2 drives the drive wheel 23 to rotate, driving the conveying cylinder 31 to rotate outside the drying cylinder 41 in the drying mechanism 4. When the conveying cylinder 31 rotates, the spiral conveying blades 32 inside the conveying cylinder 31 continuously convey the anhydrous sodium sulfate.

[0043] Then, when the anhydrous sodium sulfate passes through the outside of the drying cylinder 41, the air dryer 42 dries the air and sends it into the air guide cavity formed by the air guide cylinder 45. At this time, the heating rod 1 47 heats the dry air, so that the heated dry air is evenly sent into the interior of the conveying cylinder 31 through the drying hole 46 to contact with the anhydrous sodium sulfate. At this time, the dry air absorbs the moisture in the anhydrous sodium sulfate. Under the continuous delivery of the dry air, the air with the moisture of the anhydrous sodium sulfate is discharged from the air guide hole 33 opened on the outside of the conveying cylinder 31. At the same time, the heating rod 2 53 in the auxiliary drying mechanism 5 heats the conveying cylinder 31, raising the temperature of the conveying cylinder 31, so that the anhydrous sodium sulfate inside the conveying cylinder 31 is more evenly heated and dried.

[0044] Anhydrous sodium sulfate will continue to dry during the transportation process and eventually be discharged from the device through the discharge port 71. The feed pipe 61 can continuously add anhydrous sodium sulfate that needs to be dried, thereby realizing continuous drying of anhydrous sodium sulfate by the drying device.
