Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drying equipment, in particular to a vertical drying machine for pellets. Background Art

[0002] The recycled pellet technology primarily processes discarded pellets through crushing, mixing, and agglomeration, turning them into valuable production raw materials. The application of this technology not only solves the problem of discarded pellet disposal but also enables resource reuse, which is of great significance for promoting a circular economy and green production.

[0003] The pellets produced by the return ore pelletizing technology need to be dried before the next step can be carried out. The output of pellets is generally large, and a large dryer is required for drying. During the transportation or drying process, some pellets are broken into small pieces and cannot be used. Therefore, a vertical dryer for pellets with a vibration screening structure is proposed. The dried pellets are vibrated and screened to screen out pellets of unqualified size, which effectively saves labor costs and achieves the purpose of saving resources and integrating resources for reuse. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a vertical dryer for pellets with vibration screening.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A vertical dryer for pellets, including a platform bracket, the main points of which are: a drying straight box and a vibrating unloading mechanism are installed on the platform bracket, wherein the vibrating unloading mechanism is located below the drying straight box, a feed port is provided at the upper end of the drying straight box, and air distribution cavity plates are vertically arranged in the upper part of the drying straight box, the upper end of the air distribution cavity plate is close to the feed port of the drying straight box, and a gap is left between the lower end and the bottom of the drying straight box, an external air duct communicating with the air distribution cavity plate is provided outside the drying straight box, a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the drying straight box, and the discharge port of the drying straight box is located above the vibrating unloading mechanism. With the above structure, the pellets enter the drying box from the feed port at the upper end, and pass through the upper air distribution cavity plate and the lower gap in turn. The upper air distribution cavity plate is connected to the external air duct, and its temperature is relatively high, so that the pellets passing through here are dried to 80%. The temperature of the lower gap is relatively low, which further dries the pellets. The dried pellets fall into the vibrating discharge mechanism below for further screening, which improves the utilization rate of the pellets and saves resources.

[0006] As a preference, there are multiple drying straight boxes, which are arranged side by side, and the air distribution cavity plates are arranged inside the drying straight boxes along the width direction;

[0013] Preferably, two lower baffles are installed below the vibrating screen frame. These baffles are arranged in a mirror-image arrangement and are funnel-shaped, with their larger ends facing the outlet of the lower hopper. An upwardly inclined support rod is installed on the exterior of each baffle, with the other end of the rod mounted on a fixed bracket. With this structure, the baffles can divert unqualified pellets into the channel below, preventing them from flying outward and increasing the burden of manual collection.

[0014] Preferably, a hopper baffle is installed at the bottom of the lower hopper, which is inclined outward. A dustproof plate is connected to the outside of the hopper baffle, and the other end of the dustproof plate is sleeved on the main rod.
