[0042] In order to make the technical problems to be solved, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, a detailed description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a drying device for a dry ball mill, comprising a hopper 100, a feeding mechanism 200, and a drying mechanism 300, wherein the hopper 100 is used to store powder. The feeding mechanism 200 comprises a feeding pipe 210, the first end of which is connected to the hopper 100, and a feeding auger is provided in the feeding pipe 210. The auger has a spiral blade and a rotating shaft passing through the blade, and bearings are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the feeding pipe. The drying mechanism 300 comprises a drying pipe 310, the first end of which is connected to the second end of the feeding pipe 210, and the second end of the drying pipe 310 is connected to the hopper 100, a drying auger is provided in the drying pipe 310, and a heating unit 320 is provided outside the drying pipe 310. The hopper 100 is also connected to a feeding mechanism.

[0044] In this application, powder is added to hopper 100. Under the action of the feed auger, the powder flows along feed pipe 210 into drying pipe 310. After being heated by heating unit 320, it returns to hopper 100 to complete a cycle. After a preset number of cycles or time, the feed auger is turned off, and a feeding mechanism feeds the dried powder in hopper 100 into the ball mill. The feeding mechanism uses existing technology. The number of cycles and time are determined by the moisture content of the powder and the grinding requirements.

[0045] In the present application, a circulation system is formed by using a hopper 100, a feeding mechanism 200 and a drying mechanism 300, so that the powder is continuously circulated in the circulation system. On the one hand, it saves space and avoids a large floor area. On the other hand, the powder is constantly turned during the circulation, which can speed up the drying speed and improve the uniformity of the drying.

[0046] Furthermore, the drying device for the dry ball mill further includes a frame 400 , and the hopper 100 is disposed below the frame 400 , and the hopper 100 is located on one side of the frame 400 . In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of drying ducts 310 are provided, and the plurality of drying ducts 310 are arranged along the vertical direction of the rack 400, and the axial arrangement of the plurality of drying ducts 310 is transversely arranged. The first end of the drying duct 310 located at the top is connected to the feed duct 210, and the second end of the drying duct 310 located at the bottom is connected to the hopper 100. A transition duct 220 is provided on the drying duct 310 located between the top and bottom drying ducts 310, and the transition duct 220 is provided at the end of the upper layer of drying duct 310, and the starting end of the lower layer of drying duct 310 is located at the lower end of the transition duct 220, so that an S-shaped transport path is formed between the plurality of drying ducts 310 and the transition duct 220.

The first end of the overflow pipe 610 is connected to the second end of the guide pipe 510, and the second end of the overflow pipe 610 is connected to the hopper 100. In the present application, the overflow pipe 610 is used to relieve the pressure of the drying pipe 310. When the drying pipe 310 is overloaded, the powder enters the overflow pipe 610 from the guide pipe 510 to prevent the drying pipe 310 from being blocked.

[0049] In this application, the guide pipe 510 is arranged above the frame 400, and the hopper 100 and the guide pipe 510 are respectively located on both sides of the frame 400, ensuring that the feeding pipe 210 is in an inclined posture, which can effectively prevent the feeding auger from slipping when transporting the powder.

[0050] Preferably, the heating unit 320 is a heating belt, which is wound around the outer surface of the drying duct 310 .

The first universal joint 733 is introduced into the first transmission assembly 730. The first universal joint 733 eliminates the need for the rotating shaft of the second bevel gear 732 and the worm of the first worm gear unit 734 to be on the same straight line during transmission, thereby enabling the drive mechanism 700 of the present application to be adjusted according to the position of the transmission box 800 and the position of the feed auger, thereby reducing the overall volume of the device.

When the second end of the dual-output reducer 720 outputs power, the worm wheel of the second worm gear unit 742 is driven by the second universal joint 741 and the worm gear of the second worm gear unit 742, thereby driving the drying auger.

[0057] A transmission gear and a transmission chain are arranged between the two drying augers in the vertical direction, and the transmission chain meshes with the transmission gear to realize sprocket transmission.
