Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, and specifically discloses a drying device for semi-finished ceramsite. Background Technology
[0002] Expanded clay aggregate, as the name suggests, is ceramic-like granules. It is a man-made lightweight aggregate made from raw materials such as shale, marine clay, mudstone, fly ash, and coal gangue, which are processed into pellets and then fired to expand. Semi-finished expanded clay aggregate consists of small particles made from ceramic raw materials through a series of processes.
[0003] Because the ceramsite is small and piled up, existing ceramsite semi-finished product drying equipment cannot thoroughly and completely dry the ceramsite. Furthermore, existing equipment requires manual feeding and unloading, and cannot achieve automatic operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] A semi-finished ceramsite drying device includes a drying cylinder, a conveying cylinder, and a feeding trough. Support legs are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the drying cylinder. A housing is fixed to the right side of the drying cylinder, with ventilation openings on the outer wall of the housing. A drying mechanism is installed inside the housing. A cover is fixed to the left side of the drying cylinder, and a motor is fixed inside the cover. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the center of the drying cylinder. The output shaft of the motor is fixed to the rotating shaft, and spiral pusher blades are fixed to the rotating shaft. A conveying cylinder is fixed to the top of the drying cylinder via a support base, and a feeding trough is fixed to the top of the conveying cylinder via a support base.
[0006] Furthermore, a cover is fixedly connected to the right side of the conveying cylinder, a motor is fixedly connected inside the cover, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the center of the conveying cylinder, the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and a spiral pushing blade is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.
[0007] Furthermore, the drying mechanism includes a fan, electric heating elements, and a filter screen. The fan is fixedly connected inside the casing. Several electric heating elements are uniformly fixedly connected inside the casing. The electric heating elements are located on the left side of the fan. A filter screen is fixedly connected inside the casing. The filter screen is located in front of the electric heating elements.

[0010] Furthermore, several drying holes are evenly distributed on the front and rear circumferences of the feeding cylinder.
[0011] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known public technology: by starting the motor, the rotating shaft is rotated, thereby driving the rotation of the spiral pusher blades, realizing the up and down movement of the ceramsite in the conveying cylinder, and preventing the ceramsite from clumping; by starting the fan and hot air pipe, hot air is blown into the drying cylinder, which, together with the spiral pusher blades, achieves the comprehensive drying of the ceramsite; by setting the conveying cylinder, the device can move on its own, and only the operator needs to pour the semi-finished ceramsite into the feeding trough.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a drying device for semi-finished ceramsite, including a drying cylinder 1, a conveying cylinder 2, and a feeding trough 3. Support legs 11 are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the drying cylinder 1. A housing 12 is fixed to the right side of the drying cylinder 1. A ventilation opening is provided on the outer wall of the housing 12. A drying mechanism 13 is provided inside the housing 12. A cover 21 is fixed to the left side of the drying cylinder 1. A motor 22 is fixed inside the cover 21. A rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the center of the drying cylinder 1. The output shaft of the motor 22 is fixed to the rotating shaft 23. A spiral pushing blade 24 is fixed to the rotating shaft 23. The conveying cylinder 2 is fixed to the top of the drying cylinder 1 through a support seat 25. The feeding trough 3 is fixed to the top of the conveying cylinder 2 through the support seat 25.
[0019] Preferably, a cover 21 is fixedly connected to the right side of the feed cylinder 2, a motor 22 is fixedly connected inside the cover 21, a rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the center of the feed cylinder 2, the output shaft of the motor 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 23, and a spiral pusher blade 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 23.
[0020] By starting the motor 22, the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 22 will drive the spiral pusher blades 24 to push the ceramsite forward. During the process of pushing the ceramsite, the clumps of ceramsite will rotate up and down, and the clumps of ceramsite will be dispersed and transported into the drying drum 1.
[0021] Preferably, the drying mechanism 13 includes a fan 14, an electric heating element 15, and a filter screen 16. The fan 14 is fixedly connected inside the housing 12. Several electric heating elements 15 are evenly fixedly connected inside the housing 12. The electric heating elements 15 are located to the left of the fan 14. The filter screen 16 is fixedly connected inside the housing 12. The filter screen 16 is located in front of the electric heating elements 15.
[0022] By starting the fan 14 and turning on the electric heating tube 15, the fan 14 will blow the heat from the electric heating tube 15 into the drying cylinder 1. By setting the filter screen 16, the ceramsite dust can be blocked to prevent it from affecting the drying effect of the drying mechanism 13.
[0023] Preferably, the bottom of the drying cylinder 1 is provided with a discharge port 17, and the bottom of the discharge port 17 is provided with a receiving trough 18.
[0024] By setting a receiving trough 18 at the discharge port 17, it is convenient for staff to collect the ceramsite, thus enabling the drying device to operate continuously without interruption.
[0025] Preferably, the drying cylinder 1 and the conveying cylinder 2 are connected by the mounting base 26, and the conveying cylinder 2 and the feed trough 3 are connected by the mounting base 26.
[0026] The installation base 26 is used to realize the feeding, dispersion, conveying, drying and collection of ceramsite.
[0027] Preferably, a number of air-drying holes 27 are evenly opened on the front and rear circumferences of the conveying cylinder 2.
[0028] By setting the air drying hole 27, a large amount of moisture and waste gas generated during the drying process of ceramsite will be discharged through the air drying hole 27.
[0029] One specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows:
[0030] During the drying of semi-finished ceramsite, the blower 14 and heating element 15 are started first. The rotation of the blower 14 will drive the fan blades to rotate, blowing the heat from the heating element 15 into the drying cylinder 1. Once the drying cylinder 1 maintains a constant temperature, the workers pour the ceramsite to be dried into the feed trough 3, and then start the motor 22 on the conveying cylinder 2. The rotation of the motor 22 will drive the rotating shaft 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral pusher blades 24 to rotate. During the rotation, the spiral pusher blades 24 can break up the ceramsite to prevent it from clumping and affecting the subsequent drying effect. When the ceramsite is conveyed from the conveying cylinder 2 to the drying cylinder 1, the motor 22 on the drying cylinder 1 is started. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor 22 will drive the spiral pusher blades 24 to rotate. During the rotation of the spiral pusher blades 24, the broken ceramsite will rotate up and down in the drying cylinder 1, making full contact with the hot air to achieve thorough drying of each ceramsite. After drying is completed, the workers only need to remove the ceramsite from the feed trough 3. The staff can also control the rotation speed of the motor 22, thereby controlling the pushing speed of the spiral pusher blades 24 and the degree of drying of the ceramsite.
