[0022] This disclosure aims to address the problem that current kiln and rotary dryer systems require material to be conveyed into the kiln or rotary dryer cylinder, while simultaneously requiring the extraction of carrier gas generated within the kiln or rotary dryer, which may contain entrained powder. Existing equipment cannot simultaneously meet these process requirements. Therefore, this disclosure proposes a screw conveyor capable of material conveying, carrier gas circulation, and material return. By incorporating conveying and infeed / outfeed components, the conveyor can simultaneously transport material and, through an internal screw conveyor within the shaft tube, carry carrier gas out. During the rotation of the screw conveyor shaft tube, the external screw conveyor transports material, while carrier gas circulates within the shaft tube. The internal screw conveyor returns any dust entrained in the carrier gas to the inside of the cylinder. This achieves the simultaneous conveying of material into the kiln or rotary dryer cylinder, extraction of carrier gas generated within the kiln or rotary dryer, and separation of powder from the carrier gas.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a screw conveyor capable of material conveying, carrier gas circulation, and material return includes a cylinder 1, a hanging support 2, end plates 3, and a shell 4. The hanging support 2 is installed inside the cylinder 1, and the end plates 3 are installed on the side of the cylinder 1. The shell 4 is installed between the end plates 3. It also includes a support assembly, a conveying assembly, an infeed / discharge assembly, and a sealing assembly. The support assembly is installed at the bottom of the shell 4 and supports the shell 4. The conveying assembly is installed inside the shell 4 and conveys the material while simultaneously drawing out the carrier gas generated in the kiln or rotary dryer. The infeed / discharge assembly is located on the shell 4 and allows material to enter or exit the screw conveyor. The sealing assembly is installed inside the shell 4 and seals the material to prevent mixing with the carrier gas.
[0024] By setting up conveying components and feeding / discharging components, the material is conveyed while the inner screw belt 69 inside the shaft tube 65 drives the carrier gas out. During the rotation of the screw conveyor shaft tube 65, the outer screw belt 66 can convey the material, the carrier gas can circulate inside the shaft tube 65, and the inner screw belt 69 can return the dust entrained in the carrier gas to the inside of the cylinder 1. Thus, the material is conveyed to the kiln and rotary dryer cylinder 1, while the carrier gas generated in the kiln and rotary dryer is drawn out and the powder in the carrier gas is separated.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the transmission assembly includes a motor 61, a reducer 62, a transmission end shaft head 63, a first connecting plate 64, a shaft tube 65, an outer threaded ribbon 66, a non-transmission end shaft head 67, a second connecting plate 68, and an inner threaded ribbon 69. The reducer 62 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 61. The transmission end shaft head 63 is mounted on the other end of the reducer 62 via a coupling. The first connecting plate 64 is mounted on the end of the transmission end shaft head 63. The shaft tube 65 is mounted on the first connecting plate 64. The outer threaded ribbon 66 is mounted in an array around the shaft tube 65. The non-transmission end shaft head 67 is mounted on the other end of the shaft tube 65. The second connecting plate 68 is installed between the non-transmission end shaft head 67 and the shaft tube 65. The inner threaded ribbon 69 is installed inside the shaft tube 65.
[0026] During operation, the motor 61 rotates, driving the reducer 62 to rotate. The reducer 62 lowers the rotation speed, and drives the transmission end shaft 63 to rotate. Due to the fixation of the first connecting plate 64, the rotation of the transmission end shaft 63 drives the shaft tube 65 to rotate. The rotating shaft tube 65 drives the outer helical belt 66 to rotate. The rotating outer helical belt 66 causes the material entering from the material inlet 71 to fall from the material outlet 72, thus completing the material conveying work. At the same time, due to the rotation of the shaft tube 65, the inner helical belt 69 also begins to rotate. During the flow of the carrier gas, the dust entrained in the carrier gas can be returned to the inside of the cylinder 1.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the support assembly includes a transmission bracket 51, a first bolt bracket 52, and a second bolt bracket 53. The transmission bracket 51 is installed below the reducer 62 and is used to fix the reducer 62 and the motor 61. The first bolt bracket 52 and the second bolt bracket 53 are installed at the bottom of the outer casing 4 and are used to fix the outer casing 4.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the feeding and discharging assembly includes a material inlet 71, a material outlet 72, a carrier gas inlet 73, a carrier gas outlet 74, and a slag discharge port 75. The material inlet 71 is located at the upper end of the outer shell 4, and the material outlet 72 is located at the lower end of the outer shell 4. The carrier gas inlet 73 is located in the gap between the non-transmission end shaft head 67 and the shaft tube 65. The carrier gas outlet 74 is located above the outer shell 4 and to the right of the material inlet 71. The slag discharge port 75 is located below the outer shell 4 and directly below the carrier gas outlet 74. The material inlet 71 is used to put in materials, the material outlet 72 is used to discharge materials, the carrier gas inlet 73 is used to supply carrier gas, and the carrier gas outlet 74 is used to discharge carrier gas. Since the slag discharge port 75 is directly below the carrier gas outlet 74, the residual slag in the carrier gas can be discharged from the slag discharge port 75 under the action of gravity during the discharge of carrier gas.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sealing assembly is located between the material outlet 72 and the carrier gas outlet 74. The sealing assembly includes a connecting flange 81, a connecting fastener 82, and a sealing partition 83. The sealing partition 83 is installed inside the outer casing 4. There are two sealing partitions 83, and the connecting flange 81 is installed between the two sealing partitions 83. The sealing partition 83 and the connecting flange 81 are fixed by the connecting fastener 82. A shaft tube 65 is installed in the middle of the connecting flange 81. The sealing partition 83 and the connecting flange 81 achieve the sealing of the material and the carrier gas, avoiding the mixing of the material and the carrier gas during the material transportation process.
[0030] The overall working process is as follows: the motor 61 rotates, driving the reducer 62 to rotate. The reducer 62 reduces the rotation speed, and the reducer 62 drives the transmission end shaft 63 to rotate. Due to the fixation of the first connecting plate 64, the rotation of the transmission end shaft 63 drives the shaft tube 65 to rotate. The rotating shaft tube 65 drives the outer screw belt 66 to rotate. The rotating outer screw belt 66 drives the material entering from the material inlet 71 to fall from the material outlet 72, thus completing the material conveying work. At the same time, due to the rotation of the shaft tube 65, the inner screw belt 69 also begins to rotate. During the flow of the carrier gas, the dust entrained in the carrier gas can be returned to the inside of the cylinder 1.
[0031] Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
