Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel ball processing technology, specifically a dryer suitable for steel ball processing. Background Technology

[0002] Steel ball drying is a crucial step in the production and processing of steel balls. Its main purpose is to remove moisture from the surface and interior of the steel balls to prevent rusting and maintain their quality and performance. During the drying process, temperature, drying time, and the drying environment must be strictly controlled to ensure uniform heating and prevent adverse changes in the physical properties of the steel balls due to excessively high temperatures. Steel ball dryers provide stable heat and good ventilation to effectively evaporate and remove moisture from the steel balls. Furthermore, the drying process parameters may vary depending on the specifications, materials, and applications of the steel balls. For example, for high-precision steel balls, the control of temperature and time during drying may be more stringent.

[0003] The existing technical solution has the following drawbacks: When drying steel balls, hot air circulation drying is usually used. However, after a fixed fan blows for a long time, it will cause local overheating of the steel balls. The overheated parts will cause a decrease in the rigidity of the steel balls, resulting in poor drying effect and reduced drying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a dryer suitable for steel ball processing, which has the advantage of uniform drying. It solves the problem that when drying steel balls, the usual method of hot air circulation drying is used, but after a fixed fan blows for a long time, it will cause local overheating of the steel ball. The overheated part will cause the rigidity of the steel ball to decrease, resulting in poor drying effect and reduced drying efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dryer suitable for steel ball processing, comprising a base plate, with support legs fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base plate, a housing fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a cover plate hinged to the top of the housing, an air inlet pipe on the left side of the housing, an air outlet on the rear side of the housing, a fixing plate fixedly connected inside the housing, a rotating mechanism inside the housing, and a drying assembly inside the housing.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotating mechanism includes a drive motor, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. A transmission shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The top of the transmission shaft is rotatably connected to the interior of the fixed plate. A first gear is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the transmission shaft. A second gear is meshed with the left side of the first gear. A placement ring block is fixedly connected to the top of the second gear via a round rod. A boss is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate. The placement ring block is rotatably connected to the interior of the boss. A steel ball is movably connected to the top of the placement ring block.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the drying assembly includes a fixing ring, the outer side of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe, a fan is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing ring, and two electric heating wires are provided inside the housing, with the outer side of each electric heating wire fixedly connected to the inside of the housing.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a filter screen is provided on the left side of the fan, and the right side of the filter screen is fixedly connected to the left side of the air inlet pipe by bolts.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a support frame is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the air inlet pipe, and the right side of the support frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the shell.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the ring block is provided with grooves, and the number of grooves is several, and the several grooves are distributed at equal distances.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the steel ball is movably connected to a lifting component, and the bottom of the lifting component is movably connected to the interior of the boss.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model involves placing a steel ball on top of a placement ring block, starting a drive motor, and having the output of the drive motor drive gear one, gear two, and the placement ring block to rotate via a transmission shaft, thereby rotating the steel ball. An electric heating wire is then activated to dry the steel ball. A fan is also activated to blow air onto the rotating surface of the steel ball, preventing overheating and ensuring uniform drying. This solves the problem that traditional hot air circulation drying methods for steel balls often result in localized overheating of the steel ball after prolonged use by a fixed fan. This overheating leads to a decrease in the rigidity of the steel ball, resulting in poor drying efficiency. This invention provides the advantage of uniform drying.

[0014] 2. This utility model, by setting a rotating mechanism, can be used in conjunction with the drying component. By starting the drive motor, the output end of the drive motor drives gear one, gear two, and the placement ring block to rotate through the transmission shaft, thereby driving the steel ball to rotate, which improves the drying efficiency of the steel ball.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a rotating mechanism 8, it can be used in conjunction with the drying component 9. By starting the drive motor 81, the output end of the drive motor 81 drives the gear 1 83, gear 2 84 and the placement ring block 85 to rotate through the transmission shaft 82, thereby driving the steel ball 87 to rotate, which improves the drying efficiency of the steel ball 87.

[0025] refer to Figure 3 The drying assembly 9 includes a fixing ring 91, the outer side of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 5. A fan 92 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing ring 91. An electric heating wire 93 is provided inside the housing 3. There are two electric heating wires 93, and the outer side of the electric heating wire 93 is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing 3.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a drying component 9, the electric heating wire 93 is activated to dry the steel ball 87, and the fan 92 is activated to blow on the surface of the rotating steel ball 87, so as to avoid overheating of the surface of the steel ball 87, and facilitate uniform drying and heating of the steel ball 87, thereby improving the drying effect of the steel ball 87.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up the lifting component 13, the steel ball component 87 can be lifted by the lifting component 13 after drying, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the steel ball component 87.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the steel ball 87 is placed on top of the placement ring block 85. The drive motor 81 is started, and the output end of the drive motor 81 drives the gear 1 83, gear 2 84 and placement ring block 85 to rotate through the transmission shaft 82, thereby driving the steel ball 87 to rotate. The electric heating wire 93 is started to dry the steel ball 87. The fan 92 is started to blow on the surface of the rotating steel ball 87 to prevent the surface of the steel ball 87 from overheating and to facilitate uniform drying and heating of the steel ball 87.

[0036] In summary, this dryer for steel ball processing, through the coordinated use of the base plate 1, support legs 2, shell 3, cover plate 4, air inlet pipe 5, air outlet 6, fixed plate 7, rotating mechanism 8, and drying components 9, solves the problem that when drying steel balls, the commonly used method of hot air circulation drying, however, causes localized overheating of the steel balls after prolonged blowing by a fixed fan. This overheating leads to a decrease in the rigidity of the steel balls, resulting in poor drying effect and reduced drying efficiency.
