[0018] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a kind of thermoplastic elastomer material dehydration equipment, comprising: box body 1, the inner chamber bottom of the box body 1 is respectively fixedly connected heat insulation plate 3 and heat-conducting cylinder 6, and heat-conducting cylinder 6 is located inside heat insulation plate 3, and partition plate 7 is fixedly connected between heat insulation plate 3 and heat-conducting cylinder 6, and the upper end of guide plate 9 is fixedly connected on the inner chamber top of box body 1, and the lower end of guide plate 9 is respectively fixedly connected heat insulation plate 3 and heat-conducting cylinder 6, and the lower end of the outer side of heat insulation plate 3 is fixedly connected partition plate 5, while the inner chamber bottom of box body 1 is respectively fixedly connected air pump 2 and heating box 12, the gas pipe of air pump 2 is communicated with the inner chamber of heat insulation plate 3, and heating box 12 is fixedly connected heating wire 13 in, and temperature sensor 4 is fixedly connected on the inner side of heat insulation plate 3, and main motor 11 is fixedly connected on the upper surface of box body 1, and the output shaft of main motor 11 is connected stirring shaft 8 by coupling, and the lower end of stirring shaft 8 is located in heat-conducting cylinder 6, and the upper end of stirring shaft 8 is movably connected the inner chamber top of box body 1 by bearing.

[0019] In this embodiment, the thermoplastic elastomer material containing a small amount of moisture or solvent is put into the box 1 through the feeding port, and the thermoplastic elastomer material can fall into the heat-conducting cylinder 6 under the guidance of the guide plate 9. The main motor 11 connected by electricity is started by the PLC assembly, and the output shaft of the main motor 11 drives the stirring shaft 8 to rotate through the shaft coupling. The stirring shaft 8 can uniformly stir the thermoplastic elastomer material. The air pump 2 and the electric heating wire 13 connected by electricity are started by the PLC assembly, and then the air pump 2 can input the gas at the lower end of the box 1 into the inner cavity of the heat insulation plate 3. The gas in the inner cavity of the heat insulation plate 3 spirally flows along the outer side of the heat-conducting cylinder 6, and then flows into the upper end of the box 1 through the gas outlet on the upper end of the heat insulation plate 3. The gas at the upper end of the box 1 flows into the heating box 12 through the through hole of the partition plate 5, and then flows into the lower end of the box 1 through the flow port on the side of the heating box 12. When the gas flows in the heating box 12, the electric heating wire 13 in the heating box 12 can heat the gas flowing through it. Then the air pump 2 can inject hot air into the heat insulation plate 3, so that the hot air can uniformly heat the heat-conducting cylinder 6, ensuring that the thermoplastic elastomer material in the heat-conducting cylinder 6 can be uniformly heated, improving the drying efficiency. The temperature sensor 4 fixedly connected in the heat insulation plate 3 can detect the temperature of the hot air in real time and transmit the data to the PLC assembly connected by electricity. When the temperature data of the hot air reaches the preset value in the PLC assembly, the PLC assembly will turn off the electric heating wire 13. When the temperature data of the hot air is less than the preset range, the PLC assembly will restart the electric heating wire 13, so as to ensure the relative temperature of the heating temperature in the device, and then ensure the quality of the thermoplastic elastomer material after dehydration. The water vapor generated in the heat-conducting cylinder 6 due to heating will be quickly discharged from the box 1 through the feeding port along the arc surface of the auxiliary plate 10, thereby improving the overall drying efficiency of the device. Finally, the valve of the discharge pipe at the lower end of the box 1 is opened, so that the thermoplastic elastomer material can be smoothly discharged.

[0021] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The partition plate 7 is arranged so that the hot air flow can flow along a specific path along the outer side of the heat-conducting cylinder 6, and then the heat-conducting cylinder 6 can uniformly heat the thermoplastic elastomer material filled in it.

[0022] As a preferred implementation, the heat insulation plate 3 is in a cylindrical structure, the inner arc surface of the heat insulation plate 3 is attached to the outer side surface of the partition plate 7, and the lower end of the side surface of the heat insulation plate 3 is provided with an air inlet, and the upper end of the side surface of the heat insulation plate 3 is provided with an air outlet.

[0023] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the heat insulation plate 3 is provided, which can enhance the sealing of the air flow channel formed between the heat insulation plate 3, the partition plate 7 and the heat conduction cylinder 6, and also effectively reduce the efficiency of heat transfer of the hot air flow to the side away from the heat conduction cylinder 6, thereby assisting to enhance the heating effect of the hot air flow on the heat conduction cylinder 6.

[0024] As a preferred implementation, the guide plate 9 is in a hollow circular truncated cone structure, and four groups of feed inlets are provided at the top of the inner cavity of the box 1 in a circumferential direction at equal intervals relative to the inclined surface of the guide plate 9, and the auxiliary plate 10 fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the box 1 is in a circular structure, and the lower surface of the auxiliary plate 10 is in a spherical surface protrusion.

[0025] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the structure of the guide plate 9 is provided, which can effectively improve the efficiency of the thermoplastic elastomer material falling into the heat conduction cylinder 6, and can successfully divide the inner cavity of the box 1 into a closed heating cavity and a connected charging and exhausting cavity, and the provision of the auxiliary plate 10 can guide the water vapor to flow quickly to the feed inlet, improve the efficiency of the water vapor leaving the box 1, reduce the probability of increasing the humidity inside the box 1, and assist in reducing the difficulty of the device in dehydrating the thermoplastic elastomer material.

[0026] As a preferred implementation, the partition plate 5 is in a circular ring structure, the inner arc surface of the partition plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the heat insulation plate 3, and the outer arc surface of the partition plate 5 is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the box 1, and the through hole provided on the surface of the partition plate 5 is in a square structure.

[0027] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the provision of the partition plate 5 allows the closed heating cavity inside the box 1 to be divided into two spaces that are in communication with each other, thereby assisting to enhance the effect of the air flow circulating inside the box 1, and assisting to improve the heating effect of the air flow.

[0028] As a preferred implementation, the heating box 12 is in a rectangular structure, the cross section of the heating box 12 is in a U-shaped structure, the size of the opening on the upper surface of the heating box 12 is greater than the size of the through hole, the lower end of the side surface of the heating box 12 is provided with a flow passage, and the flow passage is in a rectangular structure.

[0029] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3The structure of the heating box 12 ensures that the airflow passes through the interior of the heating box 12 as it flows toward the air pump 2. This facilitates the heating of the airflow by the heating wire 13 installed inside the heating box 12, thereby ensuring the heating effect of the hot airflow on the heat-conducting cylinder 6.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, four sets of heating wires 13 are fixedly connected at equal intervals along the vertical direction inside the heating box 12, and all four sets of heating wires 13 have an S-shaped structure, while adjacent heating wires 13 are staggered.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The positional distribution of the heating wire 13 can effectively increase the contact area between the airflow flowing inside the heating box 12 and the heating wire 13, thereby helping to enhance the heating efficiency of the heating wire 13 on the airflow. This ensures that the air pump 2 can inject a relatively uniform airflow into the heat insulation plate 3, ensuring the uniformity of heating of the thermoplastic elastomer material by the heat-conducting cylinder 6, and ensuring the quality of the thermoplastic elastomer material after dehydration.

[0032] This utility model's thermoplastic elastomer material dehydration equipment, through the cooperation of a heat-conducting cylinder 6, a partition plate 7, a heat insulation plate 3, an air pump 2, and an electric heating wire 13, enables the thermoplastic elastomer material inside the heat-conducting cylinder 6 to be uniformly heated and dried from all directions, thereby effectively enhancing the quality of the dehydrated thermoplastic elastomer material and improving the dehydration efficiency of the equipment. Furthermore, through the cooperation of a guide plate 9, an auxiliary plate 10, and a feed inlet, the efficiency of water vapor discharge from the chamber 1 can be improved, reducing the difficulty of dehydrating the thermoplastic elastomer material. Meanwhile, the PLC component is a common brand and model available on the market.
