[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-2 A steel ball drying device includes a drying box 1, which is rotatably mounted on a drying support 2, and a plurality of support mesh plates 3 are fixed at equal intervals inside the drying box 1.

[0023] A docking funnel 4 is provided on the left side of the supporting mesh plate 3. The docking funnel 4 is located above the supporting mesh plate 3. A material conveying branch pipe 5 is provided at the output end of the docking funnel 4. One end of the material conveying branch pipe 5 is connected to the material conveying main pipe 6. A first electric valve 7 is provided on the material conveying branch pipe 5. Several second electric valves 8 that are compatible with the first electric valve 7 are provided on the material conveying main pipe 6.

[0024] An exhaust pipe 9 is provided on the top of the drying oven 1, and several air inlets 10 are provided on its front side.

[0025] In this embodiment, the steel balls are conveyed to the corresponding support mesh plate 3 in the drying box 1 through the main conveying pipe 6 and the branch conveying pipe 5. The support mesh plate 3 can arrange the steel balls in layers to reduce stacking. At the same time, the air inlet pipe 10 can directly apply external dry hot air to the bottom of the corresponding support mesh plate 3 to achieve rapid drying of the steel balls.

[0026] Several adjusting cylinders 11 are hinged to the drying support 2, and the piston rod of the adjusting cylinder 11 is hinged to the bottom of the drying box 1; several supporting plates 12 are vertically upward on the drying support 2, and the body of the drying box 1 is hinged to the supporting plates 12.

[0027] In this embodiment, the tilt angle of the drying chamber 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the cylinder 11, thereby facilitating the feeding and discharging operations.

[0028] The output end of the air inlet pipe 10 is located below the support mesh plate 3, and the input end of the air inlet pipe 10 is connected to the air supply pipe 13, and the input end of the air supply pipe 13 is connected to the external air drying heater.

[0029] In this embodiment, the air inlet pipe 10 can directly apply dry hot air to the area below the support mesh plate 3 and blow it onto the corresponding steel balls, thereby achieving rapid drying of the steel balls.

[0030] A stirring motor 20 is vertically installed at the bottom of the drying chamber 1. A stirring rod 22 is fixed on the rotor of the stirring motor 20. The stirring rod 22 extends upward to the top of the drying chamber 1. Several stirring blades 23 are distributed on the stirring rod 22.

[0031] In this embodiment, the stirring motor 20 drives the stirring fan blade 23 to rotate. The rotation makes the steel ball contact the dry hot air more evenly, thereby further improving the drying efficiency.

[0032] A drain pipe 14 is provided at the bottom of the drying oven 1, and a third electric valve 15 is provided on the drain pipe 14.

[0033] In this embodiment, wastewater accumulated at the bottom of the drying chamber 1 can be discharged through the drain pipe 14.

In this embodiment, the rubber buffer plate 19 can provide a buffering force during material discharge, thereby protecting the steel ball.

[0035] Working principle: Adjusting cylinder 11 moves downward, tilting the drying box 1 to the right. With the cooperation of several first electric valves 7 and second electric valves 8, steel balls are injected into the corresponding support mesh plates 3 through the main conveying pipe 6 and the branch conveying pipes 5.

[0036] After the material is fed, the drying chamber 1 is reset by adjusting the cylinder 11. The hot dry air is delivered through the air pipe 13 and the air inlet pipe 10 to the steel balls on the corresponding support mesh plate 3 to dry the steel balls. During the drying process, the steel balls are stirred by the stirring fan blade 23 to make them more fully contacted with the hot dry air.

[0037] During the drying process, the steam at the top of the drying chamber 1 can be discharged in time through the exhaust pipe 9. After drying is completed, the adjusting cylinder 11 moves upward to tilt the drying chamber 1 to the left, opening all the second electric valves 8 and opening the corresponding first electric valves 7 in sequence to discharge the steel balls from the drying chamber 1.

[0038] When the steel ball falls to the discharge port 16, it will come into contact with the rubber buffer plate 19 on the left side to cushion the impact and prevent damage to the steel ball.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
