DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 The embodiment provides a plastic particle dryer, which comprises a rack 1 and a horizontal drying cylinder 2 installed on the rack 1. The top and bottom of the horizontal drying cylinder 2 are respectively provided with a feeding bin 21 and a discharging bin 22. It should be noted that the automatic blocking piece 7 is arranged at the discharging bin 22, so that the plastic particles cannot leak from the discharging bin 22 during feeding and drying. After the drying work is completed, the automatic blocking piece 7 is opened, and the plastic particles fall from the discharging bin 22 and are collected.

[0023] A stirring motor 3 is installed on the rack 1. A stirring assembly 4 is rotatably connected in the horizontal drying cylinder 2. The stirring assembly 4 comprises a hollow stirring shaft 41 which is in transmission connection with the stirring motor 3. A pulley 81 is installed at the shaft end of the stirring motor 3 and the shaft end of the hollow stirring shaft 41. The two pulleys 81 are jointly covered with a belt 82. The transmission between the stirring motor 3 and the hollow stirring shaft 41 by the belt 82 and the pulley 81 can ensure stable transmission. Two first annular air guide pipes 42 are symmetrically arranged at the two sides inside the horizontal drying cylinder. The first annular air guide pipes 42 are coaxially arranged with the hollow stirring shaft 41. A communication pipe 43 is fixedly connected between the hollow stirring shaft 41 and the first annular air guide pipe 42. A plurality of drying pipes 44 are fixedly connected between the two first annular air guide pipes. Uniform exhaust micro holes 441 are formed in the peripheral wall of the drying pipes 44.

[0024] A hot air machine 5 is installed on the frame 1 for supplying hot air into the hollow stirring shaft 41. The hot air machine 5 blows hot air into the hollow stirring shaft 41 and supplies the hot air into the drying pipe 44 through the communicating pipe 43 and the first annular air guide pipe 42, and finally the heat is uniformly transferred to the plastic particles through the exhaust micro-holes 441. Further, a support frame 61 is fixed on the frame 1, and a gas rotary joint 62 is installed on the top of the support frame 61. One end of the gas rotary joint 62 is fixedly connected with the hollow stirring shaft 41 and in communication, and the other end is in communication with the outlet pipe of the hot air machine 5. The gas rotary joint 62 is installed because the hollow stirring shaft 41 is rotating, while the hot air machine 5 is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The gas rotary joint 62 ensures that the hot air machine 5 can still supply hot air to the hollow stirring shaft 41 in a sealed manner when the hollow stirring shaft 41 is rotating.

[0025] The specific use scenarios are further introduced below. When feeding, the discharge bin 22 is closed first, then the plastic particles to be dried are fed into the horizontal drying cylinder 2 from the feeding bin 21, and then the stirring motor 3 and the hot air machine 5 are started. The stirring motor 3 drives the stirring assembly 4 to rotate as a whole, and then the plastic particles are stirred by the drying pipe 44 to make the plastic particles mix fully. At the same time, the hot air machine 5 supplies hot air into the hollow stirring shaft 41 and then into the drying pipe 44 through the communicating pipe 43 and the first annular air guide pipe 42, and the heat is discharged through the exhaust micro-holes 441 of the drying pipe 44. Since there are multiple drying pipes 44, and the exhaust micro-holes 441 on the drying pipe 44 are densely and uniformly distributed, the plastic particles can be uniformly heated, and the uniformity of the heating of the plastic particles is improved. Since the supply of hot air to the plastic particles is more uniform, and the plastic particles are stirred by the drying pipe 44 at all times, the drying efficiency of the plastic particles can be effectively improved. After drying, the discharge bin 22 is opened to collect the dried plastic particles.

[0026] Overall, the stirring motor 3 drives the stirring assembly 4 to rotate as a whole to mix the plastic particles, and at the same time, the hot air machine 5, the hollow stirring shaft 41, the first annular air guide pipe 42, the communicating pipe 43, the drying pipe 44, and the exhaust micro-holes 441 supply hot air uniformly to the plastic particles, thereby effectively improving the overall drying efficiency of the plastic particles.

[0031] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As a specific embodiment of the present application, an automatic blocking piece 7 is installed at the discharge bin 22, the automatic blocking piece 7 includes a lifting motor 71, a lead screw 72, a light rod 73, and a blocking strip 74, the blocking surface 741 of the blocking strip 74 is a curved surface, the radius of the curved surface is the same as the radius of the inner wall of the horizontal drying cylinder 2, the shaft end of the lifting motor 71 is fixedly connected with the lead screw 72, the lead screw 72 is threadedly connected with the blocking strip 74, and the blocking strip 74 is slidingly connected with the light rod 73.

[0032] In combination with the specific use scene, before feeding from the feeding bin 21, the lifting motor 71 is controlled to rotate, the lifting motor 71, the lead screw 72, the light rod 73, and the blocking strip 74 are cooperated to drive the blocking strip 74 to rise, and then the blocking strip 74 is used to block the discharge port at the bottom of the horizontal drying cylinder 2 at the discharge bin 22, so that the plastic particles cannot fall from the discharge bin 22; after the drying work of the plastic particles is completed, the lifting motor 71 is controlled to reverse, the blocking strip 74 is driven to descend, the discharge port is exposed, and then the dried plastic particles fall from the discharge port, and the staff can collect the dried plastic particles at the discharge bin 22.

[0033] It is apparent for those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, but can be implemented in other concrete forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and all changes falling within the meaning and range of equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be embraced in the present application.
