An internal motor is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the dehydration tank. An incomplete gear is keyed to the output end of the internal motor, meshing with the transmission gear ring. Multiple heat insulation seats are fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the dehydration tank, and a heater is fixedly connected to the top of each heat insulation seat.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting guide assembly includes a connecting frame, which is welded to the top of the support frame. Multiple upper guide wheels are rotatably connected to the top inner wall of the connecting frame, and multiple lower guide wheels are rotatably connected to the bottom inner wall of the connecting frame.

[0008] Furthermore, a limit ring is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the dehydration tank has multiple feed inlets at one end and multiple discharge outlets at the other end.

[0010] Furthermore, a top cover is rotatably connected to the top of the dehydration tank.

[0011] Furthermore, a material transfer assembly is provided on one end of the outer wall of the dehydration tank. The material transfer assembly includes a fixed frame, which is fixed to the outer wall of one end of the dehydration tank by bolts. Two material transfer rollers are rotatably inserted between the inner walls on both sides of the fixed frame. One end of each material transfer roller is keyed to a transmission gear, and the two transmission gears mesh.

[0012] Furthermore, an external motor is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the fixed frame, and one end of the external motor is fixedly connected to one end of one of the material conveying rollers.

A rotating assembly 4 is provided between the multiple support wheels 3. The rotating assembly 4 includes a support ring 401, which is positioned between the multiple support wheels 3. A support frame 402 is welded between two support rings 401. The support rings 401 roll between the multiple support wheels 3, thereby supporting the support frame 402. Two connecting rings 403 are welded between the two sides of the support frame 402. Two connecting springs 404 are welded to the bottom of the support frame 402. The bottom ends of the connecting springs 404 are fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the dehydration tank 1. A transmission gear ring 405 is connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the dehydration tank 1, and an inner motor 8 is fixed to it by bolts. The output end of the inner motor 8 is keyed to an incomplete gear 9, which meshes with the transmission gear ring 405. Driven by the inner motor 8, the incomplete gear 9 rotates. When the incomplete gear 9 meshes with the transmission gear ring 405, it drives the support frame 402 to rotate. When the incomplete gear 9 does not mesh with the transmission gear ring 405, the support frame 402 is reset by the action of the connecting spring 404, which causes the consumables to swing and thus dehydrate them. Multiple heat insulation seats 6 are welded to the inner wall of the bottom of the dehydration tank 1. A heater 7 is fixed to the top of the heat insulation seat 6 by bolts. The heater 7 is used to heat and dry the consumables.

[0026] The top of the support frame 402 is provided with two sets of limiting guide components 5. The limiting guide components 5 include a connecting frame 501, which is welded to the top of the support frame 402. Multiple upper guide wheels 502 are rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the connecting frame 501, and multiple lower guide wheels 503 are rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the connecting frame 501. Consumables pass through the upper guide wheels 502 and the lower guide wheels 503 to limit the consumables.

[0027] A limit ring 10 is welded to one end of the connecting ring 403. A plurality of feed ports 11 are provided at one end of the dehydration box 1 to facilitate the entry of consumables into the dehydration box 1. A plurality of discharge holes 12 are provided at the other end of the dehydration box 1 to facilitate the discharge of dehydrated consumables from the dehydration box 1. A top cover 13 is rotatably connected to the top of the dehydration box 1.

[0028] A material transfer assembly 14 is provided on the outer wall of one end of the dehydration tank 1. The material transfer assembly 14 includes a fixed frame 1401, which is fixed to the outer wall of one end of the dehydration tank 1 by bolts. Two material transfer rollers 1402 are rotatably inserted between the inner walls of the two sides of the fixed frame 1401. One end of the material transfer roller 1402 is keyed to a transmission gear 15, and the two transmission gears 15 mesh. An external motor 1403 is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the fixed frame 1401 by bolts. One end of the external motor 1403 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the material transfer rollers 1402. The outer wall of the material transfer roller 1402 is provided with multiple material guide grooves 1404.

[0029] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, firstly, one end of the consumable is inserted into the dehydration tank 1 through the feed port 11. Then, one end of the consumable passes through the upper guide wheel 502 and the lower guide wheel 503, the support ring 401, the connecting ring 403, and the transmission gear ring 405. Next, one end of the consumable is discharged from the dehydration tank 1 through the discharge hole 12. Then, one end of the consumable passes through the two conveying rollers 1402.

[0030] When the consumables are in the dehydration tank 1, the inner motor 8 is started. Driven by the inner motor 8, the incomplete gear 9 rotates. When the incomplete gear 9 meshes with the transmission gear ring 405, it drives the support frame 402 to rotate. When the incomplete gear 9 does not mesh with the transmission gear ring 405, the support frame 402 is reset under the action of the connecting spring 404, which causes the consumables to swing and thus dehydrate them. At the same time, the heater 7 is used to heat and dry the consumables. After dehydration, the consumables are driven by the outer motor 1403 and driven by the meshing of the two transmission gears 15 to rotate the conveyor roller 1402, thereby conveying the consumables.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
