An air inlet pipe is connected to one side of the outer wall of the drying drum. A heater is provided at the air inlet end of the air inlet pipe. An air outlet pipe is provided at the end of the outer wall of the drying drum away from the air inlet pipe.

[0008] As an improved technical solution, the upper end of the drying drum has a feed inlet with the same length and width as the inner wall of the dispersion box, and the driven wheel and the driving wheel are connected by a transmission belt.

[0009] As an improved technical solution, the upper end of the first bevel gear is rotatably connected to the fixed plate, the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear mesh with each other, the second bevel gear and the third bevel gear mesh with each other, the second bevel gear and the fixed plate are rotatably connected, the upper end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the first bevel gear, the third bevel gear is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod, the lower end of the third bevel gear is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sleeve rod, and the sleeve rod is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod.

[0010] As an improved technical solution, the second dispersion disk and the second dispersion disk are fixedly connected by a connecting rod, and the first dispersion disk and the second dispersion disk located at the upper end of the first dispersion disk are fixedly connected by a connecting rod.

The first and second dispersion rods break up the smaller metal powder pieces that fall onto the upper part of the second dispersion plate. The broken metal powder pieces fall through the fine holes to the upper part of the lower part of the second dispersion plate for further dispersion. The process of breaking up the metal powder pieces during drying increases the contact area between the metal powder and the drying medium, thereby accelerating the evaporation of moisture. After the powder is broken up, the moisture inside it is easier to diffuse to the surface and exchange heat with the drying medium, thus shortening the drying time and improving the drying efficiency.

[0026] The upper end of the drying drum 1 has a feed inlet with the same length and width as the inner wall of the dispersion box 301. The driven wheel 306 and the driving wheel 304 are connected by a transmission belt 307.

The lower ends of the first dispersing rod 314 and the second dispersing rod 315 are in contact with the upper ends of the first dispersing disc 4 and the second dispersing disc 5. The first dispersing disc 4 and the second dispersing disc 5 are movably inserted into the inner wall of the drying barrel 1.

[0030] The first dispersing rod 314 and the second dispersing rod 315 are respectively staggered.

[0031] A guide plate 10 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the drying barrel 1 at the lower end of the first dispersing disc 4. The lower end of the drying barrel 1 is provided with a discharge port 11 that is connected to the bottom of the guide plate 10. The guide plate 10 is shaped like a frustum.

[0032] The heater 8 is started, and air is pumped into the air inlet of the air inlet pipe 7. The gas is heated by the heater 8 and enters the drying drum 1. The motor 302 is started to drive the spiral blades 303 to rotate, and the metal powder to be dried is put into the dispersion box 301. The spiral blades 303 are spiral-shaped. The metal powder entering the dispersion box 301 is initially dispersed by the spiral blades 303. Large metal powder clumps that are stuck together are broken into smaller metal powder clumps. Then the metal powder enters the drying drum 1 through the feed port at the top of the drying drum 1 and first falls onto the second dispersion disc 5 located at the top of the outer wall of the sleeve 311. The motor 302 is started to rotate. During startup, the rotation of the spiral blade 303 drives the drive wheel 304 to rotate. The drive wheel 304 drives the driven wheel 306 to rotate via the transmission belt 307. The second bevel gear 310 rotates along with the driven wheel 306. The second bevel gear 310 drives the first bevel gear 308 and the third bevel gear 312 to rotate. The first bevel gear 308 and the third bevel gear 312 are symmetrical about the second bevel gear 310, so the first bevel gear 308 and the third bevel gear 312 rotate in opposite directions. The first bevel gear 308 drives the first dispersing disk 4 to rotate via the rotating rod 309. The first dispersing disk 4 drives the second bevel gear 308 to rotate via the connecting rod 6. Dispersing disc 5 rotates, causing the first dispersing disc 4 and the second dispersing disc 5 to rotate synchronously. Sleeve rod 311 drives connecting plate 313 to rotate, and the rotation direction of connecting plate 313 is opposite to that of the first dispersing disc 4 and the second dispersing disc 5. During the rotation of connecting plate 313, the first dispersing rod 314 and the second dispersing rod 315 disperse the smaller metal powder pieces falling onto the upper part of the second dispersing disc 5. The dispersed metal powder pieces fall through the fine holes to the upper part of the lower part of the second dispersing disc 5 for further dispersion. As the metal powder falls from the upper part of the second dispersing disc 5 onto the lower part, hot air blown into the drying drum 1 by the air inlet pipe 7 disperses the falling metal powder. In this powder drying process, the gas carrying the moisture generated during the drying process is discharged from the drying drum 1 through the gas outlet pipe 9. After being dispersed multiple times by the second dispersion disc 5, the powder eventually falls onto the first dispersion disc 4, and then onto the guide plate 10. Guided by the guide plate 10, it is discharged from the discharge port 11, thus completing the drying of the metal powder. In the above operation, the metal powder blocks are dispersed during drying, which increases the contact area between the metal powder and the drying medium, thereby accelerating the evaporation of moisture. When the powder is dispersed, the moisture inside it is easier to diffuse to the surface and exchange heat with the drying medium, thereby shortening the drying time and improving the drying efficiency.

[0033] It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical description of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
