Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the technical field of valve ball drying, specifically a drying device for valve ball production. Background Technology
[0002] Drying is an essential step in the production of valve balls, playing a crucial role in ensuring their quality and performance. The primary purpose of drying during production is to remove moisture, oil, and other impurities from the ball's surface, ensuring cleanliness and dryness. This improves coating adhesion and sealing performance during subsequent processing, and ultimately enhances the overall quality and performance of the valve.
[0003] The valve ball is spherical in shape and has a cylindrical through-hole on its inner wall. In the existing technology, when drying the valve ball, the through-hole is not easy to dry completely due to its special structure. The residual liquid will cause oxidation and corrosion on the inner wall of the valve ball, affecting the quality of the finished product. In addition, the production of valve balls is mostly carried out on assembly lines with a large output per unit time and high pressure for finished product processing, which further exacerbates the difficulty of fully drying the valve ball. This technical problem urgently needs to be solved by personnel in related technical fields. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drying device for valve ball production, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A drying device for valve ball production includes a drying device, one end of which is provided with a feeding hopper, and the other end of which is provided with a drying pipe. At least two support frames are sleeved on the outer wall of the drying pipe, and at least one connecting pipe is provided on one side of the outer wall of the drying pipe.
[0007] Preferably, at least one drying hole is provided on one side of the outer wall of the drying tube, and at least one drying hole is provided on the bottom of the outer wall of the drying tube;
[0008] One end of the drying tube is connected to the discharge hopper, and the other end of the drying tube is provided with an outlet. The drying tube is inclined at an angle of 0-15 degrees relative to the horizontal plane, with one end connected to the discharge hopper at the top and the other end at the bottom.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the connecting tube is provided with an input connection port, and the other end of the connecting tube is provided with an output connection port;
[0010] The output connection port is connected to the drying port.
[0011] Preferably, one of the support frames is provided with a vibrator on one side.
[0012] Preferably, one end of the input connection port is connected to the dryer.
[0013] In summary, this technical solution has the following main advantages:
[0014] By setting drying holes on one side and at the bottom of the drying tube and connecting it to the dryer through a connecting pipe, the valve ball can be fully dried in the drying tube. In addition, setting the drying tube at an inclination angle of 0-15 degrees relative to the horizontal plane, installing a vibrator on one side of the support frame, and connecting the dryer and the drying tube through a connecting pipe are beneficial for continuous drying of the valve ball.
[0015] Secondly, this device has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and can be widely applied to applications involving the drying of valve balls. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a drying device 10, with a discharge hopper 11 at one end and a drying pipe 12 at the other end. At least two support frames 13 are fitted on the outer wall of the drying pipe 12, and at least one connecting pipe 14 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the drying pipe 12.
[0023] At least one drying hole 121 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the drying tube 12, and at least one drying hole 122 is provided on the bottom of the outer wall of the drying tube 12.
[0024] One end of the drying tube 12 is connected to the discharge hopper 11, and the other end of the drying tube 12 is provided with an output port. The drying tube 12 is inclined at an angle of 0-15 degrees relative to the horizontal plane, with one end connected to the discharge hopper 11 at the top and the other end at the bottom.
[0025] One end of the connecting tube 14 is provided with an input connection port 141, and the other end of the connecting tube 14 is provided with an output connection port 142;
[0026] The output connection port 142 is connected to the drying port 121.
[0027] One of the support frames 13 has a vibrator 131 on one side.
[0028] One end of the input connection port 141 is connected to the dryer.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the valve ball needs to be dried. The valve ball is spherical and has a cylindrical through hole in the inner wall. During drying, it is fed into the inner cavity of the drying tube 12 from the feeding hopper 11 at one end of the drying device 10. At this time, the connecting pipe 14 on one side of the outer wall of the drying tube 12 has its input connection port 141 connected to the dryer and its output connection port 142 connected to the drying hole 121 through the outer wall of the drying tube 12. When the dryer is working, the inner cavity of the drying tube 12 can be continuously dried through the connecting pipe 14, thereby drying the valve ball in the inner cavity. In addition, the drying tube 12 is set with an inclination angle of 0-15 degrees relative to the horizontal plane, with the valve ball input end on top and the output end on the bottom. At the same time, the support frame 13 that supports and limits the drying tube 12 has a vibrator 131 on one side to facilitate the rolling and sliding out of the valve ball during the drying process, so as to achieve the purpose of continuous processing and drying.
[0031] It needs to be further explained that, such as Figure 4 As shown, since valve ball a has a central through hole, during the rolling process of the valve ball, if the orientation of the central through hole is not consistent with the direction of the drying air input from drying hole 121, the central through hole may not be fully dried. Therefore, drying hole 122 is provided at the bottom of drying pipe 12. If drying hole 122 is not connected to the drying equipment, excess liquid left in drying pipe 12 during the rolling process of the valve ball can be discharged. If drying hole 122 is connected to the drying equipment like drying hole 121, then the central through hole of the valve ball can be dried from all directions during the rolling process, which is beneficial to fully drying the central through hole of the valve ball.
[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0033] The valve ball enters the inner cavity of the drying tube 12 from the discharge hopper 11. One end of the connecting pipe 14 is connected to the dryer via the connection port 141, and the other end is connected to the drying hole 121 to dry the valve ball inside the drying tube 12. At the same time, the drying tube 12 is tilted at an angle of 0-15 degrees in a horizontal position, with one end of the discharge hopper 11 higher than the other end. The vibrator 131 on one side of the support frame vibrates, causing the valve ball to roll inside the drying tube, thereby drying it thoroughly. In addition, the drying hole 2 at the bottom of the drying tube 12 can also be connected to the dryer via a connecting pipe to enhance the drying effect of the valve ball.
[0034] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept of this utility model and should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. Any modifications made to the technical solution based on the technical concept proposed by this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
