Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of copper ball drying equipment, specifically a dryer for copper balls. Background Technology
[0002] During the production process, copper balls need to be cleaned. After cleaning, a certain amount of moisture will adhere to their surface. At this time, a drying device is needed to dry the moisture on the surface of the copper balls to ensure that the quality of the copper balls will not be affected by moisture in subsequent processing. Copper balls can be dried using a chain plate dryer. During the drying process, the copper balls will be transported from one end of the chain plate dryer to the other end by the chain plate conveyor belt. During this process, hot air will be generated inside the chain plate dryer and blown onto the copper balls to achieve the drying of the copper balls.
[0003] However, in traditional chain plate dryers, the hot air inside is mostly blown towards the copper balls from one direction. As a result, the side of the copper balls exposed to the wind dries faster, while the side facing away from the wind dries slower. This can easily lead to uneven drying, resulting in poor drying effect. In addition, the hot air, which still has a certain temperature, will be discharged from the inside of the chain plate dryer after being blown out, thus wasting heat.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a dryer that can improve drying efficiency and reduce heat loss. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, this solution provides a dryer for copper balls that can blow hot air onto the copper balls from multiple directions, thereby making the copper balls dry more evenly and improving the drying effect.

[0028] Example 1
[0029] Because existing dryers suffer from hot air loss and there is a need to improve the drying effect of copper balls, a new dryer for copper balls was designed, and the specific solution is as follows:
[0030] like Figure 1-6As shown, a copper ball dryer for a copper ball production line includes a chain plate dryer 1. A connecting seat 2 is fixedly connected to the chain plate dryer 1. Multiple partitions 3 are fixedly connected inside the connecting seat 2. The multiple partitions 3 are linearly and equidistantly distributed. A drying structure 4 is provided on the connecting seat 2. The drying structure 4 includes a first air supply pipe 401 and a first fan 402. Multiple first air supply pipes 401 are fixedly connected to one side of the connecting seat 2. The ends of the first air supply pipes 401 are L-shaped. Multiple second air supply pipes 405 are fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting seat 2. The ends of the second air supply pipes 405 are L-shaped. A first fan 402 is installed on the first air supply pipe 401. A second fan 406 is installed on the second air supply pipe 405. An outer frame 403 is engaged with the first air supply pipe 401. Multiple heating wires 404 are fixedly connected inside the outer frame 403. A chain plate conveyor belt 9 is installed on the chain plate dryer 1.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a fixing structure 5 is provided on the first air supply pipe 401. The fixing structure 5 includes a connecting shaft 501 and a nut 502. Four connecting shafts 501 are fixedly connected to the first air supply pipe 401. The outer frame 403 can be positioned by the connecting shafts 501 passing through the nuts 502. The four connecting shafts 501 pass through the same outer frame 403. Nuts 502 are threaded on the connecting shafts 501. The outer frame 403 can be fixed by the contact between the nuts 502 and the outer frame 403. At the same time, the outer frame 403 can be removed from the first air supply pipe 401 by unscrewing the nuts 502, which facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the heating wire 404.
[0032] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a humidity sensor 7 is installed on the second air supply duct 405. The humidity sensor 7 can monitor the humidity in the hot air. When the humidity is detected to be high, it can remove moisture in time, thereby improving the drying effect.
[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the opening and closing structure 6 includes a connecting frame 601 and a rotating plate 602. The connecting frame 601 is fixedly connected inside the second air supply pipe 405. The rotating plate 602 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 601. The width of the cross-sections at both ends of the rotating plate 602 is smaller than the width of the middle cross-section. The second air supply pipe 405 is provided with an air inlet 604. A first baffle 603 is provided on one side of the air inlet 604. The first baffle 603 abuts against the second air supply pipe 405. The first baffle 603 is rotatably connected to the second air supply pipe 405. The second air supply pipe 405 is provided with an exhaust port 606. A second baffle 605 is provided on one side of the exhaust port 606. The second baffle 605 is rotatably connected to the second air supply pipe 405. The second baffle 605 abuts against the second air supply pipe 405. Plate 602 is rotatably connected to the second air supply duct 405. A synchronous pulley 607 is fixedly connected to the top of plate 602, the top of the first baffle 603 is fixedly connected to the synchronous pulley 607, the top of the second baffle 605 is fixedly connected to the synchronous pulley 607, and a support plate 610 is fixedly connected to the second air supply duct 405. The end of the support plate 610 has an L-shaped structure, and a motor 611 is installed at the top of the support plate 610. A synchronous pulley 607 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 611. The same synchronous belt 608 is wound around the four synchronous pulleys 607. By controlling the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 611, the second baffle 605, the first baffle 603, and the plate 602 can be rotated simultaneously, thereby facilitating the control of the air flow direction and realizing the dehumidification of the air.
[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, a guide wheel 609 is rotatably connected to the second air supply pipe 405. The guide wheel 609 and the back of the synchronous belt 608 can change the shape of the synchronous belt 608 after it is wound, so that the synchronous belt 608 can better mesh with the synchronous pulley 607.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple soft curtains 8 are installed at both ends of the connecting seat 2, which can prevent foreign objects from entering the interior of the connecting seat 2 and block hot air to prevent hot air from overflowing. A guide plate 10 is installed at one end of the chain plate dryer 1. After the dried copper balls move to one end of the chain plate conveyor belt 9, they can fall into the interior of the guide plate 10 under the action of gravity and roll inside the guide plate 10, thereby guiding the movement of the copper balls and making it easier for the copper balls to roll to the next process for processing.
[0036] Working principle:
[0037] In use, copper balls are placed on the chain conveyor belt 9 and transported by the chain conveyor belt 9. During the transport process, the first fan 402 is started, and air is blown towards the heating wire 404 by the first fan 402, thereby heating the air by the heating wire 404. The heated air is blown out from one end of the first air supply pipe 401 to dry one side of the copper ball. At the same time, the second fan 406 is started. Under the action of the second fan 406, hot air with residual heat enters from one end of the second air supply pipe 405 and then blows out from the other end of the second air supply pipe 405 to dry the other side of the copper ball. This allows the copper ball to be dried from two directions, making the drying of the copper ball more uniform and effectively improving the drying effect of the copper ball. Furthermore, the action of the first fan 402 and the second fan 406 can realize the recycling of hot air, saving energy and improving the environmental friendliness of use. By setting multiple first air supply pipes 401, the copper ball can be dried multiple times during the transport process, improving the drying effect.
[0038] As the drying time increases, the humidity in the circulating hot air increases. When the humidity sensor 7 detects that the humidity in the hot air is too high and dehumidification is required, the motor 611 is started. The output shaft of the motor 611 rotates, driving one of the synchronous pulleys 607 to rotate. The rotation of one synchronous pulley 607 drives the remaining three synchronous pulleys 607 to rotate via the synchronous belt 608. The rotation of the first synchronous pulley 607 causes the rotating plate 602 to rotate 90 degrees and abut against the connecting frame 601. The rotation of the second synchronous pulley 607 causes the first baffle 603 to rotate 90 degrees. The air inlet 604 is sealed. The rotation of the third synchronous wheel 607 will drive the second baffle 605, which will not seal the exhaust port 606. The humid hot air can be discharged from the exhaust port 606, while fresh air enters the interior of the connecting seat 2 from the air inlet 604 to replenish the air, thereby ensuring the air is dry and ensuring the drying effect. When the heating wire 404 needs to be inspected and maintained, the nut 502 is unscrewed from the connecting shaft 501, and then the outer frame 403 is removed from the interior of the first air supply pipe 401 to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the heating wire 404.
