[0009] 2, slow heating speed: reduces overall production efficiency and increases energy consumption cost;
[0010] 3, local temperature is too high: easy to cause plastic particle caking, not only affects product quality, but also may cause equipment failure. INVENTION CONTENTS
[0011] The utility model is directed to the above problems existing in prior art, and proposes a deodorization drying equipment with uniform heating and plastic particles not easy to cake.
[0012] The utility model can be realized by the following technical solutions:

[0014] Drying barrel;
[0015] Circulating feeder, it is set in the top of the drying barrel and is used to put material to the drying barrel, material forms continuous flow path from top to bottom in the drying barrel;
[0016] A material circulating pipeline is connected with the bottom of the material drying barrel and the circulating material feeding machine, and the material forms a flow path from bottom to top in the material circulating pipeline;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] The utility model provides a specific embodiment below and further describes the technical method of the utility model in combination with drawings, but the utility model is not limited to these embodiments.
[0038] As Figs. 1-2 Indicated, the utility model provides a kind of plastic particle deodorization drying equipment of anti-caking, comprising:

[0041] Material circulation pipeline 120, its both ends are connected with the bottom of material drying barrel 100 and circulating feeding machine 110 respectively, and material forms the flow path from bottom to top in material circulation pipeline 120;
[0042] Hot air fan 130, it is connected with the air supply duct 131 and return air duct 132 between material drying barrel 100 and forms hot air circulation system, air supply duct 131 is equipped with heater 1311, and material in material drying barrel 100 is dried by the hot air of circulating delivery.
[0043] Worth mentioning is, the plastic particle deodorization drying equipment provided in the embodiment is integrated with material circulation system and hot air circulation system, wherein,
[0044] The setting of material circulation system at least brings following advantages:
[0045] 1, prevent caking: by designing material circulation system, plastic particle can form the continuous flow path from top to bottom in material drying barrel 100, and this flow mode effectively avoids the accumulation of particles, disperses the gravity effect between particles, to reduce the possibility of caking.
[0046] 2, uniform heating: material is constantly turned over and redistributed during circulation, which helps hot air and particles to contact more fully, ensuring that each particle can be uniformly heated, compared with static heating mode, this mode can significantly improve the uniformity and efficiency of heating.
[0047] 3, improve processing effect: the existence of material circulation system makes material can pass through high-temperature area multiple times during drying, increases the opportunity of volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and moisture to volatilize from particles, thereby improving the effect of deodorization and drying.
[0048] The setting of hot air circulation system at least brings following advantages:
[0049] 1. Improved heating efficiency: The hot air circulation system allows the heated air to be continuously recycled, ensuring that heat is evenly distributed throughout the drying barrel 100. This not only increases the speed of material heating but also ensures that all plastic particles are fully heated, effectively removing residual TVOC and moisture.
[0050] 2. Significant energy saving: The hot air circulation system reduces heat loss by recycling hot air within the system. Compared to traditional single-pass heating methods, this design significantly reduces energy consumption, achieving the goal of energy saving and emission reduction.
[0051] 3. Avoiding material caking: Uniform hot air distribution helps maintain overall material temperature balance, reducing the risk of plastic particle melting and caking caused by local high temperatures.
[0052] In addition, the combination of material circulation system and hot air circulation system forms a double circulation mechanism. The continuous flow of material combined with the continuous circulation of hot air further improves the efficiency of odor removal and drying, and brings more significant anti-caking effect.
[0053] Preferably, the drying barrel 100 is provided with multiple layers of cavities from top to bottom, and each layer of cavities is connected to each other. Each layer of cavities is provided with a specific hot air guide structure to ensure that hot air and material can fully contact in each layer and promote the uniform flow of material.
[0054] Further description of the hot air circulation system is as follows:
[0055] Preferably, the drying barrel 100 is provided with multiple layers of cavities from top to bottom, and each layer of cavities is connected to each other. Each layer of cavities is provided with a specific hot air guide structure to ensure that hot air and material can fully contact in each layer and promote the uniform flow of material.
[0056] Specifically, the cavity of the drying barrel 100 is also provided with an air inlet guide groove 103 and an air return guide groove 104. The air inlet 101 is connected to the inside of the cavity of the drying barrel 100 through the air inlet guide groove 103. The hot air entering the cavity of the drying barrel 100 is guided to the air return port 102 through the air return guide groove 104, and finally returns to the hot air fan 130 through the air return pipeline 132 for reheating and recycling, forming a complete hot air circulation system.
[0057] It is worth mentioning here that in the present embodiment, the top of the return air guide groove 104 is designed in a pointed structure (for example, a triangle), which can effectively disperse the gravity generated when the material is accumulated above the guide groove. Due to the pointed shape, the contact area is reduced, and the adhesion between particles and between particles and the return air guide groove 104 is reduced, thereby avoiding the problem of material caking caused by concentrated accumulation, and indirectly promoting the flow of the material;
[0058] It is also because the return air guide groove 104 can avoid material accumulation that the flow path of the hot air is optimized, ensuring that the hot air can pass through the material layer more smoothly and return to the hot air fan 130, which helps to maintain a stable airflow pattern in the drying barrel 100, providing a more stable heating environment for the plastic particles, further improving the drying efficiency and deodorizing effect, and also helping to maintain the consistency of product quality,
[0059] Preferably, the air inlet guide groove 103 and the return air guide groove 104 are provided in multiple groups on the cavity of the drying barrel 100, and each group of air inlet guide grooves 103 and each group of return air guide grooves 104 are arranged at intervals, which can ensure that the hot air is more evenly distributed in the entire cavity. This design avoids the problem of local overheating or cold spots, improving the consistency and efficiency of heating.
[0060] Preferably, the air inlet guide groove 103 is designed in a long strip structure, which can make the hot air entering the drying barrel 100 spread uniformly along a longer direction. This design helps to expand the coverage of the hot air, ensuring that the hot air can contact the material more widely, while also being able to guide the airflow more stably, reducing the occurrence of turbulence, and ensuring the smoothness of the hot air flow when it enters the material layer. This not only helps to effectively transfer heat, but also avoids the scattering or irregular movement of the material caused by unstable airflow
[0061] Preferably, a group of return air guide grooves 104 is arranged at intervals by multiple independent slots. Since each slot is relatively small and independent, the possibility of large particle material entering the return air guide groove 104 and causing blockage is reduced, ensuring the stability and continuity of the equipment operation. At the same time, each slot can also disperse the gravity of the material, reducing the problem of caking caused by concentrated accumulation of the material.
[0062] Preferably, the return air duct 132 is also provided with an exhaust port 1321. Regular ventilation through the exhaust port 1321 can effectively remove volatile organic compounds such as TVOC released during the drying process from the drying barrel 100, avoiding the accumulation of these substances in the closed system, thereby significantly improving the deodorizing effect, and reducing the risk of re-adsorption of TVOC during the drying process, improving the purity of the final product.
[0063] Preferably, the bottom of the material drying barrel 100 is provided with a discharge port 105, and the inlet end of the material circulating pipeline 120 is connected to the side of the discharge port 105, and after the deodorization and drying of the material are completed, the material is discharged outward from the discharge port 105 and collected.
