Several fixing ears 11 are fixedly arranged in a circular array on the left and right sides of the inner circumferential sidewall of the drying cylinder 1. The opposing fixing ears 11 are respectively fixedly fitted to the left and right ends of a heating rod 12. A first bearing 13 is fixedly fitted onto the inner sidewall of the right opening of the drying cylinder 1. The inner ring of the first bearing 13 is fixedly inserted into the right end of an inner liner 14. A rotating shaft 141 is fixedly connected to the center of the left side wall of the inner liner 14. A conical baffle 142 is hinged to the rear right end of the inner drum 14. A feed inlet 143 is located at the center of the right end of the conical baffle 142. A U-shaped locking block 144 is provided on the front edge of the conical baffle 142. An L-shaped pin 145, which mates with the U-shaped locking block 144, is provided on the front edge of the right end of the inner drum 14. A locking cap 146 is screwed onto the L-shaped pin 145. A second bearing 15 is fixedly inserted into the center of the left side wall of the drying drum 1. The rotating shaft 141 is fixedly inserted into the second bearing 15. A fixing block 1 is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the outer side wall of the drying drum 1. 6. The fixing block 16 has a slot 161, and a pin 17 is movably inserted into the slot 161. The front and rear ends of the pin 17 are respectively fixedly inserted into the front and rear ends of the U-shaped fixing ears 18. Second fixing ears 19 are also fixedly provided on the front and rear sides of the lower right end of the outer side wall of the drying cylinder 1. Second rotating shafts 191 are movably inserted into the front and rear second fixing ears 19.
