Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bentonite drying technology, and in particular to a bentonite processing and drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Bentonite processing and drying equipment is a device used to dry bentonite. Its main function is to remove moisture from bentonite to meet the requirements of subsequent processing or use. After removing moisture, the physical properties of bentonite, such as adsorption and expansion, can be better utilized, improving its application effect in various fields. Dried bentonite is less prone to clumping and mold growth, reducing costs and risks during storage and transportation, and helping to improve the processing quality and production efficiency of bentonite.

[0003] The main mineral component of bentonite is montmorillonite, which accounts for 85-90% of the total content. Some of the properties of bentonite are also determined by montmorillonite, which can be in various colors such as yellow-green, yellow-white, gray, white, etc.

[0004] Existing patent (publication number: CN214217204U) discloses a conveying device for bentonite processing, comprising a conveying device body, a conveying hopper, a left side plate and a right side plate on both sides of the conveying hopper, a back plate between the left and right side plates, and an extension plate on the side of the left and right side plates away from the conveying hopper. A first motor, a second motor, and a third motor are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the extension plates. The output shafts of the first, second, and third motors are fixed to a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft, and a third rotating shaft, respectively. Simultaneously, a plurality of crescent-shaped first conveying blades, second conveying blades, and third conveying blades are arranged around the rotating shafts. This invention, by having the first, second, and third motors drive the crescent-shaped first, second, and third conveying blades on the rotating shaft surface to rotate sequentially, achieves the conveying of blocky bentonite, resulting in fast conveying speed, reduced material loss from the conveying hopper, and high efficiency.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents have provided solutions. However, existing bentonite processing and drying equipment typically involves placing the bentonite directly onto a plate or frame and then processing it through methods such as drying. After processing, the bentonite is in a dry state. While this method can ultimately dry the bentonite, the drying efficiency is low, and the bentonite cannot achieve other effects during the drying process, making it impractical.

[0006] Therefore, a bentonite processing and drying equipment is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bentonite processing and drying device that can solve the problems of existing bentonite processing and drying devices, which typically place bentonite directly on a plate or frame and then process it through drying or other methods.

[0030] In this embodiment: the structure on the device can be installed by setting the mounting bracket 3; the motor 11 can drive the fixed shaft 14 to rotate; the fixed shaft 14 can drive the stirring rod 18 to rotate; the motor 11 can be installed by setting the stirring tank 12; the heater 17 and the fixed rod 16 can be installed by setting the drying chamber 13; the fixed rod 16 can drive the rotating paddle 19 to rotate; the rotating paddle 19 can make the bentonite continuously roll in the chamber, making full contact with the hot air and achieving uniform drying; the stirring rod 18 can make the bentonite continuously turn over, which can prevent the bentonite from accumulating and clumping; the heater 17 can heat the drying chamber 13, and a temperature monitor is fixedly connected to the right side of the heater 17 to control the temperature.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary mechanism 2 includes a fan 21, a ventilation pipe 22, and a filter screen 23. The fan 21 is fixedly connected to the left side of the drying chamber 13, the ventilation pipe 22 is fixed and passes through the mixing tank 12 and the left side of the drying chamber 13, and the filter screen 23 is movably connected to the inner wall of the ventilation pipe 22.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a dust removal pipe 24 is fixed and passes through the left side of the drying chamber 13 and the mixing tank 12. A vacuum cleaner 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the dust removal pipe 24, and a collection bag 26 is movably connected to the bottom of the vacuum cleaner 25.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, mounting wheels 6 are fixedly sleeved on the surfaces of the fixed shaft 14 and the fixed rod 16, and belts 15 are movably connected to the inner wall of the mounting wheels 6.

[0034] In this embodiment: the fan 21 can draw in and heat the air outside the drying chamber 13; the ventilation pipe 22 can distribute the hot air evenly in the drying chamber 13, improving drying efficiency; the filter screen 23 can filter the air discharged from the ventilation pipe 22, improving air quality; the dust removal pipe 24 can transport dust; the vacuum cleaner 25 can draw in the dust and transport it to the inside of the collection bag 26; the collection bag 26 can collect the dust; and the mounting wheel 6 and belt 15 can rotate synchronously when the fixed shaft 14 rotates.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a mesh plate 7 is movably connected between the mixing tank 12 and the drying chamber 13, and a feed hopper 4 is fixedly connected to the right side of the mixing tank 12.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a conveyor plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 3, and a PLC controller 27 is fixedly connected to the left side of the mounting frame 3.

[0037] In this embodiment: the bentonite can be screened by setting the mesh plate 7. Only when the bentonite reaches the size of the mesh plate 7 holes can it fall into the drying chamber 13. If it does not reach the size of the mesh plate 7 holes, it will be continuously stirred by the stirring rod 18. The bentonite can be put into the mixing tank 12 by setting the feed hopper 4. The bentonite discharge effect can be improved by setting the conveying plate 8. The PLC controller 27 can control the structure such as the motor 11, fan 21, heater 17, hydraulic rod 9 and vacuum cleaner 25.

[0041] Working principle: When the user needs to dry bentonite, the bentonite can first be fed into the mixing tank 12 through the feed hopper 4. After that, the user can turn on the power and start the motor 11. The motor 11 drives the fixed shaft 14 to rotate, and the fixed shaft 14 drives the fixed rod 16 to rotate through the belt 15 and the mounting wheel 6, so that the mixing rod 18 and the rotating paddle 19 rotate respectively, stirring and tumbling the bentonite. At the same time, the user can turn on the power and start the heater 17 to heat the drying chamber 13, while the fan 21 can draw in outside air, heat it, and then pass it through the air duct. The air duct 22 sends hot air into the drying chamber 13, which distributes the hot air evenly and speeds up the drying of the bentonite. During the drying process, the dust generated is sucked into the collection bag 26 by the dust collector 25 through the dust removal pipe 24. With the continuous stirring of the stirring rod 18, when the bentonite reaches the required size, it can be screened by the screen plate 7. The bentonite that meets the particle size requirements falls into the drying chamber 13 for drying. After the bentonite is dried, the hydraulic rod 9 is extended or retracted by the PLC controller 27, which drives the discharge rail 5 to rotate, so that the dried bentonite is discharged through the conveyor plate 8 for the next process.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
