Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic product manufacturing technology, specifically to a plastic product drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Most common plastic products in daily life are produced by extruding or injection molding plastic granules. As a raw material, plastic granules are consumed in large quantities and quickly. Therefore, a large amount of plastic granules are usually purchased at one time and stored in the factory for future use. However, plastic granules will become damp if stored for a long time, especially polyamide, ABS, PC and other plastics. They must be dried to remove moisture before use.
[0003] The novel plastic extruder drying device proposed in announcement number CN213208568U uses a feeding auger to transport plastic granules, thereby slowing down the introduction efficiency of plastic granules and preventing accumulation. At the same time, by setting multiple hollow inclined plates, the plastic is heated evenly and comprehensively, thus improving the drying effect of the plastic.
[0004] However, in the aforementioned document, multiple perforated inclined plates are arranged overlapping each other, and the fans and heating wires responsible for drying are all located above the drying chamber. This results in the hot air not being able to fully contact the plastic particles on the lower perforated inclined plates, affecting the drying effect of the plastic particles. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0021] In this technical solution, a plastic product drying device includes a drying cylinder 1 and a feeding hopper 2. The feeding hopper 2 is inserted and installed on the upper wall of the drying cylinder 1. A conveying mesh pipe 3 is installed in the inner cavity of the drying cylinder 1. The conveying mesh pipe 3 is spiral in shape, and the end of the conveying mesh pipe 3 is connected to the feeding hopper 2.
[0022] A drying mechanism 4 is installed below the material conveying pipe 3. The drying mechanism 4 includes a connecting ring 41, a slot 42, an air supply hose 43, an air inlet slot 44, a heating wire 45, a fan 46, and an air outlet 47. The connecting ring 41 is sleeved on the outer wall of the material conveying pipe 3. The lower wall of the connecting ring 41 has a slot 42. The air supply hose 43 is inserted into the slot 42. The side wall of the drying cylinder 1 has an air inlet slot 44. The end of the air supply hose 43 is inserted into the air inlet slot 44. The side wall of the drying cylinder 1 is equipped with a fan 46. The output end of the fan 46 is inserted into the air inlet slot 44. The heating wire 45 is installed in the air inlet slot 44. The fan 46 and the heating wire 45 are both electrically connected to an external power source. The upper wall of the air supply hose 43 has an air outlet 47. The air outlet 47 is located below the material conveying pipe 3.
[0023] In this technical solution, the air supply hose 43 in the drying mechanism 4 of this device is installed below the material conveying network pipe 3 through the slot 42 on the connecting ring 41. Therefore, the hot air sprayed out of the air outlet 47 in the air supply hose 43 will directly act on the plastic particles inside the material conveying network pipe 3 without any obstruction, thus ensuring the drying effect of this device on the plastic particles.
[0024] In some technical solutions, the feeding hopper 2 includes a hopper body 21, a through groove 22 and a baffle plate 23. The hopper body 21 is inserted into and installed on the upper wall of the drying cylinder 1. The side wall of the hopper body 21 is provided with a through groove 22, and the baffle plate 23 is slidably installed in the through groove 22.
[0025] In this technical solution, a baffle plate 23 is also inserted into the side wall of the feed hopper 2. The baffle plate 23 can block the discharge end below the hopper body 21, thereby controlling the feeding speed of plastic particles in the feed hopper 2 and preventing the accumulation of plastic particles in the conveying network pipe 3.
[0026] In some technical solutions, the lower wall of the drying cylinder 1 is equipped with support feet 5, and the lower wall of the drying cylinder 1 is provided with a discharge hole 6. The end of the conveying mesh pipe 3 away from the feed hopper 2 is inserted into the discharge hole 6.
[0027] In some technical solutions, the side wall of the drying cylinder 1 is provided with an exhaust groove 7, and an air guide pipe 8 is installed on the outer side wall of the drying cylinder 1. The cross-section of the air guide pipe 8 is L-shaped, and the air guide pipe 8 is located outside the exhaust groove 7.
[0028] In this technical solution, the airflow inside the drying cylinder 1 is discharged through the exhaust groove 7, and the air guide pipe 8 can guide the airflow to blow it upwards from the drying cylinder 1, so as to avoid causing injury to the staff when they are next to the drying cylinder 1.
[0029] In some technical solutions, a lever 9 is installed on the upper wall of one end of the baffle plate 23 located outside the bucket body 21.
[0030] In some technical solutions, the support foot 5 includes a threaded cylinder 51, a screw 52 and a base 53. The threaded cylinder 51 is installed on the lower wall of the drying cylinder 1, the screw 52 is rotatably installed inside the threaded cylinder 51, and the base 53 is installed on the lower wall of the screw 52.
[0031] In this technical solution, the height of the support leg 5 in this device can be adjusted so that the height of this device can be adaptively adjusted according to the height of the external storage box, ensuring that the storage box can be placed below the drying cylinder 1.
[0032] Working principle: First, move the baffle plate 23 on the side wall of the feed hopper 2 to the appropriate position. Then, start the heating wire 45 and the fan 46 in the drying mechanism 4. Then, place the plastic granules to be dried into the feed hopper 2. The plastic granules will then enter the conveying mesh pipe 3 through the feed hopper 2. At this time, the fan 46 blows into the air inlet trough 44. The heating wire 45 heats the air. Then, the hot air enters the air conveying hose 43 and is discharged through the air outlet 47. It directly acts on the plastic granules inside the conveying mesh pipe 3 without any obstruction, thus ensuring the drying effect of this device on the plastic granules.
[0033] After the plastic granules move to the end of the conveying mesh 3, they will be discharged through the discharge hole 6 and fall into the external storage box.
