DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 The utility model provides a technical scheme: plastic particle hot air dryer, include: equipment shell and material conveying structure.

[0026] The equipment shell includes a drying cylinder 10, a support frame 11 fixedly installed on the surface of the drying cylinder 10, and a feeding structure arranged on the surface of the drying cylinder 10. The support frame 11 is used to support the drying cylinder 10. The feeding structure includes a feeding pipe 50 fixedly installed on the surface of the drying cylinder 10, a feeding pipe 51 fixedly installed on the surface of the feeding pipe 50, and a feeding frame 52 fixedly installed on the upper end of the feeding pipe 51. One end of the feeding pipe 51 is in communication with the inside of the feeding pipe 50. A valve is arranged on the surface of the feeding pipe 51. A heat source fan 60 is fixedly installed on the end of the feeding pipe 50 away from the drying cylinder 10. After opening the valve, the plastic particles are poured into the feeding frame 52. Then the heat source fan 60 is driven. The plastic particles in the feeding frame 52 will enter the feeding pipe 50 along the feeding pipe 51. The plastic particles entering the feeding pipe 50 are blown into the drying cylinder 10 by the heat source fan 60. After the heat source fan 60 passes through the feeding pipe 50, the high-speed airflow passing through the feeding pipe 50 will form a local negative pressure area at the inlet of the feeding pipe 51, generating adsorption force to assist material flow. Thus, the plastic particles can be prevented from being blocked in the feeding pipe 51. Closing the valve can prevent hot air from being discharged along the feeding pipe 51.

[0027] The material conveying structure is arranged inside the drying cylinder 10, which comprises a material lifting assembly and a material dispersion assembly. The material lifting assembly comprises a conveying pipe 20 fixedly installed on the top wall inside the drying cylinder 10, a spiral conveying auger 21 rotatably installed on the top wall inside the conveying pipe 20, and a motor 22 fixedly installed on the upper end of the drying cylinder 10. The surface of the conveying pipe 20 is respectively provided with a feeding port 23 and a discharging port 24. The conveying pipe 20 is vertically arranged, and the lower end thereof extends to the bottom of the drying cylinder 10 and penetrates out of the drying cylinder 10. The lower end of the conveying pipe 20 is rotatably connected with a blocking plate 40, and a lock catch is arranged between the blocking plate 40 and the conveying pipe 20. The lock catch is a prior art, and the blocking plate 40 can block the lower end of the conveying pipe 20 by using the lock catch. Therefore, no further description is given.

[0028] The shaft end of the motor 22 is fixedly connected with the shaft end of the spiral conveying auger 21. The feeding port 23 is arranged close to the bottom of the drying cylinder 10, and the discharging port 24 is arranged close to the top of the drying cylinder 10. The driving motor 22 can drive the spiral conveying auger 21 to rotate. When the plastic particles enter the drying cylinder 10, the plastic particles will enter the conveying pipe 20 through the feeding port 23. Then, the plastic particles can be driven to move upwards along the conveying pipe 20 by the rotating spiral conveying auger 21 and discharged from the discharging port 24.

[0029] The material dispersion assembly comprises a spiral flow guide plate 30 fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the drying cylinder 10, and the other side of the spiral flow guide plate 30 is fixedly connected with the surface of the conveying pipe 20. The starting end of the spiral flow guide plate 30 is below the discharging port 24, and the terminal end of the spiral flow guide plate 30 is above the feeding port 23. One end of a feeding pipe 50 extends to the inside of the drying cylinder 10 and is located at the terminal end of the spiral flow guide plate 30. When the plastic particles are discharged from the discharging port 24, the plastic particles will be dispersed and fall onto the spiral flow guide plate 30. At this time, the hot air generated by a heat source fan 60 will flow upwards along the spiral flow guide plate 30 and contact the falling plastic particles. The spiral flow guide plate 30 can slow down the falling speed of the plastic particles and increase the contact time of the plastic particles with the hot air, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the device can convey the plastic particles in the drying cylinder 10 upwards along the conveying pipe 20 by using the material conveying structure, and the plastic particles can be dispersed and then fall back to the bottom of the drying cylinder 10 by using the material dispersion structure. Then, the plastic particles are conveyed upwards by the material conveying structure again. The reciprocating circulation can avoid the accumulation of materials and cause uneven drying, and also improves the processing capacity of single drying.

[0031] An exhaust fan 70 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the drying cylinder 10, and the air inlet end of the exhaust fan 70 extends to the inside of the drying cylinder 10. The exhaust fan 70 is connected with an external waste gas treatment system. The wet and hot air in the drying cylinder 10 can be discharged by opening the exhaust fan 70.

[0032] The operation method of the mechanism is as follows:

[0033] Opening the valve of the feeding pipe 51, the plastic particles enter the feeding pipe 50 from the feeding frame 52, the high-speed hot air driven by the heat source fan 60 blows the particles into the drying cylinder 10, and the negative pressure effect assists the smooth conveying of the material;

[0034] Material lifting:

[0035] The motor 22 drives the spiral conveying auger 21 to rotate, and the plastic particles at the bottom of the drying cylinder 10 are lifted along the conveying pipe 20 from the feeding port 23 to the top discharging port 24 by the motor 22;

[0036] Dispersion and drying:

[0037] The particles fall into the spiral guide plate 30 from the discharging port 24 and slowly fall along the spiral path under the action of gravity; the hot air of the heat source fan 60 flows upward against the particles, fully contacts the particles and evaporates the moisture, and the structure of the spiral guide plate 30 prolongs the heat exchange time;

[0038] Circulation and moisture removal:

[0039] The particles fall into the spiral guide plate 30 from the discharging port 24 and slowly fall along the spiral path under the action of gravity; the hot air of the heat source fan 60 flows upward against the particles, fully contacts the particles and evaporates the moisture, and the structure of the spiral guide plate 30 prolongs the heat exchange time;

[0040] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the utility model, and the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
