[0021] 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.

[0022] In the prior art, a heating furnace is usually used to dry precious metal catalysts. Heating and drying can quickly remove moisture from the catalyst and restore its activity. However, after heating, the catalyst needs to be taken out and the material needs to be added again. The drying temperature needs to be reheated, which affects the drying efficiency. The following describes some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, providing a precious metal catalyst drying device.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] To ensure the drying effect of the catalyst, combined with Figures 1-4 As shown, a precious metal catalyst drying device is proposed. A support mechanism 1 is provided to support the entire device. A drying mechanism 2 is provided on the support mechanism 1. The drying mechanism 2 is used to continuously dry the precious metal catalyst. A collection mechanism 3 is provided below the drying mechanism 2. The collection mechanism 3 is used to easily collect the dried precious metal catalyst.

[0025] To improve the drying efficiency of the catalyst, a drying mechanism 2 is proposed. Multiple support plates 201 are fixedly connected to the top of a support frame 101. Each support plate 201 has a first fixing ring 202 fixedly connected to its top. A connecting frame 203 is fixedly connected between the first fixing rings 202. A drying container 204 is installed inside each of the first fixing rings 202. A heat-insulating cover 205 is installed on the top of each drying container 204. A small servo motor is installed on the top wall of the support frame 104. A square rod 206, rotatably connected to the drive shaft of the small servo motor, is rotatably connected to the top of the support frame 104. Second fixing rings 207 are fixedly connected to both ends of the square rod 206. The two second fixing rings 207 fix the positions of two fixing boxes 208. Heating wires are installed inside each fixing box 208. 209. Heat is provided for drying the catalyst through heating wire 209. A circular plate 210 is rotatably connected inside each of the multiple drying containers 204, through which the catalyst is placed. In the initial state, the two fixing boxes 208 are located below the two drying containers 204 respectively. After the catalyst in the two drying containers 204 is dried, a small servo motor drives the square rod 206 to rotate 90° counterclockwise, causing the two fixing boxes 208 to move below the other two drying containers 204, thus connecting them to dry the new catalyst. Since the bottom of each of the multiple drying containers 204 is equipped with a silicone sealing strip, it can remain stable at a high temperature of 200°C, thereby preventing excessive heat loss through gaps and greatly improving the drying efficiency of the device.

[0026] Multiple drying containers 204 and two fixing boxes 208 are arranged in a circumferential array, so that the fixing boxes 208 can correspond to the multiple drying containers 204 during the adjustment process. The inner diameter of the drying containers 204 is larger than the inner diameter of the fixing boxes 208, so that the circular plate 210 can be kept horizontal when the fixing boxes 208 are located below the drying containers 204.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] Based on Example 1, the technical solution proposed in Example 1 is used to solve the problem in the prior art that after heating, the catalyst needs to be stopped and removed before being refilled, and the drying temperature needs to be reheated, which affects the drying efficiency. However, after the catalyst is dried, it is usually removed manually, which is dangerous for workers due to the high temperature.

[0029] To facilitate the discharge of the dried catalyst, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 as well as Figure 4As shown, a collection mechanism 3 is proposed. An adjusting frame 301 is rotatably connected to the bottom of a fixed frame 104. A micro motor for driving the adjusting frame 301 to rotate is installed on the bottom wall of the fixed frame 104. Collection boxes 302 are fixedly connected to multiple connecting sections of the adjusting frame 301. Connecting platforms 303 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of multiple circular plates 210. Square grooves 304 are formed at the bottoms of multiple connecting platforms 303, and weight blocks 305 are installed in each of the square grooves 304. Since the square rod 206 rotates only counterclockwise during adjustment... When the square rod 206 drives the fixed box 208 to rotate, the fixed box 208 applies a thrust to the connecting platform 303, causing the connecting platform 303 to drive the circular plate 210 to rotate, thus ensuring the horizontal state of the circular plate 210. After the catalyst is dried, the supporting effect of the fixed box 208 on the connecting platform 303 disappears. Under the action of the load block 305, the connecting platform 303 drives the circular plate to rotate and tilt, allowing the catalyst to slide into the collection box 302, greatly improving the ease of catalyst collection of the device.

[0030] To support the entire device, a support mechanism 1 is proposed, which mainly consists of a support frame 101 and a fixed frame 104. Multiple fixed plates 102 are fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 101, and fixed rods 103 are fixedly connected to the top of each of the multiple fixed plates 102. The multiple fixed rods 103 are all connected to the fixed frame 104. The position of the fixed frame 104 is fixed by the multiple fixed plates 102 and the multiple fixed rods 103. Since the height of the multiple fixed rods 103 is between the bottom of the square rod 206 and the top of the collection box 302, the rotation and adjustment process of the fixed box 208 and the collection box 302 will not be obstructed, thus ensuring the stable operation of the device.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
