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.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0029] A multi-stage hot air circulation device for drying titanium concentrate includes a working box 1, a drying mechanism 2 fixedly connected to the right side of the working box 1, a circulation mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the left side of the working box 1, and an insulation door 4 rotatably connected to the front side of the working box 1.

[0030] The circulation mechanism 3 includes an exhaust pipe 31, a one-way solenoid valve 32, a connecting pipe 33, a limiting box 34, a moisture-absorbing plate 35, an exhaust port 36, and a return pipe 37. The exhaust pipe 31 is fixedly connected to the left side of the working box 1. The one-way solenoid valve 32 is installed on the left side of the exhaust pipe 31 and the top of the limiting box 34.

The exhaust port 36 is opened on the rear side of the top of the limiting box 34. The return pipe 37 is fixedly connected to the front side of the one-way solenoid valve 32. The front side of the return pipe 37 passes through and extends to the inside of the working box 1.

[0031] In this embodiment: the working chamber 1 provides a closed space for drying titanium concentrate, effectively reducing heat loss and creating a stable environment for the drying process. It also supports and limits the drying mechanism 2 and the circulation mechanism 3. The insulating door 4 is rotatably connected to the front of the working chamber 1, used to open and close the working chamber 1, facilitating loading, unloading, and inspection and maintenance of the interior of the working chamber 1 by operators. The air outlet pipe 31 is used to draw hot air out of the working chamber 1, serving as the starting channel for hot air circulation. The single-way solenoid valve 32 controls the flow direction and circulation path of the hot air. The connecting pipe 33 transmits the hot air. The function is to ensure that hot air can smoothly enter the limiting box 34 for dehumidification. The limiting box 34 provides installation space for the moisture absorption plate 35 and centrally processes the hot air. There are three moisture absorption plates 35, which are evenly fixed and connected to the inside of the limiting box 34. The exhaust hole 36 is used to discharge excess moisture and a small amount of air after moisture absorption treatment, maintain air circulation in the limiting box 34, and ensure the moisture absorption effect of the moisture absorption plate 35. The return air pipe 37 sends the dehumidified hot air back into the working box 1, realizing the recycling of hot air, improving energy utilization, reducing drying costs, and reducing energy consumption and exhaust emissions.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the drying mechanism 2 includes a support plate 21, two hot air generators 22, a connecting frame 23, an air inlet pipe 24, an air expansion duct 25, a placement plate 26, and a PLC controller 27. The support plate 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the right side of the work box 1.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the connecting frame 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 21, the bottom hot air generator 22 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting frame 23, the top hot air generator 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 23, and the air inlet pipe 24 is fixedly connected to the left side of the hot air generator 22.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the left side of the bottom air inlet pipe 24 passes through the work box 1 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom air duct 25, and the left side of the top air inlet pipe 24 passes through the work box 1 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top air duct 25. The air duct 25 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inner side of the work box 1, respectively. The placement plate 26 is slidably connected to the inner side of the work box 1, and the PLC controller 27 is installed on the front side of the door insulation 4.

[0035] In this embodiment: the support plate 21 serves to support the connecting frame 23 and the hot air generator 22. The hot air generator 22 generates hot air to provide the necessary heat for drying the titanium concentrate. The two hot air generators 22 can make the hot air act on the titanium concentrate from different directions, which improves the uniformity and efficiency of drying and ensures that the titanium concentrate is fully heated and dried in all parts. The connecting frame 23 is used to fix and support the hot air generator 22. The air inlet pipe 24 delivers the hot air generated by the hot air generator 22 into the working box 1. The air diffuser 25 is connected to the air inlet pipe 24 and can evenly diffuse the hot air delivered by the air inlet pipe 24, so that the hot air covers the titanium concentrate more widely and further improves the uniformity of drying. The placement plate 26 is slidably connected to the inside of the working box 1 for easy placement and removal of the titanium concentrate. The PLC controller 27 can automatically control the drying mechanism 2 and the single-way solenoid valve 32.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, limit plates 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner side of the work box 1. A slide rail 6 is provided on the top of the limit plate 5. A slider 7 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the bottom of the placement plate 26. The slider 7 is slidably connected to the inner side of the slide rail 6.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a moisture-absorbing cloth 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the moisture-absorbing plate 35. The moisture-absorbing cloth 12 is made of calcium chloride fiber material.

[0038] In this embodiment: By setting the limiting plate 5, the slide rail 6 and the placement plate 26 can be supported and limited. By setting the slide rail 6, which cooperates with the slider 7 at the bottom of the placement plate 26, the placement plate 26 can slide smoothly in the working box 1. By setting the slider 7, which cooperates with the slide rail 6, the sliding function of the placement plate 26 in the working box 1 is realized. By setting the moisture-absorbing cloth 12, the moisture in the hot air can be absorbed quickly and effectively. By setting the moisture-absorbing cloth 12 to be made of calcium chloride fiber material, calcium chloride fiber material has a strong moisture absorption capacity, can be reused, and can restore moisture absorption performance after being dried by hot air circulation, thus reducing operating costs.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a heat insulation board 8 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the heat insulation door 4. The heat insulation board 8 is made of polystyrene foam plastic material. A handle 9 is fixedly connected to the front side of the heat insulation door 4. The surface of the handle 9 is engraved with anti-slip texture.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the inner side of the placement plate 26 is configured as a filter mesh, and the surface of the placement plate 26 is coated with an anti-corrosion coating.

[0041] In this embodiment: by setting the heat insulation plate 8, heat loss inside the working chamber 1 can be reduced, thus lowering energy consumption. The heat insulation plate 8 is made of polystyrene foam, which has good heat insulation performance. The handle 9 facilitates the opening and closing of the heat insulation door 4 for the operator. The anti-slip texture increases the stability and comfort of the grip, improving operational safety. The inner side of the placement plate 26 is designed as a filter mesh, which facilitates the passage of hot air, allowing the titanium concentrate to fully contact the hot air and improving the drying effect. The anti-corrosion coating extends the service life of the placement plate 26 and prevents corrosion from the titanium concentrate and hot air during the drying process.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a sealing ring 10 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the connecting pipe 33, and the side of the sealing ring 10 away from the connecting pipe 33 is fixedly connected to the left side of the limiting box 34.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a dust filter 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the exhaust port 36, and the surface of the dust filter 11 is coated with an anti-corrosion coating.

[0044] In this embodiment: by setting a sealing ring 10, the sealing between the connecting pipe 33 and the limiting box 34 is ensured, preventing hot air leakage during transmission. By setting a dust filter 11, external debris can be effectively blocked from entering the limiting box 34, avoiding debris from affecting the moisture absorption effect of the moisture absorption plate 35 and the normal operation of the entire circulation system. By setting an anti-corrosion coating, its service life is enhanced, ensuring that the dust filter 11 can work stably for a long time in humid and corrosive gas environments.

[0045] Working Principle: First, the operator installs the working box 1 into the designated working position. After installation, the operator holds handle 9 and opens the insulated door 4. Then, the operator slowly pulls out the placement plate 26 along the slide rail 6 and evenly places the titanium concentrate to be dried on the surface of the placement plate 26. After proper placement, the operator slides the placement plate 26 back into the working box 1 along the slide rail 6. Next, the operator closes the insulated door 4 tightly to the working box 1 again using handle 9. Finally, the operator sets the required drying time for the titanium concentrate using the PLC controller 27. After completion, the operator uses the PLC controller 27 to start the two hot air generators 22. Once operational, the hot air generators 22 quickly generate hot air, which is then delivered through the air inlet pipe 24 to two air diffusers 25 located at the top and bottom of the inner side of the working chamber 1. The two air diffusers 25 evenly deliver hot air from both above and below to the titanium concentrate on the placement plate 26, performing comprehensive drying of the titanium concentrate. Simultaneously, the PLC controller 27 controls the opening of two single-way solenoid valves 32, respectively installed on the left side of the air outlet pipe 31 and at the top of the limit box 34. This ensures the hot air is in full contact with the titanium concentrate. During the process, the moisture on the surface of the titanium concentrate is removed, forming hot air containing water vapor. Guided by the exhaust pipe 31 and connecting pipe 33, this hot air enters the limiting box 34. Upon entering the limiting box 34, the hot air rises due to its upward characteristic and comes into full contact with the three moisture-absorbing plates 35 inside the limiting box 34. The moisture-absorbing cloth 12 inside the moisture-absorbing plates 35 efficiently absorbs the water vapor contained in the hot air, effectively drying it. The dried hot air, guided by the return pipe 37, re-enters the working box 1 to continue drying the titanium concentrate inside the working box 1. The temperature inside the working chamber 1 is increased in one step to promote the continuous drying process. At the same time, during the hot air circulation, the heat carried by the air itself will continuously dry and dehumidify the absorbent cloth 12, so that the absorbent cloth 12 can restore its moisture absorption performance and be reused. Finally, when the PLC controller 27 detects that the preset drying time has been reached, it will turn off the hot air generator 22 and the single-way solenoid valve 32. At this time, the operator will hold the handle 9 again, open the insulation door 4, slide the placement plate 26 out of the working chamber 1 along the slide rail 6, and take out the dried titanium concentrate. This completes the entire drying operation process.

[0046] 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.
