The mounting plate 9 is located at the installation port of the storage box 1. The mesh frame 8 contains desiccant. The second handle 10 is installed at the rear end of the mounting plate 9. The fixing post 11 is installed on the upper right side of the rear end of the storage box 1. The limiting rod 12 is rotatably installed at the rear end of the fixed column 11. The limiting rod 12 is engaged with the mounting plate 9. The top of the limiting rod 12 has a through hole, and the bolt 13 is located in the through hole of the limiting rod 12. The storage box 1 on the upper and right sides of the fixed column 11 is provided with threaded grooves, and the bolt 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded grooves on the storage box 1. After opening the cover plate 3, the rare earth is introduced into the storage box 1 through the feed pipe 2. Then, the cover plate 3 is installed on the feed pipe 2, so that the two sets of buckles 4 are engaged with the cover plate 3. Then, the two sets of first handles 6 drive the two sets of pins 5 to engage with the two sets of slots on the cover plate 3, thereby limiting the two sets of buckles 4. Then, the mesh frame is placed. The desiccant in the storage box 8 dehumidifies and dries the storage box 1. When the desiccant in the storage box 8 needs to be replaced, loosen the bolt 13, rotate the limiting rod 12 so that the bolt 13 corresponds to the other threaded groove of the storage box 1, and rotate the bolt 13. The bolt 13 is then threadedly connected to the other threaded groove of the storage box 1, thereby fixing the limiting rod 12. At this time, the limiting rod 12 is separated from the mounting plate 9. Then, the mounting plate 9 and the storage box 8 are taken out of the storage box 1 through the second handle 10.

By setting the heating rods 16, temperature sensors 17, and controllers 18, the multiple sets of heating rods 16 heat the rare earth in the storage tank 1 according to its requirements. The temperature sensors 17 detect the temperature of the rare earth. When the temperature sensors 17 detect that the temperature of the rare earth exceeds or falls below a set value, the temperature sensors 17 transmit the data to the controllers 18.

During operation, firstly, the cover plate 3 is opened, and rare earth is introduced into the storage tank 1 through the feed pipe 2. Then, the cover plate 3 is installed on the feed pipe 2, causing two sets of latches 4 to engage with the cover plate 3. Next, two sets of first handles 6 drive two sets of pins 5 to engage with two sets of slots on the cover plate 3, thereby limiting the position of the two sets of latches 4. Then, the desiccant placed in the mesh frame 8 dehumidifies and dries the storage tank 1. When it is necessary to replace the desiccant in the mesh frame 8, loosen the bolt 13 and rotate the limiting rod 12. Bolt 13 corresponds to another threaded groove in storage box 1. By rotating bolt 13, bolt 13 is threadedly connected to another threaded groove in storage box 1, thereby fixing limit rod 12. At this time, limit rod 12 is separated from mounting plate 9. Then, the mounting plate 9 and the placement mesh frame 8 are taken out of storage box 1 through the second handle 10. Then, the desiccant in the placement mesh frame 8 is replaced. By turning on motor 14, motor 14 drives stirring rack 15 to rotate. Stirring rack 15 stirs the rare earth in storage box 1. Multiple heating rods 16 control the temperature of rare earth.
