Figures 1-7 The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] like Figures 1-7 As shown: Example
[0031] A dryer with waste heat utilization function includes a base 1, a drying cylinder 2 on the base 1, a feed inlet 3 and a discharge outlet 19 on the drying cylinder 2, a power mechanism, a flue gas inlet pipe connected to the flue gas duct of a heating furnace for collecting flue gas from the heating furnace, a platform 8 on the base 1 with a power box 10 on the platform 8, a material turning mechanism including a stirring arm 22 inside the drying cylinder 2, and a flue gas circulation mechanism including a connecting pipe 11 on the power box 10, the connecting pipe 11 passing through the drying cylinder and connected to a bearing 25, the bearing 25 being connected to a main shaft 26, the main shaft 26 being a hollow structure and connected to the stirring arm 22, and the stirring arm 22 having an air outlet 23.
[0032] In this embodiment, the drying cylinder 2 utilizes the waste heat of flue gas to dry the material. The drying cylinder 2 is equipped with an inlet 3 and an outlet 19. During the drying process, the material needs to be stirred, which is achieved through a power box 10. The power box 10 is powered by the flue gas, and the waste heat from the flue gas drives the internal mechanism to rotate. The rotation of the internal mechanism of the power box 10 drives the main shaft 26 inside the drying cylinder 2 to rotate. This design fully utilizes the waste heat effect of the flue gas. A material turning mechanism is installed inside the drying cylinder 2, including a stirring arm 22 with an air outlet 23. The material is dried using the temperature of the flue gas. Throughout the process, a flue gas circulation mechanism is required. This mechanism includes a connecting pipe 11 connected to the power box 10, with the other end of the connecting pipe 11 connected to a bearing 25. A channel is provided between the bearing 25 and the main shaft 26. Example
[0033] The power box 10 is a hollow cylindrical structure. Inside the power box 10, there is a rotating shaft coaxial with the main shaft 26. An inner ring 18 is provided on the rotating shaft. Blades 21 are provided on the outer side of the inner ring 18. The outer end of the blades 21 is connected to an outer ring 20. The power box 10 is also provided with a flue 27 for receiving flue gas input. When the flue gas enters the power box 10, it drives the blades 21 to rotate.
[0034] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the power box 10 is a hollow structure with a cylindrical shape. A rotating shaft coaxially connected to the main shaft 26 is provided in the power box 10. An inner ring 18 is fixed on the rotating shaft, and a blade 21 is provided on the inner ring 18. The blade 21 is inclined and can be driven to rotate by the entry of flue gas. Example
[0035] The flue 27 and the connecting pipe 11 are located at opposite ends of the power box 10. The power box 10 is connected to the platform 8 through the bearing 25 and is supported by the uprights.
[0036] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the flue 27 and the connecting pipe 11 need to be set at both ends. The flue 27 is used for flue gas to enter. After the flue gas passes through the power box 10, it drives the main shaft 26 to rotate. The flue gas after passing through the power box 10 enters the main shaft 26. Example
[0037] The number of blades 21 is several. A group of blades 21 connects the inner ring 18 and the outer ring 20, and several layers are arranged along the axis of rotation, which are parallel to each other. The blades 21 and the inner ring 18 drive the axis of rotation to rotate.
[0038] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the inner ring 18, the blade 21 and the outer ring 20 are fixedly arranged to form a whole. There are several of these wholes arranged in parallel to each other, which can achieve a strong driving force to drive the main shaft 26 to rotate. Example
[0039] The stirring arm 22 is a pipe structure and is fixedly connected to the main shaft 26. The main shaft 26 is provided with a flue 27, which is a groove structure. An air inlet 28 is provided inside the flue 27. The flue 27 connects to the internal channel of the main shaft 26 and to the stirring arm 22. The main shaft 26 is provided with a rotating protrusion 29, which is connected to a bearing 25. The bearing 25 is fixed on the drying cylinder 2. The other end of the connecting pipe 11 is connected to the bearing 25 at the position corresponding to the flue 27 and is connected to the flue 27 for conveying flue gas into the flue 27.
[0040] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the stirring arm 22 is designed as a pipe, and the stirring arm 22 is connected to the main shaft 26. One end of the main shaft 26 is connected to the bearing 25. A rotating protrusion 29 is provided on the main shaft 26, and the bearing 25 is connected through the rotating protrusion 29. In addition, a flue 27 is provided on the main shaft 26. The flue 27 is an annular groove structure. An air inlet 28 is provided in the flue 27. After the flue gas enters through the air inlet 28, it comes out from the stirring arm 22. Example
[0041] The base 1 is provided with a discharge mechanism, which includes a screw 6 mounted on the base 1. The screw 6 is horizontally positioned, and its two ends are connected by bearing seats 25. One end of the screw 6 is connected to a motor 17 fixed on the base 1 and rotates under the drive of the motor 17. A moving block 16 is provided on the screw 6, and the moving block 16 is threadedly connected to the screw 6. A swing arm is hinged to the moving block 16, and the upper end of the swing arm is hinged to the bottom of the drying cylinder 2. A guide rod 5 is also provided at the bottom of the drying cylinder 2. The guide rod 5 is inserted into the base 1 and slidably connected to the base 1.
[0042] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, after the material is dried, it is quickly discharged through the discharge mechanism. Specifically, a bearing 25 seat is provided on the machine base 1, and a screw 6 is connected to the bearing 25 seat. A movable block 16 is provided on the screw 6, and both are threadedly connected to the screw 6. The threads on the screw 6 are in opposite directions. There are two movable blocks 16. After the screw 6 rotates, the movable blocks 16 move simultaneously towards the middle or away from both ends. The movable blocks 16 are hinged to the bottom of the drying cylinder 2. When discharging, one end of the drying cylinder 2 can be lowered to facilitate material discharge. Example
[0043] A fixing rod 13 is provided on the drying cylinder 2, and a fixing block 12 is sleeved on the fixing rod 13. The fixing block 12 is connected to a receiving plate 4. The upper end of the receiving plate 4 is connected to a tilting mechanism. The tilting mechanism includes a pull rope 14 connected to the receiving plate 4. The pull rope 14 is connected to a steering wheel 15, and passes through the steering wheel 15 and is connected to a moving block 16. The receiving plate 4 is located below the discharge port 19 and is used to receive the dried material.
[0044] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the tilting mechanism is automatic. When it is necessary to tilt the material, the moving block 16 moves while the pull rope 14 is released. At this time, the receiving plate 4 tilts more, which facilitates the discharge of material. Example
[0045] The drying cylinder 2 is provided with cylinder cover 24 at both ends, and the connecting pipe 11 passes through the cylinder cover 24 and is connected to the bearing 25. The base 1 is fixedly connected to the support frame 7, and the platform 8 is set on the support frame 7.
[0046] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the cylinder cover 24 and the drying cylinder 2 are fixedly connected, which serves as support and sealing. In addition, after the flue gas passes through the drying cylinder 2, the preheating can be basically used up, and then it can be purified by water treatment.
[0047] The working method (or working principle) of this invention:
[0048] In operation, the inlet pipe 9 is connected to the flue gas duct of the heating furnace via a flexible hose. After the high-temperature flue gas enters the power box 10 through the inlet pipe 9, the blades 21 are tilted, and the high-temperature flue gas drives the blades 21 to rotate. After the blades 21 rotate, they drive the inner ring 18 and the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft and the main shaft 26 are coaxially connected. Therefore, the main shaft 26 in the drying cylinder 2 also rotates together. The flue gas after passing through the power box 10 enters the bearing 25 in the drying cylinder 2 under the action of the connecting pipe 11. The bearing 25 is provided with a hole for connecting to the connecting pipe 11. The position of this hole corresponds to the flue duct 27. So after the flue gas passes through the flue duct 27, it enters the interior of the main shaft 26 through the air inlet 28, and then exits through the air outlet 23 on the stirring arm 22, which simultaneously stirs and dries the material. This method can fully realize the contact between the waste heat of the flue gas and the material.
[0049] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two elements or an interaction between two elements. Unless otherwise explicitly limited, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0050] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
