[0002] Alloy powder is a powder with metallic properties composed of two or more metallic elements, or metallic and non-metallic elements. Cobalt-chromium alloy powder is mainly composed of cobalt and chromium, and often contains elements such as molybdenum and tungsten. It has high strength, high hardness, good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and excellent biocompatibility. It is widely used in dental restoration, orthopedic implants, aerospace and other fields, and is an important basic material for high-end manufacturing and medical industries.

[0003] Existing vacuum drying equipment for alloy powder production mainly consists of a drying chamber, a heating system, and a vacuum system. The drying chamber holds the alloy powder to be dried, the heating system provides heat for drying, and the vacuum system removes air from the drying chamber to create a vacuum environment. In this vacuum environment, the boiling point of water is lowered, causing the moisture in the alloy powder to evaporate at a lower temperature. Simultaneously, the heating system provides heat to accelerate the vaporization of moisture, thereby achieving the drying of the alloy powder.

[0004] Existing vacuum drying equipment used for alloy powder production produces alloy powder that is not fully dispersed and clumps together, affecting product quality. Therefore, a new vacuum drying equipment for alloy powder production is proposed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, the starting motor 2 drives the helical gear 1 to rotate, and the rotation of the helical gear 1 drives the helical gear 2 to rotate.

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides an embodiment of a vacuum drying device for alloy powder production, comprising a drying chamber 4, a motor 5 fixedly connected to the top of the drying chamber 4, the motor 5 providing rotational power, a rotating rod 6 fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 5, the rotating rod 6 rotating synchronously with the motor 5, a filter screen 8 slidably connected to the outside of the rotating rod 6, the filter screen 8 moving axially on the rotating rod 6, a protective shell 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 6, a motor 10 fixedly connected inside the protective shell 9, the motor 10 fixedly installed inside the protective shell 9 providing power, a helical gear 11 fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 10, the helical gear 11 rotating with the motor 10, and a rotating shaft 13 rotatably connected inside the protective shell 9, the rotating shaft 13 rotating freely within the protective shell 9, serving as an intermediate component for power transmission. A helical gear 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of shaft 13. Helical gear 12 meshes with helical gear 11, transmitting the power of motor 10 to shaft 13 and changing the transmission direction. Helical gear 11 and helical gear 12 are meshed, converting the rotational motion of motor 10 into the rotational motion of shaft 13. Cams 14 are fixedly connected to both ends of shaft 13. The fixed ends ensure that cams 14 rotate synchronously with shaft 13. The eccentric structure of cams 14 generates periodic undulating motion during rotation. Filter screen 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of drying chamber 4. The outside of cam 14 contacts the bottom of filter screen 8. The rotational motion of cam 14 is converted into the up-and-down vibration of filter screen 8. A cleaning component is fixedly connected to the outside of rotating rod 6. During rotation, the cleaning component mechanically scrapes the inner wall of drying chamber 4 to remove the attached alloy powder.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 The cleaning assembly includes a fixed rod 15, to which a motor 16 is fixedly connected, providing power. A gear 17 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 16, rotating synchronously with the motor. A sliding plate 19 is slidably connected inside the fixed rod 15, reciprocating linearly within the fixed rod 15 to guide and support the movement of the scraper 20. A rack 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding plate 19, meshing with the gear 17. The rack 18 engages with the gear 17, thus moving the gear 17... The rotational motion is converted into the linear motion of the sliding plate 19. A scraper 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding plate 19. The scraper 20 moves synchronously with the sliding plate 19. Multiple stirring plates 7 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 6. The stirring plates 7 rotate synchronously with the rotating rod 6. When the multiple stirring plates 7 rotate, they fully stir the alloy powder in the drying chamber 4, increasing the fluidity of the powder and the uniformity of heating. The outside of the scraper 20 is in contact with the inner wall of the drying chamber 4. The scraper 20 can effectively scrape off the powder attached to the inner wall of the drying chamber 4, preventing the powder from accumulating and affecting the drying effect.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 A heating tube 3 is installed outside the drying chamber 4, surrounding the drying chamber 4 and evenly transferring heat to the interior of the drying chamber 4 through heat conduction, providing the necessary thermal energy for drying the alloy powder. A shell 1 is fixedly connected to the outside of the heating tube 3, protecting it and reducing heat loss, thus improving thermal efficiency. A fixing ring 26 is fixedly connected to the outside of the shell 1, with support pillars 27 fixedly connected around the bottom of the fixing ring 26. These support pillars 27 support the device on the ground, ensuring overall stability. A heater 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the shell 1, with the heating tube 3 fixedly connected inside the heater 2. 2 provides electrical energy to the heating tube 3 and controls the heating power to regulate the drying temperature. A vacuum pump 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the drying chamber 4. The vacuum pump 25 extracts the air from the drying chamber 4 to form a vacuum environment, which lowers the boiling point of water and accelerates the drying process. An exhaust pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the outside of the outer shell 1. The exhaust pipe 23 serves as a channel for the discharge of water vapor and gas generated during the drying process. A feed inlet 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the drying chamber 4, and a discharge outlet 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drying chamber 4. One-way valves 24 are fixedly connected to the outside of the feed inlet 22, the discharge outlet 21, and the exhaust pipe 23. The one-way valves 24 control the feeding and discharging of alloy powder and control the discharge of gas.

[0035] Working principle: Alloy powder is fed into the drying chamber 4 through the feed inlet 22. The vacuum pump 25 then evacuates the drying chamber 4 to a vacuum state. The heater 2 is activated to transfer heat to the drying chamber 4 through the heating tube 3. The motor 5 drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring plate 7 to stir the alloy powder in the drying chamber 4, ensuring uniform heating. After the alloy powder is dried, the motor 10 drives the helical gear 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the helical gear 12 to rotate. Therefore, the helical gear 12 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn causes the cams 14 on both sides of the rotating shaft 13 to rotate. The filter screen 8, which is in contact with the cams 14, vibrates up and down on the inner wall of the drying chamber 4 as the cams 14 rotate. The alloy powder in the drying chamber 4 will pass through the filter screen 8 and enter the discharge port 21. Some clumps of alloy powder will be broken up when the filter screen 8 comes into contact with the stirring plate 7, thus preventing clumps of alloy powder from being discharged.

[0036] Motor 16 drives gear 17 to rotate, and gear 17 meshes with rack 18. Rack 18 is fixed to sliding plate 19, so the rotation of gear 17 causes sliding plate 19 to slide along the inner wall of fixed rod 15 until scraper 20 contacts the inner wall of drying chamber 4. Under the rotation of rotating rod 6 driven by motor 5, scraper 20 cleans the inner wall of drying chamber 4. This also prevents alloy powder from adhering to the inner wall of drying chamber 4 during the drying process, affecting the heat transfer of heating tube 3 and thus reducing drying efficiency. After cleaning, scraper 20 can be retracted by motor 16 to avoid constant contact with the inner wall of drying chamber 4 and extend the service life of scraper 20. Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
