[0023] See Figure 1 The gunpowder dryer provided by this utility model includes a drying chamber 2, a wet powder conveyor belt mechanism 1 located at the front end of the drying chamber 2, a belt assembly mechanism 6 located inside the drying chamber 2 and connected to the wet powder conveyor belt mechanism 1, a heat exchange mechanism 3 and a hot air mechanism 4, and a dry powder conveyor belt mechanism 5 located at the rear end of the drying chamber 2 and connected to the wet powder conveyor belt mechanism 1.

[0024] The wet powder conveyor belt mechanism 1 is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes a feed hopper 102 located on the front end of the drying chamber 2 and a conveyor belt 101 connected to the feed hopper 102.

[0025] The drying oven 2 is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes an insulation cover 201 for heat preservation and a vent 202 located on the top of the insulation cover 201 for ventilation.

[0026] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 The belt assembly mechanism 6 consists of multiple layers of drying belts 602 arranged in an alternating manner. Each drying belt 602 is fixed to the bracket 601 by a roller 603. One side of the roller 603 located at the front end of the drying chamber 2 is connected to the shaft of the synchronous pulley 604. Each synchronous pulley 604 is connected to the drive motor 606 through an annular synchronous belt 605 and an idler pulley 607 for tensioning the annular synchronous belt 605.

[0027] See Figure 2 —6. The heat exchange mechanism 3 includes several grid-shaped radiators 307 fixed on the support 601 and located in the middle of each layer of drying belt 602, divided into three heat exchange groups. The front and rear ends of the radiators 307 in each heat exchange group are connected by metal pipe fittings 311. The front end of the bottom radiator 307 is connected to the hot water inlet pipe 305 through the inlet branch pipe 309 and the pipe connector 308. The rear end of the top radiator 307 is connected to the pipe through the return branch pipe 310 and the pipeline. The connector (not shown in the figure) is connected to the hot water return pipe 306; the hot water inlet pipe 305 and the hot water return pipe 306 are connected to the insulated water tank 301 located outside the drying oven 2 to form a circulation pipeline. A heating rod 302 is installed inside the insulated water tank 301 and fixed to one side of the upper part of the insulated water tank 301. A water inlet valve 304 is installed on the upper part of the insulated water tank 301 to add water to the water tank. The water circulation power source 303 (water pump) that provides water circulation power for the movement of hot water in the circulation pipeline is located next to the insulated water tank 301.

[0028] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 The hot air mechanism 4 is located on one side of the drying belt 602 and includes a hot air outlet pipe 403 fixed on the bracket 601 and having air outlet holes 404 evenly distributed on one side of the drying belt 602. The hot air outlet pipe 403 is connected to a hot air blower 401 located outside the drying chamber 2 through an air inlet pipe 402.

[0029] During operation, the equipment starts up, and the heating rod 302 heats the water in the insulated water tank 301 to about 95 degrees Celsius. The water circulation power source 303 starts and pumps hot water through pipelines to the radiator 307. The hot air blower 401 starts simultaneously, sending hot air into the insulated outer cover 201 through the air inlet pipe 402 and the hot air outlet pipe 403. The conveyor belt 101 of the wet powder conveyor mechanism 1 feeds the wet powder of the single base powder through the feed hopper 102 onto the uppermost drying belt 602 of the belt assembly mechanism 6. The drive motor 2... 08. All drying belts 602 are driven simultaneously by the annular synchronous belt 207 and each synchronous pulley 206. The wet powder is conveyed from the front end to the rear end of the upper drying belt 602 and then falls into the front end of the lower drying belt 602. It passes through each drying belt 602 from top to bottom. During this process, it is heated by both the radiator 307 of the heat exchange mechanism 3 and the hot air blown out by the hot air outlet 403 of the hot air mechanism 4. The moisture it contains is evaporated and discharged through the exhaust port 202 on the top of the heat insulation cover 201. The wet powder finally falls onto the dry powder belt conveyor mechanism 5 to complete the drying of the single base powder.

[0030] When the heat exchange mechanism 3 is working, the hot water in the insulated water tank 301 is distributed to each heat exchange group through the hot water inlet pipe 305 and the inlet branch pipe 309 under the action of the water circulation power source 303. The hot water enters the front end of the bottom radiator 307 and enters the front end of each radiator 307 through the metal pipe fitting 311. Then it flows out from the rear end of each radiator 307 and finally returns to the insulated water tank 301 through the rear end of the top radiator 307 via the return branch pipe 310 and the hot water return pipe 306.
