[0003] Existing plastic granule cooling and drying equipment mostly employs a single cooling or drying method, resulting in low efficiency and difficulty in meeting the demands of large-scale production. In some cases, insufficient contact between the plastic granules and the cooling medium or drying gas during the cooling and drying process leads to uneven cooling and drying effects, affecting the quality of the plastic granules and hindering the long-term development and economic benefits of enterprises. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-efficiency, energy-saving plastic granule cooling and drying equipment with excellent cooling and drying performance. Utility Model Content

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 A cooling and drying device for plastic granules includes a drying outer cylinder 1 and a partitioned inner cover 6 disposed inside the drying outer cylinder 1. A feeding area is provided below the partitioned inner cover 6 and a discharging area is provided above the partitioned inner cover 6. A plastic granule lifting mechanism and an air cooling mechanism are provided in the feeding area. A base 7 is fixedly provided at the bottom inside the drying outer cylinder 1.
[0024] A feed pipe 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the drying outer cylinder 1, extending into the feeding area to transport plastic granules. During use, the plastic granules enter the feeding area through the feed pipe 2, which is fixedly connected to one side of the drying outer cylinder 1 and extends into the feeding area. A check valve is installed at the output end of the feed pipe 2 to prevent backflow of granules and air, ensuring the stability and directionality of the granule transport.
[0025] The plastic pellet lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 8, which is fixedly connected to a base 7. A rotating shaft 9 is coaxially mounted inside the lifting cylinder 8, and a spiral lifting plate 10 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 9. The bottom of the lifting cylinder 8 extends into the base 7. Multiple feeding troughs 13 are provided between the top surface of the base 7 (outside the lifting cylinder 8) and the bottom end inside the lifting cylinder 8. The bottom of the lifting cylinder 8 is connected to the feeding area through the feeding troughs 13. A drive motor 12 is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the base 7, and the output shaft of the drive motor 12 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9. During operation, the drive motor 12 fixed at the bottom end of the base 7 starts, and its output shaft drives the spiral lifting plate 10, coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9, to rotate inside the lifting cylinder 8. Plastic pellets entering the feeding area enter the lifting cylinder 8 through the feeding troughs 13 on the base 7, and then rise along the lifting cylinder 8 under the action of the spiral lifting plate 10. To prevent the plastic granules from rolling off during the lifting process, multiple baffles 11 are spaced apart on the spiral lifting plate 10 to block the plastic granules during the lifting process, ensuring that the granules can be lifted smoothly and fully contact the cold air during the lifting process to achieve cooling and drying.
[0026] An annular pipe 14 is fixedly installed in the feeding zone. An air inlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the annular pipe 14 and extends to the outside of the drying outer cylinder 1. The air inlet pipe 3 is connected to an external low-temperature air source. During the lifting process of the plastic granules, the annular pipe 14 fixed in the feeding zone introduces the external low-temperature air source through the air inlet pipe 3. The low-temperature gas is ejected from the annular pipe 14 to cool the rising plastic granules, forming the air-cooling mechanism of the equipment and effectively reducing the temperature of the plastic granules.
[0027] A discharge guide chute 16 is provided in the discharge zone, located between the inner partition cover 6 and the outer drying cylinder 1. The discharge guide chute 16 is spiral-shaped, and a discharge pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the discharge guide chute 16, extending to the outside of the outer drying cylinder 1. The cooled plastic granules rise to the top of the inner partition cover 6, which has an inclined surface. Circularly distributed baffles 15 are fixed on the inclined surface. When the plastic granules rise to the top of the inner partition cover 6, the inclined surface, in conjunction with the baffles 15, collides with the plastic granules, causing them to separate and preventing adhesion. This further improves the cooling and drying effect of the plastic granules. The plastic granules then smoothly enter the spiral discharge guide chute 16 in the discharge zone, slide within the chute, and are finally discharged through the discharge pipe 4.
[0028] In addition, an exhaust pipe 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the drying outer cylinder 1. During equipment operation, the hot and humid gas generated during the drying process is discharged through the exhaust pipe 5 fixed on the top of the drying outer cylinder 1, forming a good gas circulation and ensuring efficient and stable operation of the equipment.
[0029] When implementing this utility model, the equipment is first started, and external plastic particles enter the feeding area through the feed pipe 2. Due to the function of the check valve at the output end of the feed pipe 2, the particles will not flow back.
[0030] At this time, the drive motor 12 at the bottom of the base 7 starts, driving the rotating shaft 9 to rotate the spiral lifting plate 10 inside the lifting cylinder 8. The plastic particles enter the lifting cylinder 8 through the feed chute 13 and rise along the lifting cylinder 8 under the action of the spiral lifting plate 10 and the baffle plate 11.
[0031] Meanwhile, the air intake pipe 3 is connected to an external low-temperature gas source, and the low-temperature gas is ejected through the annular pipe 14 to cool the plastic particles during the upward process.
[0032] After cooling, the plastic granules rise to the top of the inner partition cover 6, where they separate from each other under the action of its inclined surface and the baffle 15. They then enter the discharge guide 16, slide along the spiral discharge guide 16, and are finally discharged from the equipment through the discharge pipe 4.
[0033] Throughout the process, the hot and humid gas generated during drying is discharged through exhaust pipe 5, ensuring a good gas circulation environment inside the equipment and ensuring that the equipment continuously, efficiently and stably cools and dries the plastic granules.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
