[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] Example:
[0020] The accompanying drawings illustrate a specific embodiment of a high-efficiency dryer for the continuous feeding and discharging of sodium diacetate according to this invention. Figure 1 It mainly includes a screw conveyor 1, with a feed hopper 2 at the feed end of the screw conveyor 1 and a drying chamber 3 connected to the discharge end of the screw conveyor 1. The material is fed into the feed hopper 2 and conveyed to the drying chamber 3 by the screw conveyor 1 for drying.
[0021] Combination Figure 2 The feed hopper 2 includes a conical hopper body 201, with a discharge pipe 202 at the bottom of the conical hopper body 201, which is connected to the screw conveyor 1. The inner wall of the feed hopper 2 is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene to eliminate material adhesion. Ultrasonic transducers 4 are symmetrically installed on the outer walls of both sides of the conical hopper body 201. The high-frequency micro-vibrations emitted by the ultrasonic transducers 4 can disrupt the material arch structure and prevent material blockage. The outer wall of the discharge pipe 202 is provided with a nitrogen injection port 5, and the discharge pipe 202 is provided with an annular air inlet chamber 6. The outer side of the annular air inlet chamber 6 is connected to the nitrogen injection port 5. The inner wall of the discharge pipe 202 is provided with a ring of several air distribution holes 7 connected to the annular air inlet chamber 6. The air distribution holes 7 are set at an angle downward. Dry nitrogen can be introduced through the nitrogen injection port 5. The dry nitrogen is evenly distributed to each air distribution hole 7 through the annular air inlet chamber 6 and injected into the discharge pipe 202. This can isolate moisture, reduce the viscosity of the material, and further achieve anti-clogging.
[0022] The screw conveyor 1 conveys the material upwards into the drying chamber 3. The drying chamber 3 is equipped with a receiving plate 8, onto which the material falls. Above the receiving plate 8 is a cross-shaped rotating scraper 9, which has four perforated scrapers. Each scraper has several side holes 9a. The distance between two adjacent side holes 9a on the scraper gradually decreases from the inner end to the outer end, forming a gradient material distribution area. This means the hole density on the cross-shaped rotating scraper 9 increases from the inside out, preventing material accumulation at the edges and achieving uniform material distribution during rotation. The bottom of the cross-shaped rotating scraper 9 is equipped with scraper teeth 10, which forcibly break up clumps. The scraper teeth 10 are ceramic and have an anti-sticking function.
[0023] The cross-shaped rotating scraper 9 is driven by the motor 14 and rotatably mounted on the support frame 15. The top of the drying chamber 3 is equipped with a lifting cylinder 16 that connects to drive the support frame 15 to rise and fall. The lifting cylinder 16 can drive the support frame 15 to move the cross-shaped rotating scraper 9 up and down, thereby controlling the thickness of the material layer. The motor 14 can drive the cross-shaped rotating scraper 9 to rotate, and the speed of the cross-shaped rotating scraper 9 is adjustable to ensure uniform material distribution.
[0024] The drying chamber 3 is equipped with an air inlet plate 17 and an air outlet plate 18 on both sides. The air inlet plate 17 is connected to the hot air inlet pipe 3a, and the air outlet plate 18 is connected to the hot air outlet pipe 3b. Through uniform air blowing, combined with the rotation of the cross-shaped rotating scraper 9, the material can be dried efficiently.
[0025] The receiving plate 8 is embedded in the inner wall of the drying chamber 3, and the drying chamber 3 is provided with a sealing gasket 19 that contacts the upper surface edge of the receiving plate 8. The receiving plate 8 is connected to the bottom of the drying chamber 3 by a spring 11, which presses the receiving plate 8 against the sealing gasket 19 to ensure the airtightness of the upper space when the material is drying.
[0026] A vibration motor 12 is provided at the bottom of the receiving plate 8. A pressing cylinder 13 is provided on the drying chamber 3 for pressing down one end of the receiving plate 8. The pressing cylinder 13 is located at the top of the drying chamber 3. The output shaft of the pressing cylinder 13 extends into the drying chamber 3 and is connected to a pressure rod 20. The pressure rod 20 is used to contact the pressing receiving plate 8. The drying chamber 3 on the side of the pressing end of the receiving plate 8 is also provided with a discharge port 3c for discharging materials.
[0027] Combination Figure 3 After the material is dried, the pressure cylinder 13 drives the pressure rod 20 to extend downwards, pressing one end of the receiving plate 8 downwards. The spring 11 is compressed, and then the vibration motor 12 is started. The dried material is evenly distributed with vibration and moves towards the discharge port 3c, finally being output from the discharge port 3c. After the material is discharged, the vibration motor 12 is turned off, the pressure rod 20 is reset, and the receiving plate 8 is pressed against the sealing gasket 19 under the action of the spring 11, preparing for the next drying cycle.
[0028] Of course, the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the main technical solution of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
