Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying mechanism technology, specifically a molecular sieve forming and drying mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Molecular sieves are aluminosilicate compounds with a cubic crystal lattice. They possess a uniform microporous structure with consistent pore diameter. These pores adsorb molecules smaller than their diameter and preferentially adsorb polar and unsaturated molecules, thus separating molecules with different polarities, saturation levels, sizes, and boiling points. This "sieving" effect is characteristic of molecular sieves. Due to their high adsorption capacity and strong thermal stability, which are unmatched by other adsorbents, molecular sieves have found wide applications.

[0003] In the production process of molecular sieves, drying is necessary to remove the adsorbed moisture. This is done using a drying mechanism. The existing drying process involves placing the molecular sieves in a drying chamber and then using a hot air blower to introduce hot air into the chamber. The hot air carries away the adsorbed moisture from the molecular sieves, discharging it through the chamber's exhaust pipe into an external duct, and finally releasing it into the outdoor air. Because molecular sieves are granular, during drying, some particles accumulate, remaining in close proximity to the heat source for an extended period, leading to over-drying and damage. Conversely, particles further away from the heat source may not dry completely. Therefore, a molecular sieve forming and drying mechanism is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model discloses a molecular sieve forming and drying mechanism. The technical solution adopted includes a drying box, a door hinged to the front of the drying box, an exhaust pipe at the top of the drying box, a hot air blower on the left side of the drying box, the output port of the hot air blower being connected to the interior of the drying box, a control host on the left side of the drying box, the control host being electrically connected to the hot air blower, a motor on the top of the drying box, and the motor being electrically connected to the control host; a drying drum is arranged inside the drying box, with air passage holes evenly distributed on the surface of the drying drum, and a feed pipe that is sealed by a lid is provided at the top of the drying drum. The feed pipe extends from the top of the drying chamber, and the bottom of the drying drum is equipped with a discharge port that can be sealed by closing the lid. Inside the drying drum, a rotating shaft is installed from top to bottom. The rotating shaft is connected to the output shaft of a motor, and a spiral lifting plate is installed on the rotating shaft. The molecular sieve is carried inside the drying drum, and external hot air enters through the air vents of the drying drum, thereby removing the moisture from the molecular sieve. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn causes the spiral lifting plate to lift the molecular sieve at the bottom, scattering it at the highest point. This forms a circulation of the molecular sieve inside the drying drum, preventing some of the molecular sieve from being in contact with the heat source for a long time, and increasing the drying rate of the molecular sieve.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution of the molecular sieve forming and drying mechanism of this utility model, an electric heating tube electrically connected to the control host is provided on the inner wall of the drying box, and the interior of the drying box is heated by the electric heating tube.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the molecular sieve forming and drying mechanism of this utility model, a clamp is provided on the output shaft of the motor, and a locking block is provided at the top of the rotating shaft. The locking block and the clamp cooperate with each other and are connected by bolts. By setting the locking block and the clamp, the rotating shaft and the motor output shaft can be separated.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the molecular sieve forming and drying mechanism of this utility model, a support seat is provided on the inner side of the drying box, and an mounting ear is provided on the side of the drying barrel. The mounting ear is located above the support seat and is connected to the support seat by bolts. By setting the support seat and the mounting ear, the drying barrel can be separated from the inside of the drying box, which facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the drying barrel.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the molecular sieve forming and drying mechanism of this utility model, the feed pipe and the drying barrel are connected by screws, and the drying barrel can be easily separated from the drying box through the detachable feed pipe.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the molecular sieve forming and drying mechanism of this utility model, the drying box is provided with an air guide plate, which is located below the drying barrel. The air guide plate is hollow inside and is connected to the output port of the hot air blower. An air outlet is opened on the upper surface of the air guide plate, with the air outlet facing the drying barrel. Through the air guide hole on the air guide plate, the hot air input by the hot air blower can be guided so that it can be blown completely towards the drying barrel, avoiding turbulence and heat source waste.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses the interior of the drying drum to support the molecular sieve. External hot air enters through the air vents of the drying drum, carrying away moisture from the molecular sieve. A motor drives the rotating shaft, causing the spiral lifting plate to lift the molecular sieve at the bottom, scattering it at the highest point. This creates a circulation of the molecular sieve within the drying drum, preventing some of the molecular sieve from prolonged contact with the heat source and increasing the drying rate. Electric heating elements provide supplemental heating to the inside of the drying chamber. The rotating shaft and motor output shaft can be separated by locking blocks and clamps. The drying drum can be separated from the drying chamber by a support base and mounting ears, facilitating cleaning and maintenance. A detachable feed pipe allows for easy separation of the drying drum from the drying chamber. Air guide holes on the air guide plate direct the hot air input from the hot air blower, ensuring it is directed entirely towards the drying drum and preventing turbulence that could waste heat.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] Example 1

[0018] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a molecular sieve forming and drying mechanism. The technical solution includes a drying chamber 1, with a door 101 hinged to the front. An exhaust pipe 102 is installed on the upper part of the drying chamber 1. A hot air blower 2 is installed on the left side of the drying chamber 1, with its output port connected to the interior of the drying chamber 1. A control unit 3 is installed on the left side of the drying chamber 1, electrically connected to the hot air blower 2. A motor 103 is installed on the top of the drying chamber 1, electrically connected to the control unit 3. An electric heating tube 104, electrically connected to the control unit 3, is installed on the inner wall of the drying chamber 1 to supplement the heat inside the drying chamber 1. A drying drum 4 is installed inside the drying chamber 1. The surface of the drying drum 4 is evenly provided with air vents. A feed pipe 401, which is sealed by a lid, is located at the top of the drying drum 4 and extends from the top of the drying chamber 1. A discharge port 402, also sealed by a lid, is located at the bottom of the drying drum 4. Inside the drying drum 4, a rotating shaft 5 is rotatably mounted from top to bottom. The rotating shaft 5 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 103. A spiral lifting plate 501 is mounted on the rotating shaft 5. A clamp 105 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 103. A locking block 502 is located at the top of the rotating shaft 5. The locking block 502 and the clamp 105 cooperate with each other and are connected by bolts. By setting the locking block 502 and the clamp 105, the rotating shaft 5 and the output of the motor 103 can be connected. The shaft is separated by a bearing seat 106 on the inner side of the drying chamber 1 and a mounting ear 403 on the side of the drying drum 4. The mounting ear 403 is located above the bearing seat 106 and connected to the bearing seat 106 by bolts. By setting the bearing seat 106 and the mounting ear 403, the drying drum 4 can be separated from the inside of the drying chamber 1, which facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the drying drum 4. The feed pipe 401 is connected to the drying drum 4 by screws. The detachable feed pipe 401 facilitates the separation of the drying drum 4 from the drying chamber 1. The drying chamber 1 is equipped with an air guide plate 201, which is located below the drying drum 4. The air guide plate 201 is hollow inside. The air guide plate 201 connects with the hot air blower 2. The outlet is connected, and the upper surface of the air guide plate 201 has an air outlet hole facing the drying barrel 4. Through the air guide hole on the air guide plate 201, the hot air input by the hot air blower 2 can be guided so that it can be blown completely towards the drying barrel 4, avoiding turbulence and heat source waste. The molecular sieve is carried inside the drying barrel 4. External hot air enters the interior of the drying barrel 4 through the air passage hole, thereby removing the moisture from the molecular sieve. The motor 103 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, which in turn causes the spiral lifting plate 501 to lift the molecular sieve at the bottom, scattering it at the highest point, forming a circulation of the molecular sieve inside the drying barrel 4. This avoids some molecular sieve from being in contact with the heat source for a long time, and at the same time increases the drying rate of the molecular sieve.

[0019] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The exhaust pipe 102 is connected to an external guide pipe to direct the discharge of hot and humid air generated during drying. The feed pipe 401 is opened, and the molecular sieve to be dried is added into the drying chamber 4. After addition, the feed pipe 401 is closed, the electric heating element 104 is activated to heat the interior of the drying chamber 1, and the hot air blower 2 is activated to input hot air into the drying chamber 1. Simultaneously, the motor 103 is started.

[0020] The spiral lifting plate 501 circulates the molecular sieve inside the drying barrel 4. Hot air is blown onto the molecular sieve through the air passage of the drying barrel 4, carrying away the moisture on the molecular sieve and discharging it from the exhaust pipe 102. After drying is completed, the chamber door 101 is opened and the discharge port 402 is opened to discharge the molecular sieve inside the drying barrel 4.
