[0013] In this invention, a fan is used to deliver external air into the heater for heating. The heated airflow is then transported through a pipe into an air pump, which in turn delivers the hot airflow through the pipe into the air inlet. From there, it enters the air duct inside the dryer. Because the annular fan blades are located inside the air duct and are tilted, the hot airflow, pressurized by the air pump, rotates as it passes downwards through the annular fan blades. The tilted blades continuously change the direction of the hot airflow, resulting in a more even distribution of heat within the dryer. This ensures consistent drying of the material, improves product quality stability, and solves the problem of insufficient heat exchange in certain areas. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Reference Figure 1-5A spray drying and granulation device for concrete admixtures includes a dryer 1.

A centrifugal atomizer 11 is located on the top of the dryer 1, and an air pump 10 is located on one side of the centrifugal atomizer 11. An air duct 12 is located on the top surface inside the dryer 1. The surface of the air duct 12 is provided with a movable groove 13, and the bottom of the movable groove 13 is provided with a fixed frame 14. The interior of the air duct 12 is provided with an annular fan blade 15, and the exterior of the annular fan blade 15 is provided with four pulleys 16. The surface of the annular fan blade 15 is provided with two supports 17, and one side of each of the two supports 17 is provided with a brush plate 18. The surface of each of the two brush plates 18 is provided with vertically arranged bristles 19. The centrifugal atomizer 11 is installed on the top surface of the dryer 1 and is bolted to the dryer 1. The bottom end of the centrifugal atomizer 11 penetrates into the interior of the dryer 1, and the liquid inlet 2 is connected to the centrifugal atomizer 11. The four bottom... A frame 5 is installed on the bottom surface of the dryer 1 and welded to the dryer 1. Both ends of a mounting frame 6 are mounted on the surfaces of the two base frames 5. A controller 7 is installed on the surface of the mounting frame 6 and bolted to it. A fan 8 is installed on the bottom surface of the heater 9 and connected to its flange. The heater 9 is connected to the air pump 10 via a pipe, and the air pump 10 is connected to the air inlet 4 of the dryer 1 via a pipe. The air pump 10 is installed on the top surface of the dryer 1 and bolted to it. The air inlet 4 of the dryer 1 is connected to the air duct 12. Four pulleys 16 are arranged in a circular array. Outside the annular fan blade 15, and with pulleys 16 axially connected to the annular fan blade 15, four pulleys 16 are all set in the movable groove 13, and the pulleys 16 are all installed on the top surface of the fixed frame 14. The annular fan blade 15 is fixed inside the air duct 12 through the fixed frame 14, and the fixed frame 14 is bolted to the top surface inside the dryer 1. Two supports 17 are set in a mirror image with the annular fan blade 15 as the center, and the supports 17 and the annular fan blade 15 are integrally formed. Two brush plates 18 are installed on the surface of the two supports 17, and the brush plates 18 are threadedly connected to the supports 17. The two brush plates 18 are bonded to the bristles 19 on the surface.
[0025] During the operation of the centrifugal atomizing dryer 1, the concrete admixture solution is injected through the inlet 2 and then enters the centrifugal atomizer 11 through the flow channel of the dryer 1. The centrifugal atomizer 11 rotates at high speed driven by a motor, using centrifugal force to disperse the solution into tiny droplets. The droplet size is affected by factors such as the equipment rotation speed, solution viscosity, and surface tension. Smaller droplets significantly increase the contact area with hot air, accelerating the drying rate. Simultaneously, the fan 8 draws in external air and delivers it upwards to the heater 9. The heater 9, according to its internal structure, heats the air using electric heating rods, providing hot air at a suitable temperature for the drying process. Subsequently, the air pump 10 draws in the air heated by the heater 9 and pressurizes it, giving the hot air sufficient power, and then enters the air duct 12 inside the dryer 1 through the air inlet 4. When the hot air, pressurized by the air pump 10, flows downwards through the annular fan blade 15, the impact force of the hot air drives the annular fan blade 15 to rotate. Due to the inclined structure of the fan blades, the angle of inclination is adjusted according to the actual operation of the dryer 1, continuously changing the direction of the hot airflow during rotation, thus promoting the uniform distribution of the hot airflow within the dryer 1. During this process, four pulleys 16, arranged in a circumferential array on the outside of the annular fan blades 15, slide within the movable groove 13, while the fixed frame 14 provides support and positioning. The sliding of the pulleys 16 significantly reduces the friction during the rotation of the annular fan blades 15, making their operation smoother. The bracket 17, integrally formed with the annular fan blades 15, rotates synchronously with the fan blades, driving the brush plate 18 and brush bristles mounted on it. The brush plate 18 is made of lightweight industrial plastic, reducing the rotational load. Its main function is to clean the inner wall of the air duct 12, preventing the adhesion of droplets and dried particles, and ensuring efficient flow of hot air. Once the atomized concrete admixture droplets come into full contact with the uniformly distributed hot airflow, the moisture evaporates rapidly, completing the drying and granulation process. The dried particles are discharged through the discharge port 3, entering subsequent collection and packaging processes. The entire operation of the equipment is precisely controlled by the controller 7 mounted on the mounting frame 6. The controller 7 is responsible for adjusting the speed of the fan 8, the heating temperature of the heater 9, and the speed parameters of the centrifugal atomizer 11 to ensure smooth operation of the equipment and meet production needs under different working conditions. In addition, the base frame 5 provides stable support for the entire dryer 1, ensuring that the equipment maintains a stable working height and position during operation. Specific Implementation Example 2:
[0027] Reference Figure 1-5 A concrete admixture spray drying and granulation device is further based on the basic structure in Specific Embodiment 1. The controller 7 is the control core of the entire device, which controls the operation of each electrical component through a preset program or instructions input by the operator.
[0028] The controller 7 adjusts the power of the heater 9 according to the set drying temperature to control the heating temperature. It also regulates the rotation speed of the centrifugal atomizer 11 to control the degree of droplet atomization. Based on the required flow rate of the hot air, the controller 7 adjusts the rotation speed of the fan 8, thereby controlling the amount of air entering the heater 9 and indirectly affecting the flow rate and pressure of the hot air. The operation of the air pump 10 is also controlled by the controller 7 to ensure stable output pressure, providing appropriate power for the hot air, allowing it to enter the dryer 1 according to design requirements and work in conjunction with the annular fan blades 15. Through the coordinated operation of all electrical components, the entire concrete admixture spray drying and granulation device achieves stable and efficient operation.
[0029] In summary:
[0030] 1. A fan 8 is used to deliver external air into the heater 9 for heating. The heated airflow is then delivered to the air pump 10 through a pipeline. The air pump 10 then delivers the hot airflow through the pipeline into the air inlet 4, and into the air duct 12 inside the dryer 1. Since the annular fan blade 15 is located inside the air duct 12 and the blades of the annular fan blade 15 are inclined, the hot airflow, pressurized by the air pump 10, drives the annular fan blade 15 to rotate as it passes downward. As the annular fan blade 15 rotates, the inclined blades of the annular fan blade 15 continuously change the direction of the hot airflow, thus allowing the hot airflow to be more evenly distributed inside the dryer 1. This ensures that the overall drying degree of the material is consistent, improves the stability of product quality, and solves the problem of insufficient heat exchange in some areas.
