[0002] During the production of fuels such as coal and coke, crushing is carried out to obtain target fuel particles that meet the particle size requirements. Particle size detection is performed during the crushing process. When the moisture content of the particles is high, the particles will clump together, making it impossible to accurately determine the crushed particle size. The raw materials are dried before or after crushing.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a continuous fuel pellet drying device is used to dry sampled fuel pellets. The device includes a dryer 1, which is a drum-type dryer. The fuel pellets move along the drying drum and are dried. The device is highly efficient and has a high sealing performance. It can also achieve continuous operation. The fuel pellets are further dispersed during the drying process.
[0023] The feed inlet of the dryer 1 is connected to a dust-suppressing feed device 2. The dust-suppressing feed device 2 includes a feed cover with a feed opening on its side. The feed cover includes a connecting seat 201, which is square and welded from angle steel. It mates with the feed inlet of the dryer 1 and is bolted to the feed inlet of the dryer 1. Multiple columns 202 are connected to the upper end of the connecting seat 201. In this embodiment, there are three columns 202, all made of angle steel, distributed at three corners away from the feed opening. Two columns 202 form two sides of the feed opening, thus ensuring the stability of the feed opening shape. Side sealing plates 203 are fixed between the sides of the multiple columns 202, and an upper sealing plate 204 is fixed between the upper ends of the multiple columns 202. The upper sealing plate 204 is connected to a dust removal pipe 205. Connected to the negative pressure dust removal system, a semi-enclosed feeding hood is formed. A material inlet 207 is formed in the middle of the connecting seat 201. An upper baffle 206 is installed at the upper end of the feeding opening, which is connected to the upper sealing plate 204. A lower baffle 208 is located at the lower end of the feeding opening, which is connected to the connecting seat 201. The upper baffle 206 and the lower baffle 208 can form a lateral support, thereby preventing the feeding opening from deforming. The crushed fuel particles are transported to the feeding opening by a conveyor belt or a robot and poured into the feeding opening. The side sealing plate 203 and the upper sealing plate 204 prevent outward splashing. The dust is discharged outward through the dust removal pipe 205, thereby ensuring clean air near the equipment. The connecting seat 201 is connected to the feeding port of the dryer 1 by bolts, which also facilitates the adjustment of the feeding opening angle, which can be adjusted by 90° each time.
[0024] The discharge port of dryer 1 is connected to a dust-reducing discharge device 3, which includes a discharge cover 301. The discharge cover 301 is connected to a discharge conveyor belt. Specifically, the discharge port of dryer 1 is connected to a discharge chute, which is inserted into the discharge cover 301. An extension cover 302 is integrally formed on the upper end of the discharge cover 301. The extension cover 302 extends above the discharge port of dryer 1 for easy connection. A second dust removal pipe 303 is installed on the side of the discharge cover 301. The second dust removal pipe 303 is connected to a negative pressure dust removal system. Since the fuel particles discharged from the discharge port of dryer 1 are at a high temperature, some heat is also carried away during the dust discharge process through the second dust removal pipe 303.
[0025] The discharge cover 301 is also connected to a sealing cover 4 that cooperates with the discharge conveyor belt 5. The sealing cover 4 is also machined with a receiving port 404 that cooperates with the discharge cover 301. The sealing cover 4 includes a straight discharge section 401 that conforms to the shape of the discharge conveyor belt 5, an inclined rising section 402, and a straight feeding section 403. The sealing cover 4 is made of stainless steel and can dissipate heat.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a continuous fuel pellet drying device differs from Embodiment 1 in that the sealing cover plate 4 is connected to an airflow cooling device. The airflow cooling device includes an air inlet 405 machined at the lower end of the inclined rising section 402, a filter screen is installed at the air inlet 405, and an air outlet pipe 406 is installed at the upper end of the inclined rising section 402. The air outlet pipe 406 is connected to a negative pressure fan, thereby rapidly cooling the fuel pellets through airflow.
[0028] It is worth noting that the discharge conveyor belt 5 is made of PVC belt, which absorbs heat during the process and dissipates heat during the return process. When the material quantity is low, it can achieve the effect of cooling the material. When the material quantity is large, the discharge conveyor belt 5 can be made of metal chain plate conveyor belt to cool the fuel particles, or a composite metal mesh layer can be added to the belt body of the discharge conveyor belt 5 to cool the fuel particles.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
