[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] Example:

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model provides a drying device for processing new energy batteries, including a housing 11. Guide plates 12 and drive plates 13 are respectively provided on both sides of the inner wall of the housing 11. A guide rack 14 is provided on the drive plate 13. The guide plates 12 and drive plates 13 provide running tracks and guidance for the drive rods 15, driven rods 16, and gears 17. Multiple sets of drive rods 15 and multiple sets of driven rods 16 are provided inside the housing 11. A gear 17 is provided on one side of each set of drive rods 15 and multiple sets of driven rods 16. The gear 17 meshes with the guide rack 14. Through the arrangement of the drive rods 15, driven rods 16, and the gear 17 on one side, power transmission and the driving of the conveyor belt 19 can be achieved in conjunction with the guide rack 14, improving the reliability of the power transmission of the device. A drive motor 18 is installed inside the drive rod 15, and the drive motor 18 is connected to the gear 17. Multiple sets of drive rods 15 and multiple sets of driven rods 16 are slidably connected to the guide plate 12 on their other sides. The drive motor 18 provides power to the entire transmission system. A conveyor belt 19 is installed on the drive rods 15 and driven rods 16, and a mounting seat 21 is installed on the conveyor belt 19. The mounting seat 21 has clamping components for fixing the battery 27. The conveyor belt 19, mounting seat 21, and clamping components enable the conveying and fixing of the battery 27 within the drying device, improving the device's ability to convey and fix the battery 27. A drying assembly is also provided on the outer casing 11. The drying assembly enables the drying operation of the battery 27, enhancing the device's functionality in meeting the drying requirements of the battery 27.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, both the guide plate 12 and the drive plate 13 have S-shaped guide grooves 22. The drive rod 15 and the driven rod 16 are slidably connected to the guide grooves 22 on the guide plate 12. The gear 17 is slidably connected to the guide grooves 22 on the drive plate 13. The guide racks 14 are distributed in an S-shape on the drive plate 13. By setting the S-shaped guide grooves 22 and the guide racks 14, the conveying path of the battery 27 in the drying device can be extended, improving the uniformity and thoroughness of the drying process.

[0027] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the clamping component includes a fixing plate 25 and two sets of mounting ears 24 on the mounting base 21. The fixing plate 25 is disposed between the two sets of mounting ears 24. The fixing plate 25 and the mounting ears 24 provide a basic structure and connection parts for clamping the battery 27, thereby improving the stability of the clamping structure of the device.

[0028] The fixed plate 25 contains a movable plate 29. The movable plate 29 has rotatable retaining plates 26 on both sides. The movable plate 29 has retaining slots, and one end of each retaining plate 26 is secured within one of these slots. A battery 27 is housed within the movable plate 29. The arrangement of the movable plate 29, retaining plates 26, and retaining slots allows for convenient fixing of batteries 27 of different shapes, improving the flexibility of the device in securing the battery 27.

[0029] Magnets 28 are provided on the contact surfaces of both the fixed plate 25 and the movable plate 29, and the fixed plate 25 and the movable plate 29 are connected by two sets of magnets 28. The magnets 28 facilitate the loading and unloading of the movable plate 29.

[0030] One of the mounting ears 24 has a servo motor 23 on one side. The output shaft of the servo motor 23 is connected to the fixing plate 25. The mounting ear 24 has two sets of first limiting blocks 31, and the fixing plate 25 has second limiting blocks 32 at both ends. By setting the servo motor 23, the first limiting blocks 31 and the second limiting blocks 32, the rotation angle of the fixing plate 25 can be controlled, while limiting its range of motion, thus improving the safety of the device in flipping the battery 27.

[0031] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the drying assembly includes a dehumidifying box and a heater 34. The outer casing 11 has a first air inlet 35 on one side and a second air outlet 36 and a return air outlet 37 on the other side. The heater 34 is installed inside the first air inlet 35. By setting the heater 34, the outside air can be heated and sent into the drying device to provide a heat source for drying and improve the drying efficiency of the device.

[0032] The second air outlet 36 is connected to the return air outlet 37 via a duct, and the dehumidification box is installed on the duct. Through the arrangement of the second air outlet 36, the return air outlet 37, and the dehumidification box, air can be recycled and moisture in the recycled air can be removed, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the device and the dryness of the drying environment.

[0033] The dehumidifier box includes a housing 38, inside which are a water-absorbing layer 39 and a filter layer 41. A fan 33 is located on the side of the housing 38 away from the second air outlet 36. Through the arrangement of the water-absorbing layer 39, the filter layer 41, and the fan 33, moisture can be absorbed, impurities can be filtered, and air circulation can be promoted, thereby improving the device's dehumidification and air purification capabilities.

[0034] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0035] The new energy battery 27 is placed in the movable plate 29 of the clamping member, and the battery 27 is fixed in the slot by the clamping plate 26. The drive motor 18 is started, and the drive motor 18 drives the gear 17 to mesh with the guide rack 14. The drive rod 15 and the driven rod 16 slide in the S-shaped guide groove 22 of the guide plate 12, thereby driving the conveyor belt 19 to rotate, so that the battery 27 moves along the S-shaped path in the drying device. At the same time, the heater 34 sends heated air into the outer shell 11 through the first air inlet 35 to dry the battery 27. The air containing moisture flows out from the second air outlet 36. When it passes through the dehumidification box, the water absorption layer 39 absorbs the moisture, the filter layer 41 filters the impurities, and the purified air re-enters the drying device for recycling through the return air outlet 37. If it is necessary to flip the battery 27 during this process, the servo motor 23 is started. The servo motor 23 drives the fixed plate 25 to rotate, thereby driving the movable plate 29 and the battery 27 to rotate, so as to flip the battery 27. The first limiting block 31 and the second limiting block 32 ensure that the rotation of the fixing plate 25 is within a safe range. The entire device achieves the drying process of the new energy battery 27 through the coordinated work of its various parts.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments.
