Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically to a vacuum drying oven for polytetrafluoroethylene. Background Technology
[0002] PTFE is widely used in many industrial fields due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and insulation properties. However, its unique physical and chemical properties also require drying equipment to have specific performance characteristics. Vacuum rake dryers are drying equipment specifically designed for processing special materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Vacuum rake dryers are needed for PTFE drying because the equipment can operate under vacuum conditions, significantly reducing the boiling point of water and achieving drying at lower temperatures, thereby protecting the heat-sensitive components in PTFE from damage. Vacuum rake dryers are widely used in the production of PTFE pipes.
[0003] However, the rake dryers commonly found on the market are usually placed horizontally or vertically, which makes it easy for material residue to remain when the dryer discharges. This residue is difficult for workers to clean and recycle, affecting the subsequent drying process. Therefore, it is necessary to solve this technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a special vacuum drying oven for polytetrafluoroethylene, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] (1) This utility model is equipped with a base frame, a support frame, a side support plate, a servo motor, an angle adjustment frame, a drying cylinder, a displacement sensor, a ramp, and a PLC controller. The servo motor is started by the servo controller, which causes the servo motor to rotate counterclockwise by a fixed angle according to the set rotation angle. Then, the output end of the servo motor drives the base frame to rotate counterclockwise through the angle adjustment frame, so that the drying cylinder on the support frame tilts to the left. When the displacement detected by the displacement sensor reaches the preset value of the PLC controller, the PLC controller starts the hydraulic cylinder of the ramp to extend, so that the contact block at the top of the hydraulic cylinder connects with the bottom of the support frame. In this way, the discharge end of the horizontally arranged drying cylinder can be tilted to achieve the effect of full discharge and facilitate the subsequent drying process of materials.

The two ends of the stirring shaft inside the drying cylinder are rotatably connected to two shaft seats. As the geared motor drives the stirring shaft fixed at its output end to rotate, it causes several sets of stirring rods on the surface of the stirring shaft and several sets of stirring frames fixed around the stirring rods to rotate, so that the powdered or granular polytetrafluoroethylene is evenly dispersed and stirred in the drying cylinder. Combined with the several annular heaters evenly arranged inside the heating shell, it is easy to connect the vacuum pipe on the filter cover to the external vacuum pump. While ensuring the uniform dispersion of polytetrafluoroethylene, it also achieves the full drying of polytetrafluoroethylene. Moreover, the vacuum method is beneficial to protect the heat-sensitive components in PTFE from damage, which is beneficial to improving the production quality of subsequent polytetrafluoroethylene products.
