[0008] Several flipping plates are evenly slidably connected to the inner wall of the roller. Both the flipping plates and the roller are horizontally arranged. The two ends of the flipping plates are respectively slidably engaged with the end faces inside the corresponding rollers. An abutment is provided inside the mounting cylinder. When the roller drives the flipping plates to rotate, the abutment drives several flipping plates to slide.

[0009] Furthermore, a second motor is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting cylinder. The output shaft of the second motor rotates through the end face of the mounting cylinder and is then fixedly connected to the roller coaxially. A feed pipe is fixedly connected to the end of the roller away from the second motor coaxially. The feed pipe rotates through the end face of the mounting cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a feeding cylinder, one end of which is fixedly connected to an L-shaped support frame, the feeding cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, and one end of the feeding cylinder passes through the feed pipe and extends into the drum;

[0011] The other end of the feeding cylinder is fixedly connected to a first motor. The output shaft of the first motor rotates through the end face of the feeding cylinder. The end of the output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to a spiral conveying rod. The spiral conveying rod slides in cooperation with the inner wall of the feeding cylinder. The top of the feeding cylinder is provided with a feed inlet.

[0012] Furthermore, the drying assembly includes two heating wires, which are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a spray pipe, which is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting cylinder, and a number of nozzles are fixedly connected at intervals to the bottom of the spray pipe, with the water outlet holes on the nozzles facing the roller.

[0014] A water pump is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting cylinder, and a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump. The other end of the connecting pipe passes through the top of the mounting cylinder and is fixedly connected to the spray pipe.

[0015] A fixing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting cylinder, and liquid storage tanks are fixedly connected to both ends of the top of the fixing plate. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of the water pump, and the two ends of the connecting pipe are fixedly connected to the two liquid storage tanks respectively. A valve is provided at the connection point between the connecting pipe and the two liquid storage tanks.

[0016] Furthermore, the roller is provided with grooves at both ends of each flipping plate, and the two ends of the flipping plate are slidably connected in the corresponding grooves, with both ends of each flipping plate extending out of the roller.

[0017] Each of the chutes is fixedly connected to a guide rod inside. The end of the flipping plate is slidably sleeved on the corresponding guide rod. Each guide rod is fitted with a first spring.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The CIP self-cleaning dryer is equipped with a tilting plate, which is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the drum. When the drum rotates to dry the wet material, the drum drives the tilting plate to move. When the end of the tilting plate moves to the stop block, the stop block will block the tilting plate, causing the chute to slide at the end of the tilting plate and compress the first spring. When the tilting plate is at the end of the chute, the tilting plate will squeeze the stop block and pass through the stop block. Then the first spring will push the tilting plate to slide in the chute, so that the tilting plate will push the wet material on the inner wall of the drum when it moves. The wet material is repeatedly picked up and thrown down by the tilting plate, so that the wet material is dispersed and the adhesion and clumping are reduced. Attached Figure Description

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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] like Figures 1-6As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A CIP self-cleaning dryer includes an installation cylinder 1, and a roller 5 is rotatably connected to the center of the installation cylinder 1. A plurality of drainage holes are evenly opened on the outer surface of the roller 5.

[0031] A second motor 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting cylinder 1. The output shaft of the second motor 8 rotates through the end face of the mounting cylinder 1 and is then coaxially fixedly connected to the roller 5. The second motor 8 drives the roller 5 to rotate. A feed pipe 21 is coaxially fixedly connected to the end of the roller 5 away from the second motor 8. The feed pipe 21 rotates through the end face of the mounting cylinder 1. This facilitates material discharge into the roller 5 through the feed pipe 21, while also supporting the roller 5 and positioning it inside the mounting cylinder 1.

[0032] One end of the mounting cylinder 1 is equipped with a feeding component that feeds the roller 5.

[0033] The feeding assembly includes a feeding cylinder 2. One end of the mounting cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped support frame, and the feeding cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame. One end of the feeding cylinder 2 passes through the feed pipe 21 and extends into the drum 5, so that the feeding cylinder 2 feeds the material into the drum 5.

[0034] A first motor 4 is fixedly connected to the other end of the feeding cylinder 2, and the output shaft of the first motor 4 rotates through the end face of the feeding cylinder 2. A screw conveyor 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the first motor 4, and the screw conveyor 3 slides against the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 2. The first motor 4 drives the screw conveyor 3 to rotate inside the feeding cylinder 2.

[0035] The top of the feeding cylinder 2 is equipped with a feed inlet. Material is fed into the feeding cylinder 2 through the feed inlet, and the screw conveyor 3 rotates to transport the material.

[0036] A discharge pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the roller 5, and a solenoid valve is installed on the discharge pipe 7. A discharge port that matches the discharge pipe 7 is opened at the bottom of the mounting cylinder 1.

[0037] A cleaning component is installed at the top inside the mounting cylinder 1.

[0038] The cleaning assembly includes a spray pipe 15, which is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting cylinder 1. Several nozzles are fixedly connected at intervals to the bottom of the spray pipe 15, with water outlets on the nozzles facing the roller 5, so that the nozzles can spray water towards the roller 5.

[0039] A water pump 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting cylinder 1, and a connecting pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 17. The other end of the connecting pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 15 after passing through the top end of the mounting cylinder 1.

[0040] A fixing plate 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting cylinder 1, and liquid storage tanks 19 are fixedly connected to both ends of the top of the fixing plate 20. A connecting pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the input end of the water pump 17, and the two ends of the connecting pipe 18 are fixedly connected to the two liquid storage tanks 19 respectively. Valves are provided at the connection points between the connecting pipe 18 and the two liquid storage tanks 19 to facilitate the water pump 17 to draw liquid out of the liquid storage tanks 19 through the connecting pipe 18.

[0041] One of the storage tanks 19 contains water, and the other storage tank 19 contains an alkaline solution. The alkaline solution is highly alkaline and can soften, loosen, emulsify, and disperse deposits, making it suitable for use as a cleaning agent.

[0042] A drying component is installed at the bottom of the installation cylinder 1.

[0043] The drying assembly includes two heating wires 9, which are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting cylinder 1. Each heating wire 9 is fitted with a heat-conducting tube, the end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting cylinder 1, and the heat-conducting tube protects the heating wire 9.

[0044] Several tilting plates 6 are evenly slidably connected to the inner wall of the roller 5, and both the tilting plates 6 and the roller 5 are horizontally arranged. The two ends of the tilting plates 6 are respectively slidably engaged with the end faces inside the corresponding rollers 5. The rotation of the roller 5 will drive the tilting plates 6 to rotate, and at the same time, the tilting plates 6 can slide inside the roller 5.

[0045] Each roller 5 has a groove at both ends of each tilting plate 6, and the two ends of the tilting plate 6 are slidably connected to the corresponding groove. Both ends of each tilting plate 6 extend outside the roller 5.

[0046] Each chute has a guide rod 10 fixedly connected inside, and the end of the tilting plate 6 is slidably sleeved on the corresponding guide rod 10. The guide rod 10 positions the tilting plate 6. Each guide rod 10 is fitted with a first spring 11. One end of the first spring 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chute, and the other end of the first spring 11 is fixedly connected to the tilting plate 6. Each first spring 11 is located between two adjacent tilting plates 6.

[0047] The mounting cylinder 1 is equipped with an abutment. When the roller 5 drives the flipping plate 6 to rotate, the abutment drives several flipping plates 6 to slide.

[0048] Several abutment members are provided, and the number of abutment members is equal to and corresponds one-to-one with the flipping plate 6. This allows the abutment member to drive the corresponding flipping plate 6 to slide. Each abutment member includes two fixing frames 12, which are respectively fixedly connected to two end faces inside the mounting cylinder 1. The flipping plate 6 is positioned between the corresponding two fixing frames 12, allowing the flipping plate 6 to rotate between the corresponding two fixing frames 12.

[0049] Each fixed frame 12 has a stop 14 slidably mounted inside it via a second spring 13. One end of the second spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 1, and the other end of the second spring 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the stop 14. In the initial state, the second spring 13 pushes the stop 14, causing one end of the stop 14 to extend outside the fixed frame 12.

[0050] The end of the tilting plate 6 abuts against and slides against the corresponding stop 14. Both the tilting plate 6 and the stop 14 have beveled surfaces at their mating ends.

[0051] The force required for the second spring 13 to deform is greater than the force required for the first spring 11 to deform. This causes the stop block 14 to push the flipping plate 6 to move first when the flipping plate 6 and the stop block 14 come into contact.

[0052] Working principle:

[0053] In use, wet material is fed into the feeding cylinder 2 through the feed port at the top of the feeding cylinder 2. The first motor 4 is started, driving the screw conveyor 3 to rotate. The screw conveyor 3 conveys the wet material through the feed pipe 21 to the inside of the drum 5.

[0054] Start the second motor 8 to drive the drum 5 to rotate, causing the feed pipe 21 to rotate outside the feed cylinder 2. The drum 5 drives the wet material to rotate, throwing out the water from the wet material.

[0055] After the water is shaken out, the heating wire 9 is energized. The heating wire 9 heats the heat-conducting tube, raising the internal temperature of the mounting cylinder 1, thereby drying the material.

[0056] When the roller 5 rotates, it will drive the tilting plate 6 to rotate. When the tilting plate 6 rotates to the stop 14, the stop 14 will block the tilting plate 6, causing the roller 5 to drive the slide groove to slide on the tilting plate 6, the guide rod 10 to move, and the first spring 11 to be compressed.

[0057] When the tilting plate 6 is at the end of the chute, the first spring 11 is compressed to its limit. The continued rotation of the roller 5 will drive the tilting plate 6 to move, causing the tilting plate 6 to press against the stop block 14, causing the stop block 14 to slide into the fixed frame 12 and compress the second spring 13.

[0058] After the tilting plate 6 passes the stop 14, the second spring 13 pushes the stop 14 to slide within the fixed frame 12, causing one end of the stop 14 to extend outside the fixed frame 12. The first spring 11 then pushes the tilting plate 6 to slide within the groove, and the tilting plate 6 slides on the guide rod 10.

[0059] As the tilting plate 6 moves, it pushes the wet material on the inner wall of the drum 5. The wet material is repeatedly picked up and thrown down by the tilting plate 6, which disperses the wet material and reduces the adhesion and clumping. At the same time, the tilting plate 6 collides with the inner wall of the chute as it moves, causing the tilting plate 6 to vibrate and causing the wet material adhering to the inner wall of the drum 5 to fall downwards. This movement of the material within the drum 5 makes the drying process more uniform.

[0060] After the wet material is dried, rotate the discharge pipe 7 to align with the discharge port at the bottom of the mounting cylinder 1. Open the discharge pipe 7 using the solenoid valve on the discharge pipe 7 to allow the wet material inside the drum 5 to fall downwards for discharge.

[0061] After the material is discharged, open the valve on the water storage tank 19.

[0062] Start water pump 17 to allow water from storage tank 19 to enter connecting pipe 18. Then, the water enters spray pipe 15 through connecting pipe 16 and is sprayed onto roller 5 through nozzles. Simultaneously, the rotation of roller 5 washes it. The washed water is discharged through discharge pipe 7.

[0063] Open the valve on the storage tank 19 containing the alkali solution. Start the water pump 17 to spray the alkali solution onto the roller 5. Then spray water onto the roller 5 to achieve the purpose of self-cleaning the roller 5.

[0064] Although the present invention 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 invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
