Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically an energy-saving and environmentally friendly drying system. Background Technology
[0002] In the stainless steel rolling industry, the demand for stainless steel-based composite materials (such as stainless steel-ceramic composite plates) is increasing. The production of these composites requires mixing ceramic powder and metal powder, stirring until homogeneous, and then using hot pressing or rolling processes to prepare the finished product. However, in this series of processes, the moisture control of the raw materials is particularly critical, as the presence of moisture can cause powder agglomeration during mixing, affecting the uniformity of the mixture. Furthermore, during hot pressing or rolling, the vaporization of moisture can create defects such as pores within the material, severely impacting the quality and performance of the product.
[0003] Traditional drying equipment typically involves placing materials directly into a drying chamber. However, due to limitations in heat transfer, uniform heating is difficult to achieve during the drying process, often resulting in localized overheating or insufficient drying. This can easily lead to a decline in material quality, or even deterioration and deformation, for materials sensitive to temperature and humidity. This severely impacts product quality and market competitiveness. In the drying process of fine chemical products, uneven drying frequently results in a lower product qualification rate.

[0017] Beneficial effects
[0018] This invention provides an energy-saving and environmentally friendly drying system. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0019] 1. This energy-saving and environmentally friendly drying system continuously moves the material in the drying chamber through the material-moving component, allowing the material to fully contact the hot air, resulting in more uniform heating and accelerating the evaporation of moisture in the material, thereby improving drying efficiency. Uniform heating avoids problems such as deterioration and deformation caused by local overheating of the material, ensuring drying quality. At the same time, it realizes the effective utilization of heat, reduces additional energy consumption, and reflects the characteristics of energy saving and environmental protection.
[0020] 2. This energy-saving and environmentally friendly drying system, through the first and second connecting pipes, allows hot air to undergo two-stage distribution and diffusion, forming a more uniform heat field within the drying chamber. This avoids situations where the local temperature is too high or too low within the drying chamber, ensuring that all parts of the material can be dried in a relatively uniform temperature environment, thereby improving the uniformity of drying and guaranteeing the overall drying quality of the material.

[0027] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] See Figures 1-5 This utility model provides the following two technical solutions:
[0029] First implementation method: An energy-saving and environmentally friendly drying system, comprising:
[0030] A frame 1 is provided, with a dryer 2 fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1 and a drying box 3 installed at the bottom of the frame 1.
[0031] Connecting pipe 4 is fixedly installed between dryer 2 and drying box 3. Connecting pipe 4 is used to transfer the heat generated by dryer 2 to drying box 3, so as to facilitate the drying of materials placed in drying box 3.
[0032] The material feeding assembly 5 includes a first rotating shaft 51 and a second rotating shaft 54, both of which are rotatably installed inside the drying chamber 3. Multiple material feeding rods 52 are evenly installed on the first rotating shaft 51 and the second rotating shaft 54. A motor 53 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drying chamber 3. The output end of the motor 53 passes through the drying chamber 3 and is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 51. The ends of the first rotating shaft 51 and the second rotating shaft 54 away from the motor 53 both pass through the drying chamber 3 and are fixedly installed with gears 55. The two gears 55 are meshed and connected. The material feeding assembly 5 is used to move the material inside the drying chamber 3.
[0033] Control panel 11 is fixedly installed on frame 1. Control panel 11 is used to control the operation of dryer 2 and feeding assembly 5.
[0034] Each of the outer ends of multiple feeding rods 52 is fixedly equipped with a feeding spoon 6; the multiple feeding spoons 6 on the first rotating shaft 51 have the opposite concave direction to the multiple feeding spoons 6 on the feeding rods 52.
[0035] The dryer 2 generates heat and delivers hot air to the drying chamber 3 through the connecting pipe 4. The hot air flows within the drying chamber 3, exchanging heat with the material, causing the moisture in the material to absorb heat and evaporate, thus achieving the drying purpose. The motor 53 drives the first rotating shaft 51 to rotate, causing the feeding rod 52 and feeding spoon 6 on the first rotating shaft 51 to rotate accordingly, agitating the material within the drying chamber 3. Simultaneously, the first rotating shaft 51 drives the second rotating shaft 54 to rotate via the gear 55 at its end. Since the rotation directions of the first and second rotating shafts 51 and 54 are opposite, and the concave directions of the feeding spoons 6 on the first and second rotating shafts 51 and 54 are opposite, convection occurs between the first and second rotating shafts 51 and 54, resulting in more thorough agitation and mixing of the material. This ensures the material is heated evenly, preventing localized overheating or overdrying and improving the drying effect.
[0036] In this embodiment, the material feeding component 5 continuously agitates the material inside the drying chamber 3, ensuring full contact between the material and hot air, resulting in more uniform heating and accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the material. This improves drying efficiency. Uniform heating prevents deterioration and deformation caused by localized overheating, ensuring drying quality. Simultaneously, it achieves effective heat utilization, reducing additional energy consumption and demonstrating energy-saving and environmentally friendly characteristics. The material feeding spoons 6 on the first rotating shaft 51 and the second rotating shaft 54 have opposite concave directions, causing convection currents in the material inside the drying chamber 3. This allows the material to be agitated and stirred from different directions, ensuring more thorough processing. Especially for materials that are prone to clumping or accumulating, it effectively breaks up and turns them over, ensuring consistent overall drying results.
[0037] The second implementation method differs from the first implementation method in that: a first connecting pipe 7 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the drying oven 3, the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the first connecting pipe 7, and a plurality of first exhaust holes 8 are evenly opened at the lower end of the first connecting pipe 7.
[0038] Multiple second connecting pipes 9, which correspond one-to-one with the first exhaust holes 8, are evenly installed at the lower end of the first connecting pipe 7. The multiple second connecting pipes 9 are connected to the first connecting pipe 7 through the first exhaust holes 8. Multiple second exhaust holes 10 are evenly opened on the multiple second connecting pipes 9. The multiple second connecting pipes 9 are all vertically arranged inside the drying oven 3.
[0039] The rotation trajectories of multiple feeding rods 52 and multiple feeding spoons 6 are located between the drying box 3 and multiple second connecting pipes 9.
[0040] The hot air generated by the dryer 2 is transported to the first connecting pipe 7 through the connecting pipe 4. The first connecting pipe 7 plays a role in the initial distribution of hot air. The hot air flows in the first connecting pipe 7 and is dispersed through multiple first exhaust holes 8 evenly opened at its lower end. Each first exhaust hole 8 corresponds to a second connecting pipe 9. The hot air enters the second connecting pipe 9 from the first exhaust hole 8. The second connecting pipe 9 further guides the hot air into the drying chamber 3 and diffuses it more widely in the drying chamber 3 through its own multiple evenly opened second exhaust holes 10. This two-stage distribution method allows the hot air to be more evenly distributed in the drying chamber 3. The material-pushing rod 52 and the material-pushing spoon 6 rotate between the drying chamber 3 and the multiple second connecting pipes 9. During the rotation, the material is continuously pushed towards the multiple second connecting pipes 9. The material can have better and more frequent and sufficient contact with the hot air discharged from the second exhaust holes 10. The material constantly renews the surface in contact with the hot air during the movement, so that the heat exchange can be carried out continuously and efficiently.
[0041] In this embodiment, the hot air undergoes two-stage distribution and diffusion to form a more uniform thermal field within the drying chamber 3, preventing localized overheating or underheating. This ensures that all parts of the material are dried under a relatively consistent temperature environment, thereby improving drying uniformity and guaranteeing the overall drying quality. The rotation of the material-dispensing rod 52 and the material-dispensing spoon 6 continuously agitates the material, further promoting uniform contact between the hot air and the material. This prevents parts of the material from being insufficiently dried due to accumulation, enhancing the consistency of the drying effect. The more uniform distribution of hot air and frequent material agitation accelerate the heat exchange process, allowing the moisture in the material to absorb heat and evaporate more quickly, thus shortening the drying time, reducing additional energy consumption, demonstrating energy-saving and environmentally friendly characteristics, and improving the overall efficiency of the drying system. The two-stage connecting pipe design allows the hot air to reach the material area more precisely, reducing ineffective airflow and heat loss, further improving energy utilization efficiency, and indirectly increasing drying efficiency.
[0042] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0043] In use, place the material to be dried in the drying chamber 3, turn on the dryer 2 to start it working and generate heat, and hot air is conveyed into the drying chamber 3 through the connecting pipe 4; turn on the motor 53, the motor 53 drives the first rotating shaft 51 to rotate, and the feeding rod 52 and feeding spoon 6 on the first rotating shaft 51 rotate accordingly. Since the first rotating shaft 51 is meshed with the gear 55 at the end of the second rotating shaft 54, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 51 drives the second rotating shaft 54 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the feeding rod 52 and feeding spoon 6 on the second rotating shaft 54 also start to work, and the feeding rod 52 and feeding spoon 6 move in the drying chamber. The material is rotated between the drying chamber 3 and multiple second connecting pipes 9, continuously moving the material and creating convection within the drying chamber 3, allowing for more thorough contact with the hot air. The hot air generated by the dryer 2 enters the first connecting pipe 7 through the connecting pipe 4. After initial distribution within the first connecting pipe 7, it enters the corresponding second connecting pipe 9 through the first exhaust port 8. The hot air further diffuses within the second connecting pipe 9 and is evenly distributed to various areas within the drying chamber 3 through the second exhaust port 10, exchanging heat with the material being turned over by the material moving component 5. This causes the moisture in the material to absorb heat and evaporate, thus achieving the drying process.
