[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. The present invention provides the following embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the structure of the multi-stage drying device for rust prevention treatment of micro steel balls in this embodiment. The device includes an outer shell 1, a screening component 2, a receiving plate 3, and a drying fan 4. The screening component 2 is provided on the outer shell 1, and the receiving plate 3 is installed on the side of the outer shell 1 and at the bottom of the screening component 2. Multiple sets of drying fans 4 are installed on the inner wall of the outer shell 1. The drying fans 4 dry the steel balls on the screening component 2. A shaking mechanism 5 is installed inside the outer shell 1.

[0027] The dried steel balls are fed into the screening assembly 2 through other components. The vibration mechanism 5 causes the entire screening assembly 2 to vibrate, causing the steel balls on the screening assembly 2 to slowly move towards the receiving plate 3. At this time, multiple drying fans 4 dry the steel balls on the screening assembly 2 to remove the liquid from the outer surface of the steel balls and prevent the steel balls from rusting.

[0028] As attached Figure 3 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the shaking mechanism 5 in this embodiment. The shaking mechanism 5 includes a first drive motor 51, a rotating rod 52, and a cam 53. The first drive motor 51 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the outer shell 1. The rotating rod 52 is rotatably installed inside the outer shell 1. The end of the rotating rod 52 is connected to the output end of the first drive motor 51. Cams 53 are symmetrically installed on the outside of the rotating rod 52. A mating frame 54 is provided at the bottom of the screening component 2 and above the cam 53. The cam 53 and the mating frame 54 are in pressing contact.

[0029] When the steel ball enters the screening assembly 2, the first drive motor 51 drives the rotating rod 52 to rotate inside the outer shell 1, while the cam 53 continuously pushes the mating frame 54. At this time, the screening assembly 2 is squeezed upward by the cam 53 and slides upward. When the cam 53 rotates to a certain angle, the cam 53 is no longer in contact with the mating frame 54, and the screening assembly 2 will slide downward. This cycle repeats, causing the steel ball at the upper end of the screening assembly 2 to vibrate and move forward continuously. During the vibration of the steel ball, the liquid on the outer surface of the steel ball will be shaken off, realizing the separation of the liquid from the steel ball.

[0030] As attached Figure 4As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the structure of the screening component 2 in this embodiment. The screening component 2 includes a screening screen plate 21, a limiting rod 22 and a limiting groove 23. The limiting groove 23 is symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the outer shell 1. The limiting rod 22 is slidably installed in the limiting groove 23. The screening screen plate 21 is installed between the limiting rods 22. Screening holes and grooves are equally spaced on the screening screen plate 21, and the screening screen plate 21 is arranged in an inclined manner inside the outer shell 1.

[0031] When the shaking mechanism 5 pushes the screening assembly 2 as a whole, the limiting rods 22 on both sides of the screening screen plate 21 slide along the limiting groove 23. At this time, the screening screen plate 21 slides along the length direction of the limiting groove 23, allowing the steel balls on the screening screen plate 21 to move during the vibration, thereby achieving the dewatering effect.

[0032] As attached Figure 5 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the structure of the spin-drying mechanism 6 in this embodiment. The spin-drying mechanism 6 includes a base 61, a centrifugal disc 62, a second drive motor 63, and a supporting bracket 64. The base 61 is located on the side of the outer casing 1. The centrifugal disc 62 is rotatably mounted on the base 61. The second drive motor 63 is mounted at the bottom of the base 61, and its output end is connected to the centrifugal disc 62. The supporting bracket 64 is also located on the base 61, and a blocking ring 66 is mounted on the base 61. The supporting bracket 64 is connected to the blocking ring 66. The blocking ring 66 has equidistant screening holes and a slot on its side. A discharge plate 65 is installed at the slot. A receiving ring 67 is mounted on the side of the base 61 to receive the liquid screened by the blocking ring 66. An output plate 68 is mounted on the side of the receiving ring 67.

[0033] The steel balls to be dried are placed on the base 61. At this time, the second drive motor 63 drives the centrifugal disc 62 to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the steel balls move along the inner wall of the blocking ring 66. With the guidance of the bracket 64, the steel balls are fed into the discharge plate 65. The steel balls are fed into the screening component 2 through the discharge plate 65. When the centrifugal disc 62 swings the upper steel balls, under the action of centrifugal force, most of the liquid outside the steel balls flows out through the screening holes of the blocking ring 66 and enters the receiving ring 67. Finally, the liquid is directly discharged through the output plate 68, completing the collection of liquid.

[0034] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
