Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, and in particular to inclined conveyor belt dryers. [Background Technology]

[0002] A dryer is a common processing equipment used to dry and dehydrate materials. Continuous dryers were developed to achieve higher efficiency and continuous production. Materials enter the continuous dryer and are dried while it is running. Existing continuous dryers are mostly horizontally configured, meaning the material cannot be raised within the drying equipment, which cannot meet the needs of some applications requiring material lifting. Furthermore, existing continuous dryers often use conveyor belts for feeding, but these belts are mostly flat, resulting in poor air permeability on the side of the material in contact with the belt, making drying difficult. Also, when the conveyor belt is tilted, the material easily slips off. [Utility Model Content]

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and to propose an inclined conveyor belt dryer that can lift materials during the drying process, and the materials are placed more stably on the conveyor belt and are less likely to slip.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an inclined conveyor belt dryer, including a dryer body, a drying chamber provided in the dryer body, a main conveyor belt provided in the drying chamber, the main conveyor belt being inclined upward from the input end to the output end, and a plurality of step structures for placing workpieces provided on the surface of the main conveyor belt, the step structures being composed of a plurality of flexible columns vertically provided on the surface of the main conveyor belt;

[0005] The upper side of the main conveyor belt serves as the conveying side. The flexible columns forming the stepped structure are arranged in a stepped manner as they pass the conveying side, with their height gradually increasing from the end near the output direction of the main conveyor belt to the input direction end of the main conveyor belt, so that the top of each flexible column forms a placement plane for placing workpieces.

[0006] Preferably, a second conveying mechanism is provided at the input end of the main conveyor belt to cooperate with it. The second conveying mechanism includes a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt arranged in parallel. The output ends of the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt extend to the upper side of the input end of the main conveyor belt, and a gap is provided between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt to allow the main conveyor belt or the stepped structure to pass through.

[0007] Preferably, the second conveying mechanism further includes a first limiting side plate and a second limiting side plate respectively disposed beside the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, wherein the distance between the first limiting side plate and the second limiting side plate corresponds to the outer diameter of the workpiece to be conveyed.

[0008] Preferably, a workpiece detection sensor for detecting workpieces is provided at one end of the first limiting side plate and / or the second limiting side plate near the output end of the second conveying mechanism, and the workpiece detection sensor is controlled to be connected to the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the main conveyor belt is also provided with a horizontally extending conveyor section.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this inclined conveyor belt dryer are as follows: By setting the main conveyor belt inside the dryer at an incline, the material can be gradually lifted upwards during the drying process, meeting the needs of some special application scenarios. By setting a stepped structure on the surface of the main conveyor belt to support the workpiece, the workpiece can be easily supported, making it more stable on the inclined main conveyor belt and less prone to slippage and displacement. The stepped structure is composed of several flexible columns set vertically on the surface of the main conveyor belt, with a certain gap between the flexible columns to allow the heat and moisture of drying to pass through, thereby improving the drying quality.

[0011] The features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail through embodiments and accompanying drawings. [Attached Image Description]

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 2This utility model discloses an inclined conveyor belt dryer, comprising a dryer body 1, which generates drying heat energy to dry workpieces. A drying chamber is provided within the dryer body 1, and a main conveyor belt 2 is installed within the drying chamber, passing through it to carry the workpieces. The main conveyor belt 2 is inclined upwards from the input end to the output end, gradually lifting the workpieces. Several stepped structures 3 for placing the workpieces are provided on the surface of the main conveyor belt 2. Each stepped structure 3 consists of several vertically arranged flexible columns 31 on the surface of the main conveyor belt 2, with gaps between them to allow the drying heat and moisture to pass through. In this embodiment, by providing stepped structures 3 on the surface of the main conveyor belt 2 to support the workpieces, the workpieces are easily supported, making them more stable on the inclined main conveyor belt 2 and less prone to slippage.

[0024] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The upper side of the main conveyor belt 2 serves as the conveying side. The flexible columns 31 constituting the stepped structure 3 are arranged in a stepped pattern, with their height gradually increasing from near the output end of the main conveyor belt 2 to the input end, as they pass the conveying side. This arrangement ensures that the top of each flexible column 31 forms a placement plane 32 for placing workpieces. This configuration facilitates cooperation with the inclined main conveyor belt 2, allowing workpieces to remain stably placed even on the inclined main conveyor belt 2.

[0025] See Figure 1 The main conveyor belt 2 is also provided with a horizontally extending horizontal conveying section 21 at the top.

[0026] Example 2:

[0027] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5To facilitate feeding the main conveyor belt 2, a second conveying mechanism is provided at the input end of the main conveyor belt 2. This second conveying mechanism includes a first conveyor belt 8 and a second conveyor belt 4 arranged in parallel. The output ends of the first conveyor belt 8 and the second conveyor belt 4 extend to the upper side of the input end of the main conveyor belt 2, and a gap is provided between the first conveyor belt 8 and the second conveyor belt 4 for the step structure 3 to pass through. Material is placed on the first conveyor belt 8 and the second conveyor belt 4. When the material reaches the end of the first conveyor belt 8 and the second conveyor belt 4, the conveying stops, and the main conveyor belt 2 starts. When any step structure 3 of the main conveyor belt 2 rotates to the gap between the first conveyor belt 8 and the second conveyor belt 4, it can pass through the gap and contact the bottom surface of the workpiece, lifting the workpiece and causing it to detach from the second conveying mechanism. The workpiece is then conveyed into the dryer body 1 via the main conveyor belt 2. The input end of the second conveying mechanism can be connected to an existing conventional conveying structure, allowing for convenient cooperation between the conveying structure of this application and ordinary conveying structures.

[0028] To facilitate workpiece positioning, the second conveying mechanism also includes a first limiting side plate 5 and a second limiting side plate 6 respectively located beside the first conveyor belt 8 and the second conveyor belt 4. The distance between the first limiting side plate 5 and the second limiting side plate 6 corresponds to the outer diameter of the workpiece to be conveyed.

[0029] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The first limiting side plate 5 and the second limiting side plate 6 are equipped with a workpiece detection sensor 7 near the output end of the second conveying mechanism. The workpiece detection sensor 7 is controlled to connect with the first conveyor belt 8 and the second conveyor belt 4. The workpiece detection sensor 7 detects whether the workpiece has reached a position that can cooperate with the main conveyor belt 2, facilitating cooperation with the main conveyor belt 2. When the workpiece reaches the workpiece detection sensor 7, the first conveyor belt 8 and the second conveyor belt 4 immediately stop conveying until the workpiece is carried away by the main conveyor belt 2, and the front of the workpiece detection sensor 7 is no longer obstructed. Then, the first conveyor belt 8 and the second conveyor belt 4 are controlled to resume conveying until the next workpiece reaches the position of the workpiece detection sensor 7.

[0030] The working process of this utility model:

[0031] In the operation of this inclined conveyor belt dryer, the material is placed on the placement plane 32 of each step structure 3 at the conveying end of the main conveyor belt 2, and is conveyed to the dryer body 1 for drying by the main conveyor belt 2. The placement plane 32 makes the workpiece more stable on the inclined main conveyor belt 2 and less prone to sliding displacement. The step structure 3 is composed of several vertical flexible columns 31 arranged on the surface of the main conveyor belt 2, and there is a certain gap between the flexible columns 31 to allow the heat and moisture of drying to pass through.

[0032] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the existing technology. The internal components of the electric slide rail, cylinder, welding machine, electric telescopic rod and controller all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, and their internal structure belongs to the existing technology structure. Workers can complete the normal operation of them according to the existing technical manual. In addition, the circuit connection adopts the conventional connection method in the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
