[0027] A horizontal support shaft 4 is placed inside the feed box 1. The support shaft 4 is located directly below the feed funnel 2 and is rotatably connected to the feed box 1. A motor 3 is fixedly installed on the feed box 1, and the output shaft of the motor 3 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the support shaft 4.
[0028] Multiple material distribution plates 5 are fixedly installed on the support shaft 4. Each material distribution plate 5 is parallel to the support shaft 4 and is arranged radially along the support shaft 4. The multiple material distribution plates 5 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the support shaft 4.
[0029] Two circular rotating plates 6 are fixedly mounted on the support shaft 4, and each material distribution plate 5 is located between the two circular rotating plates 6. The two adjacent material distribution plates 5 and the two circular rotating plates 6 together form a feeding trough.
[0030] Each feeding trough is equipped with a switch at its opening to control the opening and closing of the trough.
[0031] Specifically, the switching element includes a rotating shaft 8. Each circular rotating plate 6 has a rotating shaft 8 parallel to the support shaft 4 at its end away from the support shaft 4. Each rotating shaft 8 is located between two circular rotating plates 6 and is rotatably connected to both circular rotating plates 6.
[0032] A baffle 9 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 8. The baffle 9 is in contact with the end of the material distribution plate 5 where the rotating shaft 8 is located, away from the support shaft 4, and is in a limiting contact fit.
[0033] Multiple stop bars 7 parallel to the support shaft 4 are fixedly installed between the two circular rotating plates 6, and each stop bar 7 corresponds to a different rotating shaft 8. Each rotating shaft 8 is located between its corresponding stop bar 7 and its corresponding material distribution plate 5, and the baffle 9 on each rotating shaft 8 is in contact with and limited by the stop bar 7 corresponding to its rotating shaft 8.
[0034] A torsion spring is fitted on the rotating shaft 8. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the baffle 9, and the other end is fixedly connected to the circular rotating plate 6.
[0035] An air collecting hood 13 is fixedly and connected to the feed box 1. An air inlet 12 is opened on the feed box 1, and the air inlet 12 is connected to the air collecting hood 13 and the feed box 1.
[0036] The air collecting hood 13 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 14, which is connected to the pipe that introduces hot air into the drying barrel.
[0037] An air outlet 15 is provided on the feed box 1. Ventilation holes are provided on the two circular rotating plates 6, all the material distribution plates 5 and all the baffles 9.
[0038] The air inlet 12 refers to multiple air inlets arranged in a mesh pattern, and the air outlet 15 refers to multiple air outlets arranged in a mesh pattern.
[0039] It should be noted that the mixing tank in this embodiment refers to an existing tank equipped with a stirrer and used for drying plastic masterbatch. This includes, but is not limited to, the drying tank body in the plastic masterbatch drying equipment described in Publication No. CN214582234U.
[0040] Working principle: When using this device to dry plastic masterbatch, start motor 3. The output shaft of motor 3 drives the support shaft 4 to rotate, and the support shaft 4 drives the two circular rotating plates 6 and all the distributing plates 5 to rotate.
[0041] When the two circular rotating plates 6 rotate, they drive all the rotating shafts 8 to revolve synchronously around the support shaft 4. Each rotating shaft 8 drives the corresponding baffle 9 to revolve synchronously around the support shaft 4.
[0042] As the baffle 9 gradually rotates downwards towards the support shaft 4, the gravitational component of the baffle 9 gradually exceeds the elastic force of the torsion spring, causing the baffle 9 to gradually rotate closer to the stop rod 7 and eventually come into contact with it. During this process, the opening of the feeding chute is gradually opened.
[0043] As the baffle 9 gradually revolves upwards towards the support shaft 4, the gravitational component of the baffle 9 gradually becomes less than the elastic force of the torsion spring, and the baffle 9 gradually rotates away from the stop rod 7. When the baffle 9 revolves above the support shaft 4, the baffle 9 rotates into the feeding trough and abuts against the corresponding dividing plate 5. At the same time, a gap remains between the baffle 9 and the other dividing plate 5 that it abuts against, which together form the feeding trough.
[0044] During the rotation of motor 3, plastic masterbatch is added to feed box 1 through feed funnel 2. The plastic masterbatch enters the feeding trough through the gap between baffle 9 and corresponding distribution plate 5. As the support shaft 4 rotates and baffle 9 gradually opens the opening of the feeding trough, the plastic masterbatch gradually flows out of the feeding trough and flows into the drying barrel through guide plate 10.
[0045] During this process, hot air enters the feed box 1 through the connecting pipe 14, the air collecting hood 13, and the air inlet 12. The hot air is blown onto the plastic masterbatch through the vent, thus performing initial drying. The dried exhaust gas is discharged from the air outlet 15.
[0046] As the baffle 9 gradually opens the feed trough, it slows down the flow rate of the plastic masterbatch from the feed trough, allowing the plastic masterbatch to come into more full contact with the hot air during the initial drying process, thus improving the drying efficiency.
[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model 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 utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
