Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed drying technology, and more specifically, to a feed drying device. Background Technology

[0002] To better preserve pelleted feed, it is necessary to dry it. Existing drying methods usually involve stirring the feed, which has a significant impact on the pelleted feed and can damage its particle size, making it smaller. Therefore, it is necessary to design a drying mechanism that can dry the feed while avoiding significant impact on it. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a feed drying device to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] Feed drying equipment, including air and granular materials, also includes;

[0006] Hollow cylinder;

[0007] The spiral channel is located inside the hollow cylinder and is isolated from the hollow cylinder. The particulate material moves from top to bottom along the spiral channel.

[0008] The ventilation holes are used to connect the hollow cylinder and the spiral channel; air enters the spiral channel through the hollow cylinder and the ventilation holes in sequence to dry the granular material.

[0009] Furthermore, the spiral channel is divided into a spiral base plate and a spiral cover. The air vents are located on the spiral base plate, and a closed cavity is formed between the spiral cover and the spiral base plate. The particulate material moves downward from the upper end of the closed cavity under the action of gravity.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a hole one at the upper end of the hollow cylinder and a hole two at the lower end of the hollow cylinder. A feeding hopper is provided in the hole one and is connected to the closed cavity. A discharging hopper is provided in the hole two and is connected to the closed cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, a tension spring is installed between the spiral channel and the hollow cylinder, a rubber ring is installed between the feed hopper and hole one, a rubber ring is installed between the discharge hopper and hole two, and a vibrator is installed on the spiral channel.

[0012] Furthermore, the cylindrical sidewall has circular holes arranged in a spiral pattern, and a spiral air passage is installed on the sidewall of the hollow cylindrical wall, with the spiral air passage corresponding to the circular holes. An air inlet pipe is installed on one side of the spiral air passage.

[0013] Furthermore, a baffle is installed on the vent hole to block the vent hole. The baffle is hinged to the vent hole. Air can blow up the baffle, which can throw up the material. The baffle can be reset under the action of gravity.

[0014] Furthermore, an inspection port is provided on the lower surface of the hollow cylinder.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the granular material is guided by the spiral channel, allowing it to fall autonomously under the action of gravity, avoiding large impacts and maintaining the integrity of the granular material.

[0016] The vents allow for the drying of particulate materials during movement. The baffles allow air to blow up the baffles, which in turn throw up the material, thus improving drying efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] This application provides a feed drying device; please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-6 : Including air 1 and particulate matter 2, and also including;

[0026] Hollow cylinder 3;

[0027] The spiral channel 4 is located inside the hollow cylinder 3 and is isolated from the hollow cylinder 3. The particulate material 2 moves from top to bottom along the spiral channel 4.

[0028] Ventilation hole 5 is used to connect hollow cylinder 3 and spiral channel 4; air 1 enters spiral channel 4 through hollow cylinder 3 and ventilation hole 5 to dry particulate material 2.

[0029] In practical applications, the granular material enters the spiral channel 4 through the granular material 33, moves from top to bottom along the spiral channel 4, is transported through the spiral channel 4, and is finally discharged through the discharge hopper 34.

[0030] Meanwhile, outside air 1 enters the spiral channel 4 through the hollow cylinder 3 and the air vent 5 to dry the granular material 2, and the airflow discharged from the air vent 5 can also promote the falling of the granular material 2.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The spiral channel 4 is divided into a spiral base plate 6 and a spiral cover 7. The air vent 5 is located on the spiral base plate 6. A closed cavity 8 is formed between the spiral cover 7 and the spiral base plate 6. The particulate material 2 moves downward from the upper end of the closed cavity 8 under the action of gravity.

[0032] In practical applications, the granular material 2 moves from top to bottom along the closed cavity 8. While air is blown through the vent 5, the drying purpose is achieved, and the falling of the granular material 2 can be actively promoted.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 It also includes a hole 31 at the upper end of the hollow cylinder 3, a hole 32 at the lower end of the hollow cylinder 3, a feed hopper 33 inside the hole 31, the feed hopper 33 being connected to the closed cavity 8, and a discharge hopper 34 inside the hole 32, the discharge hopper 34 being connected to the closed cavity 8.

[0034] In practical applications, the feed hopper 33 is fixedly connected to hole 1 31, and the discharge hopper 34 is fixedly connected to hole 2 32, so that the discharge hopper 34, feed hopper 33, spiral channel 4, and hollow cylinder 3 are in a fixed state.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4A tension spring 41 is installed between the spiral channel 4 and the hollow cylinder 3. A rubber ring 42 is installed between the feed hopper 33 and the first hole 31. A rubber ring 43 is installed between the discharge hopper 34 and the second hole 32. A vibrator 44 is installed on the spiral channel 4.

[0036] In practical applications, the spiral channel 4 and the hollow cylinder 3 are in a movable connection state. The spiral channel 4 and the hollow cylinder 3 are sealed by the action of rubber ring 42 and rubber ring 43. The tension spring 41 supports the spiral channel 4. The vibrator 44 can drive the spiral channel 4 to vibrate, further promoting the smooth falling of the granular material 2.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The hollow cylinder 3 has a circular hole 51 on its side wall, which is arranged in a spiral. A spiral air passage 52 is installed on the side wall of the hollow cylinder 3, which corresponds to the circular hole 51. An air inlet pipe 53 is installed on one side of the spiral air passage 52.

[0038] In practical applications, the air inlet pipe 53 first enters the spiral air passage 52, and through the spiral air passage 52, it enters the hollow cylinder 3 through the round hole 51 on the side wall of the hollow cylinder 3. Then, it enters the spiral channel 4 through the air vent 5, ultimately achieving the purpose of drying the granular material 2.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A baffle 61 is installed on the vent 5 to block the vent 5. The baffle 61 is hinged to the vent 5. Air 1 can blow up the baffle 61, the baffle 61 can throw up the material, and the baffle 61 can be reset under the action of gravity.

[0040] In practical applications, when the pressure exerted by air 1 on the partition 61 is greater than its own weight, the partition 61 can be lifted up. When the granular material 2 passes over it, it can be thrown up to a certain height, increasing the contact area between the granular material 2 and air 1 and improving drying efficiency. When the pressure exerted by air 1 on the partition 61 is less than its own weight, the partition 61 returns to its original position, while also preventing the granular material 2 from clogging the air vents 5.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The lower surface of the hollow cylinder 3 is provided with an inspection port 62.

[0042] In practical applications, the inspection port 62 facilitates manual inspection of the interior of the hollow cylinder 3.
