Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drying equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-station moisture meter drying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the preparation and testing of metal ore samples, moisture content analysis is performed, and specific requirements are placed on the moisture content and degree of dryness. For example, in relevant testing experiments, the moisture content needs to be controlled below 1%. However, the moisture content of samples varies during collection or preparation, necessitating drying. The difference before and after drying needs to be recorded to calculate the moisture content. Current technology typically uses weighing equipment such as balances to weigh the samples and drying equipment such as dryers to dry them. These two steps are performed separately and manually, resulting in complex operations and high labor and time costs. For large-scale production requiring automated production lines, traditional methods are no longer sufficient. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0020] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a multi-station moisture meter drying device. The technical solution of this application embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A multi-station moisture meter drying device is shown, comprising: a housing 1 and moisture meters 2; wherein, the housing 1 is a sealed square container with telescopic rods 11 on both sides, and a movable plate 12 covering the container is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rods 11. When the telescopic rods 11 extend or retract, they cause the movable plate 12 to open or close. It should be noted that the telescopic rods 11 are inclined so that when the movable plate 12 is opened, it is located above the opening, so as not to obstruct the material from entering or exiting at the opening. A heating device is provided at the bottom of the housing 1 to provide heat energy for drying, and an air circulation device is provided at the top of the housing 1 to circulate the internal hot air. A rack 17 is provided inside the housing 1 to hold the moisture meters 2. The moisture meters 2 include a support, a pressure sensor 23, and a tray 28. The pressure sensor 23 is connected to the rack 17 via the support, and the tray 28 is placed on the pressure sensor 23 with a gap for handling. Multiple moisture meters 2 are arranged and placed inside the housing 1.

[0022] Therefore, in this application, instead of a traditional drying oven, a square container is used as the drying container. Inside, a moisture meter 2, consisting of a pressure sensor 23, is placed for real-time weighing. When the material is placed on the pressure sensor 23, an initial weighing value is generated. As drying progresses and moisture evaporates, the value of the pressure sensor 23 continuously changes until the material is completely dried, at which point the value of the pressure sensor 23 stops changing. During this process, the pressure sensor 23 records the drying process and changes in material dehydration in real time, thus obtaining the material's moisture content and dehydration performance. The moisture content of the material is determined by the changes in data at the beginning and end. Throughout the process, all equipment is electrically connected to a controller, which performs unified control, records data, and draws conclusions. Combined with the opening and closing of the chamber using the telescopic rod 11, it can work with a robotic arm to achieve automatic flow-line drying of the material on the tray 28, record data, and draw conclusions. Furthermore, this application can be connected to a computer via a controller and programmed to achieve computer-controlled automatic weighing, accurate readings, automatic generation of process record curve reports, and automatic saving and uploading of test results. It has advantages such as flexible and convenient installation, accurate and traceable test results, full automation, avoidance of manual operation, and the shortest test time.

[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the heating device includes a column 15, a baffle 16, and a heater 18. The column 15 is connected to the bottom of the housing 1, and the heater 18 is connected to the column 15. The heater 18 is connected to a power source. The baffle 16, which is a perforated plate, is located on the housing 1 above the heater 18. The air circulation device includes a motor 14, air ducts 13, and a circulating fan 19. The motor 14 is fixedly located at the center of the top outer side of the housing 1, and its shaft extends into the housing 1, with the circulating fan 19 connected to its shaft. Three air ducts 13 are provided, located at the bottom and top of the housing 1 on both sides of the motor 14, respectively. The air ducts 13 connect the inside and outside of the housing 1.

[0024] Thus, this application generates the heat energy required for drying through the electric heater 18, and gradually dries the material by circulating the internal heat energy through the circulating fan 19. It should be noted that the circulating fan 19 should not be a direct-blowing fan, but rather disperse the airflow to the side, such as a bladeless tower fan, or a guide shroud for airflow diversion, etc.

[0025] In one embodiment, to prevent the moisture meter from obstructing the circulation of heat over a large area, such as... Figures 3 to 6As shown, the support structure includes a lower support 21, an upper support 22, a connector 24, a connecting column 25, and a grooved plate 26. The lower support 21 and the upper support 22 are two identical X-shaped plates formed by the joining of two Y-shaped plates. First screw holes 211 are formed on all four sides of each plate, and second screw holes 212 are formed in the center near the fork. This design minimizes the area while ensuring support strength, thus preventing heat blockage.

[0026] The connector 24 is configured as two parts, which are fixedly installed above the pressure sensor 23 and below the connecting column 25, respectively. One end of the connecting column 25 is fastened to the upper support 22 by screws, and the pressure sensor 23 is fastened to the lower support 21 by screws. The two parts of the connector 24 are fastened together by screws. This facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the pressure sensor 23.

[0027] A grooved plate 26 is positioned above the upper support member 22. A connecting plate 27 is connected to the grooved plate 26, and the tray 28 is placed on the connecting plate 27. The lower support member 21 is fastened to the placement frame 17 by screws. The grooved plate 26 is a plate with an open groove, and a central through hole 262 is formed in its center. A first through hole 261 is formed around the central through hole 262. The grooved plate 26 is snapped onto the upper support member 22 so that the four corners of the upper support member 22 abut against the four corners of the groove in the grooved plate 26, thus facilitating the stable placement of the tray 28.

[0028] The corresponding support and connectors in this application do not occupy a large area and facilitate the contact of heat flow with the tray 28, thus facilitating the rapid drying of materials.

[0029] In one embodiment, the connecting plate 27 is configured as a Z-shaped plate, which facilitates the formation of a gap between the pallet 28 and the grooved plate 26 to facilitate the robotic arm to pick up the pallet 28.

[0030] In one embodiment, to facilitate the observation of the drying process and the statistical recording of data, an electronic thermometer and an electronic hygrometer are installed inside the chamber 1. The electronic thermometer, electronic hygrometer, pressure sensor, heater, and motor are electrically connected to a controller.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relationships such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "include," "contain," or any other variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
