Figure 2 is a front view showing the present invention, Figure 3 is a plan view of Figure 2 and Figure 6 is a right side view showing the configuration of the drum, the present invention is the first upper door (5) on the upper portion of the main body 4 made in the shape of a housing Is installed in a retractable manner along the guide rail 6 and the rod of the first cylinder 7 having one end fixed to the main body 4 is fixed to the first upper door. The chute 8 is opened and closed.

In addition, a plurality of first lower doors 9 are formed in the lower part of the main body 4 so as to be rotatable about the shaft 10. The first lower door 9 closes the lower chute 11. The test joints overlap each other.

A second cylinder 12 for opening and closing the first lower door is provided outside the first lower door 9, and links 14 are fixed to the respective shafts 10 of the first lower door, and the respective links are fixed. The rod 12a of the second cylinder 12 is hinged so that the first lower door 9 rotates simultaneously with the driving of the second cylinder 12 to open or close the lower chute 11. .

On the other hand, as the rotary shaft 15 rotates, the second phase and the lower doors 16 and 17 divided into a plurality of upper and lower portions of the drum 1 drying the raw material introduced under high temperature are arranged on the shafts 18 and 19. The second phase, the lower doors (16) and (17) are connected to each other when the passages for closing or closing the passage for inputting or discharging raw materials into the drum.

The third and fourth cylinders 20 and 21 for opening and closing the second and lower doors 16 and 17 are provided outside the drum 1, and each shaft 18 of the second and lower doors is provided. Links 22 and 23 are fixed to 19, and each link is hinged to the rods 20a and 21a of the third and fourth cylinders 20 and 21 so that the third and fourth cylinders 20 are connected. The second upper door 16 or the second lower door 17 which is formed into a plurality of parts according to the optional driving of 21) rotates at the same time to open or close the passage to the drum.

The third and fourth cylinders 20 and 21 installed on the drum 1 to open and close the second and lower doors 16 and 17 may have air through the air line 24 formed on the rotating shaft 15. It is configured to be supplied.

That is, since the rotary shaft 15 and the drum 1 rotate together at the time of drying the raw material introduced into the drum 1, the air line 24 can be configured not to be twisted.

And the lower part of the main body 4 is provided with a conveyor belt 25 for automatically conveying the dried raw material discharged from the drum 1 to the next process.

In addition, the second lower door 17 formed on the drum 1 is opened to the upper side of the lower chute 11 so that the raw material is stable through the lower chute 11 when the dried raw material is discharged to the conveyor belt 25 side. The downwardly inclined guide plate 26 for guiding to be discharged to the air is fixed.

Referring to the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, the control unit (not shown) to stop the rotation of the drum 1 in a state in which the second upper door 16 formed on the drum 1 is consistent with the upper chute 8 formed on the main body 4 at all times. Is set.

Therefore, when the raw material to be dried is introduced into the drum 1, the air line 24 formed on the rotating shaft 15 while simultaneously opening the first upper door 5 by driving the first cylinder 7 is provided. Air is supplied through the third cylinder 20 to open the second upper door 16.

Accordingly, the second upper door 16 is simultaneously opened about the shaft 18 so that the passage of the upper chute 8 and the drum 1 passes through the drum 1 It is possible to inject inside.

That is, when the third cylinder 20 is driven to open the second upper door 16 of the drum 1, the rod 20a of the third cylinder 20 is pushed forward, and thus the link 22 is pushed. As shown by the solid line, the second upper doors 16, which overlap each other, rotate at the same time as indicated by the dashed-dotted line to open the passage, thereby enabling the input of raw materials.

As described above, when the raw material is introduced into the drum 1, the first and second lower doors 9 and 17 are of course kept closed.

After the raw materials are introduced into the drum 1 as described above, the first and third cylinders 7 and 20 are re-driven to close the first and second upper doors 5 and 16 at the same time, and the drum ( Rotating 1) performs drying until the moisture content of the raw material reaches the set value.

When the water content of the raw material reaches the set value due to the continuous rotation of the drum 1, the rotation of the drum 1 is stopped and the second cylinder 12 is driven in the opposite manner to the above to operate the first lower door 9. The lower chute 11 is opened by rotating.

That is, when the second cylinder 12 is driven, the rod 12a of the second cylinder 12 is pushed forward, and the link 14 is pushed, so that the first lower doors overlapped with each other as shown in FIG. At the same time as shown by the dashed-dotted line 9), the lower chute 11 is opened.

Subsequently, when the fourth cylinder 21 located below the drum 1 is driven, the second lower door 17 rotates at the same time to open the passage as in the case of the input of the raw material, so that the raw material is removed from the drum 1. Ejection is possible, a detailed description thereof is as described above and will be omitted.

As described above, the present invention automatically inserts a large amount of raw material into the drum in the state where the upper chute and the upper door are automatically opened, and automatically opens the lower door and the lower chute after the drying of the raw material, thereby automatically opening the high temperature raw material. And then it is transferred to the next process through the conveyor belt, which greatly reduces the time required for adding and discharging the food into the drum, thereby improving the productivity and also during the input and discharge of raw materials in the high temperature drum. Inadvertently, the operator can be prevented from being injured such as burns.
