The invention claimed is:
1 . A super absorbent polymer drying apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
a conveyor for transferring the super absorbent polymer; and a hot air blower configured to supply dry hot air to the conveyor, wherein the conveyor comprises:
a plurality of conveyor beds connected to each other in a bent state;
a plurality of links to connect the plurality of conveyor beds each having a bed body to comprise a plurality of bed bodies, and the link having a link protrusion that is protruded from one side of each of the bed body and is inserted into a connection groove of each adjacent bed body, wherein the connection groove is formed on a side surface of each of the bed body so that the link is connected;
a driving part having a rack gear, a pinion gear to drive the plurality of conveyor beds;
wherein the plurality of bed bodies having a surface for the super absorbent polymer to be seated and transferred; and
wherein, the plurality of bed bodies are inclinedly connected to each other in an angle range of 90 to 170 degrees.
2 . The super absorbent polymer drying apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the driving part further comprises: the rack gear installed along an edge of each of the bed body; and the pinion gear meshed with the rack gear to provide a moving driving force to each of the bed body.
3 . The super absorbent polymer drying apparatus of claim 2 , wherein
the rack gear comprises: a first rack gear installed along an upper side surface edge of each of the bed body; and a second rack gear installed along a lower side surface edge of each of the bed body.
4 . The super absorbent polymer drying apparatus of claim 3 , wherein
the pinion gear comprises: a first pinion gear that transfers a rotational driving force to the first rack gear from an upper side of each of the bed body; and a second pinion gear that transfers a rotational driving force to the second rack gear from a lower side of each of the bed body.
5 . The super absorbent polymer drying apparatus of claim 4 , wherein
the first pinion gear is meshed with the first rack gear at an upper side of a position where the plurality of bed bodies are inclinedly connected to each other.
6 . The super absorbent polymer drying apparatus of claim 5 , wherein
the second pinion gear is meshed with the second rack gear at an upper side of a position where the plurality of bed bodies are inclinedly connected to each other.
