Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a plant specimen drying device, in particular to a portable specimen drying device capable of storing specimens, and belongs to the field of plant specimen drying equipment. Background Art

[0002] Biodiversity analysis, ecological and environmental protection, forest resource exploration, and systematic taxonomic research all require the collection of plant specimens. Plant specimen collection often takes place in the field, and the timely and effective drying of plant specimens is crucial to their integrity and validity. This also significantly impacts subsequent experimental analysis, data extraction, and the credibility and reproducibility of scientific research results.

[0003] Laboratory-specific specimen drying devices are difficult to meet the needs of drying specimens collected in the field due to their size and weight, and there are few reports on mature portable and storable specimen drying devices.

[0004] Currently, there are the following difficulties in drying plant specimens in a non-laboratory environment: (1) the specimen drying device should be foldable and storable for easy carrying; (2) the internal heating temperature of the specimen drying device should be uniform to improve the drying efficiency; and (3) continuous hot air should be provided for drying the specimens.

[0005] Currently, there are devices that can be used to dry specimens in time after field specimen collection, but they have the following shortcomings in actual use:

[0006] (1) Inconvenient to transport and fold;

[0007] (2) The internal heating temperature of the drying device is uneven and the drying efficiency is low;

[0008] (3) The hair dryer has a short continuous working time. If the hair dryer works continuously for a long time, it is very easy to malfunction. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to propose a portable specimen storage drying device. The key structural design is considered from the aspects of the storage device, the guide plate, and the double air inlet. The storage device is composed of a steel wire frame and a cover body. The cover body is made of polyester material, which is foldable, high temperature resistant, and easy to transport. The double air inlet structure uses CFD technology to simulate and analyze the airflow inside the drying device to achieve uniform distribution of hot air and improve drying efficiency. Multiple guide plates are placed in an S shape in the specimen clamp. After the hair dryer starts working, the hot air covers each layer of plant specimens under the action of the guide plates. The use of two or more air inlets can improve the airflow distribution and improve the drying efficiency. The hair dryers connected to the air inlets work alternately, which can significantly reduce the failure rate of the hair dryer.

[0010] The object of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0011] A portable specimen drying device that can be stored, characterized in that: the portable specimen drying device that can be stored includes a polyester cover, an air outlet, a fan interface, an electric hair dryer, a fan bracket, an air inlet, a steel wire frame, a bottom plate, a guide plate, a cover opening, and a zipper; the specific connection relationship is: the steel wire frame and the polyester cover constitute the storage device; the cover opening is located at the top of the polyester cover, and a zipper is provided on the edge of the opening; the air inlet is located on both sides below the polyester cover; the air outlet is located on one side above the polyester cover; the air inlet and the air outlet are both made of polyester; the fan bracket is fixedly connected to the electric hair dryer; the fan interface is connected to the air outlet of the electric hair dryer; the fan interface is connected to the air inlets on both sides; corrugated paper, plant specimens and the guide plate are made into a specimen clamp; multiple guide plates are placed in an S shape in the specimen clamp; the specimen clamp is placed in the polyester cover; the bottom plate is located below the specimen clamp to play a supporting role.

[0012] The advantages of the present invention are:

[0013] (1) The steel wire frame, polyester cover, fan bracket, hair dryer and other components can be disassembled and assembled on site for easy transportation;

[0014] (2) Multiple guide plates are placed in an S shape in the specimen holder. The hot air can evenly cover each layer of plant specimens under the action of the guide plates, thereby improving the drying uniformity;

[0015] (3) Double air inlets can improve air flow distribution and increase drying efficiency;

[0016] (4) The hair dryer can work alternately, which can extend the working time and significantly reduce the failure rate of the hair dryer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
