[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] This utility model provides a drying structure for a glass washing machine, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the system includes: a frame 1, a drying chamber 2, an air knife 3, and a drying assembly. The frame 1 supports the drying structure of the glass washing machine. One end of the frame 1 has a feed chute, and the other end has a discharge chute. The drying chamber 2 is located on the frame 1 and has drive wheels at its bottom, driven by a motor. The drying chamber 2 also has auxiliary wheels to assist in glass movement and provide a suitable drying environment. The air knife 3 is connected to the drying chamber 2, with one end connected to an air pipe and the other end connected to an air compressor. The air compressor is installed inside the frame 1 and is used for drying the glass. The drying assembly includes a connector 4 and a fan. 5. The flow guide 6 and the heating element 7 are located on the outside of the discharge chute. The connecting element 4 can be a connecting cylinder and is connected to the frame 1. The fan 5 is set on the connecting element 4. The flow guide 6 can be a flow guide shroud. The shape of the flow guide 6 is conical. The size of the end of the flow guide 6 near the connecting element 4 is larger than the size of the other end. The flow guide 6 is connected to the connecting element 4. The heating element 7 can be an electric heating tube and is set on the flow guide 6. The fan 5 drives the gas to flow along the heating element 7 through the flow guide 6. There are two flow guides 6 on the frame 1, and the two flow guides 6 are set correspondingly. There are multiple fans 5 evenly spaced on the connecting element 4.

[0028] The air-drying component enables a dual air-drying process for the glass, ensuring that hot air evenly and effectively covers the glass surface, significantly improving the drying speed and effect, effectively removing surface water stains, and ensuring that there are no water marks left on the glass surface.

[0029] In use, the glass to be cleaned enters the drying chamber 2 through the feeding chute. The drive wheel at the bottom of the drying chamber 2 and the auxiliary wheel inside work together to smoothly transport the glass through the drying area. At this time, the air compressor starts and generates compressed air, which is delivered to the air knife 3 through the air pipe. The air knife 3 drives the airflow to directly impact the glass surface, peeling off the water droplets and water film attached to the glass surface (the air knife 3 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here). As the glass continues to move, it will come out through the discharge chute. Then the drying assembly starts to work. Multiple fans 5 draw air through the air inlet and send the airflow into the conical guide 6 through the air outlet of the fan 5. The airflow is heated when it flows through the heating element 7, thus forming hot air. The conical design accelerates and concentrates the hot airflow. Since there are two guides 6 on the frame 1, arranged on the left and right to cover both sides of the glass, the hot air acts on the glass surface, which not only provides heat to accelerate the evaporation of the residual water film, but also assists the airflow to further remove moisture.

[0030] Specifically, the drying chamber 2 is located inside the frame 1, one end of the air knife 3 is fixedly connected to the inside of the drying chamber 2, the connector 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame 1, multiple fans 5 are installed inside the connector 4, one end of the connector 4 is fixedly connected to the guide 6, and the heating element 7 is fixedly installed inside the guide 6.

[0031] To ensure the glass reaches the drying area accurately, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it also includes a limiting assembly, which includes a movable part 8, a positioning part 9, a threaded sleeve 10, a threaded part 11, and a driving part 12. The movable part 8 is located inside the feed chute and can be a movable plate. The movable part 8 is movably mounted on the frame 1. The positioning part 9 can be a positioning rod and is connected to the movable part 8. Both sides of one end of the movable part 8 are beveled. The threaded sleeve 10 is connected to the positioning part 9 and is movably mounted on the frame 1. The threaded part 11 can be a threaded rod and is connected to the threaded sleeve 10. The driving component 12 can be a motor. The output end of the driving component 12 is connected to the threaded component 11. The driving component 12 drives the movable component 8 to move in the horizontal direction through the threaded component 11. The movable component 8 is provided with a limiting component 13, which can be a limiting plate. The limiting component 13 is slidably set on the frame 1. There are two positioning components 9 on the movable component 8. The two positioning components 9 are located at both ends of the movable component 8.

[0032] By using a limiting component, the position of the movable part 8 can be adjusted according to the width of the glass, thereby changing the channel width of the feed chute. This ensures that glass of different sizes can pass through the drying area stably, ensuring that the glass accurately reaches the drying area and guaranteeing the drying efficiency of the glass.

[0033] In use, first adjust the width of the feed trough according to the width of the glass to be cleaned. Then start the drive unit 12. The output end of the drive unit 12 rotates, causing the threaded part 11 to rotate synchronously. Since the threaded part 11 is connected to the inside of the threaded sleeve 10 by threads, and both ends of the threaded sleeve 10 are limited by the limiting parts 13, the threaded sleeve 10 can only move horizontally. The rotational motion of the threaded part 11 is converted into the linear motion of the threaded sleeve 10 in the horizontal direction. The movement of the threaded sleeve 10 causes the positioning part 9 to move synchronously. The movement of the positioning part 9 causes the movable part 8 to move synchronously. The movement of the movable part 8 can adjust the width of the feed trough. Also, since both sides of one end of the movable part 8 are provided with inclined surfaces, the inclined surface design helps to guide the glass to enter smoothly.

[0034] Specifically, the outer surface of the movable part 8 is movably connected to the inside of the frame 1. Positioning parts 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of one end of the movable part 8. A threaded sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the positioning part 9. The threaded sleeve 10 is movably connected to the inside of the frame 1. A threaded part 11 is threadedly connected inside the threaded sleeve 10. One end of the threaded part 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive part 12. Limiting parts 13 are fixedly connected to both ends of the threaded sleeve 10. The outer surface of the limiting part 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the frame 1.

[0035] Working principle: In actual use, the width of the feed trough is first adjusted according to the width of the glass to be cleaned. Then, the drive unit 12 is started. The output end of the drive unit 12 rotates, causing the threaded part 11 to rotate synchronously. Since the threaded part 11 is connected to the inside of the threaded sleeve 10 by threads, and both ends of the threaded sleeve 10 are limited by the limiting parts 13, the threaded sleeve 10 can only move horizontally. The rotational motion of the threaded part 11 is converted into the linear motion of the threaded sleeve 10 in the horizontal direction. The movement of the threaded sleeve 10 causes the positioning part 9 to move synchronously. The movement of the positioning part 9 causes the movable part 8 to move synchronously. The movement of the movable part 8 can adjust the width of the feed trough. Since there are inclined surfaces on both sides of one end of the movable part 8, the inclined surface design helps to guide the glass to enter smoothly. The position of the movable part 8 can be adjusted according to the width of the glass, thereby changing the channel width of the feed trough. This ensures that glass of different sizes can pass through the drying area stably, ensuring that the glass accurately reaches the drying area and ensuring the drying efficiency of the glass.

[0036] The glass to be cleaned then enters the drying chamber 2 through the feeding chute. The drive wheels at the bottom of the drying chamber 2 and the internal auxiliary wheels work together to smoothly transport the glass through the drying area. At this time, the air compressor starts, generating compressed air which is delivered to the air knife 3 through the air pipe. The air knife 3 drives the airflow to directly impact the glass surface, peeling off the water droplets and water film adhering to the glass surface (the air knife 3 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here). As the glass continues to move, it will come out through the discharge chute. Then the drying assembly starts to work. Multiple fans 5 draw air through the air inlet and send the airflow out through the air outlet. Inside the conical air guide 6, the airflow is heated as it flows through the heating element 7, thus forming hot air. The conical design accelerates and concentrates the hot airflow. Since there are two corresponding air guides 6 on the frame 1, arranged left and right to cover both sides of the glass, the hot air acts on the glass surface, not only providing heat to accelerate the evaporation of residual water film, but also assisting the airflow to further remove moisture. This enables a double drying process for the glass, ensuring that the hot air evenly and effectively covers the glass surface, significantly improving the drying speed and effect of the glass, effectively removing surface water stains, and ensuring that there are no water marks left on the glass surface.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
