Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic product processing technology, and specifically to a plastic product drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic products are made from plastic as a base material through various molding processes such as injection molding and vacuum forming. They are widely used in various products in both daily life and industrial fields. As a synthetic polymer material with plasticity, plastic often requires the assistance of special solutions during the product manufacturing process to achieve precise shaping. This inevitably leaves moisture residue on the surface of the molded plastic products. To ensure product quality and performance, drying is an essential and critical step.
[0003] A search revealed that patent CN220169798U discloses a plastic product drying device. While this device includes a collection system for water leaking from the plastic products during drying, preventing moisture accumulation inside the treatment chamber and thus improving drying efficiency, it still suffers from significant technical problems. Firstly, after filtration and collection, residual water fails to drain effectively, leading to secondary water accumulation inside the device. As the drying process continues, this accumulated water evaporates upon heating, interfering with the drying process, reducing drying efficiency, causing unstable product quality, and potentially resulting in uneven local humidity. Secondly, the high-temperature gases generated during drying contain a large amount of waste heat, which traditional devices often directly release into the environment, resulting in significant energy waste, increased production costs, and contradicting the green production principles of energy conservation and emission reduction. Therefore, there is an urgent need for technical improvements and optimized design of existing plastic product drying devices. Utility Model Content

[0022] Furthermore, an exhaust pipe is embedded at the end of the coil opposite to the discharge pipe, and the exhaust pipe is in communication with the gas in the coil.
[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are:
[0024] The exhaust pipe serves as the final outlet for waste gas, ensuring the orderly discharge of low-temperature waste gas after heat recovery.

[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiments provided by this utility model are as follows:
[0040] Example 1
[0041] A plastic product drying device includes a drying box 1, an air inlet pipe 2 is embedded and fixed on the side end face of the drying box 1, an electric heating tube 205 is installed in the air inlet pipe 2, and a tray 4 is provided inside the drying box 1.
[0042] A filter 201 and a coil 203 are fixedly installed inside the intake pipe 2;
[0043] An exhaust pump 3 is installed on the top surface of the drying oven 1. The exhaust pump 3 is equipped with a discharge pipe 301 and an extraction pipe 302. A guide rod 402 and a hydraulic rod 403 are installed on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the drying oven 1.
[0044] The air inlet pipe 2 is in gas communication with the drying chamber 1. An air intake fan 204 is installed inside the air inlet pipe 2 to introduce external air and ensure a continuous and stable supply of drying airflow. Combined with heating from the electric heating element 205, this forms a controllable hot air source. The gas communication design allows hot air to enter the drying chamber 1 evenly for drying operations.
[0045] The front end of the drying oven 1 is fitted with a cover plate via a hinge, and the bottom end of the drying oven 1 is fitted with casters. The cover plate: the hinge structure enables quick opening and closing, facilitating the placement and removal of plastic products, while also sealing the cavity to reduce heat loss; the casters: enhance the mobility of the device, adapt to the needs of workshop production line adjustments or maintenance, and improve the practicality of the equipment.
[0046] The end of the extraction pipe 302 facing away from the exhaust pump 3 is embedded and fixed inside the drying chamber 1. The exhaust pump 3 is connected to the drying chamber 1 through the extraction pipe 302. The extraction pipe 302 is directly embedded inside the drying chamber 1, allowing the exhaust pump 3 to extract humid and hot exhaust gas. This design maintains a negative pressure environment inside the chamber, accelerates the discharge of moisture, prevents water vapor from condensing and flowing back inside the chamber, and ensures drying efficiency.
[0047] One end of the exhaust pipe 301, away from the exhaust pump 3, passes through the intake pipe 2 and is embedded and fixed inside the coil 203. The coil 203 is connected to the exhaust pump 3 via the exhaust pipe 301. The exhaust pump 3 pumps the extracted waste gas to the coil 203 through the exhaust pipe 301, using the waste heat of the waste gas to preheat the newly entering air (heat recovery). This reduces the heating energy consumption of the electric heating element 205, meeting energy conservation and environmental protection requirements.
[0048] An exhaust pipe 202 is embedded at one end of the coil 203 away from the discharge pipe 301. The exhaust pipe 202 is connected to the coil 203 in gas communication. The exhaust pipe 202 serves as the final outlet for exhaust gas, ensuring that the low-temperature exhaust gas after heat recovery is discharged in an orderly manner.
[0049] Example 2
[0050] To preheat plastic products to avoid direct contact with drying hot air, and to allow them to come into contact with hot air only after preheating is complete, for example, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model also includes:
[0051] The output end of the hydraulic rod 403 is installed on the bottom surface of the tray 4. The bottom surface of the tray 4 is fixedly installed with a limit frame 401. The limit frame 401 is slidably sleeved in the guide rod 402. The hydraulic rod 403 controls the height of the tray 4, so that the plastic products avoid the high-temperature air inlet during the preheating stage (low position) and are only preheated by convection inside the box. During the drying stage (high position), they are in direct contact with hot air, avoiding deformation and cracking caused by thermal shock. The limit frame 401 and the guide rod 402 ensure that the tray 4 is lifted vertically without deviation, ensuring the stability of the load.
[0052] Working principle:
[0053] Personnel place the plastic products to be dried on tray 4. After placement, the air intake fan 204 is activated, drawing outside air into the air intake pipe 2. The air passes through filter screen 201 to remove impurities before entering the drying chamber 1. At this time, the electric heating element 205 starts working, heating the air in the air intake pipe 2 to form a controllable hot air source. The hot air enters the drying chamber 1 evenly through the gas communication channel between the air intake pipe 2 and the drying chamber 1, providing heat for drying the plastic products.
[0054] As the drying process proceeds, hot and humid exhaust gas is generated inside the drying chamber 1. The exhaust pump 3 extracts this exhaust gas from the drying chamber 1 via the extraction pipe 302, which is directly embedded inside the chamber to ensure effective extraction, maintain a negative pressure environment, and accelerate moisture removal. The exhaust pump 3 then transports the extracted exhaust gas to the coil 203 via the discharge pipe 301, utilizing the residual heat to preheat the air newly entering the intake pipe 2, achieving heat recovery. The low-temperature exhaust gas after heat recovery is then discharged systematically through the exhaust pipe 202, which is connected to the gas in the coil 203.
[0055] During the preheating stage, the hydraulic rod 403 controls the tray 4 to descend to a low position, allowing the plastic products to avoid the high-temperature air inlet and only undergo gentle preheating through the convection of hot air within the drying chamber 1, preventing deformation or cracking of the plastic products due to high temperatures. Once the drying stage begins, the hydraulic rod 403 pushes the tray 4 to a high position, allowing the plastic products to directly contact the hot air, ensuring uniform and reliable drying. The limiting frame 401 is slidably fitted within the guide rod 402, ensuring that the tray 4 remains vertically aligned during lifting and lowering, guaranteeing load-bearing stability.
[0056] Operators can quickly open and close the cover on the front side of the drying oven 1 using the hinge structure, facilitating the placement and removal of plastic products. Simultaneously, the closed cover effectively seals the cavity, reducing heat loss. Casters installed on the bottom of the drying oven 1 allow the device to be flexibly moved according to workshop layout, production line adjustments, or equipment maintenance needs, enhancing the equipment's versatility and practicality.
[0057] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.
