[0038] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, it is a white mold drying device for lost foam according to the present invention, comprising a drying tunnel 1, an air inlet pipe 11, a conveying track 12 and a conveying trolley 2; the conveying track 12 is arranged in the drying tunnel 1, and the white mold (not shown in the figure) is placed on the conveying trolley 2, and the conveying trolley 2 moves in the drying tunnel 1 along the conveying track 12; the drying tunnel 1 comprises an inner wall 13 and an outer wall 14, an air guide cavity 15 is formed between the inner wall 13 and the outer wall 14, the air inlet pipe 11 is connected to one side of the outlet end of the drying tunnel 1 and communicated with the air guide cavity 15, and a plurality of groups of air outlet units are formed on the inner wall 13 of the drying tunnel 1 and are spaced apart along the length direction of the drying tunnel 1.

[0040] Thus, the present invention relates to a white mold drying device for lost foam, in which the white mold is placed on the conveying trolley 2, and the conveying trolley 2 moves from the entrance end of the drying tunnel 1 to the exit end along the track; the dry hot air enters the air guide cavity 15 from the exit end side of the drying tunnel 1 through the air inlet pipe 11, and is discharged through the air outlet unit on the inner wall 13 of the drying tunnel 1. In this way, the undried white mold enters from the entrance end of the drying tunnel 1 and leaves from the exit end of the drying tunnel 1, and new white molds to be dried continuously enter the drying tunnel 1, and dried white molds continuously leave the drying tunnel 1, and the entire drying process is continuous and efficient.

[0041] Furthermore, a plurality of guide plates 151 corresponding to a plurality of groups of the air outlet units are formed in the air guide cavity 15, one end of the guide plate 151 is connected to the outer wall 14, and the end of the guide plate 151 away from the outer wall 14 is inclined toward the inlet direction of the drying tunnel 1, and the guide area of ​​the guide plate 151 gradually increases from the outlet end to the inlet end of the drying tunnel 1. By providing the guide plate 151, the air outlet volume of the air outlet units at different positions is made more uniform, so that the air outlet volume of the air outlet units close to the air inlet pipe 11 is prevented from being too large, and the air outlet units far from the air inlet pipe 11 are prevented from having almost no air outlet, thereby ensuring the drying effect. Preferably, each group of the air outlet units includes a plurality of air outlet holes 16 distributed circumferentially along the drying tunnel 1. In this way, the white mold is dried from multiple angles.

[0042] Preferably, the conveying tracks 12 are connected end to end, and the conveying trolley 2 moves along the conveying tracks 12 from the entrance end to the exit end of the drying tunnel 1 in the drying tunnel 1, and the conveying trolley 2 moves along the conveying tracks 12 from the exit end to the entrance end of the drying tunnel 1 outside the drying tunnel 1.

[0043] Preferably, the transport trolley 2 includes a white mold placing device for placing white molds, which is detachably connected to the trolley body. The white mold placing device is detachably connected. When drying is completed, the white mold placing device can be removed from the rotating shaft 24, and the white mold can be placed and removed from the white mold placing device separately, thereby improving the utilization rate of the trolley body and facilitating the workers to place the white molds.

[0044] Preferably, the trolley body includes a frame 21, wheels 22, a fixed seat 23, and a rotating shaft 24; the white mold placing device is a cylindrical placing cage 25, and a sleeve 251 is fixedly connected to the axis of the placing cage 25; the fixed seat 23 is fixedly connected to the frame 21, and the rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 23; the sleeve 251 of the placing cage 25 is detachably fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 24;

The trolley body moves along the conveying track 12, and the cylindrical gear 26 rotates due to meshing with the rack 18, and then drives the rotating shaft 24 to rotate through the transmission device, so that the placement cage 25 rotates when the trolley body moves from the entrance end to the exit end of the drying tunnel 1. In this way, the white mold can be dried more evenly by the dry hot air.

[0046] Preferably, the transmission device comprises a first bevel gear 271, a second bevel gear 272, a first pulley 273 and a second pulley 274; the first bevel gear 271 and the cylindrical gear 26 are coaxially fixedly connected; the second bevel gear 272 and the first pulley 273 are coaxially fixedly arranged and rotatably connected to the frame 21, the second pulley 274 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 24, a transmission belt 275 is wound around the first pulley 273 and the second pulley 274, and the first bevel gear 271 and the second bevel gear 272 are meshed with each other. Through the transmission of the first bevel gear 271 and the second bevel gear 272 and the first pulley 273 and the second pulley 274, the rotation of the cylindrical gear 26 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 24, thereby realizing the rotation of the placement cage 25.

[0047] Preferably, the placement cage 25 comprises a cage body 252, a cage cover 253 and a fixing nut 255, the sleeve 251 is fixedly connected to the cage body 252, a partition plate 254 is formed in the cage body 252, the partition plate 254 divides the inner cavity of the cage body 252 into a plurality of placement spaces, a through hole is formed in the center of the cage cover 253, the cage cover 253 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 24 through the through hole, the fixing nut 255 is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 24 and the cage cover 253 is pressed against the cage body 252, and the cage cover 253 covers all the placement spaces. The white mold is placed in the placement space, and the cage cover 253 prevents the white mold from falling out of the placement space.

[0048] Preferably, the entrance end of the drying tunnel 1 is provided with a pushing device 17 for pushing the conveying trolley 2 into the drying tunnel 1. The pushing device 17 abuts against the conveying trolley 2, and the conveying trolleys 2 in the drying tunnel 1 abut against each other to achieve a push from front to back. The pushing device 17 retracts after the pushing is completed, and when a new conveying trolley 2 with a white mold to be dried is placed in place under the pushing of a worker, the pushing device 17 abuts against the new conveying trolley 2 to push it, thus achieving a circular push.

[0049] Preferably, the pushing device 17 includes a hydraulic cylinder 171, a rotating bracket 172 and a rotating handle 173, wherein the hydraulic cylinder 171 and the rotating bracket 172 are fixedly connected; the rotating bracket 172 is hinged on a fixed bracket 19 outside the conveying track 12, and the rotating handle 173 is fixedly connected to the rotating bracket 172; the rotating bracket 172 has a pushing position and a storage position, and when the rotating bracket 172 is in the pushing position, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 171 abuts against the conveying trolley 2; when the rotating bracket 172 is in the storage position, the hydraulic cylinder 171 and the rotating bracket 172 are located outside the conveying track 12. In this way, the hydraulic cylinder 171 will not affect the movement of the conveying trolley 2 along the conveying track 12. When pushing is required, the hydraulic cylinder 171 can also be moved to the corresponding position through the rotating bracket 172.

[0050] The above embodiments and drawings do not limit the product form and style of the present invention. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field should be deemed to be within the patent scope of the present invention.
