Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Example:
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a suspended drying conveyor line includes:
[0024] Track 23, installed according to usage requirements;
[0025] Multiple drying boxes 24 are fixedly mounted outside the track 23;
[0026] Multiple drying modules, each drying module including a first connecting rod 26, a second connecting rod 30 and a clamping component;
[0027] A first connecting rod 26 is slidably disposed within the track 23 along the length of the track 23.
[0028] The second connecting rod 30 is disposed at one end of the first connecting rod 26 that extends downward out of the track 23;
[0029] Two sets of clamping members are fixed at both ends of the second connecting rod 30;
[0030] The inner wall of the drying oven 24 is fixed with a heating wire 31, which is electrically connected to an external power source.
[0031] The track 23 is installed in a suitable position, and multiple drying boxes 24 are set on the track 23. When the leather needs to be dried, the leather to be dried is first placed on two sets of clamps. The first connecting rod 26 moves along the length of the track 23. The first connecting rod 26 drives the second connecting rod 30 to move. The second connecting rod 30 drives the two sets of clamps to move. The two sets of clamps drive the leather to move and enter the drying box 24. The drying box 24 dries the leather. By using the track 23 to transport the leather, a large number of leathers can be dried at the same time to meet the user's drying needs.
[0032] like Figure 2As shown, each set of clamping components includes two clamping plates 13 and two friction wheels 36. Each clamping plate 13 has two opposing storage slots 37 at its bottom end. A first limiting block 43 is fixed between the two clamping plates 13. The first limiting block 43 is located between the two storage slots 37 of the same clamping plate 13. Two second limiting blocks 38 are fixed between the two clamping plates 13. The two second limiting blocks 38 are located on the front and rear sides of the first limiting block 43. The two friction wheels 36 are slidably disposed between the second limiting blocks 38 and the first limiting blocks 43. The two friction wheels 36 and the two second limiting blocks 38 cooperate with each other. When the friction wheels 36 are needed to clamp the leather, first push the friction wheels 36 upward to place the edge of the leather between the friction wheels 36 and the second limiting blocks 38. Release the friction wheels 36, and the friction wheels 36 move downward under the action of gravity. The friction wheels 36 and the second limiting blocks 38 cooperate to clamp the leather.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each set of clamping components has a sliding groove 44 with an upward opening at the top of the first limiting block 43. A third connecting rod 39 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 44 along its length. An elastic element 12 is connected between the bottom end of the third connecting rod 39 and the bottom wall of the sliding groove 44. A fourth connecting rod 42 is fixedly arranged at the top of the third connecting rod 39. Two fifth connecting rods 45 are fixedly arranged at the bottom of the fourth connecting rod 42. The two fifth connecting rods 45 abut against the two friction wheels 36 one-to-one. 2. Two sixth connecting rods 40 are fixed at the top. Each clamping piece 13 has a circular hole 41 that runs through it from left to right. The second connecting rod 30 passes through the circular hole 41. The two sixth connecting rods 40 abut against the second connecting rod 30. The friction wheel 36 moves upward, driving the fifth connecting rod 45 to move upward. The fifth connecting rod 45 drives the sixth connecting rod 40 to move upward through the fourth connecting rod 42. The sixth connecting rod 40 moves upward and disengages from the second connecting rod 30, so that the clamping piece can move and adjust its position on the second connecting rod 30.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the drying chamber 24 has two air vents 20, and the top of the drying chamber 24 is fixedly equipped with a gas collection hood 22. The top of the gas collection hood 22 is connected to a conveying pipe 21, which is connected to an external device. When the external device is started, the water vapor generated inside the drying chamber 24 is drawn in through the conveying pipe 21.
[0035] like Figure 1As shown, a conveyor belt 19 is slidably disposed within the track 23 along the length of the track 23. The conveyor belt 19 is connected to an external power device, which drives the conveyor belt 19 to slide within the track 23. Several buckles 18 are fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the track 23 to restrict the conveyor belt 19. The drying module includes a first connecting block 25 and a second connecting block 17. The first connecting block 25 is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the conveyor belt 19, and the second connecting block 17 is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the first connecting block 25. The first connecting rod 26 is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the second connecting block 17.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom end of the first connecting rod 26 is provided with an adjustment groove 16. The inner walls of the left and right sides of the adjustment groove 16 are provided with connecting grooves 27. The seventh connecting rod 29 is slidably mounted in the adjustment groove 16. The seventh connecting rod 29 is provided with a limiting hole 14. A screw 28 with a nut passes through the limiting hole 14, the adjustment groove 16 and the two connecting grooves 27. The end of the screw 28 without a nut is threaded with a nut 15. After loosening the nut 15, the distance between the seventh connecting rod 29 and the first connecting rod 26 can be adjusted, thereby clamping leather of different specifications.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the drying box 24 has a force-bearing strip 33 fixed on both the left and right end faces. A collection box 35 is placed at the bottom of the drying box 24. A first connecting strip 34 is fixed on both the left and right end faces of the collection box 35. A second connecting strip 32 is fixed on the top of each of the first connecting strips 34. A third connecting strip 11 is fixed on the top of each of the second connecting strips 32. A limiting groove 10 is opened on the top of each of the force-bearing strips 33. The two limiting grooves 10 are engaged with the two third connecting strips 11 one by one. The collection box 35 collects the water generated during the drying of the leather and prevents the water from dripping onto the ground.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] The track 23 is installed in a suitable position, and the conveyor belt 19 is driven to move by an external device. When the leather needs to be dried, the friction wheel 36 is pushed to move upward, and one end of the leather is placed between the friction wheel 36 and the second limiting block 38. The friction wheel 36 is released, so that the friction wheel 36 moves downward under the action of gravity. The friction wheel 36 cooperates with the second limiting block 38 to fix the leather. The upward movement of the friction wheel 36 drives the fifth connecting rod 45 to move upward. The fifth connecting rod 45 drives the sixth connecting rod 40 to move upward through the fourth connecting rod 42. The sixth connecting rod 40 moves upward and disengages from the second connecting rod 30. The conveyor belt 19 drives the first connecting block 25 to move. The first connecting block 25 drives the first connecting rod 26 to move through the second connecting block 17. The first connecting rod 26 moves through the seventh connecting rod 29. The seventh connecting rod 29 drives the second connecting rod 30 to move. The second connecting rod 30 drives the clamping member to move. The clamping member drives the leather to move. When the leather enters the drying chamber 24, the electric heating wire 31 in the drying chamber 24 dries the leather.
