Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drying devices, in particular to a continuous drying device for lost foam coatings. Background Art

[0002] Lost foam casting is a new casting method that uses dry sand without adhesive and vacuum technology to cast foam plastic molds. It is a new casting method that combines foam models with similar size and shape to the casting into a model cluster, brushes refractory coating and dries it, then buries it in dry quartz sand and vibrates it to shape it. Pouring under negative pressure causes the model to vaporize, and liquid metal occupies the position of the model. After solidification and cooling, the casting is formed. After the lost foam model coating is completed, the coating needs to be placed in the sun to dry to a certain degree, and then placed in a drying oven for final drying to improve drying efficiency.

[0003] Authorized patent number CN218691225U discloses a device for rapid drying of lost foam coatings. The device mainly uses a second dryer to dry all lost foam patterns in a box as a whole. Then, an electric telescopic rod drives the first dryer to move up and down to evenly dry each lost foam pattern, avoiding uneven drying of the lost foam patterns and excessive humidity differences between each pattern, thereby improving the drying effect. At the same time, a humidity sensor detects the humidity of the lost foam patterns being dried in real time. When the humidity reaches the standard, power is supplied to an alarm, which sounds an alarm so that the staff can remove the lost foam patterns in time after hearing it, avoiding excessive drying of the lost foam patterns and affecting product quality. However, when the device is actually used, the following defects still exist:

[0004] The above patent mainly uses the up and down movement of the first dryer to evenly dry each lost foam pattern. However, when the lost foam patterns are dried continuously, in order to save working time, multiple patterns are generally placed on a placement rack for drying. However, when multiple patterns are dried simultaneously, a long waiting time is often required, and the placement rack can only be disassembled and assembled after the previous batch of patterns has been dried to achieve batch drying of the patterns. This makes the drying process of the lost foam coating relatively limited, the waiting time is too long, and it is difficult to perform continuous drying operations. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Example 2, as Figure 1-3 As shown, exhaust heads are provided at the bottom of the two groups of manifolds 408, and exhaust holes are provided on the side where the exhaust heads are close to each other, and the two groups of exhaust holes are arranged horizontally, and the exhaust hood 407 is arranged vertically. By utilizing two groups of horizontal hot gas supply and vertical hot gas coverage, and coordinating with the rotation of the centrifugal structure, heat is evenly covered on the surface of the lost foam pattern 12, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the structure for the lost foam coating pattern.

[0029] Working principle: It is used in the continuous drying device of lost foam coating;

[0030] When it is necessary to perform a continuous drying operation on the lost foam coating pattern, the pattern can be placed on the surface of the placement rack 11, and then the placement rack 11 is placed inside the drying chamber 5 and placed in the positioning structure of the positioning piece 10 on the top surface of one group of support platforms 9. At this time, the second driver 402 can be started to drive the third gear 403 to rotate and engage with the fourth gear 406 structure, so that the fourth gear 406 drives the air guide cylinder 405 and the two groups of manifolds 408 to rotate, and then the hot air blower 404 is started to supply hot gas, which is prompted to enter the air guide cylinder 405 and the two groups of manifolds 408 for diversion and guidance, thereby forming three groups of air guide surfaces, and cooperate with the centrifugal rotation of the air guide cylinder 405 and the two groups of manifolds 408 to allow the hot air to evenly cover the coating pattern on the surface of the placement rack 11, thereby performing a preheating and drying process on the pattern;

[0031] After the preheating treatment of the pattern, the transmission screw 7 is driven to rotate by starting a group of servo motors 6, so that the internal thread block 8 is horizontally displaced under the rotation of the transmission screw 7, so that the internal thread block 8 drives the placement rack 11 to move into the drying chamber 2. During this period, the hot gas inside the drying bin 5 can be introduced into the drying chamber 2 by starting the fan 17, and the second gear 305 is driven to rotate by the start of the first driver 302, so that the second gear 305 drives the first gear 304 to engage with the structure, so that the conduit 306 drives the elliptical wheel 3010 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the elliptical wheel 3010 can be intermittently squeezed and contacted with the two groups of moving blocks 307, so that the moving block 307 is horizontally displaced under the guidance of the guide rod 309, and elastically expands and contracts under the elastic squeezing of the spring 308, so that the two groups of moving blocks 307 that are moving back and forth drive the semi-arc heating plate 303 in the started state to perform secondary drying on the horizontally moving placement rack 11, so that The mixture of the semi-arc heating plate 303 and the hot gas allows the interior of the drying chamber 2 to maintain a high-quality drying space, further promoting the accuracy and efficiency of drying the paint pattern. At the same time, when the suction fan 15 is started, part of the heat can be actively absorbed through the exhaust port 14 and introduced into the duct 306 from the air duct 16 to flow back into the drying chamber 2, avoiding excessive heat loss after the lifting plate 13 is opened, thereby increasing the energy-saving efficiency of the device. When one group of placement racks 11 enters the drying chamber 2, the operator can splice another group of placement racks 11 with the support table 9 to prompt another group of batch-dried patterns to be preheated in the drying bin 5 to form a continuous drying structure. The alternating use of the two groups of mobile structures allows the batch-dried patterns to be dried more efficiently, eliminating excessive waiting time. After the paint pattern is dried, it can be moved out of the drying chamber 2 so that the operator can contact the splicing for transportation.
