[0038] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in the present description and the appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0039] The existing water tank drying method requires the water tank to be manually carried to the drying furnace, which increases the labor intensity of workers; the manual carrying process is time-consuming and cannot match the high-speed operation rhythm of the assembly line 100; the lack of automated control mechanism makes it difficult to achieve precise time and temperature management; the traditional drying method may affect the drying effect, thereby affecting product 90 quality and production efficiency.

[0040] To this end, an embodiment of the present invention provides a water tank drying device to achieve automated drying, significantly reduce the workload of operators, and greatly improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.

[0041] The water tank drying equipment of the embodiment of the present invention greatly improves production efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of operators through multiple automated components. First, the equipment is provided with an automatic door assembly 20, which uses a power source to drive the door body 21 to open and close automatically, avoiding manual intervention and saving time. Secondly, the flow-equalizing structure ensures uniform distribution of hot air through the flow-equalizing tube 70 and the flow-equalizing hole design, effectively improving the drying effect and reducing energy consumption. The heating component 40 works in conjunction with the flow-equalizing structure to make the drying process more efficient and stable. In addition, the fan assembly 80 cooperates with the centrifugal fan blades 82 to further enhance the air circulation, accelerate the evaporation of water, and increase the drying speed. The application of the automated control system allows the entire process to be intelligently adjusted to reduce human errors. Through the design of the assembly line 100, the equipment can be seamlessly connected with other production links to achieve automated production. Ultimately, these technologies not only reduce the manual burden, but also greatly improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.

[0042] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0043] See also Figures 1 to 7 A water tank drying device includes: a drying box, a heating component 40 and a flow-balanced structure. A drying chamber is provided in the drying box. The heating component 40 and the flow-balanced structure are respectively installed in the drying chamber. The drying box is placed on an assembly line 100.

[0044] In this embodiment, the water tank first enters the drying box through the assembly line 100 and is placed in a predetermined position. The heating component 40 in the drying box starts to work, providing heat to help evaporate the moisture on the surface of the water tank. The flow equalizing tube 70 and the flow equalizing hole in the flow equalizing structure ensure that the hot air is evenly distributed in the drying chamber, avoiding local overheating or uneven drying, and improving the drying effect. The fan assembly 80 is started, and the centrifugal fan blades 82 are used to enhance air circulation, accelerate the evaporation of moisture, and quickly dry the surface of the water tank. When the drying is completed, the automatic door assembly 20 drives the door body 21 to open automatically through the power source, and the water tank is sent out to enter the next production process.

[0045] Through automated control and assembly line 100 design, the entire drying process does not require human intervention, and each water tank can be dried quickly, significantly improving production efficiency. The opening and closing of the automatic door and the control of the drying process are fully automated, which reduces the workload of operators and avoids repetitive work. The cooperation of the flow-equalizing structure and the fan assembly 80 can make the heat more evenly distributed on the surface of the water tank, avoid local overheating and energy waste, and improve heating efficiency. The use of the flow-equalizing structure and the fan enables the hot air to circulate effectively in the drying chamber, promotes the uniform evaporation of water, and achieves a better drying effect. By precisely controlling the temperature and humidity, the surface damage of the water tank caused by over-drying or uneven drying is avoided, thereby improving the overall quality of the product 90. The high degree of automation reduces labor costs, and reduces energy consumption through an efficient drying process, which ultimately helps to reduce overall production costs. The automated control system reduces human operating errors, ensures the stable operation of the entire equipment, reduces the probability of failure, and ensures the continuity of production.

[0046] In summary, the design of this water tank drying equipment can effectively improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and improve product quality and system stability through automated control and efficient heat energy distribution.

[0047] In this embodiment, there are two groups of heating components 40, one group is set on the left wall of the drying chamber, and one group is set on the right wall. There are also two groups of flow balancing components, one group on the left and one group on the right. A space is formed between the two flow balancing components for the product 90 to be placed and pass through.

[0048] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 7 The above-mentioned drying box includes a box support 10, an automatic door assembly 20 and a plurality of heat insulation boards 30. The upper end surface, left side surface and right side surface of the box support 10 are respectively covered with the heat insulation boards 30, and the front end surface and rear end surface of the box support 10 are respectively connected to the automatic door assembly 20.

[0049] Specifically, the box support 10 is used as the basic structure of the drying box to support the entire device. The upper end surface, left side surface and right side surface of the box support 10 are respectively covered with heat insulation boards 30, which are used to reduce heat loss and improve drying efficiency. The front end surface and the rear end surface of the box support 10 are respectively connected to automatic door assemblies 20, which can realize the opening and closing operation of the drying box and facilitate the entry and exit of materials.

[0050] By installing the heat insulation board 30 on the upper end surface, the left side surface and the right side surface of the box support 10, the heat loss can be significantly reduced and the temperature inside the drying box can be kept stable. This not only improves the drying efficiency, but also reduces energy consumption and saves operating costs. The heat insulation board 30 is usually made of high-performance heat insulation materials, such as polyurethane foam or rock wool, which have excellent heat insulation properties and further enhance the heat preservation effect of the drying box.

[0051] The design of the automatic door assembly 20 on the front and rear faces makes the entry and exit of materials more convenient and quick. The automatic door can be opened and closed by the control system, which reduces the time and labor intensity of manual operation and improves production efficiency. The automatic door assembly 20 can also be equipped with a safety sensor to ensure that no accidental injuries occur during the door opening process, thereby improving the safety of the equipment.

[0052] The modular design of the box support 10 and the automatic door assembly 20 allows the drying box to be flexibly configured according to different application scenarios. For example, the thickness of the insulation board 30 and the size of the automatic door can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the drying material. This modular design is also convenient for future expansion and upgrading. Users can add more functional modules according to their needs, such as temperature control system, humidity control system, etc.

[0053] The design of the automatic door assembly 20 makes it easier to clean the inside of the box, reducing the accumulation of dirt and residues and extending the service life of the equipment. The modular design also makes troubleshooting and maintenance more convenient, allowing for quick replacement of damaged parts and reducing downtime.

[0054] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 A connecting plate 50 and two heat insulation plates 30 are connected to the front end surface of the box bracket 10. The upper ends of the two heat insulation plates 30 are connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 50. The automatic door assembly 20 is connected to the connecting plate 50, and the automatic door assembly 20 is located between the two heat insulation plates 30.

[0055] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The side of the connecting plate 50 away from the box support 10 is connected to a horizontal plate 60 , and the side of the horizontal plate 60 away from the connecting plate 50 is connected to a side plate 61 parallel to the connecting plate 50 , and the automatic door assembly 20 is connected to the side plate 61 .

[0056] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4The above-mentioned automatic door assembly 20 includes a door body 21, a first power source 22, a fixed block 23, and a moving rod 24. The first power source 22 is connected to the moving rod 24. The first power source 22 is connected to the connecting plate 50 through the fixed block 23. The upper end of the door body 21 is connected to a mounting block 26, and the mounting block 26 is connected to the first power source 22.

[0057] In this embodiment, two heat insulation boards 30 are located below the connecting plate 50, which effectively blocks the heat loss of the front end surface and improves the thermal insulation effect of the box. The heat insulation board 30 is usually made of high-performance thermal insulation materials, such as polyurethane foam or rock wool, which have excellent thermal insulation properties and further enhance the thermal insulation effect of the box.

[0058] The connecting plate 50 not only connects the two heat insulation plates 30, but also fixes the automatic door assembly 20, ensuring the stability and reliability of the front face structure. The connection between the horizontal plate 60 and the side plate 61 further enhances the structural strength of the front face, making the entire front face more solid, and improving the durability and vibration resistance of the equipment.

[0059] The automatic door assembly 20 is located between two heat insulation boards 30. This layout makes the door opening and closing operation smoother and avoids interference with other components. The first power source 22 is connected to the connecting plate 50 through the fixing block 23, ensuring the stability and reliability of power transmission and improving the opening and closing speed and accuracy of the door body 21.

[0060] The automatic door assembly 20 can be equipped with a safety sensor to ensure that no accidental injury occurs during the door opening process, thereby improving the safety of the equipment.

[0061] The reasonable layout of various components reduces potential risks during operation and ensures the safety of users during use.

[0062] The combined design of the two heat insulation plates 30, the connecting plate 50, the horizontal plate 60 and the side plate 61 makes the front face look neat and orderly, improving the overall aesthetics of the device. The joints between the components can be carefully processed to avoid sharp angles and protruding parts, which is both beautiful and safe.

[0063] This layout design makes it easier to clean the front face, reducing the accumulation of dirt and residues and extending the service life of the equipment. The clear layout of the various components also makes troubleshooting and maintenance easier, allowing for quick location and replacement of damaged parts, reducing downtime.

[0064] The first power source 22 drives the door body 21 to open and close through the moving rod 24, realizing automated operation and improving work efficiency. The mounting block 26 at the upper end of the door body 21 is connected to the first power source 22, ensuring a reliable connection between the door body 21 and the power source, and improving the stability of automated operation.

[0065] In summary, the front face structure of the box support 10 in this embodiment not only improves the thermal insulation performance and structural stability of the equipment through reasonable connection and layout design, but also enhances the convenience and safety of operation, while improving the aesthetics and maintenance convenience of the equipment. This design makes the equipment more efficient, reliable and user-friendly.

[0066] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 and Fig.11 The automatic door assembly 20 further comprises a roller assembly 25 , which is mounted on a side of the door body 21 close to the box support 10 , and the roller assembly 25 abuts against the side plate 61 , and the roller assembly 25 rolls on the side plate 61 .

[0067] In this embodiment, the roller assembly 25 is installed on the side of the door body 21 close to the box support 10, and abuts against the side plate 61, ensuring that the door body 21 can roll smoothly along the side plate 61 during opening and closing, reducing friction resistance. The design of the roller assembly 25 significantly reduces the direct contact between the door body 21 and the side plate 61, reduces wear, and prolongs the service life of the door body 21 and the side plate 61.

[0068] The rolling mechanism of the roller assembly 25 enables the door body 21 to quickly respond to the drive of the first power source 22, speeding up the opening and closing speed of the door body 21 and improving work efficiency. The rolling motion of the roller assembly 25 is smoother than the sliding motion, reducing the jamming phenomenon during the opening and closing process of the door body 21 and improving the user experience.

[0069] The rolling motion of the roller assembly 25 generates less noise than the sliding motion, making the door body 21 quieter during opening and closing, providing a more comfortable use environment. The roller assembly 25 can be made of low-noise materials, such as rubber or nylon, to further reduce operating noise.

[0070] The abutment design of the roller assembly 25 and the side plate 61 ensures the precise guidance of the door body 21 during the opening and closing process, avoids the deviation or shaking of the door body 21, and improves the stability of the door body 21. The distribution of the roller assembly 25 makes the door body 21 more evenly stressed during the opening and closing process, reduces the situation of excessive local stress, and further enhances the stability of the door body 21.

[0071] The roller assembly 25 is usually designed as a detachable structure, which is convenient for regular inspection and replacement, and simplifies maintenance work. Since the roller assembly 25 significantly reduces the wear between the door body 21 and the side plate 61, the maintenance frequency can be appropriately reduced, saving maintenance costs.

[0072] The roller assembly 25 can be designed to be installed in a hidden manner, making the surface of the door body 21 more concise and improving the overall aesthetics. The fine design of the roller assembly 25 and the selection of the installation position make the door body 21 more elegant during the opening and closing process, improving the user's visual experience.

[0073] In summary, by adding the roller assembly 25 to the automatic door assembly 20, not only the moving smoothness and opening and closing speed of the door body 21 are significantly improved, but also the noise is reduced, the stability is enhanced, the maintenance work is simplified, and the aesthetics of the equipment is improved. This design makes the automatic door assembly 20 more efficient, reliable and user-friendly.

[0074] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 The above-mentioned flow balancing structure includes a plurality of flow balancing tubes 70 , on which a plurality of flow balancing holes are provided, and the heating component 40 is located between the flow balancing component and the box support 10 .

[0075] This design improves drying results by evenly distributing hot air, making heat distribution more even during the drying process.

[0076] The design of the flow balancing tube 70 and the flow balancing hole can effectively disperse the hot air and avoid the local temperature being too high or too low, thereby achieving uniform heating. This helps prevent the water tank surface from being overheated or not being fully dried, and improves the drying quality.

[0077] The even distribution of hot air can evaporate moisture more efficiently, speed up drying, reduce waiting time and improve production efficiency.

[0078] By evenly distributing hot air, heat waste is avoided, the energy efficiency of the heating system is improved, and energy consumption is reduced.

[0079] Even heat distribution prevents damage to the tank surface caused by excessive heat concentration, helping to maintain the overall quality and appearance of the product.

[0080] The heating component 40 is located between the current balancing structure and the box support 10, which helps to protect the heating component 40 from direct thermal stress, extend the service life of the equipment, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0081] This design optimizes heat transfer and air flow, improving the overall performance of the drying process, bringing multiple benefits of energy saving, improved efficiency and product quality.

[0082] In addition, the flow balancing tube 70 is a steel tube, which not only serves as a component of the air blowing system, but also plays a role in protecting other key components.

[0083] By connecting to an external air source, the design of the holes drilled on the flow equalizing tube 70 allows air to be blown out evenly from the small holes, helping the air to be evenly distributed on the surface of the water tank. In this way, not only can the water droplets on the surface of the water tank be effectively blown off and the accumulation of water droplets be reduced, but also the drying efficiency of the surface of the water tank can be improved. The blown air helps to accelerate the evaporation of water, so that the water droplets on the surface of the water tank are quickly taken away, thereby promoting the rapid drying of the water tank and improving the overall drying effect.

[0084] The small holes on the flow equalizing tube 70 help to make the air flow more even, avoid the airflow being concentrated in a certain position, ensure that the air can evenly cover the surface of the water tank, prevent some areas from being too dry while other areas are wet, and achieve a better drying effect.

[0085] When the water tank tips over, the flow equalizer 70 plays a protective role. Since it is located at the upper part of the equipment, once the water tank tilts, the water will first fall on the flow equalizer 70, and will not directly press on the electric heating components located below. This design can effectively prevent damage to the electric heating components when the water tank tilts, ensuring the safety and long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0086] Through this design, the current equalizing tube 70 effectively plays a buffering and protective role, thereby reducing the frequency of equipment failures and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0087] The hole design of the flow equalizing tube 70 improves the uniform flow of air, helps to accelerate the removal of water droplets on the surface of the water tank, and improves the drying efficiency; its protective design effectively reduces the damage to the electric heating components caused by the tipping of the water tank, ensuring that the equipment is more durable and safe; by providing uniform air flow and accelerating the blowing off of water droplets, the overall working efficiency and drying effect of the equipment are improved; the protective function can effectively avoid damage to internal components caused by accidental water flow or tilting, thereby extending the service life of the entire system.

[0088] This design not only optimizes the uniformity of air flow, but also effectively increases the safety and stability of the system, improving the overall drying performance and equipment life.

[0089] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 7 The above-mentioned water tank drying device also includes a fan assembly 80, and the fan assembly 80 is connected to the heat insulation board 30 on the upper end surface of the box support 10.

[0090] In one embodiment, see Figure 7 The fan assembly 80 includes a second power source 81 and a centrifugal fan blade 82 . The second power source 81 is connected to the heat insulation board 30 on the upper end surface of the box support 10 , and the centrifugal fan blade 82 is connected to the second power source 81 .

[0091] In this embodiment, the fan assembly 80 drives the centrifugal fan blades 82 to rotate through the second power source 81 to generate a strong airflow. This airflow circulates in the cavity, enhances air flow, helps to improve air exchange efficiency, and thus accelerates the evaporation and drying process on the surface of the water tank.

[0092] The fan assembly 80 promotes air flow and enhances the contact between hot air and the surface of the water tank, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and greatly accelerating the drying speed of the water tank. The airflow generated by the fan assembly 80 can effectively promote the circulation of air in the cavity, reduce air retention and uneven distribution, and further improve the uniformity of drying. By improving air flow and heat transfer efficiency, the fan assembly 80 can effectively reduce the heating time, thereby saving energy consumption and improving the working efficiency of the entire drying system.

[0093] The design of the heat shield 30 effectively protects the power source of the fan assembly 80 from being damaged by the high temperature environment, ensures the long-term stable operation of the equipment, reduces equipment failure or wear caused by high temperature, and thus prolongs the service life.

[0094] The fan assembly 80 enhances air flow, reduces dependence on a single heating source, relieves the burden on the heating system, and improves the reliability and stability of the overall system.

[0095] In summary, the design of the fan assembly 80 accelerates the drying process, saves energy, and extends the life of the equipment by enhancing airflow, improving heat exchange efficiency, and providing effective thermal insulation protection, thereby bringing higher work efficiency and economic benefits.

[0096] The water tank drying equipment of this embodiment is a water tank drying equipment integrated on the assembly line 100, adopts a box-type structure, uses a cylinder to control the movement of the crossbeam, realizes the opening and closing of the front and rear doors of the drying room, and automatically sends the water tank to be dried into the drying room for drying. After the drying is completed, the equipment automatically opens the door, and the water tank enters the next process along with the assembly line 100.

[0097] The box support 10 is a basic frame for supporting and fixing all components. The heat insulation board 30 is used to isolate heat and maintain the temperature of the drying environment. The fan assembly 80 promotes air flow through the motor and the centrifugal fan blades 82 to help evenly heat and dry the water tank. The first power source 22, the fixed block 23, and the moving rod 24 are combined to control the opening and closing of the door so that the water tank can smoothly enter and exit the drying room. The door body 21 can seal the drying room to prevent heat loss. The heating assembly 40 uses electric heating pipes to heat the air and provide efficient heat. The small holes on the flow equalizing tube 70 evenly distribute the air, further accelerating the drying process.

[0098] When the assembly line 100 delivers the water tank to be dried to the drying equipment, the first power source 22 starts and pushes the door body 21 to open. After the water tank enters the drying room, the door automatically closes to form a sealed drying space. The heating component 40 heats the air, and the second power source 81 stirs the air through the centrifugal fan blades 82 to make the air flow in the drying room, ensuring that the water on the surface of the water tank evaporates quickly. At the same time, the flow equalizing pipe 70 blows air into the air to further help remove water droplets on the surface of the water tank and maintain air circulation to achieve a uniform drying effect. When the water tank is dried, the rear door is opened by the first power source 22, and the water tank is automatically sent out to continue to the next process.

[0099] During the operation of the equipment, if an abnormality or emergency occurs, the drying box can be quickly opened manually through the door handle of the door body 21 to ensure the safety and flexibility of the operation.

[0100] In this embodiment, the heating assembly 40 includes an electric heating pipe, the first power source 22 is a cylinder, and the second power source 81 is a motor.

[0101] The opening and closing of the door is controlled by the cylinder and the motor, which reduces manual intervention and improves the operating efficiency of the assembly line 100. The electric heating pipe and the centrifugal fan blade 82 are combined to provide uniform and comprehensive heat to ensure efficient drying of the water tank. The protective design of the flow equalizing pipe 70 avoids equipment damage, and the door components can be quickly opened manually in an emergency to ensure safe operation.

[0102] The water tank drying equipment of the present invention makes full use of modern automation technology to achieve an efficient and safe drying process, and is suitable for the water tank drying needs in the production of assembly line 100.

[0103] The above-mentioned water tank drying equipment integrates the drying box on the assembly line 100 by setting up a drying box, a heating component 40 and a flow equalizing structure, thereby realizing automated operation and reducing manual intervention. The cooperation of the heating component 40 and the flow equalizing structure ensures uniform evaporation of moisture on the surface of the water tank, thereby accelerating the drying process. The equipment ensures efficient drying of the water tank and synchronization with the assembly line 100 through automatic door opening and closing, and the process of sending in and out, which not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces dependence on operators, significantly reducing labor costs and error risks.

[0104] In one embodiment, a working method performed by the above-mentioned water tank drying device is also provided, including:

[0105] The product 90 on the assembly line 100 is moved to the location of the drying box under the drive of the assembly line 100 and placed in the drying chamber;
