Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air energy drying equipment, and in particular discloses an air energy clothing drying and dehumidifying equipment. Background Art

[0002] In some garment factories, the garments need to be cleaned before leaving the factory, and then quickly dried in a drying room to ensure the cleanliness of the garments before leaving the factory. Traditional drying rooms usually use electric heating wires and blowers to dry and dehumidify the garments. This type of drying room not only consumes a lot of electricity, but also the hot air temperature is difficult to control, which can easily lead to over-drying and deterioration of garment quality.

[0003] Compared with traditional drying rooms, air-energy drying equipment has the advantages of less energy consumption, less environmental pollution, and a wide range of applications. It has been widely used in the fields of food, medicinal materials, tea, etc., but there is less technical research on the field of clothing drying. The invention patent with application number 2015105640263 discloses an air-energy clothes dryer, including a box body, which is provided with an electric control box, an oven and a split air box. One side of the box body is provided with a first air inlet, a control switch, a control panel and a box door. The first air inlet is connected to the electric control box, which is arranged on one side of the split air box. The electric control box and the top of the split air box are connected by an air duct. The split air box is connected to one side and the top of the oven. A second air inlet is provided at the connection between the oven and the split air box. A connector is provided on the top of the oven. A hook is connected to the bottom of the connector. The connector is arranged on both sides of the second air inlet. The dryer disclosed in the patent is essentially still a drying room with electric heating wires. It not only has the problems of high energy consumption and difficult to control the hot air temperature, but also the hooks in the dryer are rotatably connected by connecting parts. Although the clothes can be rotated 360° when drying, this not only makes the clothes easy to fall off, but also the hot air blowing in from one direction will make the clothes be placed in a direction substantially parallel to the hot air flow direction, and a straight channel for the hot air to pass through is formed between two adjacent rows of clothes, resulting in a shorter contact time between the hot air and the clothes during the flow process, and the clothes cannot be dried and dehumidified quickly.

[0004] In addition, the humidity of washed clothes is high, and the water content in the returned hot air is high. When the traditional dehumidification fan is used to discharge the water vapor, a large amount of hot air will be taken away, increasing the energy consumption of the entire dryer. When the condenser is directly used to liquefy and dehumidify the returned hot air, the heat exchange between the hot air and the heat exchange medium will increase, which will also take away too much heat, resulting in increased energy consumption of the dryer. Therefore, in view of the technical problems existing in the existing dryers in the process of drying batches of clothes, this application proposes an air-energy clothing drying and dehumidification device that can effectively solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide an air-energy clothing drying and dehumidifying device, so as to achieve operation with lower energy consumption during the drying and dehumidifying process of batches of clothing and ensure the drying effect of the clothing.

[0007] As a further configuration of the above scheme, the driving mechanism includes a transmission bar box arranged at the side end of the rectangular frame, and each end of the rotating rod extending into the transmission bar box is provided with a third bevel gear. A driving shaft is rotatably arranged in the transmission bar box, and a fourth bevel gear meshing with each third bevel gear in the same direction is provided on the driving shaft. An adjusting motor connected to the driving shaft is provided on the outer end surface of the transmission bar box.

[0008] As a further configuration of the above scheme, a plurality of bearings are arranged on the lower surface of the rectangular frame in a rectangular array, the hanger assembly includes a connecting shaft connected to the bearings, the first bevel gear is arranged at the upper end of the connecting shaft, and the lower end of the connecting shaft is detachably connected to the hanger body.

[0009] As a further configuration of the above scheme, the lifting assembly includes a fork-type telescopic frame connected to the lower surface of the partition board and a telescopic pusher for driving the fork-type telescopic frame, and the upper surface of the rectangular frame is connected to the lower end of the fork-type telescopic frame.

[0010] As a further configuration of the above scheme, a hot air distribution box connected to the exhaust end of the air energy heat pump unit is arranged on the side wall of the drying area, and the hot air distribution box is provided with a plurality of vertical strip-shaped air outlets arranged below the clothing hanging mechanism.

[0011] As a further configuration of the above solution, the partition board is L-shaped, and a row of fans is provided on the vertical section of the partition board.

[0012] As a further configuration of the above solution, the diverter plate is tilted downward at one end toward the fan and horizontally at the other end, and the dehumidification device is disposed on the horizontal section of the diverter plate.

[0013] As a further configuration of the above scheme, the dehumidification device includes a water receiving trough, a row of condensation dehumidifiers is arranged above the water receiving trough, and the inlet and outlet ends of the row of condensation dehumidifiers are extended out of the drying box and are connected to a liquid inlet pipe and a liquid outlet pipe, and the lower end of the water receiving trough is connected to a drain pipe extending out of the drying box.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The air-energy clothing drying and dehumidifying equipment disclosed in the present invention is a modified design based on the existing air-energy drying room. On the one hand, through the design of the clothing hanging mechanism, after the clothing is hung on the hanger assembly, the angle of the installation design of multiple rows of clothing can be adjusted under the action of the driving mechanism, and the inclination angles between two adjacent rows of clothing are opposite, so that multiple rows of hot air flow channels in a folded line or wavy shape are formed between the clothing hanging below, and then the hot air generated by the air-energy heat pump unit is blown to the hot air flow channel, which can not only increase the time for the hot air to flow through the clothing, but also increase the area on one side of the clothing that the hot air acts on. After a period of drying operation, the direction of the hot air flow channel can be quickly switched to act on the other side of the clothing, so that the clothing can be quickly dried and dehumidified.

[0015] In addition, in the process of reflux, when the hot and humid air flows along the return air dehumidification area, the principle of water vapor flowing upward combined with the design of the diverter plate can make the water vapor go through the upper channel as much as possible, while the hot air goes through the lower channel, so that the two are separated as much as possible. The water vapor is then liquefied and removed by the dehumidification device, which not only realizes the dehumidification function, but also avoids the hot air from interacting with the dehumidification device at the same time, causing the heat to be dissipated through heat exchange, effectively reducing the heat loss in the hot air and reducing the energy consumption of the entire drying and dehumidification equipment.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0019] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. Figures 1 to 7 , and describes the application in detail with reference to embodiments. Example 1

[0020] Embodiment 1 discloses an air-energy clothing drying and dehumidifying device, Figure 1 The main body of the equipment includes a drying box 1 and an air energy heat pump unit 2. The air energy heat pump unit 2 is arranged on the right side of the drying box 1, and the return air end of the air energy heat pump unit 2 is connected to the upper end of the side of the drying box 1 through the return air pipe 201, and the exhaust air end of the air energy heat pump unit 2 is connected to the lower end of the side of the drying box 1 through the exhaust air pipe 202.

[0021] Reference Figure 2 and attached Figure 3The front side of the drying box 1 is rotatably provided with a box door 101, and a control panel 102 is provided on the drying box 1 beside the box door 101. An L-shaped partition board 103 is provided at the upper end of the interior of the drying box 1, and the right end of the partition board 103 is connected to the right side wall of the drying box 1, so as to divide the inner cavity of the box door 101 into a drying area 104 and a return air dehumidification area 105, and the return air duct 201 is connected to the return air dehumidification area 105, and the exhaust air duct 202 is connected to the drying area 104. In addition, in order to ensure that the hot air entering the drying area 104 can be evenly blown to the hanging clothes, a hot air distribution box 106 is also provided on the right side wall of the drying box 1, and a plurality of vertical strip-shaped air outlets 1061 are opened in a rectangular array on the hot air distribution box 106.

[0022] A lifting assembly 3 is provided on the lower surface of the partition board 103, and a clothing hanging mechanism 4 is connected to the lower end of the lifting assembly 3. Specifically, the lifting assembly 3 includes a fork-type telescopic frame 301 movably connected to the lower surface of the partition board 103 and a telescopic pusher 302 fixed to the lower surface of the partition board 103, and then the movable end of the telescopic pusher 302 is connected to a slider at one end of the fork-type telescopic frame 301, and a slide rail 303 acting with the slider is provided on the lower surface of the partition board 103, and by controlling the extension or shortening of the telescopic pusher 302, one end of the fork-type telescopic frame 301 can be pushed to move along the slide rail 303, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the lower end of the fork-type telescopic frame 301, and thereby achieving the control of the lifting and lowering of the clothing hanging mechanism 4.

[0023] Reference Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 4 , Attachment Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 The clothing hanging mechanism 4 includes a rectangular frame 401 connected to the lower end of the fork telescopic frame 301, and a plurality of rows of bearings are arranged in a rectangular array on the lower surface of the rectangular frame 401, and then a hanger assembly 402 for auxiliary hanging is rotatably connected in each bearing. The hanger assembly 402 includes a connecting shaft 4021 rotatably connected to the bearing, and a hanger body 4022 is connected to the lower end of the vertical shaft 4021. In order to facilitate the replacement of different types of hanger bodies 4022, the hanger body 4022 is plugged into the lower end of the vertical shaft 4021 and fixed by a horizontal latch 4023. Finally, a first bevel gear 4024 is arranged at the upper end of the vertical shaft 4021 extending into the interior of the rectangular frame 401.

[0024] A plurality of rotating rods 403 are rotatably arranged in the rectangular frame 401, and each rotating rod 403 is located directly above a row of hanger assemblies 402, and then a second bevel gear 404 meshing with each first bevel gear 4024 is arranged on the rotating rod 403, and the meshing directions of the first bevel gear 4024 and the first bevel gear 4024 on two adjacent rotating rods 403 are arranged opposite to each other, so that when two adjacent rotating rods 403 rotate synchronously in the same direction, the two rows of hanger bodies 4022 can rotate in different directions respectively. A transmission bar box 405 is arranged at the side end of the rectangular frame 401, and then a third bevel gear 406 is arranged at the end of each rotating rod 403 extending into the transmission bar box 405, and then a driving shaft 407 is rotatably arranged in the rectangular frame 401, and a fourth bevel gear 408 meshing with each third bevel gear 406 in the same direction is arranged on the driving shaft 407, and finally an adjusting motor 409 fixed on the outer end surface of the transmission bar box 405 is connected to the end of the driving shaft 407.

[0025] Finally, a row of fans 5 are arranged on the vertical section of the partition plate 103, and then a forced dehumidification valve pipe (not shown) is arranged on the upper surface of the drying box 1, and a dehumidification fan is arranged in the forced dehumidification valve pipe.

[0026] Before the operation of the air-energy clothing drying and dehumidifying equipment disclosed in the present embodiment 1, the operator opens the box door 101, and then extends the lifting assembly 3 through the control panel 102 to lower the clothing hanging mechanism 4 to a height convenient for hanging, and then hangs the washed clothes on each hanger body 4022 one by one. After all the clothes are hung, the adjusting motor 409 is started to rotate it by a certain angle, and then the meshing transmission of the fourth bevel gear 408 and the third bevel gear 406 makes all the rotating rods 403 rotate synchronously in the same direction, and then the meshing action of the second bevel gear 404 on the rotating rod 403 and the first bevel gear 4024 on the hanger assembly 402 makes the hanging clothes tilted by a certain angle to the direction of hot air flow, and the tilting directions of the clothes in the two adjacent rows are opposite, so that the original direction of hot air flow is adjusted from a straight line to a broken line or a wave shape (refer to the attached Figure 6 ), thereby increasing the time that the hot air flows under the clothing hanging mechanism 4, thereby increasing the drying speed of the clothing.

[0027] Then close the door 101 and control the air energy heat pump unit 2 to operate through the control panel 102. The hot air generated by the air energy heat pump unit 2 is divided into multiple vertical hot air flows to the flow channel formed between the hanging clothes through the hot air distribution box 106. After drying for a period of time, the control panel 102 is used to control the motor to rotate in the opposite direction by a certain angle, so that the inclination angles of the two adjacent rows of hanging clothes are adjusted to the opposite side, so that the other side of the clothes can be fully dried in the process of hot air flowing through.

[0028] The hot and humid air (i.e., a mixture of water vapor and hot air) generated during the drying process is blown by the fan 5 to the return air dehumidification zone 105, and flows in the reverse direction along the return air dehumidification zone 105. Since the water vapor will flow upward, it will be forcibly discharged by the forced dehumidification valve pipe to achieve the dehumidification effect, and part of the hot air will return to the air energy heat pump unit 2 for secondary heating and then sent to the drying zone 104 for recycling. Example 2

[0029] Example 2 discloses an air-source clothing drying and dehumidification device that is improved and designed based on the technical solution in Example 1. The improved design is mainly aimed at the problem that the use of a forced dehumidification valve pipe will discharge part of the hot air during the operation of the equipment, resulting in higher energy consumption of the entire equipment.

[0030] The similarities between Example 2 and Example 1 are not described again. Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 3 and attached Figure 7 In the present embodiment 2, the design of forced dehumidification valve pipe is abandoned, and a diverter plate 107 is arranged in the return air dehumidification zone 105. The diverter plate 107 is arranged to be tilted downward toward one end of the fan 5, and the rest is arranged horizontally. Then, a dehumidification device 6 is arranged between the diverter plate 107 in the horizontal section and the top of the drying box 1.

[0031] The dehumidification device 6 includes a water receiving trough 601 disposed on the upper surface of the diverter plate 107, and a drain pipe 602 extending out of the drying box 1 is connected to the lower surface of the water receiving trough 601. A row of condensation dehumidifiers 603 is disposed on the top wall of the drying box 1 just above the water receiving trough 601. The condensation dehumidifiers 603 include a rectangular frame, in which condensation fins are arranged in a row, and then a medium pipe with both ends extending out of the side of the drying box 1 is arranged in the rectangular frame, and then a liquid inlet pipe 604 and a liquid outlet pipe 605 are respectively connected to the inlet and outlet ends of the medium pipes in a row of condensation dehumidifiers 603. Low-temperature cooling water can be simultaneously introduced into the medium pipe through the liquid inlet pipe 604 and the liquid outlet pipe 605, so that the low-temperature cooling water can circulate, thereby liquefying and condensing the humid hot air flowing through, thereby removing water vapor, and the liquefied condensed water falls into the water receiving trough 601, and finally discharged from the drying box 1 through the drain pipe 602.

[0032] The design of the diverter plate 107 in the present embodiment 2 can make it possible, during the hot and humid air reflux process, according to the principle that water vapor flows upward and is separated from the hot air, so that most of the water vapor will flow along the channel above the diverter plate 107, while most of the hot air will flow along the channel below the diverter plate 107, thereby realizing the stratified flow of water vapor and hot air. Then, the water vapor flowing above can be cooled and liquefied in the process of passing through a row of condensation dehumidifiers 603, and drip into the water receiving tank 601 and be discharged from the drain pipe 602. At this time, only a small amount of hot air flows upward together with the water vapor, thereby preventing too much hot air from being dissipated through heat exchange, further reducing the energy consumption of the entire equipment, and at the same time ensuring the internal circulation of gas inside the entire drying box, ensuring the internal cleanliness.

[0033] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
