Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of office furniture production and processing, in particular to a sponge drying device for an office chair. Background Art
[0002] In office chair manufacturing, sponge serves as a core cushioning and support material, and its drying process directly impacts the product's comfort, durability, and lifespan. The unique porous structure of sponge easily retains a large amount of moisture after production. Inadequate drying not only breeds mold and odor, but also reduces the sponge's elasticity and mechanical properties, seriously impacting the user experience and safety of the office chair. Therefore, high-performance drying equipment is crucial to ensuring high-quality office chair production.
[0003] Currently, most common office chair sponge drying devices on the market use hot air drying. As a porous polymer material, sponges contain numerous closed and semi-closed pores, typically holding 30% to 60% moisture. This moisture exists primarily in three forms: adsorbed water, capillary water, and retained water. Capillary water and retained water are retained within the sponge by surface tension and the constraints of the pore structure, making them difficult to drain naturally. When the moisture content is too high, the large amount of residual water causes excessive heat loss in the dryer. The energy absorbed by the water molecules during high-frequency oscillations is preferentially used to heat themselves and vaporize, significantly reducing the effective energy transferred to the sponge matrix. Experimental data shows that when the sponge moisture content exceeds 40%, the dryer's ineffective energy loss can reach 35% to 45%, significantly increasing the device's energy consumption. Furthermore, the "water clusters" formed within the sponge hinder uniform heat penetration, leading to severe temperature gradients during the drying process. The moisture on the sponge surface evaporates rapidly due to direct contact with heat, resulting in local overheating (the surface temperature can reach above 80°C), and the internal moisture cannot be discharged in time, forming a "cold core" area, causing the drying uniformity deviation to exceed 20%, seriously affecting the physical properties and dimensional stability of the sponge.
[0004] Furthermore, sponges with excessive moisture content can generate internal steam pressure during the drying process due to evaporation, leading to bulging, deformation, and even cracking. This structural damage not only reduces product yield but also impairs the sponge's mechanical properties, reducing compression rebound by 15% to 25%, impacting the comfort and lifespan of office chairs. Furthermore, high moisture content prolongs the drying cycle, reducing the equipment's productivity per unit time by approximately 30% to 40%, making it unable to meet the efficiency requirements of industrial production.
[0005] Existing equipment lacks a mechanism to adapt to the thickness of sponges when circulating hot air. For thick sponges, conventional hot air can only form convection on the surface, making it difficult to penetrate the dense internal structure. This results in excessively high temperatures on the sponge's surface while the center remains damp, creating an undesirable "dry outside, wet inside" phenomenon that seriously affects the sponge's physical properties and uniformity. For thin sponges, the constant hot air flow and velocity can easily cause surface overheating and carbonization. Field measurements have shown that when using existing equipment to dry sponges less than 5cm thick, the surface carbonization rate can reach as high as 25%, severely damaging the sponge's appearance and performance.
[0006] Furthermore, the flapping mechanism lacks synergistic regulation with the extrusion and hot air systems. Patting is a key step in restoring the sponge's fluffy structure and accelerating heat penetration, but existing equipment often uses a fixed frequency and force. This prevents thick sponges from effectively restoring their pore structure through flapping, hindering hot air penetration and resulting in low drying efficiency. Thin sponges can also tear and break due to excessive flapping.
[0007] Therefore, the present invention proposes an office chair sponge drying device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an office chair sponge drying device, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. By setting up the extrusion arc, the sponge material transported on the conveyor belt is subjected to a preliminary moisture extrusion operation, which can effectively discharge the free water and part of the capillary water inside the sponge, reduce the moisture content, and significantly reduce the heat required for the subsequent drying process. This improves the equipment's production capacity per unit time and reduces energy consumption in the drying stage. The extrusion operation can eliminate the density difference and uneven distribution of voids inside the sponge caused by the molding process, making the material structure denser and more uniform. It also helps the drying medium in the drying equipment to penetrate more evenly into the sponge, avoiding the phenomenon of dry outside and wet inside caused by uneven moisture distribution, ensuring drying uniformity, ensuring the consistency of the sponge's physical properties, and avoiding defects such as bulging, deformation, and cracking caused by rapid vaporization of moisture during the drying process.
[0019] 2. Through the setting of the elastic floating roller extrusion mechanism, under the cooperation of the adjusting shaft and the oblique block on the inner wall of the extrusion arc, the diameter of the extrusion arc is adjusted according to the thickness of the sponge material, avoiding the fixed extrusion diameter, which leads to insufficient extrusion of thick sponges, residual large amounts of water, and increased burden of subsequent drying. Thin sponges may be damaged due to excessive extrusion. Under the setting of the adjusting shaft, appropriate extrusion pressure is applied to sponges of different thicknesses to control the moisture content after extrusion and prevent structural damage caused by improper extrusion force. Reasonable extrusion force is applied to make the thick sponge fully dehydrated while maintaining the internal pore structure intact, and the surface of the thin sponge is flat and undamaged, which helps the subsequent drying medium to penetrate and act on the sponge more evenly, thereby improving the sponge drying effect and product qualification rate.
[0020] 3. Through the setting of the dual-domain linkage control mechanism, the angle of the guide plate is dynamically adjusted according to the difference in sponge thickness to adjust the direction of hot air flow. For thick sponges, the inclination angle of the guide plate is increased to allow the hot air to vertically penetrate the interior of the sponge, accelerate the vaporization of internal moisture, and avoid the problem of overheating of the surface and insufficient internal drying. For thin sponges, the angle of the guide plate is reduced to disperse the hot air so that the hot air is spread horizontally to cover the surface, quickly evaporate the surface moisture, and prevent carbonization or embrittlement caused by vertical heat concentration. The dynamic adjustment of the guide plate can coordinate the contact area and angle of the hot air and the sponge, shortening the average drying time of sponges of different thicknesses and avoiding ineffective heat loss and excessive concentration.
[0021] 4. Through the setting of the racket, when adjusting the deflection angle of the guide plate to adjust the direction of hot air flow, the racket amplitude is adjusted synchronously according to the deflection of the guide plate. The adjustable beating amplitude can adjust the force intensity according to the thickness of the sponge. For thick sponges, high-frequency and small-amplitude beating is adopted to avoid compaction of the internal structure due to strong beating, and at the same time continuously loosen the fibers to increase the penetration depth of hot air and restore the fluffiness; for thin sponges, low-frequency and large-amplitude beating is adopted to prevent high-frequency vibration from causing fiber breakage and improve the air permeability of the internal pores of the sponge. The dynamic adjustment of the racket amplitude can effectively correct the local accumulation or depression of the sponge due to uneven thickness, and cooperate with the material structure of the racket. The air pressure buffer mechanism of the internal air bag is further used to avoid damage such as root tearing to the sponge. Flexible contact force replaces the rigid impact when beating thick sponges, and elastic buffering is used to disperse the force of beating thin sponges, effectively restoring the internal pore structure of the sponge and improving drying efficiency.

[0031] Everything in the above example works as follows: The following is the working process of the elastic floating roller extrusion mechanism 2 for adjusting the extrusion diameter according to the production of office chair sponge materials of different thicknesses: During use, the operator places the cleaned sponge material on the conveyor belt 12. During the process of the conveyor belt 12 conveying the sponge, the sponge gradually approaches the elastic floating roller squeezing mechanism 2 until it conflicts with the elastic floating roller squeezing mechanism 2. The guide groove 23 is driven to rotate by an external drive device. During the rotation of the guide groove 23, the squeezing arc 26 is driven to rotate synchronously. Then, under the cooperation of the conveyor belt 12 conveying the sponge and the rotation of the squeezing arc 26, the sponge in transit is gradually squeezed, and the moisture therein is preliminarily pre-treated and discharged.
[0032] Furthermore, according to the different thicknesses of sponges, if the sponge is thin, the built-in driving device of the bidirectional driving screw 24 is started, so that the bidirectional driving screw 24 rotates forward. When the bidirectional driving screw 24 rotates, due to the mutually opposite thread settings at both ends, the adjusting shaft bodies 25 connected with the opposite threads on both sides thereof are driven to move toward the positioning bodies 22 on both sides respectively. In the process of the movement of the adjusting shaft bodies 25, since the adjusting shaft bodies 25 are composed of a disc with a diameter gradually decreasing in the middle toward the positioning body 22, when the two groups of adjusting shaft bodies 25 move to both sides, the disc with the largest diameter gradually aligns with the extrusion arc body 26. The internal oblique blocks fit together, and in the process of continuous movement, the extrusion arc 26 moves in the guide groove 23 and expands toward the outer circle of the guide groove 23, thereby increasing the diameter of the extrusion arc 26 and increasing its contact surface with the thin sponge, thereby better performing the pre-treatment extrusion work; on the contrary, if the thickness of the sponge increases, the bidirectional drive screw 24 is driven in the reverse direction to rotate, prompting the adjustment shaft 25 to move in the center, and the disc with the largest contact diameter collides with the extrusion arc 26, and is then replaced by another disc with a smaller diameter. In this way, the diameter of the extrusion arc 26 is changed to adjust the extrusion force to adapt to sponges of different thicknesses.
[0033] By setting the extrusion arc 26, the sponge material transported on the conveyor belt 12 is subjected to a preliminary moisture extrusion operation, which can effectively discharge the free water and part of the capillary water inside the sponge, reduce the moisture content, and the reduced moisture content greatly reduces the heat required for the subsequent drying process, thereby improving the equipment's unit time production capacity and reducing energy consumption in the drying stage. The extrusion operation can eliminate the density difference and uneven distribution of voids inside the sponge caused by the molding process, making the material structure denser and more uniform; it is more conducive to the drying medium in the drying equipment 11 to penetrate more evenly into the sponge, avoiding the phenomenon of dry outside and wet inside due to uneven moisture distribution, improving drying uniformity, ensuring the consistency of the sponge's physical properties, and avoiding defects such as bulging, deformation, and cracking caused by rapid vaporization of moisture during the drying process.
[0034] Through the setting of the elastic floating roller extrusion mechanism 2, under the cooperation of the adjusting shaft 25 and the oblique block on the inner wall of the extrusion arc 26, the diameter of the extrusion arc 26 is adjusted according to the thickness of the sponge material, avoiding a fixed extrusion diameter, which leads to insufficient extrusion of thick sponges, residual large amounts of water, and increased burden of subsequent drying. Thin sponges may be structurally damaged due to excessive extrusion. Under the setting of the adjusting shaft 25, an appropriate extrusion force is applied to sponges of different thicknesses to control the moisture content after extrusion and prevent structural damage caused by improper extrusion force. A reasonable extrusion force is applied to ensure that the thick sponge maintains its internal pore structure intact while being fully dehydrated, and the surface of the thin sponge is flat and undamaged, which helps the subsequent drying medium to penetrate and act on the sponge more evenly, thereby improving the sponge drying effect and product qualification rate.
[0035] Please refer to the above working process Figures 1 to 5 .
[0036] The following is the working process of the dual-domain linkage control mechanism 3 for adjusting the heat direction of the drying device 11 and working in conjunction with the beating amplitude to adapt to sponges of different thicknesses: During use, after the sponge is subjected to preliminary pretreatment and internal moisture squeezing operation, the sponge is transported from the extrusion chamber 21 to the drying chamber 31 under the continuous transportation of the conveyor belt 12. The expansion and contraction of the extrusion arc 26 are adjusted according to the number of rotations of the bidirectional drive screw 24 to adapt to sponge materials of different thicknesses. Under the feedback of the same external controller to which the bidirectional drive screw 24 and the electric telescopic rod 311 are connected, the adjustment data of the bidirectional drive screw 24 is transmitted to the external controller, and then the controller simultaneously controls the electric telescopic rod 311 to extend, adjusts the distance of the slide column 34 to control the swing amplitude of the swing rod 310, and the inclination angle of the guide plate 317.
[0037] The specific adjustment process of the racket amplitude of the racket rod 310 is as follows: it is started to extend by an external controller, and under the extension of the electric telescopic rod 311, the slide column 34 is pushed to move on the positioning rod 32 toward the end away from the positioning rod 32, and then the support rod provided on the slide column 34 is displaced synchronously with the movement of the slide column 34. Since a stud 35 is provided on the support rod of the slide column 34, and this stud 35 is slidably connected to the slide groove in the L-shaped groove body 36, when the slide column 34 moves toward the L-shaped groove body 36, the stud 35 on the slide column 34 moves in the L-shaped groove body 36, so that under the resistance force of the stud 35 on the L-shaped groove body 36, the end of the L-shaped groove body 36 close to the slide column 34 is pushed to move forward synchronously. When one end of the L-shaped groove body 36 moves forward, since the stud 35 is provided in the middle of the L-shaped groove body 36 and is rotatably connected to the arc groove body 33, and the arc groove body 33 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 32, the stud 35 in the middle of the L-shaped groove body 36 is used as a fulcrum, and the end of the L-shaped groove body 36 away from the sliding post 34 is tilted upward. Since the stud 35 provided on the driven block 37 is slidably connected in the groove of the end of the L-shaped groove body 36 away from the sliding post 34, when the L-shaped groove body 36 approaches the driven block 37 and tilts upward, the stud 35 is synchronously pulled to control the driven block 37 to slide upward in the arc groove of the arc groove body 33. At this time, the deflection angle of the driven block 37 increases, and the U-shaped groove body 36 connected to the driven block 37 The body 38 is synchronized with the angle change of the driven block 37, with the connection between the U-shaped body 38 and the deflection column 39 as the fulcrum. As the driven block 37 deflects upward, the driven block 37 slides and is connected to the position in the arc groove 33, and the eccentric angle with the center point of the positioning rod 32 increases. Then, when the built-in power supply of the positioning rod 32 is started to rotate forward, the positioning rod 32 rotates and drives the arc groove 33 to rotate forward. The deflection of the arc groove 33 prompts the driven block 37 connected thereto by the stud 35 to rotate forward synchronously. At this time, when the rotation range of the driven block 37 increases, the driven block 37 cooperates with the U-shaped body 38 to increase the deflection angle of the U-shaped body 38. When the swing rod 32 rotates downward, the rotation angle of the deflection column 39 fixedly connected to the U-shaped body 38 increases, thereby controlling the deflection angle of the racket rod 310 fixed thereon in the vertical direction to increase, thereby expanding the swing range of the racket rod 310. When the rotation speed of the positioning rod 32 is fixed, the larger the eccentric angle between the driven block 37 and the positioning rod 32, the larger the swing amplitude of the racket rod 310, and its frequency will also decrease accordingly, instantly raising the local height of the sponge, forming a short gap, promoting the circulation of the upper and lower layers of air flow, avoiding excessive disturbance of the thin sponge by high-frequency action, preventing material tearing, and using the elastic deformation of the sponge itself to achieve stretching under the single soft impact of the inflatable bag of the racket rod 310, avoiding material damage caused by high-frequency stress accumulation;Conversely, the positioning rod 32 contracts, driving the slide post 34 away from the arcuate groove 33. In conjunction with the L-shaped groove 36, the position of the follower block 37 sliding on the arcuate groove 33 is adjusted, bringing the follower block 37 closer to the positioning rod 32, reducing the eccentric angle and simultaneously increasing the amplitude and frequency of the racket bar 310, working in conjunction with the thick sponge.
[0038] Furthermore, the angle deflection working process of the guide plate 317 is as follows: during the extension of the electric telescopic rod 311, the guide plate 317 is fixedly connected to the electric telescopic rod 311 and the sliding column 34 through the connecting body 312. When the sliding column 34 moves away from the end of the positioning rod 32, the connecting body 312 moves synchronously in the positioning plate 313 toward the end away from the electric telescopic rod 311. Under the drive of the connecting body 312, the rack 314 moves, thereby driving the meshing sector gear set 315 to move at the connection point of the positioning plate 313. The fulcrum causes the sector gear set 315 to deflect toward the inner wall of the drying device 11, and under the restriction of the sector gear set 315 by the eccentric column on the eccentric disk 316, the guide plate 317 connected to the auxiliary sector gear set 315 deflects upward with the sector gear set 315 as the fulcrum, thereby guiding and adjusting the heat flow at the air outlet above the guide plate 317, so that the airflow is in a horizontal diffusion state, thereby more evenly covering the entire surface of the thin sponge, and avoiding local overheating caused by concentrated impact of vertical airflow.
[0039] Through the setting of the dual-domain linkage control mechanism 3, the angle of the guide plate 317 is dynamically adjusted according to the difference in sponge thickness to adjust the flow direction of the hot air. For thick sponges, the inclination angle of the guide plate is increased to allow the hot air to vertically penetrate the interior of the sponge, accelerate the vaporization of internal moisture, and avoid the problem of overheating of the surface and insufficient internal drying. For thin sponges, the angle of the guide plate is reduced to disperse the hot air so that the hot air is spread horizontally to cover the surface, quickly evaporate the surface moisture, and prevent carbonization or embrittlement caused by vertical heat concentration. The dynamic adjustment of the guide plate 317 can coordinate the contact area and angle of the hot air and the sponge, thereby shortening the average drying time of sponges of different thicknesses and avoiding ineffective heat loss and excessive concentration.
[0040] Through the setting of the slap rod 310, when the deflection angle of the guide plate 317 is adjusted to adjust the direction of the hot air flow, the slapping amplitude of the slap rod 310 is adjusted synchronously according to the deflection of the guide plate 317. The adjustable slapping amplitude can adjust the force intensity according to the thickness of the sponge. For thick sponges, high-frequency and small-amplitude slapping is adopted to avoid compaction of the internal structure due to strong slapping, while continuously loosening the fibers, increasing the penetration depth of hot air, and restoring the fluffiness; for thin sponges, low-frequency and large-amplitude slapping is adopted to prevent high-frequency vibration from causing fiber breakage and improve the air permeability of the pores inside the sponge. The dynamic adjustment of the slapping amplitude of the slap rod 310 can effectively correct local accumulation or depression of the sponge due to uneven thickness. In conjunction with the material structure of the slap rod 310, the air pressure buffer mechanism of the internal air bag is further used to avoid damage such as tearing of the sponge. Flexible contact force replaces the rigid impact when slapping thick sponges, and elastic buffering is used to disperse the force of slapping thin sponges, effectively restoring the internal pore structure of the sponge and improving drying efficiency.
