Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sock drying, and in particular to a sock drying machine. Background Art

[0002] A sock dryer is a device for drying socks. Under the action of wind, it can exchange cold air with a heating device to turn it into dry hot air, exchange heat with the socks, evaporate the moisture in the socks, and achieve the purpose of drying the socks.

[0003] Existing sock dryers are slow in drying socks. Since the socks to be dried contain moisture, direct drying will result in a long time for the moisture to evaporate. In addition, the efficiency of spreading heat throughout the interior of the existing dryer is slow, which in turn results in a smaller heating range for the socks, further affecting the drying efficiency. For this reason, the present application proposes a sock dryer. Summary of the Invention

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the number of the extrusion rollers, rotating tubes, driven gears, heat-conducting tubes and connecting rings is eight, and the eight extrusion rollers, rotating tubes, driven gears, heat-conducting tubes and connecting rings are symmetrically arranged inside the box. The number of the driving gears is four, and the four driving gears are arranged to mesh with the eight driven gears. The number of the linkage gears is three, and the three linkage gears are all meshed with the four driving gears.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving gear can be driven to rotate by a single mobile power source of the rotating motor, and then the eight squeezing rollers can be driven to rotate synchronously in conjunction with the linkage gear.

The teeth of the rack are engaged with a transmission gear, and the outer side of the transmission gear is fixedly connected to the power output shaft of the servo motor, and the servo motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the box body.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the servo motor can be driven to drive the transmission gear to rotate, and then the rack can be used to move the baffle to cover the top of the discharge chute, which can be used to seal and cover the discharge chute to ensure that the hot air inside the box will not leak during the drying process.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of positioning frames are installed on the inner wall of the squeezing roller, and the heating rod is fixed to the inner walls of the plurality of positioning frames.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the heating rod can be positioned to ensure that the heating rod can be stably installed inside the squeezing roller and can stably transfer heat to the squeezing roller.

[0022] Beneficial effects of this application: The sock dryer drives a heating rod to transfer heat to a squeezing roller, thereby drying the socks in the middle of the squeezing roller. The rotating motor can be driven synchronously to rotate a driving gear, and then cooperate with the linkage gear to drive eight squeezing rollers to rotate synchronously, thereby squeezing the socks placed in the gap between the squeezing rollers, thereby facilitating the discharge of moisture contained in the socks and improving the drying efficiency. The heat generated by the heating rod inside the squeezing roller when heated can be discharged to the interior of the box through a heat pipe, thereby quickly filling the entire interior of the box with hot air and accelerating the sock drying efficiency.

[0023] The sock dryer is provided with a material blocking pipe to intercept the bottom of the socks during drying and squeezing, thereby preventing them from falling to the top of the bracket. When drying is completed, the ball valve can be opened synchronously to discharge the hot air inside the box to the outside to achieve pressure relief, thereby avoiding directly opening the protective door to cause hot air to directly hit the face and cause hot air burns. Conversely, by removing the material blocking pipe, the dried socks can fall to the top of the bracket for material collection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 The sealing assembly includes a baffle 18, which is slidably connected to the top of the box body 1. A rack 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the baffle 18.

The inner wall of the box body 1 is slidably connected with a bracket 11, so that the water generated when the squeezing roller 2 squeezes the socks can be directly collected into the interior of the storage box 10, and will not be discharged at will. The water inside the storage box 10 can be discharged to the side of the positioning frame 17, and then discharged to the outside through the positioning frame 17, reducing the water residue inside the storage box 10.

[0032] See Figure 5The inner wall of the box body 1 is slidably connected with a material blocking tube 13, and the outer edge of the material blocking tube 13 is installed with a threaded line 14, and the threaded line 14 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 1, and the inner wall of the material blocking tube 13 is rotatably installed with a ball valve 15. The material blocking tube 13 is arranged at the lower middle position of the eight squeezing rollers 2, and a pressure relief hole is opened on the inner wall of the material blocking tube 13, so that the material blocking tube 13 can be used to intercept the bottom of the socks during drying and squeezing to ensure that it does not fall to the top of the bracket 11. When the drying is completed, the ball valve 15 can be opened synchronously to discharge the hot air inside the box body 1 to the outside to achieve pressure relief, so as to avoid directly opening the protective door 25 to cause the hot air to hit the face door directly and cause hot air burns.

[0033] See Figure 1 The outer side of the box body 1 is rotatably connected to a protective door 25, and a handle is installed on the outer wall of the protective door 25, so that it can be used to protect the material taking opening of the box body 1 to ensure that hot air will not leak easily when the material is dried.

[0036] Working principle: First, the socks to be dried can be put into the middle position of the eight squeezing rollers 2 through the discharge chute 26, and then the servo motor 24 is driven to drive the transmission gear 23 to rotate, and then the rack 22 can be used to move the baffle 18 to cover the top of the discharge chute 26, which can be used to seal the discharge chute 26 to ensure that the hot air inside the box 1 will not leak during the drying process. Then the heating rod 16 can be driven to transfer heat to the squeezing roller 2 to dry the socks in the middle position of the squeezing roller 2. The rotating motor 7 can be driven synchronously to drive the driving gear 8 to rotate, and then the linkage gear 9 can be used to drive the eight squeezing rollers 2 to rotate synchronously, which can be used to squeeze the socks placed in the gap between the squeezing rollers 2, thereby facilitating the discharge of moisture contained in the socks and improving the drying efficiency. The heat generated by the heating rod 16 inside the squeezing roller 2 can be discharged to the inside of the box 1 through the heat pipe 5, which can be used to quickly fill the entire box 1 with hot air, thereby accelerating the efficiency of sock drying. Secondly, the blocking tube 13 can be used to intercept the bottom of the socks during drying and squeezing to prevent them from falling to the top of the bracket 11. When drying is completed, the ball valve 15 can be opened synchronously to discharge the hot air inside the box 1 to the outside to achieve pressure relief, thereby avoiding directly opening the protective door 25 to cause hot air to hit the face directly and cause hot air burns. On the contrary, the blocking tube 13 can be removed to allow the dried socks to fall to the top of the bracket 11. Finally, the protective door 25 can be opened and the bracket 11 can be pulled to move the socks to the outside for material collection.
