A heating fan is provided on the top of the jet arc ring through a telescopic pipe, and the heating fan is provided at the top of the drying chamber. The input ends of the air ducts are all provided with solenoid valves.

[0016] Preferably, an air flow velocity sensor is provided at the output end of the air duct, and the air flow velocity sensor is electrically connected to the console.

[0017] Preferably, an embedded groove is provided on the inner wall of the inlet and outlet, a sealing plate is movably connected to the inner wall of the embedded groove, a connecting block is provided on the outer wall of the sealing plate, a third hydraulic cylinder is provided at one end of the connecting block, and one side of the third hydraulic cylinder is provided on the front of the drying chamber.

[0018] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a first servo motor, and the first servo motor is arranged in the middle of the front of the workbench, the output end of the first servo motor is provided with a first threaded rod, the outer wall of the first threaded rod is threadedly connected to a slider, and the slider is movably connected to the inside of the slide rail, a second servo motor is embedded in the top of the slider, and a loading platform is provided on the top of the second servo motor.

[0019] Preferably, a plurality of movable grooves are provided on the top of the loading platform, a third servo motor is embedded in the inner wall of the movable groove, a second threaded rod is provided at the output end of the third servo motor, a clamping plate is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the second threaded rod, a rubber pad is provided on one side of the clamping plate, a pressure sensor is embedded in one side of the rubber pad, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the console.

[0020] Preferably, the waste heat recovery component includes a heat exchanger, and the heat exchanger is arranged on the top of the drying chamber. The input end of the heat exchanger is provided with a suction pipe, and the other end of the suction pipe is installed through the interior of the drying chamber.

[0021] Preferably, the output end of the heat exchanger is connected to the air inlet duct through a pipe, and the output end of the air inlet duct is connected to the input end of the heating fan. An air inlet hole is opened on the outer wall of the air inlet duct, and a dust filter is provided on the inner wall of the air inlet hole.

[0022] Preferably, a PTC heater is provided on the inner wall of the air inlet duct, and the PTC heater is electrically connected to the console, and the power of the PTC heater is closed-loop controlled by the console, so that the air inlet temperature is always 3-5°C higher than the real-time temperature of the drying chamber.

[0023] Preferably, the working steps of the intelligent air-drying device for irregularly colored glassware are as follows:

[0024] S1. The operator places the irregular colored glassware on the transmission assembly of the slide rail. The control console activates the transmission system, and the transmission assembly in the slide rail transports the glassware to the entrance or exit of the drying chamber. The automatic doors at the entrance or exit open and automatically close after the glassware enters the drying chamber.

[0025] S2. The temperature and humidity sensor collects the initial temperature and humidity data in the drying room in real time. The infrared surface moisture detector scans the surface of the container to obtain the initial moisture distribution data. The console sets the initial drying parameters according to the preset program or historical data.

[0026] S3. The heat exchanger extracts the hot and humid air from the dry room through the suction pipe. The hot and humid air exchanges heat with the fresh air in the air inlet duct to preheat the fresh air. The PTC heater accurately replenishes the preheated air and maintains the temperature through closed-loop control.

[0027] S4. The first hydraulic cylinder drives the fixed plate to rise and fall vertically, adjusting the air jet arc ring to the height of the vessel axis. The second hydraulic cylinder pushes each air jet arc ring to expand and contract horizontally, forming an enclosing structure that matches the vessel shape. The control console independently controls the air volume distribution of each air duct through the solenoid valve based on the infrared detection data, increasing the air volume in the moisture residual area and reducing the air volume in the dried area to prevent the colorant from falling off due to overdrying.

[0028] S5. The heating fan delivers temperature-controlled air through the telescopic duct to each air jet arc ring. The air jet arc ring generates a spiral airflow, forming a uniform air curtain on the surface of the container. At the same time, the transmission assembly drives the container to rotate at a low speed. The infrared surface moisture detector continuously scans and updates the moisture distribution data in real time. The solenoid valve opening is modified to optimize the air volume distribution, and the PTC heater power is adjusted to maintain the temperature gradient.

[0029] S6. When the infrared surface moisture detector detects that the overall moisture content is lower than the preset threshold, the heating fan reduces its power to the insulation mode, the transmission assembly returns the container to the inlet and outlet, the automatic door opens, and the dried container is taken out. The console records the drying data and optimizes the subsequent batch control model.

[0030] Preferably, the step S3 further includes the following steps:

[0031] S31. The dust filter on the air inlet at one end of the air inlet duct filters particulate matter in the incoming air.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] 1. This invention utilizes a highly automated design, including a transmission assembly that drives the glassware, automating the air-drying process and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, temperature and humidity sensors and an infrared surface moisture detector monitor environmental parameters and surface moisture of the glassware in real time. The control console dynamically adjusts each component based on this data, ensuring consistent and stable air-drying quality. Furthermore, the introduction of a waste heat recovery component effectively recovers exhaust heat, improving energy efficiency. Furthermore, a multi-directional adaptive air curtain assembly, an air jet arc ring driven by a first hydraulic cylinder and multiple sets of second hydraulic cylinders, and an air duct with an independent solenoid valve dynamically conform to the complex curved surfaces of the glassware. Combined with the infrared surface moisture detector, the airflow intensity is adjusted in real time, completely eliminating drying dead spots.

[0034] 2. This invention uses an airflow velocity sensor at the output end of the air duct to monitor the wind speed at each air outlet in real time. This data is fed back to the control console, dynamically adjusting the solenoid valve opening and the power of the heating fan. This achieves precise closed-loop control of airflow pressure on complex curved surfaces, completely preventing damage to the container due to excessive airflow or drying residue caused by insufficient airflow. Furthermore, the inlet and outlet utilize a hydraulically driven sealing structure. A third hydraulic cylinder, through a connecting block, pushes the sealing plate tightly into the embedded groove, forming a physical isolation barrier to reduce heat leakage. This dual dimension of precise internal airflow control and external environmental isolation ensures efficient and damage-free drying of irregularly colored glassware.

[0035] 3. This invention uses a first servo motor to drive a first threaded rod, which drives the slider for precise horizontal movement along the rail. A second servo motor controls 360-degree rotation of the loading platform. This dual-axis linkage allows any curved surface of the container to be aligned with the efficient drying zone of the air curtain in real time. Simultaneously, a third servo motor, via a second threaded rod, drives the multi-directional clamping plate to adaptively retract. An embedded pressure sensor monitors the clamping force in real time and provides feedback to the control console, dynamically adjusting the pressure to a safe threshold. Combined with a rubber cushion, this provides an overload protection mechanism to prevent thin-walled or irregularly shaped glassware from shattering.

[0036] 4. This invention uses a heat exchanger to recover heat from the high-temperature exhaust air in the drying chamber through the intake pipe, preheating the dust filter of the fresh air introduced through the air inlet to ensure cleanliness. The preheated air is then transported through the air inlet duct to the heating fan. The closed-loop PTC heater precisely controls the temperature, ensuring that the inlet air temperature is always 3-5°C higher than the actual drying chamber temperature. This specific temperature difference design completely eliminates the risk of condensation, protects the color layer of glassware, and maintains optimal evaporation efficiency, thereby reducing energy consumption and heat damage.

[0067] Example 5: Please refer to Figure 8The present invention provides an embodiment: the working steps of the intelligent air-drying device for irregular colored glassware are as follows:

[0068] S1. Place the irregular colored glassware to be dried on the stage 25. The control console 9 starts the third servo motor 27 according to a preset program or manual instruction. The third servo motor 27 drives the second threaded rod 28 to rotate, driving the clamping plate 29 to move within the movable groove 26. The rubber pad 30 on the clamping plate 29 contacts the glassware. The pressure sensor 31 monitors the clamping force in real time. When the pressure reaches a preset safety threshold, the control console 9 stops the third servo motor 27, completing the stable and flexible clamping of the glassware.

[0069] S2. The control console 9 activates the first servo motor 21, which rotates the first threaded rod 22. The first threaded rod 22 drives the slider 23, threadedly connected to it, to move within the slide rail 3. The loading platform 25 and the mounted container on the slider 23 move with it, passing through the inlet 4 and into the drying chamber 2. The third hydraulic cylinder 20 actuates, pushing the connecting block 19 and sealing plate 18 within the internal groove 17, closing the inlet 4 and ensuring the drying chamber 2 is airtight.

[0070] S3, the control console 9 starts the second servo motor 24, which drives the stage 25 to rotate, adjusts the orientation of the vessel on the horizontal plane, and optimizes the subsequent air-drying angle;

[0071] S4. The control console 9 controls the first hydraulic cylinder 10 according to the shape of the vessel. The first hydraulic cylinder 10 drives the fixed plate 11 and the entire air curtain assembly to a suitable height in the vertical direction. The control console 9 controls each second hydraulic cylinder 12. The second hydraulic cylinder 12 drives the air jet arc ring 13 to move, so that the air curtain formed by the group of air ducts 14 accurately matches the irregular contour of the vessel.

[0072] S5. The control console 9 starts the heating fan 15 and the PTC heater 37. The external fresh air passes through the air inlet 35 and the preheated air recovered from waste heat is mixed through the air inlet duct 34 and enters the heating fan 15. The PTC heater 37 operates under the closed-loop control of the control console 9 to ensure that the mixed inlet air temperature is always 3-5°C higher than the real-time temperature measured by the temperature and humidity sensor 7 in the drying chamber 2. The heated air flow is transported to the air jet arc ring 13 through the telescopic duct.

[0073] S6. The control console 9 dynamically adjusts the power of the heating fan 15 and the opening of the solenoid valve 38 on each air duct 14 based on the preset drying curve, the drying chamber environmental parameters fed back by the temperature and humidity sensor 7, the surface moisture data of different parts of the vessel monitored in real time by the infrared surface moisture detector 8, and the feedback from the air flow velocity sensor 16, so that hot air is ejected from the air duct 14 to form an adaptive air curtain that wraps around the complex surface of the vessel, thereby removing moisture efficiently and evenly.

[0074] S7: The hot and humid exhaust gas generated during the drying process is sucked into the heat exchanger 32 from the top of the drying chamber 2 through the suction pipe 33. Inside the heat exchanger 32, the heat in the exhaust gas is transferred to the fresh air entering through the air inlet 35, preheating it. The preheated fresh air is mixed with some supplementary fresh air and then enters the air inlet duct 34. It is further heated to the target temperature by the PTC heater 37, achieving energy recovery and utilization.

[0075] S8. The infrared surface moisture detector 8 continuously monitors the moisture content on the surface of the vessel. When it is detected that the moisture content on the surface of the vessel reaches a preset drying completion threshold, the console 9 determines that drying is complete. The console 9 turns off the heating fan 15 and the PTC heater 37, stops the air supply and heating, and the third hydraulic cylinder 20 is actuated to open the sealing plate 18. The first servo motor 21 reverses, driving the loading platform 25 and the dried vessel to move out of the drying chamber 2 along the slide rail 3 and through the inlet and outlet 4 to the material removal position of the workbench 1. The third servo motor 27 reverses to release the clamping plate 29 and remove the dried vessel.

[0076] Working principle: Through a highly automated design, including the transmission component driving the container to move, the air drying process is automated and production efficiency is improved. Secondly, the temperature and humidity sensor 7 and the infrared surface moisture detector 8 monitor the environmental parameters and the surface moisture of the container in real time. The console 9 dynamically adjusts each component based on these data to ensure the consistency and stability of the air drying quality. In addition, the introduction of the waste heat recovery component effectively recovers the exhaust heat and improves the energy utilization efficiency. The multi-directional adaptive air curtain component is driven by the first hydraulic cylinder 10 and multiple sets of second hydraulic cylinders 12, and the jet arc ring 13 and the independent solenoid valve 38 The air duct 14 dynamically fits the complex curved surface of the glassware, and combines with the infrared surface moisture detector 8 to adjust the airflow intensity in real time, completely eliminating the drying dead corner. The airflow velocity sensor 16 at the output end of the air duct 14 monitors the wind speed of each air outlet in real time, and feeds the data back to the console 9, dynamically adjusts the opening of the solenoid valve 38 and the power of the heating fan 15, and realizes the precise closed-loop control of the airflow pressure on the complex curved surface, completely avoiding the damage of the vessel by excessive airflow or the drying residue caused by excessive airflow. At the same time, the inlet and outlet 4 adopts a hydraulically driven sealing structure, and the third hydraulic cylinder 20 pushes the sealing plate 18 to be tightly embedded in the embedded groove 17 through the connecting block 19, forming a material. The first servo motor 21 drives the first threaded rod 22 to drive the slider 23 to move precisely horizontally along the slide rail 3. The second servo motor 24 controls the stage 25 to rotate 360°. The dual-axis linkage enables any curved surface of the vessel to be aligned with the efficient drying area of the air curtain in real time. At the same time, the third servo motor 27 drives the multi-directional clamping plate 29 to adaptively contract through the second threaded rod 28. The embedded pressure sensor 31 monitors the clamping force in real time and feeds back to the console 9, dynamically adjusting the pressure to The safety threshold, combined with the rubber cushion 30, forms an overload protection mechanism to prevent thin-walled or special-shaped glassware from shattering. The heat of the high-temperature exhaust air in the drying chamber 2 is recovered through the heat exchanger 32 via the suction pipe 33, and the fresh air dust filter 36 introduced from the air inlet 35 is preheated to ensure cleanliness. The preheated air is transported to the heating fan 15 through the air inlet duct 34 and the closed-loop precise temperature control of the PTC heater 37 ensures that the inlet air temperature is always 3-5°C higher than the real-time temperature of the drying chamber 2. This specific temperature difference design completely eliminates the risk of condensation, protects the coloring layer of the glassware, and maintains optimal evaporation efficiency, thereby reducing energy consumption and heat damage.
