Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of down processing, in particular to dehydrated down drying processing equipment and a method. Background Art
[0002] Before filling, to ensure its hygiene and safety, down usually needs to be cleaned to remove impurities such as grease, dust and microorganisms. After cleaning, the down also needs to go through a dehydration step to remove most of the moisture in preparation for subsequent drying.
[0003] Traditional drying methods mostly involve placing dehydrated down into an oven for drying. After dehydration, a certain amount of moisture will still remain between the down fibers, making the down prone to clumping together. This is especially true when the down is directly placed in the oven, where the clumping phenomenon is more pronounced. Although the oven is usually equipped with a stirring mechanism designed to disperse the clumping down through mechanical stirring, in actual applications, the clumping down is difficult to be effectively dispersed by the stirring mechanism, resulting in poor drying effect. In addition, the shear force during the stirring process can easily damage the down, thereby affecting the quality of the down.

It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technical personnel in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0026] See also Figures 1 to 5 , a dehydrated down drying processing equipment includes a bracket 7 and a lower splint 1 and an upper splint 3 arranged on the bracket 7, the lower splint 1 is parallel to the upper splint 3, and a material box 6 for putting dehydrated down is provided on the upper splint 3, the lower end of the material box 6 is open and flush with the lower side of the upper splint 3, a drying box 8 is provided on the lower splint 1, and the upper end of the drying box 8 is open and flush with the upper side of the lower splint 1, and a rotatable material taking seat 2 is provided between the lower splint 1 and the upper splint 3, the upper and lower sides of the material taking seat 2 are respectively fitted with the upper splint 3 and the lower splint 1, and a plurality of material troughs 15 are evenly arranged on the material taking seat 2 in the circumferential direction, the radial dimensions of the material box 6, the material trough 15 and the drying box 8 are adapted, and the center points of the material box 6, the material trough 15 and the drying box 8 are located on the same circular line; The drying processing equipment also includes a pressing assembly 13 for pressing the dehydrated down in the material box 6 to fill the material trough 15 and a pushing assembly 4 for pushing the dehydrated down in the material trough 15 downward to make it fall into the drying box 8. The drying box 8 is provided with a scattering rack 12 that can be tilted up and down. The scattering rack 12 includes a scattering rack support rod 1201 and a plurality of grid plates 1202 arranged in series on the scattering rack support rod 1201. Heating elements 14 are evenly distributed on the wall of the drying box 8 (the heating elements 14 are electric heating elements such as electric heating tubes and electric heating wires in the prior art, which are not limited or elaborated in this application). The drying processing equipment also includes a blowing assembly 11 for intermittently blowing the dehydrated down in the drying box 8 upward.
[0027] The dehydrated down is placed in the material box 6, and the material taking seat 2 rotates to drive several material troughs 15 to revolve. When the material trough 15 revolves to fit with the lower end of the material box 6, the dehydrated down in the material box 6 is filled into the material trough 15 under the action of the material pressing component 13 for loading. During this process, the material taking seat 2 pauses to rotate. After the loading is completed, the material taking seat 2 continues to rotate to drive the material trough 15 with the loaded material to revolve to a position that fits with the upper end of the drying box 8. The material taking seat 2 pauses to rotate again, and the dehydrated down in the material trough 15 is pushed into the drying box 8 by the pushing component 4. The dehydrated down is dried by the heating element 14. The component 11 intermittently blows the dehydrated down in the drying box 8 upward to make it rise, and then the dehydrated down falls under the action of gravity, and this continues for a certain period of time. During this process, the scattering rack 12 is in an up and down state, and the dehydrated down is fully shaken and dispersed after contacting it, and the dehydrated down is gently dispersed, which not only ensures that the dehydrated down is evenly dispersed and heated, improves the drying effect, but also avoids damage to the down and ensures the quality of the down. After the dehydrated down in the drying box 8 is dried, it is cleaned and discharged, and the material dispensing seat 2 continues to rotate and repeats the above action. In this cycle, batch drying operation is carried out to achieve full, uniform and damage-free drying of the dehydrated down.
[0028] Furthermore, the drying box 8 is provided with exhaust holes on its wall (not shown in the figure).
[0029] Furthermore, the drying processing equipment also includes a first driving member 5 for driving the material picking seat 2 to rotate (the first driving member 5 is a rotating device such as a servo motor, a reduction motor, etc. in the prior art, which is not limited or elaborated here).
[0030] See also Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment of the present invention, the pushing assembly 4 includes a through slot 401 provided on the upper splint 3 and a pushing plate 402 provided in the through slot 401. The through slot 401 is located directly above the drying box 8, and the through slot 401 and the pushing plate 402 are both adapted to the material storage trough 15. The upper splint 3 is provided with a plurality of telescopic parts 403 for driving the pushing plate 402 to rise and fall (the telescopic parts 403 can be telescopic cylinders, electric telescopic rods, etc., which are prior art and are not limited or detailed here). The telescopic parts 403 drive the pushing plate 402 to descend to push the dehydrated down in the material storage trough 15 into the drying box 8. It should be noted that the pushing plate 402 does not reset after pushing the dehydrated down into the drying box 8. It resets after the batch of dehydrated down is dried, thereby blocking the upper end of the drying box 8 to prevent the down from running.
[0031] See also Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the pressing assembly 13 includes a hanging rod 1301 that can be clamped on the material box 6 and a hanging rope 1303 provided on the hanging rod 1301, and the end of the hanging rope 1303 away from the hanging rod 1301 is provided with a pressing block 1302 adapted to the inner cavity of the material box 6 (after the pressing block 1302 is placed in the material box 6, the side of the pressing block 1302 is in contact with the inner wall of the material box 6), and the end of the hanging rope 1303 away from the hanging rod 1301 is connected to the pressing block 1302, and two notches 1304 for clamping the hanging rod 1301 are symmetrically provided on the upper edge of the material box 6, and the length of the hanging rope 1303 is configured as follows: the maximum downward movement of the pressing block 1302 along the inner cavity of the material box 6 is to the point where the lower side of the pressing block 1302 is flush with the lower end of the material box 6.
[0032] In this embodiment, after putting an appropriate amount of dehydrated down into the material box 6, the pressing block 1302 is placed in the material box 6, and then the hanging rod 1301 is clamped into the groove 1304 on the upper edge of the material box 6. The dehydrated down in the material box 6 is pressed down by the gravity of the pressing block 1302, so that the material trough 15 is filled with dehydrated down for loading when the material trough 15 rotates to fit with the lower end of the material box 6.
[0033] See also Figure 4 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the blowing assembly 11 includes an air inlet cavity 1101 provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the drying box 8 and a hot air blower 1102 for delivering hot air into the air inlet cavity 1101. Air outlet holes 1103 are evenly distributed on the upper side of the air inlet cavity 1101, and each of the air outlet holes 1103 is provided with a filter 1104 for blocking down.
[0034] In this embodiment, the hot air blower 1102 is intermittently started to intermittently deliver hot air to the air inlet chamber 1101. The hot air entering the air inlet chamber 1101 is discharged upward through the air outlet holes 1103, thereby blowing the dehydrated down in the drying box 8 upward. When the hot air blower 1102 stops, the dehydrated down moves downward under the action of its own gravity, so that the dehydrated down is in a state of reciprocating movement up and down in the drying box 8, and the dehydrated down is fully dispersed by the up and down shaking of the down rack 12.
[0035] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the drying box 8 is further provided with a down discharge assembly 9 for transporting and cleaning the down that has been dried in the drying box 8. The down discharge assembly 9 includes a down delivery pump and a down guide tube provided at the down outlet end of the down delivery pump. After the dehydrated down is dried, the down delivery pump transports the down in the drying box 8 to a designated location, and the drying box 8 is emptied for the next batch of dehydrated down drying operations.
[0036] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the drying processing equipment also includes a driving component 10 for realizing the up and down movement of the velvet rack 12, and the driving component 10 includes a flower-shaped part 1001 provided below the drying box 8 and a second driving component 1002 for driving the flower-shaped part 1001 to rotate (the second driving component 1002 is a rotating device such as a servo motor and a reduction motor in the prior art, which is not limited or detailed here). The lower end of the velvet rack support rod 1201 passes through the bottom side of the drying box 8 and extends to the bottom of the drying box 8 and abuts against the side of the flower-shaped part 1001. Since the lower end of the support rod 1201 abuts against the side of the flower-shaped part 1001, the flower-shaped part 1001 is driven to rotate by the second driving component 1002, and combined with the gravity of the velvet rack 12 itself, the velvet rack 12 is able to move up and down.
[0037] The present invention also provides a dehydrated down drying method, which uses the dehydrated down drying equipment described in any one of the above technical solutions, including the following steps: S1: placing dehydrated down in a material box 6; S2: The material taking seat 2 rotates to drive the plurality of material troughs 15 to revolve. When the material troughs 15 revolve to fit with the lower end of the material box 6, the dehydrated down in the material box 6 is filled into the material troughs 15 under the action of the material pressing assembly 13 to load the material. After the loading is completed, the material taking seat 2 continues to rotate to drive the loaded material troughs 15 to revolve to a position that fits with the upper end of the drying box 8. The dehydrated down in the material troughs 15 is pushed into the drying box 8 by the material pushing assembly 4. S3: The heating element 14 generates heat to dry the dehydrated down. The blowing assembly 11 intermittently blows the dehydrated down in the drying box 8 upward to make it rise. Then the dehydrated down falls under the action of gravity. This process continues for a certain period of time. During this process, the scattering rack 12 is in an up and down state. After the dehydrated down comes into contact with it, it is fully shaken and dispersed, so that it is evenly heated. S4: the dehydrated down feathers in the drying box 8 are cleaned and discharged, and steps S2 and S3 are repeated in this cycle to achieve the goal of drying all the dehydrated down feathers in the material box 6.

This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
