Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a plant specimen drying device, and more particularly to a portable, rotatable specimen drying device, belonging to the field of plant specimen drying equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Plant specimens are required in fields such as biodiversity analysis, ecological environment protection, forest resource exploration, and systematic taxonomy research. Plant specimen collection is often conducted in the field, and the timely drying and effectiveness of the drying process are crucial to the integrity and validity of the specimens. It also significantly impacts subsequent experimental analysis, data extraction, and the reliability and reproducibility of scientific research results.
[0003] Laboratory-specific specimen drying devices are too large and heavy to meet the needs of drying specimens collected in the field, and there are few reports on mature portable and retractable specimen drying devices.
[0004] Currently, there are the following challenges in drying plant specimens in the field, in non-laboratory environments: (1) They should be foldable and easy to store, so as to be easy to carry; (2) The internal temperature of the specimen drying device should be uniform to improve the drying efficiency; (3) The specimen should be provided with continuous hot air for drying.
[0005] Currently available devices for timely drying of specimens after field collection have the following shortcomings in practical use:
[0006] (1) Inconvenient for transportation and folding for storage;
[0007] (2) The drying device has uneven internal heating temperature and low drying efficiency;
[0008] (3) Hair dryers have a short working time and are prone to malfunction if they are used continuously for a long time. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to solve the aforementioned problems by proposing a portable, retractable specimen drying device. The key structural design considers the storage device, the electric turntable, and the dual air inlets. The storage device consists of a steel wire frame and a cover made of polyester material, which is foldable, heat-resistant, and easy to transport. The dual air inlet structure utilizes CFD technology to simulate and analyze the airflow inside the drying device, achieving uniform hot air distribution and improving drying efficiency. The electric turntable rotates the specimen holders, ensuring even drying of plant specimens. Using one electric turntable and two or more air inlets improves airflow distribution and drying efficiency. The electric blowers connected to the air inlets can operate alternately, significantly reducing the blower failure rate.
[0010] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0011] A portable, rotatable specimen drying device is characterized by comprising a polyester cover, an air outlet, a fan interface, a hair dryer, a fan bracket, an air inlet, a steel wire frame, a base plate, an electric turntable, a cover opening, and a zipper. Specifically, the steel wire frame and the polyester cover form the storage device; the cover opening is located at the top of the polyester cover, and a zipper is provided along the edge of the opening; the air inlets are located on both sides below the polyester cover; the air outlet is located on one side above the polyester cover; both the air inlet and outlet are made of polyester; the fan bracket is fixedly connected to the hair dryer; the fan interface is connected to the hair dryer's exhaust port; the fan interface is connected to the air inlets on both sides; corrugated cardboard and plant specimens are used to make specimen clips; the specimen clips are placed on the electric turntable; the electric turntable is placed on the base plate; the base plate is located below the electric turntable and provides support.
[0012] The advantages of the present invention are:
[0013] (1) The steel wire frame, polyester cover, fan bracket, electric hair dryer and other components can be disassembled and assembled on site for easy carrying and transportation;
[0014] (2) The electric turntable drives the specimen holder to rotate, which can make the specimen heat evenly and improve the drying efficiency.
[0015] (3) Dual air inlets can improve airflow distribution and increase drying efficiency;
[0016] (4) Hair dryers can work alternately, extending working time and significantly reducing the failure rate of hair dryers. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] This invention provides a portable, retractable specimen drying device, comprising a polyester cover, an air outlet, a fan interface, a hair dryer, a fan bracket, an air inlet, a steel wire frame, a base plate, an electric turntable, a cover opening, and a zipper. Specifically, the steel wire frame 7 and the polyester cover 1 form the retractable device, which reduces heat loss. The retractable device can be directly folded and unfolded during use. The cover opening 10 is located at the top of the polyester cover 1, and a zipper 11 is provided along the edge of the cover opening 10. Air inlets 6 are located on both sides below the polyester cover 1. The air outlet 2 is located on one side above the polyester cover 1. Both the air inlet 6 and the air outlet 2 are made of polyester. The fan bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the hair dryer 4. The fan interface 3 is connected to the hair dryer 4 and is made of rubber to prevent heat loss and facilitate installation and disassembly. The fan interface 3 is connected to the air inlet... Air vent 6 is connected; base plate 8 is placed at the bottom of polyester cover 1; corrugated paper and plant specimens are made into specimen clips, which are placed on electric turntable 9. Electric turntable 9 drives the specimen clips to rotate, so that the plant specimens can be dried evenly; electric turntable 9 is placed on base plate 8; specimen clips are placed in polyester cover 1, and base plate 8 is located below the specimen clips to provide support; after placing the specimen clips, zipper 11 is pulled up; after power is turned on, the electric hair dryer 4 starts to work, and electric turntable 9 drives the specimen clips to rotate, so that the plant specimens can be dried evenly. Finally, hot air is discharged from air outlet 2. The electric hair dryers 4 on both sides can work alternately until the specimens are dried.
[0023] In this embodiment, the steel wire frame 7 is a 304 stainless steel spring wire with a diameter of 4mm. It is lightweight, flexible, and easy to carry. The steel wire frame 7 and the polyester cover 1 form a storage device with an overall length of 500mm, width of 500mm, and height of 900mm. The overall size is small and easy to carry, which fully meets the needs of plant specimen collection and drying in the field. It is very suitable for field specimen collection and drying.
