Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of towel drying technology, specifically a circulating dryer for disinfecting hotel towels. Background Technology

[0002] Hotel towels come into contact with different people's skin, sweat, and dander during use, and may become contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria (e.g., E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus), viruses (e.g., influenza virus), and fungi (e.g., the mold that causes athlete's foot). Therefore, they need to be effectively cleaned. After cleaning, the towels need to be dried and disinfected. The disinfection and drying process can effectively kill these microorganisms through high temperature or ultraviolet light, avoiding cross-infection caused by repeated use of towels and reducing the risk of illness for guests.

[0003] For example, patent CN217438503U discloses a towel dryer, including a drying chamber, a drying component, a reflux component, a wetting component, and a towel rack. In the entire drying and sterilization process, a non-contact air heating method is used to isolate the heat source from the drying chamber, which facilitates more uniform drying and sterilization of the towels. In addition, during the drying and sterilization process, the reflux component forms a hot air circulation of heated air inside the drying chamber, which facilitates more efficient drying of the towels.

[0004] When using the aforementioned patent, the towels to be dried are placed on the towel rack on the protective cover. After placement, the protective cover is pushed towards the inside of the drying chamber, causing the towels to move into the drying chamber. Once inside, the towels are dried by the drying components. However, during the drying process, the towels become tightly stuck together due to the fibers adhering to each other in their damp state. This creates a closed, damp area inside the towel, which not only hinders the airflow generated by the hot air circulation system from penetrating the towel fibers and prevents heat from being evenly transferred to the deeper layers of the bonded areas, but also makes it difficult for the moisture at the bonded areas to evaporate and drain, thus hindering the efficiency of towel drying.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a circulating dryer for disinfecting hotel towels to solve the above problems.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Based on the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, the problem to be solved by this application is to provide a circulating dryer for disinfecting hotel towels, which solves the problem that towels to be dried will stick together tightly due to the mutual adsorption of fibers in a damp state, which is not conducive to improving the drying efficiency of towels.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is: a circulating dryer for disinfecting hotel towels, including a cabinet; A placement assembly is installed inside the housing. The placement assembly includes a rotating shaft installed inside the housing, two mounting seats mounted on the rotating shaft, multiple placement rods mounted on the two mounting seats, elastic clamps mounted on both sides of the upper end of each placement rod, a partition mounted on the lower end of the placement rod, and multiple U-shaped rods mounted on both sides of the lower end of the partition. A drying assembly, which is mounted on the housing; A drive assembly, which is installed at the lower end of the housing, is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0009] Furthermore, the drying assembly includes two heating tubes installed at the rear end of the chamber, and two fans are installed at the rear end of the chamber, with the fans located at the rear end of the heating tubes.

[0010] Furthermore, a first ventilation hood is installed on the inner wall of the box, and a second ventilation hood is installed on the outer wall of the box.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple mounting frames are installed on both sides of the interior of the box, and each mounting frame is equipped with an ultraviolet disinfection lamp.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a mounting plate installed inside the protective housing. A connecting shaft is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting plate, and a worm gear is mounted on the outer wall of the connecting shaft. The upper end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft via a coupling. A drive motor is installed inside the protective housing. A support frame is installed on the other side of the mounting plate. A worm is installed at the output end of the drive motor, and the other end of the worm is rotatably connected to the support frame. The worm gear meshes with the worm.

[0013] Furthermore, the elastic clamp is made of an elastic plastic material.

[0014] Furthermore, support legs are installed at the four corners at the bottom of the housing.

[0015] Furthermore, a protective door is hinged to the front end of the housing.

[0016] Furthermore, the protective door is equipped with an observation window, which is made of double-layered high-temperature resistant tempered glass.

[0017] Furthermore, an exhaust port is provided at the upper end of the housing.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The circulating dryer for disinfecting hotel towels provided by this application can effectively separate and fix the towels by placing elastic clamps, partitions and U-shaped rods in the components. The elastic clamps can hold the two ends of the towels, and the partitions and U-shaped rods can prevent the towels from contacting each other, preventing the towels in a damp state from sticking together tightly due to fiber adsorption and forming a closed damp area.

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this application provides a circulating dryer for disinfecting hotel towels, including a cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 is made of 304 stainless steel, which not only has excellent high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, but also effectively reflects heat and reduces heat loss. Its smooth inner wall is easy to clean and avoids bacterial growth.

[0024] Support legs 10 are fixedly installed at the four corners at the bottom of the box 1. The bottom of the support legs 10 is treated with anti-slip material to stably support the entire equipment and prevent displacement due to vibration during operation. A protective door 7 is hinged to the front of the box 1. When closed, it can fit tightly with the box 1 to reduce heat loss and ensure stable temperature inside the box 1.

[0025] The protective door 7 is equipped with an observation window 8, which is made of double-layered high-temperature resistant tempered glass. This allows for a clear observation of the drying and disinfection process of the towels inside the cabinet 1 while effectively blocking the high temperature inside the cabinet 1 to prevent burns. A protective shell 11 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the cabinet 1. The protective shell 11 is made of cold-rolled steel plate with a powder-coated surface, providing excellent rust resistance and protecting the internal components from external dust and moisture. like Figure 5-7 As shown, the interior of the housing 1 contains a placement assembly 2. The placement assembly 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 rotatably mounted inside the housing 1. Two mounting seats 22 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 21. Multiple placement rods 23 are evenly distributed and fixedly mounted on the two mounting seats 22. The rotating shaft 21 is made of high-strength alloy steel and has undergone heat treatment, possessing high strength and toughness, capable of bearing the weight of the multiple placement rods 23 and the towel. The two mounting seats 22 are welded to the rotating shaft 21, ensuring a secure connection and preventing loosening. The multiple placement rods 23 are evenly distributed on the mounting seats 22 and are made of hollow stainless steel tubing.

[0026] Both sides of the upper end of the placement rod 23 are fixedly equipped with elastic clamps 24. The elastic clamps 24 are made of elastic plastic material, which has good elasticity and flexibility. They can firmly hold the ends of the towels to prevent them from slipping during the drying process without damaging the towel fibers. The partition 25 at the lower end of the placement rod 23 is made of high-temperature resistant plastic board with a smooth surface. It can separate the towels draped on the placement rod 23 to prevent them from sticking together due to contact. The multiple U-shaped rods 26 on both sides of the lower end of the partition 25 are also made of stainless steel. They can separate the towels on the same layer of the placement rod 23 to ensure that each towel can fully contact the hot air and improve the uniformity of drying. like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a drying assembly 3 is installed inside the chamber 1. The drying assembly 3 provides a continuous and stable heat source for the interior of the chamber 1. The drying assembly 3 includes two heating tubes 31 fixedly installed at the rear end of the chamber 1. The two heating tubes 31 are made of nickel-chromium alloy, which has high heating efficiency, fast heating speed, and long service life. Two fans 32 are fixedly installed at the rear end of the chamber 1. The two fans 32 installed inside the chamber 1 corresponding to the heating tubes 31 are driven by high-temperature resistant motors (not shown in the figure), which can quickly and evenly blow the heat generated by the heating tubes 31 to all corners inside the chamber 1.

[0027] A first ventilation hood 33 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the chamber 1, and a second ventilation hood 34 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the chamber 1. Both the first ventilation hood 33 and the second ventilation hood 34 are made of stainless steel mesh, which can not only allow hot air to pass through smoothly, but also prevent the towel from being sucked into the fan 32 or contacting the heating tube 31. An exhaust port 9 is provided at the upper end of the chamber 1. When the heating tube 31 is turned on, the fan 32 blows out hot air, which diffuses into the interior of the chamber 1 through the first ventilation hood 33 and comes into full contact with the rotating towel, taking away the moisture in the towel. The moisture is then discharged through the exhaust port on the chamber 1, forming a good air circulation and accelerating the drying speed. Multiple mounting frames 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the interior of the cabinet 1. Each mounting frame 5 contains a UV disinfection lamp 6. The mounting frames 5 are made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and corrosion-resistant. The UV disinfection lamps 6 installed inside the mounting frames 5 are medical-grade UV lamps that emit UV light with a wavelength of 253.7nm, which can effectively destroy the DNA structure of bacteria and viruses, achieving the purpose of sterilization and disinfection. The multiple UV disinfection lamps 6 are evenly distributed on both sides of the cabinet 1, which can irradiate the rotating towel from all directions, ensuring disinfection without dead angles. like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, a drive assembly 4 is provided at the lower end of the housing 1. The drive assembly 4 includes a mounting plate 41 installed inside the protective shell 11. The drive assembly 4 provides stable power for the rotation of the rotating shaft 21. A connecting shaft 42 is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting plate 41. The mounting plate 41 is made of thick steel plate, which can provide a stable mounting base for the connecting shaft 42. The connecting shaft 42 is made of high-strength steel and is connected to the rotating shaft 21 through a coupling, resulting in high transmission efficiency and smooth operation.

[0028] A worm gear 43 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 42. A drive motor 44 is fixedly installed inside the protective shell 11. A support frame 45 is fixedly installed on the other side of the mounting plate 41. A worm 46 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 44. The other end of the worm 46 is rotatably connected to the support frame 45. The worm gear 43 is meshed with the worm 46 to drive the rotating shaft 21 to rotate, thereby realizing the function of rotating and drying towels.

[0029] Both the worm gear 43 and the worm 46 are made of high-quality alloy steel and have a self-locking function, which can prevent the rotating shaft 21 from rotating on its own when it stops rotating. The drive motor 44 is started to make the rotating shaft 21 rotate at a suitable speed, ensuring that the towel can be heated evenly and receive ultraviolet radiation. The control module is installed in the control panel (not shown in the figure) on the side of the cabinet 1. It adopts a microcomputer control system and can control parameters such as drying time, drying temperature, and ultraviolet disinfection time. The operator sets the corresponding program on the control panel according to the material and quantity of the towels, and the equipment can automatically complete the drying and disinfection process.

[0030] Working principle: During use, the operator opens the protective door 7 and places the towels to be processed on the placement rods 23 of the placement assembly 2. The elastic clamps 24 on both sides of the placement rods 23 hold the ends of the towels to prevent them from slipping. The partition 25 and U-shaped rod 26 at the lower end of the placement rods 23 separate the towels to prevent them from contacting and sticking together, ensuring that each towel is fully exposed. After closing the protective door 7, it fits tightly against the housing 1 to reduce heat loss.

[0031] After setting the drying time, temperature and other parameters through the control panel, the drying component 3 is started. The two heating tubes 31 are powered on and generate a high-temperature heat source. At the same time, the fan 32 driven by the high-temperature resistant motor runs, blowing the heat from the heating tubes 31 quickly and evenly to all corners of the chamber 1 through the first ventilation hood 33.

[0032] As the rotating shaft 21 slowly rotates under the drive assembly 4, the towel rotates accordingly, allowing it to come into full contact with the hot air. The hot air carries away the moisture as it passes over the towel, and the moisture is finally discharged through the exhaust port 9 at the top of the chamber 1, thus drying the towel.

[0033] During the drying process, the ultraviolet disinfection lamps 6 installed in the frames 5 on both sides of the chamber 1 work simultaneously, releasing ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 253.7nm. As the towel rotates with the shaft 21, the ultraviolet light can irradiate it from all directions, destroying the DNA structure of bacteria and viruses, achieving disinfection without dead angles.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
