Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of storage cylinder technology, and specifically relates to a storage cylinder with an air drying function. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of storage technology, many materials have special requirements for the storage environment. Some materials require a vacuum environment, some require an inert gas protection environment, and some require a dry environment. Currently, the common technical method to obtain a dry storage environment is to add desiccants to the storage environment. However, this drying method is passive and slow. For storage containers that need to be opened frequently, this method cannot effectively keep the environment inside the container dry. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a storage cylinder with an air drying function, thereby solving the problem of low drying efficiency of conventional passive drying methods.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a storage cylinder with an air drying function, including a cylinder body and a cylinder cover. The bottom of the cylinder cover is provided with an insertion part that inserts into the upper opening of the cylinder body. A sealing ring is provided on the outer circumference of the insertion part, and the cylinder cover and the cylinder body are sealed together by the sealing ring. A gas flow channel is provided inside the cylinder cover. The two ends of the gas flow channel extend downward and penetrate the insertion part to form an air inlet and an air outlet on the bottom surface of the insertion part. A circulating fan and a desiccant box are connected to the gas flow channel. The desiccant box is filled with desiccant. A through hole communicating with the upstream and downstream gas flow channels is opened on the wall of the desiccant box. The circulating fan drives the air in the cylinder body to enter the gas flow channel through the air inlet, and after being dried by the desiccant box, it returns to the cylinder body through the air outlet.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment, a cooling plate is also provided in the gas flow channel, which is located upstream of the desiccant box.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the cooling chip is provided with heat dissipation fins.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, a battery pack is also provided inside the gas flow channel, located between the desiccant box and the circulating fan. An electrical compartment isolated from the gas flow channel is provided inside the cylinder cover, containing a circuit board with a control chip. A control panel is provided on the top surface of the cylinder cover and connected to the circuit board. The battery pack is connected to the circuit board and the circulating fan, supplying power to the circuit board and the circulating fan. The circulating fan is connected to and controlled by the control chip on the circuit board. The cooling element is connected to the circuit board, and the control chip controls the operation of the cooling element.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the electrical compartment is located directly above the cooling plate, and heat dissipation fins are attached to both sides of the cooling plate. One of the heat dissipation fins abuts against the bottom wall of the electrical compartment. The heat dissipation fin is provided with a cooling channel for the gas in the gas flow channel to pass through, and the cooling channel is parallel to the gas flow channel.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the electrical chamber extends above the gas flow channel upstream of the cooling chip, and a humidity sensor inserted into the gas flow channel is connected to the bottom wall of the electrical chamber. The humidity sensor is connected to a control chip on the circuit board, and the control chip detects the humidity of the air drawn into the gas flow channel inside the cylinder through the humidity sensor.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a drying chamber is isolated on the gas flow channel by a partition. The partition has through holes that connect the upstream and downstream gas flow channels. The drying chamber extends upward and forms an insertion port on the top surface of the cylinder cover. The desiccant box is inserted into the drying chamber through the insertion port, and the through holes on the desiccant box are aligned with the through holes on the partition.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the side wall of the cylinder cover is provided with a charging interface for charging the battery pack.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting up a gas flow channel, a circulating fan, and a desiccant box inside the cylinder cover, the circulating fan allows the air inside the cylinder to circulate through the gas flow channel, and the air in the circulation process passes through the desiccant box, thus carrying out continuous and efficient active drying, accelerating the drying efficiency of the air inside the cylinder, enabling the air inside the cylinder to quickly reach the required dryness, and ensuring the preservation effect of materials.

[0014] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] like Figures 1-3 The storage cylinder shown has an air drying function, including a cylinder body 1 and a cylinder cover 2. The bottom of the cylinder cover 2 is provided with an insertion part 3 that is inserted into the upper opening of the cylinder body 1. A sealing ring 4 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the insertion part 3. The cylinder cover 2 and the cylinder body 1 are sealed and connected by the sealing ring 4.

[0016] The cylinder cover 2 has a gas flow channel 5 inside. The two ends of the gas flow channel 5 extend downward and pass through the insertion part 3 to form an air inlet 6 and an exhaust 7 on the bottom surface of the insertion part 3. A circulating fan 8 and a desiccant box 9 are connected to the gas flow channel 5. The desiccant box 9 is filled with desiccant. The box wall of the desiccant box 9 has a through hole 10 that communicates with the upstream and downstream gas flow channels. The circulating fan 8 drives the air in the cylinder 1 to enter the gas flow channel 5 through the air inlet 6. After being dried by the desiccant box 9, the air returns to the cylinder 1 through the exhaust 7.

[0017] A gas flow channel 5, a circulating fan 8, and a desiccant box 9 are installed inside the cylinder cover 2. The circulating fan 8 circulates the air inside the cylinder 1 through the gas flow channel 5 and the air in the circulation process passes through the desiccant box 9 for continuous and efficient active drying, which accelerates the drying efficiency of the air inside the cylinder 1 and enables the air inside the cylinder 1 to quickly reach the required dryness, thus ensuring the preservation effect of the material.

[0018] In this embodiment, a cooling element 11 is preferably also provided in the gas flow channel 5, and the cooling element 11 is located upstream of the desiccant box 9. The cooling element 11 cools the passing gas, causing the moisture in the gas to condense, which is then more easily absorbed by the desiccant in the desiccant box 9, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the gas in a single cycle.

[0019] Preferably, heat dissipation fins 12 are attached to the cooling chip 11 to further improve the cooling efficiency of the gas flowing through the heat dissipation fins 12.

[0020] A battery pack 13 is also provided inside the gas flow channel 5. The battery pack 13 is located between the desiccant box 9 and the circulating fan 8. An electrical compartment 14 isolated from the gas flow channel 5 is provided inside the cylinder cover 2. A circuit board 15 is provided inside the electrical compartment 14. A control chip 16 is provided on the circuit board 15. A control screen 17 is provided on the top surface of the cylinder cover 2. The control screen 17 is connected to the circuit board 15. The battery pack 13 is connected to the circuit board 15 and the circulating fan 8, and supplies power to the circuit board 15 and the circulating fan 8. The circulating fan 8 is connected to and controlled by the control chip 16 on the circuit board 15. The cooling chip 11 is connected to the circuit board 15. The control chip 16 controls the operation of the cooling chip 11.

[0021] The battery pack 13 improves the ease of use of the storage cylinder, eliminating the need for a power outlet. It also heats the flowing dry air, preventing condensation inside the cylinder 1 due to the air returning to it and cooling the air there. The cooled air flowing through the battery pack 13 also helps to lower its temperature, improving operational safety and extending its lifespan.

[0022] By setting the control panel 17, users can set the humidity requirements of the storage environment according to the material storage conditions.

[0023] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the electrical compartment 14 is located directly above the cooling chip 11. Heat dissipation fins 12 are attached to both sides of the cooling chip 11. One of the heat dissipation fins 12 abuts against the bottom wall of the electrical compartment 14. The heat dissipation fin 12 is provided with a cooling channel 18 for the gas in the gas channel 5 to pass through. The cooling channel 18 is parallel to the gas channel 5.

[0024] The electrical compartment 14 can be indirectly cooled by the heat dissipation fins 12 abutting against the bottom wall of the electrical compartment 14, so that the circuit board 15 and the control chip 16 thereon are at a safe operating temperature.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the electrical compartment 14 extends above the gas flow channel 5 upstream of the cooling chip 11. A humidity sensor 19, inserted into the gas flow channel 5, is connected to the bottom wall of the electrical compartment 14. The humidity sensor 19 is connected to the control chip 16 on the circuit board 15. The control chip 16 detects the humidity of the air drawn into the gas flow channel 5 inside the cylinder 1 through the humidity sensor 19, and controls the operation of the cooling chip 11 and the circulating fan 8 according to the air humidity. When the air humidity reaches the target requirement, the control chip 16 controls the circulating fan 8 and the cooling chip 11 to stop working in order to reduce energy consumption and extend standby time.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a drying chamber 21 is separated from the gas flow channel 5 by a partition 20. The partition 20 has a through hole 10 that connects the upstream and downstream gas flow channels 5. The drying chamber 21 extends upward and forms an insertion port 22 on the top surface of the cylinder cover 2. The desiccant box 9 is inserted into the drying chamber 21 through the insertion port 22. The through hole 10 on the desiccant box 9 is directly opposite to the through hole 10 on the partition 20.

[0027] The desiccant box 9 is externally inserted for easy desiccant replacement. The desiccant box 9 fits tightly against the inner wall of the drying chamber 21 to prevent air leakage. A sealing strip can be installed on the top outer circumference of the desiccant box 9 to achieve a sealed connection with the inner wall of the drying chamber 21.

[0028] The side wall of the cylinder cover 2 is provided with a charging interface 23 for charging the battery pack 13. When the battery pack 13 has insufficient power, the control chip 16 can prompt the user to charge it through the control screen 17.

[0029] The working process of this invention is as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, after the user opens and closes the cylinder cover 2, the drying function can be activated via the control panel 17. At this time, the control chip 16 controls the circulating fan 8 to work, drawing air from the cylinder 1 into the gas flow channel 5 through the air inlet 6. The air then flows through the cooling plate 11 or heat dissipation fins 12 for cooling, and then passes through the desiccant box 9 for drying. The gas is then heated by the battery pack 13 while simultaneously cooling the battery pack 13. Finally, the gas returns to the cylinder 1 through the exhaust port 7 after passing through the circulating fan 8. During the circulation process, the air inside the cylinder 1 is rapidly dried.

[0030] The duration for which the control chip 16 controls the circulating fan 8 to work can be preset or determined based on the results detected by the humidity sensor 19. For example, when the humidity sensor 19 detects that the air humidity meets the standard, the control chip 16 controls the circulating fan 8 and the cooling chip 11 to stop working.

[0031] When a humidity sensor 19 is installed, the user can also activate the intelligent mode. The control chip 16 can detect the humidity of the gas in the gas flow channel 5 through the humidity sensor 19. When the humidity exceeds the preset value, the control chip 16 automatically starts the circulating fan 8 and the cooling chip 11 to dry the air in the cylinder 1. When the humidity sensor 19 detects that the air humidity meets the standard, the control chip 16 controls the circulating fan 8 and the cooling chip 11 to stop working.

[0032] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, as well as some examples of its application, and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
