Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feather product production, in particular to a drying and cooling device for deep processing of feathers. Background Art

[0002] Feathers are a light and soft material that usually comes from the body of birds. They cover the body surface, are light and tough, slightly elastic, waterproof, and have functions such as body protection, heat preservation, and flying. Feather pieces are the product of feather processing.

[0003] Common feather products include down jackets, feather accessories, badminton, etc. Feathers need to go through steps such as cleaning, hot air drying, and cooling during the processing.

[0004] The traditional cooling method is to spread the feather products on the ground and use multiple fans to blow air at the feather products to reduce the temperature of the feather products. The disadvantages are: first, it takes up a lot of production space; second, the air blowing is uneven, resulting in poor cooling effect; third, manual bagging is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is very cumbersome.

[0005] For this reason, some auxiliary equipment for feather products have appeared in the prior art. Referring to the patent document CN219368228U, a dryer for processing feather pieces is disclosed, which belongs to the technical field of down processing, and comprises a drying cylinder, a cylindrical drying chamber is arranged on the front side of the drying cylinder, and a sealing cover is connected to the front end of the drying chamber by a hinge; a rotating mechanism is installed inside the drying chamber, and the rotating mechanism comprises a drying net cylinder, and a closed net cover is connected to the front end of the drying net cylinder by a hinge, and a transmission motor is connected to the rear end center of the closed net cover; a heating chamber is arranged inside the drying cylinder in the bottom area of ​​the drying chamber, an air inlet is arranged on one side of the heating chamber, and an induced draft fan is installed inside the heating chamber at the air inlet, and a plurality of electric heating pipes are arranged at equal distances inside the heating chamber. The rotating mechanism is arranged inside the drying cylinder of the device, and the down can be tumble-dried in a drum, and there is no need for a stirring rod to stir and tumble, so as to improve the drying effect and effectively solve the problem that the stirring rod is easily stuck and the equipment stops running when the stirring rod stirs the down with moisture. This type of equipment can play a significant drying role, but it also brings some defects, such as: 1. It adopts heating drying method. Feathers contain a lot of protein. Continuous high temperature will damage the internal structure of the feathers, which are prone to curling and deformation, or even heat damage, making the feathers unable to continue to be processed and used normally; 2. This equipment is a closed equipment with limited drying capacity at a single time, which cannot meet the continuous production needs of the factory. If a large number of equipment are used, it will occupy a large amount of production space and the cost will be higher. Summary of the invention

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 6A drying and cooling device for deep processing of feathers, comprising: a cooling container 1, which has a containing inner cavity 101, a feed port 102 is provided at the upper end of the cooling container 1, and a discharge port 103 is provided at the lower end, and the feed port 102 and the discharge port 103 are both connected to the containing inner cavity 101; a barrel 2, which is in a cone shape with a larger upper portion and a smaller lower portion, the barrel 2 is installed in the cooling container 1, and a discharge port 201 is provided at the lower end of the barrel 2, and the discharge port 201 is docked with and connected to the feed port 102; a cover barrel 3, which is in an inverted cone shape with a smaller upper portion and a larger lower portion, the cover barrel 3 is located above the barrel 2, and the size of the cover barrel 3 is smaller than the size of the barrel 2, so that a discharge gap 4 is formed between the outer edge of the cover barrel 3 and the inner wall of the barrel 2; a cooling fan 5, which is connected to the containing inner cavity 101 through an air inlet pipe 6; a plurality of air guide holes 202, which are provided and distributed on the barrel 2.

[0041] The above structure is the basic structural scheme of the utility model. The high-temperature feather products enter the barrel 2 containing the inner cavity 101 through the feed port 102. The cooling fan 5 is started to blow cold air into the containing inner cavity 101. The cold air enters the barrel 2 through the air guide hole 202 and cools down the high-temperature feather products in the barrel 2. The cooled feather products are discharged from the discharge port 103 under the action of gravity.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has unique advantages in that, first, the cooling equipment does not require an installation height of 4-5 meters, and the overall size is small, which can more easily meet the use requirements of the existing actual site of the manufacturer; second, it adopts air cooling, and the surface of the feather product remains dry after cooling, and subsequent operations can be carried out directly; third, the use of the conical barrel with the air guide hole 202 can form an all-round air guide effect, thereby accelerating the cooling; fourth, a feeding gap 4 is provided, which can only pass a certain amount of feather products, thereby effectively controlling the feeding amount per unit time; fifth, the feed port 102 and the discharge port 103 are respectively connected to the equipment of the previous and next processes, so as to realize unmanned automatic production.

[0043] A preferred configuration of the utility model is that a mounting bracket 7 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the cooling container 1, and the mounting bracket 7 extends outward to form an integrated fan bracket 701, and the cooling fan 5 is installed on the fan bracket 701. When the preferred configuration is adopted, the main components of the cooling equipment can be installed on the integrated bracket (mounting bracket 7 and fan bracket 701) to meet the installation requirements. Furthermore, the lower ends of the mounting bracket 7 and the fan bracket 701 are provided with rollers 702 to facilitate the staff to move the cooling equipment, and to form a ground clearance 703 between the mounting bracket 7 and the ground bracket to allow the discharge pipe 8 to pass.

[0044] Another use setting of the utility model is that the discharge port 103 is provided with a discharge pipe 8, and the discharge pipe 8 extends out of the cooling container 1 through the ground clearance 703. On the other hand, a feed pipe 9 is also included, and the feed pipe 9 extends into the cooling container 1 through the feed port 102, and the feed pipe 9 is above the cover barrel 3. The high-temperature feather products are fed through the feed pipe 9, and the cooled feather products are discharged through the discharge pipe 8. At the same time, the staff can select different sizes of feed pipes 9 and discharge pipes 8 according to the production volume of the production equipment, thereby increasing or reducing the cooling volume per unit time to meet the needs of different equipment.

[0045] Embodiment 2

[0046] Conventionally, the installation of a single cooling fan 5 is offset, so the airflow near the cooling fan 5 is larger, and the airflow away from the cooling fan 5 is significantly smaller, resulting in an uneven cooling effect on feather products in various parts, that is, the temperature of some feather products has dropped significantly, but the temperature of other parts of feather products is still high, which leads to inconsistent performance of feather products in the same batch.

[0047] Reference Figure 3-4 Based on the structure of embodiment one, this embodiment provides a preferred air inlet and drainage structure scheme, which is as follows: an annular air duct 10 is provided between the material barrel 2 and the cooling container 1, and a plurality of air outlet holes 1001 are distributed on the annular air duct 10, and the annular air duct 10 is docked and connected with the cooling fan 5.

[0048] By providing the annular air duct 10, the airflow of the cooling fan 5 will not diffuse immediately when entering the cooling container 1. Instead, the airflow can be guided so that the intake air flows around the annular air duct 10, and then is discharged into the accommodating inner cavity 101 through each air outlet 1001, so that the low-temperature air can enter the accommodating inner cavity 101 more evenly, thereby achieving a good and consistent cooling effect on the feather products.

[0049] Furthermore, according to the air pressure values ​​at various locations in the annular air duct 10, preferably, the apertures of the air outlet holes 1001 are different, and the aperture of the air outlet holes 1001 near the cooling fan 5 is smaller than the aperture of the air outlet holes 1001 far from the cooling fan 5, so that the air outlet is more balanced.

[0050] Embodiment 3

[0051] Based on the structure of any of the above embodiments, this embodiment provides several preferred implementation structures, which are as follows:

[0052] 1. Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3The cover barrel 3 has a cross-shaped bracket 301, and the outer end of the cross-shaped bracket 301 abuts against the inner wall of the barrel 2 to form the material discharge gap 4. The difference between the size of the cross-shaped bracket 301 and the outer diameter of the cover barrel 3 is the radial size of the material discharge gap 4, so that the size of the material discharge gap 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the cross-shaped bracket 301 and / or the cover barrel 3, thereby meeting the requirements of different models of equipment for the material discharge speed.

[0053] 2. Reference Figure 3 The cover barrel 3 is provided with an air pressure balance hole 302. Since the cover barrel 3 adopts a non-fixed structure, when the airflow pressure generated by the cooling fan 5 is large enough, the cover barrel 3 will be pushed up, causing the cover barrel 3 to tilt or even be overturned, and the feather products will be blown outwards, and the material cannot be unloaded normally, causing the equipment to be unable to operate normally.

[0054] 3. Reference Figure 5 The material barrel 2 is detachably connected to the cooling container 1, and a disassembly gap 11 is provided between the outer edge of the material barrel 2 and the inner wall of the cooling container 1 to facilitate disassembly. A sealing gasket 12 is also embedded in the disassembly gap 11 to prevent the feather products from entering and exiting the disassembly gap 11, and at the same time, it can also play a supporting role, so that the material barrel 2 is stably installed in the cooling container 1, which plays a role in eliminating shaking and reducing noise.

[0055] It is worth noting that other technical solutions of the present invention belong to the prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0056] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the concept of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
